PLAYER | DEREK HALE

Smoke & Mirrors Pt.1

"I still don't like relying on these things" Derek tells me as he leans on the table were Braeden has all her guns layed out. I don't know what will go down tonight, but I honestly don't want to know.

"We get it" Braeden says

"You miss your power" I add

"I would too" She finishes

"It's not about power it's about being able to help. I don't like feeling helpless" Derek says

"I'm human" Braeden says as she loads her gun

"And she's not helpless" I add

"Well she's a much better shot than me" Derek turns to me and smiles but I can see the sadness in his eyes

"Derek do really think you won't be coming back?" I ask

"Not... Alive" He says and it just breaks my heart... actually it's a physical pain in my heart it's like someone ripped it out with their bare hands. The father of my child might just die tonight or tomorrow.

"You know I'm not okay with that" I tell him and he turns back around to look at me then grabs my hands and pulls me close and presses his lips against mine. All I'm thinking is how I'm never going to feel these lips again. What if he actually doesn't come back? What am I going to do!

"I'll give you guys a minute" I hear Braden say and I turn my head while smiling at her then back too Derek who's forehead is pressed against mine

"I am" He whispers against my lips and I look up at him as my eyes start to water "we've got to save Scott and Kira"

"My brother's an idiot but I love him" I say and Derek laughs

"But let's be honest I don't even think this is enough fire power to take down one berserker" Derek says while turning back around and letting go of my hands

"Not even close" We hear a voice say and we all know who that voice is... Peter yay! Not really "killing a berserker is next to impossible. It's not just the fire power it's breaking the animal spirit from the human"

"Well the one kind of person we know with that experience is Argent" Derek says

"And he's not getting back to us" I add

"Well then we're going to need help" Peter says and I raise an eyebrow "like Malia, maybe Liam, definitely me"

"Well we don't trust you" I say straight up and Derek laughs silently

"Do I have to remind you again that I am the only person with the answers" Peter says and I roll my eyes

"You know just because you have a few answers doesn't mean you know everything" I say and he folds his arms "Besides we told you that Malia is your daughter. We gave you everything you asked for but yet you still seem to try and work your way into our heads"

"Well then maybe you'll be surprised when I tell you that you're the only one of your kind" He says and I just give him a look like is he serious or is he lying

"You're lying" I state

"Why would I? After all you gave me my daughter" He says and takes a step closer

"You were an alpha who killed everybody, you killed your own niece, you minipullated Lydia so she could bring you back from the dead and let's not forget about how you created the deadpool" I tell him "I mean the list goes on and on"

"I'll admit, I was a bit crazy" Peter confesses

"A bit" I scoff

"Yes but I am sorry for the trouble I have caused. I just wanted to be the one to come back and tell you what you are" He says
