The Tree House

Derek Hale has a secret, something he’s never told anyone. Shortly after his family was murdered, he’d sneak into the woods when his sister was asleep, deep down into the depths that people didn't often venture into, and built a tree house. It took him almost a year to finish it, but he did. After that, it became his safe haven, his personal sanctuary away from the world. He’d go there to think, or get away, or anything at all when life got good, or bad, or anything in-between. He has a close connection to the place and has shared every moment with it.
