Strange things always happen in the town of Beacon Hills, and life is hard for teenagers, with things like exams, classes, pesky teachers, drama and the occasional full moon, no one can really be prepared for anything.
That leads us to the main prot...
"He's in pain, still groaning and muttering about the lunar eclipse, but he's alive," Erica said back to me, "the nurses have him hooked up to some machines and so far he's been steady straight through the night,"
"Hmm," I answered, I stared off into the distance, my mind was blank and my body felt exhausted,
"Derek?" Erica asked softly,
"Hmm?" I answered back,
"How's Leo?" She asked me, my hand clenched my phone tighter and I breathe hitched for a moment,
"Cora said he hasn't woken up yet," I told her, I moved off and started to walk through the woods,
"Derek it's been two days," Erica explained into the phone and I sighed and nodded as if she could see me, "what the hell did he do exactly?"
"I don't know," I muttered into the line, I took a moment and looked around, my eyes caught the trees, the dew on the grass, the dark grey morning sky, and when I looked to the ground, my eyes finally saw the large, old, dried up stump, "Erica I have to go, stay with Boyd, keep the others updated and remember-"
"Don't tell anyone that I talked to you, I remembered, be safe Derek," Erica said softly cutting me off, then the line went dead,
I pocketed my phone and slowly made my way to the stump. It looked different to all those years ago, but the emotions and memories I have still felt the same. I knelt down and shifted my hand through the dirt, and I felt the wooden door that led me into so much darkness and pain.
To think that one stupid act all those years ago could lead me into being the man I was today, was infuriating and vexing, and no ones fault but mine. I thought that maybe coming back to Beacon Hills would allow me to atone for my pass mistakes and fix all the wrong things in my life, but...
First Scott getting the bite, then meeting Leo at the party, running around from the hunters, chasing Peter for answers, involving Stiles in this mess, to then killing Peter and turning Boyd, Erica, Isaac, even Jackson. Acting without care, attacking Lydia, letting all those people die because of Jackson, not being able to see what was right in front of me, letting Leo get hurt, again, pressuring Scott to join my pack, turning to Peter for help in the end, almost losing my pack, all of it was my fault.
"Because I can never be the man I always thought I would be," I muttered to myself as I rose and stared at the giant stump, I exhaled as the memories of her slowly came back to me, "I'm sorry for what I put you through, Paige, I-I, I never deserved you, I don't deserve anything..."
