When We Were Young : Part 3

Chapter 26

Two days. 48 hours since Stiles was last seen with nothing but a text to his dad telling people not to look for him. It's also been two days since Isaac was admitted to the hospital, they managed to get him breathing again but he's still in the ICU. Two days since I last slept. Derek and I have been out a majority of the last two days searching for Stiles. Everyone is now convinced that he is the one the nogitsune decided to possess. We need to find him before he hurts someone. He's already hurt people. He was the one to cut the wire that caused 10 innocent people to die at the hospital. What is the nogitsune planning on doing now?

"Where could he be hiding, how is he this hard to find?" I said angrily.  

"Give it time" Derek said. 

"I've given it time! Two days Derek, do you know how much can happen in two days? More people could be dead." I said. I took a deep breath and looked at Derek. "Sorry"

"Don't be you're right, this isn't something to be downplayed Stiles needs to be found, question is what are we going to do when we do find him?" Derek asked. 

"It depends on which Stiles, but we aren't killing him, no way. We save him" I said. 

"We save him" Derek agreed. He walked up to me and looked into my eyes. He traced his fingers below my eyes. "You should get some sleep" 

"I can't sleep" I said "Not with Stiles still out there"

"If we didn't find him today then tonight we won't find him either, get some sleep" He said. 

"You coming too?" I asked him. 

"Yeah" He said softly.

As we were laying in bed I was thinking about this whole situation. Derek and I have looked everywhere, if the evil spirit inside Stiles doesn't want to be found this it isn't going to be found. Maybe I could catch up at work, see if they have any new information. Comfort the sheriff. I didn't realize until now how stressed I've been, not to mention when I do get stressed I become a major bitch, and loose my hair, but my hair is fine now that I am a werewolf. I've also been a terrible girlfriend and I know it. No sex, not really even kisses have been shared between Derek and I. 

"I'm sorry" I whispered as I turned around to face Derek. He was blank faced staring at the ceiling. He slowly turned his head towards me. "For what?" He asked. 

"I've been a terrible girlfriend" I said "Just with everything that has been happening, I've been stressed" 

"It's understandable, I'm not mad" He said. Well he didn't deny it. 

"So you agree that I've been a terrible girlfriend?" I asked. 

"I'm not exactly winning any boyfriend of the year awards either Haley" He said. 

"Well maybe we should change that" I said. "When everything with Stiles is over which is hopefully soon, we should have date night"

"Date night?" He asked. 

"Yeah! You know do normal couple things" I said. 

"I guess I can handle normal couple things" He chuckled. 

"For now I guess this will have to do" I said. 

"What will have to do?" He asked but I already answered his question as I captured his mouth with mine and placed soft kissed down his jaw, his stomach, and well you know where else. Let's just say I'm not a terrible girlfriend anymore.

I woke up with a terrible noise ringing in my ears. 

"Ah!" I yelled as I jumped out of bed. I looked where Derek was and he was already standing over the thing making the noise and turned it off. It was one of Argent's emitters. "How the hell did he manage to sneak in and turn it on?"
