Chapter 7

Cadence POV

I jolt up once I hear the scream of a banshee. But I'm not in my body. I'm a wolf. A pure white wolf. 

I howl. 

Soon enough, i hear footsteps running towards me. I look at the door and see Derek walk in. I can hear his thoughts.

'Where's Cadence? There's a wolf on my bed. Cadence.' His thoughts are jumbled. 

I whimper and bow my head. he comes closer and kneels on the ground, right beside me. I connect my head to his forehead. 

'Derek. It's me. Why am I a wolf?' I ask him.

"My mom. She was able to turn into an actual wolf. I don't know how. And I don't know why. But it's rare. Which is fitting because you're a prophecy. Show me your eyes." He tells me all at once.i bow my head then look back up. "They are both red now." He tells me.

'How do I change back?' I ask him.

"Just focus. Focus on being a human." He tells me. I hop off the bed and go to the corner of the room.

'I'm human.' I tell myself. I then remember what my real parents told me. Embrace. Before I know it, my bones start popping and i start getting taller. I'm finally back to my normal self

"Cadence." He breathes out. I turn back to fully face him and I can't help but smile.

"Derek." I say, excitedly. I run and jump in his arms and soon kiss him. Not too long after we start our reunion, I realize that I have no clothes on. I clear my throat.

"Dammit. you noticed. I was hoping you wouldn't." Derek said, joking around. Hopefully. But he soon let go. I breathe in some air but quickly curl my nose.

"Is that me?" I ask.

"I'm afraid so." Derek laughs. 

"Well, I need to shower. SO if you excuse me," I tell him and try to walk to our bathroom.

"Wait just a second." Derek said, and takes my arm to pull me back. He takes the side of my face and kisses me, very softly. "Now you can go." I smile at him and peck his lips one more time and sassy walk into the bathroom. "You're killing me and you enjoy it." Derek said, in a playful spite kind of way. 

I get in the shower and take the very much needed time to scrub, rinse, scrub again, and shave because my legs feel like a sweater. I take my time but get out. I hear two voices downstairs.  I get clothes on and soon go downstairs and see Derek and Scott talking. 

"Scott. Whatcha doing here?" I ask.

"Oh, Nothing Cadence, just asking Derek for a favor." He said. Until he realized who he was talking to. "Cadence, you're okay!" He said and engulfed me in a hug. 

"Hey, I am assuming I was missed just a bit?" I asked but it was rhetorical since I was laughing. "So what did I miss?" 

"Oh Nothing, just a dead pool and Derek lost his werewolf abilities." Scott said, like it was nothing.

"Okay we will get to the part about you later. What Dead pool?" I point to Derek, but ask both of them.

"Well, Peter apparently talks loudly in his comatose state. The other Banshee Meredith was also in a coma and she heard Peter's thoughts and apparently heard how he warned talia. and since all of this happened, he would kill all other supernaturals and he be the only one left so he could rebuild. So when the 117 million was stolen from the Hale vault, this was opportunity for it to start. But yesterday, we finally stopped the dead pool. So there's a plus." Scott explained. I was very speechless, but never the less nodded.
