I get woken up by the Alpha howling and a gunshot. I use my werewolf speed to quickly get to where the noises were coming from. I see Chris Argent and his sister, Kate. "Get in." Chris said "Not even "hello," "nice to see you"?" Kate asked "All I've got at the moment is 'please put the assault rifle away before someone notices.'" Chris said "That's the brother I love. Chris, there were two of 'em." Kate said "The Alpha?" Chris asked "I don't know, but one of them tried to kill me -" Kate said but was cut off by Chris. "One of them is gonna lead us to the other. He can't do that if he's dead." Chris said "Well, I can't help kill either of them if one of them kills me first." Kate said "How long will it take?" Chris asked "Give him 48 hours - If that." Kate said and I pale not knowing wether she's taking about Derek or the Alpha.

I was sitting beside Stiles who was sitting behind Scott. "If Derek isn't the Alpha, if he's not the one who bit you two, then who did?" Stiles asked "I don't know." Scott said "Did the Alpha kill the bus driver?" Stiles asked "I don't know." Scott said "Does Allison's dad know about the Alpha?" Stiles asked "I don't know!" Scott exclaimed and everyone looked back at us. The teacher is passing out graded tests. He hands me mine and I have an A. I see Scott get handed his and it says D. "Jeez." Scott said "Dude, you need to study more. That was a joke. Scott, it's one test. You're gonna make it up. Do you want help studying?" Stiles asked

"No. I'm studying with Allison after school today." Scott said "That's my boy." Stiles said "We're just studying." Scott said "Uh, no, you're not." Stiles said "No, I'm not?" Scott asked "Not if I'm forced to live vicariously through you. If you go to her house today and squander that colossal opportunity, I swear to God I'll have you de - balled." Stiles said "Okay. Just - Stop with the questions, man." Scott said "Done. No more questions. No more talk about the Alpha or Derek. Especially Derek - who still scares me." Stiles said causing me to laugh.

I was walking in the hallway when my werewolf ears picked something up. "Where's Scott or Hayley McCall?" Derek asked "Why should I tell you?" Jackson asked and I speed walk towards where I hear them. "Because I asked you politely, and I only do that once." Derek said "Hmm. Okay, tough guy. You know, how about I help you find him if you tell me what you're selling him? What is it? Is it, uh, Dianabol? Hmm? HGH?" Jackson asked "Steroids." Derek said "No, girl scout cookies. What the hell do you think I'm talking about? Oh, and, uh, by the way, whatever it is you're out selling, I'd probably stop sampling the merchandise. You look wrecked." Jackson said causing me to get worried. "I'll find him myself." Derek said "No, we're not done -" Jackson said and I turn the corner to see Derek holding Jackson to his locker with his claws in Jackson's neck.

"Dere!" I yell and he turns to look at me as I walk closer to them. "Hayley, we have a problem." Derek said "What's wrong?" I ask as I help him walk away from Jackson. "I was shot by a wolfsbane bullet. It's killing me." Derek said "Let's get you out to Stiles' Jeep and we can take you somewhere till Scott can get the bullet." I say and he nods. I help him walk until we're outside in front of Stiles' Jeep where Derek falls. "Oh, my God. You've gotta be kidding me. This guy's everywhere -" Stiles said and Scott comes running towards us. "What the hell? What are you doing here?" Scott asked "I was shot." Derek said

"He's not looking so good, dude." Stiles said "Why aren't you healing?" Scott asked "I can't. It was - it was a different kind of bullet." Derek said "A silver bullet?" Stiles asked "No, you idiot." I say "Wait, wait. That's what she meant when she said you had 48 hours." Scott said
"What? Who - who said 48 hours?" Derek asked looking at me. "The one who shot you." Scott said "Kate." I say and Derek's eyes start shining their blue color. I quickly move in front of his eyes so no one can see them. "What are you doing? Stop that!" Scott exclaimed "I'm trying to tell you, I can't!" Derek said "Derek, get up!" We get him up and walk towards the Jeep. "Help me to put him in your car." Scott said and I quickly jump in the backseat and help from there. Scott stands at the window when we get Derek in the Jeep. "I need you to find out what kind of bullet they used." Derek said "How the hell am I supposed to do that?" Scott asked "'Cause she's an Argent. She's with them." I say "Why should I help you?" Scott asked causing me to roll my eyes. "Because you need me." Derek said "Fine. I'll try. Hey get him out of here." Scott said "I hate you for this so much." Stiles said

"Hey, try not to bleed out on my seats, okay? We're almost there." Stiles said "Almost where?" Derek asked "Your house." Stiles said "What? No, you can't take me there." Derek said "I can't take you to your own house?" Stiles asked "Not when I can't protect myself." Derek said "All right. What happens if Scott doesn't find your little magic bullet? Hmm? Are you dying?" Stiles asked "Not yet. I have a last resort." Derek said "What do you mean? What last resort?" Derek pulls up his sleeve showing the bullet wound and honestly it looks horrible.
"Oh, my God. What is that? Oh, is that contagious?" Stiles pulls over. "You know what, you should probably just get out." Stiles said "Start the car. Now." Derek said "I don't think you should be barking orders with the way you look, okay? In fact, I think if I wanted to, I could probably drag your little werewolf ass out into the middle of the road and leave you for dead." Stiles said "Start the car, or I'm gonna rip your throat out - With my teeth." Derek said

Stiles is on the phone with Scott. "What am I supposed to do with him?" Stiles asked "Take him somewhere, anywhere." Scott said "And, by the way, he's starting to smell." Stiles said causing Derek to glare at him. "Like - like what?" Scott asked "Like death." Stiles said "Okay, take him to the animal clinic." Scott said causing me to face palm. "What about your boss?" Stiles asked "He's gone by now. There's a spare key in the box behind the dumpster." Scott said and Stiles looks at Derek. "You're not gonna believe where he's telling me to take you." Stiles said and Derek took the phone out of his hand.

"Did you find it?" Derek asked "How am I supposed to find one bullet? They have a million. This house is like - the fricken Walmart of guns." Scott said "Look, if you don't find it, then I'm dead, all right?" Derek asked "I'm starting to think that wouldn't be such a bad thing." Scott said and I growled loudly. I moved Derek's hand closer to me. "Scott, if you don't get that damn bullet then I will break into her house and get it myself, and I don't promise that your little girlfriend and her murdering family will be alive by the end of it." I say and Stiles looks at me terrified. And also think about this. The Alpha called you out against your will. He's gonna do it again. Next time you either kill with him or you get killed. So if you wanna stay alive, then you need me. Find the bullet." Derek said

We got Derek into the animal clinic when Stiles gets a text. "Does Northern blue monkshood mean anything to you?" Stiles asked "It's a rare form of wolfsbane. He has to bring me the bullet." Derek said "Why?" Stiles asked "'Cause he's gonna die without it." I say "Okay. You know, that really doesn't look like anything some echinacea and a good night of sleep couldn't take care of." Stiles said "When the infection reaches my heart, it'll kill me." Derek said "'Positivity' just isn't in your vocabulary, is it?" Stiles asked "If he doesn't get here with the bullet in time - Last resort." Derek said and he goes towards one of the drawers . "Which is?" Stiles asked "You're gonna cut off my arm." Derek said putting a bone saw on the table.

"Oh, my God. What if you bleed to death?" Stiles asked "It'll heal if it works." Derek said "Ugh. Look - I don't know if I can do this." Stiles said "Why not?" Derek asked "Well, because of the cutting through the flesh, the sawing of the bone, and especially the blood!" Stiles exclaimed "You faint at the sight of blood?" Derek asked "No, but I might at the sight of a chopped - off arm!" Stiles exclaimed "All right, fine. How about this? Either you cut off my arm, or I'm gonna cut off your head." Derek said "Okay, you know what, I'm so not buying your threats any -" Stiles is cut off by Derek pulling him across the table. "Oh, my God. Okay. All right, bought, sold. Totally. I'll do it. I'll do it." Stiles said and Derek let's him go before leaning over.

"What? What are you doing? Holy God, what the hell is that?" Stiles asked as Derek threw up black blood. "It's my body - Trying to heal itself." Derek said "Well, it's not doing a very good job of it." Stiles said and I glare at him. "Now. You gotta do it now." Derek said "Look, honestly, I don't think I can." Stiles said "Just do it!" Derek exclaimed "Oh, my God. Okay, okay. Oh, my God. All right, here we go!" Stiles said putting the saw on Derek's arm. "Stiles!" Scott exclaimed coming in the room. "Scott?" Stiles and I ask in sync. "What the hell are you doing?" Scott asked "Oh, you just prevented a lifetime of nightmares." Stiles said

"Did you get it?" Derek asked taking the bullet. "What are you gonna do with it?" Stiles asked "I'm gonna - I'm gonna -" Derek passes out dropping the bullet. "Fuck." I say dropping down beside of Derek. "No. No, no, no, no." Scott said going for the bullet. "Derek. Derek, come on, wake up. Scott, what the hell are we gonna do?" Stiles asked "I don't know! I can't reach it." Scott said "Use your claws!" I yell at him. "He's not waking up!" Stiles exclaimed "Come on." Scott said "I think he's dying. I think he's dead!" Stiles exclaimed "He's not dead." I say "Just hold on! Come on. Oh! I got it! I got it!" Scott yelled and I turn to Derek. "Please don't kill me for this." I say and punch Derek in the face waking him. Derek gets up.

"Give me -" Derek said taking the bullet from Scott. Derek puts the gunpowder from the bullet on the wound. Derek falls to the floor in pain. "God - That - Was - Awesome! Yes!" Stiles said and I look at him. "Are you okay?" I ask "Well, except for the agonizing pain." Derek said "I'm guessing the ability to use sarcasm is a good sign of health." Stiles said "Okay, we saved your life, which means you're gonna leave us alone, stay away from my sister, you got that? And if you don't, I'm gonna go back to Allison's dad, and I'm gonna tell him everything -" Scott said causing me to scoff. "You're gonna trust them?" I ask "You think they can help you?" Derek asked "Well, why not? They're a lot freaking nicer than you are." Scott said causing me to scoff. "We can show you exactly how nice they are." I say "What do you mean?" Scott asked

Once Derek stops at where Peter is Scott helps me out the back of the car. "What are we doing here?" Scott asked and we walk inside to Peters room. "Who is he?" Scott asked "My uncle. Peter Hale." Derek said "Is he - like you, a werewolf?" Scott asked "He was. Now he's barely even human." I say "Six years ago, my sister and I were at school, and our house caught fire. 11 people were trapped inside. He was the only survivor." Derek said "So - What makes you so sure that they set the fire?" Scott asked "'Cause they're the only ones that knew about us." Derek said

"Well, then - They had a reason." Scott said causing me to scoff. "Like what? You tell me what justifies this." Derek moves Peters head showing his burn. "They say they'll only kill an adult, and only with absolute proof, but there were people in my family that were perfectly ordinary in that fire." Derek said "This is what they do. And it's what Allison will do." I say "What are you doing? How did you get in here?" Peters nurse asked from the door. "We were just leaving." Derek said
