Season 6 - Episode 5

Anastasia POV

I set my world on fire a long time ago,
Just so I could breathe.

I nervously fiddle with my badge as Chief Webber shows us around the newly merged hospital. After getting a call a few months ago about hiring the three of us as his new Chief attendings, we jumped at the idea to get away from family and packed everything up almost immediately. Now my twin Angelina and our best friend, practically sister, Mallory are walking along side me in dark blue scrubs with our surgical caps in our pockets. Mine is black with skeletons, coffee, and a few jokes. Angelina's is white with pink hearts and Care bears all over it. While Mallory's is pink with little strawberries all over it.

I tune out Chief Webber as we walk down the main stairs into the front part of the hospital. Lina looks around, eyeing the crowd below us while Mallory grins, probably picturing herself cutting someone open no doubt. The hospital is a bright sterile white with glass everywhere, making it seem cold. Very modern but seems unfriendly. Guess I'm used to working with kids. My eyes trail down to the very hostile looking doctors in dark blue and tacky orange scrubs at the bottom of the stairs. More importantly, the tall male with dark black hair and grey streaks, who stand near the back with a red head. My stomach churns and anxiety builds in my chest.

      I cut off the Chief with a sharp question "is that Derek Shepherd Chief Webber? Because I thought we were very clear about working with family members." His tired eyes meet mine and I silently curse myself for being so rude. Angelina smacks my arm while Mallory just glares at the older man and my twin. "I may have fibbed a bit to get you three here but Seattle Grace-Mercy West hospital needs more women like you all. You are all three top contenders for the Harper Avery award and you've barely just became attendings. Not to mention the fact that one of you already won one. Your work and track record surpasses everyone here, in fact you could do circles around your brother and his wives" Chief Webber replies with a large smile. I turn to my twin with an angry face "wives huh? I guess we'll see how long that lasts."

    Angelina scoffs beside me, her hands winding into fists. Chief Webber ignores my comment, as he gets the attention of the crowd below. They all quiet down quickly and focus on the Chief as he speaks. There is a clear line of each hospital, one side completely orange and the other dark blue. The two sides glare at each other and back at Chief, ignoring us completely. My eyes catch Mallory's and she slightly nods her head towards Derek. He stands towards the back of the crowd but is moving to the front, with his first wife Addison. She's still as beautiful as ever. I wonder if she's still a bitch too. Countless memories flood my mind and I start to pick at my nails nervously. Mallory smacks my hand lightly "did you forget your fidget ring?" I nod sheepishly and she just shakes her head.

     The Chief claps his hands together before speaking "hello everyone! I know this transition is going to be hard but I think I have found a way to make it easier. I will still be your Chief of Surgery but with a little extra help." He turns to us and motions for me to step forward "this is Anastasia Shepherd and she's quadruple certified in Trauma, General, Orthopedics, and Pediatrics; with an extensive background in Neuro as well. She will also be your new Chief Attending. Meaning she is right under me, anything she says goes got it?" He states it more as a threat but only one raises his hand. Of course it would be him. Derek aggressively waves his hand, trying to get the Chief to pick him. The rest of the crowd just murmurs about me being quadruple certified.

    Addison narrows her eyes at us, as if we're up to something and Derek raises his hand higher, as the Chief ignores him. "Anyone else with questions?" He asks, his eyes darting over the crowd below us. No one asks anything though I feel the questioning gazes. "How can they be so young and be quadruple certified?" Or "Is that Derek's sister's?" Or my personal favorite, "she only got there because of her family name and because she's pretty". Yeah right. I worked my ass off for this job. Derek's face turns red and he shoves his way to the front of the group with Addison hot on his heels, "I do Chief. How old are these girls? Why should we listen to children that probably haven't even cut someone open?" He seethes. The others just kind of look at him in confusion, not particularly worried about our ages.

I begin to pick at my nails, before feeling a hand in mine. Mallory squeezes my hand before leveling her eyes at Derek and stepping forward. "Listen here, you weasel. We-" I cut her off before she punches my idiot brother in the face. "We may look young but I promise you, we have more talent in our pinkies than your dick" I give him a lethal smile as Mallory cackles beside me. The crowd goes silent around us. "Which coincidentally are bigger than yours" Mallory adds with a wink, making me let out a giggle of my own. The crowd laughs around us and I smirk down at my asshole brother, whose face is turning a shade of scarlet red. Chief Webber even cracks a smile before turning a glare unto Derek. "Anymore questions Dr. Shepherd? Or can I continue with my job?" Chief asks. Derek shakes his head and stomps off with Addison trailing behind him like a lost puppy.

      Webber clears his throat again and paints on another smile "next we have Angelina Shepherd who is also quadruple certified in Pediatrics, General, Orthopedics, and Plastics. She will be your new Chief Resident. Meaning she will deal with any Resident or Intern business from now on. She will also be handling any disciplinary matters, so go to her with any Resident or Intern issues. Attending's, that means if you have a problem with a resident or any problem at all for that matter, you need to see Dr. Anastasia or Angelina first. Preferably Anastasia as she will be like another me." I see a few people in blue scrubs glare at us, particularly a short dark skinned woman. Which makes Angelina shuffle behind Mallory and I.

    Mallory and I both narrow our eyes, leveling our own glares on the small group of blue. Even going as far as to making them so uncomfortable that a few of them actually leave. Geez. People here are babies. This is a workplace, not a popularity contest. "Then we have Mallory Fairchild, who again is quadruple certified in Orthopedics, Cardiothoracics, General, and Pediatrics. She will be your new Chief of Medicine. I think that one is self explanatory but just in case. Anything to do with labs, new research, testing, funding, or anything like that goes through Dr. Fairchild first." Mallory flashes a predatory smile, showing off her pearly teeth.

     The Chief smiles at us before pulling out my Harper Avery from last year. My cheeks turn pink and I fight the urge to run and hide. "All three girls not only graduated from Harvard College top of their class but also John Hopkins and are up for the Harper Avery Award as well. But Dr. Anastasia here, already has one. I want to repeat that, Dr Anastasia who is only 25, has already won a Harper Avery." Chief Webber announces with a grin, holding my glass award up high. The crowd breaks out into hushed whispers and I feel my face heat up even more. "I think everyone can clearly understand why these women were hired. They're here to clean up this place and turn it into the number one hospital in the nation!" A few clap but most still talk quietly to themselves.

Her Harper Avery

As Webber ends his speech, the room explodes in conversations and a few people clap. Though most just leave, probably ready to get back to work. My cold blue eyes travel through the crowd before stopping on a pair of grey-green eyes and my breath catches. The man has light mocha colored skin and a buzzed head. Freckles litter his handsome face and strong jawline that's covered stubble. He has large arms that flex as he shoves his hands into his pockets and stands way above the others in the crowd. A small smirk rests on his face when he sees me staring and he smiles, showing off a row of perfect white teeth. My cheeks flame a dark red and I avert my eyes. Oh my gods he's hot.

  My eyes nervously bounce back to him, taking in his form again. Oh gods he is really attractive. He has a large grin on his face as his eyes lock onto mine. He sends me a little wave before talking to a small redhead by his side. My cheeks heat up, turning an even deeper shade of red. The man and his friend are dressed in orange scrubs, so they're from Mercy West. Mallory jabs my side with a smirk "I saw that. He's hot." I shush her as Chief claps his hands together again and dismisses the rest of the group. Everyone leaves pretty quickly, minus a few residents in orange and a group of blue, who keep giving me glares. They have to be friends of Derek.

Webber turns to us with a smile "so are you ready to start your first day?" I give him a small smile, while nodding my head yes. "Yes Chief Webber. Thank you for all the kind words and introduction. Oh and I apologize for my outburst with Derek. He's just such a-" He waves me off with a genuine laugh "asshole? Yeah he is. Too bad he's really good at his job. And I don't mind at all. You three are truly brilliant and I want you to be comfortable here. I know Derek being here isn't easy but Seattle Grace-Mercy West Hospital needs bright minds like you all." I hear Mallory mumble "kiss ass" under her breath and I have to keep from laughing.

   I nod my head and shake his hand "well thank you Chief. You've given us a chance to broaden our careers and we are very excited. We should go check things out before we start bossing people around." He laughs and waves us off "see you later girls and please let me know if you need anything." He then climbs the glass stairs towards his office and we go the opposite way. The group of orange Residents still stands before us and the incredibly hot man begins to approach us with one of his friends. "Hello I'm Dr. Jackson Avery and this is Dr. April Kepner" he sticks his hand out for me to shake and I take it, feeling a little jolt of electricity when we touch. "Avery as is Harper Avery? I knew you looked familiar. Wait does Catherine know you're here?" I ask. Angelina perks up at the mention of Catherine and smiles at Jackson.

His face turns pale and his eyes bounce around the room. "Um yeah but no one really knows and I'd like to keep it that way" he nervously states. Then turns to the girl beside him and threatens "a secret. Got it Kepner?" She shrinks back and stutters "y-yeah. No problem. I can keep a secret." He raises a brow at her and she runs off to the rest of their friend group, most likely to tell everyone. "Uh, sorry I didn't realize people didn't know. Kinda figured they would since it's obvious. Are we sure these doctors are smart enough to be here?" I joke. Mallory cackles behind me as Angelina giggles. Jackson smirks at me as his pager goes off. "Well looks like a big trauma coming in, you all coming or do you start with the attendings?" He asks.

I shrug, looking at the girls and they both start walking. "Let's go, I want to see some blood!" Mallory yells, speed walking down the hall. The others look at her with weird faces but Jackson just laughs along with Angelina and I. "Shes different huh? I like it. Too many people here are fake" he mumbles. I nod, understanding "yeah most people expected us to live up to our brother's name or even follow in Addison's footsteps." I shake my head "but we proved that we are better. And now when people hear the Shepherd name, it's because of us." Jackson smiles down at me and I feel my cheeks warm again. Damn it, he's just too cute. "Yeah exactly like that" he murmurs. "Hey love birds, suit up!" Mallory yells, pulling our gazes away from each other and causing us both to blush.

I flip her the bird as we put on our yellow gowns and gloves. Jackson neatly ties mine up, letting his fingers trail around my back. A shiver rolls down my spine and I can practically feel his smirk. "Thanks" I mutter before tying his gown up while avoiding eye contact. He just smirks down at me as we walk to the attending in charge of the ER. Angelina and Mallory stand beside me, both ready in their yellow gowns. Well Mal is practically foaming at the mouth for a trauma. Another group of interns walk up in light blue scrubs, clashing with the orange scrubs behind us. Each group glares at each other, already hating working together. Jackson steps up behind me and whispers in my ear "how about we go get a drink later and you can tell me all about how you know my mom?" His breath tickles my neck and I can feel his body heat radiating against me.

Mallory laughs as my cheeks stain scarlet and I just barely nod my head yes "only as colleagues though. I'm an attending and I don't date coworkers. Especially ones that I can get into trouble for dating." He chuckles behind me, his breath caressing the back of my neck, sending warm tingles down my back. "Whatever you say Dr. Shepherd" he whispers, making goosebumps arise on my arms. Stop it. You cannot date a coworker. Especially a resident. But he's sooo hot. I shake my head as we approach the ER attending, trying to get Jackson out of my head. The ER attending has orange hair, pale skin, and looks to be from an Irish or Scottish decedent. He isn't very attractive and has a harsh look on his face. By the way he's standing, I'm guessing he's ex military. That's a red flag already. (Please don't take this seriously. It's a joke.)

A woman, who was glaring at me earlier, with almond eyes, curly black hair, and blue scrubs asks the attending "where do you want us?" He barely glances up at her "anywhere is good, Dr. Yang." Jackson steps up behind me, his body almost flush with mine and I suck in a breath at the contact. Mallory snickers beside me and I try my best to keep my face from flushing. I cut my eyes to her and mouth 'fuck you.' She just giggles and mouths 'later.' Angelina shakes her head at us and motions to the attending, as if to say 'pat attention.' I turn my attention back to Jackson as he states "at Mercy West we did zones. Helped keep everything organized." The black haired intern, Dr. Yang, glares at him and scoffs "yeah well this isn't a school yard, it's an ER." My eyebrows raise at her tone "that's funny. Johns Hopskins did zones as well. I thought they worked rather well there but what do I know? They are only the top rated hospital in the world."

Mallory gives me a first bump as Angelina shakes her head. "You could try to be nicer, we need to make friends" she whispers to me. I shake my head "they won't respect you unless you show them you mean business baby. Trust me on this." She nods her head, chewing at her lip as Dr. Yang turns red at my statement and the attending grins in my direction. Another doctor in blue beside Dr. Yang, smiles at me and waves her hand. She's got long chocolate hair and dark eyes. Shes in light blue scrubs, making her an intern. Her skin is pale but flawless and her smile is contagious. I wave back at the resident, sending her wink and making her blush a dark red. Mallory snickers beside me "two in one day. Damn Ana!"

I narrow my eyes at her and stick my tongue out. She just smirks at me when Jackson throws an arm around my shoulders but I shrug him off, giving him a pointed look. The attending then turns towards us, his eyes glazing over to Angelina "Dr. Shepherd, nice to meet you. My name is Dr. Owen Hunt. Is it okay if we call you by your first names instead? I believe having four Dr. Shepherd's is a bit confusing." Angelina stays silent, so I nod my head yes and respond "of course. I'm Dr. Anastasia and this is my twin Dr. Angelina. And this is our sister, Dr. Fairchild." Angelina send me a relived smile and nods her head while Mallory waves her fingers at the man.

He shakes each of our hands, his eyes sticking on Angelina a little longer than I'd like and I subtly move in front of her. She tucks herself beside Mallory, furthering the space between her and Dr. Hunt. His eyes move over to Jackson as his view of my twin is gone "I like that idea. What's your name?" Jackson steps up with a grin "Dr. Avery sir." He nods his head "okay well I'm Dr. Hunt and this is my ER. Dr. Anastasia, Dr. Angelina, and Dr. Fairchild are in charge. Set up your zones, I have a surgery. Oh and nice to meet you all!" He adds, his eyes trailing back over to Angelina. She hides behind me again as Dr. Yang sends us a glare. "Okay let's get started guys" I say clapping my hands together. I send a smile to the group, catching the brunettes eye. I wink at her again and she turns a dark red as Dr. Yang pulls her away.

     I grip the papers in my hand tightly, as I try to find the lab station for my patients. I knew I should have looked at the map before coming in. This hospital is too big. I groan in frustration as I pass by the same rows of patients for the third time. I slink into a chair by an open door and grab my phone, looking up a map of the hospital like I should have done ages ago. As I'm scrolling through their website, a familiar voice catches my attention. The blinds are drawn but I would know that voice anywhere. Derek. "They're like little vampires. The suck you dry and then move onto the next place. They almost killed mom, I just- I wish they would just leave." A sigh is heard and then a feminine voice "Der, what's so bad about them? Truly. Addie hasn't spoken about them but has been really distracted. She's been doing that nervous tick where she stutters. So one of you better tell me what's going on."

I peer into the room and see Derek kissing a dirty blonde woman. His other wife. She's pretty. "They're the reason dad is dead. He would have sold his business and went into retirement but mom got pregnant with them. And since he had to work, he was there when he got robbed and shot. The twins were born early, nearly tearing mom in half and she couldn't even bear to look at them. None of us could. I know it's not a good excuse but I still blame them." He blames us for dad? That's why our family has treated us like shit for years? For something we couldn't control? My lip begins to quiver as I hold angry tears back. All those years of pain and neglect. Simply because we were born. Gods I can't let Lina know. It would break her. I hear Derek tell his wife bye and I duck my head behind my papers so he doesn't see me. After he walks away, I look around to make sure he's gone, then enter the room. The blonde quirks an eyebrow at me then her eyes widen "which one are you, Anastasia or Angelina?"

I let out a small chuckle "that obvious?" She shakes her head yes "you Shepherd's are like genetically engineered super models." I let out a cackle and hold out my hand to her, she takes it and gently shakes it "I'm Anastasia and thanks but more like genetically engineered assholes." She nods her head with a knowing smile "I'm Meredith Grey, your brother's second wife. Well second after Addison." My brows shoot up at her last name "like Ellis Grey?" She nods her head yes with a frown "oh I'm sorry. I didn't mean to dredge up bad memories. I'm sorry for your loss." She just sits there silently, eyeing me as if I might make a snarky remark. After a few beats of silence I break the tension. "O-kay. I'll let you get some rest now, I just wanted to introduce myself" I trail off before slipping out of her room. Addison is headed my direction but her attention is elsewhere when she spots me. I try to walk away faster, not wanting to speak to the redhead. "Anastasia!" I hear her call but ignore it until a cold hand grips my shoulder "Anastasia, wait!"

I swivel around face her "what do you want Addison?" Her mouth drops open but she doesn't say anything. Her eyes take in my form, as tears build and then spill over her cheeks. Her hand moves up to my hair and she tucks a lock of hair behind my ear. I flinch back at the contact and her face drops into a deep frown. "I'm sorry. Derek just told me why he dislikes you two. I know I should have asked him years ago but he's my husband. I trusted that he had a good excuse as to why he hated you both. I- I'm really sorry Ana" she mumbles.

Tears fill my eyes and I yank away from her touch "that doesn't make up for the years of torture from you and Derek. You both made Lina and I's life a living hell for years. Do you know how it feels to have your own family hate your existence? To want you dead? Because I do. I remember every time Derek said it should have been us that died. I remember every time we were left alone to fend for ourselves on every damn holiday. Do you know how it feels to wake up on Christmas as a child with not even a stocking? Because I do" I exasperate, as hot tears build in my eyes.

I slowly back away while making eye contact "I don't forgive you or Derek. And neither of you deserve Meredith." My eyes trail over to her room, where the blinds are wide open and she stands there watching. "She seems like a nice person and you two will destroy that, like you do everything else." I cut my eyes back to Addison as rage builds in my chest "You want to know why? Because you're fucking toxic. I will never forgive you Addison because you both killed a part of me. Literally!" I seethe, yanking my sleeves down to show the deep scars along my arms. Addisons eyes widen and she stutters, trying to grab my hand. "Please just leave us alone, especially Lina. She can't take much more. So if you want to bother anyone, go to Mallory but please leave us out of it. Because there's only so much I can take before I truly break." I quickly walk off, headed towards the nearest supply closet.

I shuffle into the nearest supply closet, trying to get away from not only Addison but the hostile Seattle Grace interns. Stupid assholes. Dr. Yang with her ugly attitude. Then Dr. Karev and Dr. Stevens with outward hostility for no fucking reason. I mean this a job, we shouldn't be fighting over peoples lives! I let out a loud sigh, raking my hand through my hair. The door slams open, making me jump and a black haired woman walks in speaking Spanish. "No puedo creer esto! No puede rezar para alejar a los gays" (I can't believe this. He can't pray the gay away.) I freeze at her words, thanking the gods I learned so many languages over the years. She moves back and forth, her dark blue scrubs swishing together. Ah definitely a Resident.

I step away from the dimly lit corner and ask "Hola? Estás bien?" (Hello? Are you ok?). Before she can answer me though, a blonde plows into the room next and grabs the brunette in front of me. "Oh Callie I just heard. What can I do to help- Oh! Hi, I'm Arizona Robins. You must be Anastasia! I met your sister Angelina, she's an absolute sweetheart and so nice to work with!" She sticks her hand out and I shake it with a smile. The black haired attending sticks her out with a sniffle "I'm Calliope Torres. Sorry I just needed a minute and didn't realize someone was already in here."

I shake my head "it's okay. I was just leaving. Had to get away from family. And a few of the residents. Are they all crazy?" I ask with a smirk and the two nod, both chucking. "But seriously, if you ever need to talk about tu familia siendo homofóbica, hágamelo saber. Or my sisters, we have a specialty in fucked up families" (your family being homophobic, let me know.) I add with a grin. Dr. Arizona looks confused but just shrugs her shoulders. While Calliope grins widely and nods her head "gracias." (Thank you.) I wave at them both and quickly leave the supply closet, walking towards the cafeteria for lunch.

I pass by the ER on my way to the cafeteria and spot Dr. Yang trying to show off her skills while the other Mercy West residents try to work around the others. Yang has a man that's bleeding from his leg while Jackson has a disgruntled patient yelling about his daughter and at Yang's patient. "My baby! She's my baby!" Jackson's patient yells. His baby? Like a child? My eyes bounce between the two patients as they yell at each other. A young woman, around twenty comes running in "Frank! Oh my god! Honey are you okay?" She kisses him and he holds her face in his plans with a smile "I'll be fine sweetheart." I smile at the two and the love they so obviously share when the curtains sling back from Jackson's patient. "Get off of her you perv! I'll kill you, you son of a bitch!" He yells at the two. Then picks up the hammer beside him and runs at the two. My eyes widen and I act on instinct, I run in front of the man and shove him back as hard as I can. He stumbles back with a grunt and swings his hammer back, ready to hit me. An orange blur goes by as Jackson tackles the man to the ground just before his hammer hits me.

My heart beats wildly as Jackson puts his knee into the guys back and hold his hands. The ER is quiet, will all eyes on us. Jackson's eyes snap up to mine "what were you thinking?! He could have killed you!" The officers cuff the man and claps rings out around us. Jackson ignores them though and pulls me away from the ER. My heart still beats wildly and my hands shake a bit from the adrenaline. "Hey, are you okay?" He asks gently, pulling me into another supply closet. I nod my head yes as he pulls me into a hug "you're shaking Ana. What's wrong?" I my shoulders at him "it's just adrenaline I think." He looks down at me unconvinced but nods his head. "Yeah, okay. You should go get some lunch then come back to the ER. Might help with the shakes." I look up at him with a small smile "thank you." He smiles at me and tucks my hair behind my ear, sending tingles along my skin "anytime sweetheart. Now back to kicking Yang's butt in the ER." He winks at me before slipping from the closet. Gods he's so attractive.

I shake my head and exit the closet before making my way down to the cafeteria where Angelina and Mallory both sit. I grab a strawberry salad with sunflower seeds, mozzarella, walnuts, and a balsamic vinaigrette dressing. Then get a large water bottle and a cup of ice, before settling down in between Angelina and Mallory. "How was your day so far?" I ask as I take a bite of salad. Angelina has her dyed, white-blonde hair tied back and is eating a salad with fresh salmon, avocado, and egg. Mallory shrugs her shoulders with her long red hair neatly braided down her back and is eating a caprese salad with bow tie pasta, mozzarella, baby tomatoes, and a pesto dressing.

Anastasia's lunch

Angelina's lunch

Mallory's lunch

   Mallory swallows her food then says "not too bad. Haven't had any problems yet. And I just heard about your man punching out a disgruntled patient. Now that was cool! What about you Lina? Dr. Hunt bothered you anymore?" My mouth drops open at how quickly gossip spreads and I thank the gods my name wasn't mentioned. Angelina shakes her head no "I've had a nice day actually. I got put in pediatrics with Dr. Robbins. She's so sweet and pretty." Her cheeks turn red and I smile "so you have a crush already? Thank gods I'm not the only one. That Jackson makes me all hot and bothered." I fan my face and pretend to faint into Mallory.

Mallory lets out loud giggles, pushing me off of her and Angelina sticks her tongue out "gross. But yes, I may have a tiny crush on her.. and her wife... and their husband Dr. Sloane. Anyways, how was your day?" I shake my head at my twin and her red cheeks before shrugging my shoulders "we will be speaking about that later. But I did meet Dr. Torres and Dr. Robbins they're both really cool. Though I didn't know they had a husband.  Anyways, I mostly just tried to stay away from the Seattle Grace interns. They're assholes." Mallory raises her fist and loudly yells "preach baby!" The table next to us, with Dr. Yang, Dr. Karev, Dr. Stevens, and their interns, including the really beautiful brunette, stares at us.

   Mallory flips them off with a large smirk before loudly asking "where are the Mercy West interns? Do they not eat lunch?" The table beside us stills before everyone races off, leaving their uneaten food. I have to hold back my giggles as I almost choke on my food.  "That was diabolical Mal.. I love it" I smirk. Angelina just shakes her head, reading a book as she eats "we're been making friends." Mallory and I both giggle before pulling her into a hug "all you need is us baby!" She shrieks but pulls us closer with a smile. "Oh by the way, I met Derek's other wife, Meredith Grey. Yep, that Grey. She's really nice" I state with a shrug, leaving out a few major details to spare my twins feelings. I can't let her break again. She won't make it this time. I shake the dark thoughts from my head and chat with my sisters. We quickly finish our lunches and get back to work. Mallory is with Dr. Hunt in the ER, while Angelina is still in pediatrics with Dr. Robbins. I get put with Dr. Torres in orthopedics and I couldn't be happier. I get to break bones and fix them!

Dr, Torres and I become rather close as the day progresses, having a lot in common. And I think I found my first friend here. We work most of the day on a particularly easy case as she leaves often to deal with family business. Though I think breaking bones is helping her get through the day. Actually, her and Mal would be great friends. The day flies by and soon I'm walking down the corridor to change. I pass a couple of interns before Dr. Karev runs into me yelling "watch it" and races into a room with Dr. Yang and Dr. Stevens. Stevens sits on the bed beside Yang and Meredith, who sends me a small wave. Stevens and Yang both narrow their eyes at me as the door shuts from Karev. They must be a tight friend group. My eyes trial past the room as I continue towards my stuff. I accidentally bump into someone but before I can apologize, I realize that someone is my brother.

  He grabs my arm tightly and shoves me into an empty room, closing the door and locking it behind him. My eyes dart around for exit but he's blocking it. The windows are all closed and the only way someone would find us is if I screamed. Stay calm. He can't hurt you anymore. I take a breath and straighten my back, willing my nerves to calm. I discreetly pull my phone out and hit the video button then shove it in the breast pocket of my jacket "what the fuck? Let me out. I have things to do." His face is set into a deep scowl as he rushes towards me, pushing me onto the bed and yells "why are you here?! Are you here to torture me some more?! You couldn't just leave it at killing dad, you have to torture the rest of too?!" I shield my face, readying myself for the blow but it doesn't happen. Instead he just stands there, looking at me with his chest rising and falling. "WELL ANSWER ME!" He screams and I flinch back. "We got offered a job and we wanted to get away from family. So trust me, if we knew you were here, we never would have fucking came" I growl out.

   I slowly slide off the bed and casually make my way to the door, hoping he won't stop me. My heart thunders in my chest and I feel my hands shaking. And as soon as I touch the doorknob, he's there. He steps in front of the door, yanking my hand away and towers over me  "I swear to god, I'll end you all if you ruin my life now. Got it?" He threatens. My heart beats rapidly as a rush of adrenaline hits me and I'm consumed with anger. I shove him away with a snarl "fuck you Derek." His face turns a dark red and I put on a nasty smirk before taunting him "Actually, it's no wonder you came here Der, there's so many pretty, stupid people. Just like you. Say, how long is this relationship going to last? Long enough to get another woman entrapped huh? I mean Meredith is so much nicer than you and Addison, how long will she stay around? Until you get bored, just like you did with Addison? You're pathetic!"

    His eyes snap down to me and he screams before shoving everything off of the sterile tray, towards me. I back up, dodging the flying objects and bump against the bed. Sharp things fly in every direction and supplies scatter along the floor. A scalpel flings my direction, embedding itself in my thigh and I hold back a scream. Hot pain radiates through my thigh and tears prick my eyes. Derek races up to me and grabs my face roughly in his hands, making me face him "I didn't come here for the pretty people, I came here to get away from family! And don't talk about my wives that way! They're both ten times the person you'll ever be!" He pushes me away, flinging me down to the ground. "Leave my family alone.. or else" he growls out before slamming the door shut.

I look down at the scalpel in my thigh and the room around me. I touch around the scalpel, sucking in a breath at the pain. Superficial wound thank the gods. Now to fix this. I look around the room, trying to find something helpful. There's scissors sticking out of the bed above me and cotton wraps along the floor. Smaller metal instruments are spread around the room and one of the blinds is hanging sideways from the weight of the metal tray that hangs from it. How in the hell did no one hear that?

I gently lift myself up on the bed, grabbing the wrap and a few sterile pads. I clean the wound before pulling out the scalpel and apply pressure. I then pull down my pants enough to dress the wound and wrap my leg. Once the gauze is secure, I fix my pants and clean up the room. I exit quietly, taking my phone out and sending the video to the only person I can trust it with. My phone immediately rings with phone call and tears prick my eyes. I send a text to Angelina and Mallory, telling them to meet me at Webber's office. Then I grab my stuff and head up to Chief Webbers office. I knock once and hear a 'come in.'

He takes in my disgruntled state and stands up. I catch a look at myself in the mirror and have to hold back a gasp. My face has angry red handprints on them where Derek grabbed me and a few small cuts. Blood runs down my pants and is smudged on my shirt. Thank gods it didn't get on my white coat. That would be tragic. "What happened to you?" He asks, helping me sit. He crouches beside me and I look out his window to see Derek on the catwalk with his wife Addison and Meredith. The three look happy and relaxed. My mind runs a mile a minute, still full of adrenaline and anger builds in my chest. Why should they get to be happy?

   With Derek's threat still in my mind and my anxiety bubbling over, I turn to Webber. "I want to press charges against Derek Shepherd and have him immediately removed from the hospital" I state, my eyes darting in between the chief and Derek. Chief Webber goes to respond but his phone rings instead "hold on." He answers and I can hear a familiar voice "ho-hold on. I will put you on speaker." Chief sighs before a stern voice yells "this is Catherine Avery and I know you damn well know who I am. So let's cut to the chase, I want Derek Shepherd fired immediately."

But I didn't think I'd burn everything I loved along the way

Authors note: Whew that was a long ass chapter! But I wanted it to flow well and go along with the series as much as possible.

• How did you like this chapter and the new edits? I wanted to try and add a few more details so the next chapter flowed a bit better.

• Why do you think Dr. Hunt is being so creepy?

• How do we feel about the flirting with Jackson already? Because I have so much planned with them.

• What about her little flirting moments with Lexi? I want that one to take a bit longer. I feel like she will be a bit apprehensive with her sister being with Derek.

• Do you think Derek's reason for hating the girls makes sense? Or is there more to the story?

• Who is your favorite OC so far and why? I personally love Mallory. Shes such a sassy bitch.

• How do you think Anastasia knows Catherine?

• And finally, what would yall like to see in future chapters?
