Feeling the cold and brisk air blowing from the vent above me, I turn over my left shoulder to face Derek's soft, warm back, sliding my arm around his waist.
Opening my eyes slightly, I glanced around at the Triskelion on his back before noticing the freckles scattered around his shoulders.
"Mmm..." I hear him groan.
Pressing myself closer to him, I heard the jingling of a bell coming from the stairs.
"What was that?" Derek groaned.
"...I don't know..."
Propping myself up, I wrapped the blanket around my chest as Derek Reached down his sweats on the floor.
"Where are you going?" I asked.
"I'm gonna go check, I'll be right back."
Sitting up on the bed, I watched as Derek grabbed the doorknob, turning it slowly. Peeking through the open crack, I could see his eyes change color when suddenly blue runs into the room.
"Holy-"
Holding myself tightly, Blue runs around the room for a bit just as Derek closes the door behind him.
"I never thought I would get scared of a dog." He whispered.
Patting the edge of the bed, Blue, who was about a year old prances around before laying near my feet.
"Come on, we have a big day ahead of us." I sighed, laying back down on the bed.
Sliding beside me, he lays his arms underneath the back of my neck as I rest my head on his chest and wrapping myself around him.
'I take you, Savannah Olivia McCall, to be my wife. For as long as I live.'
Feeling the ring slide down my finger, his hands were warm to the touch. His fingertips were firm as they gripped on the ring before he held my hand to the light as it glimmered against the sun.
'I take you, Derek Michael Hale, to be my husband. For as long as I live.'
Hearing the guest around us as they sniffed and mumbled among themselves, there was an echo breaking through the winds. A sharp pain immediately stings my stomach, leaving a pulsing feeling along my nerves.
'Savannah...' I heard Derek gasped.
Following his eyes, they directly dart down to my waist.
Blood seeped through the white dress, slowly dispersing itself around in a circular shape. The warm sensation trailing down the side of my legs, dripping down the steps and onto the grass below us.
'Savannah?' I heard Kate say behind me.
Turning my head to face her, her eyes were wide and filled with fear as another shot echoed through the winds, hitting the side of my chest and forcing me to fall into Derek's arms.
'Oh my, God!' My mom screams.
Glancing over to the side of the Wedding arch, I saw something walk out from behind the trees. A black metal crossbow hung around their arm as they approached the crowd, slowly pushing them aside, I could finally see who it was.
'You should've killed me when you had the chance, Savannah.' Gerard said
And with the pull of the trigger, he fires another arrow directly to my head.
"Ah!"
Jumping up from the bed, I gasped frantically, scaring Blue and Derek out of bed.
"What? What happened?" He blurted out.
