^ Because they were scared and confused. They didn't mean to betray him, but at the end of the day they're just teenagers. All Erica wants to do is get her license. Poor girls, but instead she's being hunted down and finds herself running in the woods a lot lately. She was captured and has been more life or death situations than I can count. They only left because they thought they were protecting themselves. They're not adults, they aren't used to this kind of lifestyle yet. They aren't traitorous and out of control. Thy did everything Derek told them to do and obeyed his every command. They never questioned anything or gave lip, so excuse them for wanting to feel safe. They obviously weren't pleased with his leadership skills and didn't feel safe under his protection and care. Why on earth would anyone stay someplace thy personally don't feel safe in?
