Derek perched on the edge of the cold hard hospital chair; his hand grasped around Vicky's; the weight of exhaustion pushing his eyes closed. The click of a light switch and the harsh lighting made Derek jump, he looked up to see someone enter the room.

"Derek, you're still here?" Melissa asked, walking over to check Vickys monitor.

"Im not leaving" he replied quickly, "until shes able to leave the hospital with me."

Melissa smiled slightly, she looked down at the girl, "that might be sooner than we previously thought, her progress is much better now the gold is out her system."

"How fast?" Dereks eyes flashed with hope.

"Not sure, as we havent monitored her before. But, personally, I think the end of the week" Melissa stroked Vickys forehead in a motherly fashion, "I hope anyway "

"We all hope so", he squeezed the blondes hand

Nathan sat cross legged in the middle of a dark and dingy room, two people stood opposite him, leaning against a table loaded with guns and ammunition. "You could have killed her!" Vickys father shouted, he threw a magazine onto the table.

"She nearly killed me" Nathan spat, he looked up, his purple eyes glowing around the darkness surrounding him. "Do you even care about that?" he stood up and faced off the older man.

"Starting to have my doubts" David replied quietly as Nathan walked over to the vast array of guns. "Whats the plan?"

"Whats your plan for her?" Nathan picked up a small pistol. "You want to kill her, get her away from her friends, destroy her life he mused, pacing around the small room, yet, when I nearly succeed in killing the girl, youre angry at me?" he faked being hurt, "whats your game plan?"

David was silent, he looked at Lilly. "Of, of course we want her out the picture" she stuttered, "just not in the same fashion as you do" she paused, "why do you want her dead so passionately?"

"You dont realize that she could discover her true power" Nathan leaned against the wall opposite the hunters.

"True power?" Lilly asked

"There is a lore on Indigos, where one in a century can become the most powerful, even without stealing the power from others, their power more extraordinary than ever seen before" his tone full of resentment.

"Like a true alpha?"

"Yes" Nathan replied, "like a true alpha. And we dont need McCall pairing up with Vicky now do we?"

The hospital room door opened revealing two teens, they quickly closed the door behind them, they were greeted with a stern looking Derek. "What are you doing here?" he hissed, "without that footage?"

Scott and Stiles stood at the end of Vickys bed, "because we wanted to see our best friend" Scott retorted quickly, he glanced at Derek and his eyes landed on Vicky. Derek slumped back in his seat, looking exhausted. "How is she?" 

"Much better than yesterday" Derek watched Vickys monitor, "just listen to her heart, your mom said she should wake up soon he looked at the teenagers. When are you getting me that footage?"

"Yes, we all want to take a good look at it" Peter smiled as he walked into the room, making Stiles jump. "I want to know who I have the pleasure of ripping someone's throat out"

"No one is having their throat ripping out" A small voice replied, Vicky weakly pushed herself up and looked around the room, her eyes resting on the older Hale, "you're not going to kill anyone" 

Peter scowled, "the first words you utter after being in a coma are those?" he sighed, "dont you want payback?" 

Vicky squeezed Dereks hand and smiled, before her gaze returned to Peter, "I think I remember two werewolves informing me that vengeance missions were never successful" a small smirk complimented her words. "So, when can I leave?" 

Stiles gawped at the blonde, "youve woken up from a two-week coma, and youre asking when you can leave?" he looked shocked, "you confuse me" 

Vicky looked at Stiles and frowned, "oi, Stilinski, I still remember saying no hospitals, and where do I find myself when I wake up from said coma"

"Yes, but, you, you" Stiles stuttered a response, getting hot under the stern look the blonde was giving him

"Well go get my mom" Scott smiled at Vicky and pushed Stiles out the room. Once the door shut leaving just the Hales as company for Vicky.

"You look awful" Vicky commented, looking at Derek, "did you sleep?"

"He hasnt left your side" Peter confirmed before Derek even opened his mouth to reply, "not even to sleep"

"Thats stupid!" the blonde smirked, "you could sleep without me getting murdered in my sleep!"

"I didnt want to take that chance" Derek muttered in response.

"Hi Vick!" Melissa walked into the room, cutting the slight tension in the air, she was grinning, "how're you feeling?" 

"Dandy" Vicky replied, "apart from the impression I am a human pincushion. I dont want them in" 

"No worries!" Melissa replied, sensing her phobia, "most will be removed now youre awake" she laid her hand on Vickys before she could rip one out, lets let the doctors do that

Vicky sighed, "so, when can I leave?" she looked over at Scott and Stiles, "and youve been keeping my homework right?" 

"Youre not leaving until youre well enough" Melissa replied, she was checking Vickys monitor.

"We havent really had time to think about homework" Scott replied, after exchanging a look with Stiles.

Vicky rolled her eyes at both answers, "well cant I discharge myself?"

"I-I suppose" Melissa replied, she looked confused, "but wed have to get all the forms"

"I want the forms" Vicky adamantly replied

Derek looked at Vicky, "You sure?" 

"100%" she replied, "I dont want to be here more than I have to"
