The Inside Story of a Sourwolf (A Derek Hale fan fiction)

Chapter 3: A Late Night Stroll

I woke up sweating and panting again to the same nightmare I have every night. I'm running from him, more like sprinting, just so I could get away and the farther I get the closer he gets until I wake up. I looked at the time and it said 3:15 A.M. Great now I can't sleep. Might as well go for a walk now that I'm wide awake.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm walking through the middle of the woods. It's actually peaceful at night, well at least more peaceful than they make it seem like in the movies. As I start to think of all the scary movies I've seen where the girls gets kidnapped and killed I stop paying attention and trip over a branch and hit my head on a rock.

"OW!! Seriously??"

I would trip and hit my head being as clumsy as I am. Then I start to feel a warm liquid coming from my head. Please, please, don't be blood. That's all I need. As I reached up and touched my head I touched the liquid and brought my finger down so I could see the liquid. Wow of course, what other kind of liquid would be on my forehead. As I get up I feel dizzy and fall down again. Wow, what am I going to do now? I didn't bring my phone.

As soon as I thought it I heard an angelic voice say,"Are you okay? Need help?"

My first response was,"Am I dead?"

The voice chuckled. I looked up and saw a man with the most beautiful green eyes I've ever seen.

I stared dreamingly into them for a while until the man cleared his throat and said "Ma'am?"

"Oh yeah right sorry. I umm well I'm just really clumsy. I guess a late night stroll by myself wasn't the smartest."

He just chuckled. I couldn't help but blush. The stranger handed me his hand and I took it.

"Thanks Mr.....?"

"Derek, Derek Hale."

What a perfect name, I thought.

"Thanks Derek." I smiled.

Than I realized I was still holding his hand,"Oh sorry."

"That's okay." The silence wasn't awkward, it was actually really nice until I realized it was getting later and I was going to go to the market tomorrow to stock up on food.

"Well thanks Derek. I really should get going though before it gets later."

"You mean earlier?", he said and smiled the most beautiful smile I have and will ever see.

"Oh yeah, umm I guess your right." I couldn't help but smile back.

"Do you need a ride? You said you walked and it's getting late......"

I couldn't help but laugh,"You mean early? Yes I would love a ride."
