I grumbled as Stiles let me trip over another giant rock.

"Is there a reason you had to drag me into the middle of the woods at midnight?"

"Because dad doesn't like me leaving you home alone."

"I'd rather be home alone then out here with you two morons."

I tripped on a rock again.

"Would you please help lead me?If you're gonna drag me around at least remember that I'm blind and can't see where to walk."

"Sorry sorry."

I could tell we were going up some sort of hill and by Scott's eratic breathing it must have been a rough one.We reached the top and had to stop because Scott's ashma was getting rough.

"Stiles next time you decide to go into the woods in the middle of the night remember that you're only friends are a severe ashmatic and a blind girl."

"You're my sister.You have to be my friend."

"I definitely do not."

We started walking forward but Stiles suddenly pushed me back into Scott I'm assuming.Scott pulled me down so we were kneeling.

"What's going on?"

"Shh.It's your dad."

"Good.Let Stiles get caught."

I could hear my dad yelling at Stiles.

"Where's your sister?"

"Uh she wanted to go to Lydia's.For the first day and all."

"And where's your other partner in crime?"

"Who Scott?He's at home.Wanted to get a good nights sleep."

"Scott you out there?"

Scott tensed up but didn't answer.I heard dad walking Stiles back to his jeep.Scott grabbed my arm and helped lead me.I stumbled every once in awhile but it wasn't as bad as when Stiles led me around.We both stopped when we heard rustling and something running.

"Scott what's happened?"

"I don-Get down!"

I didn't have enough time to react and was suddenly knocked down.I screamed and felt myself rolling down a steep hill.My back hit up against a tree causing me to stop.I sat up slowly trying not to hurt myself more.I felt something wet and sticky on my leg.I gently touched it and felt a gash on my leg.I hissed in pain.I held onto the tree and pulled myself to my feet.

"Scott?Scott are you there?"

I didn't hear him reply.I felt around in my pockets trying to find my phone.I couldn't feel it.It must have fallen out when I fell.I heard a rustle somewhere around me.

"Hello?Scott?"

"Are you okay?"

"Who are you?"

"My name's Derek.I live in a house in the woods not far away.What's your name?"

"Alice."

"What are you doing out here this late?"

"My brother dragged me out here with him and his friend.We got seperated."

"Do you need help?"

"Please.I cut my leg."

"Follow me."

I heard a branch snap meaning he was walking away.

"W-Wait.I-I-I can't see."

"What do you mean?"

"I'm blind."

I heard more branches snapping and then felt a presence near me.

"I know you don't really know me but do you trust me?"

"I-I guess."

"I'm gonna pick you up.Your leg looks pretty bad and we're not far from my house."

"Okay."

I felt one of his arms go around my waist and another under my knees picking me up.

"So why did your brother want to come into the woods this late?"

"I don't know.He didn't tell me.He just told me I had to come."

"We'll get your leg cleaned up and then I'll get you home."

"Thank you."

"No problem."

I felt him walking up something I assume are steps.A few seconds later he sat me down on what felt like a couch.

"I'm going to go grab some supplies.I'll be right back."

"Okay."

I heard him walk up some stairs.I felt around on the couch.It felt a little weird.The fabric seemed to be ripped or coming apart.I leaned down and ran my fingers over the floor.It felt charred and cracked.The entire house had a smokey smell to it.I heard him coming back downstairs and sat up.I felt him sit down on the floor infront of me.

"I'm gonna have to cut the bottom part of your pants leg to see it better."

"It's okay."

I felt the scissors slid up my leg and the fabric moved away.

"This may sting but I need to get some of the dirt out."

I nodded my head.I felt a few stings and the tweesers pulling things out of the cut.Once that was done I heard a liquid sloshing around.

"This is really going to hurt."

"Just do it and get it over with."

I felt some type of cotton dabbing the cut and I hissed in pain.

"I'm sorry."

"Don't be.My pain tolerance isn't the best."

He chuckled a bit and continued to clean it.Once that horrible task was over I was just ready to go home.I felt him start to wrap up my leg.

"Can I ask you a question?"

"Go ahead."

"Are you a Hale?"

I sensed him tense for a second.

"How'd you know?"

"A few ways.The house has a smokey smell to it and the furniture and floor are off."

"What's the other way?"

"I met your mom once when I was little.I was playing near the edge of the woods with my brother and his friend when they left me.I wandered around for awhile before your mom found me and took me home.You sound like her."

"I remember a little girl my mom told me about once.She said that she was small and quiet but loved to smile.She told me that she could picture her growing up to be important to the family."

I smiled at that.

"She invited me over whenever I wanted.Gave my dad her phone number and address.She told me that her daughters would have liked me.I never got to meet them.My brother was jealous and didn't want me to have other friends."

"They would have liked you I'm sure."

I felt him finish up wrapping my leg.

"Your leg's all good.It should heal nicely."

"Thank you.Really it means a lot."

"No problem.Let's get you home.Do you think you can walk?"

"Only if you lead me."

"Okay.I think I can do it with minimal trips."

"I'll be sure to keep count."

We both chuckled.He grabbed my hands and pulled me up.

"Okay how do I do this?"

"You can either let me hold your arm and walk beside you or let me hold your shoulders and walk behind you.Either one you still have to tell me if there's steps or something to trip on."

"I'll try walking infront of you first."

"Whatever you're comfortable with."

He took my hands and placed them on his shoulders.The walk to the front door wasn't bad.

"Okay there's 6 steps down here."

"Okay."

I slid my foot around till I hit the edge of each step.We finally made it to the bottom of the steps and I heard Derek release a breath.I smirked.

"See it wasn't that hard."

"Nerve wrecking."

"Try being the one letting someone I just met lead me around."

"Fair."

I followed him to what I assume is his car with only stumbling twice resulting in Derek repeating I'm sorry over and over.

"Seriously it's fine.Only two stumbles.That's pretty good."

"The car is alittle low to the ground."

"I can get it."

He opened the door and I felt around until I safely got in the car without hitting my head.He shut the door and a few second later was getting in on the drivers side.

"So where do you live?"

"Do you by any chance know where the sheriff lives?"

"Yeah why?"

"He's my dad."

"Oh."

The rest of the ride was in silence.He spoke up when I felt the car park.

"We're here.Do you need help inside?"

"No I can get it from here.Thank you again.Seriously I'd still be stuck in the woods right now if it wasn't for you."

"Don't worry about it.I'll see you around."

"Okay.Bye Derek."

"Bye Alice."

I got out of the car and was able to count my steps to the door by memory.Once I got inside I went up to my room with no trouble.I heard Stiles stumble out of his room.

"You're back."

"No thanks to you or Scott."

"You don't know where he is?"

"We got seperated.I don't know what happened to him."

"How did you get home?"

"Someone found me and helped me.Now can I actually go to bed?"

"Yeah.Night."

"Night."

I closed my door when he left and felt around for my pajamas.Once I found them I changed and then crawled into bed.
