Chapter Ten: Co-Captain
We win the game and the team goes in the locker room yelling and celebrating. "Stiles. Stiles! Has anyone seen Stiles? Stiles! Has anyone seen Stiles?" Scott asked and him and Allison bump into each other. "Uh, you were - pretty awesome out there." Allison said "Thanks. You too. I mean - that's not what I meant." Scott said "No, no, I - did some pretty awesome cheering. You can thank me." Allison said "You did?" Scott asked "Totally. I went from, "go, team, go, to "defense, defense," without a - a breath. I brought my A game." Allison said and Brian got in between Scott and Allison. "State, state, state, state -" Brian said before he walks away because of the look Scott was giving him. I see Allison being walked out the room by Chris.
Jackson walks over to us. "Oh, isn't that just heartbreaking? Gosh, I bet it causes a lot of sleepless nights. You know what, though, McCall? I actually sympathize, which is why I'm gonna make this mutually beneficial. You give me what I want - and, uh, I'll help you get her back." Jackson said "What?" Scott asked "Well, three days makes it just in time for the winter formal. Uh, think about you taking her instead of me. And also think about all the things you' have to do to get her out of some tight little dress by the end of the night. See how this could work out for everybody? Three days, McCall. Have fun." Jackson said as he hits Scott on the face. "I'm going to go change and everything then I'll meet you in the locker room." I say and Scott nods.

I walk back into the locker room as Scott walks back to his locker. I sit on the bench before laying back staring at the ceiling waiting on Scott. "By the way, McCall - Apology accepted." Danny said "I didn't apologize." Scott said "Every time you got the ball tonight, you passed it to me." Danny said "Every time I passed the ball to you, you scored." Scott said "Apology accepted." Danny said and I hear him walk out. Scott grabs his spray when the lights go out and I sit up. Scot puts the cap back on the spray and sits it back in his locker.
"Danny?" Scott starts walking so I follow behind him. He tries to turn the lights back on but they don't turn on. A ball rolls across the floor. "What the hell -" Scott grabs the ball and we turn the corner and I see Derek. But I also feel another presence near us. "Thank God! Where the hell have you been? Do you have any idea what's been going on?" Scott asked as he walks closer to Derek. The other person takes that opportunity to step out from beside the locker. "I really don't get Lacrosse." Peter said which causes me to back up away from him. "It was you -" Scott said "When I was in high school, we played basketball. There's a real sport. Still, I read somewhere that Lacrosse comes from native Americans tribes and that they played it to resolve conflict. I have that right? Hm. I have l little conflict of my own to resolve, Scott. But I need your help to do it." Peter said "I'm not helping you kill people." Scott said "Well, I don't want to kill all of them. Just the responsible ones. And that doesn't have to include -" Peter said before looking at Derek.
"Allison." Derek said "You're on his side? Are you forgetting the part where he killed your sister?" Scott asked "It was a mistake." Derek said "What?" Scott and I ask in sync. "It happens." Derek said "The hell?" I ask "Scott - I think you're getting the wrong impression of us. We really just want to help you reach your full potential." Peter alas "By killing my friends." Scott said "Sometimes the people closest to you - can be the ones holding you back the most." Peter said "If they're holding me back from becoming a psychotic nut job like you, I'm okay with that." Scott said and Peter walks closer to Scott which makes me start to walk forward but Derek grabs my arm stopping me. "Maybe - you could try and see things - from my perspective." Peter said stabbing Scott in the back of the neck with his claws. Peter walks away and Scott falls to the ground. Derek let's me go so I rush over to Scott.
Scott and I are sitting on the bench when Stiles comes running. "Dude, we have a huge problem." Stiles said "Trust me - we know." Scott said

Stiles pulls up beside of Jackson's Porsche where Jackson and Chris were standing beside. Stiles stops which causes us to jerk backwards. I lean up between the seats. "Yo." Scott said "What's up?" Stiles said "Is everything okay?" I ask "Hey, Scott. Your friend, here, was having car trouble. We're just taking a look." Chris said "There's a shop right down the street. I'm sure they have a tow truck." Scott said "Yeah. You want a ride?" Scott opens his door. "Hey, come on, Jackson. You're way too pretty to be out here all by yourself." Stiles said and Scott gave Jackson a look which causes him to nod and walk towards the Jeep. Scott gets out of the Jeep and I watch as Chris reaches towards something in the car taking it out putting it in his pocket before closing the back.
"Hey, boys." Chris starts the car. "Told you I knew a few things about cars." Chris said making me scoff. As soon as Chris is out of sight Jackson looks at Scott. "What, are you following me, now?" Jackson asked and Stiles and I got out of the car. "Yes, you stupid fucking idiot. You almost gave away everything, right there." I say "What are you talking about?" Jackson asked "He thinks you're the third beta." I say "What?" Jackson asked "What you want all these powers and don't know shit about them?" I ask "He thinks you're me!" Scott exclaimed before hitting Stiles' jeep. "Dude, my jeep." Stiles said "I can hear your heart beating from a mile away - literally! Now he thinks that there's something wrong, and now I have to keep an eye on you so he doesn't kill you too!" Scott exclaimed before going back towards Stiles' jeep. I quickly grab Scott's arm pulling him back.
"Okay, how about we step away from Stiles' Jeep." Stiles said looking at me with a grateful look. "This is your problem, not mine, okay? I didn't say anything, which means you're the one that's gonna get me killed. Okay, this is your fault." Jackson said pushing Scott into Stiles' Jeep. "Can we stop hitting my jeep?" Stiles asked I push myself in between Scott and Jackson staring down Jackson with a glare. "This isn't Scott's fault. This is yours and you know what? The Argent already killed humans and children so what's one more?" I say and my eyes glow. I push Jackson back and that's when Stiles jumps in pushing us both back. "Yo, all right, yo, guys, stop. All right?" Stiles asked
"When they come after you, I won't be able to protect you. I can't protect anyone." Scott said "Why are you looking at me?" Stiles asked "You know, now you have to do it. Get me what I want, and I will be fine protecting myself." Jackson said "No, you won't! Just trust me. All it does is make things worse." Scott said "Oh, yeah, really? You can hear anything you want and run faster than humanly possible. Sounds like a real hardship, McCall." Jackson said "Yeah, I can run really fast now - Except half the time, I'm running away from people trying to kill me! And I can hear things like - like my girlfriend telling people that she doesn't trust me anymore right before breaking up with me. I'm not lying to you! It - ruins your life." Scott said "It ruined your life. You had all the power in the world, and you didn't know what to do with it. You know what it's actually like? It's like you turned 16 and someone bought you a Porsche when they should have started you out with a nice little Honda. Me? I drive a Porsche." Jackson said and he drives away.

Jackson was working out listening to music and Derek cut the music off. We were sitting beside the speaker. "What the hell? Hey." Jackson said "I like your taste in music. I haven't heard this one - in a long time." Derek said playing the song he was looking at on Jackson's phone. Jackson picks up his lacrosse stick. "I'm not scared of you." Derek and I stand up walking towards Jackson. "Come on. I'm not afraid." Jackson said "Yeah. You are. You know, I bet you haven't had a day in your whole life - where you haven't been afraid of something. But you won't have to be anymore. Not when you're one of us." Derek said

All three of us walk towards the Hale House. "This is it? This is the place?" Jackson asked "Go ahead." Derek said and Jackson starts walking towards the house before he stops and looks back at us. "Is it safe? I don't want rafters falling on my head." Jackson said "Go in." Derek said and Jackson starts walking again and Derek and I follow him. Jackson starts again and we motion for him to keep walking. Jackson stops at the door. "What's in here?" Jackson asked "Everything you want." Jackson opens the door and Derek puts his hand on Jackson's shoulder. "It's gonna be all right. Trust me." Derek said and we walk in the house with Derek shutting the door behind me.
"This house - It's the same h - house." Jackson said "What'd you say?" Derek and I ask in sync. "I've dreamt about this place. I - I remember the staircase. I remember these - these walls. I remember - everything." Jackson said "You've been here?" Derek asked "No, never. I dreamt it. There's no one else here, and no one else is coming?" Derek shook his head and then made his claws come out. Jackson falls against the stairs. "No, please - Please don't, okay? I'll shut up - I'll never say another word again. I'll leave Scott alone. Please, you can't do this! Please! I - I don't deserve it." Jackson said "I think you do." Derek said "N - no!" Jackson said "Look around you! Wouldn't there be someone here trying to save you? There's no one here. There is a reason. No one cares that you drive an expensive car. No one cares that you have perfect hair, and no one cares that you're captain of the lacrosse team." Derek said
"Excuse me." We all look up at the sound of Scott's voice. "Co - captain." Scott jumps down the stairs and in front of Derek and I. He looks back at Jackson and I see that Scott is turned so Derek turns. "Move!" Derek said "No." Scott said Fine. I'll kill you too." I hear a whistling sound. "Cover your eyes!" Derek shouts and drops to the floor dragging me with him. A bang goes off which messes with Scott. Jackson moves away. I see Scott get shot. Scott falls to the ground and I see him bleeding and coughing up black blood. "Scott! Go!" I yell pointing from beside Derek. The gunfire continues and that's when I make my decision. I stand up quickly and run over to Scott. I help Scott up to his feet. "Run!" I yell Derek and I walk over to the door and stand behind the door. Derek opens the door and we both go stand on the porch and roar at the people outside.

Derek and I are locked up against something in the basement of the Hale House with weird attached to our sides that can electrocute us. Derek is shirtless and I only have my bra on.I heard two sets of footsteps coming towards us. The footsteps stop at the sliding door. "What is this place?" Allison asked "Fuck." I say and I turn into my werewolf form. "Let's start with the basics. You know how every family has its secrets? Ours is a little different." Kate opens the door and she walks in towards the light. I see Allison hesitantly walking in the room. Allison keeps walking in the room slowly. Kate turns the light on and Derek and I who is also turned growls at them. Allison gasps in shock. "Aren't they beautiful?" Kate asked as we keep growling and roaring that them.
