Don't think about The bug

Chapter Four : Don't think about the bug.

"Okay , Lottie fair reminder. I'm a virgin, Okay? And you know what that means? It means that my lack of sexual experience is now literally a threat to my life. Okay, I need to have sex, Like, right now. Someone needs to have sex with me like, today. Like, someone needs to sex me right now!"

Lottie slammed her gym locker shut. "I'm sure Scott will do it."

"What?"

She just rolls her eyes, "Can we please address the elephant in the room."

"Oh you mean the fact that our sister bugged me. And you actually."

"Yes that elephant. Cait, how long do you think they have been bugging us? I mean how much do they know?"

"I don't know, okay? But right now, the human sacrifice thing seems more important." We walked out of the locker room.

When we got to the cross country course Scott came right up to us. "Since when do you two run?"

"Well you see I don't have the supernatural ability to have a perfect body that you and Isaac do. And as for Cait well she's been doing it since she was eight."

The alpha twins come on either side of Isaac, "I don't like those two."

"Nobody likes the unknown." Scott says. Isaac gets off the ground but Scott stops him. "Isaac."

"It's them." The brit runs off.

"Isaac wait!"

"Isaac!" Scott and I run after him but it was of no use. "Damn it Scott wolf out a bit here. You're supper fast for a reason." Scott nods and chase after Isaac and the twins.

"So what? We have twin Alphas in our school now?"

"Not only that but, they combine to make one mega wolf." I told my sister.

"Oh that's great that's wonderful." Lottie jokes, shaking out a laugh. The two of us follow Scott as best as we could. I forget the whole concept of pacing myself as I trailed after the four wolves. Sprinting to catch up.

I found them just off the trail. Aiden was on the left side of Isaac holding his head back and Ethan was on the right holding him to the ground. "Ethan I always forget, how many bones are in the human body?"

"I don't know. Lets count." The second twin tells his brother as I get closer.

"That's one." Scott punches Ethan in the nose.

"Make that two." I say moving the earth so Aiden twists his ankle. And hopefully broke it.

The two Alphas heal extremely quickly. Both get their eyes glowing and claws out. Scott and Isaac go the same. As for me I light one of my hands with a flame and the other as a defense. Right now it was two betas, and an almost witch, against two alpha. What could go wrong?

Right before a fight breaks out, an ear piercing scream is let out from a little ways away. I knew Scott was going to follow the sound, just proving to the alphas who he was but right now that didn't matter. Isaac, Scott and I chased down the sound.

We arrive at a tree. A boy's head was hanging with a rope tying him to a tree. Strangled. He was bleeding from his ears and back of his head. Head bashing. And he was also bleeding from the throat. Throat slashed. He was a sacrifice.

"It's him isn't it?" Stiles asked.

"It's who?" I asked, resisting every urge to step closer, to see if there was any sign of who the killer was.

"The guy that got taken from Scott's job."

"Stiles, call your dad." Lottie says coming up next to me.

"I already did."

10 minutes later the Sheriff and a deputy were yelling to clear the area but us supernaturals stayed put. "Dad, just come here. Look, Look, at it." Stiles beconded his father over. "It's the same as the others you see?"

"Yeah I see that. Do me a favor Go back to school, yeah? Coach give us a hand here?"

"You heard the man, nothing to see here. Probably just some homeless kid."

"Coach he was a senior." Scott corects

"He wasn't on the team was he?"

"Kyle! OH GOD! KYLE!" A girl screams. The deputy holds her back as she continues to scream.

Stiles, Scott, Isaac, Lottie and I walk down the hill trying to get a privet conversation. "You see the way the twins looked at him?" Isaac asked.

"You mean like they had no idea what was happening?" Lottie sasses back to him.

"No, no they knew."

"The kid was strangled with a garrote, all right? Am I the only one recognizing the lack of werewolfitude in these murders?" Stiles augges. Me and Scott stay silent.

"Oh so you two think it's a coincidence they turn up and then people start dying?"

"Well no. But I don't think it's them."

"Stiles is right, it can't be them." Lottie states as all five of us stop walking

"Scott? Cait? You have an opinion on this?" Isaac asked.

"I don't know yet."

"Yeah, something seems off. Like the alphas have seen it before but didn't do it. It doesn't sit right. And that's not just because someone got his head bashed in." I agree with Scott.

"Really? You don't two don't know yet?"

"Isaac has a point Stiles." I say, biting the inside of my cheek.

"Yeah. Seriously, dude, human sacrifices?" Scott says, still taking a middle ground.

"Scott, your eyes turn into yellow glow sticks, okay? I mean Cait can light herself on fire, and not have a single injury. And if I were to stab you right now it would just magically heal, but you're telling me that you're having trouble grasping human sacrifices?" Stiles asked, waving his arms around.

"That's a good point too." I told Isaac.

"I don't care. They killed that kid. They killed the girl that saved me. And I'm gonna kill them too." Isaac walks away from the rest of us.

I just sigh. Why was he so stubborn? "Cait? Any updates on the whole 'my sister put a bug on me', thing? Scott asked.

"No. I - I haven't talked to them."

"Well you have too. Because the more they know.."

"The more they could get hurt I know, Scott. Come on. I don't want to stand around a dead body any longer.

Isaac sat next to me at one of the lab tables. It was a boring lesson on momentum. "They're here for a reason, okay. Give me a chance to figure it out before you do anything. Okay? Isaac." Scott told Isaac from behind us. Everything in my mind wanted to say the reason they were here was for Scott. BUt I can't tell him one of the most important things about his future.

"Danny.. What do we know about momentum?" Mr. Harris asked. I wasn't paying much attention. To be honest the only thing in my notebook was a list of the reasons why Chloe would put a bug in my jacket.

"Mr. Haris, can I use the bathroom, Please?" That might be the first time I heard Isaac say the word please.

"I have to go to the bathroom too." Scott sasy not waiting for an answer before leaving the room. I bang my head on my lab table.

"Miss Holmes, is there something bothering you?" Mr. Harris asked.

"Just the ever impending knowledge that my best friends are idiots."

"If you would please go follow you friend and bring one of them back here, that would be all so helpful." I nod, not really sure why Mr. Harris would send a girl to the mens bathroom.

When I walk outside Isaac and Scott are just standing there. "One of you has to get back in this classroom before Hariss kills all three of us." Scott sighs before following me back into the room. When Scott and I sat down a string of noises came from outside. It was like.... Like someone was getting their head bashed in. The whole class ran outside to see Ethan on the floor and Isaac, very confused.

"What is this? What's going on?" Hariss asked as Aiden ran from the scene.

"He just came at me." Ethan said from the floor. HIs nose was bloody and it looked like his jaw was in the middle of healing. He kept giving me this look, nothing has ever made me so on edge as the way he was looking at me.

"Isaac what the hell did you do?" Harris asked. Scott and I were wide eye know it was a 50/50 shot the Isaac did this, or that Aiden did it and left.

When class ended Scott and I raced out the door after Isaac. "Isaac, you can't let them in your head." I tell him, power walking to keep up with his stride.

"Yeah it's just lunchtime detention. If all they want right now is to piss you off, then don't give in. THey're just trying to get to you."

"It's not just me." Isaac said nodding across the hall. Aiden stood next to Lydia at her locker. Scott''s jaw tightened and I balled my fist.

I looked back at Isaac, "What?"

"Now they're getting to the two of you." He leaned down to whisper in my ear, "By the way, the orange light that a flame makes it starting to show in your hand."

Scott and I sat down at lunch. "Scott I don't have a good feeling."

"About what? The twins? None of us do. And until you talk to your sister that goes for both sets."

"No. Well yes. But I meant Isaac. Something feels off, like Right now." I put an emphasis. Scott's head tilts to the left, like he's trying to hear something. HI eyes go wide as he stands up abruptly.

"Come on." We start to race down the hall. A faint roar could be heard from the closet. A closet being blocked by a vending machine.

"Scott." I nod to the one hall. He rushed forward the closer we get the more I can hear Allison scream. Scott's eyes go gold as he pushed the vending machine back. He opened the door and throws Isaac into the hall.

Me and Scott switch places as he runs out of the closet and I run in to help Allison. Scott held Isaac to the ground by his neck. The blue eyed brt was still fight, his eyes not even blue. Isaac was roaring like a mad wolf. Scott pushed him back to the ground his own eyes turning, "ISAAC!" Isaac stops. HIs eyes becoming blue. He lets his head fall to the ground. The switching of Alphas has begang at the very least. I turn to Allison.

She had a large scratch going down her arm. "I'm okay. I'm fine."

"I - I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that." Isaac starts to apologize as Allison and I walk out of the closet.

"I'm okay really."

"I'm sorry. I- I'm so sorry." Scott explains the wound.

"Scott it's not his fault." Allison says as I walk over to Isaac.

"I know. I guess we know they want to do more than get you anger."

I place my hand over Isaac's, "They want to get someone hurt." I realized as Isaac starts to calm down.

"So are we gonna do something?" Isaac asked, as I helped him get off the floor.

"We have too. Right, Scott?"

"Yeah. We got to get them angry. Really angry."

"Something tells me you're really shitty at revenge." I mumble.

"Cait, you know I have superhuman hearing, Right?" Scott asked me, his mouths in a smirk biting his lower lip.

"Oh shut up."

Scott and I head to class. Lucky for us Allison and Isaac had their free period now. The plan, just get the twins pissed as all hell. And break a few super expensive bikes along the way. Allison sent me a picture. "Scott." I show him my phone. It was Isaac sitting on one of the twins' bikes, revving the engine.

"That'll do." He jokes as we take our seats.

"Okay everyone. I know this is the last class of the day. To be honest, I want to get out of here too." Miss Blake's voice driffs off and Scott grabs a gear from his bag. He spins it around a bit to get the twins attention.

"Looks kinda important." I pull out a second item from Scott's bag. IT looked like a mine wheel on a string.

"And I have no idea what this does." One of the bikes revs from outside the room Aiden stands from his desk.

"Wait Aiden! Don't" Ethan calls after him but Aiden doesn't listen. Everyone leaves the room at the sound of Aiden yelling. Allison catches up with me and Scott as we watch Isaaac do a flip off of Aidens bike.

"You have got to be kidding me." Miss Blakes asked, pushing through the sea of students. "You realize this is gonna result in a suspension." I bit back a laugh as Isaac crossed his arms in victory. Aiden looks right at Scott, Isaac, Allison, and me. All four of us just shrug, know that is what will piss him off the most.

Third Person Pov

Lottie and Stiles walked into the back room of the clinic. Scott's boss knows something, and they wanted to find out what. "All these symbols and things- The triskeles, the bank logo, the mountain ash- all of it is from the celtic druids. And anyone who has ever looked up human sacrifice before knows that the druids had a pretty big hard-on when it cam to giving one up to the gods." Stiles started.

Charlotte picked up. "You ever hear of the lindow man? 2000 year old body found in england? He was found strangled, head bashed in, throat cut. Threefold death. They also found pollen grains in his stomach, guess what favorite druid plant that was?"

Dr. Deaton picked up a jar, and brought out a green plant, "Mistletoe."

"We're just telling you everything you already know, aren't we?" Stiles asked, leaning over the table.

"Then why aren't you telling us?" Lottied ask, already becoming pissed.

"Maybe because we've spent every moment of the last 10 years trying to push something away, Denting it. Lying about it. Becomes a pretty powerful habit." The doctor tells the two kids.

"All right, so this guy- is he a druid?"

"No. It's someone copying a centuries-old practice of a people who should have known better. Do you two know what the word 'druid means in gaelic?"

"Wise oak." The Holmes girl answers.

"That's right. The Celtic Druids were close to nature. They believed they kept it in balance. They were philosophers and Scholars. They weren't serial killers."

"Yeah well this one is." Stiles said, his tone dark. The Stilinski boys hone started to ring. "Hey, I can't talk right now.'-'Wait what'- 'Are you sure he's missing?'- 'Okay we're on our way." Stiles hung up the phone.

"What was that?" The Holmes girl asked her friend.

"Uhh Lydia. She thinks our music teacher was taken."

When the three arrive at the school, they go straight to the music room. Stiles and Lottie start to dig around in draws as Lydia passes a phone to Deaton. Deaon plays out a message on the phone. "Can we get a copy of this?" He asked the strawberry blond.

"Hey dock, any help would be. You know, helpful." Stiles says opening a new drawer.

"Each grouping of three would have it's own purpose, It's own type of power. Virgins, Healers, Philosophers, warriors-"

"Wait, can warriors mean solder?" Lottie asked, picking up a picture.

"Absolutely." Lottie holds up the image.

"Kyle was in R.O.T.C with Boyd." STiles points out looking at the photo.

"That's Gotta be it. That's the pattern." Deaton says placing the picture back on the desk. Where's Boyd?"

"He has to be home by now." Lottie sasy as Stiles pulls out his phone.

"Yeah, I can try to get him on the phone."

Lydia was starting wide-eyed at the wall in front of her. "Lydia?" Lottie asked her friend. "Something wrong?"

"No, It was- I mean- I just thought of someone else with a military connection."

"Who?" Stiles asked, hanging up the phone.

"Mr. Harris."

First Person POV~ Caitlin Roads/Holmes

Scott, Issac, and I were walking down the stairs. "Uhh, I wish I could have seen their faces."

"It was priceless." I joke.

"They look seriously pissed?"

"Yeah." Scott says. We stopped when our path down the halls got blocked by the twins. The alpha twins. Not Chloe and Evlynn. "Kinda like that."

Ethan and Aiden start stripping. Everything is me was going what the actually F**k. Aiden gets down on the floor, just making this whole thing weirder. Ethan stabs his hand into his brother's back. The two of them start to merge into there alpha state. Isaac drops his bag on the floor and starts to roll up his sleeves.

"We can take them."

"ARE YOU KIDDING!" Me and Scott yell at the same time.

Each of us grabs one of Isaac's arms and start down the hall. They catch up fast, digging their claws into Scott and Isaac;s neck. I light my hand and press it to their now bare stomach. They throw Scott and Isaac to the floor. My heart stops when I spot a blind man walking down the hall. (You'll see, don't start attaching me.) The twins immediately freeze up when they see him.

Ethan and Aidens bones crack as they start to disconnect from one another. Deucalion removes the top of his cane to reveal a silver arrow. He swings the spear head so that it cuts the twins cheeks. He walks down past the twins, giving me a once over and a smirk. I was gonna die. The twins start to follow the Alpha of Alphas. The Apex of Apex predators. The demon wolf. Or whatever he calls himself these days. "Who the hell is that?" Isaac asked from the floor.

"Deucalion."

Scott gives me a ride home on his new dirt bike. When I got off the bike he held me back, taking off his helmet. "We have to talk to them Cait."

"Can you come with me? He nods stepping off the bike.

We walk up to the twins door and knock. Evlynn yells for us to come in. I take a few breaths before pushing open the door. Evlynn sat on her bed and Chloe sat on her own. "Cait. Scott?" Chloe questioned Scott being here.

"We- we need to talk."

"About?"

"About this." I say holding up the bug for my sisters to see.
