Skye's POV

I sighed loudly as I crossed yet another warehouse off the map of Beacon Hills in my lap and glared down at it because it was starting to look really bleak given my map was covered in crosses given we've been at this for a few months now.

"Okay the next warehouse on the list is a few blocks from the old iron works building" I looked up at Derek and saw his blank stare out the front windscreen as he held the steering wheel tightly and saw his knuckles we're turning white. "This might be it this time" I added trying to sound positive.

"We've said that for the last couple of months and haven't found a single thing to say they're even alive" I reached over and took his hand squeezing it.

"We can't lose hope babe, Erica and Boyd have to be okay" we'd spent every waking moment looking for them ever since the Alpha pack left they're symbol on the Hale house door, I sighed loudly turning back to the map in my lap but winced when a painful twinge went up my shoulder.

"You okay?" he asked looking over at me worriedly making me smiled at his concern and nodded.

"Yeah, it's just a little tender still" I moved my sleeve past my shoulder so he could see for himself and smiled at the still fresh tattoo next to my old arrow one, it was an exact copy of Derek's triskele.

After defeating Gerard I realised that no matter what Derek is everything I need and want so I wanted to prove it to him and everyone who ever questioned my loyalty again that I was mated to a werewolf but am still loyal to my hunter heritage just the same so I got his mark tattooed next to my hunters mark to symbolize my two sides in the supernatural battles we face every day.

"I still think you're crazy for getting it but can't help love that your marked mine" I rolled my eyes at his statement but again couldn't help smile.

"Come on, we can't give up" I encouraged looking back down at the map, he sighed loudly then turned the key in the ignition and we went to the next warehouse that needed searching but of course it was empty just as the last one was and the three after that.

We gave up for today and he started driving home but I was starving and really needed to eat since the only thing I've had to eat today was half a piece of toast I'd shared with him as we we're out the door really early this morning.

"Can we stop for some food, I'm starving" he nodded pulling into our local pizza parlor and ordered two pizza's to go before we finally went home.

And yes we finally had a proper home now that we weren't on the run from the Argents, during the few months of summer break Derek and I had looked for places together given we could finally stop hiding and we found a really cool loft apartment that we both fell in love with but he'd surprised me by buying the entire building instead and it again made me question just how far his bank accounts go but never asked even though I wanted to.

We'd argued a little given he didn't allow me to put any money towards the loft but we then compromised finally and agreed I would pay half the utilities since I wanted us to be able to do something normal couples do and that was sharing living costs.

I walked into the loft and the first thing I noticed was the lack of Isaac on the couch where we'd left him passed out on this morning so I turned to Derek silently asking if he could hear him anywhere else in the loft but he shook his head.

"He must've gone out, probably searching for them too" I nodded then grabbed my phone and called his number but it went straight to voicemail which concerned me because I hated being out of touch with my boys especially Isaac who was more like a brother to me these days. "I'm sure he's fine, you we're hungry remember" I sighed nodded my head then walked over and flipped the pizza box open digging in straight away not noticing the strange look Derek gave me until I looked up mid-chew.

"What?"

"I thought you hated BBQ meatlovers, that was meant for me and Isaac" I looked down at the pizza I was currently eating then shrugged.

"Guess my subconscious wanted a change, that or my body doesn't care what it eats so long as it gets food since we haven't exactly been eating properly"

"I've told you you're welcome to stay home" I rolled my eyes at him as I took a seat and pulled my gun out of the back of my jeans putting it down on the table then grabbed a slice of simple cheese and started munching away happily.

"You need to eat to mister, don't just stand there and stare at me all day" he laughed sitting down beside me and grabbed a slice for himself.

"You know you're really starting to sound like one of those nagging housewives" I choked on a bit of my food looking up at him with wide eyes, he laughed harder and rolled his eyes at me so I glared at him then stood up angrily.

"Your such an ass sometimes" I walked over to the mini fridge and pulled out a couple of sodas cracking one open then looked down at my phone as it buzzed but it was a reminder of the first day back at school. "Argh, school is the last thing I wasn't to worry about right now" I moved back to the seat and slid one of the cans towards him but I doubted he'd actually take it since he wasn't a fan of soda much.

"School's a rite of passage Skye"

"Did you graduate?" he frowned and looked down so I took that as a no. "Didn't think so smart guy, I just think schools pointless, I'm not learning anything I couldn't just teach myself and I'm pretty sure I'm smarter than any teacher at that school, if it wasn't for Jake wanting me to be a normal teenager which is something he never got until he rebelled against our dad I would've dropped out by now and got my GED"

"I'm sure you are but there are some things you just can't learn yourself" he leaned over and took my hand. "Besides you should be able to be a normal teenager and high school unfortunately is one of those things" I rolled my eyes at him.

"You just want to get rid of me" I joked smirking up at him.

"Of course I don't but you deserve some normalcy in your life right now Skye"

"Smart ass" I whined then moved to sit in his lap. "If your gonna keep searching for Erica and Boyd without me then I want you to be careful, don't try and take on the entire Alpha pack by yourself and if you find they're hide out then you call me, no matter what okay?" he went to argue so I held my hand over his mouth. "Promise me Derek" he sighed so I removed my hand.

"Fine" I frowned because that wasn't a promise and I'd learnt by now not to take anything less then the actual words. "Okay I promise, I won't go up against them alone"

"Good" I pressed my lips to his and he was the one to deepen it.

I double checked my hair and make-up in the mirror before walking out of the bathroom and quickly changed in some leather jeans, red singlet top then pulled on my black leather jacket and combat boots before I walked towards the table and picked my bag and helmet getting ready to leave but hands around my waist quickly stopped me.

"No kiss?" I rolled my eyes but turned with a small smile and pressed my lips to his.

"Okay I got to go or I'm gonna be late on the first day back" he pouted like a three year old. "You're the one who wants me to be a normal high school teenager remember" he shook his head.

"Nope doesn't sound like me" he started walking me backwards towards our bed.

"Derek I'm serious I have to go"

"Oh I'm not stopping you" my knees hit the mattress and I fell back with him falling on top of me.

"This is…so…mm…unfair" I got out stopping each time he kissed my lips before they started trailing down my neck. "Didn't you get enough last night?" I asked running my hands up underneath his shirt over the perfect toned abs.

"I can never get enough of you" he replied playfully sucking on my neck.

"Then I'm sure you can wait for later" I pushed up on his shoulders getting him off me then quickly made a break for it. "Love you" I added as I walked out the door towards the elevator getting in and rode it down to the garage then started towards my bike just as my phone beeped.

That was cold Skyler, you better be home straight after school – Derek xx, I smiled at his text and quickly wrote one back.

Promise I'll make it up to you – Skye xoxo, I swung my leg over my bike and put the key in the ignition just as his reply came through.

You better!, ps. Love you Too – Derek, my smile grew as I shook my head then pocketed my phone and pulled on my helmet before speeding out of the garage and riding towards school.

Isaac's POV

"Yeah, yeah that's healing, visibly" Mrs McCall said as she inspected the wound I'd sustained last night during the hunt to find Erica and Boyd. "Wow they can't see this, nobody can see this" I looked over at the open door nervously.

"All right, cover it up" I stuttered.

"I don't think that's gonna matter, I mean your scheduled for surgery which is obviously gonna be very confusing for a lot of people"

"Okay, can you do something?" I asked her looking down at it.

"Me do something?" she asked with wide eyes. "I'm relatively new to all of this" she gestured with her hands towards my healing side. "And there's a Sheriff's Deputy that's stationed right outside the door"

"Have you tried calling Derek?" I asked turning back to her because I'd lost my phone last night.

"Like, five times" I frowned fighting the urge to roll my eyes as I tried to imagine what could be distracting him from answering calls. "Do you have any other emergency werewolf contacts?" even though she was distracted I knew I could always rely on her and of course Scott as well.

"Yeah, call Skye and Scott"

Skye's POV

I pulled my bike up into the parking lot then shut off the ignition and stared up at the building with distain because literally I couldn't think of a dozen places I'd rather be then trapped in this hell hole for two more years…Miami beach perhaps, I really needed a vacay.

I sighed taking my helmet off then headed inside heading straight to my locker and dropped off my helmet, bag and jacket since it was warm out and I didn't need it while inside then headed to the first class for today which happened to be English.

I took a seat in front of Stiles but made no motion to talk to him or Scott since that was another thing that never really worked out during the break and it was even worse with Allison so when I saw her and Lydia walk in I kept my head down pretending to fiddle with my stationary as she walked over to the only available seat that was left which so happened to be in front of Scott and next to me.

"Is anyone…?" she asked so I looked up briefly seeing she'd directed the question at Scott.

"No, no, no it's all you, all yours…uh it's totally vacant" I stifled a small laugh at his reply but shut up when he and Allison both turned to me so I quickly looked away again but then my phone buzzed against my desk making me immediately jump to answer it thinking it was Isaac but frowned reading the message from an unknown number and since everyone's phone also rang at the same time.

"'The offing was barred by a black bank of clouds and the tranquil waterway leading to the uttermost ends of the earth flowed somber under an overcast sky, seemed to lead into the heart of an immense darkness'" I raised an eyebrow towards the woman who'd just walked in reading the text displayed on our phones which was clear she'd just sent us weaning this was the new English teacher. "This is the last line of the first book we are going to read, it is also the last text you will receive in this class, phones off everyone" I glared at her because who was she to tell me what to do especially when I need my phone on at all times so I switched it to silence instead and pocketed it.

I got to work copying the notes as she wrote them down on the board then started feeling my phone vibrating in my pocket so I quickly looked up at our new teacher before slyly taking it out of my pocket to check it but the call rang out before I had the chance to see who it was.

"Miss…Venandi, I said no phones" my eyes snapped up to see the teacher in front of me and saw she was holding her hand out for it.

"Yeah no" I scoffed putting it back into my pocket.

"Phone now or I'll have to take it up with your parents"

"Go ahead, they're both dead" I spat back and saw everyone staring at us now but I didn't care, I needed my phone and wasn't about to give it to this woman who waltzed in here and thought she could immediately tell me what to do, she might be a teacher but that meant nothing to me when it came down to Derek and the packs safety.

"I don't care for your attitude Miss Venandi" before I could argue the principal walked in and they shared a few hushed words before she looked up again as the principal walked out as quickly as he came. "Mr McCall, Miss Venandi?" she gestured us to stand and follow her, I frowned sharing a look with Scott before I stood gathering my stuff and followed her out of the class room. "I'm sure its an emergency if Scott's mom needs you both to leave school but I'm gonna give you a warning in the nicest possible way, I am well aware of both your attendance records…and attitudes" she pointed that at me. "I don't wanna see you slip back into old habits" I glared at her and come to the conclusion that I really didn't like this teacher and it was only the first day.

"I won't, it's gonna be different this year" Scott argued.

"Resolutions are only good if you stick with them Scott"

"I will, I promise it won't be ephemeral" I stifled the laughter again as Scott and I walked away from the teacher.

"Ephemeral, really?" he looked over and shrugged making me frown before I quickly grabbed my helmet and jacket out of my locker before catching up with him again. "Look I know we didn't talk all summer but I think we at least need to be civil on some level considering what we know" he looked over again then nodded but then his eyes dropped to my shoulder and I looked down too seeing my tattoo. "Uh…long story" I shrugged it off pulling my jacket on to cover it.

"I agree Skye, we've never been the best of friends but your right we need to at least try being some level of friends" I smiled nodding my head as we reached my bike.

"Need a ride?"

"Nope, I'm good" he looked over to a green dirt bike and I smiled nodding my head.

"See you there then Scooby" he rolled his eyes at my nickname for him but smiled before walking over to his bike getting on so I turned mine on then sped out of the parking lot without even waiting for him since I had a feeling it was bad and wanted to get to the hospital as fast as I could.

I pulled up out the front of the hospital and Scott was not that far behind me so we quickly walked in and Mrs McCall met us at the door.

"Thank god you two are here, it's Isaac he was brought in early this morning-"

"What?" I asked.

"I've tried to call Derek but he hasn't answered"

"At all?" I asked shocked since that didn't sound like him at all, she shook her head.

"Why didn't you tell us before?" Scott asked her as we started walking in.

"Honestly I was hoping I wouldn't have to" I frowned but she was looking at Scott so I knew it wasn't directed at me.

"What do you mean?" Scott asked her again.

"Everything that you've been doing, the extra reading, the summer school, saving up for the bike even though it scares me half to death…honey I just didn't want to disrupt a good rhythm"

"It's not gonna stop" Scott replied stopping her and even though they were having a family moment I wished she'd just tell me where Isaac is. "I'm gonna be better this year, a better student, a better son, a better friend, a better everything I promise"

"Okay, he's in 215 if he isn't already in surgery"

"Okay thank you" he kissed her cheek then we quickly made our way down the hall and into the elevator but just as the doors closed a cane stopped them and the doors opened up to reveal a blind man and he walked into the elevator so I moved to the side to make room.

"Would you hit the button for the second floor please?" Scott hit the button even though it was already pressed and we rode up in absolute silence but I couldn't help stare at the man in front of us with furrowed brows because I felt like I'd seen him before but couldn't quite put my finger on where. "You wouldn't mind helping me out for a second, would you?" he asked when the elevator stopped and put his hand on Scott's shoulder.

"Um, sure" as soon as Scott helped him off the elevator we were able to finally look for Isaac again and we walked down each hallway in search of his room but Scott suddenly grabbed my hand stopping me.

I looked up confused but he was looking down the hall towards the elevator and that's when I saw what had caught his attention, Isaac was sitting unconscious in a wheelchair with some guy with him and as soon as he spotted us he smirked and pushed a button.

"No!" I screamed as I ran down the hall towards them concluding that this was one of the Alpha pack and they we're trying to take Isaac now.

Scott wasn't far behind me after flipping out his claws and growling at the Alpha and managing to overtake me and jump into the elevator just as the doors closed but I didn't make it in time and hit the closed doors then looked up seeing the elevator was going down.

"Son of a bitch!" I quickly turned and ran for the stairs running down two flights before rushing out the door towards the elevator but skidded to a stop when I saw Derek there and the Alpha down the hall on the floor. "Uh…what the hell…did I…miss?" I huffed trying to catch my breath, I was so out of shape.

"Aren't you two supposed to be in school?" I rolled my eyes.

"Well yeah but according to Melissa you weren't answering your calls and it seemed it was a good thing we were here" I sighed then moved over to Isaac and checked his pulse. "He's okay, I think"

"We need to move" Derek said coming over and picked up Isaac before we quickly made our way out of the hospital towards his car and he put Isaac into the back.

"We're right behind you" he nodded at me then Scott and I went over to our bikes getting on and followed Derek to the Hale house since he was adamant that there was something there that could help wake Isaac.

We pulled up and immediately went inside walking over to a table where Derek laid Isaac down on before going over to the hole Peter had come out of and started looking around for something as I gently brushed Isaac's hair out of the way and held his hand watching his breathing.

"You don't still live here, do you?" I looked up at Scott as he walked over to us and scoffed shaking my head.

"No" Derek replied shifting some debris aside. "The county took it over but there's something here that I need, it'll help heal a wound from an Alpha" I frowned looking down at Isaac again and squeezed his hand.

"Yeah but it did heal" Scott argued.

"Not on the inside" Derek replied shaking his head and picking up some wolfsbane.

"Hey are you gonna tell me who that was back there?" Derek and I both looked up at him then shared a look. "That Alpha?"

"A rival pack, it's my problem" I glared at him clearing my throat loudly. "Our problem" he added looking over at me. "I know you want to help and you did, I owe you one now go home" he picked up more of the purple wolfsbane then stood. "Go back to being a teenager" I rolled my eyes as he walked toward the table again and started picking apart the wolfsbane.

"Uh…hey Derek" we looked up seeing Scott hesitating by the door. "If you wanna repay that favor now, there is something you can do for me" I raised an eyebrow at him. "I got a tattoo but it healed and I was wondering if it's possible to get it back" Derek's eyes widened in recognition then turned to me.

"There's a blowtorch in the back of my car, can you get it for me?" Scott and I both looked at him curiously but I nodded then let go of Isaac's hand and went out to his Toyota and opened up the back and grabbed the blowtorch just as I suddenly heard tires come to a halt on the gravel path so I turned and saw Stiles' baby blue Jeep pull up.

"What is that for?" Stiles asked gesturing to the blowtorch in my hand as he got out.

"I have no idea" I replied honestly then we headed inside. "Here" I put the blowtorch down on some crates next to Derek since they'd moved to a corner of the room and he was sitting in front of Scott.

"Thanks" he replied giving me a small smile before turning back to Scott then used his werewolf eyes to look at Scott's arm. "Yeah I see it, its two bands right?" Scott nodded his head. "What does it mean?"

"I don't know, it's just something that I traced with my fingers" Scott replied then traced the pattern into the dust on a crate.

"Why is this so important to you?" Derek asked him.

"Do you know what the word 'tattoo' means?" I frowned confused as what that had to do with anything.

"To mark something" Stiles answered proudly.

"Well that's in Tahitian, in Samoan it means 'open wound'" we all shared a look before looking back at Scott. "I knew I wanted to get a tattoo when I turned eighteen I always wanted one, I just decided to get it now to make it kind of a reward"

"For what?" Derek and I asked him at the same time.

"For not calling or texting Allison all summer, even when I really wanted to, even when it was so hard not to sometimes" I felt bad for Scott, for not being able to be with the one you loved. "I was trying to giver her the space she wants" he sighed loudly. "Going four months later it still hurts, it still feels like a-" he trailed off.

"Like an open wound" I finished nodding my head at him since I knew a little bit about emotional wounds that never seemed to close.

"Yeah" he agreed looking down.

"The pain is going be worse than everything you've ever felt" Derek spoke up picking up the blowtorch.

"Oh that's great" Stiles mumbled.

"Do it" Scott nodded so Derek smiled a little then lit the blowtorch.

"Oh wow, that's a lot for me so I'm gonna take that as my cue, I'm just gonna wait outside" I rolled my eyes at Stiles as he started towards the door but Derek reached out and stopped him before he could.

"Nope, you can help Skye hold him down" I laughed as Stiles begrudgingly came over and we each grabbed hold of one of Scott's shoulders and held him down, Derek nodded then grabbed a hold of Scott's arm moving it towards him.

"Oh my god" Stiles mumbled to himself again.

"Stop being a baby" I groaned looking over at him but even I was feeling a little apprehensive at this one and looked away when the flame touched Scott's skin and he started to scream out loudly but kept my hands locked on his shoulder holding him down.

"Hold him" Derek said when Scott really started thrashing around, it was a long painful tortuous couple of minutes listening to Scott scream as Derek burnt away the skin and when it was almost done Scott finally passed out from the pain. "It's done" Derek turned off the blowtorch and moved away leaving Scott slumped in the chair.

"Well that was fun" I muttered and Derek smiled as we stepped back and waited for Scott to come around which didn't take long as he awoke with a loud gasp sitting upright in the chair then looked down to see the newly shown tattoo on his arm.

"It worked" he said looking up at us with a huge smile.

"Looks cool Scott" I added as he got up pulling his shirt back on.

"Well it looks pretty damn permanent now" I rolled my eyes smiling at them as they started walking towards the door.

"Yeah, I kind of needed something permanent" I zoned the rest out turning back to Derek and hugged him.

"How's yours?" he asked moving my leather jacket aside to see my add-on tattoo.

"It's fine, you need to stop worrying"

"You painted the door?" we looked up and saw Scott looking back at us staring then back to the door frowning. "Why'd you paint the door?"

"Go home, Scott" Derek replied leaving no room for arguments because we'd all agreed to leave them out of it.

"And why only one side?" Scott continued to persist then flipped out his claws and started scratching at the paint.

"Scott!" Derek exclaimed walking towards him but Scott ignored him and continued clawing away the paint off the door before stepping away when he'd revealed the Alpha's symbol.

"The birds at school and the deer last night, just like the night I got trampled by the deer when I got bit by the Alpha" Derek crossed his arms glaring at Scott. "How many are there?" Derek and I shared a look before he sighed loudly turning back to them.

"A pack of them, an Alpha pack"

"All of them, how does that even work?" Stiles asked.

"We've heard there's some kind of leader-

"He's called Deucalion" I added cutting Derek off and they turned to me. "My father once tried to hunt them down, he ended up in hospital and wouldn't speak of them again" Derek wrapped his arm around my waist knowing I didn't like talking about my father.

"We know they have Erica and Boyd" I frowned looking down at the ground. "Peter, Isaac, Skye and I have been looking for them for the last four months" Derek added.

"Let's say you find them, how do you deal with an Alpha pack?" Scott asked stepping forward.

"With all the help I can get" Derek replied looking at him, they quickly shared a look of their own but before they could reply we were all surprised by a different voice and looked over to see Isaac sitting upright looking over at us.

"Where is she, where's the girl?"

"What girl?" Derek asked him with the same amount of confusion I was feeling.
