Chapter 2 – We fight until we die

Isaac got off Scott's bike and took the helmet off, brushing his fingers through his curls, Scott doing the same after he shut down his bike. He started walking to the doors but when he noticed Isaac did not follow, he turned and faced his friend, raising his eyebrows without asking the question out loud.

"We were planning to face the Alpha pack tonight," he heard Isaac's voice was trying to be calm, but he heard the tone that revealed him being nervous. "Here, at school." What? Why on earth would they do that at school? There sure were better places to face alphas than school – how would they know there wasn't anyone at school when they're gonna meet alphas? "Here? Why the hell here?" Scott found himself wondering, Isaac just shrugging. "Derek thought that it'd be easier to... to surprise them." Of course it was Derek's idea.

He didn't even understand why did Isaac even talk to Derek in the first place, after he kicked him out. Yeah, he was his alpha but what Derek did was stupid! Scott was thinking if Isaac already forgave the alpha what he did. If he did, would he go back? Scott didn't even want to think about it – he did not want Isaac to leave. He liked him there, his mother liked him too.

"Scott?" Isaac was calling him and made Scott blink his eyes – he was staring at Isaac again. He quickly turned his head and mumbled something very vague that even the other werewolf had no idea what he just said. "Okay, uh, let's do that then." He didn't even look at Isaac when he just turned and walked away from his friend, leaving confused Isaac behind.

"Scotty? Scott, c'mon are you listening to me?" Stiles was getting impatient and nervous and shouting to his best friend was not helping. The two boys were in Stiles' jeep on their way to animal climic and Scott has been quiet since he had picked him up, which annoyed Stiles very much. He thought Scott might be thinking about Deaton, who was taken earlier today. By the Darach, who else.

"Yeah, um you said something about the alphas?" he noticed Stiles slap his forehead as he turned his face towards him. Yes, Scott hadn't listened to him. Scott looked apologizing as he said, "Sorry, Stiles. I-I uh have a lot of in my mind right now." Stiles glanced at Scott, turning his head front so he wouldn't crash. "Yea I get it. The alphas, the Darach, school and lacrosse, your and Allison's complicated relationship...," Stiles listed, nodding his head while doing so.

His and Allison's relationship wasn't complicated, it was over. He knew it, she did too even though they wouldn't say it out loud. He was moved on, though she would always be his first love. "But what I was telling you was about the Darach. He, she or whoever that freaky dark druid is, has some kind of strategy, like... first it was virgins, then warriors and now some kind of healers. I'm saying, dude, we need to find out who is the Darach after next so we can stop that thing!" Scott was being quiet again. He knew Stiles was right, but how the hell would they know who was going to be the next sacrifice! Deaton was taken and Scott needed to save him. That was his priority at the moment.

"You said Lydia, Allison and Cora were meeting us at animal clinic?" Scott changed the subject and Stiles did not protest for his surprise "Yeah. Though Cora might have already gone to the school." Derek had ordered Stiles to stay as far away from the school he could, Stiles didn't understand why the alpha was so worried but didn't really mind being out of the way. So he did as Derek told him, instead of going to the school he, Scott, Allison and Lydia were planning on how to save Scott's boss. They had some clues, like Danny's school work about currents (he had taken it earlier from him when he visited the hospital) and Allison's father's map. Hopefully they wouldn't be late and Deaton would be still alive.

It was late night when Scott returned home, confused and tired. All he wanted to do was get a shower and go to sleep. A lot had happened in the past three or four hours – Deaton being kidnapped by the Darach, Sheriff saving him and Derek encountering the Alpha Pack with his own pack.

His thoughts were racing – mostly he was thinking about that "True Alpha" thing. He wasn't even sure what that meant. Yes, Deaton had told him that it's rare and he thinks Scott's one. He wanted to know more but at first he wanted to rest and to make sure Isaac was safe. Isaac and the rest of his pack.

When Scott opened the door, all he saw was darkness. His mother had night shift at the hospital so she wasn't there but how about Isaac? Were they still at school with alphas? Scott felt scared, he wasn't really sure where Isaac was if he even was okay. His pulse jumped and he ran towards the stairs, getting upstairs fast. Scott tried to listen to the voices but all he could hear was his own heartbeat so he stormed straight to the guest room, finding Isaac sitting on the floor when he opened the door.

He was so relieved. His heartbeat started to get more steady and he was breathing almost normally. Isaac was alive, he was alright. Smile upon his face he took a step towards his friend but stopped when he saw Isaac's face. He looked sad and broken and seeing his friend like that broke Scott's heart. He looked almost same as he did when Derek had kicked him out. But that look was sadder, like really sadder.

"Isaac?" he called. "What happened? Are you alright?"

Isaac wasn't crying, he just stared at Scott with an empty look upon his face. He shrugged and opened his mouth but nothing came out. He couldn't say it.

Scott closed the door behind him even though he knew his mother wouldn't come home for like couple hours and went next to Isaac, leaning against the wall. His eyes met Isaac's blue ones and he waited. They stared each other and finally Isaac spoke.

"It's Boyd. He's not... he – he's dead, Scott. Boyd's dead."

And when Isaac had said that, he felt tears rolling down his eyes to his cheeks. Scott wrapped his other hand around Isaac's shoulders, he wanted to help him feel better but he really didn't know what he should say to make the other wolf feel better. "It's okay, cry it out," he said when Isaac seemed to feel uncomfortable crying in front of Scott.

Isaac then lowered his head and leaned it against Scott's shoulder and sighed. He wiped away tears from his cheeks and calmed himself down. He felt like Scott would like to know what exactly had happened at school with alphas. So he took a deep breath and started explaining.

Isaac told Scott everything. How they waited for the alphas at the school gym, finally seeing Kali arrive alone. From that moment they knew something was wrong. And oh how right they were.

"You know Derek – when Ennis died, I thought that I was gonna find you and then kill you," Kali told him, a venomous smirk on her face. "But then I remembered how you surround yourself behind those teenagers." Derek was waiting for Kali to do the first move, but the alpha stayed still, her brown eyes staring back at Derek. "And I said to myself; 'what do I need to do to get you alone?'"

The the twins came with Ms Blake. They threatened to kill her if Derek wouldn't fight Kali alone. So he told his pack to step aside.

"I'm gonna rip your head out. With my teeth," Derek threatened after shifting into his wolf form. Kali's eyed turned bright, bloody red and the battle was about to begun.

He, Boyd and Cora had just stood there, doing nothing. Because if they'd interfere the twins would kill Ms Blake right away.

Derek was losing right away. Kali was faster, smarter and stronger and she almost killed him. But they were disturbed when Allison appeared and started shooting the alphas with some arrows that kind of exploded when they hit the ground. That was their chance. Twins had let go of Jennifer so Isaac had run towards her, holding her and keeping her safe. Cora and Boyd went to Kali so Derek would have time to get up but the female alpha beat two betas fast.

The alphas were furious. "Get him!" she shouted to twins who ran to Derek, holding him in place. Kali grabbed Boyd and lifted him high before dropping him into Derek's claws.

"You have time until the next full moon, Derek. Make the smart choice and join the pack, or I'm gonna kill your pathetic little pack and then I'm gonna kill you."

Scott was holding Isaac whose head was still pressed against his shoulder. He didn't say anything for a moment until he then grabbed Isaac's other hand in his, gently shaking it. He wasn't sure if Isaac liked it or not but he didn't move his hand off his touch so he kept it there. They were silent after Isaac finished telling him what happened.

He was surprised that Allison went to the school to help. But if she hadn't, Derek would probably be dead now.

"Hey, wanna watch a movie and order pizza? Mom won't come home for like two or more hours so we have the house all by ourselves," Scott then offered with a tiny smile. He thought it would be nice to spend some time just the two of them and he surely wanted something else to think about, so did Isaac. Isaac lifted his head and looked down at Scott and nodded. "Yeah, sounds great."
