Chapter Nineteen : he followed us

I felt the wind get knocked out of me and I was pushed into the School's entrance. The double doors hitting my back as I fell to my ass. Derek was crawling on the ground next to me. My vision blurred as I doubled over from getting kicked in the gut, keeping me on the ground. My hair fell out of it's ponytail, falling into my face as I struggled to stand back up.

"Caity!" I hear Stiles call my name in the distance.

I cough up blood, "Stiles get out of here!"

Just then Peter comes through the double doors. Once again he kicks me back. "Bring me to Scott." He says just like he did outside.

"I told you I don't know where he is. All I know is he is here somewhere." I breath out a few more drops of blood leaving my mouth.

"Oh my god. He's the. Oh I'm gonna die." I hears Stiles say has my head spins from the third blow to my gut.

"You're not gonna die Stiles." I hear Derek say.

"Why not?" Stiles ask fear and confusion coming out.

"Because We are gonna give him what he wants."

I move the hair out of my face, my vision clearing slightly. "What?"

"Now that's the spirit. That's why you were always my favorite nephew. Now Stiles was it? Tell me where Scott McCall is."

"Wha- No."

"Stiles do It he won't hurt his own beta." Derek says, already healing from his broken leg.

"The boys Locker room" Stiles says head hung low.

Stiles helps me walk to the locker room, as Peter disconnects the lights. I lean against the tile wall for support. Derek and Stiles standing next to me. Derek rolls a lacrosse ball down the shower walkway.

Scott rounds the corner only in a towel. His face goes red at seeing me in the locker room. "Thank god where the hell have you guys been?" He asked. All I do is mouth 'I'm Sorry'

"I really don't get lacrosse."

"It's you." I hear Scott say in a whisper. My stomach still hurt the wall being the only thing holding me up.

"When I was in highschool we played basketball. There's a real sport. Still I rad somewhere that lacrosse comes from native american tribes an that they played iit to resolve conflict. Do I have that right?" Peter finishes his opening monologue. Scott looked back at me Derek and Stiles in disbelief that we would bring him here. "I have a little conflict of my own to resolve, Scott. But I need your help to do it."

"I'm not helping you kill people." Ay one point for Scott. Maybe.

"Well I don't want to kill all of them." How could I forget Kate Argent set the Hale fire. "Just the responsible ones. And that doesn't have to include.." He stops.

"Allison." Derek says, mind set on killing his ex.

Scott turns to look at Derek Stiles and myself, "You're on his side?" Derek nodded slightly, "Are you forgetting the part where he killed your sister? What do you two think?"

"Me?" I say more than ask, "I think I'm not helping anyone who tried to kill me.. Twice."

"I seconded that." Stiles adds.

Derek ignored me and Stiles' remarks and answered the first question Scott asked, "It was a mistake."

"WHAT?" appropriate reaction.

"It happens." Inappropriate response.

"Scott..I think you're getting the wrong impression of us. We really just want to help you reach your full potential."

"By killing my friends."

"Sometimes the people closest to us to you.. Can be the ones holding you back the most."

"If they're holding me back from becoming a psychotic nut job like you.. I'm okay with that." I winced really loud, the sound echoing through the damp room. "Cait?"

"I'm okay. Promise." I lift my shirt to see a bruise already forming around my midriff and hips.

Peter steped forward as Scott stepped back, "Maybe you could try and see things" Peter let his claws out, "From My perspective."

"NO!" I screamed know what Peter was going to do but it was to late. He dug his claws into the back of Scott's neck. The Alpha sharing his memories with my best friend.

"Caity what's going on?" Stiles asked now holding me again so I'm not leaning on the wall.

"He's sharing his memory." Derek explains.

"It could kill him." I say Fear raking my body.

"He'll be fine he's a wolf."

"Will he Derek,will he?" Stiles says, "Because I trust Caity a hell of a lot more than you." Then Peter pulls his claws out of Scott and walks away.

I run to the best of my abilities over to Scott, who was panting and groaning on the floor Stiles helping me to do so. Scott doesn't respond to anything me or Stiles say instead his eyes run the harsh gold of a beta who has never killed. His body goes still on the floor, no longer fighting what Peter was showing him. He's eyes stay the shining yellow but the rest of his stays human.

"Caity what do we do?"

"Nothing. If we interrupt it we could kill him." I say, my voice shaking. Scott sits bolt up right after I say that gasping for air.

Third Person POV

Lottie Lydia Evlynn and Allison, walk throw the woods. "Allison when you said you need to do an eare before shopping.. A five mile hike was not what I thought you meant." Lydia complained to her friend.

"I aggre with Lydia" Evlynn sighs.

"Me too." Lottie says catching up to the rest of the group after having too relace her shoe.

"Oh Lydia..' Allison exclaims, "Before I forget Jackson asked me to the winter formal, just as friend."

"Did he." The strawberry blond asked, turning her head.

"I just wanted to make sure your okay with it." Allison replise.

"Oh sure al long as it just friends." Lydia say plastering a smile on here face.

"Oh good." Allison says, "Because It's not like I would take him into the coaches office and Make out with him or anything." Allison and Lydia walk faster as the two sisters hang back.

"Lynn that was bitchy right?" Lottie asked bending down to her sister's ear leave.

"Definitely." Evlynn flipped her hair over her shoulder and walked back to Lydia and Allison.

POV Caitlin Roads/Homles

I climbed the latter Stiles set up outside of Scott's room weeks ago. I watch him walk into the room. Slowly I brought my knuckle to the glass.

"Cait what the hell?" He asked opening the window for me.

"I was bored and curious about what Peter showed you yesterday." There was a knock at the door.

"Not now mom." Two more knocks. "Mom really." I stand still on the latter. "Mom I said not now."

"Scott go get the door. I can wait." I climb into his room sitting on his bed as he opens the door. But rather than a feisty nurse who sasses her child stood none other than Allison Argent.

"Sorry your mom let me in. Oh hi Cait." Allison waves at me as I stand up.

"Scott we will continue this conversation later." With that I climb back out the window, but rather than climb down the later I sit on the bit of roofing just to the side of Scott's window.

"Scott, can we talk." I hear the Argent girl say.

The room is silent for a few minutes, all I can hear is the roar of the wind in my ears. "Do you want me to say something first?" Scott asked, trying to break the tension.

"No." Allison says weirdly perkey.

"Okay." Scott breathed out. It was painful to listen to this. "Do you want me to leave you alone?" Good lord Scott she went to you

"Why would I want that?"

"I don't know, It's just that um you came in here and said that you wanted to talk and you haven't said anything for like ten mutiuets. And it's starting to freak me out."

"Sorry it's just hard to start." Yeah whatever lets go, i'm freezing my ass off here.

"This is going to sound really ridiculous. And I-I guess I just.. I don't want you to laugh at me." Girl he would never. Saying Scott McCall would laugh at anyone other than Stiles is like saying I leave the house with bad hair. It's just not going to happen ever.

"I would never laugh at you." See.

"It's about my family." Oh shit.

"Okay."

"A little while ago I caught them in a lie. A small one. When my Aunt first arrived, she had car trouble and.. My Dad said it was a flat tire, but My Aunt said she needed a jumpstart." Okay how does that mean anything or is she just trying to talk to her ex.

"Maybe it was just a little miscommunication." Hey look at Scott being normal.

"Yeah that's what I though too, and then I found glass on her car.. Like the window had been smashed in." The night she got here, Derek and Peter went after her. "It's not just that, I've been overhearing some really strange conversations." Strange how, come on Argent give me something. "I think some of it has to do with Derek."

"Are you sure." If I could hear heartbeats I swear Scott's would be racing, despite his clam voice and tone.

"Yeah. I think that he's, not..."

"Hey Scott I'm coming home late tonight." Mrs. McCall paused, "Why what's wrong, is it my hair my makeup?" I forgot she goes on a date with Peter.

"No. No nothing. You look great Mom."

Allison laughs a little, "You look amazing."

"Amazing. I can ask why you look amazing?" Poor choice of words Scott.

"Because, amazingly I'm having dinner for once with a member of the male gender who's over the age of 16." I could almost feel Scott's eye roll. I have to hand it to Melissa that was a great way to tell her son to shut up.

"Who?" Allison laughs again. Does all that girl do is laugh, look cute, and bitch?

"It's a medical Rep. that came into the hospital today. Yeah we just kinda started talking and next thing I know I'm saying yes to dinner. And.. I'm really hating myself for skipping the gym last week."

"What medical Rep?" Oh my god Scott might catch on. A set of headlights pull up to the house. I watch Peter get out of the car and Start to the front door. The doorbell resanaits around Scotts room.

"That medical rep and i'm not ready. I'm not ready I'm not done, so If you could please just get the door and Talk with him." She starts to walk away, "And Scott be nice." I her her say before the sound of her heels leave again.

"Just one minute okay?" I hear Scott leave the room as well. Sometimes I generally think that Peter wanted to go out with Mlissa and getting to Scott was a bonus.

Scott came back into the room frantic. "Allison can you give just like one minute. I just I just have to um.. I wouldn't do this is it wasn't dier."

"It's alright." Allison sighs. OKay that's a new one.

"No. I want to talk to you. I mean there is nothing In the world I want to do more. So please can you stay?"

He's not going to be right back. I climb down the roof as soon as Scott walks outside. "Cait what the hell?"

"I didn't think your conversation with Allison would be so long."

"Sorry I can call you later about it."

"Yeah, Yeah. Now don't keep Allison waiting for too long.

"Wait Cait can you come."

"Sure." I climb into the passenger seat of Scott's (Mom's) Car. "So what is so dier you had to leave Allison in your room alone?"

"Peter Hale took my mom on a date."

"Okay yeah that's dier. Wall we are stuck in a car together, what did Peter show you yesterday?"

"He showed me who the arsonist at the Hale fire were. And how he killed all of them. Well except..." He trails off.

"Except who Scott?"

"Allison's aunt Kate." Sooner than I thought possible I was back in the back seat of Stiles' jeep. Driving after Peter and Mrs. McCall. Knowing the grand plan was to run into their car I slump down in the back seat so no one could see me outside the car.

I feel the jeep jolt meaning we hit the target. I fall farther down the seats in the back. Allowing Stiles to jump out of the car and explain himself. I saw Scott run away from the car pile up Stiles created. I slipped my phone out shooting Scott a text asking what the hell he was doing. To no ones surprise he dosen't answer. I think back to Allison sitting in Scott's room all alone.

SHIT. Was going to do something stupid. "STILES GET IN THE DAMN CAR!"

"What?"

"You heard what I said."

"Mrs. McCall I'll pay for any damages just I have to go." Stiles gets back into the drivers Seat. "What the hel-"

"Take me to the clink."

"Scott's job?"

"YES!"
