Skye's POV
The sound of my phone ringing nearby woke me from a deep slumber which was a blessing since I haven't had a decent nights sleep in weeks, I groaned rolling over in attempt to grab it but came in contact with a hard solid chest which made me forget my phone and smiled wrapping my arm tighter around him.
"What are you doing?" I looked up smiling at him.
"Avoiding my phone, it keeps ringing and annoying me"
"Ignore it" he mumbled closing his eyes again but my ringtone started going off again which was the final straw, I stood up angrily and pulled on Derek's discarded t-shirt then grabbed my phone off the wooden bench seeing Stiles' name flashing.
"What?!"
"About time, I've called you three times" I rolled my eyes. "We have a problem down at the hospital, two doctors have gone missing"
"Two?" I asked then looked down at Derek who was pretending to be asleep. "Let me guess your thinking it's more sacrifices?"
"Yes" I furrowed my brows and shook my head at him since I was still hesitant about all this sacrifice crap even after they told me about what happened at the track meet while Derek and I were occupied otherwise.
"Alright, I'll look into it and see if there's a connection or a reason behind these ones" he told me the names of the doctors who've gone missing and I wrote them down. "I'll talk to some old contacts and get back to you" I hung up then dropped my phone back down onto the bench then climbed back into bed cuddling into Derek.
"I told you just to ignore it" I scoffed and shook my head.
"Have you meet Stiles, the kid doesn't know how to give up and besides we've been locked up in here for days I might as well get back out into the real world soon and that includes the homicidal manic out there killing people"
"I didn't hear you complaining"
"That's cause I'm not, I wouldn't change the last few days for anything" I moved myself closer to him so that I was laying over his bare chest. "And I wish I could just stay here and never leave"
"So do it, I could live in this bed with you" he wrapped his arms around my waist and held me to him.
"I'd love that but-" he groaned throwing his head back again making me smile. "We do need to move for food since I'm kind of starving given we've haven't really moved in over twelve hours other than the obvious"
"Again with the complaining"
"Hey" I slapped his chest but couldn't help smile when he laughed and joined in the jumped off and made simple mac n' cheese for us since it was one of the only few dishes I actually knew how to cook then we went back to bed falling asleep in each other's arms and finally I felt in one piece again, he is what made me feel whole.
I shot up startled out of sleep when the alarm started beeping loudly, Derek jumped up and ran over to it quickly and turned it off then turned to look at me as I sat up just as Cora walked in looking at Derek worriedly before she nodded towards the window.
"What does it mean?" I turned and saw the Alpha's pack symbol painted on the floor to ceiling window.
"It means there coming" Derek replied after turning and seeing the mark too. "Tonight" he added catching my worried eyes. "It'll be fine" I glared at him because he was not taking the threat seriously.
We'd already been tipped off by Scott who got tipped off by Ethan after they'd saved his life during their stay at the Glen Capri that Kali was gunning out for Derek's head on a spike after Ennis died because she was blaming it all on Derek.
"Kali is coming to kill you Derek, that is not fine" I stood up and crossed the floor to stand in front of him as Cora made herself scarce. "You have to-"
"Skye don't worry about me, go to school okay and I swear I'll stay here"
"What's that going to do, they broke in before and clearly are smart enough since neither of us woke up when they did that" I pointed dramatically towards the window.
"Skye please" I sighed looking down at my feet. "I know you want to protect me and I have no doubt that you could shoot to save your life but right now school is more important for you okay"
"I hate you" I mumbled under my breath.
"I know" he chuckled pulling me into a hug. "I'll be fine I promise and if anything happens I'll call you" I nodded reluctantly.
"Fine but I'll be home straight after school" he nodded then kissed my forehead.
"I know you will" I showered then got dressed and rode my bike to school parking beside Scott's then headed in and the first thing I did was seek out Isaac finding him by his locker.
"Hey Isaac" he looked up with a soft smile but I knew that was gonna change fast as soon as I asked him. "I know what I'm about to ask you is a lot to ask and I wont blame you if you don't want to help"
"Slow down, what is it?" I looked up at him with a frown.
"I need your help with protecting Derek" his face fell and he turned back to his locker grabbing a book out then shut it. "The Alpha pack marked the window of the loft with they're symbol, they're coming for him tonight" he sighed loudly.
"Okay" my eyes widened in shock.
"Really?" he nodded but still didn't seem to really want to. "Isaac you don't have to do it just because I'm asking"
"I'm not, Derek's an ass but that doesn't mean he deserves to die" he turned to me then smiled. "I'll do it for you Skye" I nodded then reached out and squeezed his hand.
"Thank you, I'll owe you big time for this"
"You bet you will" I couldn't help the laugh that escaped before we went our separate ways, I walked into chemistry and took a seat wondering who the hell would be taking this class since Harris was one of the missing teachers, I'd always hated Mr Harris but if Stiles was right then there was a fat chance the man was still alive.
I groaned letting my head fall against the desk when I watched my least favorite teacher walk in and that was saying something because I thought no one could ever compete with Mr Harris but Ms Blake was looking even more likely to get a bullet between the eyes then he was.
"Good morning, as you all know Mr Harris is still missing…uh I mean sick" I rolled my eyes as I laid my books out on the table opening my notebook. "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?" I shook my head knowing this was going to be one hell of a long class for me.
"Hey, my dad said that the ER attending wasn't strangled but did die from asphyxiation, they just don't know how" I frowned listening in to Stiles and Scott in font of me.
"Do you think the on-call doctor could still be alive?" Scott asked leaning into Stiles more to whisper so I had to crane forward to hear better.
"I don't know" Stiles replied then looked back at me and I quickly looked down at my notebook pretending to write. "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" I frowned thinking about it, the killer must be on the next thrice of sacrifices.
I was believing Stiles more and more daily because it just seemed the likely of the two alternatives, the Alpha pack didn't seem the type to be killing all these people especially with the patterns like this, sacrifices usually take place with these patterns were in preparation for battle which just worried me more because that meant the worst was yet to come.
I looked down as I let my mind wonder back to earth and saw the symbol that was drawn all over my page that I'd subconsciously drawn and frowned because I recognized it from my father's journal, it was a Celtic five-fold knot, I ripped out the page and stuffed it into my pocket then looked up seeing Scott staring at me in confusion.
"Uh it was nothing" I muttered getting back to copying the notes on the board but Scott answered his phone and I saw it was not a pleasant conversation especially when he took off ignoring Ms Blake's protests so I got up grabbing my books and satchel bag and ran out after him. "Scott wait" he skidded to a stop. "What's going on?"
"It's Deaton, he's being taken"
"Let's go" I exclaimed without hesitation and we ran to our bikes getting on and drove to the animal clinic and ran in but I knew we were already too late especially seeing the Sheriff and a Deputy standing there.
"How did you know?" Scott asked them.
"Stiles called me as soon as you two left school, I'm sorry your boss' car is still here" I helped Scott take a seat when he looked out of breath. "And the back door was wide open" I thought back to my earlier thoughts, this had to be healers given the two doctors and now Deaton. "Scott, I need you to tell me everything" I frowned looking down at Scott as we came up with an idea on what the hell we were gonna tell him without telling him the thing, we both reluctantly told him everything we knew so far about the killings leaving out the most important part. "Alright were gonna do everything we can, right now the best thing you can do is go back to school" he walked away so I turned to Scott and Stiles who had arrived during our explanation then saw Scott motion his head for us to follow him into the cat clinic.
"We have to tell him" Scott said as soon as he closed the door and looked up at Stiles.
"You mean like 'tell him' tell him?" Scott nodded once. "Or tell him something that isn't telling him what I think you want to tell him" I rolled my eyes towards Stiles.
"You know perfectly well what he means Stiles"
"You remember how your mom reacted?" Stiles replied looking at Scott. "She didn't look you in the eye for like a week"
"And she got over it" Scott whispered back. "And it actually made us closer"
"I don't know guys I mean look at him, come on he's completely overwhelmed as it is"
"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" I turned to Scott as he said this because I didn't know what was the right thing since I've never had to worry about shit like this my whole family has known about the supernatural for generations.
"Okay but is now really the right time?" Stiles asked so I turned back to him.
"What if not telling him get's someone else killed?" I cut in saying what I'm sure no one else would.
"What if telling him gets him killed, huh?" Stiles shot back glaring at me then turned to Scott. "I mean I know that Deaton's been like a father to you, I get that okay but this isn't…Scott this is my actual father, I can't…I can't lose both my parents, alright not both of them" I reached out and grabbed his hand squeezing it.
"You're right" I replied nodding at him because I didn't know how it felt to lose both parents and wouldn't wish that upon anyone.
"No I'm not" Stiles sighed surprising me. "I'm not right" he hesitated. "I'll tell him" I sighed looking back at Scott.
"We'll help you" Scott replied so I reluctantly nodded my agreement then watched him walk towards the door before I turned back to Stiles when I heard his heavy sigh.
"It'll be okay Stiles" he nodded so I squeezed his hand again then followed after Scott with Stiles right behind me.
"Please whatever you need, however you can help find my brother" we all shared a look when we saw the guidance counselor with the Sheriff, I turned back and glared at her since I knew she was working with the Alpha Pack, she was Deucalion's emissary. "Listen closely all of you, no Sheriff, deputy or detective is going to be able to find him"
"You don't have to ask us for help" Scott argued.
"Actually I'm trying to help you because if your going to find my brother then you need to use the one person who might actually have an ability to seek out the supernatural" I frowned confused.
"Lydia" Stiles supplied and I nodded my head before we left and headed back to the school with Stiles stopping off at home first and he grabbed some stuff to help Lydia hopefully find Deaton.
When we got to school Stiles and I went in a different direction to look for Lydia but the fire alarm suddenly went off confusing me but we continued our search and finally found Lydia in Coach's office with Cora who looked like she was threatening her.
"Let go…I said-"
"Let go" Stiles cut in making ourselves known and they both turned to us with Cora letting go of Lydia's arm, Stiles texted Scott telling him we found Lydia then we went into the Chemistry room and Stiles set a Ouija board down on the desk.
"A Ouija board?" Lydia asked him.
"Also called a spirit board and it's worth a shot" Stiles argued.
"A shot in the dark"
"Would you just try it please, okay let's not forget who this is for Scott's boss, the guy who has saved our collective asses on more than one occasion" Stiles replied.
"Okay so do we all do this?" Cora asked pointing around at us.
"Yeah, yeah" Stiles replied so I sighed and put two fingers on the planchette which is the movable piece that spells out the words. "You guys ready?" Stiles asked, I nodded and looked up at Lydia.
"Yeah" she replied looking down at the board.
"Yes" Cora spat when Stiles looked at her.
"Where's Dr Deaton?" Stiles asked the board but we all looked up at Lydia expectantly.
"What?" she asked when she saw us looking at her.
"Aren't you gonna answer it?" Stiles replied.
"Oh I don't know the answer, I thought we were asking some sort of spirit"
"Well do you know any spirits?" Cora asked Lydia and I bit back a laugh.
"Is she for real?" Lydia asked pointing to Cora, everyone else groaned and took their hands off the planchette which made me roll my eyes because did they know nothing about Ouija boards.
I moved the planchette to goodbye since you weren't meant to take your hands off until you said goodbye and I believed in the spirit world and seriously didn't want a dark spirit attaching itself to me as well as everything else I'm already dealing with, I saw Stiles roll his eyes when he saw me do this.
"Shut it Stilinski, if you actually knew anything about a Ouija board you should know better than to take your hands off without saying goodbye" he just rolled his eyes at me before grabbing a set of keys out of his pocket and held them out towards Lydia.
"Okay these are Deaton's keys for the clinic, close your eyes and I'm gonna put them in your hand and then we're just gonna try and see if you can feel put for his location, it's called psychometry" Stiles explained.
"I'm not a psychic" Lydia replied.
"You're something okay!" Stiles exclaimed getting frustrated with her. "Just…Lydia put out your hand and…" she put out her hand and Stiles put the keys into her hand and she flinched making an ooh sound. "What?"
"They're cold" I groaned and started rubbing my head because this wasn't getting us anywhere.
"Lydia concentrate please, trying to save lives here, for the love of god" Stiles groaned, Lydia rolled her eye but then closed them and seemed to be concentrating hard. "Yeah, what is it, what do you see?" Stiles asked when she seemed to have something, she opened her eyes and stared ahead.
"Nothing" I sighed loudly and leaned back, Stiles sighed then grabbed a pencil.
"Okay let's try automatic writing"
"Automatic writing?" Lydia asked him, Stiles nodded at her so she took the pencil then started drawing something.
"Lydia what are you doing, what the hell is that?" Stiles asked her.
"A tree" she replied.
"A…Lydia you're supposed to be writing words, like in sentences, something like a location, something that would tell us where he is"
"Well maybe you should've said that"
"Isn't she supposed to be some kind of genius?" Cora asked looking at me.
"Genius yes…psychic no" Lydia replied, I leaned my forehead against the table because this whole thing was hopeless and I wished to be anywhere else right now. "Honestly I don't know why you're even bothering with me anyway, especially since it's obvious you should be talking to Danny"
"Wait what, why Danny?" Stiles asked as I looked up confused.
"Because last night he was a target but he wasn't a sacrifice" Scott cut in appearing at the door holding a hand to his shoulder which was gushing blood.
"But isn't Danny still in the hospital?" Cora asked as we headed for the exit.
"Yeah that's where were going right now" Stiles replied.
"I'll meet you there" Scott cut in without turning around.
"Why?" I asked him, he turned and showed us a text on his phone from Allison that read I think I found something so we parted ways with Stiles, Cora and I heading to the hospital while he went to Allison's.
I ran out to my bike while Stiles and Cora went over to the jeep heading off before I could and just as I was about to kick the stand up I felt something hit the back of my head knocking me off my bike and I went face first to the ground groaning in pain when my head smacked against the blacktop.
"Son of a bitch" I looked up with hazy vision and saw Kali smirking down at me.
"Hello little hunter, care to help us out"
"How's this for an answer, go to hell bitch" her smirk fell and the last thing I remember was her punching me in the face before I passed out.
I was woken up when I roughly pulled out of a car by the twins and held between them as Kali grabbed my hair and pulled on it making me look up and I saw that stupid confidant smirk on her face that I just wanted to slap off.
"The others will find me, especially Derek" I spat at her but the smile never fell.
"It's a good thing I already took care of the teenagers texting them that you were gonna help Derek and sweetheart you're the leverage over your precious Derek" my eyes widened in shock and tried to fight against the twins as they started to drag me towards our building.
When we reached the top I watched Kali go first sliding the door open as the twins held me back keeping a strong hold of my arms and around my throat with hand over my mouth so I couldn't scream out a warning.
"Gonna be honest Derek, when Ennis died I thought to myself I'd just go for it, find you and kill you wherever you stood then I remembered how you surround yourself with these teenagers, hiding behind them and I thought 'what's a girl got to do to get you alone'" the twins took that as a signal and brought me out and I watched Derek's snarl falter at the sight of me. "You and me Derek or they tear her apart, what do you say think you can beat me one on one?" I shook my head seeing Derek jerk his head aside to tell Isaac and Boyd to stand aside.
"Derek no, I'm not-" I cut off when the twin holding my throat squeezed tighter.
"I'm gonna rip your throat out with my teeth" they both growled then charged and began the fight.
I shook my head and fought against the twins vice like grip as I watched helplessly as they began to fight but they're grip only got tighter the more I fought and I could feel blood trickling down my neck but I didn't care especially when I watched Kali scratch Derek across the chest.
"Derek!" I exclaimed as Kali jumped on the wall spinning around kicking Derek in the face, she then moved to the table after he tried to force her down, she kicked him into the water that flooded the floor but Derek got up as Kali jumped from the table and she kicked him in the face, sending him flying backwards again. "Derek!" I yelled, struggling because I couldn't watch this happen, I saw Isaac and Boyd were about to make a run for it to help me but the twins grabbed tighter choking me.
"No!" Derek yelled.
"Wait!" Isaac yelled stopping Boyd as Derek and Kali continued to fight with Derek on the losing side because Kali grabbed Derek by the neck and I was about to start fighting when she looked to be going for the final blow but suddenly Isaac ran up to me and grabbed me from the twins just as the power was turned back on and Boyd, Kali, and Derek were all shocked.
"NO, Derek!" I yelled trying to get away from Isaac but he kept his arms tightly wrapped around my waist.
"Take him" Kali ordered the twins so they ran forward and grabbed Derek forcing him to sit up and raised his arms extending his claws then Kali grabbed Boyd and lifted him in the air before dropping him making him fall on Derek's claws and I screamed out.
"Boyd no… !" I yelled tears filling my eyes as Boyd let out a few groans before falling to the ground, I turned hiding my eyes from the sight and cried against Isaac's chest.
"I'm giving you till the next full moon, Derek" Kali spoke up walking away the twins following. "Make the smart choice, join the pack...or next time" she paused looking down at me with a smirk. "I'm killing all of you, especially her" I glared at her as the three Alphas left the room, leaving the four of us by ourselves and I threw myself into Isaac's arms crying more as Derek tried to stop the bleeding but we all knew it was already too late.
"It's okay" Boyd whispered.
"No, no, no, it's not, it's not" Derek stuttered.
"It's all okay, Derek"
"I'm...I'm sorry" Derek whispered and I cried harder when I heard his voice breaking because I knew just how much he didn't want to be responsible for yet another innocent person's death.
"The full moon, that feeling...it was worth it" I clutched Issacs's arms as I knew he was crying too because it felt like the world had stopped spinning, Boyd was our friend and over the course of being Derek's pack we'd all grown closer then siblings. "Did you know it was a lunar eclipse, I always wondered what...what that felt like for one of us, for a werewolf" Boyd's body fell to the ground and I knew then that he was gone and it felt like my heart stopped beating along with his, we'd already lost Erica and now Boyd to.
I got up and ran over to Derek throwing my arms around him with tears still falling down my face as I clutched him feeling him shaking in shock and with his own silent tears as he wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me tighter.
I heard splashing and saw Stiles, Lydia and Cora had come in, Cora was now crying over Boyd's body but turned back when I felt Derek's arms tighten around me even more and looked up behind him, seeing Stiles standing there with one of his hand on Derek's shoulder.
