The Secret Hale| Derek Hales sister

Brooke's POV

"Hey, you're the one who heard a wolf howl, not us." Stiles reminds Scott as we continue strolling through the woods.

"Okay but there could be something seriously wrong with me!" Scott snaps.

"I know your a werewolf!" Stiles jokes, not knowing he's correct.

He then makes some weird growl noise before telling Scott that he's kidding.

"But if you see me in shop class melting all the silver I can find, it's because the full moon is Friday." Stiles informs us.

Scott stops walking, staring down at the ground beneath us. He holds his arms in the air and mutters a "no", looking very confused.

"I could have sworn this was it. I saw the body, the deer came running, I dropped my inhaler." Scott says, bending down and rummaging through the leaves

"Maybe the killer took the body" Stiles suggested. I tense my jaw and look to the ground again.

"If he did, I hope he left my inhaler." Scott remarked, causing me to chuckle.

I look behind me as I see Derek standing there watching us. I give him a quick smile before realizing Stiles saw him also. He quickly hit Scott on the back.

"What are you doing here?" Derek asked, walking towards us.

"Huh? This is private property." He adds, making Stiles stiffen up.

"Uh, sorry. We didn't know." A nervous Stiles answers. I place my hand on his shoulder to calm him down. He takes his eyes off Derek and turns to me with a soft smile, instantly relaxing.

"Yea we were just, looking for something. But,Forget it." Scott tells Derek

I nod my head in Scott's direction, showing Derek that the boy with mop hair is the Beta. Derek then takes the inhaler out of his pocket and throws it to Scott. He then walks away, sticking his hands in his pockets.

I look over at stiles who has his mouth wide open. I'm impressed as well. Who knew Derek could find something as small as an inhaler when he wasn't looking for it. That leads me to believe he knew Scott was out here last night, and me telling him there's a new werewolf was old news.

"Dude! That was Derek hale!" Stiles tells him, causing my breath to catch in my chest. I turn sharply to meet eyes with him.

"You remember right? He's only like a few years older than us." He adds

"Remember what?" Scott asked.

"His family, they all burned to death in a fire like ten years ago." Stiles informs us, causing me to tense my jaw. I could feel the tears developing in my eyes.

"Wonder what he's doing back." Scott says.

"Maybe he wanted to feel closer to his family again." I speak up for the first time in a while, making the boys look at me in confusion.

"I mean, his old house isn't too far from here. That's the last place he saw them all, you know?" I defend myself, trying not to sound emotionally involved. Except I am, and this is one of the reasons I was ready to come back.

They both nod their heads as Scott leads the way back to our cars.

As we get back to our cars, or bike for Scott, Stiles is quick to grab my arm and pull me aside.
