'master plan'

⋅⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅⋅

AFTER ALYSSA HAD told Scott that the two of them were mates and connected, they had made it to the warehouse pretty quickly, Alyssa speeding up the car as soon as she had told Scott the big secret she had been keeping from him. He had taken it pretty well, better than she thought he would, and she was glad that she had finally opened up about what she had found out from Derek - neither of them knew what to do about the fact that they were mates, but they also both knew that they had to help Derek defeat the Kanima, until then, they knew they needed to push their thoughts and questions to the back of their minds until this was all over, and they could all finally breathe again.
The girl climbed out of the car after parking, Scott following closely behind her as they walked into the warehouse with Argent and Isaac, "Guys, I think he stopped moving." Isaac spoke up, looking in the back of Argents car at a now still Jackson, who had stopped moving since the car had parked inside of this warehouse. Alyssa looked at the car with a nervous expression on her face, not knowing what they were going to do and how they were going to stop Jackson from killing anyone else - she just hoped that Derek and Peter had a plan..

"Where's Derek?" Argent asked, knowing that they needed him in order for their plan to work and to stop Jackson once and for all.

Alyssa looked around the warehouse in confusion, wondering why Derek wasn't here yet as he had left before them, before she realised that she had his car and he probably had to make his own way here without it. "I have his car, he should be here soon." The girl told Argent, who nodded at her words. This was when they turned around and saw Derek running into the warehouse on all fours, obviously having heard Argent with his sister and wanting to show off or show that he still had the power in case the hunter tried anything, "Showoff." Alyssa mumbled, rolling her eyes at the entrance Derek had chosen. Even Scott rolled his eyes at Derek's entrance, knowing that it was unnecessary.

"I'm here for Jackson. Not you." Argent told Derek, noticing how the man had stood up in a defensive position, glaring at the hunter like he was the most evil person in the room.

"Somehow I don't find that very comforting." Derek told Argent, knowing that he couldn't trust this man just because he said that he wasn't here for him. The man had spent weeks trying to kill him and the rest of his pack, and he was to just believe him when he said that he wasn't here for them? He found that pretty hard to believe. "Get him inside." Derek then instructed the three teens, who were watching him and Argent with nervous eyes, not knowing if Derek or Argent were going to try anything..

"Where's Peter and Lydia?" Scott asked, as he stood in front of Jackson's body, waiting for the two of them to come and save Jackson from this Kanima state and bring him back to his human phase. "You said you knew how to save him." He stated, when Derek didn't answer him, instead, crouching down to open the body bag that Jackson's body was currently lying in.

"Derek, what's happening?" Alyssa asked, stepping forwards in case her brother was going to try something stupid, "I thought you knew how to save him?" She asked him, as he simply ignored her, unzipping the body bag.

"We're past that." Derek told Scott and Alyssa, knowing that he had to kill Jackson now to stop him from murdering anyone else, as that is what he will definitely do if they don't stop him now. Scott began to panic and shout, until Derek interrupted him, "Think about it, Scott. Gerard controls him now. He's turned Jackson into his own personal guard dog, and he set all of this in motion so that Jackson could get even bigger and more powerful." He explained, watching as Scott's face fell at the revelation.

"No." Chris said, shaking his head, not wanting to believe that his father would do something like that when all of his life he had been so against the supernatural and stopping them; it was like his whole life was a lie. "No. He wouldn't do that, if Jackson's a dog, he's turning rabid, and my father wouldn't let a rabid dog live." He denied.

"We're talking about the man that killed our entire family. You really believe that?" Alyssa snarled, backing her brother up as she didn't like the way Argent was looking at him, like he was the scum of the earth. Gerard practically ordered Kate to kill the whole Hale family, and was proud when she did so - how was this any different from that? He was the villain, and she didn't know how this man couldn't see that, as he was a smart man.

"Of course I wouldn't." Gerard spoke up, announcing his arrival to the werewolves and his son, "Anything that dangerous, that out of control.. Is better off dead." He said, a sly smirk on his face when he realised that he had won, he had Jackson on his side and he was going to take over.

Derek didn't think twice before extending his claws and lowering down to slice Jackson's neck open, Alyssa realising that maybe the man was right, with Jackson under Gerard's control, keeping him alive was dangerous and they shouldn't be doing it. However, before Derek could even touch Jackson's skin, Jackson woke up, inserting his own claws into Derek's abdomen, the older male gasping at the sudden impact. "No!" Alyssa screamed out, watching as the scene went down, attempting to rush forwards and help him out, only for Scott to instantly hold her back, his arms wrapped around her stomach as he basically lifted her off of the ground to stop her from rushing towards Jackson as it was too risky, he didn't want her getting hurt and he wouldn't forgive himself if anything happened to her. The girl had to watch as Jackson threw Derek across the room, where he passed out from impact, and she couldn't believe that Scott would hold her back from helping him.

"Well done to the last, Scott." Gerard said, as Scott was struggling to keep his hold on Alyssa, the girl wanting nothing but to rush over to her brother and help him. "Like the concerned friend you are, you brought Jackson to Derek to save him. You just didn't realise that you were also bringing Derek to me." He exclaimed, an evil smile on his face as he did so.

With quick reaction time, Scott pushed Alyssa down out of the way when he saw Allison and her bow, aiming right at their heads - as she shot, she had missed Alyssa by an inch, and instead of hitting her, it hit Isaac behind them, the boy falling to the floor with a grunt of pain. "Allison?" Scott asked in shock, not knowing why the girl was now attacking them all when she was supposed to be on their side. Alyssa didn't hesitate to rush to Isaac and help him up, dragging him to safety so Allison couldn't hit him once again - once he was safe and out of shot from the hunter, she turned back around, seeing that Derek was head to head with Jackson in his full Kanima form.

Without thinking, the girl snarled, shifting into her wolf form, Scott and Isaac doing the same from behind her, before the three werewolves jumped into action, knowing that they had to stop Jackson now, or they won't get another chance to do so. Scott felt like he had to keep his eye on Alyssa during this fight, scared that something would happen to her, even just something small, he didn't think he would be able to deal with it if it was something he could've prevented. Ever since he found out about the fact they were connected, being mates, he felt like he couldn't let the girl out of his sight; like his biggest fear right now, was something happening to his girl, and he was afraid at what he'd do if that did happen. So, when Jackson swiped his claws at Alyssa, slicing her shoulder open, Scott roared loudly and quickly jumped in front of the girl, now shielding her from any danger, the girl didn't think much of it, as she just wanted to save her brother.
Alyssa, along with Derek, jumped from behind Jackson and Alyssa kicked the Kanima in the back, sending Jackson tumbling forwards from impact, but it didn't take him long to regain his balance and turn around, hissing at the two siblings. As the Kanima grabbed Derek's hand and swung him around, Alyssa jumped onto its back, sending a punch towards his head, but it hadn't done much, as the Kanima shrugged the girl off, throwing her to the other side of the room where Isaac was lying in pain, both grunting from impact of landing on him.

Scott didn't like to see this, he wanted anything but to see Alyssa in pain, so when he saw the girl flying across the room, he growled, kicking Jackson in the back and doing everything in his power to stop him, but he was just too powerful, nothing they did effected the Kanima, and he was starting to think that maybe he should have listened to Derek in the first place, then maybe none of this would be happening..
When the Kanima clawed Derek's stomach yet again, the man grunted as he fell to the floor, holding his wounded stomach in pain, groaning as his wound bled. Alyssa needed to fight, she needed to get up to help her brother, and she couldn't do that when she was lying on the floor next to Isaac, unmoving. She picked herself up, rushing towards Jackson yet again, but the Kanima seemed unfazed at her hits, grabbing her by the throat, and lifting her up into the air, the girl gasping for breath. Scott watched with wide eyes, not knowing what to do, as the Kanima did the same with Allison, the two girls now being held by Jackson, allowing Gerard to walk into the room finally, now knowing he can get what he wants.

"Not yet, sweetheart." Gerard told Allison, when she had tried to kill Derek without his permission, Alyssa glared at the man, also glaring at Allison as she was held next to her, the girl wanting nothing but to punch her in the face for going against them all.

"What are you doing?" Allison asked her grandfather in confusion, not understanding a thing about what was going on.

"He's doing what he came here to do." Scott announced, looking over at Gerard with a knowing look - Alyssa knew the plan, but she couldn't show that she knew, as she couldn't risk the plan being ruined, so she furrowed her brows in confusion, pretending like she didn't understand what Scott was talking about.

"Then you know." Gerard stated, looking at Scott in surprise.

"Know what, Scott?" Alyssa asked, holding up a fake look of shock.

"What's he talking about?" Allison asked, just as confused as Alyssa looked.

"It was the night outside the hospital wasn't it, when I threatened your mother and your mate." Gerard pointed out to Scott, it all finally making sense to him now. "I knew I saw something in your eyes. You could smell it, couldn't you?" He asked, smirking at how smart Scott really was - he underestimated the kid.

"He's dying." Isaac pointed out in shock.

"I am." Gerard agreed, "I have been for a while now. Unfortunately, science doesn't have a cure for cancer yet. But the supernatural does." He told everyone, as they all watched in silence.

When Gerard looked at Derek like he was a piece of meat, like he was the cure, Alyssa couldn't hold her growl back, causing Jackson to tighten his hold on her throat, the girl coughing as her airway tightened. Scott could feel his throat tightening himself, the anger surging through him at the sight of Alyssa getting hurt, all he wanted to do was get her away from Jackson and bring her to safety; he hated that he was so powerless. "You monster." Chris told his father, not knowing who the man was anymore.

"Not yet." Gerard told him, nothing phasing him in the slightest that his son was looking at him like he didn't know who he was anymore. "When it comes to survival, I'd kill my own son!" He shouted, Alyssa looking at the man like he was worse than the Kanima, which he is. "Scott." Gerard said, waiting for Scott to do what he said he'd do.

Alyssa looked at Scott like she didn't even know who he was anymore, but inside, she knew the plan, and she had her fingers crossed that it would work, she was praying that this would all go down the way Scott told her it would. All she had to do was pretend she didn't know what was going on, and after Gerard uses Derek, she'll be able to breathe again. The girl couldn't say anything due to the pressure being pushed down onto her throat, but she watched with wide eyes as Scott yanked her brother up, holding him up like bait towards Gerard. "Scott, don't. You know that he's gonna kill me right after." Derek told Scott, not knowing why he was believing a word that Gerard was saying to him, "You'll be an alpha." He said, upset that Scott was betraying him.

"That's true." Gerard said, smiling yet again that his plan was working, "But I think he already knows that, don't you, Scott?" He asked, looking towards the teenage boy holding Derek up by his neck. "He knows that the ultimate prize is Alyssa. Do this small task for me, and they can be together, I'll leave them alone. That is, if she wants to be with someone who murdered her own brother." He added, "You are the only piece that doesn't fit, Derek. And in case you haven't learned yet, there is just no competing with young love. With two mates." He trailed off, taking off his jacket.

"Scott! We can do this another way, please!" Alyssa fake pleaded, trying to struggle in Jackson's hold, only for the Kanima to tighten his hold once again, the girl gasping for breath once again.

"Scott, don't!" Derek also pleaded.

"I'm sorry." Scott apologised, the plan working fully and in action, "But I have to." He said, yanking Derek's head back so his teeth were out, ready for Gerard to place his arm in his mouth, hopefully curing his cancer.

It all happened so fast that Alyssa hardly realised what was going on, Gerard had pushed his skin into Derek's teeth, the man yelling out in pain as he was bit, Derek falling to the ground in weakness - Scott's plan worked. Gerard held his arm up in victory, but hadn't noticed the black goo that was dripping out of his arm, and quickly, "What is this? What did you do?" Gerard asked Scott, glaring at the young boy. Alyssa couldn't help but smirk when she realised that it was now all over, and that Scott had done it.

"Everyone said Gerard always had a plan. I had a plan too." Scott told Derek, Alyssa smiling proudly at her man, feeling incredibly happy that she was able to call him hers..

Gerard crushed his pills in his hand, the mountain ash dropping to the floor, "Mountain ash!" He yelled in anger, hating that Scott had won, he had tricked him.. It was then, did he fall to the floor, bleeding black from every part of his body, before projectile vomiting everywhere, and falling straight to the floor, unable to move.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Derek asked Scott in confusion.

"Because you may be an alpha. But you're not mine." Scott revealed, Alyssa smiling at his words once again and feeling incredibly proud at the how much he had matured. From the small, clueless boy she barely knew who had just been bitten by Peter, to the man he is now, the girl couldn't be more happy.
The second Alyssa got the chance, she ran to Scott's side, the boy instantly wrapping his arm around her and holding her close, shielding her from the debris from Stiles' car driving through the wall, Lydia finally appearing to save Jackson once and for all.

"Did I get him?" Stiles called out, barely opening his eyes to see if he had successfully ran over Jackson with his car.
When Jackson jumped up onto the hood of the jeep, Stiles ran towards Scott and Alyssa, who had to hold him back as Lydia held up her key so Jackson could see, hoping that it would bring him back to his human form and back to his normal state. It was upsetting to see Lydia so heartbroken at the sight of her lizard boyfriend, but Alyssa just wished that it would work, as Jackson began shifting back to his human form very slowly, taking the key from her hands with a confused look on his face, everyone thought that this would be it, this would be the moment where Jackson is brought back to his human state and back to normal, but they all thought wrong..

Derek ran up to Jackson, along with Peter, as the two men insetting their claws into the boys chest and back, lifting him up into the air as they killed him, doing what they had to do. "Scott, no!" Alyssa begged, holding him back as he tried to rush in and stop them from killing him, "You can't save everyone." She told him, taking ahold of his hand and giving it a squeeze, hurting that he was hurting. She hated that she couldn't take his pain away, the boy just wanted to save everyone, and she just hated that he couldn't, and that he took the blame and guilt when he failed to do so. They did everything they could for Jackson, but it just wasn't enough, and that wasn't their faults.
All there was left to do for Alyssa, was keep Scott back, and keep her hold on him to stop him from interfering - they did what they had to do, and it was no ones fault. She couldn't even keep the tears at bay as she watched Lydia cradle Jackson as he died, Scott sensing this, and pulling her into him with a sad look on his face. It was finally over.




--




Alyssa didn't know what to do now that Jackson was back to his human form and alive, they didn't have anything else to worry about, and for that reason alone, the girl felt strange, like they didn't have a purpose any longer.. She didn't understand the feeling, but it was there, and she just felt like it wasn't going to go away any time soon. "What's wrong?" Scott asked the girl, sitting down besides her on his bed, placing a hand on her knee to hopefully find out what is going through her mind at the moment and why she looked so upset.
Alyssa shrugged, not knowing how to explain to Scott on how she was currently feeling. "It's over, there's nothing more to worry about." Scott told her, draping his arm over her shoulders and pulling her into his hold, making sure to rub her arm comfortingly, he didn't know if she was still scared, but either way, all he wanted was for her to feel better.

"It's not that, Scott." Alyssa told him, looking up to face him and scooting away, confusing him, "What do we do now? Jackson's moving to London, and I feel like we have no purpose now." She admitted, knowing that no matter how much she didn't want to worry Scott with her feelings, they were together, and she knew that she had to tell him eventually.

Scott shook his head at her, "Don't be stupid, of course we have a purpose." He told her, taking both of her hands in his own and making her face him, "You will always have a purpose, don't ever think otherwise." He said, the girl cracking a small smile at his words.

"But, what do we do now?" Alyssa asked him, sulking.

Scott sighed, "Let's start, by figuring out what our bond is, and why it's happened." He suggested, knowing that he definitely wanted to find out more about this bond they shared and what it actually meant.

Alyssa nodded, "Deal." She told him, smiling when he leaned in to kiss her.

"I love you." Scott said, leaning his forehead on hers as they both looked at each other, the two holding love for each other that was clear as day.

"I love you too."
