"This isn't right, you know that right?" Alex said from the passenger seat. We had been chasing a running Derek Hale for ten minutes now.
"If we catch Derek, then the Argents are going to torture him. I need answers, and we aren't going to get those by torturing him. Derek only talks to people that he trusts." I was dialing Scott's number as I spoke.
"Hey! Where are you at?" I had texted Scott and let him know that we were going after Derek. Even though I didn't want to capture Derek, I still had a role to play. I was still in charge.
"Getting ready to pull out in front of you." Two seconds later, Stiles and Scott were right beside me. I smiled at them. "What now?"
"Derek is going to cut left. So I want you to cut right and circle back around. I'll detour the group in the opposite direction." Like clock work, Derek cut down a dark alley on the left.
"How did you..."
"Right. Turn right!" I reminded him. I saw him in my rear view mirror, and then I made a sharp turn out of the alley and onto a street. "You're clear. Go pick him up." I hung up the phone and turned to Alex.
He was sitting solemnly and not meeting my stare. "What?"
"You just let a werewolf get away!" He through his hands toward the windshield.
"Because I need him to let me know when he finds out who the alpha is. He won't do that if we prod him with electric rods." I slammed on my breaks and got out of my car. To let the others know that I had lost him.
Kate was the first person to confront me. "You let him get away?!"
She was furious with me. Chris was right behind her. "I lost him. There's a difference."
I told her without blinking an eyelash. She wanted to say much more, but she thought better of it. She stared at me for a swear a minute straight. It was a very long minute at that.
She took one step towards me, and two of her guys followed her by taking a few steps forward. Alex was out of the car and by my side in a second. "I don't think that would be such a good idea Kate." Alex crossed his arms and smiled at the two guys.
"Do you think you could handle two?" I raised my eyes at him. "They look pretty big if you ask me.."
Without ever taking his eyes off of the guys, Alex said, "Just because they are tall doesn't make them big. It makes them...well, tall."
I busted out laughing and I saw the confusion on Kate's face. She looked back at Argent and gave him a 'what-the-hell?' kind of look. I turned to Alex and smirked.
"Yeah. Okay." I turned back to Kate and then I looked at Chris. "I'm going to say that we just call it a night. We can try again another day." Then I closed the small space left between Kate and myself. I lowered my voice and looked at her directly in the eyes. "Just so you know, you're whole 'I'm-the-biggest-and-baddest-bitch-of-the-coast' thing you got going, doesn't mean shit to me. I've got eyes on you Kate. I suggest you follow my orders and stay out of trouble." Kate didn't let her guard down in the slightest.
"I can not wait to kick your little ass up one side of the street and down the other." She spoke her words through gritted teeth.
I grinned up at her. "Luckily for you, I've just been itching for a fight." I stepped back and smiled at Chris and all of his men. "Good work tonight guys! Get some well deserved sleep." I waived and got back into the driver's seat.
"Do you really think that threatening her is going to make her act any better?" Alex said as he put on his seat belt.
"Do you really think that lecturing me is going to make me forgive you?" I countered his argument and he shut up. We drove back home in silence, once again.
-000-
When I walked through the front door, Alex rushed past me and went directly up the stairs. I turned to see my mother cleaning some dishes in the kitchen.
"Are two seriously still bickering?" She raised an eyebrow at me.
"Not really. We're just too hard heading to say I'm sorry." I shrugged a shoulder and grabbed an apple.
"Olivia Grace..." I walked over to the sink to rinse the apple off, and looked up at her.
"Don't go all mother on me. Not tonight." She cocked her head to the side and raised an eyebrow. "I meant please don't go all mother on me?" She turned back to the sink to rinse off a plate. "I'm just really tired is all."
"Goodnight then sweetheart." She spoke without even glancing in my direction.
When I realized she wasn't going to say anything else, I sulkily walked up to my room.
The next morning I was woken up by a phone call from Jackson. He asked me to come and pick him up from the hospital. I was so happy to see him finally go and get his neck checked out. I knew where the cuts came from and what really caused them, but it looked they were really getting infected.
I had to literally drag my body out of bed. And because I was so tired, I just threw on some comfy clothes. A long skirt, belt, and loose shirt. And I didn't even bother actually fixing my hair. I didn't know why I felt so exhausted, but I did.
"Are you going out?" Alex appeared at my open doorway.
"Yeah. Jackson called and he needs a ride from the hospital." I shrugged. I threw my hair up into a messy bun and walked over to sit down at my desk and mirror.
"Ahh..." It was just the way that he said it. Like he should have already known.
"What? He's a friend. A friend that called and needing help." I was applying soft make-up when I saw Alex, out of the corner of my eye, walk over and sit on my bed.
"Is he okay with just being your friend?" I looked up at Alex's reflection in the mirror.
"I assume. He has asked me to go on a date with him, but I told him now wasn't a good time. And he hasn't treated me really any different."
I saw him nodding his head slightly. "It's probably for the best." I sighed and wanted to say something hateful. I was just so tired of everyone judging my relationship with Jackson. Or whatever it was that we had.
I turned around to tell him off when I noticed that he was all dressed up. Like suit pants and a button down shirt all tucked in, and even a tie.
"Why do you look like you are running for president?" He looked down at his outfit and then stood up.
He grabbed his tie and walked over to my full body mirror. "Is that a bad thing?" He was messing up his tie.
And for a minute I just sat there and watched him as he did it. Then I finally stood up and walked over to where he was standing.
"Let me see it." He turned to face me and I had his tie fixed in less than a minute. "You would think that since it's the guys that actually wear these things that they would know how to properly tie one." I saw a genuine small smile form over his lips.
I grabbed my sunglasses and keys and slid my phone in my back pocket. I was getting ready to walk out the doorway when Alex's voice stopped me. "Are you not going to wish me good luck or anything?"
I turned around and looked at him. "Good luck for what?"
He stood a little taller and smiled proudly. "I have a job interview." He honestly resembled a young boy showing his parents his proud report card.
"So if you get this job...then I will be seeing less of you around the house?" He had a moment of sadness flash across his face before he said,
"Yeah. I guess so."
I smiled brightly at him and said, "Then knock 'em dead tiger." I turned and started to go down the stairs. I stopped dead in my tracks on the last stair when I saw Danny sitting on my couch, with a few books in his lap.
"Hey ...Danny.." I had obviously forgotten about something. Why was here?
Danny gave me a knowing smile and chuckled. "We were supposed to study." I gave him a blank expression. Study for what? "History test?" Oh.
"I knew that. It's just that..." I held up my car keys, as if it were proof. "Jackson called me and I need to go and pick him up from the hospital. But I promise that I will be right back." I turned and saw my mom walk out of the kitchen. She was holding a tray of what looked like snacks and had two smoothies as well.
"Where do you think you are going?" She said in her motherly tone.
"Jackson. I need to go and pick him up from the hospital. I'll be right back."
I had barely made it to the door when she stopped me. "Olivia, it is so rude to leave out on a guest."
"Mom. I will be right back." She kept her face stern. I looked over at Danny. "Do you mind if I ever so rudely go out for little while to pick up a mutual friend?"
Danny looked at me and then he looked at my mother. "I honestly don't mind Mrs. H." Danny pulled out a notebook. "I can just look over my notes while she's gone."
My mother turned back to me and nodded. I didn't know what she was riding my butt so hard, but I wish I could fix it to where she didn't.
-000-
I pulled up at the hospital about fifteen minutes later. I pulled out my phone and sent Jackson a text so he knew I was here.
Out front!
About four minutes later he emerged from the front doors of the hospital. He waived at me, but he didn't make any advances to come over to my car. He gestured for me to come to where he was. As I was walking up, I could tell that he looked pasty white. Like he had seen a ghost. What had that doctor told him?
I jogged up the small set of stairs and stood in front of him. "Can you not walk to my car? I can pull it around if that would make it easier.." I hooked my thumb in the direction of my car. And as I was turning to look at it, he wrapped his arms around me and squeezed.
"Jackson.."
"Thank you so much for coming and picking me up." He spoke in my ear. I patted his back.
"I...I..can't breathe Jack." He let me go and then took my hand.
"Oh, right. Sorry." He smiled. "Shall we go then?" He seemed to be extremely giddy all of a sudden. His color now reaching back to his face.
I nodded to my car and we both started walking that way. I got into the drivers seat and he got into the passenger seat. When his door clicked shut, I someone move out of the corner of my eye from the backseat. But just then something came over my eyes.
"Get the hell off of me!" I threw my hands back, but then someone grabbed my wrists.
"She is going to kill you for this..." Who was that? The voice sounded familiar.
"I'm willing to take that chance." I knew that was Jackson's voice.
"Jackson? Are you okay?" I didn't know what the hell was happening, but I planned on seriously injuring whoever was doing this.
"Alright man. Good luck." I heard a door slam and then I was being pushed to the passenger seat.
"Jackson what the hell is going on?" My car engine started up and I felt Jackson hands reach over and buckle me up.
"It'll be alright." He started to speak and I was wiggling free. I remembered that I had a knife in my boot, like always.
"It'll be alright? That's what you have to say to me? You have me blindfolded and tied up!" I was trying to use the door frame to push the blindfold up but it was no good.
"It was the only way..." He made a sharp turn and I lost my balance in the seat.
"The only way for what? Jackson, I swear, if you hurt me, I will kill you." And that was no where a threat. It was a promise.
I heard him laughing. "This is funny dammit!" I wiggled around some more.
"Calm yourself." He reached over and untied my hands. The second I was free, I reached up and took my blind fold off. We were driving down a road. Why was he taking me down a road. He looked over at me and smiled.
"Where are we are going?" He did have any weapons on him, but he was dialing a number on his phone. He handed it over to me.
"Hey sweetheart!"
"Mom? What the hell is going on?" Why was my mother involved? My mind was reeling and I had no clue what was happening.
"Please don't be mad. It was my idea. I told Jackson that the only way he was going to get you out on a date would be to kidnap you. I really didn't know he would take me seriously. But you have to admit, you're a little impressed." I could practically hear the smiles in her voice.
"I'm pissed. Not impressed." I gritted my teeth. People don't kidnap people.
"Have fun sweetie!" She hung up the phone and I want to throw it out of the window.
"A date? You kidnapped me for a date?!" I turned on Jackson. He smiled proudly, just like Alex had this morning. "When this car stops, I'm killing you." I said confidently, but he only laughed again.
"You're mom said you would react this way." He turned left down a smaller road.
"Oh, did she now?" I crossed my arms and stared out of the window. I didn't like this at all. I had stuff I needed to get done. I turned to look at Jackson. "Danny's not going to be happy either. We had a study date today." I tried to prove a point.
"Who do you think helped me tie you up?" He had one eye brow raised at me, and I knew my mouth was hanging wide open. "That's right. I think you forget that Danny is my best friend." I closed my mouth and looked back out of the window.
Jackson made another turn and this time we were pulling into a gravel parking lot. Where in the world were we?
"You know, you can keep pouting all you want. But when you see where I brought you, I'm pretty sure that you will be happy." He parked the car and got out. I however, didn't get out at all. I stayed right in my seat.
He opened up my door, but I stayed sitting with my arms crossed over my chest. "If I have to pick you up and carry you around all day, I will." I looked up at him and when he brought his arms down I pushed him away.
"Fine. I'll get out." I threw my hands up and stepped out of the car. He didn't step back in the slightest bit, so when I stood up I was face to chest with him.
He reached down and put his fingers on the corners of my mouth and pushed up. "How about we turn that frown upside down." He squished my cheeks together. And then said, "I'm a fat kid and I like cake." That caused me to smile and then he let go.
"There we go. That is much better. Now your outfit is complete." He smiled at me and I couldn't help but smile back.
"Where are we?" I asked as he led me to the street.
He led me passed a building and gestured to a huge main street filled with people and booths. I looked up and saw the sign that said it was art festival.
"You found an art festival?" I looked at him, a little skeptical but impressed at the same time.
"You like art." He gave a small shrug. He wanted to act like it wasn't a sweet thing to do, but it really was. "So, are you still mad about me kidnapping you?"
"I will get you for that Whittemore. You can bet your bottom dollar on it." He smiled but held out his hand. I took it and we began walking to the first booth.
-000-
We had been to nearly every booth, and at the end of the street was a photo booth. I had always loved photo booths. They were cheesy and cliche, but the good kind.
"Well, isn't that the perfect way to commemorate our first date." Jackson smiled and pulled me along as he jogged over to the photo booth. "Great. It gives you two copies. Now I won't have to steal yours." He winked at me.
"You really want to take pictures in a photo booth?" Again I was skeptical, but only because I didn't ever imagine Jackson was this type of guy.
"Are you kidding? This face is like a sculpture of a god. It was created to be photographed." He pointed to his face and I rolled my eyes. There's the Jackson that everyone knew and hated.
"Alright, well let's take them then." I got into the photobooth and slid all the way over. Jackson got in behind me.
The light started it's warning flashes, and Jackson and I both made funny faces.
The next picture Jackson covered my eyes, and I reached up and did the bunny ears over his head.
Jackson let his hand up and we were both laughing in the next picture. Then Jackson did something that surprised me.
He pulled me onto his lap and put his hand on the back of my neck. The light flashed for the picture and then he really surprised me when his lips captured mine.
It was different than when he kissed me on the stairs. That kiss was tender and caring. This kiss however, it was much more fierce. Like he was suffocated and the only air he could get was the bit that was in my lungs. His arm wrapped around my waist and pulled me closer to him. I was still sitting on his lap and I brought my hands up to his hair. I wasn't really sure what had come over me, because this was my first time ever really kissing a guy. But I guess everyone had an animal side.
"Hey! You done in there?" Some one beated on the side of the booth and it caused me to jerk. Jackson didn't seem phased at all actually. He was still holding me tight and just smiled at me.
"You should probably get me home now." My words came out as barely a whisper.
He played with a small curl that had escaped my hair tie at some point during the day. "Yeah. I guess you are right." He sighed as he let me up and off of his lap.
The drive back to his house was quiet but a very nice quiet. Jackson had been holding my hand for most of the way home, often massaging the back of my hand with his thumb.
He pulled into my drive way and cut the car off.
"So who was the other guy?" I broke the silence.
He looked over at me with a furrowed brow. "What other guy?"
I pointed to my back seat. "I remember hearing two different guys. Danny and someone else. The other guy didn't speak, but I could tell he was there."
Jackson smiled. "Yeah. He told me that you would. Which is why he didn't speak. He said that you would recognize him." Jackson got out of the car and I followed his actions by doing the same.
"So you aren't going to tell me who it was?" I was slightly offended that he would keep that from me.
He grabbed my hands in his and kiss the inside of both of my wrists. "Good night Olivia." He smiled slyly. He turned and started walking up his front steps.
"That's it?" I had honestly expected a kiss goodnight. I thought that Jackson was the type to want one.
"You couldn't handle any more of my loving tonight. You would spontaneously com-bust." He winked and I thought I heard him laughing but I wasn't sure.
I got into my car and drove home.
-000-
Once I got home, I turned the engine off and just sat in my car. I went to grab a bag of clothes that needed washed and that's when I saw a tie. It must have been what Jackson blindfolded me with.
And that's when I realized that I had seen the tie before. This morning actually. When I was tying it in a knot around Alex's neck. Now I planned on hanging him with it.
I opened up my door and marched up my front steps. I tossed my bag of dirty clothes in the laundry room and ran up the stairs, skipping every other one.
"Well hello to you to!" I heard my mother's voice faintly behind me.
I barged through Alex's door and saw him sitting on the bed sharpening some knives.
"You helped him bind and blindfold me?! Did you even have a job interview? Or did you just lie about that?" He grabbed the knife in his hand and held it up defensively.
"You just stay on that side of the room okay?" He warned me.
"You didn't answer my question."
He stood up and kept his stance ready to fight me. Smart on his behalf. "That's because you already knew the answers. Yes I helped him and yes I lied to you."
I motioned to his knife and laughed. "That's not going to help you." I opened up his top drawer and pulled out the gun I knew he stashed there. "Mine's better." I smiled at him.
"Well, technically it's mine." I aimed the gun at him and he did a back somersault over his bed. When he stood back up he held a gun in the hand that once held a knife. "And now mine's bigger." He smirked. Dammit.
"Why would you do that? Do you have any idea what was going through my mind? I thought I was going to be killed there for a minute!" We both kept the guns up. It was a little bit childish, but it was us.
"Because you needed a day off. Okay?" He sounded tired, but I didn't know why he would be tired. "I did it for you. And kidnapping you was the only way to get you to go. You needed a day with someone who makes you smile. And as much as I don't want to admit it, Jackson does that. He makes you happy."
I was quiet for a minute and then I lowered my gun. "I'm still not happy about you assisting in my kidnapping." I said stubbornly and left to go to my room.
Monday didn't come fast enough. I through on some pants, my favorite boots, and a cute top and my leather jacket. I drove Alex's bike to school, without his permission, as always.
When I got there I had expected to see Jackson standing by my locker. He wasn't there though. In fact, he wasn't to be seen anywhere. He had had called me yesterday and we talked for a while. He even asked me to wear his other jersey to the game tonight. So I thought that things were really good. I still wasn't used to the whole boyfriend thing. Or if I could even call him that, but it was nice. Whatever we were doing.
I walked into history class and faced Danny's all-knowing smile. I sat down next to him and he leaned over immediately. "Soo...how was your date?"
"Did you talk to Jackson?" I raised an eye brow at him.
He nodded. "He said that it went very well." He smiled at me.
"Then you have your answer." I smiled back at him.
-000-
During lunch, I was sitting next to Danny, but still Jackson wasn't anywhere around.
"Have you seen Jackson by any chance today?" I asked Danny, and then I turned the question over to some of the other guys on the team.
They all shook their heads no.
I went back to eating. Maybe he was sick and asleep in bed. But then again, he had a big game tonight. I knew he wouldn't miss it for anything.
When I looked back up, I saw Jackson lurking. Yes, lurking in the corner of the room. He was glaring so intently at something that is was almost scary. I glanced in the direction of where he was staring. Scott and Stiles.
Jackson looked like he was mumbling and when I looked back and the boys they definitely seemed freaked out about something. What the hell was going on?
Jackson disappeared again out of the cafeteria and I saw Scott and Stiles start to get up. I also stood up and I rushed out of the cafeteria. I found an empty room and I waited for Scott and Stiles to pass by. I opened up the door and grabbed Stiles by the arm and pulled him in. Scott followed after him.
"What the hell was that with Jackson in the cafeteria?" I looked at Scott.
"You tell us. You're the one dating Mr. Frankenass!" Stiles snapped at me. I turned to him and he immediately threw his hands up. "I am so sorry. Please don't hurt me."
"He knows about me being a werewolf." Scott admitted. I felt a part of my world crack. This wasn't part of the plan.
"What? How?"
The boys both shrugged. "He put it together. I guess he's smarter than he looks." Scott seemed to be freaking out slightly as well.
"Well, what did he want? What did he say?" I needed all the information in order to figure out how to solve this slight hiccup. Scott just stared at me. I turned to Stiles and he looked away. "What does he want?" I repeated.
Scott took a deep breath in and exhaled before speaking again. "He wants to be turned."
"Turned? Like into a...a..werewolf?"
"No. Into superman." Stiles snapped at me again. I took a step towards him again and reached for his ear. And he shied away. "You know what? I'm actually starting to like Derek."
I turned to face Scott. "Well, what are we going to do? Does he know about the hunters? Does he know about me?"
"Oh mean to tell me that the fact that you hunt down animalistic beings in the moonlight didn't come up while you guys were cuddling?" I turned around to face Stiles again.
"Do you have a problem?" I confronted him.
"Not at all." He shook his head.
"Then keep your mouth shut." I warned him. I didn't know what got into him, but I didn't take shit off of Alex. I definitely wasn't going to take it off of some twig kid like him.
"Okay. Let's just all calm down for a minute. We're all stressed right now." Scott played the nice guy, like always. Then he turned to look at me. "I don't think he knows about the hunters. He didn't say anything about them. But I don't know what we are supposed to do. You're the hunter, aren't you supposed to know how to handle situations like this?"
I nodded my head. That's good news that he didn't know about the hunters. But if he didn't know, then why hadn't he talked to her all day? "You're right. I'll figure this out. In the meantime, you just lay low alright? Play the game tonight and just try to keep Jackson appeased for right now. And I beg you, please don't tell him about me. Please?" I looked at Stiles and Scott.
They both nodded and I ran my hand threw my hair. This was such a huge mess.
I went home directly after the bell rang. Jackson found me after art class and said that he had been doing silent studies all day to catch up on some missed work. He had handed me the jersey and gave me a kiss on the cheek and told me he would see me at the game.
I opened up the front door and my mother was still no where to be found. Where was she? I needed her.
"Alex?" I yelled out. Hopefully he was here. "Alex!" I set my bag down and my keys.
He started to run down the stairs. "Yeah?"
"He knows" I looked up at him. He gave me a blank expression and I realized that he had no idea what I was talking about. "Jackson. He knows. He knows about the werewolves."
His eyes went huge. "Well, does he know about you? About us?"
I shook my head no and Alex let out a short breath. "That's good right?"
"The worst part is that he knows that Scott is one." Alex dropped his head. "And he's demanding that Scott change him." I heard a very unpleasant word slip out of his mouth in a hushed whisper. "What do we do?"
My phone started ringing and then Alex's phone started ringing. We both answered at the same time.
"Hello?"
When we hung up the phones, we looked at each other.
"Kate's gone rogue. again." He told me, which was weird because that's exactly what my informant just told me. He shrugged before saying, "I put a man on the inside too. Two heads are better than one thing."
I holstered the gun and went to go and change. I only had a short time to go and check out what Kate was up to before the game tonight.
I came out and found Alex waiting on me. "Well, let's go then."
We walked down the stairs and my mother was oddly no where to be found. I was a little bit happy, just because I didn't want to have to explain how my date went.
"I'm driving." I grabbed my keys off the counter from where I had slammed them down earlier.
"Not trying to be a smartass here...but are you sure that's safe given the mental state that you are in?" I ignored him and got in the driver's seat anyways.
I started up the engine and glanced over at him. "Where do you think she is?"
"My bet would be Derek's house." He said simply.
-000-
Fifteen minutes later I pulled off to the side of the woods. Alex and I stealthily walked our way over to Derek's house. And sure enough Kate and Allison was in it. We crept around to the side so that way we could hear what was being said.
"I want to be stronger." It was Allison's voice, and she was being very demanding.
"If you be patient. Then I promise I will show you." Kate was the one to speak now.
I moved my foot just slightly, and I slipped. Alex's arm wrapped around my waist and caught me. He held on to me when we both heard Kate and Allison exit the house. We crouched a little lower and hugged the house tighter.
After they were both gone, my phone started to ring. It was Scott.
"Yeah Scott?" His voice was low, like he was in a library.
"I think he is going to expose me here at the game. Tonight. I repeat, I think he is going to expose me. Help!" My phone beeped, letting me know that I had someone on the other line. Stiles.
"I'm on way. Okay Scott? I'll be there in ten minutes." I hung up the phone and answered Stiles' call.
"I know that I was a jerk earlier. But you said that if I ever needed you and it was serious, then call. I need help Olivia. I'm with Derek, and we are following up a lead on the alpha. I have a bad feeling..." I sighed and looked over at Alex. I couldn't be in two places at once, but I could send the next best thing.
"I'm sending Alex. He'll be there soon. Where are you?"
"We're on our way to the hospital." Stiles hung up the phone and I looked over at Alex.
"The guys need our help."
I ran up to the car. We didn't have time to waste and I would just have to fill Alex in while we were driving.
"I need you to drop me off at the game. Scott thinks Jackson is going to expose him while on the field. And Stiles needs help with Derek. They have a lead on the alpha." I was speeding down the road and I didn't have a chance to look over at Alex, but I picture what his face probably looked like.
"No." He was shaking his head. "We are not splitting up. No way. You busted my balls for leaving you last time, and now you are wanting to split up?" I parked the car in the school parking lot and shut the engine off.
"Alex. I have to protect the people at this game from knowing what is really out there. And I need you to go and protect an innocent. It's our job." I leaned over and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Protecting people it was what do." I gave him a small smile.
And then I rushed out of the car and down to the field. The game had just started and I searched the crowd. I had half expected my mom to be here because Jackson had invited her too. But I didn't see her anywhere. I checked my phone again. I had called her several times, as had Alex, but she didn't pick up either of our phone calls.
I found a seat near Allison. And then I saw her dad and her aunt take a seat as well. Isn't that just great.
Both Scott and Jackson were sitting on the bench as the game was getting started and I saw Jackson practically spit his words at Scott. He seemed so stressed and...hateful. I knew that he had a bad side with most everyone, but I haven't ever really had the unfortunate chance of seeing it. It gave me a very unsettling feeling.
I sat back and watched as the game exploded into action in front of my eyes. I just hoped that it stayed lacrosse and not a show and tell.
Alex's POV
I couldn't believe that Libby had actually asked me to go and help out a werewolf. Not just any werewolf, but Derek! He didn't even want our help. I pulled up at the hospital and a bad feeling sank down in my stomach.
I saw Derek run in, but no Stiles. Where the hell was Stiles? I pushed open the car door and grabbed out my gun. I ran in just a few seconds after Derek did.
When I came up behind them, a rather older guy had a woman. I could tell who she was because her head was down. Derek had fangs bared and Stiles was down on the ground up against a wall.
"Easy there..you take a step closer and I'll kill her." The man spoke, but he didn't look at Derek. He was looking directly at me.
"Do you think I care? I just want to see your head, torn off of your body!" Derek growled.
"I wasn't talking to you dear nephew. The little hunter behind you." Derek turned around and noticed me for the first time.
"It's about time you got here!" Stiles shouted from where he was crouched against the wall. "Someone already died. So good job." I noticed, for the first time, that there was a woman's body lying on the ground. And just as Stiles said, she was dead.
"Why would he care about the woman?" Derek ask skeptically.
Derek's uncle raised the head of the woman and my stomach turned to knots and my heart fell. Olivia's mom was knocked out cold. What was she even doing here. I pulled out my gun and aimed it at the man's head.
"I don't believe we had the pleasure of meeting. My name is Peter, and you are..."
"The last person you will ever see before you die. Let her go!" I commanded.
Peter shrugged his shoulders. "Well, since you asked so politely..." Smartass. He must be related to Derek.
Peter through Mrs. H. across the entire hallway. And if I saw correctly, he didn't just throw her, I think he ran his claws down her entire body and she flew through he hands.
I squeezed the trigger and hit him in the chest. I knew it wouldn't kill him, but I was hoping it would slow him down. Derek charged him and they disappeared into a room. I ran past the room and glanced at Stiles.
"Are you hurt?" He shook his head no.
I reached Mrs. H. and she was covered in blood. Peter's claw had ripped over the length of her body. It started at her collar bone and crossed all the way over her stomach and down her left leg.
I could feel a pulse though. I looked up at Stiles. "Stay with her. Don't you dare leave her." I spoke in a deadly tone, so he knew how serious I was.
I got up and ran to the room that I saw Derek and Peter go into to. But I found the room to be empty.
"Shit!" I punched the door and holstered my gun. I ran back to Mrs. H. and lifted her. "Help me get her over to the emergency room."
"Who is she?" Stiles lifted her other side and with us both splitting her weight, we were able to move quickly. I just hoped we could move quickly enough. She was losing blood, fast.
"It's Olivia's mother." I felt Stiles pick up the pace.
"Scott's mom works in the E.R.. She'll get her in to a doctor really quick. Come on." I followed his lead and we rushed down the hallways.
Olivia's POV
The game ended and Jackson found me in the crowd that had invaded the field.
"You won!" I threw my hands up in excitement. And you didn't expose Scott. Yay!
"Well, that's because you were wearing my lucky jersey." He pulled me in for a hug, but it was kind of an awkward one since he still had on his pads.
"How about you go shower and change, and then you can give me a ride home." I smiled at him. I really did need a ride home though.
"Sure thing." He leaned down and gave me a kiss on the cheek. It was weird how he could act so happy with me when only two hours ago he was in deadly mode with Scott.
I watched as he walked off, and then Scott came up behind me.
Nearly everyone had exited the field. There was only one or two people left besides us.
"He has threatened to let the town know what I am if I don't give him the bite." He informed.
"Well, did you tell him that only an alpha could do that?"
Scott nodded his head. "He still thinks that I can get it for him."
"We don't even know who the alpha is!" I threw my hands up.
My phone started ringing and I saw that it was Alex. "Wonderful. Hopefully he has an update on the alpha situation."
"I'm going to go and get a shower." Scott waived at me as he started to walk off. "We'll get this figured out." He reassured me.
"I hope so." I answered my phone then.
"Please tell me that you have some good news. I don't think I could handle any more bad tonight." I put my hand to my head.
"I'm so sorry Libby. I tried. I tried to get to her." Alex seemed like he had been crying, or extremely upset one.
"You tried to get to who? Why are you sorry? What happened?" My chest started to feel tight.
"It's your mom Libby..."
Hey all! I really hope that you liked this update. SO much happened, I know, but I had such a fun time writing it that I just couldn't stop myself. I wanted to put it all in there! haha
I hope everyone is having a lovely night. Or day, depending on where you are from. :)
Please take a few moments to leave a review. Just to let me know what you all are thinking. If you like it, love it, want some more of it? Or even if you absolutely hate it. Let me know!
Much love to each and every one of you!
