I know, I know. I haven't posted in forever, but I lost interest in this story and then I got busy. But the new season of Teen wolf came out and it made me want to work on this story again. So here it is. I know it's not a very long chapter, but I'm still having a little trouble figuring out how to write this story. Soo…. Yeah. Also, I filled up a whole note book with this story, no lie I had continue it in another notebook. XD
Chapter Nine
What To Do, What To Do
The woody smell of the fire enveloped the room. And even from the fire's place in the wall, it heated the room to almost unbearable levels. Kate Argent sat casually on a couch even as a plate was thrown and shattered on the mantle above the fire-place. Her brother marched over to the fire and used his arms to prop himself on the mantle.
"Feeling better?" Kate asked.
Chris shoved himself off the mantle, spun around and pointed an accusing finger at Kate. "Don't push me, Kate!" he all but yelled.
"I thought it was a pretty healthy display of aggression actually."
"You told her!"
"She found out." Kate says innocently.
"Don't think I don't know about the clues that you've been leaving for her, starting with that necklace. She knows because you wanted her too."
"Because she needs too!" growls Kate, finally losing her temper with her brother.
"Why are you back here, you hate this town? I had a network of names I could have called, a lot closer than you, like Sam and Dean. But you called first." Chris says with suspicion evident in his voice.
Kate laughs and then asks, "So now you don't want my help?"
"I'm not sure I know who you're helping."
"Oh come on! I'm here to catch the Alpha." As Kate defends herself, Chris kneels down to pick up the broken pieces of the plate. Kate continues, "Remember, the one running around here killing people at random?"
"Not random." Chris quietly corrects.
"What?"
"Tyler said that sheriff Stilinski can connect every murder back to the Hale fire." Chris says, and then he turns around and looks at his sister.
Kate blinks and looks away. "Th-then that's even more reason for her to know 'cause they've always blamed her for that fire. It had to be Derek and some other relative…"
"There was a woman today with Scott McCall. I saw her when I dropped Alison off at school. She had black hair like Derek and she certainly had the attitude of an Alpha."
"Well, whoever the alpha is, I can guarantee, they're circling around to us as their last targets."
"I know. That's why you're taking Alison away tonight. You'll drive her to the house in Washington and stay there until I call."
Kate laughed as she stood up but she didn't sound very happy. "Are you kidding me? You're gona bench your star player in the last quarter?"
Chris slams the broken plate pieces back down, jumps up and then gets up in Kate's face and yells, "Get your things, I want you two on the road as soon as Alison gets home."
Kate stares into her brother's eyes, searching to see if he's serious and if she has anyway to maneuver in this fight. Finally she smirks and leaves. Chris unclenches his fists and takes a deep breath.

The cold air bite at Jackson and Stiles' skin as they climbed out of the car. Stiles pulled his jacket tight and walked up to the house. Everything was fine until he got to the door. It was like he could hear every heartbeat in the house, every car on the road, every bird in the trees. It was disorienting, his head started to spin. Stiles stumbled and put his hands over his ears. He was about to puke, when Andromeda's voice cut through the sounds.
"Hurry up and get up here." She said. "I'm bored as hell up here."
Stiles looked around but didn't see the vampire anywhere.
"Are you coming?" asked Jackson impatiently from the doorway.
The boys quickly made their way up stairs to Scott's room to find Alison and Scott sitting cross-legged in front of each other on the teen's bed and holding hands. Andromeda was leaning up against an open window and watched the boys as they entered. "Welcome." She said.
Scott turned around, "Stiles!" he called out. "Hi, I was just filling Alison in on, well… everything."
"Oh, well at least you're talking again." Replied Stiles.
Scott blushed and looked down. "Yeah, sorry about that."
"No problem, just… What happened?"
"I don't want to talk about it right now, maybe… maybe later?"
"Alright." Stiles said before he walked a little bit farther into the room but then stopped again and slammed his hand over his nose. "There's that smell again!"
"What smell?" asked Jackson.
"I don't know! I smelled it in the locker room and now here."
"Big woop." Sighed Jackson, but stiles no longer heard him because now he was looking at his best friend who's face had gone as white as the sheets he was sitting on.
"Scott? You okay?" Asked Stiles. Scott was suddenly on his feet and running for the bathroom.
"Scott!" cried Alison as she chased after him. Scott got to the bathroom and tried to shut the door but the lock was broken. Stiles heard the shower turn on as Alison opened the door and then closed it as much as she could behind her.
"I have to get it off!" cried Scott's broken sounding voice from the bathroom.
"it is off."
"No! He could smell it! It's still on me!"
"I take it I said something wrong." Said Stiles meekly.
"Freaks."
"Shut up, Jackson!"
Jackson barged into the bathroom and shut the door behind him. Very soon after Stiles heard a 'Slap' and then Jackson say, "Calm down, McCall, your scaring Alison."
"Pst, Stiles" whispered Andromeda. Stiles had almost forgotten she was there, she was being so quite. She arched her finger at him, beckoning him over to her. When he got to her side, she whispered just loud enough for him to hear, "What did you feel when you caught that sent?"
"Feel?" but then he thought about it. "Sick. Sick and…. Afraid." Stiles looked at Andromeda and saw that she looked surprised. "What was I supposed to feel?"
She watched him for a moment, and just as she was about to answer, the trio came out of the bathroom bringing the strong sent of cologne with them. Scott looked to Stiles with hopeful, pleading eyes and asked, "Can you still smell it?"
Stiles took a deep breath and then said, "Nope, just cologne."
Scott's face lit up with the biggest smile, he turned to Jackson and said, "Thanks Jackson."
Jackson's cheeks turned pink as he said, "Idiot, you should have thought of it yourself."
"Yeah, sorry" laughed Scott.
"Why the hell does it stink like cologne it here," asked a voice from the doorway.
"Derek!" squealed Andromeda as she bound over to envelope the man in a breath stealing hug.
"Hi," Derek managed to choke out.
Andromeda loosened her hug enough for Derek to breath but she still hung on. She looked up into his eyes and gave him her sweetest smile. "I'm so glad you're here," she told him. "I'm starving."
Derek shoved her away, his amused expression replaced by a glare. "No!" he growled.
Andromeda looked shocked and hurt, "Wha... Why not?"
"Just stay away. I'm not feeding you."
The teenagers where all very confused.
"But…I didn't get to eat when I had planned to because I had to come here and rescue you!"
"And now you've done that, nothings keeping you here so go find another wolf to eat."
"What?" exclaimed Stiles. "Another wolf to eat?"
Ignoring .Stiles, Andromeda continued, "I like it here, it's interesting."
"That's not my problem."
"It will be your problem when, in my hunger, I eat a human and go homicidal on your ass."
"Wait, are you guys talking about blood?"
"Yes, Stiles" snapped Derek. "We're talking about blood, you Idiot."
"Were-wolf blood to be precise," added Andromeda. "And Derek is just being unreasonable. It's not like it will kill him and I can make it so he wouldn't feel a thing."
"Why don't you eat Scott?" Derek suggested.
"Eww!" cried Andromeda at the same time Scott exclaimed, "Hey!"
"What's wrong with Scott?" asked Stiles.
"No," she answered. Then she looked at Scott and then shivered and looked away. "Just… no."
Jackson laughed and Scott said, "Now I'm a little offended." Which made Jackson laugh harder.
"Why can't you eat a human?" asked Alison.
"Bad things would happen. Very. Bad. Things."
"What about me?" asked Stiles. "Could you feed off me?"
"You? Uh…hmm…" Andromeda examined Stiles with her eyes. "I'm not sure. You haven't fully changed yet."
"Wait, What!" yelled Jackson. "You got the bite! When! Why you!"
"Uh… Yes, last night, and because I helped the Alpha."
"Helped him? You, how?"
"Shut up, both of you." Andromeda interrupted. "I think eating Stiles could work. But I'd have to take just a sip at first to be sure."
"Um… I haven't agreed to this, I was just asking."
"But…but I could make sure you don't even feel it. Or I could make it feel really, really good." Andromeda smirked.
"Pedophile," Derek whispered.
"Shut up."
Stiles' mouth hung open and his eyes were wide with shock.
"What do you say, little wolf? Would you pretty pretty please let me have a little sip?" As Andromeda spoke she slowly made her way towards him from across the room.
"Okay," Stiles breathed.
"Leave him alone," growled Scott.
"No, it's okay Scott," assured Stiles. "You…" he coughs. "You said I wouldn't feel a thing right?"
"Aw, you don't want the pleasure?"
"No thanks."
"Well alright, 'numb' it is then," Andromeda sighs before she slips her hands to either side of the teen's head. Stiles watched her hands with confusion. "Don't look at my hands," says the vampire. "Look at my eyes." Stiles obeys. Slowly, Andromeda tilts Stiles' head and then moves her hand from his head to his shoulder. She moves her face down to his neck and then just as quick moves away again, her lips pursed and her brow crinkled in concentration.
"Are you gona do it or what?" asks Stiles nervously.
"It's already done," she replies.
"Seriously?" Stiles brushes his fingers over his neck and they come away bloodied.
"Hush now, I need to concentrate to make sure you're eatable."
"Well that's not something you hear every day."
"Speak for yourself," says Jackson.
"Shut up, both of you." Snaps Derek, his eyes intently watching Andromeda. Everyone followed his lead and watched.
After a time, Andromeda finally says, "Well it's a little toxic, but it should be safe for a quick fix because of the wolf in there."
"Good, then eat him." Derek states. Everyone but the vampire glares at him.
"Would you be willing to give a little more, Little Wolf?" she asks.
"Yeah sure, why not."
"Awesome!" Andromeda smiles and then she lightly touches his chin and he tilts his head for her. She moves her face to his neck again, but this time she takes a little longer. Enough time for Stiles to realize that Andromeda was close enough for him to feel the warmth coming off her body. But aren't vampires supposed to be cold. Andromeda moves away with her hand covering her mouth.
"Hey, now that we're do familiar and everything…" Stiles gestures to his neck. "Do you mind if I call you Andy? Your name is kinda' long."
"Andy? Isn't that a boy's name?"
"Yeah, never mind its stu…"
"I like it!" she interrupts.
"Cool."
"Can I call you Andy?" asks Derek.
"No. You know we probably shouldn't stay here, there are most likely hunter reinforcements on their way as we speak."
Derek threw a cloth to Stiles as Scott asks, "Where should we go?"
"I've got a place we can go to," Andy answers.
"Okay, let's go," Derek says before he goes out the door.
"What about clothes?" asks Scott.
"I'll get something for you later, now come on."
They all made it down stairs and into cars with Andy alone in her own car, leading the rest.
xXx
Andromeda's place was at the end of a winding, overgrown pathway that no one thought their cars could get through, especially Jackson with his Porsche. But made it they did to a little cabin hidden amongst the trees. It had stone around the bottom half, dark rich wood on the top, and ivy vines growing up all over it. It looked very… cozy.
Everyone got out of their cars and the teens looked very surprised.
"What?" asks Andy. "Expecting a mansion?"
"Kinda," Stiles answers.
"Yeah? Well I don't sparkle either. People notice mansions, but no one thinks twice about another cabin it the woods.
"How come it's not rotted?" asks Derek.
"I've got some humans to clean it up every now and then. Well, don't just stand there staring, let's go inside."
'Inside' was dark and smelled musty, and the sheets covering the furniture were all covered in dust.
"Let's get some air flow in here," Andy says as she lifts open a window, pushes open the wooden shutters and latches them in place. Derek, Stiles and Jackson start opening the rest as Scott and Alison start taking of all the sheets. With more light in the house, everyone could see that the inside matched the outside, cozy. The furniture was all wood except for the cushions on the couches, and there was a stone fire place. The kitchen counter was an "L" shaped stone slab. The front part of the house had the sofas and couch all situated in front of the fireplace. The back held the kitchen. To the right of the front door was a wall with two doors. After the windows were all open, Andromeda turns and says, "Okay, so I've only got two beds so we'll have to share and someone might have to sleep on the couch…"
"I'll take the couch," interrupts Derek
"Fine. My room is that first door there…" she points to the door closet to the front door. "The bathroom is between the two rooms and you can get in from both sides. I'll go into town in a bit and get gas for the generator but until then there are candles and matches in the cupboard. Oh! I suppose I'll have to get food too."
"That's nice and all… but now what?" asks Derek.
"Yeah, we can't just stay here," adds Jackson.
"What about school?" said Scott.
"Forget school, what about our parents!" Stiles said.
"Shut up, all of you!" Andromeda yelled. "For the foreseeable future, you have all been kidnapped! Except for you…" she points at Alison. "You're going home."
"What!" exclaimed the girl.
"You heard me. I'm not giving your family any more reason to track us down. And as for the rest of you, it's like this: stay here and live, or leave and die, or be tortured in Pretty boy Jackson's case. So… what's it gona be?" Andromeda's question was meet by silence.
"I can just go to Peter. " Derek said after a while. "I'll be safe with him, we're stronger together."
"Could you please just give me a few hours before you go running off to him, something doesn't feel right with that whole deal." Andromeda pleaded.
"Fine, but only a few hours."
"Thank you." Andy glances at Alison and then says as she heads for the door, "Ok huntress, lets go."
Alison hugs Scott tightly and says, "I'll see you soon." And then she follows after the vampire.
After they leave, Jackson says, "Well since we have some time, does someone what to fill me in on all that's happened?" he looks around the room.
Scott is the one who finally answers when he says, "Have a seat, this may take a while."
xXx
Andromeda and Alison pull up to the school just as the kids start pouring out the doors and into their respective cars and busses. Andromeda turns in her seat to face the girl. "Alison," she says. Alison jerks her head to look at the vampire, surprised she had said her name. Andromeda stares into Alison's eyes long enough to make the girl uncomfortable.
"What?" Alison asks
"Do you truly love that kid?"
"Yes."
Andromeda smiles, "Good. That's all I needed to know. Have fun explaining this to your parents." She says as she points at something behind Alison.
Alison turns and sees her father on his way to them. Alison then found herself shoved out of the car and onto the pavement. She watched as Andromeda drove crazily away, leaving her all alone to face her father.
