'second chance at first line'

      ⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅

IN THE CEMETERY within Beacon Hills, Alyssa and Derek were tracking the alpha, where his scent had gone cold, meaning that they had lost track of it. It's nearly impossible to find this thing, this was going to be a lot harder than the Hale siblings thought.

"Find anything?" Derek asked Alyssa, earning head shake from the girl as to say 'no'. Derek sighed, when suddenly, they heard a low growl from behind them.

When they turned around, they saw two red eyes staring right back at them, causing Derek and Alyssa to immediately shift in defence, charging at each other, ready for a fight.
Derek swung his claws at the alpha first, only for the alpha to block the hit with ease; he then tried to kick it in the side, but the alpha had grabbed his leg and chucked him to the side like a rag doll.

Alyssa prepared herself and went to claw the stomach of the alpha, only for it to duck backwards away from the hit, successfully dodging it. Alyssa grunted in frustration and went to hit it again, however, the alpha managed to block once more and had wacked her round the head, causing her to go flying into a gravestone.

As she hit the gravestone, she immediately felt blood run down her face from where she was hit on her forehead, just when the alpha took of running.
Derek began to make his way over to Alyssa to ensure that she was okay, only for her to tell him to go after the alpha.

After hesitation, he ran after it, in attempt to catch it again, while Alyssa gathered her strength up to join him.
When she did, she saw him walking back to the cemetery with a sour look on his face.

"It got away." He said, angrily.

Alyssa sighed, she didn't know how they were going to catch this alpha when they can barely fight it. She just wished that they could have Scott's help, that way they may be able to stop it from killing innocent people in the town. Right now, she didn't know if anyone could stop him.

It was early in the morning and Alyssa had just finished getting ready for school, when there was a knock at the front door. She answered it hesitantly, wondering who would he knocking, or even visiting.

"Excuse me, Miss Hale. I'm Sheriff Stilinski and this is Officer Chase." The sheriff introduced himself.

Alyssa gave them a confused look, "Can I help you?" She asked, wondering why they would be here.

"Is your brother, Derek, home?" The sheriff asked.

"Why?" Alyssa replied with sass, not answering his question about her brother.

"May we come in?" He asked another question.

Alyssa stood in the way and crossed her arms, "Do you have a warrant to come in?" She asked them.

"Alyssa, who is it?" Derek asked, coming down the stairs.

"The cops." Alyssa told him as he came to the front door.

"Derek Hale, you are under arrest for the suspicion of murder." Sheriff Stilinski told him.

Alyssa's eyes widened, she didn't know how Derek could have been framed for murder, what murder? Did they find a body or something? She didn't know.
"Murder? Where did you get that idea?" She asked the sheriff, trying to control her anger.

"We have an anonymous tip on a dead body." He replied, then began cuffing Derek.

Alyssa scoffed, of course Scott and Stiles would do something this stupid. Couldn't they see that her and Derek were trying to help Scott?
Yeah, Derek may be an ass at times, and mysterious, but do they really think that he would be capable of murder?
The body in their yard was their sisters. The sister that the alpha had killed, not Derek, and not her. She couldn't help but feel betrayed that they would tip the cops about the body.

"Alyssa, don't do anything stupid." Derek warned her, speaking so only she could hear him, as he was placed into the cruiser.

She nodded at him as the sheriff came to speak to her. From the corner of her eye, she saw Stiles enter the cruiser to speak to Derek.
"Do you have any place to stay while Derek will be taken in for questioning?" He asked her.

She didn't, but she didn't want to let him know that, "Yeah, I'll stay at a family friends." She told him.
She then noticed that Derek looked angry at whatever Stiles was saying, "Your son is in your car." She told him, nodding towards Stiles and Derek.

The sheriff was quick to apologise, looking embarrassed, as he went to grab Stiles and yank him away from the car. Alyssa gave one last smile at Derek before walking off to Stiles's jeep, where Scott was sitting, watching Stiles and the sheriff.
She opened the passenger door, where he was sitting, causing him to jump in shock.

"What are you doing?" He asked breathlessly, from being scared.

Alyssa sighed and climbed over him and into the back, causing Scott to blush a colour of bright red. "You just got my brother arrested, so I need a lift to school." She told him.

Scott looked confused at this. He tried to ignore the blush that rose to his cheeks as he spoke, and the fact that his heart beat has risen the slightest, "You're not mad?" He asked.

Alyssa glared at him, "Obviously." She snarled, causing him to flinch back. She then smiled sweetly at him, "But, he'll be out by the end of the day, I won't want to be you when he does."

Later on that night, the lacrosse game was on, meaning that Alyssa still had to go to ensure that Scott doesn't wolf out.
Even if Derek was in jail because of this idiot and his stupid friend, she wasn't going to stop helping him, because Derek wouldn't want that.

When she met Lydia by the bleachers, Lydia was quick to drag her away towards Scott and Stiles, who were talking.
When they got to them, Lydia called Scott's name, and yanked his jersey so that they were face to face. Alyssa stood back, impressed at Lydia's confidence.
"I just want you to remember one thing for tonight." She told him, when she had his full attention.

Scott looked at Alyssa, confused, only for her to shrug at him, "Uh... Winning isn't everything?" He asked, hesitantly.

Lydia gave out a sarcastic laugh, before brushing his shoulder, "Nobody likes a loser." She told him, before walking away, not before giving a look at Alyssa to follow.

Before she could, Scott grabbed her arm, causing her to roll her eyes and turn to him, "I didn't think you were going to come." He told her.

She rolled her eyes at him, "Someone had to look out for you, since Derek is in jail." Alyssa snapped.

Scott sighed, "Look, we're sorry that we got Derek arrested, but he killed that girl." He told Alyssa.

Alyssa couldn't help but growl and flash her yellow eyes at the fact that Scott had just told her, Derek killed their sister. He let his hand drop from her arm as he saw her eyes as Stiles backed up from behind him.
She took a deep breath to calm herself, making her eyes return to her usual chestnut colour.

"You don't know how wrong you are about that." She told him, "You know... When people give you help, you don't throw false accusations of murder in their face. My brother's a good guy; he would never kill anyone." She told him, before walking away.
Scott couldn't help but feel guilty that he upset Alyssa, but brushed it off quickly, before returning to his game so he could win, and impress Allison.

She had walked back to where Lydia sat, only to find Allison and her father there. She couldn't help but feel a tad afraid at the fact that there was an Argent sitting near her, but he wouldn't dare try anything in front of all of these people.

Allison waved at Alyssa as she neared, "Hey, Alyssa." She greeted, causing Alyssa to smile at the girl. Allison turned to her Dad, "Dad. This is my other friend, Alyssa."

There was no doubt that he knew who she was, although he masked it pretty well as he stood up and gave her a polite smile and offered her his hand. She hesitantly took it.
"Nice to meet you, Alyssa. My daughter's told me a lot about you." He said, keeping up his smile.

She smiled back, trying to hide her nervousness, "Nice to meet you too, sir." She told him, before sitting next to Lydia, not wanting to take her chances in sitting next to the man who killed her kind.

As they were watching the game, Alyssa noticed that none of the other team were passing the ball to Scott. She gathered that it must be Jacksons doings, she really hated that guy.
When the ball landed on the floor, Scott went for it, only for him to he pushed to the side by Jackson.
Jackson then scored a goal, causing the crowd to stand up and cheer.

A little while later, Lydia and Allison held up a sign that read 'We Luv U Jackson', which caused Scott to look over at them, meaning that Stiles had followed his friends direction and looked over at them, seeing what Lydia was trying to do.
Alyssa could tell that Scott was getting angry, she sighed in annoyance.

"Which one is Scott again?" Argent asked the girls.

"Number 11." Allison said, sighing.

"Otherwise known as the only one who hasn't caught a single ball, this entire game." Lydia told him, smirking.

"I hope he's okay." Allison said.

"I hope we're okay. We need to win this." Lydia said, getting up, she then lifted up the Jackson sign, much higher than before, "Allison, a little help here." She told her, causing Allison to stand up and help.

Alyssa didn't help as this isn't what Scott needed, just because he got her brother arrested, didn't mean that he needed to be exposed to the whole school.
When he saw the sign again, he got even angrier, making him steal the ball and dodge any other players.
He then managed to score the goal, causing the whole crowd to cheer, including Alyssa, this time.

"To McCall! Pass to McCall!" The coach yelled at the team.

When the whistle blew again, the other team had the ball; when Scott paused in front of the player, he gave an intimidating look, making the other team member pass Scott the ball.
This made sure that he could score once more, the ball went through the goalies net and also through the goal.

Jesus. Alyssa thought.
She saw that Scott was slowly shifting, so she whispered, "Keep it under control, Scott." Knowing that he would be able to hear it.

When he did hear it, he calmed down and began to change back into his human form, causing Alyssa to sigh in relief.
That was when he won the game and she lost track of him.
She cursed under her breath and went to Stiles, who was still by the bench. "Where did he go?" She asked him, only for him to shake his head and shrug, indicating that he didn't know.

She then noticed his Dad, who was walking towards them, "Dad, what happened?" Stiles asked him.

Sheriff Stilinski ignored him and turned towards Alyssa, "I believe I owe you an apology, along with the rest of my team." He said to her, causing her to furrow her brows in confusion, he continued, "The medical examiner just reported back about they body that was found. There is animal hairs on the body, meaning that your brother is innocent, and will be released immediately." He told her with sympathy.

That was the best news that Alyssa had heard all day, she saw Stiles shocked face from the corner of her eye at the fact that Derek had been released, just like she told them he would.
She nodded, "Thank you, sir." She said, before giving him a polite smile.

She then walked away from the two Stilinski's so she could go and meet Derek, now that he was out of jail.
She really wouldn't want to be them two boys right now.
