Find A Way

“And you sound like a butthurt little brat so I guess we’re even.” 

“You need better insults there kitty kat.”

“Your comebacks are whack.” 

“You sound like a 15 year old girl.”

“You’re annoying me.” 

“Awe, now you know how it feels.”

“ You know what, I was enjoying the grumpy, one-liner you so much more.” 

“Why? This is much more entertaining.”

“Seriously? That’s the only thing that came to your mind? Gosh.”

“Guilty as charged.”

“Well I must be doing something right for you to pick up on it,” Cheryl said with a smile. “Name’s Cheryl.”

“It’s rare” He spoke, nodding at her name. “Derek.... There something I can do for you?”

“Well, first of all, you need to put a shirt on. Then, we need to talk.” 

Her voice sent a chill down his spine as he dropped from the paneling. “A-... Allison?” He spoke as he turned around to see the woman he swore died back in Beacon Hills. “...-How?”

“I’m just teasing I’m not that dumb, Derek,” Faye mused with a smile. “Fine if we’re going to be like that.” She clenched her hand into a fist and then released her hand again as mini lightning bolts cracked across her hand. “Whos capable of doing this?”

Derek’s brow furrowed as he watched the magic. He was certain there were plenty of supernatural creatures that could pull that off but he spoke his first guess. “Witch?” The question in his tone.

kai frowned. he was confused as to what he meant “what could be worse? you only know half of it. almost half of it” he commented “damon and stefan salvatore, does it ring a bell for you now? i believe everyone thought their mother was dead” no wonder when she had left them “confusing. i thought every werewolf is the same. i have only seen wolves and one bit me, so i almost died” until he remembered that he could siphon it out of his system. he began to wonder if a bite from the type of werewolf derek was could be siphoned away. perhaps it wasn’t same magic as the werewolves from mystic falls and vampires actually could die from derek’s bite. a part of him wanted to try that to see, but it might not be worth the risk.

“If you knew half of the hell I’ve been through it might qualify as worse?” He offered. “Happy to hear the other half.. or more?” Derek spoke, brow furrowing as the names played around in his head. “My Mother and father spoke of them once I think but I don’t remember much.” He shrugged. they were probably important but he was too young to remember. “Right... our bite is lethal to your kind... maybe it’s different by region? That or ever other wolf around here is evolved in a sense.” He hadn’t heard of some many in one place so this was news. “Where I’m from vampires don’t come near so all I have to go on is lore and the knowledge my family left behind.”

“The question is, which one? I knew a couple– didn’t end well.” 

Katherine were you deflowering popes again?

Theo looked away momentarily at being called a wannabe werewolf, trying to keep himself composed. “Actually, it’s more of a fact than an opinion. I mean, I think what happened to both your pack and almost your entire family is proof of that.” He smirked callously. Oh he could tell these they were going to have fun being stuck in this town together. That proved even more true by Derek’s threat. “I’ll keep that in mind. Although seeing as how we’re stuck in a town that’s even more of a beacon for the supernatural than even Beacon Hills was, messing with Scott and his pack again is not really on my to-do list. Especially after helping them with their Ghost Rider problem.”

Derek rolled his eyes at the male. “You don’t know the truth about my family or my pack and I really don’t have the time or crayons to explain it to you.” Had Scott spoken to him like this it may have set him off but the wolf thought very little of the boy in front of him. “I really don’t care about what you think you did. Still an opinion of a poser. I hope that’s a fact because my threat stands” The male nodded slowly before turning around. “Enjoy your time in the Harbor then, Raeken.”

“Where have you been all my life? No I need nothing just carry on.”

Derek dropped from the frame and looked at her as he moved for his shirt on the chair. “Are you hitting on me?”

“Well I hope you prove me wrong soon enough, Daniel. Oh don’t worry I’ll get it at some point. So what supernatural being are you?”

He looked at her unamused. “Show me yours and I’ll show you mine.”

kai snatched a bowl of peanuts from behind the bar. he took a handful in his mouth as he listened to the other man “yes a heretic is a vampire and witch. that’s what the woman who turned me into one called her family. i don’t know how the name was born. all heretics are from the beginning siphoners, useless people born without magic. they can siphon the magic from magical objects or other witches, even vampires i believe” perhaps was useless too harsh to say. but it was for him. at least that’s what his family had told him he was. so he believed in the words.

“ ― but it’s only we that was turned by a woman named lily salvatore that are called heretics. i have never met other siphoners than her precious family” he continued to ramble “oh and yes, so when we siphoners turn into vampires we can use magic because of that not born with magic thingy comes in handy then. was that confusing? it sounded confusing in my ears. ugh, i confuse myself sometimes” he knew very little about heretics, as no one had told him anything about them “you’re a werewolf that is not controlled by the moon? that is something new. so how is it working then? your werewolf thing.. do you turn into a wolf?” after the heretic had stopped talking. FINALLY; he took another handful of peanuts and stuffed them in his mouth.

Derek’s brow seemed to slowly raise higher with every passing word that he failed to breathe between. Of course he tried processing the information and though some pieces matched up to things he had read, the wolf was still at a bit of a loss. “Could have been worse.” He shrugged light-heartedly. “Salvatore sounds familiar actually. Not sure  I’ve heard of her but it makes sense I suppose...” Derek nodded at the male in regards to his abilities. “Well, I suppose.” He spoke watching the peanuts fall into the male’s mouth. “Where I’m from it’s not the norm but yes I can transform into a full wolf. I basically died to get to this point. Been through hell and back to get here but I’ve had decent control for a long time. ”
