Alexa's Funeral and Zaira's Pledge

Hey guys! :) Here's the next chapter! :) I hope you guys like it! :)

_________________________________________________________________________________

It's been 2 days since I saw Alexa, but that's because it took her parents 2 days to get here and now I was sitting in the funeral home with her parents as people came by telling us how sorry they were. I didn't believe most of them, but I didn't let it show.

Most of the school came by, but I was most shocked when I saw Jackson and Lydia come in.

They hugged me, but it was awkward. They told me that they were sorry, and went on to hug Alexa's parents.

"Hey Zaira." Allison said as I turned around to see her, Mr. Argent, Mrs. Argent, and the last person I wanted to see, Kate.

"Hey Allie, Mr. and Mrs. Argent." I replied as I greeted them.

"Oh! This is my aunt Kate. Aunt Kate, this is my friend Zaira." Allison said as she introduced us.

"Hi." we said at the same time.

"Zaira, how are you?" Scott asked as he and Stiles walked up to us.

"I'm doing ok." I replied as I hugged them both.

"Derek wants to see you later." Scott whispered in my ear, and that made me blush slightly because Derek isn't the type of person to show that he cares, unless it's family or a mate.

The day dragged on and on and I was kind of glad to go home. I kept thinking about what happened to Alexa that I didn't notice that someone had followed me inside.

"How are you?" Derek asked as I jumped 20 ft. in the air.

"Scared out of my mind thanks to you, but other than that, I'm ok." I replied as I heard Derek snort.

We stood there for I don't know how long till I decided to head up to my room and change into my pajamas. Derek followed me, but stopped when I passed Alexa's door.

"She was killed just like Laura." I said as I turned to look at him.

Derek was about to say something, but I cut him off.

"No, the Alpha didn't do it. I have an idea of who did it, but I don't have proof." I said as I continued to my room.

Derek just followed and stayed quiet, but I was glad that he was here because I didn't really want to be alone. I know, I know, I probably sound pretty desperate, but come on, my best friend was slaughtered and the killer, or in my head, killers, could come back and kill me. I didn't want to be home alone if they came back.

"Make yourself at home. I'm going to shower and change." I told Derek as I grabbed my clothes and headed into my bathroom.
