The Finale
(Previously)
The usually quite house was now a battlefield with a hail of bullets were flying at Derek, Scott, and Jackson. Jackson ran out the back running from the bullets and the man that just tried to kill him. Scott got hit with a bullet and was being covered by Derek "you need to get out of here now"! Scott tried saying no but was stop by Derek who forced him out making him run away "ok let's do this" Derek stepped out roaring out ready to fight the hunters! Scott ran through the forest trying not to pass out from the Wolfsbane but quickly passing out under a tree seeing a shadowy visage come to help him.
Zach just got into town parked in front of his house jumping out of the car seeing his door broken open. He ran into the house seeing the door in splinters "UNCLE WHERE ARE YOU"! He looked around the place seeing it was thrashed "what the fuck happened"? As he looked around a familiar face came around the corner "well it's obvious I took him in preparations when you came back". Zach looked back seeing Peter "… well your face is much better I will admit … where is he"? Peter smiled "don't worry he is safe somewhere … I won't harm him if you do something for me". Zach growled changing his eyes "and what would that be"? Peter dragged his clam over the wall "I need you to cripple that friend Scott of yours". Zach growled "tell me where he is right now or I swear to god I'll kill you".
Peter frowned "so I'll take that as a no … I won't say that I'm surprised … I hope he is alright next time you see him". Zach roared out jumping forward intent on taking his head off "I'LL KILL YOU"! Peter shifted making his eyes go bloody catching Zach out of the air and slamming him into the wall "don't think I will go easy on you … I'll see you around". Zach bit at him making Peter laugh as he threw him through a support beam into the fridge denting it. Peter walked out looking back at "I heard you turned into a white wolf … you're a special one".
Zach let out a breathe "dammit … DAMN IT DAMN IT DAMN IT … I couldn't even touch him … how … Sasha didn't even try she just wanted to see me angry … DAMN IT"! Tears streamed down his face "he just started trying to be good". He heard a car park out front making Zach feel fear fill his chest as someone ran in the house kicking around broken wood. Zach tried staying quite until the mystery person came around the corner "STILES"! Stiles looked over to him running to him "Zach your back in town where have you been are you alright what happened here"?! Zach grabbed his shoulder "calm down … I'll tell you about it later … Peter took my Uncle … he wanted me to cripple Scott and I told him no". Stiles nodded "… dude I'm so sorry … how about we go to my place and I catch you up on everything"? Zach nodded holding back the tears of joy he felt as Stiles helped him 'I really thought something bad happened to them'.
(Now)
Zach woke up to Stile's dad shaking him awake "Zach wake up". Zach looked up at him "what's happening"? Stilinski sighed "we went by your house last night … your Uncle's missing". Zach went rigid remembering the night before "what do you mean he's missing"? Stilinski frowned "don't worry we're looking for him right now so I need you to try going to school and stay calm … knowing him he just got angry when you left without telling him". Zach inwardly grimaced but nodded "yeah your probably right … I gotta get to school … can I get a lift"? Stilinski nodded with a smile walking out letting Zach change. Zach got into some regular black jeans and a t-shirt "… yeah he just left the placed trashed … and with a broken door". He walked out getting in the car staying quite for the whole ride.
(At School)
Zach got out of the car waving bye to Stilinski "see you later Sherriff" he watched as the car drove off. Zach turned around walking into the school heading for the locker room before a hand stopped him. "Zach where the hell have you been" Zach looked back seeing Chad with an angry expression. Zach looked around guiding Chad into a corner "it's a very long story but I'll give you the small version". Chad nodded as Zach quickly told him the events of the week making him gasp "dude … an original … that is super rare". Zach nodded "don't tell the others … Scott and Stiles might take it as another thing to worry about". Chad nodded walking with him to the locker room "I won't say a word dude … I'm just glad you're ok … physically". Zach nodded going into the locker room "I need one more favor". Chad nodded listening to Zach intently "I need you to try finding my uncle's scent … Peter doesn't know too much about you so please try finding him". Chad nodded immediately "of course dude I'll go now … but you gotta promise me that if something goes down you'll call me to help". Zach nodded as Chad left for Zach's house in search for his uncle 'I'm glad he didn't freak out again'.
He came around the corner seeing Scott talking with Jackson "hey guys what's up"? Scott looked over "ZACH" he ran over pulling him into a hug "I'm so glad you're ok". Zach hugged him back "I assume Stiles told you everything so no need to catch each other up". Scott nodded "we're still talking about what happened but right now we need someone to watch over Allison at the dance and Jackson is being … Jackson". As his name was called Jackson sighed "look I don't need you idiots I'm leaving". As he walked by Zach grabbed his arm "look here you're going to that dance … we need all the help we can get". Jackson gulped seeing Zach's eyes shine "fine but I'm not taking Allison … I'm not becoming a target for you ass hats". Zach nodded "that's fine I'll take her but you better show up or I'm gonna find you". Jackson nodded walking out letting them all turn back to each other all saying the same thing "asshole".
Scott looked over at Zach "you're gonna take her … as a friend right"? Zach chuckled "of course dude … I assume your gonna find a way to come". Scott nodded "Stiles' and I are working on that … you go see about going with Allison". Zach nodded walking out seeing Allison at her locker "Allison hey". Allison turned around seeing Zach "ZACH oh my god your back "she ran over hugging him. Zach smiled hugging her taking in her scent "yeah I'm back … I got a question". Allison stepped back smiling at him pushing her hair behind her ear "what is it"? Zach smiled "will you Allison Argent will you do the pleasure of going to the dance with me"? Scott looked around the corner with Stiles listening in on the conversation as Allison answered "… of course I'd love to". Zach smiled "of friends of course". Allison giggled into her hand nodding "yeah of course I'd still love to go".
Zach grinned "I'll pick you up tonight at your house in my truck". Allison's face turned into a confused one "I thought you rode a bike … not to be rude"? Zach chuckled holding up the keys "I got a truck so I'd like to be the good date and pick you up". Allison nodded waving at him as she walked away "I'll see you tonight then". Zach nodded walking away giving a thumbs up to Scott and Stiles. They both nodded and walked off to do their part of the small plan they had to keep everyone safe "let's go".
(After School)
Zach walked out of the school seeing Chad waiting for him "hey did you find anything on my uncle"? Chad gave a slow nod "yeah but it's not somewhere we wanna be … you should see". Zach nodded walking with him as he guided him "where are we going then"? Chad looked back with a frown "Derek's place … Peter gave him over to the hunters … they know you're a werewolf". Zach stopped in his tracks "… what … why would they keep him then … he's human". Chad crouched down moving a bush out of the way "they wanna know where you are … and the worst part is … its Allison's dad". Zach looked through the bush seeing Argent talking with his uncle who was tied to a chair "how did Peter even do this"? Chad shrugged "he probably just made some call or note … or he lied and they had your uncle the whole time". Zach stayed silent "well this is gonna be awkward when I pick up Allison for the dance". Chad laughed "yeah probably … be on the lookout for any Wolfsbane". Zach nodded "well then let's go suit shopping … gotta look nice for the final night".
Chad left to get his own suit for the dance as Zach went home opening a box seeing his dad's suit "might as well wear this". He looked at himself in the mirror combing his hair and washing his face. He walked out being stopped by a cold piece of steel being pressed to his neck "you picked the wrong night to fuck with me". A female giggle sounded out "oh Zach come on we've had some good times … we know Scott is a beta as well". Zach looked straight forward as his eyes shined bright "like I said this was the wrong night to do this Kate". Kate pushed the gun against his neck more "oh I think this is great night". Zach spun on his heel grabbing the gun out of her hand not expecting a needle to be stabbed into his neck "sorry Zach you won't be seeing Allison again". Zach felt the Wolfsbane spread throughout him "sorry I've come into some good traits from my family" he broke the gun in his hand and grabbing her by her jacket. Kate gave him a crazed look "how are you still standing that was a lot of Wolfsbane"?
Zach gave a dark chuckle "that weak shit has no effect on me anymore … I'm an original". Before Kate could do anything Zach pushed her head against the wall knocking her out and then dropping her on the floor. Zach walked out brushing himself off "time to go meet the parents … again" he hopped into the beat up truck and drove off. He drove to Allison's readying himself for the possibility of a fight. He parked the car and walked up to the door with a thing of roses knocking on the door "god this is crazy". The door opened to both Argents giving him an angry look "I guess we don't have to find you". Zach could feel the rage "I'm here to pick up Allison is she here … don't wanna make a scene right". Argent forced a smile moving out of the way "of course come in" Allison was at the top of the stairs. Zach went quite looking up at her "… oh my god you're … beautiful".
Allison blushed looking away "stop it … you look great as well … you clean up real nice". She walked down the stairs giving him a kiss on the cheek "are the flowers for me or are you gonna keep staring"? Zach shook his head "oh yeah these are for you" he handed them to her smiling as she smelled them and then handed them to her mom. She linked arms with him "well then let's go then". As they went to walk out Argent grabbed Zach's arm and whispered into his ear "if you do anything to hurt her I'll kill you". Zach smiled nodding "likewise about my uncle … don't think I don't know what you have been up to". Allison pulled him out "come on I wanna go already". Zach smiled walking out with her opening the car door for her "milady". Allison did a fake curtsy stepping in "thank you sir".
(The Dance)
Zach parked the truck and quickly got out running around the vehicle opening the door for Allison. Allison blushed stepping out of the car linking arms with Zach "… hey Zach do you think Scott will be here"? Zach had a split second frown but quickly put on a fake smile "I know he's not supposed to be here … but I don't think that's gonna stop him by any means". Allison smiled hugging his arm closer looking up on the roof seeing a shadow moving around "I think you're right". Both of them started walking to the front doors only to be stopped by Stiles and Lydia who were also linked. Zach looked at them "man you two look great together … Stiles you clean up nicely". Stiles smiled giving him a quick hug "thanks dude you look great to I would hate to be the competition". Both girls talked with erachother as they walked into the dance giving their tickets to the booth to the desk out front.
Zach and Allison were both on the dance floor shimmying and shaking making Stiles groan as Lydia just sat there. After a couple songs Zach went off to get some punch for the two of them seeing Scott hiding up in the bleachers. As he stood at the table a friendly voice appeared behind him "hey man you look great". Zach turned around seeing Chad in a nice grey suit with his usually unkempt mane tied up into a ponytail and freshly washed "me … look at you". They both gave a quick high five getting some punch making small talk before a ringing caught both their ears. Zach looked around "you hear that … it's high-pitched … like a whistle". Chad nodded seeing a man by the side exit "guy next to the exit is making the racket". Zach looked over seeing the guy walk out the building "I think we have a problem".
Both of them followed the man out the door following his scent to a pair of black SUV's making both of them stop in their tracks. Zach looked around seeing no other signs of people "WHO ARE YOU"! After a few seconds Kate and Argent stepped out of the car "hello boys were just here to negotiate some terms with you". Zach sniffed the air smelling a familiar scent "what do you mean"? Kate chuckled rolling down the window to show Zach's uncle with bruising all over his face "we want you to come with us and we'll let him go". Zach went from on edge to furious "YOU WOULD THREATEN ME WITH HIS LIFE"! Kate nodded not caring for the two boys shifting "I don't know why you care so much … didn't he used to beat you"?
Zach growled stepping further only to stop as a pistol was pressed to his uncle's head "that's the past … he's the only family I have". Kate made a fake awe "that's sweet kid but you know the deal get on the ground and let our guys muzzle you". All the noise made Zach's uncle look up seeing what was happening "ZACH DON'T DO IT I…" he was stopped by a swift pistol whip. Zach went cold jumping forward with a roar that shook the floor making Argent fire a shotgun blast into his chest. Chad growled completely changing "YOU'RE DEAD" he tore a door off a car and threw it at the two. Both quickly jumped out of the way dodging the car door "KATE GET THE OLD GUY OUT OF HERE"! Kate nodded jumping into the car and peeling out of the school parking lot as Chad ran by picking Zach up and running into the woods. A few guys went to chase them but got quickly stopped by Argent "NO… we have another teen to get".
Chad ran with Zach on his back not expecting him to roar out making them both stumble on fall down a hill. As they both came to a stop Chad looked up at Zach who was already up and roaring "I'LL TEAR THEM IN HALF"! Zach's body grew larger and his hair grew longer and slowly turned white "Zach calm down we're not gonna do anything If your angry". Zach looked down making Chad fall back as his eyes were blinding with his face as animalistic as any wolf. Zach kept staring falling back to his normal form but retained the lighter colored hair "I'm sorry … I'm angry". Chad nodded standing up patting him on the back "we're gonna get him back we just have to find everyone and make sure their ok". Zach nodded as he started walking through the forest "let's go back to the school".
Chad nodded as they walked back to the school in their torn up suits "what if their still there"? Zach shrugged sniffing the air "they're not here … but I smell someone familiar". Chad smelt the air as well "… that smells like the alpha … but it's off". Zach grew angry realizing Peter was just here "he was here … the field" he bolted off following the scent. They came across Jackson holding up Lydia in his arms "HELP"! Zach ran over looking over Lydia "CHAD CALL THE COPS"! Chad quickly got his phone out dialing 911 "we have a hurt girl at Beacon Hills High come quick". They all ran to the front of the school getting the attention of everyone making them all come help Jackson. Zach quickly turned to Jackson "where's Stiles and Scott what happened"? Jackson looked over freaked out not able to say anything "…. I don't know".
Zach sighed walking away "we have to find Scott … I thing Argent went after him after us". Chad nodded "I'll follow Stile's scent and you find Scott … hopefully we're not too late". Zach ran off finding Scott's scent and following it through the woods.
As he ran after the scent he stopped dropping to the ground with a terrible ache in his skull "AHH WHAT THE HELL"! He looked around not seeing anything until he fell to his side still screaming "what's happening"? He looked up seeing a blinking light in a tree "oh … shit" the blinking light exploded into a flashbang making him cover his eyes grunting in pain. As he rolled around in pain an arrow lodged itself into his back. He roared out in pain getting up and looking around in a haze "WHERE ARE YOU … who are you"? As he stumbled forward another arrow striked his knee going right through it making him fall to his good knee. He quickly devised a plan using his good leg to jump forward towards a hill overlooking the Hale house "just gotta get these arrows out".
As he was jumping and crawling to the hill a final arrow got him directly in his spine making him roar out in pain making him drop down on his stomach. Out of the shadows came Kate making Zach growl "of course it was you". Kate chuckled "oh I'm not alone in this little attack … sorry for this kid". Behind her Allison stepped out in jeans a white shirt and a jacket with her bow at her side.
"Allison"?!
Allison didn't meet eye contact as Kate walked over kneeling next to him "sorry kid but she is a little heart broken right now". Zach looked up at her with sad eyes as Kate stood up and placed her heel at his stomach. "Sorry but we have some other wolves to round up" as she finished she pushed him off the hill making him roll down it with multiple cracks and thuds. He landed with a thud going motionless on the ground. Both the girls left him going to the other side of the house hearing Scott and Derek make their way out of the hidden tunnels.
Zach felt stings of pain all over his body as he healed the broken and bruised bones 'fuck that hurt'. He lifted his arm back pulling the arrow from his spine out ripping some of his skin off 'ok next is the knee'. He continued pulling the arrows out as he heard his friends get the same welcoming from the two Argents "gotta hurry". He pulled all the arrows out and groggily stood up limping to the front of the house.
"Stop lying for once just stop lying" he could here Allison talking to Scott after shooting them. As he came from the side of the house Kate looked up shooting Derek in the chest putting him down on the ground. Allison jumped looking over "what are you doing I thought were just capturing them"? Kate chuckled lifting the gun up firing it into Zach's chest making him fall onto the deck "we captured them now we kill them". Kate went to shoot Scott but was stopped by a gunshot making everyone turn their attention to Argent who had his gun trained on Kate. "Kate stop this now … or I will make you". Kate looked at him with a cocky grin "you gonna kill me … what happens after that … that kid is gonna kill you for hurting his uncle"? Zach propped himself up seeing everyone looking between the Argents.
Chris sighed snapping his fingers "I brought his uncle and have every intention of letting him go … no one needs to die tonight". Behind a tree Zach's uncle stumbled out looking over at Zach and running over to him "you ok Kid"? Zach lurched forward hugging his uncle close to him with tears welling up to his eyes "I thought you were dead Uncle …. You being here makes everything fine". As the emotional session played out the door to the house creaked open catching everyone's attention making Chris look over at Allison "Allison get back". Everyone stood up backing up from the house "WHAT IS IT"?! Zach pushed his uncle behind him as Scott looked up with his golden eyes "it's the Alpha".
Everyone could see a streak run by them throwing Chris off to the side knocking him clean out. They all panicked as Allison was thrown to the side along with Scott both getting the wind knocked out of them. Zach growled shifting making his eyes light up along with his face becoming a menacing one "COME ON"! His uncle was thrown back into Kate as Zach got lifted up by his throat. Zach looked down seeing Peter in all his red eyed glory smiling up at him "you are one weird wolf my boy". Zach bit at him as he felt his neck cracking with each second until he was forced back into being human. "Sorry to tell you … I don't need you in my pack my boy … I'll make sure to give you a quick death". Before he could do anything 3 shots rang out through the night making Peter drop Zach looking back to see Zach's uncle with Kate's gun.
Kate was already up backing away as Peter ran up giving Zach's uncle a slash across his chest "AND I WAS GONNA LET YOU LIVE"! The older man flew a few feet away landing with a heart breaking thud. Zach's world fell apart running over to him dropping next to him hearing him breath in shallow breaths "NO NO NO NO don't go please"! Peter dragged Kate into the house along with Allison following behind as the hurt old man coughed up some blood. "It's ok Zach … I was never a good man to you … I didn't deserve to have such a great Nephew". Zach had tears streaming down his face hugging him close "stop don't say that … you and I just started getting back to normal PLEASE"! More blood splattered onto Zach's face as the old man coughed "I know … but you have to help your friends … protect them … be better than me please".
Zach nodded quickly rocking him with tears falling onto his face "I will… don't leave me alone … I can't be alone". His uncle placed his hand on his face stroking his cheek "you're not alone … these friends you have made … they are your real family … go protect them … I love you". With that final word his hand fell dead leaving a bloody handprint on his face making everything go numb. As he stayed still building anger Scott was thrown through the window being followed by the Alpha "ZACH HELP ME"! Zach slowly laid his uncle down closing his eyes as he stood up with a pressure building inside of him.
He looked back with his eyes dark as the night making him look demonic "I'LL KILL YOU"! His skin stretched breaking of him as he grew as big as the alpha himself "TEAR YOU LIMB FROM LIMB"! His claws grew out as he grabbed his skin tearing it off showing blinding white fur. He kept tearing more and more falling to his knees curled up as he cracked and contorted to a massive white wolf with dark black eyes as big as the Alpha. Everyone looked on in fascination at the terrifying yet elegant beast not expecting a roar that shook the forest to its very core making them all fall back covering their ears.
Zach jetted forward as did the Alpha clashing like two rabid dogs fighting biting and slashing at each other. Zach fell back and jumped up latching his massive teeth around Peter's neck lifting him up and slamming him down. A Porsche skidded to a halt with Jackson, Stiles, and Chad jumping out of it seeing the two beasts fight "who is who"! Scott looked over seeing them "THE WHITE ONE IS ZACH"! All three of them went quite looking around seeing if anything else was crazy. Stiles' eyes landed on the lifeless corpse of his Zach's uncle "oh god … no wonder he went crazy".
Zach was losing ground as he raged slashing blindly in the air letting Peter give a decisive blow at his gut making him fall to his knees. Stiles quickly threw the vial in his hand making it break on the Alphas back setting him ablaze. Peter fell back as another vial hit him making the blaze larger sending him back into the deck roaring in pain. The massive beast tried walking over to Allison but was kicked back by Scott. Derek came out walking over to Peter and in a fit of anger slashing at his throat killing him making Scott scream at him "WHAT DID YOU DO"! Derek turned back with red eyes and a menacing stare "I'm the Alpha now".
Everyone went quite as Zach went back to normal stumbling over to his uncle's body. Everyone watched him pick him up with a strong face trying not to cry as he walked away from everyone. Chad went to run after him but was stopped by Stiles' "no let him go". Allison covered her mouth as Scott walked over to comfort her "do you think he'll be alright"? Scott held her close "I don't know … this is something he wasn't ready for".
(Days later at in the cemetery)
Zach was silent standing in front of many of his friends and classmates even Coach Finstock. "My uncle died … protecting me from a monster … he died in my eyes as a hero". Even Jackson was there supporting him along with all his friends. Some were crying for their friend and fellow student as they could clearly see he was struggling to finish a single word. Zach was gripping some dirt as he spoke seeing Derek off in the distance "he was an asshole, abusive, and a lousy drunk … but these last few months he was the best parent I ever had … I … I want him back". HE fell to his knees with tears streaming to his face as Melissa ran up hugging him to comfort him "shh it's ok". Everyone was heartbroken seeing the usually upbeat boy broken down in front of him. Zach looked around as Chad tried giving him a smile "thank you all … for coming … after today I probably won't be seeing a lot of you for a while". He dropped some dirt onto the casket along with a steady stream of tears.
Later everyone was leaving one by one leaving Scott, Stiles, and Zach who asked Chad to leave to get some stuff from his house. Zach was sitting down looking at the gravestone with red eyes "I can't believe you're gone". Scott sat next to him along with Stiles who both wrapped their arms around him to comfort him. Scott looked over at him "where are you gonna go after this"? Zach shrugged "there is person who knew my parents real well up in Virginia who says I can come stay with him and finish this year of school". Stiles sighed "what about after that …are you ever gonna come back"? Zach quickly nodded "… I could never leave you guys … but I just need some time from here … we'll figure out a living situation when I come back". They all nodded hugging making Zach smile "I know I said I was alone … but I got two brothers right here". They all smiled standing up walking away from the grave "so where in Virginia are you going"?
Zach saw Chad pull up in his truck "weird place called Mystic Falls … weird name in my opinion". They both nodded as Chad got out holding a couple back packs "is Chad coming with you"? Zach nodded "yeah I got him a spare room with me … he doesn't really have anywhere to go either". All three stopped looking at each other "I guess I'll see you guys … later". The three friends shared one more hug as he got in the driver's seat "tell everyone I said bye … and that I'm sorry I couldn't see them again". Scott nodded as the truck drove off leaving a trail of dust "I'm gonna miss him Stiles". Stiles nodded "he'll be ok … it'll be good to get away from all this supernatural shit for a while in that Mystic Falls". They both hopped in his jeep driving the opposite way of Zach and Chad each waving at the other.
(END OF SEASON 1)
(Yes that's the end of season 1 and for those of you who got the Mystic Falls reference it's Vampire Diaries. Zach will be doing some stuff with them but next chapter will probably have nothing about it. Most of the VD stuff will be in flashbacks and special chapters for those of you who care. Also yes I am skipping season 2 because personally I dislike season 2 so it will start at the beginning of season 3. If you have any questions feel free to PM me or just quietly rage to yourself.)
