19 I'M STAYING

Derek is walking in the woods, he looks around only seeing trees and the bright sun shinning down on him, he walks tiredly as he calls out "hello! Is anyone here?!" The echo of his voice sends some birds flying from tree to tree, he keeps walking then he hears a rattle, his eyes gazes at the tree where the sound had come from but it seems quiet again, Derek walks on when an arrow flies pass him, he looks back to see a tall man on a mask with a bow preparing yet another arrow to shoot at him, his eyes widens as he begins to run, he keeps panthing as the stranger slowly follows him stopping once in a while to shoot at him.

It's Saturday morning. Natasha, Mira, Josh and Chris all standing in of Derek's front yard "this is so weird" Chris States "you've got a better idea" Mira smirks "we should just tell them" Josh suggests Natasha rolls her eyes "you stupid, it's certified now" Josh frowns, the 'that's too harsh' kind of frown. Natasha sighs "let's go", they are standing at the front door now while Chris knocks repeatedly till Aunty Milan who looks dressed up for work opens the door "hey miss Milan" Natasha smiles "hello, I assume you want to see Derek?" Aunt Milan asks "yea" Natasha smiles. "Ok, I'll go get him for you" "that wouldn't be necessary, he knows we are here and so he asked we come to his room" Josh compels, Aunty Milan acting weirdly nods as she gives way for them to come in "have a nice time, I'm out", "bye" they wave at Aunty Milan who shuts the door with a smile.

Derek comes across a water fall, he did not hesitate before diving in turning to his merman form he swims fast hiding behind a rock, he watched as the stranger surfaces glancing around to find him but couldn't, he turns around and walks away leaving Derek exhaling in relief as he Derek looks around.

"Where am I?" He mutters as he swims out and soon he was back to his normal form. He looks around before hearing someone mutter, turning to the direction he sees a woman standing near by a cottage which he had not noticed, "hello?!" He waves, the woman turns to look at him and he realises it's his mother "mom?" A smile came up his face.

Lukas in his office as he searches through a medium seized box roughly, the box contains metals and glass materials, Lukas search stops immediately he sees an old looking knife with an inscription '1995-GVr' he smiles and rubs the tip of the metal with his index finger.

"Ok now what? What are we going to do" Mira asks "I'm going to where he is" Natasha says "that's dangerous" Chris warns "you think I don't know that? We have no choice if he stays too long, we might loose him" Natasha says sadly "I've never known you to care this much or at all" Josh smirks raising a 'questioning' eyebrow "this ain't the time guys, let's do the right thing" Mira says softly.

Aunty Milan is in the hospital attending to a patient when a female white, curvy, average doctor walks in "how is he doing?" She asks removing the stethoscope from her neck and fixing it properly as she examines the pale patient before her, Aunt Milan gives her an askance yet warm look "I'm doctor Anny, I got in her yesterday I guess you were not around?" She smiles "I'm nurse Milan. I wasn't around, it's nice meeting you" Aunty Milan says a bit too official, Doctor Anny smiles placing her hand on Aunty Milan shoulders "Nurse Milan I need you to be free with me, okay?" Aunt Milan nods with the faintest smile.

Natasha sits on the floor enchanting in Latin, her hands placed on her crossed legs then she suddenly stops speaking. She is at the other side. She walks in the woods "Derek!!!!" She begins running and screaming Derek's name, in search of him.

Derek enters the cottage "mom?" Everywhere is creepily quite, he walks into the dusty kitchen "mom?" He walks to the rooms but no sign of Mrs Corbett. Derek bends down and begins to cry "I can't do it" he exhales midst shaky breath as he rolls his light Brown eyes in search of nothing exactly "I don't want to go back there- I wish we all, Candice and Milan were here with you and dad" "it's worse here son" Mrs Corbett says from behind, Derek's sad face immediately disappears replaced with that of hope, he stands up "mom" he quickly goes to hug her but he simply walks through her "I myself wish to hug you now and place on your face a million kisses but I can't" Mrs Corbett says with watery eyes, she sits on the couch, "come stay beside me my brave" 'my brave' the Nick name she always called him when she was still alive. Derek sits beside her "I don't want to go back mom" he says "but you have to. You can correct many things back there but here you live with the mistakes you made there." Mrs Corbet says in the calmest voice, "you are the kindest person I know, you didn't do any wrong mom" Derek says with his hands about reaching to her but he remembers and stops mid way, "Go to the left side of the first bedroom you'll see a box, bring it" Mrs Corbett instructs, Derek stands up and heading to get the box. He gets it, he places it before her "open it you'll see a knife wrapped in a black cloth" she says to him. Derek brings it out "unwrap it" she says, Derek does so as the knife had an inscription on it '1995-GVr'. "What's this?" Derek asks taking a closer look on the knife "what you must change my brave. Come" she says as Derek sits down resting his head on the couch while Mrs Corbett uses her hands to touch his head, though they both couldn't feel the connection, it was something they were comfortable with "you must go now" she says "No mom, I'm staying. I'm not losing you again" Derek says as tears falls from his eyes, he did not look up, afraid of stopping the stroking of his mom fingers in his hair which he can't feel. "Natasha has come to take you" Mrs Corbett says "I'm scared to leave mom, a man is after me" Derek says, Mrs Corbett looks away sighing "I know, Hilary".
