Chapter Six: Heart Monitor
Scott and I walk out onto parking deck 3 trying to find the car with arms full of grocery bags. "Damn it." Scott said when he doesn't see the car because he forgot where we parked. I knew where the car was but I was letting him walk trying to find it because I was still pissed at him because of the whole thing with Noah at the school. We go to level 4 and start walking trying to find the car. When we still couldn't find the car, Scott set the bags down and got the car keys out of his pocket. The car alarm goes off above us. The milk rolls out of a bag and under a car. "Oh, crap." Scott said and he goes after it. The bottle rolls under the car and then rolls back leaking milk. "The hell?" I ask even though I knew Derek was fucking with Scott. Scott looks up and quickly grabs my hand causing me to drop the bags and we run through the parking deck.
We continue running until we reach level 3 and we hide behind separate cars. I lean against the car sitting there waiting on Scott to calm down because he thinks it's the alpha. I look over at Scott and get his attention. "On top of the car's opposite sides." I mouth to him and he nods. I run jumping on the cars and he follows on the opposite side causing the alarms to go off. We make it to level 2 and I run faster then Scott, and I go to one car and Scott goes to another and when Derek finds us, he will go to Scott first. Scott's phone starts ringing and it almost causing me to start laughing because I know exactly who it was. "No. No, stop." Scott said trying to get to his phone. I hear a thud on Scott's car and I smell Derek so I get up from behind the car that I was behind and walk to the car that Scott and Derek are at. Derek grabs Scott and slams him down against the car that Derek was standing on. "You're dead." Derek said
We're walking around the parking garage and Scott speaks up. "What the hell was that?" Scott asked "Said he was gonna teach you. He didn't say when." I say "You knew it was him?" Scott asked "I could smell that it was him. If you used your senses then you would've known, you dumbass." I say "You scared the crap out of me!" Scott said ignoring what I said. "Not yet." Derek said "Okay, but I was fast, right?" Scott asked "Not fast enough." I say "But the car alarm thing that Lia did, that was smart, right?" Scott asked "Till your phone rang." I say "Yeah, but that was... I mean... Would you just stop? Please?" Derek and I stop and turn to look at him. "What happened the other night, Stiles' dad almost getting hurt, that was my fault." I roll my eyes at how loud he was being. "I should have been there to do something. I need you to teach me how to control this." Scott said "You haven't even given into the wolf part of you yet. How the hell do you expect him to help you control it when you can't even embrace you who are?" I ask "Look, I am what I am because of birth. You were bitten. Teaching someone who was bitten takes time. Mia was easy to teach because of the time she spent around my family as a child. I don't even know if I can teach you." Derek said "What do I have to do?" Scott asked "You have to get rid of distractions." I take his phone out of his hand. "You see this?" I show him the missed call from Allison. "This is why Derek caught you. You want Derek and I to teach you? Get rid of her." I say "What, just because of her family?" Scott asked and I smirk a little at the plan forming in my head. Derek looks at me and smirks when he sees the look on my face. I show Scott his phone and turn towards the wall.
"Wait, wait, wait... Whoa!" Scott exclaimed and I throw his phone against the wall and it smashed to pieces. "Whoa! That felt amazing!" I feel Scott's anger rising and I look at Derek and I smirk. "You getting angry? That's your first lesson. You want to learn how to control this, how to shift, you do it through anger, by tapping into a primal animal rage, and you can't do that with her around." I say standing to my full height in case Scott challenges me because by the look in his eyes he's pissed. "I can get angry." Scott said "Not angry enough! This is the only way that we can teach you. Now, can you stay away from her? At least until after the full moon?" Derek asked and I scoff. "Fucking good luck with that. He's fucking addicted." I say "If that's what it takes." Scott said "Do you want to live? Do you want to protect your friends? Not that you have many. Yes or no?" I ask "Yes. If you both can teach me, I can stay away from her." Scott said and I roll my eyes not believing him.

I'm in my room waiting on Scott because Derek had filled me in on the alpha situation at the Argents house when I hear Scott come in his room shutting his door and window. All I could smell was Allison and Scott's fear. I quickly and quietly get up and walk to the door opening it quietly and walking to his bed sitting down and I feel Derek sitting in the chair beside Scott's bed. Scott turns the lamp that is beside his window on jumping back when he sees Derek and I. "You two seriously need to stop doing that." Scott said "So what happened? Did he talk to you?" I ask "Yeah. We had a nice conversation about the weather." I give him a look. "No, he didn't talk!" Scott said "Well, did you get anything off of him? An impression?" Derek asked "What do you mean?" Scott asked and Derek stood up. "Remember, your other senses are heightened. Communication doesn't have to be spoken. What kind of feeling did you get from him?" Derek asked "Anger." Scott said "Focused on you?" I ask "No, not... Not me. But it was definitely anger. I could feel it. Especially when he drew the spiral." Scott said "Wait, the what? What'd you just say?" Derek and I ask in sync looking at each other than at Scott. "He drew this spiral on the window of my car, in the condensation, you know? What? You both have this look like you know what it means." Scott said "No, it's.... It's nothing." Derek said and he and I both go to leave the room but Scott stops us. "Wait, wait, wait, wait a second. You both can't do that. You can't ask me to trust you and then just keep things to yourself." Scott said "Doesn't mean anything." I say and I unlock his door from where I locked it. "You and Derek buried his sister under a spiral. What does it mean?" Scott asked "You don't want to know." Derek and I say in sync before leaving his room.

I pull up to where Peter was a resident at and cut the car off and just sit there. "Come on Amelia, he's the same person who saved your life when you were 11 years old. He's the same person who you grew up around. But then again he's a psycho murdering werewolf." I say to myself before forcing myself out of the car and walking inside and Jennifer his nurse sees me. "Here to see Peter again?" Jennifer asked "Yes ma'am." I say "Alright, you know the way I imagine." Jennifer says and I nod. I go to his room and I shut the door when I get in his room. I stand in front of him and he doesn't move and just sits there causing part of me to think I'm wrong. "You can drop the act Peter it's just me." I say and he turns to look at me. "I knew you would figure it out, Little One." Peter said "You know I've had thoughts running through my head since you exposed yourself to me. Like why kill Laura, your niece? Why bite me and my brother? Why try to force Scott to be your beta but not force me? Why did you leave a spiral on my brothers window outside the Argents house? I would appreciate answers Peter." I say pacing as I ask them and he stands up causing me to stop moving and look at him.
He laughs. "Like I said you haven't changed. But I will answer your questions. The reason I bit you was because that was the plan all along. Talia and I had talked it through and you knew about us, you knew about the hunters, you knew about the surrounding packs and we had a plan that we would give you until your sixteenth birthday that if you hadn't asked Talia before that then she would bite you and turn you, making you one of us to limit the chances of you saying something to anyone. Not that any of us believed that you would and that's why we exposed ourselves to you. But you knew Talia, she wanted to take precautions about everything and didn't want to risk our exposure because of Cora befriending a human girl." I look at him shocked about to say something but the stops me. "Don't interrupt me. Now why I bit your brother was merely because he was in the area when I bit you and you know that an alpha is stronger with a pack." I nod. "The reason I am forcing your brother and not you is because I knew from the start that your brother would need more persuasion then you would to join my side once you knew what my reasoning was. The reason I left a spiral on your brothers window was because I knew it would hopefully clue you and Derek into why I was doing what I was doing. By the looks of it it mainly clued you into it. I am getting revenge on the Argents for what they did to us and our family in the fire." Peter said and I stand there letting everything sink in for a second.
"You didn't tell me why you killed Laura." I say
"Taking her alpha spark completely healed me so I could complete what Talia and I wanted to do with you aka turn you and get revenge on the Argents for what they did to us." Peter said "When the time comes, I want to be the one to slice my claws across Kate Argents neck." I say "Deal." Peter said smirking. "So you and Talia agreed to turn me when I was sixteen unless I asked her to do it earlier?" I ask trying to let everything sink in. "Yes. Talia and I discussed it not long after you saw what Derek did to Paige. When we saw you comfort Derek and become his anchor instead of running away screaming, we knew we didn't have anything to worry about. We thought if you were like us, then you would be safer around us even with hunters. I thought you should be turned when you were a child and Talia thought you should be turned when you were sixteen, so you had a normal childhood and we argued over when she should turn you. Obviously she won that argument." Peter said "I will help with the revenge on the Argents but if you try and hurt my friends, my brother, Derek or anyone else I care about and I will kill you." I say "Are you threatening me, little one?" Peter asked "No Uncle Peter, it's a promise." I smile innocently before walking out of his room and out of the door. "Good night, Jennifer." I say as I walk past her desk. "Night Amelia." Jennifer said as I walk out the door.
I quickly walk to my car and get in the car and back out and drive away from Peters hearing distance in the hopes that he didn't follow me. I pull out my phone as I'm driving and speed dial Derek's number. "Hey, Mia. What's up?" Derek asked "Our spot in 20. Important." I say "Mia, what's wrong?" Derek asked "Just get there, Derek. I'll tell you when you meet me there." I say hanging up. I drive until I get to the old abandoned distillery where when I was younger before the fire, Cora and I would come hang out here with our friend Theo, before Theo moved away because his sister died. The only people that knew about this place as our hangout was Cora, Theo, Derek, Talia and myself.
-time skip-
Derek and I walk up to the distillery at the same time. We walk in the distillery and he turns to me. "Now will you tell me what is so important that you felt the need to have us go all the way out here?" Derek asked "I don't know how to say this so I'm just going to say it. I know who the alpha is and your not going to like it when I tell you who it is." I say "Well, who it is? And how do you know?" Derek asked "I'll tell you how I know first. Then I'll tell you who it is. And don't interrupt me because it's a lot of information." He nods. "So it started the night of the attack at the video store. I was in the back when the attack happened so I didn't hear anything and only came out because I felt the hairs on the back of my neck stand up and then, heard Jackson when I took my earbuds out of my ears and went to help him. Well we heard growling and I instantly knew it was the alpha. Jackson and I hid behind the movie shelves before the alpha knocked them over causing Jackson to get pinned but I was able to roll out of the way. That's when the alpha crawled on top of the shelf that Jackson was under and I warned him to stay away from Jackson. He said to me "Do you really think you can take me on? All by yourself?" Which to that I said "Let's find out." And then he said something to me that completely shocked me and it caused him to get away." I say "What did he say?" Derek asked
"He said to me "You haven't changed at all, little one." Only one person has called me that in all of the 16 years that I have been alive. I hadn't heard that nickname in the last 6 years until that night. Derek, you know exactly who called me that nickname. The pieces didn't start to come together until he drew the spiral on Scott's window at the Argent house. The nickname, and the spiral brought the pieces together. So I went to visit him tonight and a part of me was hoping that he didn't move like he has for the last 6 years but as soon as I told him to drop the act, he did. Derek, the alpha is Peter." I say "He hasn't moved in 6 years and suddenly he's the alpha. It makes no sense." Derek said "I know it doesn't. But he is the alpha, Dere. He got up and stood right in front of me. He told me why he killed Laura, why he turned Scott and I, why he's forcing Scott but not me, and why he drew the spiral." I say "What was his reasons?" Derek asked
"He said that killing Laura and taking her alpha spark helped to heal him. He told me that he turned me because he and Talia talked about turning me before the fire. That they thought if I was like all of you then I would be better protected then if I was human. He told me that Talia wanted to wait till my sixteenth birthday to turn me unless I came to her myself but Peter thought she should do it earlier to lessen the chances of me saying anything. He turned Scott because Scott was there and as you know an alpha is stronger with a pack. He's forcing Scott because he knows that Scott is going to be harder to convince to help Peter with his revenge rather then me. He drew the spiral to clue me and you into why he's attacking all of those people. He's taking his revenge on Kate Argent and anyone who helped her with the fire. He told me that I would get to cut Kate Argents throat at the end of all of this." I say
"And you believe what he told you? Amelia, you can't be that naive to believe him." Derek said "I'm not, Derek. But if it means that Kate Argent is dead and we can finally get revenge for what she did to everyone in that house, then I will play a role in his little plan. But you can't do anything to Peter until this is over. Keep pretending that you don't know who the alpha is until the end and then we can get revenge for him killing Laura but Derek we have to plan everything out perfectly and stick to that plan. We can't go of script or it will mess everything up." I say "I got it. Pretend I don't know who the alpha is until the end or he reveals himself to me." Derek said "Exactly. Now let's keep this between you and I for now. No telling Scott on either of our parts because he doesn't need to know and the Argents don't need to know because we want revenge." I say and he nods. "Alright, we have the plan and we stick to it. You should head home for school tomorrow and I'll talk to you later." Derek said and I nod hugging him before I walk to my car and he follows me out and he walks to his.

Scott sits behind Stiles who sits behind me. I feel Stiles staring at the back of my head the entire time. "Still not talking to me?" Stiles doesn't acknowledge Scott making Scott sigh. "Can you at least tell me if your dad's okay? I mean, it's just a bruise from where Lia pushed him out of the way, right?" I hear Stiles' heartbeat rising, so I reach my arm behind my desk and lay my hand on his knee and he grabs my hand and I instantly hear his heartbeat calm down. "Some soft tissue damage? Nothing that big? You know I feel really bad about it, right? Okay." Stiles squeezes my head and I turn around in my desk to face him and he's looking at me. "What if I told you that I'm trying to figure this whole thing out, and... that I went to Derek for help?" Scott asked and I knew instantly Scott got him. "If I was talking to you, I'd say that you're an idiot for trusting him. No offense Amy. But obviously I'm not talking to you." Stiles doesn't let go of my hand but turns around. "What did he say?" Scott smiles at Stiles.
We walk out of the classroom after class. "He wants you to tap into your animal side and get angry? Stiles asked "Yeah." Scott said "All right, well, correct me if I'm wrong, but every time you do that, you try to kill someone, and that someone's usually me. Stiles said "And I save you." I say and that's when I noticed he still hasn't let go of my hand and I just ignored it and continue walking down the hallway listening to their conversation. "I know. That's what he means when he says he doesn't know if he can teach me. It's not like it was with Lia. I have to be able to control it." Scott said "Well, how's he gonna teach you to do that?" Stiles asked "I don't know. I don't think he does either. Either of them." Scott said slightly looking at me. "Either of them?" Stiles asked
"Look I'm not sorry that I smashed your phone. It was to prove a point and if it did then great and then if it didn't then I'll take it to the next level." I say "You smashed his phone?!" Stiles exclaimed stopping me in the hallway causing Scott to stop. "Yup. Threw it against a cement wall and everything smashed like it was glass." I say "Okay. When are you seeing him again?" Stiles asked "Just told me not to talk about it. Just act normal and get through the day." Scott said "When?" Stiles asked "He's picking us up at the animal clinic after work." I say "After work. All right, well, that gives us to the end of the school day then." Stiles said "To do what?" Scott asked "To teach you ourselves." Stiles said walking away dragging me with him because he still had a hold of my hand.
-time skip-
Scott had a book in front of his face trying to hide from Allison. I was sitting beside of Stiles across from Scott and Stiles has ahold of my hand again. He is liking holding my hand today for some reason. I reach up and grab the book covering Scott's face. "I think the books making it more obvious. Besides, she's reading, anyway." Stiles said "By the sound of it, Kates got to her." I say "So did you come up with a plan yet?" Scott asked "I think so." Stiles said "Does that mean you don't hate me now?" Scott asked "No. But your crap has infiltrated my life, so now I have to do something about it. Plus I'm definitely a better Yoda than Derek." Stiles said "Okay, yeah, you teach me." Scott said "Yeah, I'll be your Yoda." Stiles said "Yeah, you be my Yoda." Scott said "Your Yoda I will be." I lean against Stiles' shoulder laughing at how much of an idiot he is. "I said it backwards." Stiles said "Yeah, I know." Scott said "All right, you know what? I definitely still hate you. Uh-huh. Oh yeah." Stiles said
"Lia, how was Derek able to teach you even though you were also bit by the same alpha?" Scott asked "Because of how much time I spent at his house before the fire because I was friends with his sister Cora, I knew bits and pieces about werewolves before now. I knew how they kept in control so when I actually became a werewolf I knew how to control the change when Derek helped me." I say snatching back the book Scott was using to cover his face handing it to Stiles and we quickly get out of the cafeteria leaving Scott to deal with Allison.

The three of us walk to the lacrosse field and Stiles sits his bag down on the bleachers. Okay. Now... Put this on." Stiles said handing Scott a heart monitor from the track team. "Isn't that one of the heart rate monitors from the track team?" I ask "Yeah, I borrowed it." Stiles said "Stole it." Scott said "Temporarily misappropriated. Coach used it to monitor his heart rate with his phone while he jogs, and you're gonna wear it for the rest of the day." Stiles said and he brings out Coach's phone. "Isn't that Coach's phone?" I ask "That, I stole." Stiles said and I laugh. "Why?" Scott asked "All right, well, your heart rate goes up when you go wolf, right? When you're playing lacrosse, when you're with Allison, whenever you get angry. Maybe learning to control it is tied to learning to control your heart rate." Stiles said
"Like the Incredible Hulk." Scott said "Kind of like the Incredible Hulk, yeah." I say "No, I'm like the Incredible Hulk..." Scott said "Would you shut up and put the strap on?" I laugh a little. "Amy shut up." Stiles said looking over at me. "What? I can't help it when you're the one that says it." I say and he rolls his eyes helping Scott duck tape his hands. "This isn't exactly how I wanted to spend my free period." Scott said and Stiles gets his stuff and backs up towards me. "All right. You ready?" Stiles asked "No." Scott said "Remember, don't get angry." Stiles said "I'm starting to think this was a really bad idea." Scott said "Just starting? Scotty, I would've tapped out the minute he wanted to do the duck tape kinky shit." I say and Scott glares at me before Stiles throws a lacrosse ball hitting Scott with it causing him to groan in pain. Stiles laughs and I smirk a little at Stiles having his fun as he throws another ball towards Scott hitting him in the face. "Oh! Okay, that one kind of hurt." Scott said "Quiet. Remember, you're supposed to be thinking about your heart rate, all right? About staying calm." I say "Stay calm. Staying calm. Staying totally calm. There's no balls flying at my face..." Stiles hits Scott with one of the balls in the face. "Oh! Son of a bitch!" Scott yelled and I feel someone watching us and I look over towards where I felt the stares from and I see Jackson watching us. I move towards Stiles' ear and he leans down a little. "Make him pay. Jackson is watching us, so I'm going to go talk to him to get him to go away." I whisper quietly and he nods so I walk away towards Jackson who smiles at me.
I lean against the bleachers and Jackson stands in front of me. "What's your brother and Stiles doing?" Jackson asked "On the night of the conferences, Stiles' dad almost got hit by a car if I wouldn't have pushed him out of the way and took the hit all because Scott was too wrapped up in Allison. So Stiles is getting his payback." I say "You got hit by a car and didn't tell me?" Jackson asked "Well you were kinda drunk." I say "But I still remember you coming to my house. Speaking of that are you still coming over tonight?" Jackson asked "To help you actually pass Chem? Yeah I will." I hear the monitor start beeping like crazy and I quickly turn around to see Scott on the ground groaning. "Jax, I'll see you later. Yeah?" I ask "Yeah. What the hell is going on with him?" Jax asked "Stiles probably hit him in the dick. I'll see you later." I say kissing his cheek before running back to Scott and Stiles.
I stand beside of Stiles looking down at Coach's phone and see it rising. "Scott?" Stiles asked and Scott breaks the duck tape putting his hands on the ground causing me to immediately step in front of Stiles. Scott's heartbeat starts to slow down and I nod to Stiles so we both cautiously walk towards Scott with Stiles still behind me. I sit down in front of Scott and he falls over leaning against me. "Scott, you started to change." I say "From anger. But it was more than that. It was like, the angrier I got, the stronger I felt." Scott said "So it is anger, then. Derek's right." Stiles said "I can't be around Allison." Scott said "Just because she makes you happy?" Stiles asked "No, because she makes me weak." Scott said and I roll my eyes.

The three of us walk into the boys locker room after we went to my locker room. "Alright, so you stay away from her for a few days, you can do that." Stiles said "But is it a few days, or is it forever?" Scott asked and I lean against the lockers beside of Stiles. "You know, this whole "women make you weak" thing is a little too Spartan warrior for me. It's probably just part of the learning process." Stiles said "Yeah, but you've seen Derek. I mean, the guys totally alone minus Lia. What if I can, like never be around her again?" Scott asked making me roll my eyes. "The reason that Derek is totally alone except me is because Kate Argent burned most of his family alive. Do I need to reminding you of that?" I ask emphasizing Argent. "Well, if you're not dead, that could be a good thing." Stiles said "I'd rather be dead." Scott said and I scoff rolling my eyes. "You're not gonna end up like Derek, all right? We'll figure it out." Stiles said "Okay." Scott said "Come on. Let's get out of here." I say "Something smells terrible in here, anyway." Scott said and Stiles wraps his arm around my shoulder. "Really? In a boys locker room? That doesn't make any sense at all." Stiles said "No, I smell it too. It's like somethings rotting or dying." I say
We walk into coach's class as the bell rings. "Let's go. Sit, sit, sit, sit. We got a lot to cover today. Let's go. Quicker." Coach said "Hey, Stiles, Lia, one of you sit behind me." Scott said and Stiles tried to go over the seat but Allison got there quicker, so Stiles just sits in front of me. "You tried, Stiles." I say leaning up to whisper in his ear making him jump a little. "I haven't seen you all day." Allison said "Uh, yeah. I've been super busy." Scott said "When are you gonna get your phone fixed? I feel like I'm totally disconnected from you." Allison said and I laugh a little at the memory of me throwing Scott's phone at a wall. "Uh, soon. Real soon." Scott said glaring at me because he heard me laugh and I just smile at him. "I changed lab partners, by the way." Allison said "Oh, to who?" Scott asked "To you, dummy." Allison said "Me? I mean, are you sure?" Scott asked
"Yeah. This way I have an excuse to bring you home and study." Allison said "Oh." Scott said and I roll my eyes at the awkwardness of the conversation. "You don't mind, do you?" Allison asked "I just... I don't want to bring your grade down." Scott said "Well, I mean, maybe I can bring your grade up." Stiles turns around and looks at me and rolls his eyes making me start laughing. "Come to my place tonight. 8:30?" Allison asked "Tonight?" Scott asked "8:30." Allison said and suddenly Coach slams a book on top of a stack of books to get our attention. "Let's settle down. Let's start with a quick summary of last nights reading." There was multiple people who put their hands up. "Greenberg put your hand down. Everybody knows you did the reading. How about... McCall." Coach said causing both Scott and I to look up. "What?" Scott asked "Yeah, Coach?" I ask "Male McCall. The reading." Coach said "Last nights reading?" Scott asked
"How about the reading of The Gettysburg Address?" Coach asked "What?" Scott asked "That's sarcasm. You familiar with the term "sarcasm," McCall?" Coach asked and Scott looks back towards Stiles and I. "Very." Scott said "Did you do the reading or not?" Coach asked "Um... I think I forgot." Scott said "Nice work, McCall. It's not like you're not averaging a "D" in this class. Come on, buddy. You know I can't keep you on the team if you have a "D." Coach's phone starts beeping and Stiles looks back at me. "How about you summarize the previous nights reading? No? How about the night before that? How about you summarize anything you've ever read in your entire life?" Coach asked and the beeping gets louder and faster. "Scott, you need to calm down." I say quietly. Stiles looks back at me and I can tell he's panicking. I hold my hand out to him and he immediately grabs it and I hear Stiles' heartbeat calm down a little. "I..." Scott goes to say but Coach cuts him off. "No? A blog? How about... how about the back of a cereal box?" The beeping gets faster. "No? How about the adults-only warning from your favorite website you visit every night? Anything?" Coach asked and I decide to try and intervene. "Coach, that's enough." I say loud enough that Coach could hear me but he ignores me. "Thank you, McCall, thank you. Thank you, McCall! Thank you for extinguishing any last flicker of hope I have for your generation. You just blew it for everybody. Thanks. Next practice you can start with suicide runs." Allison moves her arm down and grabs Scott's hand. The beeping starts to slow down causing me to relax but I tense back up when I realize what it means. "Unless that's too much reading. All right. Everybody else, settle down." Coach said and I take my hand away from Stiles' and pull out my phone to quickly text Derek. Stiles turns to look at me and I shake my head.
Mia
Allison is Scott's anchor.
Dere
What do you mean?
How did you find this out?
Mia
I'll explain later.
Trying to make sure
he doesn't turn.

We walk out of class and into the hallway. "It's her." Stiles and I say in sync. "What do you mean?" Scott asked "It's Allison. Remember what you told us about the night of the full moon? You were thinking about her, right? About protecting her." Stiles said "Okay." Scott said "Remember the night of the first lacrosse game? You said you could hear her voice out on the field." I say "Yeah, I did." Scott said "Well, so that's what brought you back so you could score. And then after the game in the locker room, you didn't kill her. At least not like how you were trying to kill me." Stiles said "She brings you back, is what he's trying to say. Which y'all would've known if you just asked me." I say "No, no, no, but that's not always true, because literally every time I'm kissing her or touching her..." Scott said before I cut him off. "No, thats not the same. When you're doing that, you're just another hormonal teenager thinking about sex, you know?" I ask and he smiles making me roll my eyes. "You're thinking about sex right now, aren't you?" Stiles asked
"Yeah. Sorry...." Scott said "That's fine." Stiles said before I cut him off. "Look, back in the classroom when she was holding your hand, that was different, okay? It's like how I help Stiles when he's freaking out. She doesn't make you weak. She actually gives you control. She's your anchor." We stop in the hallway. "Derek's anchor is anger. It's what keeps him sane. For you that's Allison." I say "What's your anchor?" Stiles asked "You guys. My friends are my anchors." I say "You mean because I love her." Scott said "Exactly." Stiles said and I stop and look at Scott surprised. "Did I just say that?" Scott asked "Yes, you just said that." Stiles said "I love her." Scott said "That's great. Now, moving on..." I say before Scott interrupts me. "No, no, no, really. I think I'm totally in love with her." Scott said "And that's beautiful. Now, before you go off and write a sonnet, can we figure this out, please? Because you obviously can't be around her all the time and you can't forget that her family wants you dead." I say "Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sorry. So what do I do?" Scott asked "I don't know. Yet." Stiles said and he turns away from Scott facing me and then turns back to Scott. I get an idea so I hit Stiles lightly making him look at me. I raise my eyebrow a little smirking and I knew he instantly understood what I was thinking. "Oh, no. You both have an idea, don't you?" Scott asked "Yeah." Stiles and I say in sync. "Is this idea gonna get me in trouble?" Scott asked "Maybe." Stiles said "Is this idea gonna cause me physical pain?" Scott asked "Yeah, definitely. Come on." I say and we walk outside to this dudes truck.
"What are we doing?" Scott asked "You'll see. Hold on." The dude gets out of his truck and Stiles stands in front of Scott. "Stand right there. Do you have your keys?" Scott gets his keys out of his pocket. "Perfect. Hold 'em up like so." I move Scott's hand to be the way we need it to be. "Now, whatever happens just think about Allison." Stiles said "Try and find her voice like you did at the game. Got it?" Scott nods. "Okay. Just keep holding it right there." I say and Stiles gets his keys out of his pocket. As Stiles walks to the dudes truck I sneak around the other side and to where Stiles will end up at. Stiles walks by the guys truck keying it and I laugh a little at Scott's face. Stiles walks over at stands beside of me. "Glad we thought about the same thing." I say quietly. "Hey, hey; hey, dude! What do you think you're doing to that truck, bro!" Stiles yells and the guys quickly turn around. "What the hell?" The dude who owns the truck asked and goes to Scott who quickly tries to put his keys in his pocket and gets punched. "Ow! My god. Wow." Stiles said and they start beating up Scott. Stiles gets the phone out of his pocket as it starts beeping. "Come on, stay calm. Stay calm." I say "Oh, that's not okay. Scott. Come on, buddy." Stiles said and I hear Scott start calming down.
"Stop! Stop it right now! What do you idiots think you're doing?" Harris asked and Stiles holds up the phone smiling because Scott's heartbeat went back to normal. I start walking towards Scott and Harris. "What are you doing?" Stiles asked "Getting myself out of detention." I walk over to Harris and Scott. "Mr. Harris, can I speak with you?" I ask "You know you have detention Miss. McCall?" Harris asked "About that. Today is actually the only day this week that I can help the person get their grade up like you requested because of my work schedule. Are you really going to cause a student to fail your class because I happened to walk outside when my brother and his friend are doing something stupid?" I ask hoping he believes it. "Alright fine. But he better be up a letter grade by the end of the week." Harris said "Yes sir of course." I say as he walks away. "How the hell did you just do that?" Stiles asked "He asked me a couple weeks back to help a kid get his grade up. So I help him out a couple nights a week." I say "You go see Jackson a couple nights a week." Scott said "Yeah because Jackson is my best friend besides Stiles of course." I say "So basically you manipulated him into not giving you detention?" Stiles asked "Basically and it worked like a charm." Jackson's Porsche pulls up in front of us. "Alright boys have fun at detention." I say smirking at them. I get in the car and Jackson drives away.
"So do they suspect anything?" Jackson asked "Which part? Oh and you need to be up a letter grade by the end of the week." I say "What? Why?" Jackson asked "Because I used tutoring you to get out of detention with Harris because of Scott and Stiles being idiots and he said that he would let me go as long as you get your grade up a letter grade by the end of the week." I say
-time skip-
Jackson and I were studying when my phone rang causing me to look down at it to see Stiles calling me.
Amy
What's up Stiles?
Mischief
You still at Jackson's?
Amy
Yeah. Why?
Mischief
Scott and I are coming
to get you. We're meeting
Derek at the school.
Amy
Okay. Just let me
know when you're outside.
Mischief
Not like you wouldn't
already know.
Amy
Think about the beginning
of the conversation and now.
Mischief
Good point.
Amy
Uh huh. See you soon
Mischief.
I hang up the phone and Jackson looks over at me. "Stiles coming to get you?" Jackson asked "Yeah. Him and Scott need me to help them with something. But we can study until they get here." I say "I can think of something better." Jackson said and he kisses me. I kiss back until I hear a horn outside and my phone rings. I pull away from Jackson and pack my stuff up. "See you later, Jax." I kiss him and walk out the door.
I get out to the Jeep and Scott gets out to let me get into the backseat. "So what the hell is going on?" I ask "I went to work and I saw Derek there beating up Deaton asking him about the alpha and accusing him of being the alpha. So I told him to meet us at the high school." Scott said as we pull into the school parking lot. We get out of the jeep and stand behind it waiting on Derek to show up. "This is a terrible idea." Stiles said "Yeah, I know." Scott said "But we're still gonna do it?" I ask "Can you think of something better?" Scott asked "Well, personally I'm a fan of ignoring a problem until eventually it just goes away." Stiles said "Just make sure we can get inside." Stiles opens the back of the jeep getting bolt cutters out of the jeep when Derek pulls up. "He's here. Where's our boss?" Scott asked when Derek got out of the Camaro.
"He's in the back." Derek said and they move to the back to look at Deaton. "Oh, he looks comfortable." Stiles said and they go towards the school. "Wait. Hey. What are you doing?" Derek asked "You said I was linked with the alpha." He turns towards the building. "I'm gonna see if you're right." Scott said and I freeze realizing what he was doing. Once they disappear inside the building I turn myself to put my back towards the Jeep and face the woods. "Derek he's about to summon the alpha and what part of stick to the script do you not understand?" I ask "I know that and I was. You said it yourself pretend like you don't know. So I am." Derek said and suddenly there was a sound that sounded like a dying cat came over the intercom. "You've got to be fucking kidding me." I turn to look at Derek who has moved to stand beside me.
Suddenly there was an actual howl that came from inside the school. Derek and I look at each other and then look at the building. "I'm gonna fucking kill them." The boys walk out of the school. "I'm gonna kill both of you." I say "What the hell was that? What are you trying to do, attract the entire state to the school?" Derek asked "Sorry. I didn't know it would be that loud." Scott said "Yeah, it was loud. And it was awesome." Stiles said "Shut up." Derek and I say in sync. I move over to beside of Stiles. "Don't be such a sour-wolf." Stiles said and I heard low growling making me look around. "Derek." I say with a warning ton in my voice. "What'd you do with him?" Scott asked "What? I didn't do anything." Derek said and that's when I see a black shape running towards us. "Derek!" I yell and Derek looks over at me and suddenly there's blood coming out of his mouth and Peter in his beast form is holding Derek up with his claws. Stiles grabs on to my arm and drags me towards the door. I turn around just in time to see Peter throw Derek towards the side of the building. Everything in me snaps at that moment and I feel myself start to transform. I roar at Peter and go to run at him but Scott pulls me into the school and they shut the doors falling to the ground. Stiles quickly drags me to the ground with them.

I hope y'all liked this chapter. Sorry it took so long to get out. My dual enrollment college classes have been killing me but I'm hoping to get more out during the summer until I move into my college dorm in August then the updates will probably slow down again.
