After school Scott texted Daire and Stiles to meet him at his house, when she got there Stiles was already running into the McCall's home. Daire reached his room and walked in.
" I found something at Derek Hale's" Scott told Stiles.
"Are you kidding? What?" Stile asked excited.
" There's something buried there, I could smell blood" Scott answered Stiles question.
"That's awesome. I mean, that's terrible. Whose blood?" Stiles asked again.
Scott got up from his bed, " I don't know, but when we do, your dad nails Derek for the murder. And then you help me figure out hot to play lacrosse without changing, because there's no way I'm not playing in that game."
" Ok one problem, what if Derek didn't kill the girl?" Daire asked the two boys. They turn around both giving her looks of doubt.
" What do you mean, Derek totally killed the girl. He's the only one who could have!" Stiles rants at her.
" What if he isn't?" she asked the both of them, " What if he is just as innocent as you two" Daire crossed her arms over her chest.
" I thought you said you were going to help me," Scott said glaring at the Argent girl.
" I did and I am, but I'm also going to help others, and right now Derek also falls into that category. You don't have to like it and you don't have to believe me, but who ever killed that girl is not Derek. But that doesn't mean I wont help you. So let's go and follow whatever plan you have cooked up to prove that Derek is the murderer" she told them ready to go head first into this plan that will defiantly stir the shit pot.
Daire was right, they were defiantly stirring the shit pot. She and Stiles were currently sitting in the hospital waiting for Scott who is in the morgue sniffing dead bodies to find a blood match.
" Oh my god" Stiles muttered under his breath. " Hey, Lydia. You probably don't remember me, um, I sit behind you in biology."
Daire looked over and took out her head phones to see Stiles who is talking to a very uninterested Lydia.
" Uh, anyway, I always thought that we just had this kind of connection. You know, unspoken of course. Maybe it'd be kind of cool to get to know each other a little bit better."
" Hold on. Give me a second, Yeah, I didn't get any of what you just said. Is it worth repeating?" Lydia asked Stiles who is standing there dumbstruck; he just bared his heart to her only to have her shoot him down.
"No sorry" Stiles replied nervously before sitting next to Daire.
She patted his arm, " Better luck next time tiger" Daire winked and went back to listening to her Spotify on her phone.
" Holy God!" Stiles said startled as Scott rips a pamphlet on the menstrual cycle out of his hands.
" The scent was the same," Scott told them.
" You sure?" Stiles asked getting up from his chair.
" Yes" Scott replied.
Stiles sighed, " So he did bury the other half of the body on his property"
"Which means we have proof he killed the girl." Scott continued.
" Ok I know that I said he didn't do it, and I still think he's innocent but that's just creepy" Daire told the boys stuffing her phone into her bag
" I say we use it" Stiles said walking away.
" How?" Scott asked as they follow him.
" Tell me something first. Are you doing this because you want to stop Derek or because you want to play in the game and he said you couldn't?" Stiles asked Scott
"There were bite marks on the legs, Stiles. Bite marks." Scott said as his answer.
" Okay. Then we're gonna need a shovel" Stiles replied satisfied with Scotts answer. Daire didn't tell them that because there were bite marks on the legs that the cops wouldn't hold Derek accountable for the murder, because what good would it do? So instead she followed her friends out of the hospital. Yep they are soo stirring the shit pot.
They watched Derek get into his car and drive away from Stiles jeep. The boys came out with shovels and Daire followed them with a flashlight.
"Wait something's different" Scott said walking toward the poor girls burial sight.
" Different how?" Stiles asked following his friend.
" I don't know" Scott replied dodging a tree.
" Well that's very descriptive and helpful", Daire grumbled reaching for her phone to see if she had any missed messages from Allison or her parents.
Scott turned around and glared at her before he starts to dig, " Lets just get this over with"
As the boys began digging up the girl's grave Daire sat on the ground and texted Allison
To Allison: Hey hanging out with Scott and Stiles be home soon, tell Chris and Victoria
She placed her head phones back in and waited for the boys to find the body when she got a reply,
From Allison: KK dad says to be home by curfew
To Allison: Don't worry I will
"This is taking way to long" Scott said breaking the silence of the night.
" Just keep going" Stiles replied as he throws another pile of dirt of to the side.
" What if he comes back?" Scott asked worriedly
" Then we get the hell out of here" Stiles replied again.
" What if he catches us?" Scott asked again.
" Quit worrying Scott, you're the one who wanted to dig up this poor girls body" she told him eyeing their progress.
Stiles ignoring her comment replies, " I have a plan for that"
" Which is?" Scott asked.
" You run one way, I run the other and we leave Daire who is just sitting on her butt doing nothing. Whoever he catches first too bad." Stiles replied
" I hate that plan." Scott said bending over.
" So do I, and I'm not doing nothing, I'm being the look out for Derek" Daire replied
" Alright, stop, stop, stop!" Stiles told Scott as his shovel hits something hard. Stiles and Scott bend over and begin to brush of the dirt. Daire looked over their shoulder, curious to see what they will find.
"Hurry" Scott said anxiously
" I'm trying. Did he have to tie this thing in like 900 knots?" Stiles said untying.
" I'll do it" Daire bent over and helped them untie whatever was kept in the canvas sack. They pull one side of the sack towards them, revealing a wolf head. Both boys let out a startled scream while Daire stared at the wolf head with a familiar dread washing over her. I've seen this before. I've done this before. She thought.
" What the hell is that?" Stiles asked sitting on the ground out of the hole.
" It's a wolf" Scott replied leaning over her shoulder to get a better look.
" Yeah. I can see that." Stiles replied sarcastically.
" She's a werewolf." Daire muttered under her breath.
" I thought you said you smelled blood? As in human blood?" Stiles asked Scott
" I told you something was different" Scott replied.
"This doesn't make sense!" Stiles said getting up
" We gotta get out of here" she felt Scott pull at her elbow, looking up from the wolf's glassy eyes " Daire you ok?" he asked.
Daire broke out of her reverie to look up at the teen wolf, " Yeah, just give me a hand" she told him. Scott then gave her his hands and pulls her out.
" Help me cover this up" Stiles told them. Scott and Daire begin to grab some shovels to refill the hole when Stiles notices a purple flower.
" What's wrong?" Scott asked.
" Do you see that flower?" Stiles asked his friends.
" Yeah it's wolfs bane" Daire replied now understanding why Scott originally smelt human blood and why the body is no longer human.
" What's that?" Scott asked confused.
" Haven't you ever seen The Wolf Man?" Stiles asked him.
Scott shakes his head, " No"
" Lon Chaney Jr.? Claude Rains? The original classic werewolf movie?" Stiles continued
"No, What?" Scott asked frustrated.
Stiles huffs, " You are so unprepared for this."
" Most people are," Daire said quietly as Stiles gets up and starts to pull the flower out of the ground. He continues pulling it until it was fully out of the ground. Scott gets up, Daire already knew the reason why, the wolf head was now the head of a girl.
" Guys.." Scott said breathlessly.
Stiles walked back over to his friends and looked down, " Oh!" Daire also looked down to see the upper body of a girl whose eyes were open looking right at them. She could feel Scott pulling her closer to him as if he could protect her from the horrible sight.
The next morning Daire joined Scott and Stiles at Derek's house to watch the cops arrest the werewolf. As they put Derek into the back of the cop car Stiles came walking through the woods and opened the passenger door.
" No" Scott whispered shaking his head at Stiles.
" I'll get him," the little brunette grumbled to Scott before she opened the driver's door and got in the car.
" Okay, just so you know, I'm not afraid of you." Stiles tells Derek. Derek glares at Stiles, " Okay, maybe I am." Stiles comments.
" Well I'm not afraid of you Derek, and I want to help you and Scott." Daire told the werewolf. Stiles turned and glares at her.
"Doesn't matter, I just wanna know something. The girl you killed, she was a werewolf. She was a different kind, wasn't she? I mean, she can turn herself into an actual wolf and I know Scott can't do that, is that why you killed her?" Stiles asked.
" Why are you so worried about me when it's your friend who's the problem?" Derek asked Stiles. Daire looked at Derek knowing what he's saying is true, " When he shifts on the field, what do you think they're gonna do, huh? Just keep cheering them on? Daire knows what her family will do if they find out. I can't stop him from playing, but you can" He leans forward closer to her and Stiles, " and trust me, you want to." At that specific moment Sheriff Stilinski pulls Stiles out of the car and Daire quickly got out of the passenger seat and ran back to Scott.
" What happened?" he asked her once she reached him.
" We just totally stirred the shit pot" was the only thing Daire said before they climbed into Stiles jeep and left the Hale property.
" I can't find anything about using wolfs bane for burial" Scott said frustrated looking at his phone.
" Just keep looking, maybe it's like a ritual or something. Like maybe they bury you as a wolf or maybe it's a special skill. You know, like something you have to learn." Stiles told him not taking his eyes off the road.
"I'll put it on my to-do list right underneath, "Figure out how the hell I'm playing this game tonight"" Scott said grumbling.
"Maybe its different for girl werewolves" Stiles continued.
"Okay, stop it" Scott interrupted him.
"Stop what?" Stiles asked glancing at his friend.
" Stop saying "werewolves" stop enjoying this so much" Scott said angrily. Daire looked at them from the back seat starting to worry over Scott.
"Are you ok?" Stiles asked
" No, he's not. Stiles why did you keep that?" she pointed to the wolfs bane that was right in between her friends
" What was I supposed to do with it?" he asked her
" Its causing Scott to shift, get rid of it! Stiles pull over now!" Daire yelled at him as Scott begins to loose control. Stiles pulls the jeep over and grabs the wolfs bane throwing it into the woods. Though it was too late Scott was out of the car before Stiles got out. " Stiles drop me off now, if he's going to do what I think he's going to do I need to be home now!" she told him.
" Yeah, okay" he said buckling his seat belt and pulling out onto the road.
When Daire got home there was no sign of Scott but she and Allison started to decorate their bedrooms. They had organized their furniture around lunch and now they were hanging up pictures and putting on the bedspreads. " Hey look at these pictures" Daire told Allison holding up a picture of her 7th birthday party, both girls wearing matching dresses but Daire's was navy blue and Allison's was purple.
" Aww we were so cute!" Allison giggled taking some photos out of her hands and going through them. Daire glanced out the window and see Scott on the roof. She knew that eventually he would come here looking for Allison.
Daire got up and closed the curtains, " I just love how cute your curtains are though." she told Allison creating a distraction from her possibly seeing Scott.
" Well I can't believe you have the entire box set of Fairy Tail and Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood!" She said holding up the box containing Daire's anime collection. Setting the box down the two girls headed down stairs. They heard Chris pull in but it sounded like he hit something, worried that it was Scott she rushed outside with Allison on her tail. " Dad?" Allison asked as they got outside. " Dad? What the hell are you doing?" they rushed over to Chris
" He came out of nowhere, Allison" Chris told his daughter.
" Are you trying to kill him?" Daire asked watching Allison take Scott's hand.
" Oh, no. Of course not, he just... he just ran onto the driveway," Chris told them looking at Scott if he had lost his damn sense.
" I'm sorry, It's my fault. I'm sorry" Scott said lying on his back.
" Are you okay?" Allison asked concern lacing her words
"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. I swear. Sorry I hit your car. I was just coming over to say hi," He continued while Allison stroked his cheek and forehead.
" You sure you're okay?" Chris asked again.
" Yeah, yeah completely" Scott confirmed. Allison and Daire took his hands and pull him up on his feet. " I should go. I've got a lacrosse game to get to, you're still coming right?" he asked.
" Of course I'm coming" Allison told him flirtatiously.
Chris decided to ruin their little moment, " We both are." he told Scott.
" Come one Chris, Allison and I don't need a babysitter!" Daire told him hoping that she could get him not to join them for Allison's sake and for Scott's. Though her argument was to no avail because an hour later she was sitting on a cold bench with Lydia, Allison and Chris. Yay me! Only Daire not London Tipton and that was sarcasm. They sat on the bench watching the lacrosse game, they were winning but Scott hasn't had any action and Daire was praying that he wouldn't shift and that her uncle wouldn't kill him.
She glanced over to see Lydia and Allison holding a We Luv U Jackson poster, rolling her eyes she looked back to the field to see Scott staring at the poster. Daire couldn't see his face but she could tell that it was brutal to see his girlfriend hold a poster for jackass. Scott turned around and walked back to the other players, " Oh this is not gonna go well" she murmured under her breath.
" Which one is Scott again?" Chris asked leaning over towards Allison.
" Number 11, otherwise known as the only one who hasn't caught a single ball the entire game " Lydia states with a level of bitchiness only she could obtain.
" I hope he's okay," Allison mumbled into her gloved hands.
" I hope we're okay, we need to win this" Lydia said staring at the scoreboard. She gets up holding her Jackson sign, " Allison? Little help here?" she asked. Reluctantly Allison gets up and holds a Jackson is # 1! Poster. Daire couldn't help but feel nervous, Scott was practically a ticking time bomb right now and Allison was not helping the situation. The rest of the game went really well for them, everyone was passing Scott the ball even the opposite team. The score was tied, and she knew that Scott had shifted by the way he held himself but Chris seemed to overlook him, which Daire was grateful for.
" You can do it Scott" Allison said to herself and with those words Scott made the winning shot. By the time we ran down to the field Scott was off running to the locker room. Daire lost Allison in the crowd but found Stiles still on the bench with his dad on the phone. She didn't catch what they were talking about but when Stiles turned around he took her hand and they started running to the locker room. They walked into the locker room to see Scott and Allison kissing, " I so did not need to see that" She told them once they were done.
" Hi Daire, Stiles" Allison said walking out of the locker room.
Scott walked towards us with a silly smile on his face, " I kissed her"
" We saw" Stiles replied to Scott.
" She kissed me." Scott said again smiling,
" Saw that too." Daire told him
" Its pretty good, huh?" Stiles asked his best friend.
Scott sighs but that smile never left his face, Daire couldn't help but smile at his cuteness when it came to girls, especially since that girl was Allison. " I don't know how, but I controlled it, I pulled it back, maybe I can do this. Maybe it's not that bad." He said smiling sure of himself.
" Yeah. We'll talk later then" Stiles said by his tone of voice she could tell that he didn't want to ruin Scott's mood. He turned around ready to leave when Scott grabbed the back of his jersey.
" What?" he asked
Stiles sighed, " The medical examiner looked at the other half of the body we found."
" And?" Scott prompts.
"Well, I'll keep it simple. Medical examiner determines killer of girl to be animal not human. Derek is human not animal. Derek not killer. Derek let out of jail." Stiles finished.
" Are you kidding?" Scott asked his eyes widening.
" No, and here's a bigger kick in the ass. My dad ID'd the dead girl, both halves. Her name was Laura Hale" Stiles said Daire looked at the two of them. The pieces were falling into place the bigger picture was becoming clearer.
"Hale?!" Scott practically shouts
"Derek's sister" Stiles confirmed
Its official the shit pot has exploded and this is just the beginning.
