Another Hale

Chapter 3

"You're not going out there alone." I tell Derek. 

"You have school. You go to bed ,I'll be back by the time you wake up in the morning." He told me.

"School doesn't mean anything if you're at risk because you're trying to find an alpha that I can help with. I can help Derek. I've put you on your ass multiple times. I can do this." I tell him.

"Jess, just go to bed and I'll see you in the morning." He told me.

"No, you're not going out there alone." 

"Jessica! Get your ass to bed! You're not coming with me!" He lost his cool demeanor and started yelling.

"No." I stated firmly. 

He let himself turn. "Jessica, you better stay here or I'll make you stay."

I let myself turn too. I growled at him defiantly. He wouldn't hurt me ,would he? I don't think so. 

He tilted his head challenging. The only time he's fought me was while training. He would teach me how to fight ,but that's it. He took a step towards me and I got in my fighting stance. 

"I'm sorry ,Jess." He said before throwing his fist at me.

I dodged it ,barely. He's actually trying to fight me. He hasn't done this before. He always let Laura be the one that was in charge of keeping me under control ,unless he disagreed with her. 

I threw my own fist at him. He grabbed it and used it to flip me onto the ground. I put my hands above my shoulders ,palm to the ground, and rolled myself to partially sit up before rolling g back to my palms ,using my momentum to push myself back to my feet with my arms.

He sent a kick at my side. I caught his leg and twisted it. He jumped over my leg when I swung it to trip him. He jumped again but he used the leg that I wasn't holding to kick my side. I had to let go of his leg and fell back. He fell to the ground as well. We both jumped back up.

This time when I threw a punch at him I hit him square in the jaw ,with enough force to make him turn his head and stumble a bit. While he was off guard I threw another punch to his face then one to his gut. He must of had enough because he pulled his fist back and with quite a bit force threw a punch at my face. He hit my temple and everything turned black. 

It wasn't even a slow fade to black. It was I was standing and could see one moment ,then his fist collided with my face and everything was black.

Derek had made it back this morning. He was asleep when I left though. I woke up without a bruise from our fight ,thank you werewolf healing. 

I was now walking through the halls. I walked past Jackson and smelt blood. I located it on the back of his neck ,he kept rubbing it ,there was a little blood on the collar of his shirt ,and there were marks on the back of his neck.

"Hey, Jackson, are you okay?" I asked. Those looked suspiciously like claw marks.

"Yeah, some guy looking for McCall dug his nails in the back of my neck. Why you worried about me?" He smirked.

"Who was looking for Scott?" I asked. 

"Just some pale dude with black hair. You were worried ,weren't you?" Derek ,I'm guessing, was who was looking for Scott. Why is he looking for Scott?

"No, I was just wondering if someone finally tried to kick your ass." I dead panned.

"No one would want to kick my ass." He replied.

"Really ,three names just popped in my head and that's without even thinking about it." His smirk dropped for a moment before it returned.

"Well, they wouldn't actually try anything."
