Chapter Sixteen
Unleashed


Jennifer Blake walked into her classroom and closed the door before turning around, letting out a scream when she saw Aurora standing there. Aurora just raised her eyebrows as Jennifer grabbed a pointer stick, holding it up like a weapon, "Is that supposed to be threatening?" Aurora asked.

"What do you want? You gonna threaten me? Tell me that no one's gonna believe me? Try to scare me?... Kill me?" Jennifer asked and Aurora chuckled, "I was just wanting see if you were okay." Aurora said and Jennifer raised ber journal, "Physically or emotionally?Although, I guess that presupposes I was emotionally okay  before any of this, and, according to my therapist... It's been debatable for a long time." Jennifer said and Aurora nodded slightly.

"I'm a lawyer and a highschool history teacher with two kids in Beacon Hills, I would make a therapist need a therapist." Aurora said and Jennifer raised her eyebrows and nodded, "In twenty minutes, I have to start two dozen teenagers on The Crucible, and I honestly have no idea what I'm gonna say." Jennifer said and Aurora shrugged.

"You could start by telling them that it's an allegory for McCarthyism?" Aurora suggested making Jennifer raise her eyebrows, "Is that a subtle way of suggesting that I shouldn't say anything? Because I won't." Jennifer said and Aurora chuckled and shook her head. "You seem smart enough to know when you should keep your mouth so I'm not too worried about that." Aurora said as she walked around Jennifer, towards the door.

"My names Jennifer, by the way." She said and Aurora smiled at her, "Cadence, but you can call me Aurora." Aurora said before walking out.

Aurora walked into her classroom and paused slightly when she saw Derek waiting for her by the windows. "I'm surprised no ones banded you from school grounds yet. Surely some teenager have been weirded out by an ex-fugitive constantly being at school." Aurora asked and Derek smiled slightly, "I was an innocent man who was accused." He said and she raised her eyebrows.

"Innocent isn't the word I'd use." She said before going to walk over to her desk but stopped when she saw a bouquet of flowers sitting on it. "Did you bring me flowers?" She asked as she pointed at them and Derek just smiled and shrugged slightly. "I might have." He said and she squinted at him, "What did you do?" She asked.

"Why do you automatically think I did something?" He asked and she raised her eyebrows, "Derek Hale randomly decided to bring me flowers... Either you broke sometime of mine, lost one or both of my kids..." She trailed off slightly as she leaned against the front of her desk while grabbing the flowers.

"Or you have a crush on me." She said making him chuckle and playful raise his eyebrows, "Me, have a crush on you? Not a chance." He said and she chuckled. "You'd be lucky to have me." She said as she brought the flowers up to smell them while he smiled at her.
