Sterek ~ A Second Chance (Sequel to Last Breath) [COMPLETED]

3~Powerful

"You wanna find what?" Scott exclaimed bewildered

"The Nemeton, please Scott its the only way to wake up my mum, and maybe it could help Stiles too, please" Derek begged, Scott looked around then back at Derek

"Okay, I'll help you"

"Thank y-"

"But you should say goodbye to Stiles, there's no telling if he'll-"

"He's gonna make it, I know he is" Derek told Scott, then thought about it for a second and entered the hospital room, he closed the door gently behind him as he got closer and closer to the bed "Hi" he whispered as he took Stiles' hand in his, and exactly like earlier black traveled up Derek's veins making him drop Stiles' hand

"You're hurting" Derek said, his voice barely above a whisper, as he came to this realisation he took the boys hand into his instantly trying to rid of as much pain as he could "I'm so sorry, this is all my fault" he gently moved a piece of Stiles' hair to the side and kept his hand there "You gotta wake up, I can't do this without you" Derek lay his forehead against Stiles' desperate for the boy to wake "You gotta come back to me"

"Derek what the hell are you doing?!" Jacob exclaimed as Derek barged into the house

"We gotta go somewhere" was all Derek said

"Derek it's 5am, can't this wait?"

"No" Derek said as he made his way upstairs, Jacob grabbed Derek's arm pulling him around

"They have been put through hell, and they are scared out of their minds that they couldn't sleep, now there is no chance I am letting you go in there to make them feel like something else is happening" Jacob spat, but also a hint of worry in his voice

"Jacob you were gone, I have been looking after them for a long time, and I'm the only father they have ever had okay, and ever since mum went into a coma I had to play the roll of dad, mum and big brother, so don't tell me how to take care of those kids" Derek exclaimed yanking his arm from Jacob as he made his way to his room

He opened the door quietly to see Thomas and Cora both lying in Derek's bed sound asleep, along with Luca who was laying in the arms of his siblings.

"Derek look at them, they've been laying there since we've come home, they've been waiting for you" Jacob said coming to stand beside Derek "Can't this wait until the morning" Derek looked at his older brother then at his siblings

"Derek" a weak and sleepy voice called

"Hi sweety, I'm right here okay" Derek said walking over to the bed

"I was scared you wouldn't come home" Cora said

"Hey I would never leave you three alone" he said as he lay down beside her as she cuddled up to her big brother "I love you so much"

"Derek where are you taking us?" Thomas groaned, he'd dragged all four of his siblings out of the house, and currently it was 11:50 and they were walking through the woods

"Deucalion said that Michael took our powers away when we we're born, so the only way to get them back is to go to the beacon" Derek explained as he tried to remember where the tree trunk was

"And you think a tree is gonna give us back our wolfieness" Jacob stated more than asked

"It's not just any tree, it's called a Nemeton, it's a thousand years old, and it's what's drew all supernatural beings to Beacon Hills, it has the ability to restore power, so if you want mum to wake up then you'll trust me" Derek explained all without stopping "I know who I'm saving"

"Derek?" Cora asked as Derek stoped dead in his tracks "Are you okay?" Derek looked to the side as he got that same feeling he got the first time he was around here

"Do you feel that?" Derek asked

"Feel what?"

"It's like some sort of energy rushing through me"

"I don't feel a thing" Thomas stated looking at his brother like he was a crazy person

"Trust me" Derek said as he walked around some trees revealing the huge tree trunk in the middle of the clearing

He cautiously walked closer towards the Nemeton, it's like the closer he got the more energy he felt was being thrown at him. He slowly reached his hand down, his hand came in contact with the wood and it was like a a roller coaster as images played through his mind, memories that weren't even his.

He saw a younger Scott crashing into the trunk, a big white light as Stiles came into the picture, then Allison came running into the clearing, they were all walking around the Nemeton individually, and for some reason all drenched from head to toe in water.

Derek heard shouting from behind him, so he turned around to see there was a door just in the middle of the woods, nothing holding it up, and nothing behind or around it. He reached his hand to the handle and it creaked as he opened it, he entered what looked to be an endless white room. He looked ahead to see two figures standing staring at two others who sat on a trunk.

"Stiles is part of your pack" he was a long way from them that he could barely seem them, but for some reason he could hear them clear as day as they said Stiles' name "So how do wolves signal their location to the rest of the pack"

"They howl" suddenly a gush of wind sent him flying backwards, making him land on his back in the dirt

"Derek!!" his brother kneeled down beside him

"What happened?" Derek groaned as he sat up

"You tell me, one minute you were all fine, and next you fainted and you're eyes went white" Jacob said

"I...I don't know...I just...I feel-"

"Feel what Derek?" Jacob asked as all Derek was doing was stuttering

"Powerful"
