When We Were Young: Part Two (Derek Hale)

Chapter 2

Here I am guarding Kate Argents funeral from all the reporters and stupid nosy kids. "Back up come on" I kept telling people trying to get over the yellow tape. That's when I saw him, Gerard, I heard he was a psycho. A hunter who doesn't go by the code. Like his daughter. And he's here...In my town. Speaking of nosy kids, out of the corner of my eye I saw two little heads poking at the scene from behind a gravestone some distance away.  I sneaked up behind them and grabbed the back of their shirts dragging them back to where they were standing.

"The two of you are the stupidest most nosy teenagers I have ever met in my entire life" I yelled at them.

"Yep..okay" Stiles said "I get that"

"Why are you here?" Scott asked.

"Why am I here...why are you here!"

"I'm here for Allison. Why are you guarding the funeral of the woman who killed your family?" Scott asked. I looked around to make sure no one was listening and drug them farther away.

"Because no one knows that my family was in the fire too" I told them "It was Laura's way of protecting me from being stared at and being the town freak. Now the both of you in my car NOW!" I yelled. I was sitting up front while the two bozos sat in the back.

"415 Adam" Dispatch said.

"415 Adam? What?" I said looking at the radio with a confused face. I heard Stiles tell Scott it was a disturbance in a vehicle which he was right. The sheriff's voice came on the radio to make sure that is what was really heard.

"Yeah they had a heart attack victim TOA, but on the way to hospital something hit em, I'm standing in front of it right now, something got in the back there is blood everywhere" The sheriff asked for the location and told my unit to follow him. I looked behind me to see the two boys with their mouths hung open looking like they were waiting for a treat. Before I could tell them to get out they both said the same thing.

"We're going" Choosing not the argue I went ahead and let them. Once I got there Scott went his own way in the woods. I probably should have told them that another werewolf was out there but it escaped my mind. I went ahead and snuck a text to Derek giving him the location of the sight, hoping that maybe he will be able to find the stray. I got out of the car with Stiles and I was following up on the incident when Stiles shouted Lydia's name. I looked and saw a messy haired naked Lydia standing there looking scared and confused.

"Well is anybody going to get me a coat?" She asked. I saw Stiles trying to grab the sheriff's coat but he fainted. Poor boy.

"Yep" I said and went over to give her my coat.

Once I got home I let out a long sigh. It was a long day. I saw Derek sitting on my couch but didn't react like I would have in the past. He just breaks in when he wants. "Did you find the werewolf?" I asked. "We found Lydia, she's fine"

"Hunter are in town, Gerard" He said with barely any emotion in his voice.

"Yeah I saw" I said

"They are going to come after me Haley. I can't stay here you'll get hurt" He said. I walked and sat down next to him.

"I think I will be fine" I said.

"No Haley, you don't understand, Gerard doesn't follow a code, he will go after innocent werewolves I heard him say that none of it matters. I don't know what they will do when It comes to you, you being human but part of a werewolf family. It's best if I stay away from you."

"Where are you going to go...huh?" I asked. Part of me was disappointed he was leaving. I got used to him being around. Him being here wouldn't put me in danger I am sure of it. He just pushes people away. It's what he does best.

"I already have a place in mind." He said. I wonder what place he is talking about but I didn't say anything I just nodded.

"You know sometimes I think you forget I am a cop and I put my life in danger everyday" I said.

"I do remember and I don't like that either but I can't tell you to quit your job Haley" He said getting up. What does he think he has the right to tell me what the hell to do.

"You can't tell me to do anything!" I shouted. "You don't own me Derek I don't know why you think you do"

"I never said I did!" He shouted stepping closer "I don't think you understand what you mean to me Haley" I started to feel my heart beat rapidly "You are the only person I trust, the only person I have left, so I am going to protect you from hunters, from werewolves from anything and the only way I can do that is if I am no where near you right now. I'll keep an eye on you, you just won't know"

"Starting when?" I asked

"Starting now" He said.

"Fine" I said

"Fine" He said. We were just staring at each other for God knows how long. Next thing I now I am being pinned up against the wall with Derek's lips on mine. Our tongues were fighting each other and our hands were feeling all over. I didn't know how much I missed this type of contact and I didn't know how much I wanted Derek until now. At this moment there were no hunters, no problems. Just us.
