Up In Flames ▷ Derek Hale

Chapter Thirteen

The disbelief was evident on Clara's face. She was amused, confused and annoyed.

The father of her child had only moments ago told her that he was a werewolf, that her little brothers best friend was a werewolf and that the nice new girl at school was a part of a hunter family. A family that hunts and kills werewolves.

She didn't know whether to laugh in his face and tell him she knew or to just tell him to get out. Seeing him hours ago looking close to death's door had scared her more then she would ever admit and now he tells her it was all because of a hunter. All because of one of the nicest girls she had every had the pleasure of teaching at the school.

"Derek, I don't know what to say"

"Look I know it is a lot to take in"

"Its definitely something"

"Yeah"

"I mean I already knew so...."

It takes Derek several seconds to let the words sink in before he looks up at Clara with the biggest frown on his face someone that made Clara want to laugh. It made her think of Violet when she's having a tantrum

"I mean I didn't know you were a werewolf, not really, it was just a guess"

"A guess..."

"Yeah a guess"

Derek continues to look up at his old lover with disbelief on his face

"How could you guess that...?"

"Well you used to get so sick every month and it just happened to be on a full moon... like every time so it couldn't be a coincidence"

"So because of that you just guessed I was a werewolf... just like that?" If that was all it takes Derek was seriously considering jumping off a cliff, after years of being careful, sneaking around making sure no one knew the secret he was bested by being poorly on the full moon.

"Well I didn't jump to that straight away, it started as a joke. My boyfriend a werewolf, You're having a laugh!" she lets out a breathy laugh "But it happened every time, and with the animal attacks the fact that Laura and little Cora were ill the same time. It kind of just made sense to me"

Derek couldn't believe what he was hearing. The family secret that he kept hidden for so long was cracked within a second. He didn't know whether to be angry or amused... he was leaning to the first one.

"it was that easy"

Clara peaked at him through her slanted eyes, explaining that she already knew was easy but actually finding out the truth and figuring it out all by herself wasn't easy, especially for a fifteen-year-old girl who thought she was going mad.

Werewolves are not real. She would repeat to herself. she was being silly. It was just a silly little coincidence that he took ill on every full moon.

She couldn't tell her father, he wouldn't believe her and if she mentioned it to Stiles he would hunt down the truth he would become obsessive. Just like she had.

So no it wasn't easy to know the truth, and she didn't completely no if she had the truth, she just knew she had something.

"What about Violet?" She finally spoke up

"hmm?"

"She hasn't shown anything out of the ordinary, not that I've seen anyway"

"Its too early to tell" Calm, that's all he was repeating in his head. Clara truly looked scared at the thought of her child being a werewolf and that made him sick "it various, but she's too young to tell"

Clara nods and shoots Derek a small smile.

She had thoughts about Violet being a werewolf. Terrifying ones. She had seen the movies, had seen actors scream out in pain as there sink was ripped from there body and replaced with fur. She didn't want her precious baby to go through that. And she wouldn't not if she could help it.

Clara would do anything it takes to make sure Violet was okay. Anything

A/N: Okay don't judge me so hard! This chapter is so messy and I am really sorry for that but did you guys think that Clara already knew??
