Derek and I start walking to a railroad car in the abandoned railroad depot with Scott close behind us.
"I'm saying we need a new plan, because next time, one of us is gonna be too hurt to heal," Derek says, He sits down and I decide to sit next to him.
"Ugh, I get it. We can't save Jackson." Scott says
"We can't seem to kill him either," I say
"I've seen a lot of things, Scott. I've never seen anything like this. Every new moon's just gonna make him stronger." Derek says, I sigh, both he and I have seen a lot of things in our lives.
"But how do we stop him?" Scott asks
Derek shrugs "I don't know. I don't even know if we can." I look down and shift my body, knowing he's right.
"Maybe we should just let the Argents handle it," Scott suggests
"I'm the one who turned him. It's my fault." Derek replies
"No, it's not Derek," I say as I rub my hand over his back "you didn't turn him into this."
"This happened because of something in his past, right?" Scott asks
"That's a legend in a book. It's not that simple." Derek replies looking at him, I look at him then look down thinking.
"What do you mean? What are you not telling me?"
"Why do you think I'm always keeping something from you?"
"Because you always are keeping something from me!"
"Well, maybe I do it to protect you."
"Doesn't being part of your pack mean no more secrets?"
"Go home, Scott. Sleep. Heal. Make sure your friends are safe. 'Cause the full moon's coming. And with the way things are going, I've got a feeling it's gonna be a rough one."
............................................................
The next morning I wake beside Derek. I smile at him as he returns it and kisses me softly.
