The Secret Hale| Derek Hales sister

Brooke's Pov

After walking for five minutes, the three of us approach my home. Derek and I are still breathing heavily. I have so many questions to ask Scott, but I haven't been able to catch my breath to speak. I'm too weak.

"Hold on, hang on" Derek stops, placing his hand on my shoulder for support. We're a few yards away from the front porch.

Derek looks around, "Something doesn't feel right"

"What do you mean?" Scott gets nervous.

"I don't know, it's kinda like it was--"

"Don't say too easy! People say too easy and bad things happen" Scott interrupts Derek.

Derek rolls his eyes. But he's right, that was way too easy.

"Do you think finding you was easy? Getting away from Allisons dad? None of this has been easy!" Scott shouts at Derek.

"Fine. You're right" Derek gives in.

"Thank you" Scott mutters.

Directly after he said that, an arrow is launched into my left shoulder. I cry out in pain and fall to the ground.

I look up to Derek and Scott, who are both staring at me with wide eyes. As I go to stand up, another arrow is shot into my leg. I yelp and go back down.

"Scott, your eyes!" I hear Derek yell. I close mine as well, and I hear the flash arrow explode onto the tree.

Derek grabs underneath my armpits and drags me behind the tree.

"This is going to hurt" He explains, then proceeds to rip the arrow from my shoulder. I scream.

He doesn't hesitate to pull the second one from my leg. The pain is excruciating, but I know it will heal soon.

"Come on!" Derek throws my arm across his shoulders and helps me hobble to our house. Scott is a few feet behind us.

The three of us stumble to the house, dazed and injured. Just before we reach the front porch, we all fall down. Scott and Derek are still blinded from the flashing arrow.

"Allison, I can explain" Scott mumbles, crawling backwards.

"Stop lying. For once, stop lying." Allison marches up to Scott.

Allisons the one that shot me. That was unexpected.

"I was going to tell you the truth at the formal. I was going to tell you everything" Scott tries.

I tense my jaw at the mention of the formal, where I should have been. The thought of that makes me think of Stiles. Where is he?

"Everything that I said, everything that I did--"

"Was to protect me." Allison finishes his sentence.

I look over to Derek, who is also watching the two "lovers" talk.

"Yes" Scott nods

Allison hesitates, "I don't believe you."

"Oh thank god!" Kate interrupts.

"Now shoot him before I have to shoot myself"

"You-- you said we were just gonna catch them." Allison furrows her brows.

"And we did. Now, we're going to kill them" Kate proceeds to shoot Derek in the arm with a gun.

"No!" I scream, watching Derek fall to the ground.

I crawl over to him as quickly as I can, which isn't very fast, and place his head in my lap. He is cringing in pain.

"You've gotta get out of here" Derek mumbles to me.
