Chapter 6: Preparation
The next morning, Stiles and Malia go to Derek's loft so that Derek can teach her more techniques to control herself, even on a powerful full moon. He decides to tell her about some of the Hale family tricks to staying in control.
"You want to learn how to stay in control, Malia?", Derek says.
"Yes, to protect Stiles and so I don't kill anyone I care about again", Malia says.
"Staying in control on the Blood Moon will be very difficult, for all of us", Derek says.
"Yeah, that's kinda obvious, now teach me", Malia says.
"Well, first you just have to feel it", Derek"
"Okay, I feel it", Malia says.
Malia eyes then begin to glow as she shifts, unleashing her claws and fangs.
"Good, now it's helps to have an anchor, something that helps keep you from losing control. Find your anchor Malia", Derek says.
Malia growling says, "I do have an achor, it's Stiles."
Derek, being cautious as he sees that she's still having trouble.
"Malia, Cora and I have the same anchors, which is anger."
"Malia!, what you did to your family was not you're fault, I know you loved them and I know you would never want to do anything like that again, so think about how you don't want to hurt them or me the next time you start losing control", Stiles says.
Malia, shifting back says, "I have control, thank you."
"Sometimes chanting phrases about things you care about also helps to create a focus point, so keep that in mind", Derek says.
Just then, Scott calls Stiles and tells him to meet him at Deaton's. Stiles and Malia then leave Cora and Derek, get in the jeep, and hurry to Deaton's office. In the jeep Malia asks Stiles who Dr. Deaton is and Stiles tells her that he is a special veterinarion who knows about the supernatural. Stiles explains that Deaton helps them with any trouble that they are in, with his knowledge of the supernatural world. They arrive and when walking through the door Malia is hesitant and Stiles tells her that it is just mountain ash and that she will be okay. They see Scott and Deaton, going to them.
"Glad you could join us", Deaton says.
"Why did you call me here?", Stiles says.
"Well, I figured that since we were going up against Peter and his pack, that we could use some extra help and a few advantages. That's why I came to Deaton and told him what's going on and he has some stuff that could help", Scott says.
"Oh yeah, like what?", Stiles says.
"Well for starters, I got you a new bat Stiles, but it's no ordinary bat, this bat is special because it's laced with wolf's bane", Deaton says.
"You're giving me a metal bat laced with wolf's bane to use against superpowered werewolves?!"
"Yes, but that's not all I'm giving you. I'm also giving you some mountain ash just incase you need it", Deaton says.
"I don't know how all of this is going to help", Stiles says.
"Believe it will and it will Stiles", Deaton says.
"How do you know?", Stiles says with a confused look.
"Call it a spark of madness", Deaton says smiling.
With Stiles confused by his words, Deaton turns his attention to Scott and says, "Scott I have to talk to you."
Scott looking curious asks, "About what?"
"About what you might have no choice to do on the Blood Moon", Deatons says.
Scott confused says, What do you mean?"
"I'm talking about the fact that you might have to kill", Deaton says.
"What!? No, we're predators but we don't have to kill" Scott says.
"Scott, everyone knows that Peter Hale is a bad guy and that all he cares about is power. He only cares about being back at the top of the supernatural food chain, and he will do whatever it takes to get there. He will kill anyone who he sees as a threat, anyone supernatural who he sees as weak and anyone who gets in his way. He will try to manipulate you all and tear you apart, because he knows you are powerful together. He might even try to get you to join him. His mind is twisted and warped to the point where he feels he has kill all the weak, but he doesn't realize that without the weak, there would be no strong or no balance. He will never change his ways and someone like that cannot be allowed to live, Scott", Deaton says.
Scott, angrily says, "I don't want to kill, I don't want to become a monster like Peter"
"Scott, not all monsters do monstrous things and killing Peter is completely justifiable because if not, many people are going to die", Deaton says.
"Yeah...I know", Scott says sighing.
"Look, are we all just gonna keep standing around and talking the whole time?", Malia says.
They all turn and look at Malia.
"There's not much time before the Blood Moon and we still have stuff to do, besides who says Peter isn't already here" Malia says angrily.
"She's right, we gotta go", Scott says.
"We will go get Lydia, while you go get Kira, Scott", Stiles says.
"Okay, see you later", Scott says.
"Good luck guys, you're going to need it", Deaton says.
"Yeah we know, what else is new", Stiles says.
The three teens then leave Deaton's office, Scott to go get Kira, Stiles and Malia to go get Lydia, they all decide to meet up at Derek's loft later. Stiles drives off in his jeep and Scott rides off on his motorcycle. Meanwhile, Kira is almost done training with her mother Noshiko. She's learning how to effectively use her powers as a Kitsune and she's getting pretty good with her kitana.
"You're getting pretty skilled Kira", Noshiko says.
Smiling, Kira says, "I know mom, thanks"
"You should be as good as me in about 800 or 900 years", Noshiko says laughing.
"Yeah if i'm still alive by then", Kira says worriedly.
"You will be fine Kira, I have faith in you", Noshiko says confidently.
"Thanks mom, that really helps", Kira says.
"Remember what I have taught you and be safe out there, I love you Kira", Noshiko says lovingly.
"Thanks mom and dad, I will, I love you too", Kira says.
Scott shows up in Kira's driveway and is here to pick her up. Kira tells her mom goodbye and gives her a hug before leaving and getting on the motorcycle with Scott, sharing a kiss. Scott tells Mr. and Mrs. Yukimura goodbye before driving off. At Lydia's house, Stiles and Malia have just arrived to pick her up. Malia has to use the bathroom and Lydia gets in the jeep.
"So Stiles, you and Malia seem to being getting pretty cozy", Lydia says.
"She makes me be the little spoon", Stiles says.
"Stiles, things are going to get dangerous", Lydia says.
"I know", Stiles says.
"I don't want anyone to get hurt and I don't want this to happen. Peter and his pack are coming to kill us all and I don't know if we can stop them. I have a feeling I'm going to be doing a lot of screaming tomorrow night", Lydia says.
"Listen Lydia, it's okay to be scared. None us of know if we are going to be okay or even alive after this, but I promise that I will do my best to protect you the best I can. Even if I don't make it out alive, I sure as hell will make sure you do. Things like this have happened before, so don't worry", Stiles says smiling.
Smiling, Lydia says, "Thanks a lot Stiles, you always know what to say and you always make me feel better"
"That's one of my superpowers", Stiles says laughing.
Malia comes out of Lydia's house and gets into the jeep. The three teens then drive to Derek's loft to get ready. Scott and Kira are also on their way to Derek's loft to also get prepared. Meanwhile, at Derek's loft, Derek and Cora are there. They are waiting for everyone else to get here so that they can make more preparations and finalize the plan to take down their uncle, the one that they used to trust and have known for years. The two then begin to wonder if they can actually take down Peter once and for all.
"Do you think we can actually stop him?", Cora asks.
"I really don't know, but we have to try. Our mother told me that the Hale's didn't just live in Beacon Hills, we protected it, and that's what we have to do, no matter what", Derek says confidently.
"Try not to forget that Peter is a Hale too, Derek", Cora says.
"He may be a Hale, but he's certainly not acting like one. The Hale's are supposed to be peaceful protectors, who only fight and use violence when it's necessary in order to protect Beacon Hills and the people in it. Peter doesn't believe that, he must believe that is what the caused all the terrible things to happen to our family. He thinks that our family has to be the strongest in Beacon Hills and has to rule over it with violence and an iron fist. He's going to use his new strength to do terrible things, Cora", Derek says worriedly.
"No matter what his reasoning is for doing any of this, it's still not good and it's not the right thing to do. We have to stop him", Cora says.
"I know, which is why we have to continue mom's way of life, so that we can make the Hale family and her proud", Derek says.
"Carrying on mom's will, I'm glad we're finally fighting for something meaningful", Cora says.
Just then, Scott and Kira come in.
"Is everything almost ready", Scott asks Derek.
"It should be very soon", Derek tells Scott.
Stiles, Lydia and Malia then come in. They are happy to see that Scott and Kira are already here. Not too soon after, Danny and Ethan also arrive at the loft, glad to see everyone. Now that everyone is there, they all start talking about tomorrow night, the plan and what they're all gonna do. While explaining how everything is going to work, the alarm in the loft starts going off, which alarms everyone. Not knowing what's coming but wanting to make sure that everyone stays safe, Scott and Derek 's eyes start to glow as they shift, unleashing their claws and fangs, ready to attack whatever is coming if they have to.
