Blue eyes [Teen wolf/Derek Hale]

Ch6 - The woods

The rest of the day went by like a blur. I helped Stiles with math, he helped me with English. It was almost seven in the evening when I heard Stiles open the front door. I really needed to pee so I sneaked to the bathroom. I heard Scott talking and from what I heard, they went into Stiles's room.

After I was done in the bathroom, I went downstairs. I was kind of hungry so I opened the fridge. After some rummaging around I decided to just take an apple.

I was facing the table as I heard the stairs creak. I quickly turned around and saw that Scott and Stiles peeked around the corner with confused faces.

"What?" I asked them when they just stared.

"I thought I heard a burglar." Scott answered.

"How do you know it was a burglar?" I asked confused.

"You walk silently." Scott noted with some weird undertone. He glanced at Stiles who raised his shoulders slightly.

What is going on?

"So... Why did you move here again?" Scott asked me.

"My parents died." I lied confidently. I'd learned to lie very convincingly over the past few years. It was all about believing your lies. When you believe what you tell, it will come out as the truth.

Scott nodded at Stiles who only got even more confused.

"Hey uh guys?" I said "I think you need a new secret code with each other because this one is kinda obvious." I mean let's face it. Nodding and glancing at each other after I answer a question? Come on.

"Right. Geez, now that I see your apple, I'm also kinda hungry." Scott said obviously lying.

He jumped from the stairs and got ready to walk over to me but I was one step ahead. I'd gotten a new apple in my hand and threw it at him. He caught it expertly and looked at it.

"What? You said you wanted an apple." I said confused as I bit in mine.

"Right, thanks." he said with some weird fake smile.

"Okay... Well I'm gonna go outside..." I said awkwardly and walked past them.

As soon as I closed the door, I heard them whisper things to each other. Had I done something weird? I couldn't think of anything I had done so I decided to let it go. The cool wind brushed against my cheeks and I immediately forgot everything.

I'd done it.

I was free.

But what if my dad eventually finds me? I mean let's face it, it's probably only a matter of time before he finds me. 

When he does, I'll be in a lot of trouble. Let's just hope he won't find me yet.

I had no idea where I was heading but I thanked my inner gut feeling for guiding me. I'd always had a sense of direction. I rarely got lost.

After a few minutes I reached the edge of the woods. It wasn't dark yet and I couldn't resist the woods. I began to wander around.

It was beautiful. For once in my life the trees weren't lined up and I could walk for hours. I loved it. I was heading in a random direction until I found a path. I marked the ground under the tree so that I would know where to head back and I followed the path. 

After at least half an hour I heard someone behind me. I quickly turned around and saw a boy who looked around my age. I backed off but kept my muscles tense. I didn't knew what he wanted so I should stay alert.

"Hi, I'm Isaac." he said and held his hand out.

"Uh hi?" I asked confused and looked at his hand. 

He retreated his hand and scratched his neck. "Okay. I saw you walking through the woods and I decided to follow you."

"Why?"

"You looked lost." he answered with a grin.

"Well, I'm not." I answered without sounding too hostile.

"So you're the new girl, right?" he asked while walking next to me.

"Yes, I moved here yesterday."

"Really? I didn't knew there were houses for sale in the neighborhood."

"I moved in with a friend."

"Really? What's his name, I might know him."

"Stiles." 

He stopped walking. "You moved in with Stiles? But his house isn't even that big... How does your family fit in there?" he asked confused.

"I never said I moved here with my family."

"Oh.." he said and we continued to walk in silence.

It began to get a bit darker I calculated the amount of time I needed to get back and the amount of sunlight still left.

"I really need to head back." I said to Isaac.

He nodded and left me with "Walk fast. You don't want to be out here by night."

I was seriously so confused by everyone here. Was that an American saying or something? Or was there some sort of bear in this forest? Wait, America has bears right? I mean Holland doesn't... The scariest thing you could encounter in a dutch forest would be a non venomous snake.

I did as he told me and jogged back. When I got 'home', Scott was already gone. Stiles was waiting for me on the couch.

"Hi." I said as I closed the door behind me.

"Where were you?!" he asked concerned.

"I went on a random walk... Why?"

"Also, where did you put your clothes?"

"Why do you want to know where I put my clothes? Stiles... Are you secretly a woman who needs to borrow my bra's?"

"Ye- I mean no."

I started laughing

"Shuddap!" Stiles whined and we walked upstairs.
