What the hell?! - completed (unedited) -

Chapter 5

Emma's POV

After about an hour we're finished with the project so everybody leaves. After letting them out I stop at Derek's door. I shouldn't have invited them without telling him so I should probably apologise.

I knock on his door but he doesn't answer. "Derek?" I question knocking again. Again no reaction. I wonder if he's just being a jerk again or if he isn't in. Curiosity getting the best of me I open his door only to find him missing.

A bit happy that isn't ignoring me I head back to my room. I guess I'll have to tell him I'm sorry tomorrow. I look at the clock noticing it's actually quite late and decide to change into my PJ's and head to bed.

1 hour later

I wake up to loud noises coming from inside our studio. It sounds as if someone's breaking the place down. I get out of bed and open my door quietly. I see a form lying on the floor so I switch on the lights.

"Derek?" I call out to him as I make my way towards him noticing he's severely injured. "What the hell happened to you?" I ask worriedly looking at the arrows stuck in his skin along with the burns and cuts. I wrap an arm around him and drag him to my bathroom. I take off my shirt placing it on the worst injury.

"Hold it there." I instruct him before standing up and roaming in the cabinets. I leave the bathroom only to hurry back in with a bowl in my hands which I fill up with water. Once I have everything I need I kneel down in front of him.

As I dip bandages in the water I notice Derek staring at my burn now it's clearly visible because of me sitting here only in my tank top. I probably should have thought about that before. As I place a first bandage on one of the burns he roars in pain.

"It's okay. You're going to be okay. I know it hurts but it will get better." I tell him going with placing the wet fabric on his burns. "Here, place your hand here. It will give me easier access to your wounds."

I grab his hand and places it around my waist. It's a bit so I have better access but it's mostly because of the pain he's going to have to endure while I take care of his wounds. After placing the wet bandages on the burns I take a towel and rip it in pieces. Now the burns are cooling down a bit I can focus on getting the arrows out.

"I'm sorry this going to hurt a lot but I need to get those arrows out." I tell him looking him straight in the eyes. The eyes that have changed colour yet again. I admit I'm a bit freaked out by this but he's clearly in pain so I'll just have to man up.

As I pull out the first arrow I feel a sharp pain in my waist almost as if I've been stabbed. Derek groans in pain at the same time I let out a cry of pain as his nails - I realise by the fact I feel pain in five places close to each other - dig into my skin.

"What's wrong?" He asks me confused as to why I cried out. I can't have him move so I quickly come up with an excuse. "Nothing. Just cramps. They can really hurt sometimes." As I continue my work he occasionally groans in pain and in those moments I feel his nails dig in deeper making me cry or whimper in pain.

"I'm going to change the bandages on the burns again before I take care of your other wounds." I tell him repeating my procès from earlier because of the severeness of the burns I can't just spray water on them.

After I put all the new bandages on his burns I focus on his wounds. I disinfect them and then place band-aides, bandages or gauze on top of them. Once I'm finished with those I go back to his burns one last time.

I apply a cream on the burns that I know will sting at first so I'm not surprised when I feel his nails digging further in my skin. However expecting it doesn't stop the cry of pain coming out of my mouth.
