Skye's POV

I don't know how long I was unconscious for but suddenly felt someone's hand gently start shaking me trying to get me to wake up by calling my name out but it felt like I was trapped in my head.

"Skye…come on Skyler you need to wake up, we don't have a lot of time" I suddenly snapped out of whatever I was trapped in and jolted awake but hands on my shoulders stopped me. "It's okay Skye, it's just me" Deaton said, I sat up and looked at the giant hole in the floor.

"Oh my god that really happened!"

"Yes, it did" Deaton told me before moving away towards Derek, I followed and quickly moved Derek's head to rest in my lap.

"Derek" I whispered. "Derek you need to get up…hey Derek!" I tapped his cheek hoping he'd wake up but he made no movements and if it I couldn't hear his steady heartbeat I would have been worried he was dead.

"Let me try something, cover your ears" I looked at Deaton confused but did as he asked and watched him blow a small whistle that still made me cringe but I faintly heard Derek gasp through the ringing in my ears, he looked up at me as I uncovered my ears before he sat up.

"That sound…what was it?" Derek asked and in reply Deaton smiled and held up the dog whistle, Derek scoffed then started standing up but he nearly toppled over so Deaton quickly stepped forward and steadied him before he could collapse.

"You two are going to be weak for several hours" Derek pulled me up and grabbed my arm turning it over to stare down at the dried blood on my arm with anger then looked at his own.

"That actually happened" he said staring at the hole.

"Don't worry, you're still an Alpha but as usual not a particularly competent one" Deaton replied putting the whistle around his neck.

"Where is he?" Derek asked angrily.

"I wish I could tell you"

"Then how about you tell me what you're doing here and why you're helping me" Derek exclaimed stepping forward.

"Derek" I warned touching his arm and pulled him back a little since these two didn't have the best track record together.

"Helping your family actually used to be a pretty important part of my life, helping you was a promise I made to your mother and because anyone who has this young lady as a mate is worth helping in my book" I smiled at him, happy he thought highly of me but had no idea how he knew that Derek and I were mates.

"You know about us?" I asked him, Deaton nodded smiling.

"You're the one my sister talked about, she said you're a kind of advisor" Derek cut in unsure.

"She was right and I have some advice that you need to listen to very closely right now, what Peter managed to do doesn't come without a price he'll be physically weak so he'll rely on the strength of his intelligence, his cunning, he's going to come at you Derek he'll try to twist his way inside your head preying on your insecurities, he'll tell you he's the only way you can stop Gerard, do not trust him"

"I only trust one person" Derek replied with a smug smile as he put his arm around my waist making me smile.

"I know, if you trusted more you might be the Alpha you like to think you are and unfortunately the other person you should trust, doesn't trust you at all"

"Scott" I replied looking up at Derek when he looked confused.

"He's with Stilinski right now you need to find him, you need to find him as fast as you can, I've known Gerard for a long time he always has a plan and something tells me…it's going exactly the way he wants it to" Deaton replied then looked at the hole.

Derek and I were dropped off at the train warehouse by Deaton and after checking to make sure the others were okay, I got changed in the clothes I had packed last night then we set out to find Scott and Stiles but neither of them were picking up my calls.

"They're not answering" I said as Derek and I headed up the stairs to his Camaro.

"Then it's time I teach you how to track" I looked up nervously.

"Track?" he nodded. "But…but we don't have anything of theirs and I don't exactly have a photographic nose that remembers their scents" he smiled.

"Just get in the car Skye we'll stop by Scott's house" I nodded then got in the car.

"What if I can't track?" I was nervous especially since knowing my luck I would lead us somewhere completely in the wrong direction.

"I'm going to teach you" he replied then grabbed my hand "First things first, you need to calm down and trust your instincts" I sighed then nodded.

He pulled up at Scott's house then disappeared through a window after jumping to the second floor while I kept watch, he then dropped down beside me after a few minutes and held out one of Scott's shirts for me to take.

"Is there a reason you can't track them?" I asked crossing my arms across my chest because I really didn't want to be responsible for leading us on a wild goose chase.

"No time like the present to learn Skye" I sighed then took the shirt. "Okay breathe it in then focus on the different smells, most are tied to identity while others will give off an emotion...focus on the scents tied to identity" I closed my eyes and thought about the different smells, cedar wood, almonds…Scott, I opened my eyes when I finally seemed to pick up Scott's scent.

"I think I got it" he smiled.

"Good lets go" he grabbed my hand then walked back to his Camaro and started driving as I angled my head out the window so that I could track.

"Take the next left" he followed my instructions as I gave them. "Okay stop" he pulled up and I looked up when I realised where we were. "The sheriff station, why would they be here at two in the morning" I got out closely followed by Derek as we walked in, I reached for the door into the back right as it opened revealing Scott, Stiles and Matt who was holding a gun at them.

"Oh thank God" Scott said when he saw me.

"What the hell is going on?" I asked as I stepped forward but let out a shriek when Derek fell to the floor next to me. "Derek!" I immediately went to go to his side but Matt cocked the gun and pointed it at me stopping me.

"I wouldn't do that Skyler unless you want your mate to leave here in a body bag" I growled baring my fangs at Matt as he walked over to Derek and crouched down a bit.

"This is the one controlling him?" Derek asked obviously completely paralysed again since I saw Jackson in the doorway we'd just came through. "This kid?"

"Well Derek not everyone's lucky enough to be a big, bad werewolf" my eyes widened. "Oh yeah that's…that's right I've learned a few things lately, Werewolves, Hunters, Kanimas it's like a fricking Halloween party every full moon except for you Stiles what do you turn into" I looked up at Matt as I had no idea how he would have known that.

"Abominable snowman but uh it's more of like a wintertime thing, you know seasonal" Stiles replied sarcastically but then Matt nodded his head towards Jackson and Jackson scratched Stiles.

"Hey!" Scott yelled ready to catch him but Jackson stopped him.

"You bitch" Stiles mumbled as he fell to the ground on top of Derek.

"Get him off of me" Derek groaned.

"Oh I don't know Derek" Matt said smiling. "I think you two make a pretty good" I growled and Matt smirked up at me before looking back down at Derek "But it must kinda suck though to have all that power taken away from you with just a little cut to the back of the neck I bet you're not used to feeling this helpless"

"Still got some teeth why don't you get down here a little closer, huh we'll see how helpless I am" I growled my approval desperately trying not to shift since it was still the full moon and with the anger it was becoming very difficult not to.

"Yeah, bitch" Stiles groaned as two headlights appeared in the window and a car stopped outside.

"Is that her?" Matt asked looking at Scott, I looked up at Scott in confusion. "Do what I tell you to and I won't hurt her I won't even let Jackson near her"

"Scott don't trust him!" Stiles interrupted, Matt sighed then grabbed Stiles and threw him on his back before stepping on his throat, I growled and bared my fangs again stepping forwards towards Matt but he just smirked clearly undeterred that I was so close to losing my humanity.

"This work better for ya?"

"Okay, just stop!" Scott exclaimed. "Stop!"

"Then do what I tell you to"

"Okay all right, stop!" Matt took his foot off Stiles then turned to Jackson. "You take 'em in there" he looked at Scott and me. "You with me" Matt led Scott out to the front as Jackson pushed me backwards.

"Jackson snap out of it" I exclaimed but then a gunshot cut me off "Scott!" I yelled rushing towards the door, Jackson was quick to grab me and pull me back making me fall backwards but I immediately stood back up and growled ready to start fighting with Jackson but then I heard a voice that blocked out everything else and made the anger dissipate since it was my dad's voice.

"Scott, Stiles…" the sheriff had yelled when the gun went off but my dad followed up.

"What happened?" I growled turning back to Jackson.

"Matt?" the Sheriff yelled. "Matt, listen to me-" I heard the Sheriff yell out again then Matt finally came back.

"You with me" he pointed the gun towards me again as I watched Scott hobble in with a bullet wound in his stomach and with his mom behind him cowering. "Now or I shoot him" he turned the gun to point at Derek but I stepped in front of it.

"Okay" I agreed then followed Scott and his mom to the back where the Sheriff and my dad was handcuffed to the wall, I looked at my father who's eyes widened when he saw me as Matt locked Scott's mom in a cell, I was standing next to Scott to make sure he didn't topple over since without getting the bullet out I knew he wasn't healing.

"Please, he needs to see a doctor" his mom cried as Matt shut her in, Scott and I stood away from her as I steadied him against me.

"You think so?" Matt asked.

"Hey, hey, you listen to me!" the Sheriff started.

"It's all right I'm okay" Scott said cutting him off.

"No honey, you're not okay" his mom cried.

"It doesn't hurt, mom" Scott said, trying to keep her calm.

"Cause that's the adrenaline, okay please, let me…let me just take a look at him, okay I mean, I can help stop the bleeding"

"They have no idea, do they?" Matt asked, turning to Scott and me.

"Shut up Matt" I growled out quietly as I looked at my dad in the corner of my eyes, he already found out about me and Derek so there was no way I was about to let Matt tell him about the werewolf thing too.

"Please let me just take a quick look, I…" Melissa cut in crying holding onto the cell bars.

"Shut…shut…shut…shut up!" Matt yelled. "Lady, if you keep talking I'm gonna put the next bullet through his head!" I so wanted to growl but with my dad I couldn't risk it and it was taking everything in me to do so.

"Okay, okay" she cried.

"Back to the front" Matt said pointing the gun at me and Scott again, I sighed and helped Scott walk back out to the front then I set Scott down against the wall and quickly pulled up his shirt and looked at the wound.

"I'm gonna pull the bullet out okay" I told him then saw Scott nod.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath focusing on my claws and smiled when I felt them extend, I quickly opened my eyes then sliced open the wound which had slowly started healing over the bullet then dug through the wound before pulling out the bullet and dropped it to the ground stepping back since that was a lot more intense than I thought it was going to be.

"Thank you" Scott nodded at me before he turned to Matt. "The evidence is gone why don't you just go?"

"You…you think the evidence mattered that much, huh no, I…I want the book" Matt replied.

"What…what book?" Scott asked.

"The bestiary not just a few pages, I want the entire thing"

"We don't have it" I replied lying since we had copies on all of our computers but Matt didn't need to know that. "It's Gerard's, what do you want it for anyway?"

"I need answers" Matt replied shuffling around nervously.

"Answers to what?" Scott asked.

"To this" Matt said lifting his shirt up which revealed scales exactly like Jackson's all along his side "Give me your phone Skyler" Matt asked me so I quickly gave it up and watched as he scrolled down then quickly sent a text message, I snatched the phone out of his hands when he was done.

"What the hell did you do?!" I exclaimed feeling rage building up since I saw he had texted Allison telling her exactly where we were. "You have no idea what you just did, the hunters will kill everyone in here especially Jackson and Derek" I yelled barely holding onto my humanity.

"What is it about Derek that has you so infatuated with him?" Matt asked me as I growled at him feeling my face transform.

"You don't know anything about us Matt" I growled fighting the urge to maim and kill him. "Or me for that matter" I added which he just laughed at.

"Actually I know more about you than he would" he pointed back towards the room where Derek was. "Did you know that I've had the biggest crush on you since the beginning of sophomore year but you didn't even once give me the time of day, then…" he laughed. "Then Derek comes out of nowhere and takes you from me, I thought I'd moved onto Allison but no, no I still can't get you out of my head Skyler"

"News flash Matt I'm not yours to keep and what you're feeling isn't love, its obsession and frankly I think you should get some help because your insane" he smirked.

"Well then…" he raised the gun and shot, I jumped when I felt pain erupt in my chest and looked down shocked before back up at Matt as I collapsed back.

"Skye!" I heard Derek yell but was probably still powerless to do anything and swear I heard the three grownups in the back yell out our names again.

"That way no one can have you" Matt laughed as I held my hands hand over the wound as it stared bleeding heavily and my vision was starting to go very spotty but I could still see Matt smirking as he looked at me and Scott.

"You know, I…I feel sorry for you two, cause right now you're thinking how am I gonna explain this when it heals and the sad part is you don't even realize how incredible it is that you actually are healing because you know what happens to everyone else when they get shot, they die" I think I actually am dying since it was getting harder to breathe like Matt had clipped a lung.

"Is that what happened to you, you drowned didn't you?" Scott asked.

"He shouldn't have let them drink" Matt replied but was talking more to himself.

"What…who…Matt, what do you mean?" Scott asked him.

"Lahey, he shouldn't have let them drink"

"What, who was drinking?" Scott asked.

"The swim team you idiot!" Matt exclaimed "I didn't know what was happening I didn't know they had just won state and Lahey he's letting his favourites come over to have a couple drinks to celebrate who cares if they're seventeen, right?"

"Were you at Isaac's?" I asked moving to lean against the wall.

"He had this first edition Spiderman or was it Batman and we were gonna make a trade but then I'm over there and I hear music and everyone's having a good time and I see Sean he throws Jessica in the pool and then…and then Bennett goes in and.."

"Bennett what…the hunter?" Scott asked cutting Matt off.

"And then Camden Isaac's jarhead brother he grabs me, he thinks it's funny"

"They threw you in" I quietly said as I started trying to dig through my chest for the bullet.

"I…I yelled that I can't swim but nobody listens, I go under and I swallow water and no one cares and I see these bodies underwater, I…I see Jessica's got her hands down Sean's board shorts, Tucker's grabbing Kara and I'm drowning, I'm dying and they're laughing, all of a sudden I was just…I'm lying by the pool and Lahey is right there, right above me and he says…he says, "You tell no one this, this is your fault you don't know how to swim what little bastard doesn't know how to swim you say nothing you tell no one, no one" and I didn't, I didn't tell anyone and I would see them at school and they wouldn't even look at me, I'd wake up in the middle of the night I'd gasp for breath and my parents, they thought I was an asthmatic, they…they…they even gave me an inhaler, they didn't know that every time I closed my eyes, I was drowning" Matt paused.

"You know about that little white light that they talk about, you see when you die well I didn't see anything just darkness, everything was dark but then…then came the Argent's funeral and everything changed I was taking some photos and then, purely by accident Lahey gets in one of the photos I look down at the screen on my camera and I just had this unbelievable rage that fills up inside of me and I just…I look at him and I…I wanna see him dead and the next day he actually was, you know Einstein was right Imagination is more important than knowledge it was like something out of Greek mythology like…like the furies coming down to punish Orestes" Matt paused again turning to Scott. "You have no idea what I'm talking about, do you?" Matt asked.

"Was…was he the guy who stabbed out his eyes?" Scott hesitantly asked and I rolled my eyes as I finally managed to pull the bullet out and felt relief as I seemed to start healing because I could breathe properly again.

"That's Oedipus Scott" they both looked down at me with surprised eyes making me roll my eyes. "The furies are deities of vengeance their tears ran of blood and they had snakes for hair if there was a crime that had gone unpunished, the furies would do the punishing" Matt laughed at my reply

"Skyler actually has brains" I glared at him but he quickly turned to look at Jackson "Jackson is my fury, when I saw him the next night it was like this bond had been cemented between the two of us, I knew he had killed Lahey for me and I knew he would do it again so I went to Tucker's garage I even paid for an oil change and guess what he didn't even recognize me so when he wasn't looking, I took a shot of him from my camera and in a few hours he was dead so I took more pictures all I had to do was take their picture and Jackson would take their life"

I stood up shakily when he finished his serial killer rant but suddenly all the lights in the station turned off and the alarm began to blare loudly making me cover my eyes as the emergency lights turned on.

"What is this, what's happening, what's going on?" Matt yelled as I growled knowing exactly what it was.

"I don't know" Scott replied just as bullets started flying through the window but they ended shortly and just as we were about to get up a smoke grenade was thrown into the room, releasing smoke into the air but Scott stood and quickly grabbed me dragging me out of the room before he set me against a wall since I was still too weak to walk then he ran and slammed right into Jackson, knocking him to the ground.

"Where's Skye?" I heard Derek ask so I painfully stood and hobbled into the room still holding a hand over the wound as it was slowly starting to close up.

"I'm here I'm okay" he sighed in relief as he stood up.

"Take them and go!" Derek yelled to Scott.

"What are you doing?" I said grabbing his arm before he could leave.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine" Derek cupped my cheeks and kissed me chastely. "Just save yourself" he added before taking off.

"Derek no!" I screamed "Idiot!" did he not understand that those gunshots were the Argent's and he was running straight into they're trap.

Scott and I grabbed Stiles and held him up as we ran from Jackson but Scott kept pausing to close doors behind us which Jackson just broke down anyway as he followed but once we made it into an interview room we were safe so Scott and I sat Stiles down in a chair.

"Don't move" Scott and I said at the same time and Stiles looked at us.

"You know what we mean" Scott added as we ran out back into the hallway, each going a different way.

I ran through the station looking for Derek but I heard Scott's mom scream so had to pause my search for Derek and I ran towards the holding cells just in time to see Derek standing in the other doorway his face transformed growling at Jackson before he ran in and started fighting Jackson who was full blown Kanima now.

Derek grabbed the Kanima and threw him onto a metal table only to have Jackson shove him back onto the floor but Derek dove for him again grabbing a chair to push Jackson back but Jackson just grabbed the chair legs and pushed Derek onto the desk making him roll over behind it, I looked over at our parents and saw Mr Stilinski was out cold but Scott's mom and my dad was still very much conscious and watching all of this unfold.

"Skyler get back!" I heard my dad yell but I sighed knowing Derek needed help so I ran up towards Jackson but he kicked me to the ground and I hit my head on the wall.

I couldn't shift because of Mrs McCall and my dad watching but when I looked up I noticed they were both looking at Derek in shock and I realised that they must have seen Derek's face for sure and my eyes widened especially at my dad as his eyes drifted back and forth between me and Derek and knew there was no going back now.

I quickly got up when Jackson kicked Derek back again and felt the anger get the better of me triggering my shift so I quickly turned away from my father and ran at Jackson who had grabbed hold of the cell bars and was hissing at Scott's mom but Jackson kicked his legs at the Derek who had also tried to stop him and he fell against me making both of us go tumbling to the ground.

We sat there dazed for a minute until Scott finally made an appearance running in and stabbed his claws into Jackson's side and threw him off the cell and onto the floor then Jackson took off and Derek was quick to get up and follow him.

"Derek!" I yelled after him and started to follow since I had to warn him about the Argent's but stopped in the doorway when Scott's mom called to see if Scott was okay making me stupidly turn back to make sure he was okay...I saw his head was down but then I heard my dad gasp making my eyes drift up to meet his as I saw Scott turned his head up meeting his moms out of the corner of my eye.

"No!" I heard Scott's mom cry as she must have seen Scott still trapped in his werewolf face, her hands covered her mouth as Scott stood to go to her but she backed away far into the shadows of the cell, I saw Scott turn and looked to me in the corner of my vision but I felt the tears well up in my eyes as I stared at my dad who was now refusing to look at me.

"Daddy?" I took a step towards him but he flinched back making me stop just as Scott suddenly took off so I turned to leave as well but saw Stiles crawling towards the room. "Stiles!" I exclaimed and ran over picking him up and leant him against the wall. "I'm gonna go get help" he nodded

I ran away from the room feeling the tears roll down my cheeks and I went towards the front to find a phone but as I ran down the hallway a hand grabbed my arm I gasped and tried to scream but the hand quickly covered my mouth but when I looked up I saw Derek holding a finger to his lips as he pulled me down another hallway to hide just as I saw Gerard walk past us then stop so I snuggled closer to him and wrapped my arms around his neck as Derek and I held our breaths knowing we wouldn't be able to fight off Gerard.

"What are you doing here?" I suddenly heard Scott say making me look up at Derek with a confused look on my face "It wasn't supposed to happen like this" Derek and I locked eyes as we heard Gerard answer him.

"Trust me I'm aware of that" I covered my mouth to stop the gasp because I couldn't believe Scott was helping Gerard.

"I've done everything you've asked of me, I'm part of Derek's pack, I've given you all the information that you wanted, I told you Matt was controlling Jackson…"

"And leave him to us, help your friends, leave Matt and Jackson to me" Gerard replied "Deal with your mother, Go!" something metal clinked on the ground.

"You dropped this"

"Go" I had never felt more betrayed in my life and this was one of my best friends since kindergarten, I buried my face in Derek's neck as Scott ran past the two of us and Derek looked just as betrayed too especially since Deaton told him he could trust Scott but he couldn't have been more wrong.

"You have to get out of here" I whispered to him when I remembered that they were here for him.

"Hey it's okay" I sighed and hugged him close feeling fresh tears roll down my cheeks since I'd almost lost him again but knew I was going to protect him like he protects me even if that's against the Argent's and Allison or even Scott because he means everything to me.

When we were sure it was all clear we made a break for it to his Camaro and sped away from the Sheriff's station but I couldn't help breaking down in sobs as I remembered the look on my dad's face when he saw me and Derek immediately pulled over when he heard me sob.

"Skye what is it?"

"My dad was there and he saw me" I spat out.

"Saw what?"

"He saw me as a werewolf!" I exclaimed breaking down even more as I pulled my knees to my chest feeling like I had to hold myself together.

"Skye he'll-"

"Don't say he'll come around because you didn't see his face, he looked at me like I was a monster, he looked at me like I wasn't his daughter anymore" he pulled me to his chest and just let me cry and soak his shirt with my tears because really what could he say to make this any better, my dad was the one person I could always count on for everything but now I had finally made it so I was an orphan.
