Chapter 18

~Crystal's P.O.V~

       I woke up to the calm sound of Derek's heart beat against my ear. My head laid on his chest as he lightly snored in my other ear. Today was my parents anniversary. Great. I sat up and ran my hand through my hair. "What's wrong babe," Derek said pulling me back down and wrapping his arms around me. I kissed his chest and snuggle and buried myself in to him more. "Today's my parents Anniversary," I mumbled against his chest while tracing his abs. "Are you ok," he asked kissing my head. "Honestly I don't know," I said looking up at him. Then Dylan started to cry, "I'll get him." I said getting up and going into his room.

      Dylan sat in his crib crying. I picked him up and rocked him in my arms until he stopped. I smiled at him and went back in my room, bringing him with me. "What's wrong champ," Derek asked looking at our son. "I'm scawred daddy," Dil said in a small voice as Derek took him from my arms.

      "Crystal are you ready to go?" Kol asked walking in my room but he stopped to take in my appearance. He was dressed in jeans, a t-shirt, and our father's dog tags. He raised his eye brows and tilted his head a little, "I guess not. Oh before I forget, here." He tossed me a small black box, "it was mom's before she- you know..." I gave my brother a small smile before opening it. There was a beautiful locket opened with a picture of my parents, Kol, and I.  This was the last picture we took together as a family before they died.

         I smiled and wiped the tears off of my face. "I love it, thank you so much Kol." I pull my brother in a hug, which of course he returns. "I knew you would love it." We pull away, "I should go get dressed." I said walking into my walk in closet.

     I walked out of my closet ready to go visit my parents grave. Derek starred at me as I walked over to Dylan. I kissed his head and said, "I'll be back later sweetheart, love you." He wrapped his tiny arms around me, "I wove you too mommy." He was so adorable. I hugged Derek and kissed his cheek, "I love you." "I love you more," he looked at me with concern eyes before letting me go. I smiled at him and left with Kol.

      Kol and I stood in front of our parents tombstones, silent.   "I miss you guys,"  I whisper holding on to Kol's hand. "I wish you were here." The tombstones glowed brightly making Kol jump in front of me. "What the hell was that," Kol said standing in front of me. I held onto his hand tighter as the tombstones started to shake. Kol looked up and started too sniff the air. "I caught a sent, spring heroes. Come on," he said running in the woods, dragging me with him. Soon I catch the scent and let out a hiss. my eyes glowed green and Kol's glow their orange color as we run through the woods looking for the other springs. We get to a clearing and Derek, Ian, and Taylor are standing looking around. "You guys caught the scent too?" Kol asked as we walk over to them. "Yeah, but why are they here? They should know this is Banks territory." Taylor says walking towards us. Ian and Derek look at each other than try to walk but they stay still. "Kol what's happening," I asked grabbing his hand again. "I need to track them, you need to concentrate on getting Ian and Derek free. Taylor help her." I nodded and let go of my older brother. I take a deep breath and look towards Taylor. She takes my hand and gives me a small smile.  I focus on the two wolves in front and send a beam their way.

     When the beam touches them they start to walk. And out of nowhere they get tackled by the other springs. The guy had Derek by the throat and the woman grabbed Ian's hair. "Stop," I yell. They look up and hiss at me. They both looked so familiar. "Mom? Dad?" Kol asked them I gave Kol an are- you- kidding- me look. The woman let go of Ian, "Crystal, Kol. Your still alive. My babies," she ran to us and wrapped her arms around us. I hugged her tight not wanting to let go of her but I did. Dad starred at me and smiled but didn't let go of Derek. "Daddy?" I walked closer to him but mom stops me. "I wouldn't do that your father hates wolves," she explained basically saying that my dad was about to kill my mate. I looked at Derek and shake my head walking towards them again. "Crystal, don't." Derek manages to get out. I look into my father's eyes and place my hand over his. "Daddy-" I started but her threw Derek down and pulled me into a hug.
