A/N: This Chapter will have a brief change of POV to Scott's
Skye's POV
Derek hadn't gotten back to Scott or me and I was beyond worried as all of our efforts to track him have been fruitless he isn't in Beacon Hills and he wouldn't have just left especially without finding some way to let me know
"Okay so how long has it been" Stile's asked us as we walked into the animal clinic
"Weeks, he hasn't gotten back to any of my texts" Scott replied
"Has Derek ever returned your texts" Stile's asked Scott
"Once definitely once" Scott answered
"And he always gets back to me" I cut in
"But this time it felt different, Skyler was bleeding so we went to the loft, the alarm was on everything looked okay but then we found these" we showed them the shell casings
"We sent a picture to Deaton, he said it's the mark of a family of hunters based out of Mexico" I said
"The Calavera's" Scott added looking at me
"What would they want with Derek" Lydia asked us
"You don't think they killed him do you" Stile's asked as well
"I don't know" Scott replied
"No I would feel that Derek's alive" I cut in
"That's why you're here" Scott continued ignoring my comment and nodded at Lydia then pushed the container to her
Lydia took the tin and pulled out the bullet shell casings then dropped them to the table and by the look on her face she heard something and it didn't look good
"Lydia what, is he dead" I asked her feeling like my heart was about to explode out of my chest
"No" I let out a breathe of relief "But I'm not sure he's alive either"
"What does that mean" I said raising my voice a bit
"I don't know, there's something not right I just, I don't know" Lydia replied undeterred by my yelling
"So if the Calavera's have him, how do we find them" Stile's asked and Scott picked up one of the bullets and stared at the skull engraved into the side of it
"Mexico" was all he said
So that's how we found ourselves in a club trying to blend in, I saw Malia dancing, Kira sitting on one of the lounges drinking something, Scott was by the exit and I was dancing with some guy trying desperately blend in but not to touch him as Derek wouldn't like that, I was trying to listen to Lydia and Stile's talking to the older women in case they needed our help but it was hard with the loud music in here
"Severo hates this music, me I've always loved the music of youth, this kind especially it has a savage energy"
"We're here for Derek Hale" Lydia said
"Is that so?"
"We know you have him" there was a brink pause "We've heard you can be brought"
"That's $50,000 for Derek" Stile's said, I wished I could have been in that room but Scott said they would have killed us on sight if they knew any of us were here before we even had a chance to get Derek back
"Now, where does a teenage boy get money like this" just take the deal lady and give me my mate "Japanese mafia" I heard guns loading rounds into place and had to fight to keep my control "Not smart to come alone"
"What makes you think we came alone" I heard Stile's say and smiled
"You brought a wolf into my home" I heard the old bat say
"We brought two Alpha's" I let my eyes glow red for a minute, I saw Scott, Malia and Kira's eyes glowing as well which made me smirk
"Something's happening" I heard Kira say as she walked up to Malia
"I know" Malia replied still bouncing along to the music
"What do we do" Kira asked
"Blend in" I continued to dance with this guy but I don't even remember his name and was almost ready to punch him in the face because he was getting really hansy "Dance with me dumbass"
"Oh" Kira started dancing and it was horrible even in my books as I wasn't the best dancer either, I laughed when I saw Malia help her and they really started to get into it and other people started dancing around them, I continued to focus on blending in myself and listening to make sure Lydia and Stiles were okay
"My friends I don't think you're aware of your poor timing do you know what the dark moon is"
"The part of the lunar phase when the moon is least visible in the sky" Lydia replied
"But do you know its meaning" why couldn't this lady just get the point and give us Derek
"Some people say it's a time of reflection or grief" Lydia again answered
"Grief and loss mija, I wonder why when you and your friends have suffered so much loss you would risk it again for someone like Derek Hale" because lady he's everything to me
Scott walked up to me and we shared a look, I nodded and followed him not caring that I walked away from the guy I was dancing with but he didn't seem to care anyway and immediately started dancing with some other poor girl
"Cause we don't like to lose" Stile's replied as Scott and I took out a couple of guards
"Stile's take ten off the table" Scott said into the radio
"Maybe you should just take the deal" Lydia said
"While I am keen to follow the warning of a banshee I'm going to have to decline" Scott and I went back to the dance floor just in time to take out a couple of guards that were attacking Kira and Malia then we all left the dance floor and went down some corridors but then smoke started coming out and it was Wolfsbane
"Kira…Kira get out of here" Scott yelled but she was knocked out and Malia, Scott and I were all choking on it when the woman turned up
"Someone who has been an Alpha only a few months should be more careful when facing a hunter of forty years and I'd expected better from the Alpha mate to Derek Hale" she said looking at me and Scott
"All we want is Derek" I said coughing and looked up at her as my vision started blurring, wolfsbane was more poisonous to me than the others and it could kill me a lot faster
"My Lobito's, you're a long way from home" she replied as all three of us were choking on the gas
"You don't know where he is either" Scott said then she shocked him which knocked him out then she did the same to me and Malia
When we finally woke up we were in another room, I shot up looked around at the others who were all standing around
"What happened where are we?" I asked them as I sat up
"We don't know they dragged us in here" Stiles replied, I looked around and noticed Lydia wasn't here
"Where's Lydia" I asked them and stood up
"That hunter has her, Araya I think" I sighed and rubbed my neck nervously then heard Scott start to stir
"He's awake guys, he's awake" Kira yelled she walked over to him
"Scott you okay" I asked as we helped him sit up
"Yeah" he replied "They don't have him, they don't have Derek"
"We know" Kira replied "But right now they've got Lydia"
"Lydia what do they want with Lydia" Scott asked
"We don't know" I replied, Scott got up and went to the door trying to get it open but I already knew that was useless, they would have reinforced it specifically so werewolves couldn't get it open
"We already looked for a way out" Kira said "I think a lot of people have"
"I say when that door opens again we take out whoevers standing in the way and run for it" Malia cut in making us all turn to look at her
"What about Lydia" Kira asked
"What about her" Malia replied and I rolled my eyes
"Were not leaving without her" I stated
"Why not" Malia asked and Stile's went to her
"Because we don't leave without people remember we talked about this, rules of the wild kingdom don't apply to friends" Stile's told her
"Is that what you would do as a coyote, leave her for dead" Kira asked
"If she was weak and injured yeah, if hunting had been bad that season I would eat her then I'd leave" Malia replied
"Mm believe it or not that's progress" Stile's cut in making me roll my eyes again, all this was pointless Derek was still missing and if the Calavera's didn't have him than we are back to square one and we needed to find him, I had to find him
"All right guys, were not dead yet and that means Araya wants something" Scott said stopping the useless conversation
"But if the Calavera's don't know where Derek is, that means they didn't take him from the loft right" Kira said
"Maybe he left on his own" Stile's stated
"No he wouldn't do that, not without telling me" I argued
"Maybe someone else got to him" Scott replied just as three people came in and they zapped me and Scott then they took us and Kira then dragged us into another room chaining us to metal chairs which had wires attached to them then they brought Lydia in and chained her in-between us and as they dragged Kira over to the dial box which controlled the electricity I remembered the setup from when Kate tortured Derek
"Let her go, look you've got me just let the others go" Scott said trying to reason with Araya
"Your hand goes here" the guy said placing Kira's hand on the dial "So let me explain what's about to happen, this one" he gestured to Kira "The fox has an immunity to electricity, so she's going to turn the dial on the Alpha's" Scott and I shared a look "If she doesn't I turn the dial on the Banshee"
"No I'm not doing this" Kira argued looking at Scott
"Are you sure" the guy said forcing her hand back on the dial "Two of your friends have the power to heal, the other not so much" we all shared at look with Lydia
"What are you doing is this a game to you" I asked turning to Araya, I knew she was the one who kidnapped Derek and Peter which only added to my detest towards her
"This is a test Lobito's, let's see if you's pass, we're going to ask some questions you answer them correctly nobody gets hurt, you don't answer we turn on the dial" Scott and I both looked at Kira
"Do as they say, okay whatever they want" Scott told her
"We can take it" I added nodding at her when she looked for my input because I knew it was better we get electrocuted then Lydia
"So…we don't know where Derek is, we want to find him as well, you know who took him"
"What" Scott exclaimed "How would we know that?"
"That doesn't sound like an answer" Araya said
"We don't know" Lydia cut in
"Why do you think we came here" I added looking at Araya
"Kira, turn the dial" Kira shook her head "Should we turn the dial on Lydia instead"
"Wait no, no" Scott yelled "Do it Kira" I sighed
"Do it" I nodded
"Let's start at one" I clenched my fists when the electrify started flowing through our bodies and fought the scream in my throat "Tell me who actually has Derek, who had a reason, a vendetta particular to the Hales"
"We said we don't know" I replied fighting against the cuffs as the electricity kept coming
"Oh you don't know because you haven't figured it out yet, so think" Araya replied angrily, I felt my eyes shift "Who could've taken him"
"Tres" the guy holding Kira said and I knew that was three in Spanish
"It's okay, it's okay" Scott said when Kira stared at him, she turned the dial and I threw my head back in agony
"Who had the power, the power of a shapeshifter?"
"We don't know" Scott and I cried out grunting
"Someone who could have turned without you knowing, turned but not by a bite" I tried to think through the pain as Scott yelled he didn't know again "Diez" TEN! "Diez" Araya yelled at Kira when she shook her head again, when Kira still refused Araya went over and turned it up to ten herself Scott and I screamed in the worst pain imaginable then it finally clicked, we did know who it was, Scott and I ripped out arms out of the cuffs with our own roars echoing through the room
"Say the name" Araya asked us
"Kate" Scott and I replied each with our individual anger but his was added to my own
They were letting us go which I found odd but was thankful because that meant I wouldn't have had to fight my way out because I knew that when I found Kate I was going to kill her, this is the last time I let her hurt Derek and wasn't letting her get away with kidnapping him
"So you're just letting us go?" Scott asked her as we walked out of her compound
"I sent four men out to where Kate was rumoured to have been seen, none of them came back" she turned to us "Let's see if you can do better" trust me lady I will
"You could have just told us she was alive" I spat at her
"You wouldn't have believed me" she replied smiling "Now I know what kind of Alpha's you are and where your next step lies"
"What next step?" Scott and I asked her equally confused
"When you take the bite of an innocent, when either of you make a wolf of your own, when you don't then I will cross your border and come knocking at your door" she replied before walking away leaving me speechless as we walked over to the others who were standing next to Stiles' jeep and my new motorbike
It was a 2014 Ducati Monster 796, Derek brought it for me a week before he went missing for a much disapproved anniversary present since we've been together a whole year if you didn't count the time he left which I didn't, I hated that he had spent so much money but he told my there was more than where this came from so I let it slide but just this once because what can I say it's a Ducati and not many girls can say they have one or have a boyfriend as amazing as Derek to buy them one
"So what now?" Stiles asked walking up to us
"She thinks she knows where we can find Derek" Scott replied
"She gonna tell us where" Malia asked and really I don't know why we even brought her, she's always negative
"Uh actually she's giving us a guide" Scott said just as another bike started driving up and parked in front of us
"Do you know her?" Stiles asked tapping my shoulder
"Braeden" I replied knowing exactly who she was, she was the one who saved Isaac
"Who's Braeden" Kira asked
"She's a mercenary" Lydia replied
"Right now I'm the only one who's gonna take you to La Iglesia" Braeden spoke up
"The church" Lydia and I cut in
"What's the church" Stiles asked
"It's not a place you'll find god" Braeden said so we set out with her leading the way on her bike, me behind her on mine and the rest of them packed into Stile's jeep
Scott's POV
"Okay I'll ask who's Kate Argent" Malia asked us as she leaned forward
"Uh I'd like to know too" Kira added
"Well we were at her funeral" Stile's replied "So I'd like to know how she got out of a casket that was buried six feet underground"
"She was never in it" I cut in
"She was Allison's Aunt" Lydia added when neither of us explained "And a total sociopath"
"You don't have to talk about it now if you don't want to" Kira said looking at me
"Uh yes he does" Malia protested
"Yeah she's right you guys should know you need to know" I replied
"All right Kate was the one who set the fire that killed most of Derek's family" Stiles cut in
"Some of them survived like Cora and Peter" I added looking back at the others
"A very angry Peter" Lydia said
"Yeah he's the one who bit and turned me"
"And the one who finally caught up to Kate and killer her" Lydia added
"We saw her get buried" Stile's said
"No we saw a casket remember" I turned to him "She wasn't in it, the Calavera's heard that Kate had been killed by an alpha's claws they wanted to make sure she was really dead but her body was healing the more and more she got closer to the full moon she was coming back so they switched out the bodies they took her, if a hunter is bit they have to take their own life before they change, the Calavera's take the code like law they make it their responsibility to enforce it"
"Good for her, I wouldn't do it either" Malia replied
"Would you kill half a dozen people to get out because that's what she did" I looked back at her
"So Kate's a werewolf now" Kira asked
"I don't know" I replied shaking my head "There's a saying that sometimes the shape you take reflects the person you are"
"What kind of shape is sociopathic bitch" Lydia said but then Stiles had to stop as it felt like we hit something
Skye's POV
While I was driving I couldn't stop thinking about Derek and worrying about what kind of condition we were going to find him in because who knows what Kate's done do him, I heard the Jeep skid to a stop and the others started climbing out so I stopped and quickly jumped off my bike to make sure they were okay
"What happened" Braeden asked getting off her bike as well
"I don't know it felt like we hit something" Stile's replied
"Scott we need to get there by night, it's too dangerous otherwise" Braeden protested, Scott looked at Stile's
"Go" Stile's said waving us on
"Not without you" he pointed to Stiles
"Scott someone needs to find Derek we'll think of something we always do, just go" Stile's replied
"Okay" Scott said then walked towards me as I hopped back on my bike but Kira ran up to him and I gave him privacy but smiled when I saw them hug even though he should have kissed her, I put my helmet back on
"Scott the sun's going down" Braeden called putting her own helmet on then Scott ran over and hopped on the back of her bike and we drove off leaving Stiles and the others behind which I wasn't all too comfortable with but I needed to find Derek
I followed after Braeden until she finally stopped then hopped off our bikes and stared at the ruined town below us, all the buildings were practically gone except for a huge church in the middle
"La Iglesia" Braeden said stating the obvious
"What happened here?" Scott asked her
"An earthquake, it levelled the town" she replied
"Why's the church still standing" I asked turning to look at her
"The locals think it's because of what's underneath"
"Do I wanna know" Scott and I replied
"The church was built over the ruins of an Aztec temple, it belonged to the people called nagual" I pinched my eyebrow since I recognised that from somewhere
"Shapeshifters" Scott replied then it clicked
"Were-jaguars" I cut in and Braeden looked at me surprised "So Derek and Kate are somewhere in there" I asked her
"I don't know, never gotten this far" she replied going back towards her bike as I shared a nervous look with Scott
"That's comforting" I said before following Braeden and got back on my bike and we continued the rest of our trip towards the church, when we made it to the town we got off and started walking the rest of the way to the church, Braeden had a gun and Scott had the flashlight leading the way, we walked around a corner and Braeden cocked her gun making us look at her
"If you find Kate in here what are you gonna do with her?" Scott asked her
"Bring her back to the Calavera's" she replied "That's what they paid me for"
"What happens after that?" I asked since I wasn't going to let Kate get away with this
"Not my problem" she replied
"You don't care" Scott asked making me roll my eyes because who would care, Kate deserves everything she gets
"Do you?" Braeden asked him and I kind of liked this girl "She's a mass murderer"
"And you're a mercenary" Scott replied chuckling
"Girls gotta eat"
"If you were paid enough would you kill her" he asked again as we got closer to the church
"I'd kill her for free" I cut in and Scott stared at me "What" I shrugged as Braeden turned to us
"If the money was good, I'd kill you's" she said before walking in and just like that I didn't like this girl anymore she was dangerous, Scott and I shared another look before following her inside the church, it was already dark so we were running out of time "Can you catch Derek's scent" she asked us
"Already on it" I replied sniffing the air then put my hand out when I heard distant roaring
"What?" Braeden asked
"There's something else in here" Scott said before I could
"Something like what?" she asked us
"Something not human" I replied, she lifted her gun then led the way further into the church, we started down some sort of tunnel system with Braeden leading the way
"So how come you didn't kiss her" Braeden asked turning to Scott
"What?" he asked like the dumbass that he is
"How come you didn't kiss your girlfriend" Braeden replied making me snigger since I knew she was talking about Kira
"You mean Kira?" I rolled my eyes
"Obviously dumbass" I said hitting his head
"Whatever her name is" Braeden shrugged
"Well, she's not really my, uh…I mean we've never actually" Scott paused "She's not my girlfriend"
"So if you die down here, you gonna regret not kissing her" Braeden asked, Scott turned to her clueless as usual when it came to girls "You should've kissed your girlfriend" Braeden added as we continued to search the caves for any sign of Derek or Kate
I was trying to pick up Derek's scent but it was really hard since there was already a really strong odour in the air and with the echoes in the cave I couldn't track by sound either and knew Scott wasn't having much luck either and that made me nervous, suddenly Scott turned the flashlight behind us
"What?" Braeden and I asked him
"Just had a feeling that there was something behind us" he replied
"Oh fantastic" I muttered trying to see as Braeden raised her gun and we continued to follow the cave then there was a low guttural growl behind us making us spin
"Do you hear that" Braeden asked us
"Is this why you never get this far?" Scott asked her instead of answering the obvious since our hearing was triple hers but before she could answer it sounded like whatever was following us started running at us and growling
"Get ready" Braeden yelled so I flipped out my claws and let my fangs out then she fired at whatever it was since we couldn't see much, Braeden continued to fire shots at it but it was like it wasn't having any affect so we slowly backed away from it further into the cave system as it continued to follow us "Where is it, do you see it?" she asked us
"No I don't know-"
"We can't see anything" I cut Scott off as Braeden reloaded
"Where is this thing" she asked
"It's coming back, it's coming back" Scott yelled
"No shit Sherlock" I replied hearing it growl and start charging towards us
"Scott, Skyler get behind me" Braeden said but Scott and I shared a look "Get behind me!" she yelled but we didn't listen and stood in front of her and we both partly transformed and let out our loudest roars ever that shook the entire cave system
"I think we scared it" Scott said turning to look back at Braeden
"I think you two scared everything" she replied then we all turned when rocks started to fall and revealed another passage behind us
"What is that?" Scott asked as we started walking towards the far wall which had some sort of art work carved into the wall
"Tezcatlipoca, the nagual jaguar God" Braeden said as we walked up to the wall and she wiped some dust away "I think we found Derek" she added nodding to the carving which confused me so Scott and I walked up to it and put our ears on the wall and listened hearing a heart beating
"Stand back" Scott said pulling me back then bawled his fist and punched through the wall, we started pulling the rest of the rock down then looked inside and my eyes widened
"Oh, my God" Scott said at the same time I did
We grabbed Derek and started making our way back through the caves and outside just as Stiles, Lydia, Malia and Kira pulled up in the jeep, we walked out with Derek's arms wrapped around mine and Scott's shoulders as they ran up to us
"Is that him, is that Derek" Malia asked looking at Stiles
"Uh, sort of" he replied as Derek lifted his head up and they all saw that Derek was aged backwards, he was a teenager, I didn't know what Kate has done to him but when I find her I'm going to rip her throat out
