Almost Home [sequel to Bumper Cars- d.h]

Chapter 8

Cadence POV

I have had an eerie feeling for the past day and I know what it is. my guardians told me it was coming and I think this is their way of telling me. But how do I do it? How will I go on with him dead? Can I stop it? I was taken out of my thoughts by Derek. We are looking at a table full of guns.

"I still don't like relying on these things." Derek says, bending over the table.

"I get it, babe. You miss your power. But you don't need it to be you. You are my mate with or without them." I tell him.

"It's not about the power, C. It's about me not being able to help. I don't like feeling helpless."

"Remember before I was a wolf and I used all these weapons?" He nodded. "Was I helpless then?" i asked.

"You were and still are a much better shot than me." He says and gives me a side smile. My heart drops.

"Do you really think you won't be coming back?" I ask him, having a feeling he knows that he's going to die too.

"Not alive." He answers.

"You know I'm not okay with that." I tell him while sitting a gun back down. He stands straight back up and just looks at me. He then comes closer and kisses me. It was so pure and filled with love. After the kiss, my eyes are still closed when he leans his forehead to mine.

"I am." He says. I quickly open my eyes and search his, tears welling up in my eyes. "If it saves Scott and Kira." I looked down.

"And what about me?" I ask quietly. He pulls me into a hug.

"You are everything to me. If I die and it saves you, or anyone we both love and care about, I will do it. And I know you'd do the same." He tells me.

"I love you, Derek." I tell him.

"I love you too, Cadence. Always." He responds. We let go after a little while longer.

"To be honest. I don't think this is enough fire power to take down one Berserker." He says.

"Not even close." Peter say, descending down the stairs. "Killing a Beserker is next to impossible. Not just the fire power, but breaking down the animals spirit."

"Well the only person that has that much power is Argent, but he is too out of commission to ask him to help us right now." Derek says.

"Well then, we are going to need help. Like Malia, maybe Liam, definitely me." He answers back.

....

We all soon meet up at a warehouse when Braeden drives up in a prison transport van.

"How did you get that?" Stiles asks her.

"I'm a U.S Marshall." She says bluntly.

"Yeah, I just thought that was a cover." Stiles said.

"We really bringing him?" Derek asks Stiles, talking about Liam.

"We really bringing him?" Stiles asks Derek, pointing to Peter.

"we are bringing everyone we can." Peter says, in a rude tone. "And considering Scott and Kira were taken a night before the full moon, we should probably get going." He finishes.

"What's that mean?" Malia asks.

"If Kate took Scott back to the same Temple that she took Derek, how do know she's not planning to do the same thing to him?" Peter asks.

"She wants to make him younger?" Liam asked, confused.

"Or take him back to when he wasn't a werewolf." Derek thinks loud.
