Crystal Banks ~Finished~ *Under HEAVY editing*

Chapter 29

"I can't do this anymore Crystal. We're not happy anymore." Derek says looking away from Crystal. "You mean you're not happy. Derek I wanted to be your bride, I wanted to marry you. But I'm not good enough. Not everyone can be a big bad werewolf." She said standing up. "I'm sorry Crystal it's not working, we haven't even had sex in 6 months." "I've been pregnant for the last 6 months. He looked at her, his mate, the girl he fell in love with. She put her hand on his face, "Derek I'm still the girl you fell in love with, I'm still your mate. I still love you." She says looking him in the eyes. "You lied to me." "I didn't tell you." "Why didn't you tell me?" "The more people that don't know the more that are safe." "You don't have to protect me."

She stepped away from him and nodded her head. "I get it, you can't love something like me. So I'll go." Crystal went to walk by him, but he stopped her. "Dylan, Cole, and Dakota. Their like you aren't they?" He asked glaring at her. "Y-yeah." "Take them with you." "Ok, we'll leave tomorrow. He let go of her.

~Crystal's P.O.V.~

I walked upstairs where my parents were. They gave me worried looks, "honey are you ok?" My mom asked handing me Dakota. "Yeah, I've decided that tomorrow I'm leaving to New York. Hi mommy's precious little girl." I say in a baby voice making Dakota laugh. "Tomorrow? Why so soon?" She asked frowning. "Mom the quicker I leave the less tears I cry." "Crystal we just got you back,"dad says looking down at me. "I know dad but I need to leave, figure this out on my own." They both nodded, "I'll go pack up the twins and Dylans things. You go say goodbye to your brother." I nodded and gave Dakota back to my mom.

I can do this. I can do this. I coached myself while I knocked on Kol's room door. His hazel eyes were red and puffy, and his hair was messy and out of place. I haven't seen Kol like this since we thought our parents 'died'. "You heard." I say my voice cracks. Nope I can't do this. "I never thought that a werewolf would be the one to separate us," his voice was rough and cracking. He opened his door wider so I could come in. "Kol I know but I was gonna leave anyways. You still have Anna."

I whispered in my Australian accent. Which I have used in a long time. He looked at me and closed his door, "I sent Anna away to keep her safe. She can't come back until it's safe." He says in his accent as well. "Why are you so scared of her not being safe. Kol you're supposed to keep her by your side. No matter what. She loves you." "I know she does and I love her. It's just- it's just that I don't feel like I can protect her by myself. She's human, I hate the thought of her getting hurt." He looked down and sat down on his bed. I frowned and sat next to him, "Kol you're hurting her now by not being with her. I know you, you can protect her you've protected me my whole life and I'm still here. And plus you thought her how to fight."

Kol looked at me and smiled then frowned, "fine I'll tell her to come back. By the way your hair is on fire." I smiled at him. "Ever since you And Derek got together you've changed. You don't use your abilities any more, you don't use your accent, and when you get mad or sad your hair doesn't catch on fire." He says grabbing my hand. "Crystal this symbol means that you are one of the most powerful Spring Heroes in the world. You can't keep hiding yourself." I shook my head as he continued, "you're special not weird. You have the power to maybe even changed the world. Show me that you've got it."

I nodded my head and concentrated hard. The fire from my hair ran down my and into my hand making a ball of fire. I laughed because the flames tickled. "Be careful I'm not fire proof." "Oh yeah sorry." I closed my hand making the fire disappear. Wow it felt good to be free. "Crystal I want you to figure this out on your own. Go to New York with the kids. I'm fine with. I knew you were going to leave some day." My eyes teared again and I hugged my brother. "I'll come back. I don't know when but I will I promise." He nodded his head. "Go say goodbye to the rest of the pack." I stood up and kissed his head before leaving his room.

Scott and Stiles tackled me in a hug making me fall to the ground. I laughed and hugged them back. "The pack won't be the same without you Crystal," Scott says tearing up. Stiles was already crying a little. I was really gonna miss my best guy friends. "Why can't Derek leave, he's an ass we'd be possibly better off without him." Stiles said looking sad. "Derek is the alpha of the pack. I was gonna leave sooner or later Stiles. Please just be good to Taylor. I'm so serious right now if you hurt her I will come back and kick your ass." He smiled and nodded his head.

Taylor ran towards me crying, "Crystal you can't go because of Derek Hale. He's a low life douche bag and I refuse to be in a pack without my best friend." She yelled so that Derek could hear. Her eyes flashed purple for a second but them change back to their regular brown. "Congrats on shifting by the way what are you?" I changed the subject. "Um, I'm not sure a tiger I think. But I'm not as huge and can shift like you." "Yeah only a few Spring Heroes can."

"I'm gonna miss having you and the kids around. It's gonna be different," she looked down and frowned at the thought.

~Taylor's P.O.V~

I shook my head, no I can't cry. I have to stay strong. "I'm gonna miss not having the pack around but I promise I'll be back." She says reassuringly. "When?" Isaac and Ian ask walking into the hallway. "I don't know." "Crystal we need you Derek needs you. You have no idea what he's like without you," Isaac pleads but Crystal shakes her head at him. "When I come back I'll be different stronger. I need to do this." Then her hair lit on fire. Scott smiled, "I haven't seen those flames in a while." "Doesn't that hurt?!?" Ian asked poking her arm. What the hell is wrong with him. "No, you can feel it if you want." Scott and Stiles smiled and started to play with her hair. She laughed and it turned bright pink. "Mommy I like your hair." Dylan says running to her and from the ass hole himself Derek.

He looks at Crystal and growls, "don't do that the house could catch fire or something." Her flames immediately died out. "Leave her alone Derek you've done enough," I say flashing my eyes at him. He walks in front of me and growled in my face, "this has nothing to do with you!" I slapped him with all I had making his stumble back a little. His cheek was red but it quickly healed. "You wanna do that again. Huh? I'll kill you." "Whoa whoa Derek you won't be killing anyone. Especially my sister." Ian said stepping in front of me. He back away and looked at Crystal, "when are you leaving?" He said with a small amount of emotion. We all knew he didn't want her to leave or call of their wedding. "As so as possible." She said pushing past him and going up stairs to her floor.

I waited until everyone went downstairs to walk up to Crystal's floor. "Troy you don't have to do that... yes of course I'm coming back... maybe he'll understand me better when I do come back... I don't know when...ha Tory no." She laughed as I walked into the room. She immediately stopped what she was doing and looked at me. "Troy I, uh gotta call you back." I saw fright flash in her eyes, "Derek if you came to tell me how much of a monster I am then you can just leave." It hurt knowing that she was heartbroken because of me. "I didn't. I just wanted to say goodbye." "You don't have to you've already said enough to me." She said grabbing her bags and pushing past me again, and leaving the room. She was leaving already. I went downstairs to the entrance room. Mostly everyone was crying and Crystal, Leo, Dylan, and the twins were leaving out the door. I sat on the stairs and whined lowly. I was gonna miss my mate.

~Crystal's P.O.V~

I laid my head against the car window, I was leaving. I was finally leaving Beacon Hills California.
