Two motorbikes revved to a stop in front of the busy and chaotic hospital, one green the other blue. 'Beat you' Scott teased his tin sister as he climbed off the green bike, removing his helmet as he did.
Jessica took off her own black helmet in response, her brown locks falling down her back 'I was at a disadvantage' she argues.
Scott scoffs in response 'how so?' He challenged, hooking his helmet onto the bikes's handle.
Jessica held up the packets of food within a white plastic bag, 'I was stuck with the food' she complained but Scott rolled his eyes as the McCall twins made their way into the hospital, dodging gurneys carrying bleeding and injured people along with crazed nurses and doctors rushing around.
'Face it Jess, I'm just faster then you' Scott told her, smirking smugly.
'In your dreams' she scoffed and Scott gained a challenging gleam in his eyes.
'Fine race in the woods late Reply?' He challenged and Jessica smiled.
'Your on big brother' she said, dodging another nurse.
The twins finally caught sight of their mother as she was trying to organise the hectic emergency room. Melissa caught their eyes and sent them a questioning look, Jess held up the bag off food I response and she sighed in relief 'oh thank god'
'I'm starving' she cried, taking the bag of food from Jessica's hands. The twins gave her an expectant look when she turned back around to face them. 'Oh I'm sorry' she apologises reach forward giving them a hug, one arm around scoot the other around Jess. 'I'm sorry, thank you for bringing me dinner, she thanked he, with a warm smile despite how tired she looked.
'Is everything okay?' Scott questions, looking around the corridor.
'Except for half the accident victims in a 1p car pile-up being rerouted. Here from downtown, and the E.R. attending not answering any of his pages, yeah I'm okay' Melissa replies all in one breath.
'What does not answering pages mean?' Scott wonders, confused.
'It means that no one can find him, so now we have to wait for the on call to get here' she explained.
'Miss' a woman ith brown hair, clutching her left arm in pain came up behind the McCalls.
'Yes?' Melissa said turning around to look at him
'Excuse me, can I kind of ... pleased age something for the pain' the patient begged, cringing in pain.
'Okay, I'm sorry. I know but actually giving you something could complicate things, so we really just need to wait for the doctors okay?' Melissa explained, gently.
It was clearly not the response, the woman wanted to hear but she nodded 'yeah' and she went to sit down.
'Okay. How much lingers on dr. Hilyard?'
"Ten minutes ' the receptionist replied
Jessica continued to watch the woman in pain however, feeling more sorry for her with every wince of pain. Scott caught his sister's gaze and walked over to the woman, taking a seat beside her.
'Uh, you know, I think I read online that sometimes human contact can help with pain' Scott lied but the woman nodded, clearly desperate to try anything to make it stop. Scott placed his hand on her arm and black veins began to appear on Scotts arm. The woman sighed in relief as the pain was taken away from her before looking at Scott in shock.
'Someone! Someone help me!' The two wolves snap their heads up at familiar voice and we're surprised to see Ethan standing there, holding up Danny whom was having trouble breathing. 'I need help!' Ethan cried.
Scott and ethane helped move Danny to a seat where Melissa took over. As soon as Ethan was sitting Jessica grabbed him and threw him against the wall opposite glaring angrily 'what did you do to him?!' She growled, eyes flashing.
Scott put his hand on his sister's shoulder and pulled her backwards 'Nothing' Ethan said glaring at her before calming down at Scott's warning glance 'he said he was having chest pains and trouble breathing but it...it just kept getting worse' he replied. Jess co tinted glaring at him before turning back to look at Danny worriedly, deciding she'd deal with the the alpha twin later.
'This is not good' Melissa muttered, looking Danny over 'how much longer on dr. Hilyard?' She called before looking back at Danny 'his larynx has shifted to the side. I think it's a tension preumothorax' she observed.
Danny jolted forward and threw up on the floor. The three werewolves glanced down. 'Mistletoe' Ethan muttered darkly, a cold look in his eyes.
'Can you three please go back to the waiting room?' Melissa called as Danny was pushed into a hospital room on a gurney with the three werewolves following after them.
'Where are the nurses and the doctors?' Ethan questioned looking around 'Where is everyone?'
'It's a full house tonight. They're tending to other patients.' Melissa explained.
'Okay, well, mom, how can we help?' Scott asked
'Honey, you can't. His lung is collapsed. His heart is being pushed against his chest cavity, so...' Melissa informed them and the teens watched Danny worriedly as his breathing became even more shallow.
'He's gonna die, isn't he?' Scott gaped
'No.' She shook her head 'No, he's not. Scott, you grab the tape. You grab those scissors and cut his shirt open.' She ordered both Scott and Ethan. Ethan glanced down at the scissors before leaning forward and simply shredding Danny's shirt off his torso while Melissa pulled out a long syringe from the draws beside her 'Okay.'
'Mom, he's not breathing.' Jess gasped, staring at Danny,s unmoving chest with wide eyes,
'I know, I know.' Melissa nodded 'Okay. Okay, here we go.' She said and felt Danny's chest before she inserted the needle into his chest. They all watched as she injected the needle before taking it out. Jess clamped a hand over her mouth, her eyes welling when there was no movement from the boy.
Yet miraculously Danny's eyes flashed open and he blinked up at Melissa 'thank you' he breathed out
'No problem.' She smiled before seeing the looks of awe of both Jess and Scotts faces as they look at her 'What?'
'That was awesome.' Scott said, his voice full with admiration and both Jess and surprisingly Ethan nodded in agreemnet.
'It was no problem, you know?' Melissa flushed 'I mean, it wasn't a big deal.' She tried shrugging it off but a giant smile shined on her face.
Both Jess and Scott walked out to their bikes afr checking that Danny would be okay and saying goodbye to their mom. They were going to hop on when they headed fort steps from behind them. Scott rolled his eyes and Jess groaned when they saw it was Ethan, I held his hands up in surrender 'I know you're not gonna believe me, but I didn't do anything.' He told the twins.
'All I know is that the minute that you got here, you went right for Danny, and your brother went for Lydia.' Scott pointed out and Ethan nodded solemnly.
'We're not gonna hurt him.' He promised but Jess merely scoffed.
'He's in the hospital after a near death experience I'm pretty sure he's already been hurt' she pointed out, her eyes flashing with anger at the alpha twin.
'Why should we believe you?' Scott asked looking back at Ethan after his sister's comment.
'Because we knew one of them was gonna be important to you, and now we know it's Lydia.' Jess frowned at his words but her attention was quickly brut elsewhere when a black sedan crashed into the back of another car a little further away down the parking lot.
Scott raced forward without a moment's hesitation, Ethan and Jess hot on his heels. He yanked the door open only to see there was no driver or passengers in sight but something on the seat caught his eyes 'What is it?' Ethan questioned as Scott pulled out a dead moth from the seat. Jessica frowned in confusion before it hit her. Whoever was in this car had been taken.
They were a sacrifice.
About half an hour later Jessica stood beside stiles with Scott and her mother in front of the sheriff 'Hang on, hang on. They were both in the car?' Mr stilinski questioned confused as they all talked at once.
'No, dad' stiles spoke up 'they're trying to tell you that it was two separate kidnappings, okay? Two doctors, both gone'
'So whose car is this?' He asked, pointing at the black sedan. Beside them currently being investigated by some other officers.
'Dr. Hilyard, the on-call doctor. The E.R. attending is the one that never made it in.' Melissa explained to him.
'Let me just focus on getting your story first, all right?' The sheriff spoke pointing at her and she nodded.
'Yeah.'
'Guys, give us a second.' He told the tennis and they nodded walking away a bit.
'These are definitely sacrifices, right?' Scott said looking at the car.
'Yeah, it's the one Deaton mentioned, Healers.' Stiles nodded
'What about Danny?' Jessica spoke up confused 'I mean he threw up mistletoe. That's not a coincidence, and as much a as I hate to admit it if he hadn't been with Ethan, he would've died.'
'Danny's not a healer though' Scott pointed out
'Can you hear that?' Stiles interrupted the twins thinking, pointing over to where his dad was getting a report over the radio. Both Jess and Scott listened in before looking back at stiles
'They found a body.'
The trio split up, Scott was going to watch over their mom with help from Issac that night just in case the darach attempted to take her while stiles and Jess went back to his place to research.
Jess laid on stiles bed scrolling through a website about Druid sacrifices on her iPad while stiles sat at his desk looking on his laptop. 'I still don't get it' she spoke up and stiles glanced over at her.
'Don't get what?'
'Why Danny was poisoned with mistletoe.' She said 'It's like Scott said Danny isn't a healer so why go after him?'
'I don't know' stiles sighed, running a hand through his hair stressed out. She didn't blame him, they were all stressed out. People were dying and there seemed to be nothing they could do to stop it from happening. The thought that one of them could be next terrified her.
'But hey we'll sort something out I mean we always figure it out in the end' stiles spoke, clearly having seen the dark look in her eyes and he was trying to reassure his girlfriend.
'Yeah, your right' she nodded and stiles smiled.
'Course I'm right when I have ever been wrong?' She went to open her mouth 'don't answer that' he stopped her and she grinned before she saw the time at the top of her iPad screen.
'It's getting late, we should get some sleep. We still have school tomorrow, she pointed out an stiles groaned in annoyance.
'School, the only normal thing in our lives' Jess huffed a laugh before getting up and pulling out a shirt and some shorts that she had left in stiles drawer a couple of weeks ago.
'I'll be back' she told him and he grinned cheekily.
'Sure you just don't want to change in here, I promise I won't look' he said smirking and Jess rolled her eyes leaning forward so she was face to face with him.
'Somehow I doubt you'll keep that promise' she said before kissing his cheek and exiting the room going to the bathroom to get ready for bed.
She returned to find stiles already curled underneath the blankets but he flipped one side over so she could climb in. It wasn't the first time they had shared a bed and it had gotten to the point where they were so used to other sleeping beside them that they could mast get a good nights sleep without them. Of course after many sneaking out of the house at night, Jessica's mom and Stiles's dad had set down the law.
The usual "the door must be open at all times" and a bunch of other stuff too. Jess didn't care about the rules as long as she fell asleep with stiles next to her and that she woke up the same way. It was literally the only time they openly showed affection for each other.
When in public they weren't as open about their relationship as their were when they were alone or around friends. They weren't like Scott and Allison or Lydia and Jackson had been, with the constant public affection and the desire to constantly show that they were together.
Jess didn't mind at all cause she knew they didn't have to always hold hands or kiss each other hello or goodbye to express their feelings, you could always see it in their eyes whenever they looked at each other. You could see that they loved each other and that was all she needed and she knew stiles felt the same way.
She climbed into the bed, switching off the light beforehand and making sure the door was open slightly so the sheriff wouldn't get mad. Stiles's curled his arm around her waist and pulled her a giant him so her back met his. Their hand entwined against jessica's stomach and stiles put his face into her neck, letting out a sigh of content. Their legs entwined together underneath the covers and jess squeezed his hand slightly feeling the familiar squeeze back.
'I love you' stiles whispered into her ear and she smiled, her heart skipping a beat like it always did whenever he said those three words to her.
'Love you too' she whispered back, squeezing his hand. Stiles place a soft kiss to her temple before their eyes shut. Their breathing slowing down, the two fell asleep, feeling comforted, relaxed and loved.
Jessica face a slight groan when she heard the sounds of the coffee machine going off in the kitchen and span around burying her face into Stiles's shoulder refusing to get up. She hated mornings these days cause it just brought back all the troubles happening in her life. She didn't want to think about sacrifices, dark druids or the alpha pack anymore cause they were all just dark thoughts that Brough her down and she was sick of being down.
She felt stiles tighten his grip around her still fast asleep not having werewolf senses like hers. Though a knock on the door brought him out of it and Jess refused to open her eyes. 'Come on kids, time to get up' the sheriffs voice entered the room.
'Five more minutes' stiles groaned out and Jess nodded in agreement.
'Unless you two want to be late for school and get detention. I reckoned you get up now' the sheriff said giving them an ultimatum.
Jess whimpered as the warmth of stiles body left her as he sat up at his dad's words 'Alright, alright, we're getting up' he said, looking at his dad who nodded before leaving taking a sip from his coffee mug.
Stiles climbed out of bed and Jess groaned before following suit. The two got changed, stiles in his usual plaid and jeans ensemble while jess pulled on some black leather skinny jeans with a black long sleeved shirt. She threw on a washed out denim jacket and slung a pink coloured scarf around her neck. Finishing it off with a pair of peach coloured flats.
She tied her hair up into a messy bun as the two made their way into the kitchen, grabbing some coffee for the ride to school and a breakfast bar each.
Jess left her motorcycle at the house catching a ride with stiles in the jeep. They met up with Scott at the front of the school and he assured them that his and Jess's mom was safe and there hadn't been any incidents though the couple had kind of already guessed that as they hadn't received any phone calls in the middle of the night.
The bell rung and the trio made their way into the school, having chemistry first up. 'Good morning.' Ms Blake greeted them all, closing a textbook at the front of the class 'As you all know, Mr. Harris is still missing... I mean, sick.' She corrected and the trio glanced at each other before she continued 'Anyway, I'm filling in while we all hope and pray for a more qualified substitute to take my place. Okay, so let's get started, shall we?' She said with a hesitant smile and Jessica knew that their English teacher was way out of comfort zone right now but hey at least she was trying unlike some of their teachers in the school.
'Hey, my dad said that the E.R. attending wasn't strangled but did die from asphyxiation. They just don't know how.' Jessica heard stiles inform Scott as she was sitting in front of the with a girl named Julie beside her.
'Do you think the on-call doctor could still be alive?' Scott wondered
'I don't know... But, Scott, there's got to be at least 20 other doctors in that hospital... at least, you know? Any one of them could be next.' Stiles said and Scott sighed before his phone buzzed in his pocket.
'Hey, doc. Sorry, I'm in class right now. Can I call you back later?' He said quickly into his phone bending over to the side.
'Unfortunately, no.' Jess frowned as she heard Deaton speak over the receiver 'I honestly thought I might never have to burden you like this, but I'm afraid, at the moment, you're my only hope. I'm going to be taken. I need you to find me.' Was all he said before hanging up nd Jessica's frowned deepened. Deaton was a healer, he was veg but that was still a healer. He was going to be the third sacrifice if they didn't act quickly.
'Doc, doc, doc, doc? What's happening?' Scott said quickly into the dear receiver before hanging up glancing at the others worriedly.
"All right, we're doing everything we can.' The sheriff assured the three teens in front of them in the clinic. Scott had left earlier on in th calls claiming an emergency to ms Blake while stiles called his dad about deaton. Jessica and stiles had followed Scott after the class ended, skipping their next class 'Right now, the best thing you can do is go back to school.' He said to them and they nodded before he went back to talk to his deputy.
Scott dragged the other two into a supply room before looking at Jess 'can you find him?' he questioned.
'I can try but I need something of his first. It's not the full moon and I don't have as a strong connection with deaton as you do she told him and Scott pulled out des tons keys to the clinic and handed them to her. 'Okay Scott give me your hand' she said and he looked at her confused you have the closet connection to deaton, Peter told them me that if I'm touching someone with a stronger connection it would be easier to find them' she explained and Scott nodded holding her hand.
Jessica closed her eyes before opening them, her eyes flashing a. Bright gold as she activated her ability. Yet that was when everything went wrong. She caught a glimpse of deaton's face before everything went dark and blurry before a horrifying image of a scarred pale creature jumped in front of her and she felt herself going crashing into the wall, opening her eyes the connection lost.
The first thing she saw was both stiles and Scott worried and fearful expressions in front of her. The second thing was the taste of metal in her mouth. She wiped her face seeing blood running down her face from her eyes. Her eyes were bleeding?
'Holy shit, Jess are you okay?' stiles quickly questioned worried and she nodded slowly.
'What happened?' she asked and the boys glanced at each other.
'The minute your eyes went gold, you started shaking like crazy your claws even came out' Scott told her and she could see the healing puncture wounds in his hand 'we tried calling your name but you weren't listening and you started muttering something in like Latin or something. Then your eyes started bleeding before you were pulled out of it' he explained and Jessica frowned confused, that's never happened before.
'It's got to have something to do with the darach. Maybe it's like blocked you out or something' stiles guessed though the worried look in his eyes didn't fade as he helped her to her feet.
Jess nodded thinking that was the most plausible explanation but it worried her, if the darach blocked her out then she was useless in helping rinsing deaton and the other sacrifices to come, also it meant the darach knew about her ability and that was something even worse.
'Did you see deaton though?' Scott wondered.
'I saw a glimpse of his face before everything went dark' she said, not mentioning the horrifying face she had seen. Scott sighed sadly at the information before nodding. He glanced out the window of the door seeing the sheriff still talking to the deputy before glancing back at stiles.
'We have to tell him.' He said and stiles stared at him confused.m
'You mean, like, tell him, tell him, or tell him something else that isn't telling him what I think you want to tell him?' Stiles questioned
'You know what I mean.' Scott sighed
Stiles shook his head 'You remember how your mom reacted? She didn't look you in the eye for, like, a week.' Jess winced slightly at the memory that had been a horrible week.
'And she got over it, and... and it actually made us closer.' Scott told him and Jess shrugged, that was try they were closer as a family than they had been in years.
Stiles still shook his head 'I don't know, dude. I mean, look at him. Come on, he's completely overwhelmed as it is.'he said pointing to his father who was no alone sighing confused and stressed out.
'He's overwhelmed because he has no clue what's happening. He's got people dying in his town, the town that he's supposed to protect, and it's not his fault that he doesn't know what's happening. He's gonna find out sooner or later.' Scott told stile.
'Yeah, but is now really the right time?'
'What if not telling him now gets someone else killed?'
'What if telling him gets him killed, huh?' Stiles argued 'I mean, okay, look, I get that Deaton's been like a father to you. I get that, okay? But this is m... Scott, this is my actual father.' He sighed, his expression growing sadder 'I can't... I can't lose both of my parents, all right? Not both of them.' He shook his head and Jess wrapped her arms around his waist offering comfort, she hated seeing him like that. It always made her feel like crying cause he becomes so sad whenever he thinks of his mom.
'You're right.' Scott nodded, backing off when he saw how upset his best friend looked.
'No, I'm not.' Stiles shook his head, sighing sadly 'I'm not right. I'll tell him.' He nodded.
'Are you sure?' Jess asked and he nodded
'We'll help you.' Scott said and Jess moved so her hand was clasped in stiles instead, squeezing it to show that she would be by his side the whole way. She knew he got the message by the way he squeezed back.
The trio left the storage room only to stop in surprise seeing ms Morrell talking to the sheriff and deputy 'Please, whatever you need, however you can help find my brother.'
'Brother?' Jess mouthed to the others whom shrugged just as surprised as she was.
'Will you excuse us for a moment?' The sheriff told her and she nodded before catching the trio eyes and she walked over while they left.
'Okay, listen closely, all of you. No sheriff, deputy, or Detective is going to be able to find him.' Ms Morrell said to both of them and Jess frowned wondering how exactly she knew what they were going to do. There was definitely more to their guidance councillor and French teacher then she originally thought.
'You don't have to ask us for help.' Scott told her
'Actually, I'm trying to help you, because, if you're going to find my brother, then you need to use the one person who might actually have an ability to seek out the supernatural.' She said and Jess frowned before realisation hit her the same time it hit stiles
'Lydia.' They both muttered and Morrell nodded.
The trio split up again because while the boys were going back to see Lydia, Jessica decided to pay a certain hale a visit.
She walked into peter's apartment downtown, having used the key above the door frame. She had been there quite a few times as Peter usually have her lessons here. She still couldn't believe she was actually taking lessons from Peter hale but he was the only one who knew. About her abilities and weirdly enough he had actually be really helpful in teaching her how to use and control it.
The apartment was very clean The furniture a colour scheme of black and white with dashes of red here and there. It was a nice place, one that you would never expect someone like Peter to live yet she guessed she didn't really knew what he was like before the fire.
A phot album caught her before Sh called out peters name Nd she frowned when caught sigh of the hoot the page was turned to. Her curiosity got the better of her and she moved over to the couch and took a seat pulling the album close to her.
She saw a picture of a younger Peter and realised it wa she fore the fire when she the hale hours behind him however that wasn't what surprised her the most. Peter was standing behind someone, a beautiful woman with blonde hair and he was holding from behind. They were staring at each other with only one emotion, love.
She saw two matching gold bands around their fingers and she frowned again, Peter had been married?
She flicked the page and immediately recognised a younger Derek and Peter. Derek looked only about five while Peter was older and they were playing basketball. Derek was on Peter's shoulders dunking the ball into the basket with biggest smile she had ever seen on his face. Peter had a smile as well as he helped his nephew score a goal.
On the other side of the page was a photo of Peter and another woman, talia hale Jessica guessed seeing the resemblance in the two of the, and the resemblance she hard with Derek. They had their arms wrapped around each other's shoulders looking at the camera with a smile. Talia was wearing black graduation roves while Peter was I a suit so she guess it was her graduation.
She flicked the page over again and saw the beautiful blonde was back but this time it was her holding a baby boy in her arms, a giant smile on her face as she looked at the camera in a hospital gown. Jessica stared down at the photo in shock, Peter had a son? He had a family before the fire?
'Her name Sarah' Jessica jumped at the sound of peters voice and she span around to see Peter leaning against on of the door frames.
'Sorry I know I shouldn't have looked but...' Jessica immediately apologised, feeling bad that she had invaded peters private life.
Peter merely shrugged 'not a big deal' he said before he sat down in the arm chair to her left taking the alum into his own hands. He stared down at the phot with a blank expression though his eyes told everything. She could see love in his eyes yet also so much hurt.
'His name was Ethan' he said quietly, tracing a finger over the baby in the photo. 'He was two' he muttered and Jess frowned sadly, knowing he meant that he was two when the fire happened.
'I'm sorry' she said to him. For the first time she felt truly sorry for Peter. She had always felt sorry for Derek for losing his family in a fire but know she also felt sorry for Peter, she had no idea that he had lost his wife and son in the fire that day as well.
Peter flipped the page where it was just a picture of Sarah smiling up at the camera laying amongst the grass 'she was the other wolf' he said and Jess frowned.
'What do you mean?'
'She's the only other wolf beside you to have enhanced sight' he explained and Jess stared down at the photo in surprise before looking up at Peter
'That how you know everything about it?' She guessed and Peter nodded.
'She would of been able to teach you better then I ever could. She was always a better teach, taught all the pups in the pack how to read and write before they went to school, she always wanted to be a teacher' Peter said, his voice turning distant but Jess could. Hear the love underneath it.
'Was she your mate?' She wondered and Peter nodded.
'Yes, she was what stiles is to you. My anchor to humanity and my mate to my wolf' he explained and Jessica looked down. She couldn't imagine how Peter must feel. She couldn't even imagine living without stiles in her life but her Peter was alive after losing his mate, his son, his whole family.
'She was very beautiful' Jess said, knowing that saying that she was sorry was pint less as it wouldn't help at all.
'Yeah she was' Peter muttered looking at another phot, this was one with all three of them together. It had to of been taken by someone else as it showed Peter spinning Ethan around with Sarah laughing close by. A perfect family, Jess observed and she could finally understand a bit more on why Peter went so crazy when he came out of his coma.
He had lost his whole life in that fire, he had lost his mate, his wife and his only son. She could understand his desire for revenge against all those who took them away from him. She still didn't like it but she could understand it and that's what mattered.
Peter closed the photo album and looked up at Jessica so is there a reason why your here when you should be at school?' he asked, changing the subject.
Jessica nodded, reserving the real reason why she had come there in the first place. 'deaton's missing. He's been taken as a sacrifice but when I tried to find him using my ability. Scott and stiles say I went into some kind of shock. That I was shaking all over and my claws came out and that I started speaking in Latin as my eyes started bleeding. Why would that happened?' She wondered and watched as Peter leaned back into his arm chair with a thoughtful expression on his face.
It was quiet for several minutes while Peter though before he finally spoke up the darach or Druid or whatever has clearly performed a spell to stop you from seeing the sacrifices, which means your advantage is now a disadvantage. It sounds like the darach was trying to kill you from in the inside or perhaps a more plausible reason trying to blind you, your eyes were bleeding meaning that your ability was no longer straining your wolf side but your human side as well. The Latin who were speaking could have possibly been the spell the darach had cast over you and by having you chant it you were essentially blinding yourself' Peter explained his theory.
'So I can't find any of the sacrifices without blinding myself?' Jess questioned.
'Yes or it could be killing yourself as you said you were shakin and lost control of your shift, essentially it could have easily turned to the darach hypnotising you to hurt yourself like. It has already done by poison you all at the cross country meet' he added and Jess nodded trying not to think about their little adventures at the motel. That feeling she had got when she was there was definitely not one she ever wanted to feel again.
'Is there anyway to break the spell or remove it or something?' she wondered and Peter shook his head.
Not that I know. Druids are magical beings. My guess is you would have to speak with one of them or...' he trailed off getting a thoughtful look on his face.
'Or what?' She prompted
'Well it depends if they were still alive but you could ask ways ask the alpha that changed Sarah' he propositioned but Jess in frowned.
'I thought into Sarah and I have the ability?' Jessica wondered confused.
'Oh you are but the alpha that changed her and gave the ability must have known more about it after all Sarah learned everything to do with her ability from her' Peter explained.
'Okay, great where is she?' Jessica asked, eager to learn more about this still pretty mysterious ability of hers.
'last time I heard her and her pack were moving through Los Angeles' he muttered before grabbing a piece of paper from behind him and a pen before scribbling something onto it 'at this address' he said handing her the piece of paper.
'She,Li be able to help?, Jess asked just to clarify.
'Maybe, it's worth a shot, he shrugs and Jessica nods looking down at the paper befor her phone buzzed.
'Hello?' She answered, putting the piece of paper into her jacket barely noticing Peter grabbing the album and. Putting it somewhere in the drawers beside him for safe keeping.
'Hey Jess' stiles spoke ,look the plan didn't work st Derek's place and apparently sour wolf is fighting Kali at the ,omens,
,is he insane?, Jess said in disbelief in what sides had just told her. P
'yeah most definitely. We're heading over there now. Scotts gone for deaton he was in the bank vault' he explained and Jess didn't even bother to ask who they found that out already rising to her feet,
Malright I'll meet you there, she told him before hanging up. She went o tell Peter what was happening only to see the ex alpha a half already disappeared. She frowned slightly before shrugging it off and leaving the part meant climbing onto her bike that she ha picked up from stiles,s place after the clinic incident and she sped down the road towards Derek' s loft apartment.
She arrived and couldn't see the familiar blue jeep but she didn't pay it no mind, having no time to waste and she raced inside the hliding but and uk the soars towards the loft.
Turning the corner, she raced into the loft only stop in pure horror as she saw Boyd being shoved down onto Derek's claws by Kali, Ethan and Aiden holding back the hale alpha. Derek stared up at his beat in horro as Boyd choked on his own blood.
Jessica clamped her hands over her mouth to stifle the small scream that escaped her as Kali let go and Boyd fell forward into Derek's arm. Ethan and Aiden letting him go.
'I'm giving you till the next full moon, Derek., Kali Calle doubt to the broken alpha as she began walking out with smug satisfaction. Ethan and Aiden surprise Jessica only slightly when they stared back at the two, remorse flashing in their eyes but aiden's went darker faster then Ethan's as they covered it up before they followed the dark haired alpha 'Make the smart choice. Join the pack... Or next time I'm killing all of you.' She threatened, glaring down at Jessica and Issa who Jessica realised was beside a scared ms Blake, Jessica didn't even bother wondering why she was there as she growled out at the alphas threat, her eyes blazing with pure anger. She went to go after the, but Issac merely grabbed her hand gently and she stopped.
'It's okay.' Boyd's broken but reassuring voice had Jess turning around. To look at the two still in the water that flooded the loft.
'No, no. No, it's not. It's not.' Derek shook his head, tears welling over his hazel blue eyes as he stared up at Boyd in horror and remorse. Jessica felt the tears begin to swim min her own eyes as she watched. Boyd and her had never been close but he was still pack, he was still family and watching him die was so painful.
'It's all okay, Derek.' Boyd assured Derek, his eyes glazing over
'I'm... l'm sorry.' Derek said, his voice broken.
'The full moon. That feeling... That was worth it. There's a lunar eclipse. I always wondered what... What that felt like for one of us. For one of us...' Boyd breathed out and Jess could sense that there was something else behind his words, perhaps it had something to do with Erica?
That moment Boyd fell backwards out of Derek's arm, his yes lifeless as his body crashed into the water. Jessica let out a silent sob at the sight. Derek stared down at his betas dead body, the tears in his eyes shining as he stared down, his hands burning from the blood of his beta covering them.
Jessica heard footsteps then but she didn't bother turning around already sending who it was. Cora appeared first and when she saw the sight before her. She muttered out a 'no' quietly before she reached forward splashing through the water, reaching Boyd's body she let out a broken cry when she saw no life in his eyes and she sobbed hunching over into his chest.
Jessica hadn't even noticed stiles had entered until she saw him place a comforting hand onto Derek's, shoulder as the alpha continued to stare at Boyd and now his sister in front of him.
Jess only knew Lydia had appeared when she felt herself being enveloped in the familiar scent of her perfume and she turned her head and silently cried into her friends should,ear, Lydia holding her as she looked at the group in front of her,
Jessica saw Issac in front of her and she pulled away from Lydia slowly and she went sit beside the curly haired beta who was trying so hard to keep his emotions at bay. Jessica reached over and pulled him into a hug and only then did he let out a broken whimper curling into her arms.
The two betas cried together for the loss of their packmate.
Jessica and Issa entered their house later that night. They had just finished burying boyd's body with the others. His body rested in the woods right beside where they had dug Erica's had all gone their separate ways after the small funeral they gave him. No words had been said during it but no words had needed to be said as they all grieved the loss silently but together.
Melissa wasn't home having to work the late shift and Scott had gone to deaton's after the funeral to talk about so,etching though he didn't say what just that it was just about something that happened in the vault.
The two betas rested against the couch, not talking but resting in an almost comfortable silence, it was only broken when Jessica reached a hand into her jacket and pulled out the piece of paper Peter had given her.
It had the name, Alexandra at the top with an address underneath. Jess glanced over at Issac who sniffed slightly rubbing his red eyes.
'Hey' she caught his attention and he looked at her curiously 'wanna come to La with me?'
