Derek's POV
"Why do we need protecting from ourselves?" I quietly sighed at him and bent down to his height. "Well, on a full moon, we become, different from other people, so we need to be...safe."

Hours later the moon was at it's peak, Silvie and Ace are in the basemnt confined in chains, while Echo, Scott and I watch over them. Silvie struggled and pulled against the chains, while Ace continued growling and snarling at us. "Scott, if they get out, what should we do?" Echo asked nervously. "Well, there's only one thing we could do, run after them" Echo sighed and slumped back in her chair. "Why are we so sure that they'll get out anyway?" This time it was my turn to answer.
"No Hale has ever been able to control the shift the first time and not break free, Laura did it, Cora did it, my mother, Peter, even me, we all broke free our first time" Echo glared at me, "But they're half McCall as well, and we have a history of no such thing" I scoffed, "Scott ran off, you ran off" She grumbled to herself before her sight returned to the kids. But they weren't there. "Time to go mini Hale chasing" Stiles joined us in the jeep with Lydia, I went with Peter while Echo went with Scott.
"So, you and Echo not on the best of terms recently then?" I quietly growled at his comment. "I'll take that as a no then" I looked at him with a glare and he shut up. We were on Ace's scent, and it was leading towards the Beacon Hills Preserve, what is it with that place that makes everyone go there?! We ran faster towards Ace's scent, eventually catching sight of him. We tried cornering him inbetween a couple of trees, but he just ran off.
We lost his scent before it came really really close. We couldn't see him but we could smell him. We kept circling the area we were standing on before Peter fell down and growled, I turned towards him and Ace has his claws out, tearing apart the skin on Peter's back. "Derek-!" He snarled at me, "Get your child- OFF OF ME!" He yelled, startling Ace and making him run off, I chased after him but I lost his scent. I looked around where I was and realised that I had run into an unfamiliar part of the preserve. "Ace!!" I yelled into the darkness, I heard a whimper in the distance, like a small wolf would do.
I ran towards the sound, to see a small figure looming ontop of Ace, covering his body, but only just as the other figure was also small, at first I thought it was Silvie, that she had ran over here as she might've smelt me or Ace and knew the scents as being ones she could recognise. But when I got close to the figure, they had longer hair, were a bit taller than Silvie, and had forest green eyes.
