Chapter 2
Disclaimer: Here we go yo! And also, I own nothing but what you see here.
After quite a bit of freaking out and being split up at one point that allowed Scott and Stiles to trap the Alpha in a room in the lower levels of the school, everyone finally re-united in the science classroom. "Stiles… When something's trapped, DON'T TAUNT IT!" As you never know what said thing may be capable of doing!
"Well how was I supposed to know that would happen!?"
Scott just gave him a look that clearly implied why he felt his best friend should know why. Allison, Jackson, and Lydia were still having trouble believing that a Werewolf of all things was trying to kill them and seeing that Stiles' jeep had been shredded up hadn't helped things any. One of the exits being blocked by dumpsters also definitely did not help either! The fact this thing wanted Scott as part of some Pack didn't help either and it only gave the trio more questions then answers. Especially where that whole text message from earlier was concerned. "Is this… Hell? Cause feels like… It." Mumbled Derek from his spot against a wall that Kate had set up him against once they had gotten into the science classroom.
Stiles looked at him in slight concern. "Shouldn't he be, I don't know… Healing and threatening me by now?"
"Attacks from an Alpha take longer to heal kid."
"Oh. Well that's handy to know." Scott had to agree with that one.
Jackson proposed calling the cops while the girls demanded to know what was going on as Werewolves just did not exist! "Sorry girls, but they do." Informed Kate as she stayed near Derek.
"How, how do you know that!?" Demanded Allison.
Looking up at her, Kate told her that that was probably a talk she needed to have with her dad. Since it was more his place to do then her's. "Goodie… More Hunters… Really am in… Hell." Grumbled Derek, making Kate poke her tongue at him.
His words confused Allison as she wondered why he would think something like that would be Hell. Lydia ended up calling the Sheriff's Department, only to be hung up on cause they had gotten a tip about a prank call. Allison suggested caling again but Stiles supplied some information that it wouldn't do much good, making the girl huff in irritation. Everyone aside from Derek jumped in slight surprise when a jingle began to be heard from Derek's leather jacket, Kate took the initiative to grab it and winced at the person calling before answering. She winced again at the soud of the loud voice on the other end. "Mrs. Hale! Just… Just calm down okay!?"
"Yes, there is a perfectly reasonable explanation for why I'm using Derek's phone."
"No! I'm not trying anything untoward at all! I mean… I could but would it really be that way since we're still married?"
She had to pull away from the phone with another wince when Talia's indignant shriek sounded from it. "Kill me now." Moaned Derek as he did not want to face his mother's wrath if he got out of this alive!
"Sorry babe, but I'm not doing that!"
Kate then had to explain what that comment was about before having to explain that yes, Talia did in fact hear a howl louder than usual thanks to technology. Scott then gave her a betrayed look when she outed him to the older woman and the boy paled when he learned Derek's mother wanted to speak with him. "Um… Hi?"
He quickly pulled the phone away as the screaming could easily be heard from it, making for Jackson to grin at the scene as it was nice to see McCall get shredded like that. "Yes, it was my plan but I had to prove to Derek that Deaton isn't the Alpha! Yeah, the same Deaton from the animal clinic! Yeah, I admit I need to come up with better plans! Well thought out plans for that matter."
And if possible, Scott paled even further, making for Allison to feel worried about her boyfriend's reaction. "Um… Yeah, okay. I really, REALLY hope that won't be necessary."
He then handed the phone back to Kate and Allison asked him what just happened. "Uhh… Well… Derek's mother told me if I ever did something this stupid again she'd leave me a bed ridden vegetable." And that was a horrible mental image to have!
"And how would she accomplish that?" Asked a curious Lydia.
Scott just shrugged. "I really have no idea."
"This is why you need to leave the planning to me buddy."
The young Beta wasn't even about to get into that as now wasn't the time. But he was curious as to why the heck Allison and the other two were here. "I got a text from you saying to meet you here."
"I couldn't have texted you. Remember? My phone's being repaired."
"So if he didn't text you, then who did? And why do it?" Wondered Lydia.
"Could be someone's working with the Alpha and wanted you three here." Suggested Kate after finally getting off the phone with Mrs. Hale. Boy was she not looking forward to having to see her in person again!
Scott then got an idea, one Allison was not too enthusiastic about since it involved her dad of all people. But Kate thought it was a good idea and called him up to let him know what was going on and to bring whoever he could get with enough fire power to take the rogue Alpha out. Stiles even tried calling his dad but all he got was the man's voice mail but left a message for him anyway. He then realized they could go through the kitchen to get out but they would need a key since it had a dead bolt on it. "I could get it." Suggested Scott, only to wind up having a debate with Stiles and Kate over it.
Allison was heavily againt it and was relieved if confused when her aunt suggested for her boyfriend to just use his damn strength to break it open! The boy looked sheepish as he hadn't exactly thought of that since he wasn't looking to expose himself as a Werewolf. "Look, I get why you probably didn't really think about that, but the fact is, there is no choice. Besides… What are ya gonna do if the Alpha gets hold of ya? Huh? He'll probably force ya under his control to do whatever he wants and something tells me ya don't want that to happen.
"She's… Right. Listen to her." Spoke up Derek from his spot.
Despite the situation, Kate smiled happily at her man. "Aww, thanks for the support babe!"
A groan came from him but she paid it no mind since she figured he was talking about being taken from this life to escape its Hell again. Scott sighed as he knew Allison's aunt was right as he definitely did NOT want to do something horrible to those he cared about. "You're right, I don't want anything like that happening."
And with that, he made his way to the door that would take them out of the classroom and hopefully safely out of the building entirely. Allison came up to him and gave him a passionate kiss that he couldn't help but respond too and once it was over with, they touched their heads together. Kate noticed the disgusted if slightly jealous look the other boy standing near the Redhead was giving the two but kept quiet on it. "Wait… I've got an idea that could help us out." Spoke up Lydia after she realized what all the classroom had in it.
"What's that?" Asked Stiles curiously.
"We're in a science classroom right?"
"Yeah? What about it?"
"So because of that, we've got all the ingredients needed for a self igniting Molotov Cocktail."
Everyone just looked at her as Stiles started to sound out the words. "…Molotov Cocktail."
"What? I read about it somewhere." Added the girl defensively, causing Kate to grin as she wondered just how exactly she ended up reading that. As its not always you come across books with that kind of information at random chance.
But Kate thought it was a good idea none the less and after breaking into the cabinet that had the ingredients they needed, Lydia quickly got it ready for their use. Scott then turned his attention back to the door and using a fist, he made short work of the dead bolt and the regular lock. Making for a rather impressed Jackson while Scott winced at the pain in his slightly bleeding knuckles, making for a concerned Allison to hold it in her own hands. Though she was rather surprised when the wound healed up a short time later. She then gave him a look that told him he was so going to be answering a lot of questions from her and Scott could only nod an agreement. Not to mention the very stern reprimand about stupid ideas. The group made their way up the stairs to the roof, though it was slow going on account of the still wounded Derek.
It'd be Jackson who'd bring up the question of wondering how good the Alpha's hearing was after getting curious about it. Which would make for some considerable concern after Kate told them that much like a regular Wolf's hearing, a Werewolf could also hear anywhere from six to ten miles. Making for a slightly more freaked out Lydia once she came to the realization that the Werewolf chasing after them possibly already knew what they were planning. Kate merely told her that was a risk they just had to take unfortunately. It took a little effort, but they managed to get down the fire escape with Derek and just when they thought they were in the free and clear, things would take a turn for the worse. As the Alpha in all its glory showed up from a top the rooftop.
"Aww Hell." Cursed Kate and before she could shoot at it, the Werewolf began to howl loudly.
Jackson groaned and fell to his knees, prompting Lydia to kneel down next to him in concern and unsure of what to do for him. Derek merely shifted with a growl, startling the two girls but did nothing. Scott however would be the one they would all become concerned about. As the young man fell down and started to scream. His constant moving gave the appearance of him looking as if he was trying to fight off something. "Oh this isn't good."
"What, what do you mean by that!?" Asked a freaked out and very scared Allison, who had beaten Stiles to the punch in asking it.
"Sweetie… That howl? It basically put Scott under that thing's control."
She looked up at the rooftop just in time to see the Alpha make its leave and cursed for not having tried to shoot at it sooner. "Well how do we stop it!? I mean we can right?" Asked a highly worried Stiles.
Kate didn't answer as she gave him a look that clearly told him she didn't think it was possible without the use of her shotgun. Which was the last thing she wanted.
"AAUGH!"
Author's Notes: Normally, I hate cliffhangers like Hell, but I figured leaving it like that would work for the best here.
