A/N: Hi, this is my first Teen Wolf story and only my third overall story so please don't be too mean. I will put a picture up later but I don't have time right now. First off just a few 'warnings' just so no one is disappointed. I will try to keep all the characters as in character as possible. That means I will not be making any straight characters gay as I know a lot of stories do, just as I would not put Danny with a girl- unless it was for some weird plot device and not a real relationship. Just so no one is disappointed. Also I'm from the UK so if any language or spellings are different that is why but I will do my best.

Just a few set up details. For the purpose of my plot I have delayed the arrival of the alpha pack. It is canon up to season 3 and starts in the first episode just minus the alphas. In other words, Isaac isn't in the hospital, No deer or birds etc. So Lydia and Allison did go on their date and they didn't talk to Scott and Stiles. Also Erica and Boyd will not feature. The Alphas do have them. Whether they are just laying low or have retreated again I will leave to your imagination. Some scenes may appear to be missing in this chapter like the Scott and his Tattoo. That's because it's just the same as the episode. It will change after.

Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Wolf or any of the characters etc.

So on with the first chapter...

Chapter 1

Stiles pulled up outside Scott's house and they both jumped out the car.

"I can't believe you did that!" Scott exclaimed as they headed into his house.

"You're still- What is it Scott?" Stiles asked cutting himself off when he noticed Scott freeze and look around.

"Nothing" he shook his head and continued into the house.

"Ugh, she's probably going to think I'm stalking her now or something." Scott continued.

Scott was still upset about Stiles' stunt at the traffic lights. Lydia had actually set off while the light was still red and after a panicked stop and following them down the road for a while they had finally managed to turn off.

"And why would she think that?" Stiles asked as they entered the house and headed upstairs to Scott's room.

"I don't know. She looked totally freaked out."

"Look, you'll see her at school tomorrow, relax, everything will be fine." Stiles assured him.

The moment Lydia dropped her off at home Allison was out of the car waving a quick good bye to her and hurrying straight into the house. It felt so empty now. There was only her and her dad left. It was strange to think this house was once also home to her mother, her aunt and her grandfather. All of whom were gone now. She wondered if she would ever be able to see the house the same way; as a home. She quickly rushed up to her room shouting a quick 'I'm home' to her dad as she went. She immediately shut the door and collapsed on her bed. The double date had been a disaster. She had been right, she wasn't ready yet. She knew Lydia would probably be a little mad at her tomorrow for blowing it but right now she couldn't think about that. It had gone fine to start with. It hadn't been until the conversation split and suddenly it was a double date instead of four people hanging out and she had freaked. She had excused herself to go to the bathroom. She hadn't realised how long she had been until Lydia had actually come looking her and taken her back. They had called it a night when the conversation took a turn towards family and Allison had to explain how she had lost three members of her family in such a short time.

She began to get ready for bed. She wanted nothing more than to crawl into bed and just forget about everything. And possibly never get out of it. She was just about to crawl under the covers when there was a knock on her door.

"Come in." She called as she sat on her edge of her bed. She knew it was her dad. Another strange feeling; knowing it was her dad purely because there was no one else it could be. He came in and sat down next to her. He looked tired and there was a noticeable sadness in his eyes. She knew her dad was having a hard time with it all too.

"I have some news and I don't think you're going to like it."

"What is it?" she asked cautiously.

"First off I didn't want this but I didn't have a choice." Chris started to explain.

"Dad, you're starting to worry me, what is it?" She asked again, her eyes reflecting the concern in her voice.

"Since our family retired from hunting, and it's known that there are still werewolves here in Beacon Hills, some new hunters have come here to take over."

"I don't understand, I thought we were staying out of it. What does it have to do with us?" Allison asked confused.

"Well, this is the part I tried to stop, they're staying with us." He finally revealed.

"What?!"

"I know, I tried to prevent it but like I said I didn't have a choice. I will make sure they follow the code before I let them in but I can't stop them." Chris tried to assure his daughter.

"But what about-" She started to ask.

"We don't have to tell them anything but we can't stop them from acting on anything they find out."

"But Scott, dad!"

"Look, if they follow the code then you have nothing to worry about. Even if they find out, Scott hasn't killed anyone."

"But what if they don't."

"They will. They have to. We're here to make sure they do. We don't have family ties to them. If they break the code they're in trouble." Chris explained.

"But I thought we were staying out of this." Allison was still confused as to how this was supposed to work.

"We will. It's just going to be a little harder to do." Chris maintained. "Now go to bed. They don't arrive until tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?!"

"Go to sleep. We can talk properly in the morning." He said as he kissed her forehead and rose from the bed. "Goodnight." He turned to her as he reached the door giving her a smile.

"Goodnight." She returned as he stepped out and closed the door behind him. She sighed before climbing under the covers. All her thoughts about the disastrous double date were gone; replaced by the thought of their new house guests that were arriving the next day. Now more than ever she just wanted to never have to leave her bed again. Sleep didn't come easily.

They had arrive early. They were supposed to arrive the tomorrow but they had got into Beacon Hills the night before. It was too late to go to the Argents so they had decided to stay at a motel instead. Most of them were tired from the drive; they had been on the road for days to get here and most of them just wanted to sleep, that way they would be fresh for their introduction to the new town. Ready to start exploring. She hadn't felt like going to sleep just yet though. Instead she had decided to take a look at the town that was to be her new home for however long they were to be there. She had decided not to take a car in favour of walking. It seemed like a fairly quiet town, at this time of night anyway. She had seen two boys going into their house, some kids heading home, presumable after curfew but apart from that she had seen very little sign of life. She had also managed to catch a glimpse of the girl whose house they were to be invading. She had been rushing into the house having been dropped off by her friend. She made sure to memorise their faces. The more she could learn about this place the better. At that point she decided to turn in. She turned and headed back to the motel.

Allison woke up the next morning not having had much sleep the night before. The bombshell her dad had dropped on her had played on her mind all night. It didn't make sense why he had felt the need to tell her then instead of in the morning until now. She could hear other voices down stairs and that could only mean one thing; that when her dad said tomorrow he had meant morning. She quickly dragged herself out of bed and got dressed ready to go down stairs. She slipped out of her bedroom on to the landing and watched the scene beneath her, trying to stay out of sight so she didn't disturb them. They all seemed to be men from their early 20's to their mid-30's. She could make out one that appeared to be the leader talking to her dad. When she strained her ears she could just about make out what they were saying.

"We know how it works." She man seemed irritated.

"That doesn't seem to stop some people." Her dad was saying.

"You can rest assured that we follow the code." He asserted.

"All of you?" Her dad wasn't one to be fooled, not after he had seen his own family breaking it, twice, this time he would make sure they followed the code.

"Yes we all follow the code," a new female voice spoke up from out of Allison's eye line, "Well, me not so much, but they do." Allison crept closer to the banister to try to see the new person, she caught a glimpse of long, light brown hair disappearing through a door.

"Don't worry about her. She just a little enthusiastic." The man explained sounding less irritated now and perhaps a little worried. "They killed all her family." He explained. Allison stepped even closer to see what they were saying, it looked as though the man was about to go into more details and she was curious about her new house guests. Her movement seemed to catch their attention however because he stopped talking and they both turned to see her.

"Hi dad, I was just coming down for breakfast." She quickly covered as she started to come down the stairs having been caught now. Her dad turned back to the man.

"You were saying?" The man glanced at her, seemingly reluctant to talk in front of her. "You can talk in front of her. She knows."

"As long as one of us is with her you have nothing to worry about, she'll follow the code." He reiterated before he dismissed himself and followed the others.

"You failed to mention that today was this morning." Allison pointed out as he reached the bottom of the stairs.

"I didn't know what time they were arriving. They got in late last night, just be thankful they waited until this morning to move in. Come on, I'll get you breakfast. You sure you want to go to school today?"

"Yes dad, I'd rather be there than here while they move in." She explained, her dad still wasn't sure about coming back and her going to school but she needed to do it. And among a load of new hunters moving into her house was the last place she wanted to be. Besides, she had to warn Scott about them. He would need to be extra careful.

The first day back had been strange for Scott. He still hadn't spoken to Allison, he wasn't sure whether he wanted to see her or avoid her after their embarrassing almost interaction last night. He was also still trying to figure out how to make his tattoo permanent so it didn't heal. He knew there had to be a way, after all Derek had one.

He hadn't seen Allison since school started, he was just at his locker when suddenly she grabbed him.

"I need to talk to you." She blurted out.

"Um, hi." Scott said shocked.

"Sorry," She apologised as she realised. "I haven't seen you in months and that 's the first thing I say.." she started to go off before she remembered why she was talking to him. "Look, there's something I need to tell you. It's important."

"Okay," Scott accepted nervously.

"Not here, I don't know who they are. They could be listening."

"Who's they?" Scott asked, he was starting to worry now.

"Meet me at lunch okay?" she requested before she turned and headed off the class as the bell rang, leaving behind a confused Scott.

The rest of the morning dragged for Scott, he had no idea what Allison was in such a panic to tell him, her attitude was definitely a lot different than it had been last night but what she could need to tell him he had no idea and he couldn't get it off his mind. He and Stiles were finally on their way to the cafeteria for lunch when he spotted Allison, as he approached she beckoned him into an empty classroom, Stiles followed. Once they were all inside she closed the door and scanned the room to make sure it was empty. Her strange behaviour and the worry coming off her had Scott almost in a panic.

"Allison, what is it? You're starting to scare me." He called her back from her checking.

"Sorry, I know it's a little over the top. It's just if they find out..."

"If who find out?" Scott frowned.

"The new hunters."

"What?!" Stiles spoke up for the first time since entering the room.

"Since my family retired from it a new group of hunters has come to Beacon Hills. They're staying at my house." Allison finally explained.

"And you're dad's just letting them?" Scott asked shocked.

"Not exactly, he doesn't want them there but he doesn't have a choice. He didn't give me any further explanation."

"Do you know anything about them?" Scott questioned.

"They arrived this morning, I only saw one of the guys, I think he was the leader he was talking with my dad. They were arguing about the code. The guy said they follow it, but there's this girl. She said she doesn't."

"What does she look like, maybe we can stay out of her way or find out more about her." Stiles suggested.

"I didn't really see her, only her hair, it was long, light brown. The leader said werewolves killed her family, he said as long as one of them was with her she would follow the code but I don't know. She didn't sound like the type to follow orders."

"Do you think you could find out what they are planning? Just listen in around the house? Nothing dangerous." Scott asked. He hated putting her in any form or degree of danger but he couldn't see another option. It wasn't just him and Derek trying to avoid them like when the argent first arrived and they had no clue who these people were but they had no ties to protect them like Scott had had with Allison.

"I'll see what I can find out." Allison nodded and turned to leave the classroom.

"Be careful." Scott called to her as she reached the door. She nodded again before slipping out of the classroom. Scott waited for the door to close before he turned back to Stiles. "We have to warn Derek."

"Do we have to?" Stiles whined.

"Yes!" Scott insisted.

"Fine." Stiles relented.

"I can ask him about the tattoo too." Scott added as they too headed out the classroom for lunch.

They had hurried over to see Derek as soon as school had finished. They had found him at his old house.

"Are you living here?" Scott asked, surprised to find him there.

"No."

"Okay." Scott responded unsure how to give Derek this news.

"Is there any particular reason you were looking for me or...?"

"Yeah, I spoke to Allison today."

"And this has to do with me..."

"She said there are new hunters in town. They're staying at her house." Scott continued ignoring Derek's comment.

"New hunters?"

"Yes. Since her dad retired and they know there are still werewolves here some new hunters have come into town to take over for them. They're staying at her house, he dad doesn't what them there but apparently he doesn't have a choice or something." Scott relayed what he had learnt and figured out.

"Do we know anything out them?"

"The leader said they follow the code. But this girl said she doesn't. Allison thinks she could be trouble. She didn't see her but she said she had light brown, long hair."

"Well that narrows it down to half the population in Beacon Hills."

"Hey, we didn't have to come here and tell you. We could have just let the kill you." Stiles put in. Derek gave him a look and Stiles closed his mouth, deciding against saying anything else. Derek returned his attention to Scott.

"The leader told Allison's dad that her family was killed by werewolves so she's got a personal interest but the guy seemed to think she could be controlled. Allison wasn't so sure. She doesn't know how many there are but she's going to see what she can pick up." Scott finished.

"Okay, we'll deal with it." Derek dismissed them.

"Actually, there is one more thing."

Scott was rolling his sleeve back down over his arm covering his newly visible tattoo. It was starting to get dark outside now.

"So, what do you think Allison is going to find out about these hunters?" Stiles asked.

"I don't know but she text me telling me to meet her tomorrow so she can tell us what ever she finds out."

Their conversation was interrupted by the sound of someone approaching. It turned out to be Isaac. He stumbled through the door, blood still on his shirt. Scott rushed over to him and helped him into the house. Derek also came over to check on his beta. Isaac attempted to start a few times, still trying to catch his breath. Eventually it calmed enough for him to speak.

"There's some new hunters in town." He finally managed.

"We know." Derek informed him.

"How did yo-"

"Allison told us." Stiles filled in.

"Well there's more." Isaac started.

She had followed the young werewolf as he ran from them. She had managed to slip away from the others and followed him, slipping out of sight and waiting until he thought he had escaped. Then she had followed him to the rest of the pack. She had glimpsed three people inside the house excluding the beta that had just run in. As she saw them go to help him she turned away and headed back to the others. This would be a useful piece of information. She just had to decide whether she wanted to share it with the others or not.

"Some family was attacked. Three of them were killed and the youngest daughter has been taken." Isaac went on.

"But was does that have to do wi-" Scott started to ask.

"It was a werewolf. At least the hunters think it was." Isaac cut him off.

"Which means you're the suspects. So the code won't matter." Stiles finished.

"So what do we do?" Scott wondered aloud.

"We find the werewolf that did do it." Stiles explained.

"And how do we go about doing that?" Scott asked, it didn't sound like an easy task.

"We work together." Derek answered.

I hope you liked it, let me know what you think. Reviews make me feel obligated to write and update faster. I will also give you a summary of the next chapter if you do (and if I can respond-ie. guests I can't). See you in the next chapter.(*smiles*)
