NIGHTMARES, DEREK HALE

🍒009; Hypnotic

"Why can't you leave me alone?" Maia desperately says, a tired look on her face.

"I'm afraid i can't do that, Maia." Peter slightly winced.

"Timing is key, here, Maia, it all needs to happen by the next Full Moon, do you know what they call the Full Moon in March? It's called the 'Worm Moon'."

"They call it that because it's the last Full Moon of Winter, and worms would literally crawl out of the earth as it thawed, kind of have a feeling of rebirth, doesn't it?"

"You're not making any sense, what has to happen during the Full Moon?" Maia obliviously asks.

"Me, coming back, obviously." Peter grins.

"... you-." Maia hesitantly says, but cut herself off, eyes widening in realization as if catching something.

"You know, don't you?" Peter asks with a smirk.

Maia's phone was then seen ringing, Derek's name was seen on the screen, the girl going to answer it.

Peter was then seen standing behind the girl, causing her to freeze up, him whispering in her ear, as if knowing what she was about to do.

"Only you can see and hear me, but, don't think about telling anyone, or...they might think you're crazy, wouldn't want that, now would you?"

Peter's finger's swipe some of her hair away from her ear to the back of her neck, his cold fingers gently touching her neck.

Maia then quickly jumped up from the bed, quickly moving away from him.

"Please, leave me alone." Maia tearfully pleads.

Peter then took intimidating steps towards her, causing her to back up against the wall, his hands placed onto her neck.

"I'm not letting you go, not as yet, not until you do one last thing." Peter's head tilt to the side.

"What?" Maia asks in a whisper.

Peter's head went to her neck, his lips softly touching her ear, whispering into her ear.

The next morning, at the Argent's house, Lydia was seen with Allison sorting out some clothes for her party tonight.

"Clear your schedule, this could take a while." Lydia happily says, throwing some clothes on the bed.

"...how many outfits do you plan on wearing on tonight?" Allison hesitantly asks.

"It's my birthday party!" Lydia beams.

"I'm thinking host dress, evening dress, then, hmm, after-hours casual." Lydia happily smiles.

"I noticed you didn't send out any invites." Allison hesitated.

"It's the biggest party of the year, Allison---everyone know." Lydia defensively says.

"Well, i just...you know thought everything would be different." Allison awkwardly smiles.

Lydia stares at Allison tensely. "Why would anything be different?"

"Well, um, uh...i noticed that... Maia's not here." Allison shrugs, a nervous look on her face.

"Where's she, by the way?" Allison the curiously asked.

"She's not talking to me." Lydia then says with a sigh.

"What, why not?" Allison asks confusingly.

"This isn't about Maia, i mean, why are you interested? You don't even like her." Lydia suspiciously stares at her.
