'Teen Wolf' Imagines

Family Secrets (Derek Hale, Feat. Stiles and Cora)

"We don't have much time," Cora said as she opened Derek's bedroom door. "He went to the store and I don't know how long that'll take."

"Okay, so what exactly are we looking for?" Stiles walked over to the bookshelf and quickly skimmed through it to see if anything unusual stood out.

"Anything we can find out about Derek's past in high school," Cora rummaged through Derek's drawers and tried to put it back as he left it. "Around this time of the year, Derek is always so mopey and depressed, and I have a feeling it has to do with something that happened in high school."

"Do you think it has to do with why his eyes are blue?" Stiles asked as he made his way to the desk and began looking through the drawers.

"Most definitely," Cora moved over to the closet and began searching for clues. "He never told me what happened. I honestly don't think he's told anyone."

Stiles moved some stuff around the first drawer and found nothing but the basic office supplies, pens, paper clips, stapler, Post-It's, etc. Stiles opened the bottom drawer, which was filled with folders organized and labeled for his bills. Stiles paused as he noticed the folders. He closed it and walked back to the bookshelf, where he noticed a similar folder slightly peeking out between two big books. He pulled it out and opened the folder. "I think I found something."

Cora closed the closet doors and rushed towards Stiles. She noticed a picture of her brother from high school with a girl she had never seen or met before.

"Do you know who that is?" Stiles asked as he began to skim through the random papers Derek had in the folder. They were newspaper clippings and copies of the police reports when his house burnt down years ago.

Cora shook her head. She flipped the back of the photo and noticed Derek's handwriting. "Paige..." She paused for a second, trying to remember if the name registered. "Derek never mentioned a Paige."

"Wait a minute," Stiles pulled out another photo that was hidden behind the newspaper clippings. He pulled out a photo of Derek and Paige in the middle with two other people in the photo.

"That's my uncle Peter," Cora pointed at the older teenager standing next to young Derek. "But I have no idea who's next to Paige." Stiles swallowed hard. Cora looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "Your heart is beating fast. Do you know her?"

"Yeah," he whispered. "That's my sister."

"You have a sister? And you didn't know she knew Derek, Peter, and Paige, let alone went to high school with them?" Cora asked.

Stiles shook his head. "She's older than me, with the big age difference between us, we never had anything in common as I was still in middle school when she was in high school, but..." Stiles left the sentence hanging, making Cora even more impatient.

"But what?" She asked eagerly. "What happened?"

"She couldn't wait to get out of here the second she graduated," Stiles looked at the photo once more, wondering what happened between the four of them since high school. Now that he knew Derek and Peter were werewolves, he couldn't help if his sister knew about the supernatural world, and if it had anything to do with her suddenly leaving the second she graduated, or worse, if she was a supernatural creature too.

"I need to call her." Stiles pulled out his cell phone from his pocket and quickly dialed her number. As the phone rang, Cora put the photos back in the folder before sliding it back in between the books where Derek had left it. She leaned against the desk as the phone continued to ring. Cora could hear Stiles' heart thundering against his chest as he paced back and forth in front of the desk with the smell of anxiety mixing with his cologne.
