Theme: Started out as angst, turned into kind of scary-sih, and then fluffly. idk, I didn’t have a great idea for this one, and I’m writing it after I just did a 10 page mid-term and I have no motivation lol. Hope you like it anyway.
Note: Not really Halloween themed but whatever, almost none of the one shots in this series are
You stomped through the forest, staring down at the path in front of you, trying to see a sign of the creature anywhere. It had been seen in the forest a day prior, and you needed to find it before it killed anyone else.
Derek walked behind you, listening for any distant movement, his eyes focused on you as you as you easily moved around trees and branches, even without having to raise your head up to look.
You hadn’t said a word to him since you left his loft, Scott paired you up to go together, as he usually did. He might not have though, if he had known of your situation. The fact that you had broken up just a couple days prior.
“You’re still mad at me” he finally spoke, his voice loud amongst the silent trees.
His voice almost startled you, you weren’t really expecting him to speak to you, seeing as he said enough when he ended your relationship. “Am I not allowed to be?” you asked, quieter than his own voice.
He sighed, shoving his hands into his jacket pockets “Of course you are” he paused “I just don’t want you to choose to never speak to me again”
You stopped, looking up a hill, your eyes catching on a piece of fabric hanging from a tree at the top “I guess I’m still thinking about it” you said bluntly as you walked up the hill, Derek spotting the fabric as well.
He sighed again as he followed you, trying to focus on the task at hand. He watched as you touched the fabric “Looks like the boys uniform” you said referring to the most recent boy’s death.
Derek walked past you, at least you were being civil, he was afraid you’d spend the entire time fighting, then again, not fighting might be worse. Maybe it meant you were over it, over him. Then again, wasn’t that what he wanted? He looked around, seeing a trail finally, crouching down he looked at it, before looking deeper into the forest and taking a deep breath, trying to find a scent of the creature.
“You wont smell anything” you commented walking past him “They don’t give off any scent, it’s one of the reasons they are so hard to hunt”
He squinted at you as he stood up “How do you know that?”
“I’m not useless” you said coldly as you walked down the hill, towards the stream, unaware of the shocked face Derek was making behind you.
“What the hell does that mean?” he asked as he tried to catch up to you “Who ever said you were useless?” when you didn’t comment he reached out and grabbed you elbow, stopping you in your tracks “Y/n?”
“You did Derek” seeing his confusion you continued “You didn’t say it outright, but you implied it, you said ‘Maybe I should stick to things I’m good at’“
He was shocked to hear those words come out of your mouth, did he really say that? “I didn’t say that”
“You did Derek” you pulled your arm out of his grip “You said a lot of things during your spiel of why we should break up, and to be frank, it all sounded like bullshit, all you did was blame me”
You continued to walk away as Derek stared after you, whispering to himself “That’s not what I meant to do.”
He began to think back on his words, you were right, nothing he said sounded like he meant it too. He only broke up with you because he hated that you got hurt because of him, he was the only reason you really got involved with the pack in the first place. He thought that if he broke up with you, he wouldn’t be putting you in harms way, because he thought that maybe you would leave the pack all together. ‘You should stick to things your good at’ hearing his own voice say those words in his memory made him hate himself. He didn’t mean it like it sounded, he meant that you should move on, do things that make you happy, outside of the supernatural world. He just wanted you to be safe.
He opened his mouth to speak but at the same time you turned to look at him, he stopped, your intense gaze stopping him in his tracks “Did you hear that?”
Looking around and listening he shook his head, he was too distracted “I didn’t hear anything” You frowned, looking into the trees . Derek walked over to you, looking into the trees as well “What did it sound like?”
“A scream almost” you spoke quietly “But not like it was in pain, more like...a warning?” you questioned it yourself.
Another distant shriek was heard, by the both of you this time. Derek strained his ears to listen, to get a better idea of where it was, he could hear your heart pounding. You were scared. He wanted nothing more than to take your hand in his like he would before, but he couldn’t, not anymore, he made sure of that.
Another shriek, louder, closer. He saw you reach for the gun tucked in your belt. As you did so, a sudden thought came to mind. No matter if you are together or not, you would be in danger. Because you would never leave the pack, not after what you had been through. Why did he think you would? All he did was ruin the best thing he ever had. Idiot.
His thoughts were broken again as yet another shriek was heard, this time much closer than before.
“I think it’s hunting us” you said, your voice quiet.
He reached over, grabbing your arm just above your wrist the two of you circled around, trying to see the creature. The bushes nearby rustled as something ran past “It’s fast” Derek said.
“Too fast” you commented.
This time, the noise it made was so loud it echoed in your ears, causing you to flinch “Where’s the water?!” you yelled out to him.
He looked at you in confusion “What water?”
“Derek! I told you to bring holy water for a reason!”
“I thought you were joking!” he said surprised “It’s not like it’s a vampire!”
“But it was created out of sin, which is why anything holy hurts it!” you retorted as you dug into your bag, searching for something.
Suddenly the creature lunged out of the trees, tall, skinny, pale, with dark black eyes and a tail. Its long arms, tipped with long skinny fingers and sharp nails reached for the two of you. Derek lunged forward intent on protecting you. He growled in warning as he showed his werewolf face and teeth. The creature faltered, hissing in warning.
The creature lunged at Derek tackling him, Derek fought back with his claws, causing the creature to cry out in pain. You gave up on looking in your bag and raised your gun firing at the creature, hitting it twice in the side. It shrieked at you before jumping towards you, you ducked under it as it flew over you. Before you could get up you felt it’s hand grip around your ankle. You turned on your back to fire at it again but it smacked the gun from your hand.
“Y/n!” Derek called as he ran towards you, grabbing your gun as he ran by.
The creature, with your leg still in its grasp dragged you along, into the forest. You yelled in pain as your back drug along the dirt and twigs of the forest floor. Reaching into your bag you managed to find what you were looking for just as Derek shot the creature in the back.
The creature screamed, picking you up and throwing you, causing you to tumble. You groaned, trying to catch your breath after your harsh landing. Looking up you see the creature bounding towards you again. Raising your hand you pressed the iron cross to the creatures face, causing it to burn and scream in agony. Jumping up into the tree above you it jumped to another and another, distancing itself from you.
Derek ran over to you, checking to see if you were okay before looking into your hand, seeing the cross. “A silver cross?” he asked incredulously.
“Iron. But it was blessed by a priest” you comment as he helped you to stand.
You both looked up to the trees, no longer hearing the creature, it had ran. “We need to meet up with Scott and the others, take it down together” Derek said, earning a head nod from you.
He looked back over at you, gently cupping your face, causing you to look at him in surprise “Are you okay?”
You hesitated for a moment, the pain of your break up coming back as you stuttered out “I’m fine” you said before pulling away from him, beginning to walk back the way you came.
“Y/n” he said, grabbing your hand easily pulled you towards him. Spinning, you faced him, shocked when he suddenly kissed you, his hands cupping your face.
When he pulled away you stared at him as he sighed lightly “I don’t want to break up” he paused, but not long enough for you to comment “I decided to break up with you so you could be safe, I wanted you to leave the pack, so you could be happy. I felt like you only ever got hurt because of me, but I realized, maybe a bit too late, that you’d never leave, because you find everyone else more important than your happiness. And no matter what, you will be in danger, and it’s better that I am there to help you, not distract you”
You stared up at him as he spoke, realizing all the hidden meanings behind what he had said a few days before. You should have known it would take him longer to say what he actually meant. “You’re right, I wont leave”
He nodded “Yeah, I know. And...and I don’t want you to” he inched closer, his hand cupping your chin “I’m sorry Y/n. I don’t want this to be over”
You smiled at him “It’s not, Derek” he returned the smile as he leaned down to kiss you again as his arms wrapped around you.
Imagine: Derek was angry with you, because he told you that it was to dangerous to go to school, but you went anyway. “(y/n), babe, im not doing this to upset you. I just need you to...” You didn’t let him finnish and kissed him full on the lips, while your hands explored his broad chest. His lips were soft against yours, but his kiss was firm and full of passion. You broke the kiss. “Sorry, i couldn’t help myself. You’re just to hot when you’re angry.” He looked a little confused. “ But i’m angry all the time.” A mischievous grin played around your lips. “My point exatly.”
