Trouble. (Requested Derek Hale Imagine)
Slowly regaining consciousness, your head was throbbing, and your wrists were burning. The area was pitch black, and all you could manage to feel was the cold, damp area you were sitting in.
“Derek…?” You called out, your voice merely a hoarse whisper, from lack of use.
"Your little guard dog isn’t here, sweetheart” A vaguely familiar voice echoed throughout the room.
"God I wish you’d stay dead.” You said bitterly, flashing your crimson eyes at the bloodthirsty, chaos driven Argent standing in front of you.
"Oh sweetie, you know what’s dead in this town, really doesn’t stay dead…..well, then again I’m hoping you will.” Kate said with a wink, leaning down slightly as she did. Your fangs extruded, and you clenched your jaw around her shoulder, causing a high pitched scream to emit from her, shortly followed by her reacting faster than you had expected, as she brought her elbow down onto your temple, causing you to collapse on the ground, slowly fading away once again on the cold, wet floor. •••
"Y/N hasn’t answered any of my texts or calls…something feels very wrong” Derek muttered to the pack, who gathered in the living room of his loft.
"She’s probably just home sleeping, like usual” Stiles, your younger brother, added. “Ever since we were kids, she’d constantly be sleeping.” He added, beginning to ramble on and on about his older sister.
"Enough!” Derek roared, the loft falling from lively chatter, to dead silence. “Something is wrong. I know it is. I have to check on her…if something really is wrong, I don’t know what I’ll do…”
"Derek…if something is wrong, you call me right away, and all of us will come find her. She’s a part of this pack, and we all love her to death.” Scott smiled, and looked back at the pack, who smiled reassuringly as well, earning a nod from Derek, as he walked out of the door, and down to his Camaro.
As Derek walked up to your house, he was taken aback to have smelt the all too familiar scent of Kate Argent. The woman whom him and his uncle had both killed, more than once.
"People in this town can not stay dead, can they…?” He muttered bitterly, just before running up to your door, and walking in. Everything seemed to be normal in the house, excluding the fact that you weren’t there…
Walking into your bedroom, Derek noticed an abnormal scent submerging from the room…“Fear” he whispered, as he felt the same feeling creeping inside of him. Walking over to the window, which was left ajar, he noticed some strange marks on the wood. Placing his own fingers on the 5 scratch marks, he began to panic…“she’s gone”, he thought, dreading the idea of it all.
"So she’s not home, her room reeked of fear, AND there was claw marks on the window?!” Stiles asked, growing increasingly anxious by the minute, as his sister was now pronounced missing…everyone began to realize that Derek was right. Y/N is in trouble, and they had to find her, before Kate could hurt her.
“Rise and Shine, darling.” Kate called out into the room, in which you still lay tied to a post. “Shall we begin the fun, now?” She smiled, the sound of her voice alone causing your blood to boil.
"Don’t you be flashing your eyes at anyone, dear. We all know who has the upper hand, here.” She said in a singsong voice, whilst twirling a blade in her hands, gracefully.
"You come near me with that, and I swear I’ll rip your throat out again” you said coldly.
"Hmm…we’ll just have to see about that, now won’t we.” Kate responded, walking closer to you. “And you know, you and that boyfriend of yours? You’re quite similar. The all-powerful alpha couple…it’s cute, really. I’m just wondering how long it’ll take for him to come running. If he makes it that far, anyway” She concluded, with a smirk.
"If you go anywhere near him, I swear-
"You swear you’ll what? Kill me?” Kate laughed, “Didn’t you already try that..? Not working out so well for you, now is it?”
"I’ll diminish you. Believe me when I tell you…if you even think about laying a finger on Derek? You’ll be dead before you hit the ground, bitch.” You growled in return.
"This way.” Derek yelled back to the pack, as he led them between a circle of trees. “She’s somewhere around here..” he said quietly, whilst smelling the air, catching onto his mate’s scent once more. “Her scent is much stronger here.” He said, walking to the center of the clearing.
"Do you think Kate is holding her captive under the surface like Jennifer did with the Nemeton?” Lydia asked.
"That could be…” Scott replied thoughtfully. “Worth a shot.” He concluded. “Derek? What do you think?” He asked.
"I think you’re right, Lydia…her scent is much stronger, closer to the ground. Let’s start digging around for an opening.” Derek ordered.
Finally reaching a door, Derek rips it off the hinges with ease. The door led to a dark, dusty hallway, which towards the end had an illuminated steel door with a large symbol carved into the metal.
"If she’s not in there, I’m going to be seriously confused” Stiles whispered. •••
"Well, it sounds like we have some visitors.” Kate smiled, picking up the silver blade and began twirling it once again, inching closer and closer to you every swing.
Lydia’s scream echoed throughout the hallway, and rattled the walls. The wolves winced at the volume, whilst Stiles ran over to Lydia.
"Lydia?! Lydia? What happened?!” He questioned, his eyes wide.
"She’s going to die…” Lydia managed, weakly.
Everyone was taken out of their state of shock by a loud banging noise originating from the end of the hallway. Derek was throwing himself at the large door, in attempt to open it. Scott and Isaac walked over to the door, and retaliated Derek’s actions.
"Get this damn door open” Derek yelled at the pack. “I will not lose the love of my life to some immoral, chaotic bitch.” Derek concluded, throwing himself even harder against the steel.
A horrible creaking sounded throughout the hall, as the door began to collapse underneath the werewolves’ strength. Once the door had fallen, Derek had launched himself inside, only to be thrown back, as he ran directly into a barrier.
"Mountain Ash.” He yelled in agony. “Stiles. Break it.” He yelled, his eyes fuming red.
Running forward, Stiles kneeled in front of the barrier, reaching forward to break it.
"I wouldn’t do that if I were you…” Kate said, stepping into the light of the doorway. “Because if you do..? She’s dead.” Kate smirked, pointing back to y/n who lay unconscious on the floor, with another hunter holding a wolfsbane covered knife at her heart.
"Stiles? Don’t do it.” Kate warned, as he began leaning forward again, intending to separate the ash. “She’s been poisoned already…and if that blade makes contact with her heart? Well I’m sure you can figure that one out-
"Allison! Now.” Derek yelled, and Allison, who was waiting at the other door, bent down and broke the barrier. Running over to Kate, she grabbed her and shoved her against the wall, placing a blade at her throat.
Scott threw the other hunter on the ground, and away from Y/N.
"Y/N? Y/N.” Derek asked, untying you from the post, and carrying you out of the room.
"Der..?” You asked weakly.
"I’m here. I’m here, don’t worry. You’re going to be fine” Derek responded, quickly moving to his car, to drive to Deaton’s clinic.
"Derek! We’ll all meet you there. We’ve got Kate. Go!” Scott yelled.
Reaching Deaton’s after a long drive, you were in pain. The wolfsbane had been traveling throughout your body, and it caused you a great deal of pain. Luckily, Deaton was able to help, alongside Derek, who kept taking away your pain whenever he could. Within a few hours, you were perfectly fine to return home.
"I missed you so much..” Derek mumbled into your shirt. His touch alone comforted you, and eased your thoughts from the previous days. “I missed you too, Der.” You smiled up, at him, staring into his gorgeous eyes. You get lost in his eyes easily…they’re so captivating, and easy to read. For you, at least.
"Alright lovebirds, what’s new?” Stiles asked, while walking into the living room.
"Nice of you to knock, Stiles..not like we were trying to have some alone time here…? But there’s some new shape shifters in town, so be on the lookout for that.” You said nonchalantly, before turning back to Derek, who flashed you one of his rare smiles.
"Ohhhkay then. Details later. Got it.” Stiles stated awkwardly, before turning and leaving the loft, allowing you and Derek to be alone again.
"Now where were we…?” You laughed, only to be silenced by Derek’s lips connecting with yours.
"I love you” he whispered, smiling down at you.
"I love you too, Derek.” You smiled back.
