2 days had passed. Boyd was dead. Derek was gone.

Me and stiles were currently at Derek's loft talking to Cora. She was telling us a story about the hale's past while looking at the pouring rain outside the big windows.

Cora: they hid and waited for 2 days. That's what we were thaught to do when the hunters found us...hide and heal.

Stiles: ok so is 2 days standard then or..are we thinking Derek is on some kind of extended get away?

Cora: why do you care?

Stiles: why do I care? Let's see.. because after the last few weeks my best friend tried to kill himself, his boss nearly got ritually sacrificed, a girl that I've known since I was 3 WAS ritually sacrificed, boyd was killed by alphas, i- you want me to keep going? Cause I can alright? For like an hour

You: Stiles tone it down..

Cora: you think Derek can do anything about that?

Stiles: well since he's the one everyone seems to be after, it's more like he should do something about it

I slapped him on the arm

Cora: there's something different about him now.. he wasn't like this when I knew him

You: what was he like?

Cora was about to say something but she got cut off by Peter coming down the stairs.

Peter: a lot like Scott actually

He continued coming down the stairs

Peter: a lot like most teenagers. Unbearably romantic, profoundly narcissistic, tolerable really only to other teenagers

You: so what happened to him? What changed him?

Peter: well... the same thing that changes a lot of young men.... a girl

Stiles: you're telling me some girl broke his little heart? THAT'S why Derek is the way he is?

You: jesus christ Stiles. Some Empathy wouldn't hurt

Peter looked at Cora

Peter: do you remember before Derek was an alpha, he had blue eyes?

He then looked at Stiles

Peter: do you know why some wolves have blue eyes?

Stiles shook his head

Stiles: I always thought it was a genetic thing

Peter: if you want to know what changed Derek you need to know what changed the colour of his eyes.

We all sat down on the couches

Peter opposite Cora and me and Stiles opposite both of them.

Peter: it happened when Derek was in sophomore year. He was playing basketball in the corridors with his friends. This girl, paige, played the cello. She came out of the music room telling them to be quiet because she needed to practice. Derek being the teen he was, tried to impress his friends so he told paige that if she succeeded in taking the ball from him then they would stop.
She didn't succeed and just went back to the music room. Derek felt a little bad for her so he went to apologise.

Stiles: wait if Derek was in sophomore year, how old was he?...How old were you?... how old are you now??

Peter: not as young as we could have been but not as old as you may think

You: that was frustratingly vague

Stiles looked at Cora

Stiles: how old are you?
