Teen Wolf (Derek)
Derek felt the desperation coming in in waves.
He smelt the fear. It lingered in the air even though it’s been days since the fire. He tried to find the footsteps of his siblings in the wet ground but all he could see were the imprints of heavy boots of the firefighters.
Laura took his hand. It was time to leave. They had to find a safe place and that place wasn’t his home anymore. All that was left were ashes.
Derek pressed his sister’s hand and turned around. But the waves of desperation didn’t stay behind. Never left him.
