When We Were Young : Part 3

Chapter 14

Derek, Cora and I were sitting in the loft eating some pizza. After everything that went down at the distillery we all realized that we haven't had a proper meal, or sleep in the past three days. The twins are alive, but they aren't alpha's anymore, when Jennifer snapped their necks she destroyed their alpha, but not their beta forms. Confusing I know. Speaking of Jennifer, when we went back after saving Stiles and the parents from the collapsed root cellar, Jennifer was gone. Which means she somehow survived her throat being slit by Deucalion and is now somewhere out there. Derek and I searched for a good three hours but she's gone, let us hope she stays gone. 

"So I've been wanting to tell you guys something and I honestly don't know how you are going to take it" Cora said

"Are you pregnant?" I asked her, my mouth full of pizza. 

"What! No!" Cora said. 

"Did you kill someone?" Derek asked her. 

"No I didn't kill anyone" She said bluntly. 

"Well then what could be so bad?" I asked her. 

"Look, when I escaped the hunters who caught me after the fire, I spent the last five year in South America, I joined a pack and I miss them, they miss me too. I want to go back. I wanna get the hell out of Beacon Hills." Cora said. I honestly had mixed emotions. I was good to have Cora back and I hate to see her go. I feel like we haven't properly hung out since she got here seeing as half the time she was dying. Or somebody else was dying.

"Oh" I said.

"I want you guys to meet them, maybe stay for a little bit. You guys need a vacation" Cora said. I turned to Derek who was sitting next to me on the couch.

"We could use a vacation" I said. He seemed to be thinking over it.

"Yeah we kinda need one" He said. 

"I'll have to figure out things with the station, but I have vacation hours so they should let me go" I said.

"So you guys are fine with me staying there?" Cora asked. 

"I would actually prefer you be as far away from Beacon Hills as you can get" I said looking at Derek who's been pretty silent. I know he doesn't want to say goodbye to his sister after he had just got her back. 

"I'll go pack our bags" He said silently and got up.

"I'll head out to the station, see how things are holding up, I'll see you guys later" I said and walked out the door to my car.

"Dear God" I said as I walked into the station. The place was trashed and on my desk was two resignation letters which means the only deputies here are Haigh and I. 

"Nice to have you finally show up" Agent McCall said. 

"I found the parents" I said trying to justify why I'm a terrible Sheriff. I let out a sigh "I warned you" Sheriff Stilinski came walking out of his office and I couldn't control my feet from running after him and giving him a hug. 

"Good to have you back Sheriff" I said whilst still hugging him. 

"I see you held down the fort" He said with sarcasm. 

"I tried" I said and walked back to my desk. I'm going to need to find more deputies before I even suggest vacation.

After a couple hours of making calls and going through applications I managed to muster up ten deputies who are willing to work. Hopefully they can stay alive. I don't need ten more deaths on my conscious. I was getting ready to bring the applications to Stilinski until the phone rang.
