Love Under The Moon

Chapter 5: Jail

I quickly woke up and ran to Derek's for training. I figured the run would be a nice warm up. Usually I hate running but since I got bitten I wasn't nearly as out of breath as before.

I stopped when I saw cop cars surrounding the house.

I saw Scott and Stiles standing there as handcuffed Derek was being guided by a police, into the cop car.
I grabbed Scott by the collar and dragged him out of sight.

"What the heck?! What is going on?! Explain. Now!"

"Derek killed the woman that was found."

I crossed my arms and looked at him with my eyebrows raised. "Seriously?"

"We found her body! On his property!"

I looked at the car that was holding Derek.
"So you find the body and just say it was Derek? The only person who can help us?!"

"I can figure this out myself and you can too!"

I threw my hands up and turned.

"You just made a big mistake... everyone knows now- the Hunters know this is where Derek is."

"Is that such a bad thing?"

I rubbed my face and groaned. "I don't personally feel like dying thank you very much! And you just set us up as a perfect target!"

"They don't know about us!"

"Yet!"

I quickly walked off and ran back to my apartment and took a shower.

I thought about everything and got ready.

I headed to the jail.

I was led by a cop to the back after a body check and I saw Derek sitting in the cell.

"Who was the girl?" I asked.

"Doesn't matter now."

"Everything matters now!"

I ran my hands through my hair. "She was a werewolf too... you buried her..." I looked at Derek who just stared at me with his cold eyes. "But you didn't kill her did you?" I asked.

"Yes."

"They think you killed another one of us, but what would be the point in that?"

"You're saying you're not taking their side?"

"I'm on your side Derek," I answered.

He came up to the bars and looked at me. "The Hunters killed her."

"I'm sorry. I believe that you didn't do it."

I slowly slid down the cell walls and sat there.
"The Hunters started the fire didn't they?" I asked.

Derek didn't answer.

I bit my nails and waited. He would be let out soon, they would find something. Anything that proves his innocent.

"Why are you here Elizabeth?" He asked.

"Because.. you're in jail. I can't leave you alone in jail."

"I think I can handle myself."

"I know you can, but it's lonely."

"I'm used to being alone."

"Nobody like being alone. Someone told me that recently. I'm just trying to be a friend."

Hours passed until night almost fell.

I stood up. "I'll watch Scott make sure he doesn't kill anyone at the game..."

"You think you can control yourself?" Derek asked.

I shrugged. "Guess I'll have to figure that out."

Derek rolled his eyes.

"You got a better idea?"

He shook his head and I walked away.

I headed to the field and got a seat on the bottom bleaches.

I watched the game very carefully keeping my eyes on 11 - Scott.

Scott made the winning shot right before the buzzer went off. His first score.

I cheered with everyone but then I saw him acting different.

Oh no.

I quickly ran to them, getting shoved by each individual.

I got where he lay and he wasn't there. I looked up and he was running off towards the school. I saw Allison chase after him and I cursed.

If he killed her we'd all be in trouble.

I ran after both of them, Stiles right behind me.

"Stiles you get Allison and I'll get Scott."

"Got it!"

We ran in and stopped seeing Allison and Scott making out in the locker room.

I sighed and rested my head on my forehead.

Teenagers.

I crossed my arms and waited and Allison left.

"Hey Stiles," She said, smiling.

"Hey Allison," Stiles answered awkwardly waving.

I smiled with annoyance and walked up to Scott.

"Are you serious?!" I whispered.

"She kissed me," he blurted out.

"Yeah I saw that," Stiles replied.

"What's wrong?" Scott asked.

"The cops found an animal killed the girl, Derek's not an animal, so Derek not killer. He's been let go."

I sighed. "Finally something going right."

"I can't believe your trusting him," Scott answers.

"I can't believe you're not when he seriously is the only one who has kept us alive this long. With you playing Russian roulette with the Hunters with one of their daughters it's only a matter of time."

I walked out and ran to Derek's house.

I walked in slowly, shutting the door.

"Derek?" I asked.

Derek came walking out of the shadows slowly.

"I um, just wanted to make sure you were alright and everything."

"I'm here."

"Great, cause I totally am getting your car if anything happens to you," I teased. "I better get going but tomorrow? Training?"

He slowly nodded.

"Great, see you tomorrow. Oh, and I know a great place to go to eat after being in jail - not that I've been in jail - just good comfort food. So plan for that sometime," I said, opening the door and slowly closing it behind me.

I sighed in relief and took off running to my apartment, ready for another night of nightmares and insomnia
