You Can't Beat Me. ~A Vampire Dairies And Teen Wolf Crossover Lovestory~

57. I give you my word

"You know, the full moon's coming, Derek." I wake up to the sound of Isaac's voice. What? No, that can't be.
"I'm aware of that." Derek's voice. What? Now, I'm totally freaking out.
"Oh my, these look comfortable." Erica's voice. I'm awake, I know that, but how long was I out if they're speaking so freely if I'm around.
"You said you were gonna teach us to change whenever we wanted." I decide to just listen in
"There hasn't been time."
"But if you have to lock us up during the full moon, that means - that means you're alone against the Argents."
"They haven't found us."
"Yet!" Isaac almost yells
"Shht." Both Erica and Derek say. I can feel the eyes burning on my back
"So how about we forget the kanima?" Isaac whispers
"We. Can't!" This time it's Derek who yells and I flinch. Shit. OK, stay still don't make another sound
"There was something about the way Gerard looked at it. He wasn't afraid - at all. I don't know what he knows or what he's planning. But I'm sure about one thing. We have to find it first." Derek says on a somewhat softer voice. At least he's not yelling anymore. There's a silence and I heard footsteps all around, but now one of them walks in my direction. I start stirring in my 'sleep'
"Psst, Derek." Isaac's voice whispers and suddenly it becomes quiet. I keep stirring and turn around on whatever I'm laying on. All the footsteps were coming towards me now. I acted like I was just waking up and suddenly one of the steady footsteps was replaced by running.
"Cassandra?" Derek's voice said, soft and gentle. One of the other footsteps stopped close next to me at the other side of Derek. The only sound now were our heartbeats, steady breathing and the sound of heels. I guess Isaac and Derek are sitting beside me while Erica was walking around
"Cassandra, are you awake?" This time it was Isaac's voice. I slowly open my eyes and see, just as expected Derek and Isaac sitting next to me while Erica is walking around carrying something. I acted shocked to see them even though I've been listening all this time
"Where am I?" No reaction
"Where. Am. I?" I repeat and Derek sights
"You're safe."
"That's not what I asked. Where am I?"
"I can't tell you."
"Why not? I mean you already brought me here."
"I can't tell you, because we need this as our hide - out."
"How did I get here?"
"Isaac brought you."
"I like your car, Cass." Derek shot him a glare, even though I don't know why.
"Are you OK?"
"Why does everyone keep asking me that?"
"Maybe because you've been out for almost 2 whole days." 2 whole days. Why? I didn't do anything.
"Oh. Yeah, I remember. I passed out in my car after Isaac told me to move so he could drive me." Isaac nodded
"What happened?"
"I don't know."
"You can tell us. I mean, we did keep you here." Suddenly a thought passed. What if they had brought me to the hospital?!
"Thanks."
"You're welcome, but why are we keeping you here?"
"I don't know."
"Cassandra." Derek was trying not to raise his voice
"No, I'm serious, I don't know." I'm not lying. It's not because I haven't fed, I just fed 2 days - 4 days ago. That can't be it. I can last for almost a complete month. Derek suddenly relaxed. Something tells me he knows my trick of the listening to the heart rate.
"OK."
"Really? I wasn't expecting you would believe me."
"I have my ways." He smirks and my stomach grumbles
"You're hungry." Derek turns to Isaac and then to Erica and back to Isaac
"One of you, go get something to eat for her." They both left and I tried to protest, but Derek beat me
"No, don't say anything. You need to eat." I smile
"Thanks" Derek get's back up and walks to a box
"What's in that?"
"Wolf-stuff."
"Something to lock you up?" Derek looks surprised over to me
"My best friend is one, remember?" Derek looks back
"Right, Scott." Then he seemed to remind something and turned to me
"Or are you talking about someone else?"
"No, I only have one. Werewolf friend." I emphasize the one, but also the werewolf. I know he's referring to Damon. To think of Damon, he's been quiet. I don't trust it.
"Right. He's no werewolf."
"He's no werewolf." I repeat. There was a silence. It wasn't really uncomfortable, but I wouldn't really call it comfortable either. I remembered what Isaac told me
"You need to stop letting them follow me." Derek turned around and looked at me with big eyes
"How do you--"
"I'm not stupid. For one, Erica isn't really the person to come and see where I live." Derek sighted and laid down whatever he was holding and he sat beside me on what seems to be a bench from a deserted train
"Yeah, sorry about that. I'm just not happy with the fact that Scott's almost every time with Stiles and you're unprotected."
"Thanks, but I don't need a babysitter." I say softly
"I know." There's another silence, but I'm not planning on breaking it, but then I hear footsteps coming our way. Derek heard them too and stood up again and grabbed what he laid down.
"We're back." Erica sang
"And we picked Boyd up from school." Isaac added
"I was done for today." Boyd says, knowing Derek would be pissed if they pick him up without his permission, but he kept calm
"Fine. Did you do what I told you to do?" I tried to remember what he told them to do and when Isaac held a paper bag in the air I remembered: getting me something to eat. Isaac handed me the bag and I smiled
"Thanks."
"You're welcome. I hope you like it." I opened the bag and saw a piece of pizza
"Yeah, I like it."
"I chose it." Isaac winked at me and went away I was still smiling, but when my eyes met Derek's I became serious again. He really is scary some times. I look down and take a bite from my pizza
