In The Dark

Witch

                   Derek's POV
      "What do you mean witches?" I ask my mom. This doesn't surprise me all that much. I'm more into finding out how she knows this. "She's like us, but bitten. She's Stiles's twin."
   "No, she's not. Her mother, Julia, was a witch and was very close to your father and I. Like I said, this town was going through hell and we needed someone with more power. When she found out she was pregnant with, who I how know is Aiden, she knew she couldn't give her a good life. Robert was upset with his wife's choice since she didn't discuss it with him. Now she's here, not knowing what she's capable of."
     I look up the stairs, complicating if I should run up and tell Aiden. My hand clenches and unclenches. "Wouldn't she know?" My mom shrugs, tucking her hands in her pockets.
    "Has anything ever happened that has made anyone or her wonder?" I think back to the day she did something that saved me.
   "I got hurt and she was able to save me somehow. She said words just came to her and the next thing she knew I was perfectly fine again." Aiden runs down the stairs, nearly falling. My eyes widen in shock.
    "Stiles!" She yells, opening the screen door. My mother and I follow her. Stiles looks at her in shock and Scott runs over to me. "Is there a reason for a crowd?" Aiden snaps, looking at me. Scott pushes me and my mom back inside but only closes the screen so we can hear. "How dare you-"
     "I didn't know until she mentioned it to Lydia!" He says, putting his hands up in defense.
    "So now you have a big scary guy wanting to kill you? At least this is normal," she says. "How didn't you know she had a boyfriend. Everyone knows about them." She slaps his arm.
    "I dony hang around her for obvious reasons, so I wouldn't know. I'm a loser, Aiden. Imagine if you were in my place and Derek walks up to up, touching you. What would you do?" She stares blankly at him.
   "I don't think you want that answer." He cringes and pulls at his sleeves. "Don't get killed. I'm going back to sleep." He gives a thumbs up.
   "Yeah and never flash your eyes at me aga-okay then. Love you." She pushes past me and goes to Scott, grabbing him by the collar and pinning him to the wall. My mom laughs a little at the scene.
    "What did I-"
    "Don't act innocent. You were with him that night, how could you not pull him away when you seen them-"
    "I-I was with Liam. I promise," he stutters. She fixes his hair and steps back.
      "If he dies, I'm blaming you." She gives me a small smile before walking towards the stairs. Pulling out my keys, I hand them to my mom.
   "You can go. I'm gonna stay with her," I say, going up the stairs. She looks up at me when I close the door. She places her sheets in the hamper, changing them. I cock a brow.
    "Let's just say your lucky you're not a girl," she says, finishing the sheets. "Throw me the water," she says. I had it to her, sitting next to her. She takes a pill and rests her head on my lap, not caring about the hard impact.
    "Do you need me to get you anything? Food, pads?" She looks at me with a smile.
    "That's very sweet, but the one thing I want, I can't have right now." I lean down and kiss her. She sits up slowly, not breaking the kiss.
     "I need to tell you something." Her happy expression falls. "My mom told me something that clarifies one of hour suspicions."
    "Please tell me. I'm literally dying to know." Sarcasm must run the Stilinski family.
    "You were adopted. My Mon knew your birth parents. Your mom was a witch," I rush out. She stands up, looking blankly at the floor. "Your mom gave you up because of how terrible things were. I'm sorry."' Her eyes eyes to mine.
    "So I've been lied to my life?" I reach out for her hand that she surprisingly let's me take and pull her to my chest. "Stiles isn't my brother."
    "He still is. Just not biologically."
    ××××××
       "I can't do this," Aiden says, pulling her hair back. "Maybe you mistaken me for another girl." My mom shakes her head, handing her a old looking book.
    "I'm positive its you. Do something in that book." I look back at Aiden who looks at Peter with a kill me look. She opens the book setting it on the table. She closes her eyes, repeating words under her breath. Peter and I look around, waiting for something to happen.
     She takes a deep breath, turning back towards us. "Your parents lied to you about everything for seventeen years," my mom says, walking closer to Aiden who's shoulders slump.
    "Mom-"
    "Stiles isn't your brother. Your best friend died. Your mom doesn't like you."
    "Stop it," Aiden says through clenched teeth, her eyes flashing. Peter and I look at each other.
   "Derek's gonna die. No one loves you. Did I hit all those insecurities? Good. Get angry. You don't deserve anything you have. You can't ever do anything right-"
     Aiden starts repeating the words over and over again, each time getting louder. Intense pain shoots from my side, causing me to drop to my knees. I yell out, tears slipping from my eyes. Abruptly, the pain stops. Aiden falls to the ground, taking deep breaths.
     "Hold onto that anger, you got a lot of it. It'll help you."
    ××××××
      I walk up behind Aiden, I turn her around. She forces a smile up at me. "What spell was that?" I ask. She steps back, looking at me with a wary eyes. "You can tell me. Do you secretly want me in pai-"
    "It was a spell that shows how it feels when a mate dies. I didn't know it was-"
    "Its okay. I'm sorry," I say. She sits down, looking blankly in front of her.
    "I'm going to feel that," she whispers. I pull her into my lap once sat down next to her. She rests her forehead against mine, closing her eyes. I kiss the tip of her nose, making her smile a little. I pull back, cupping her face in my hands and kissing her sweetly, trying to show her how much I truly love her.
    She runs her fingers through my hair, kissing me back. "I love you," she says, eyes still closed.
    "I love you."

AN: Okay, so I've been asked this before and just thought I'd clear it up now. Personally, I hate it when people say "I love you too." It sounds like they're just agreeing and idk I don't like it. Not sure if this was a shirt chapter or not. Comment and share! Stay alive |- /                -Veah
