Fox and the wolf

Chapter 3

Derek's POV

Stiles took off ahead of me. I ran after him but I was too slow. After a few minutes of falling farther and farther behind he disappeared from sight. I kept running in that direction pushing myself as fast as I can. "Stiles!" I yell after ten minutes as I slow down.

I try catching his scent but he must have known I would use my sense of smell because he had been extra careful about leaving a trace. The only place I could get a positive match for his scent is on a tree right next to me. I walk around the tree smelling. But I realized where he was too late.

"Derek!" I heard a boy's voice, I've never heard before, say from above me. I look just in time to see a boy land on my back shocking me into transform back into a human and we rolled until I was on my back and he was laying on top of me.

The boy had brown hair and bright brown eyes. I know that's kinda opposites but his eyes are actually like that. You could see the happy, childish, innocence in his eyes. "Who are you!" I yelled at him. He looked shocked and scared for a moment.

"Its me....Stiles.... Are you mad at me?" He climbed off of me "I knew I shouldn't have changed! I'm sorry, don't be mad! I'll change back!". Then I get up and grab him.

Stiles POV

"Stiles!" He yelled. Then he lowers his voice, "Is that really you?" He ask me.

"Y-y-yea" I said quietly looking down.

I don't know why I changed I thought he would would be okay with it. I thought I could trust him. I should change back. I should never again be in this form. It's obvious no one likes it.

I just.. I don't know what I want. I wanted him to see me...I wanted someone to talk to again. I wanted to be let free..be human again I guess. I shouldn't of done this.

"You're human! You changed!" Derek said.

"I can change back. I'm sorry" I said.

"No! Uhhh I'm actually happy you changed. Uhhh I just can't believe you actually changed for me. I mean you always refused to change for anyone."

"So you're not mad at me?"

"No! I'm happy that you changed. Why would I be mad at you, Stiles?"

"Really!?!?!" I ran up to him and jumped up in his arms and hugged him tightly wrapping my legs around him. I quickly pecked him lips. As soon as I did that I jumped off up him and stepping back quickly. "Umm sorry"

Derek was about say something when we heard Laura running toward us.

"Derek! Stiles! Where are you! There you are Derek. We need to.....Wait who's that..Wait, Stiles?" Laura sounded worried and confused.

"Yes Laura, that's Stiles. Now what's going on" Derek said.

"We have to go! Quickly! There is smoke coming from where the house is. We have to go, Now!" Laura said scared.

We all started running to the house quickly. I hope it's nothing serious and just a tiny fire. I hope everyone made it out. Maybe this happened because I changed. I knew I shouldn't of. This was a huge mistake.

Derek's POV

Please don't be our house on fire. What are we gonna do. Please everyone get out alright. Is my mom okay? Or my uncle? What was that kiss from Stiles... Wait... That thought almost made me stop in the middle of running.

At a time like this, I think of that of all things... Well I didn't really get the chance to before though, did I?

Did I like it, even if it was only a quick peck? Yeah, it still made my stomach churn. I realized stiles always had that effect on me though. Ever since I first seen him as a fox pup in that tall grass. At first I just thought I was just intrigued because I never seen one before. But as we grew older and closer I thought I just felt protective of him because he was small and weak. And yet I remember feeling, deep down, really happy that he would answer no one but me because that meant I was special and meant something to him. Then he changed to human form! Just for me! I was so happy he trusted me enough to change in front of me. And his human form I think may just be cuter than when I first saw him.

We finally get to the house which took me out of my thoughts of Stiles. The house was basically a big ball of fire. A lot of them was screaming from burning to death. The house was crumbling. I look at Laura and see her eyes flash red. No..mother is gone. Laura's the alpha. That means Peter is gone to. It's just me and Laura now. Fire trucks start to come and the start putting the fire out a few go in to try and get people out but it's too late. Laura, Stiles and I stay back so we aren't seen. We hear one guy yell this one's still breathing. I wonder who it is. The body is burnt so bad you can't even tell if it's male or female. Once the fire is out all that you can smell is burnt flesh. I should of been there to help get them out. I should have been here to stop this from happening. But I wasn't. I wasn't here to help them. I wasn't here to stop it. I was out with Stiles playing tag. I'm 18 why did I agree to play tag? I could have been here if it wasn't for........ Stiles!
