Evelyn's P.O.V

"DEREK!"

Standing back in front of the Hale house, I instantly regretted agreeing to meet Scott here especially dressing in leggings and a cropped hoodie. It's freezing.

"You killed him" Scott growled charging through the front door "he died" Derek corrected from his hiding spot. I grabbed on to Scott's arm "just like your sister died" Scott continued, I bit my tongue at Scott's choice of words.

"My sister was missing" Derek growled, anger filling the atmosphere. I pulled Scott back put he gently pushed me away and headed up the stairs. What does a girl do in a situation like this? "Well I think you killed her" Scott taunted his eyes turning gold, I wrapped my arms around myself as I slowly stepped up the first step "I found her that way, she was used as bait to catch me" He sneered back. Just as Scott reached the top of the stair Derek appeared, his hand tight around Scott's throat as he threw him down the stairs.

Derek was quick to jump the rest of the steps kicking Scott, I sprung into actions and caught Derek's fist before he could land a punch on Scott's face "I don't think so" I growled out, sounding more animalistic then I ever thought was humanly possible. Then again, I'm not human anymore. I twisted Derek's arm behind his back and pushed him away from us.

"Stop fighting" I hissed as I bent down to help Scott up but Derek forced my body back into the wall "don't touch her" Scott shot up punching Derek into the wall, breaking the plaster wall. Derek jumped back up, his claws slicing through Scott's chest. I forced myself between the with my clawed hands out, stopping them "I said stop" I spat venomously.

"Evelyn get out of my way" Scott sneered stepping closer pushing against my hand "No, you don't want to do this" I snapped back, Scott stared at me in disbelief "he ruined our lives" he whispered. Suddenly Derek gripped the back of my hoodie pulling me out of the way "No, I didn't" he spat looking between Scott and I.

"Your the one who bit us" Scott breathed out as he leaned back for more support, his chest bleeding. Derek shook his head "No, I'm not" I walked over to Scott carefully checking his wounds "he had red eyes, yours are blue" I stated with my back to Derek "It's called an Alpha, its more animal and dangerous than all of us" I turned to look at him, searching his eyes for any lies "how do you stop it?" Scott asked, his wound starting to heal.

"I can stop it, but not without your help" Derek explained, Scott carefully placed his hand in mine. I met Derek's eyes and signed "why us?" I bit my lip anxiously, Derek glanced between Scott and me "he chose you both for a reason, it's you he wants"

The halls were empty as I placed my books inside my locker, I heard voices coming from the far end of the hall. I stopped and listened carefully "Where is Scott McCall?" why do I recognize that voice? Derek.

I took off towards the voices "why should I tell you?" Jackson replied clearly just being n ass for the sake of it "because I asked nicely and I only do that once. Now, where can I find Evelyn Martin or Scott McCall" I turned the corner to see Jackson pinned to the lockers by a very pale Derek.

"Hey" I shrieked pulling Derek away from Jackson "Derek what are you doing here?" I asked stepping closer to get a better look at him "you know this freak?" Jackson spat glancing between Derek and me "Jackson it's okay I've got this" I told him grabbing Derek's leather jacket pulling him towards me as I rushed towards the exit.

"What's wrong?" I asked when we got outside, I scanned the crowds looking for Scott. Derek stumbled and fell towards me, his hands landing on my waist. My heart hammered against my chest at his closeness, we stayed like that for a moment while he tried to catch his breath "Derek why are you bleeding?" I panicked catching his blood-covered hand "I was shot, Evelyn" he breathed out gently.

I wasted no time and grabbed his hands dragging him towards my car "Evelyn, I can't" Derek slipped from my grip pulling me down to the floor with him "what the hell?" Stiles screeched jumping out of his jeep which ironically we fell in front of, Scott was quick to rush over to us"Derek what are you doing here?" Scott whispered kneeling down to our level. Derek looked up slightly "I was shot" he coughed out, I placed my hand in his to try and comfort him.

"Why aren't you healing?" Scott asked looking down at the blood "it was a different type of bullet" Derek explained, shifting uncomfortably "a silver one?" Stiles blurted, I growled lowly at him without realizing it "clearly not you idiot" I snapped. I felt Derek's hand squeezed mine, Scott's eyes widened "that's what she meant when she said forty-eight hours" he mumbled in realization. "What? who said forty-eight hours?" Derek hissed trying to pull himself up "the woman who shot you" Scott helped me pull Derek up to his feet.

I jumped into the back seat of Stiles' jeep, Scott helped Derek into the passenger seat "you have to find the bullet" Derek told Scott sternly, he voice cracking with pain "how am I supposed to do that?" Scott exclaimed staring at us with wide eyes "she's an Argent. She's with them and if you don't get the bullet I'm dead" Derek hissed leaning back his seat. I felt my heart tighten. I don't want anyone to die.

"I'm starting to think that's not a bad thing" Scott mumbled back, before Derek could reply I lent over him "then maybe we should think about this, the alpha called you out to the bus and you could've hurt someone, next time you might actually kill someone and Derek is the only one who can help us" I spat angrily. Scott nodded his head slightly "Okay, keep your phone on" and with that he rushed back to his bike.

"Drive stiles" I demanded sitting back down in my seat, Stiles groaned loudly "I really hate you right now" he pulled out of the parking lot. I placed my hand on the back of Derek's neck and rubbed my thumb in circles "you're going to be okay" I whispered as I leaned forward, he lent his head back against my hand "you're going to be fine" I whispered again.
