Kitsuné (Derek Hale Love Story)#4

Marked

"Savannah?" The voice was mumbled, couple faces were around me, "Savannah?" The again sounded clearer, they touch my arm, ice cold. "McCall!" my eyes bust open, I wake up in the middle of Goverment class. "Hopefully you had a very soothing nap for the last 1 hr, Can you please sit up?" I stretch in my seat feeling all my muscles expand and a few bones pop.

The bell rang for our final class, the team was sent outside for a quick run into the woods, but I was too dizzy to even wake normally. I'm leaning on the sink with my head down, the water's running, my eyes wont open, my fingers are losing touch. "Hey Savannah?" A hand reached for my left shoulder, I pick up my head and see Emma from the mirror. "Heey.." I gave her a weak smile, she walks beside me. "You okay? You look horrible..what did you do last night?" I up my elbows down to the sink, cupped my hands to splash some water on my face.

"What's that?" Emma reached behind me ear, "Did you get another tattoo?" I looked at emma with no expression, "Ruiz! Leave McCall alone, she'll come out when shes ready." Emma looks back at me again then leaves. I look back to where she's waking waiting for her to close the door, when she hesitates to leaves but does eventually.

I look back at the mirror, turning my head to the side revealing my ear. I grab my ear foward, and see a mark. A dark gray scripture was written or burned into my skin, an upside down 5.

The final bell rang and I had gotten out early of school to head to Deatons office. I parked in front of the door not letting anyone in the clinic, I grab the handle and yank open but the door was locked, 'Closed' "Great." I get back in my car and drive to the one person I must regret going to.

"Well I didn't realize you would come for my help at this point in time Savannah?" He sits in a dark leather chair facing the fireplace, a small coffee table stands beside him. A cup of whiskey with no ice is grabbed, his right hand has a ring with the ingravings, 'DAC'.

"You were my last resort, my boss wasn't at work to help me." He turns around, wearing paris of jeans and a blue t-shirt, "Nice to see someone come to me for advice. Sit down, what do you want to drink, Whiskey, Red Wine, White Wine." I sit across from his chair, "No thanks, What do you know about an upside down 5...Duecalion."

"The upside down 5 is the mark of the Nogitsune, it shows the difference of a dark soul to a normal one..It give it a reason to possesses you." We had been talking for 40 mins, "It?" Duecalion took another sip of whiskey, "I've never personally seen it, but it powerfull, it controls the weakest soul, the one who has suffered alot during it lifetime." I stared at the fire, "What happends when it posseses someone?" He sits on the edge of his chair, "That my dear, I don't know."

"Savannah, Stiles is getting an MRI, Ican't be their and he really needs someone there, Can you go?" -Scott. I said goodbye to Duecalion and headed out the door, "Savannah? Just know what you're getting yourself into..Be safe." Duecalion was the last thing I saw before the elevator doors closed.

The Hospital wasn't as busy as most days, "Hey Shelby, Where's Stiles?" She points to his dad having and argument with Agent McCall, "I saved your boys life! The least you can do is give me gratitude!" McCall's voice vibrated throught the walls, "I could have saved my son, but you were to busy trying to be the hero so your kids can accept you for leaving them?!" Sherriff Stilinski sees me watching, "He's waiting in the scanning room, savannah." I walk right pass McCall not giving him eye contact.

The MRI was a big white room, with glass windows seperating the computers and the MRI machine. Stiles sits on the metal bed with a hospital robe around him. "Hey.." He gives me a slight smile when he sees me, "I don't know if I'm miss Spelling your name or misprenouncing it, The Magnetic Resonance Imaging device will be very loud as it takes pictures of your brain, the noice is from the electrical pulses throught metal coils that will sorround you inside, Be as still as you can Stiles."

I leave him in the room alone, watching from the rectangular window on the door. The scanning didn't take much, Stiles was released from the metal bed. "Their looking for something called Frontotemporal Dementia...It's the same thing that killed my mother." I look at Stiles, not knowing what to say, "It shrinks parts of your brain until theres nothing left.." I stand infront of him, "Stiles, I'm going to do something, I promise." Stiles grabs me into a tight hug, a can feel him trembling, he's scared. "Stiles were going to do more test alright?" We let go, "I'll be outside." Stiles and the doctors repeated the same precedure.

I walk down the hall into the waiting room, but stop by the vending machine for something to drink. When I walk down the hallway again I see Derek waiting for me. "Where'a Cora?" He looks up at me, and when I sit down, "I took her back to South Africa where she lived after the fire." I put down the soda, "While I was there I tried to contact my mother." My eyes widened, "What did she say?" He starts to pay with his fingers, "She said that my family didn't just live in Beacon Hills, they protected it." I get closer to Derek, "You can do that, Protect the city that was once yours again?" He picks up his head, "Savannah..Beacon Hills needs someone like you to protect it."

A noise begins to interupt our conversation, Scott runs down the hallway, meeting us half way. "Stiles has been struggling with himself, this whole time, trying to protect us. He's struggling to not do something." The 3 of us head up to the roof, a cable was cut from the electricity pole, I climed up the fenced cage guarding the power box, "I'll give you hand." Derek held out his hands and picked me up to grab a navy blue bag from the top. The power from the hospital goes out right after, The cable starts to fly all over the place, "Watch out!" Derek warns Scott be pushing him out of the way. The cable then comes towards me, Derek rushes infront and tackles me to the ground, "Ugh. You okay?" I'm wrapped up in his arms and his jacket, "Yeah..You?" I got up on my feet, "Just great."

"Scott?" But he was nowhere to be found, I run over to the edge of the roof, I feel Derek grab my hand, Scott had ran down to the first floor to make sure tha the cable didn't attack her but was too late.
