Elimination ☞︎ Teen Wolf [4]

Liam & New Territory

Chapter: Three

Zara had about 30 minutes before she needed to be at school.

She had a rude awakening when she walked down the stairs of the loft and saw the mercenary Braeden in the living room with her feet placed on the table, she pushed down the jealousy bubbling in her gut and ignored the scene. She walked into the kitchen and pulled out some frozen waffles from the freezer, she placed 2 of them in the toaster before putting the box away.

When the waffles were done she dropped them on a plate and searched the cabinet for syrup, once she grabbed it she popped the cap open and drowned her food in the sappy substance. She then closed the top before stuffing her face with the sugary treat and licking her fingers slowly as she listened in on the conversation going on in the other room.

Zara poked her head out of the corner behind the door when she finished eating and scanned Derek's face, she could feel the anxiety rolling off of him. She knew he was worried about his eyes changing color and what it could possibly mean, Zara just wanted to kill Kate for thinking she could just come back and torture Derek more than she already has.

She contained her annoyance as Derek ad Peter were trying to pay Braeden to find Kate, why pay her when Zara can find Kate and rip her head off her shoulders for free?

Zara pulled the strings of her hoodie as she placed the plate into the sink when she walked back to the counter, she quickly washed her hands before she pulled out a blood bag from the fridge.  She ripped the top open before downing all the blood inside until it was just blood stained plastic, she quickly tossed it in the bin before pulling her backpack strap over her shoulder and walking into the living room.

She could cut the tension with a knife.

"Hi, it's Zara right?" Braeden says with a very thin smile.

"Yeah, Hi." she gives her a quick smile and looks over at Derek.

He stands up and pulls down the hood that's covering her face, he gives her a gentle smile, "Will I see you later?"

She nods, "I'll be a little late coming back though, Stiles and Scott want me to watch their lacrosse practice, Scott is freaking out about possibly not being team captain anymore."

Derek chuckles, "Of all the things he has to be freaked out about, of course lacrosse is his number one priority."

"I don't even understand it, ugh. Wish me good luck trying to figure out what the fuck is going on." Zara pouts slightly, making Derek lean down and kiss her lips gently, she smiles into the kiss and grips his collar, he slowly pulls away.

"It's not that hard to understand." Derek whispers

"Says you," Zara pecks his lips gently, "I gotta get going."

Derek nods before grabbing her cheeks and leaving a sweet kiss on her temple, "Bye Zara."

"Bye." She mouths before vamping out of the loft.

School is well...school.

Nothing really happens all day, well besides Malia revealing her claws in Algebra. Other than that, the rest of the day is boring and she's so glad it's over. Even if it means she has to act like she knows what's going on during lacrosse practice.

She follows Kira and Malia towards the lacrosse field and they sit down on bleachers as the boys get ready for practice. Zara is texting Derek back when she looks at Kira, her skin is flushed and she looks nervous as hell.

"Kira, you smell nervous, what's wrong?" Malia asked

Kira jumps at her voice, her skin flushing deeper. "N-Nothing."
