Aiden said nothing as he stood with the pack, he didn't even know what to say or if anyone even cared to listen. Since joining Scott's pack Aiden at the same time felt good about trying to right the wrongs of his past, but hated he felt weak. As everyone left he stayed waiting for his brother.
"Aiden, right?" A voice said walking over towards him. As he turned his head slightly he saw that it was Dray. His first instance was to attack, but he knew after seeing what Dray did to Ethan that he didn't stand a chance.
"I thought I come back and introduce myself properly," Dray said extending his hand. He looked at him with absolute hate in his eyes.
"See, I expected a different reaction, maybe a little warmer one I did after all kill that bitch Dena, who wanted you, and your brothers heads on platters," Dray smiled.
"I didn't know you killed her, Scott didn't tell us," He finally spoke.
"Now Aiden I know you never wanted to be apart of Scott's pack, and I wouldn't blame you Scott as your master is a joke,"
"He's not my master," He said cutting Dray off. Dray smiled.
"Oh, come on, I know how it works with you dogs, their can only be one leader. So what if I offered you a chance to join a real team. A team that will soon be so unstoppable that if it want could take over this world with ease."
"Why would I work with you after what you did to Danny,"
"Oh, come on don't give me that crap Aiden. You know very well you'd rip Danny's throat out if there were something in it for you. Join me, pledge you allegiance to me and I will give you something you want more then anything. I'll make you an alpha again; hell I'll even make your brother as well, so you can do that super wolf thing. All you have to do is get your brother to join as well". Aiden was speechless. Their was nothing more in the world he wanted more then to be an alpha again, but he had vowed to put his life of evil behind him. He actually was getting use to being "the good guy" for a change.
"I'll let you think about it, but don't take too long, cause I know Scott will try to make a move against me because he's a foolish child, and I wouldn't want to see someone of your talents die because of him." Dray said rushing away. Ethan came racing out of Danny's hospital room right as he rushed away.
"Aiden, what did he want!" He questioned his brother.
"Huh," Aiden responded, he didn't even hear what his brother asked as he was to devoured in his own thoughts.
"What did he want," Ethan repeated.
"He wants us to join him," Aiden responded.
"What!" Ethan's express was one of complete bewilderment.
"Why on earth would I do that, when I'm going to kill him," Ethan said in a grunt.
"Ethan, he promised to make us alphas again. We'd be strong again," Aiden, answer with this crazy expression on his face made Ethan feel uncomfortable.
"I'll never join him. I'm done with that life Aiden," Ethan said as he dug into his pocket to pull out his cellphone.
"Who you calling?"
"I'm calling Scott to tell him," Ethan responded.
"No," Aiden said as he rushed his brother slamming him into the wall knocking his phone out of his hand.
"What the fuck Aiden," pushing his brother off him. As Ethan bent over to pick up his phone his brothers foot came crashing on it shattering it into pieces.
"Look, please Ethan, don't tell Scott. Lets think about this for a while. He did after all save your boyfriend," Aiden said as he spoke softly.
"Fine, Aiden, I won't say anything, but I'm not joining him," Ethan said turning away from his brother and walking back into Danny's room. Aiden just sat down and thought about if he would be willing to leave his brother behind and join Dray, if it meant to have power again. The choice would be easy if he could get Ethan to go along, but now it's not.
Jackson's head was pounding after Derek told him everything that had happened since he left Beacon Falls, and it was in those moments that he was so happy he left. Life in London was amazing, and now back here once again it was all about monster stuff. Derek had just left and Jackson was heading back to the only thing he missed from living in the States, his Porsche. He was so happy when he found that it was dropped off at the airport for him. It was a nice gift from his parents to have the car pulled out of storage for him.
"Jackson, can we talk," a voice said right as Jackson got in the car. Jackson knew the voice. It was Mason, no now Dray, he called himself.
"What do you want?" Jackson answered arrogantly.
"Oh, just thought we could catch up, you seemed like you wanted to hear from your old friend,"
"I thought you weren't him anymore?" Jackson said as he stepped out of car.
"Well it's more complicated than that Jackson, let's say I'm him, but he's not me. Yea, still confusing. As if you couldn't tell Jackson, the reason I attacked Danny was to bring you back to Beacon Falls,"
"Yeah, I got that already."
"Good, because I brought you here because I know so much about you that there's no one I'd want at my side in the battle to come,"
"You think I'm going to join you,' Jackson said with a small laugh that left a smile on his face.
"See at least you can pull off that arrogance Jackson, your friends can't," Dray said laughing himself.
"So you're not Mason, but have his memories? Jackson questioned.
"Eh, something like that. So, what do you say Jackson will you join me?" Dray said extending his hand.
"Why would I join you? I not even going to stay here. , Danny's fine. I'm going back to London,"
"Hmm, well that was unexpected. What if I offered you true power?"
"True power?" Jackson repeated. Dray laughed.
"Oh, boy do I know you well. I knew that get your attention. How badly would you like to be an alpha? Jackson's heartbeat started to pump faster his brows widened.
"You can make that happen?" He asked seriously.
"There's not much I can't make happen. So, yes, I can deliver you that power. Hell if you join me, and pledge your dying allegiance to me I'll hold down Scott for you to kill if that would sweeten the deal," Dray took a step away, "I'll give you a little time to think about my generous proposal over. Oh, and remember Jackson, if you choose to stay here, and side with Scott I will kill you with absolute enjoyment." Dray rushed away so fast that Jackson could feel the wind whip across his face. As Jackson sat again in his car his mind began to really think about what it would be like to be an alpha.
School was like heaven for everyone, especially Scott. It was the first time in what felt like forever that the pack could get a distraction from all the problems that plagued them. History was the first class that everyone had together. Scott and Stiles walked in as usually together taking the empty seats around Isaac, Lydia, and Kira.
"Hi, Scott," Kira said as soon as her and Scott's eyes met as he walked passed her desk. He smiled and waved but didn't stop to chat. He took the desk behind Stiles right as Coach Finstock walked into the room.
"Sit down and shut up Greenburg," he shouted as he walked to his desk. Scott could feel his eyes already beginning to roll back in his head the second Coach started in on the War of 1812.
"Sitting here in history seems like such a waste of time ever," Stiles thought to himself as he began to doodle in his notebook. Scott's snoring brought a smile to his face. He could hear Isaac's snickering, but when Stiles looked at him he looked away. Stiles mind once again landed on the possibility of Scott and Isaac have some kind of relationship. It was kind of shocking. Stiles never thought Scott would like guys, like he did.
Stiles's POV.
It was really confusing this whole possible Isaac Scott thing, but who am I to judge. I mean I have no problem with it. If Scott had feelings and liked Isaac I'd support him, but how do I bring this it up? I mean I can't be like, oh hey Scott, are you and Isaac fooling around? I still don't even know why I'm thinking about this after everything that has happened in the last few days. Yeah, I feel great, maybe that's the reason why I can't seem to think negative today. As I looked over I could see Lydia doodling in her notebook as well. It seemed today my ADHD was in overdrive I couldn't sit still.
"Stiles, you OK," Isaac whispered. Ah duh I wanted to say to him, but I have to be nice since he could possible be with Scott. I mean I thought he was with Alison, but who knows.
"I'm fine," I whispered back as I went back to my own doodling. Lunch was next and that's all I was longing forward to all day.
Most of the gang was so tired that by history class they could barely keep their eyes open. All except Lydia, she seemed almost robotic today. Her eyes stared straight to the front of the room and she barely blinked. If Scott weren't snoring he would have noticed the strange symbol Lydia continued to draw in her notebook.
"Oh my god, why won't this class end. It's so damn boring," Isaac thought to himself. The time alone to his thoughts today was eating away at him. He hated lying to his friends about Alison not being in school.
Isaac's POV.
Lying to everyone, especially Scott was horrible; I hate it. I have to believe that it was for Alison's best interest to leave. My feelings for Scott don't change my affection for Alison. I feel so strange being attracted to two people who were once together. Still my feelings for Scott were probably just a crush that would go away soon. I have to admit I was probably lying to myself calling my feelings for Scott a crush, but that's all it ever be Scott made it very clear he had no interest in me and the more I think about it the sadder it makes me.
Derek POV.
"This is strange", I thought to myself. Last thing I remember was lying down when I finally got home. Why am I in this strange room? As I looked around I knew where I was, it was Stiles room. It was clearly that I was by the fact of all the goofy crap he kept in his room. As I began to move and pick up the blanket on top of me I noticed that I was nude. This was a dream is all I could think but it felt so real.
"Derek, you ready for round two?" A familiar voice called out. The door handle began to turn; as the door opened a harsh bright light began to blind me. Next thing I remember is waking up in a cold sweat in my own bed.
"Enjoying your dream?" A voice said. My eyes whizzed round the room looking for the person behind the voice. From behind the pillar Dray peered out. My first thought was to attack, but I clearly knew that would be a failure.
"What are you doing here?" I said getting up off the bed.
"I thought we could have a friendly chat," Dray said as he began to move around. Guess I have no choice but to play along. I didn't stand much of a chance one on one against him.
"Your place is quite nice Derek. Guess that insurance money from all those dead family members left you quite wealthy," Dray chuckled. "Well except for that hole in the wall," He said laughing again.
"Fuck you!" I said even before I thought of what to say. It was enraging to even hear him talk at all about my family.
"Oh, see Derek it's for those reasons why we could get along. You definitely have balls to talk to me like that since you know I could rip your head off with the ease of swatting a fly," Dray said smiling ear to ear.
"Can you get to the point of why you're here?" I said as I pulled a shirt from my draw.
"I'm here to offer you a chance to join me," Dray said
"Why on earth would I do that?" I answered with a smile of my own. He had to be crazy. Why on earth would I join him?
"Well I thought you'd be sick of hanging around and taking orders from children. Well unless that's your thing Derek, is it? Do you like to stick it to children? I mean it makes sense then," Dray's own comments gave him quite a laugh. I didn't for a second let his words even faze me.
"You have to be even crazier to think I'd ever join you?"
"I'm sure I could offer you a lot more than Scott could. First, I'm sure you miss being a alpha? I could give you that power back. Second, you'd be on the winning team. I'm not stupid Derek; I know Scott will not do as I ask until I have to drop a few heads on his front steps. One of those heads could be yours, I'd hate to have to waste such a pretty package but I'll do it. Take the deal Derek, serve a real master and not a child."
"Last time I check you were the same age as Scott," I said trying to use Dray's own words to hurt him. I didn't think he even had feelings but it was worth a try.
"That was cute Derek, really it was. I may look like your favorite age group, but don't be fooled I'm quite old. Do think about my offer and not Stiles. I do after all only need one, and I'd like it to be you rather than any of the others I offered the deal to," My body froze. Stiles? He knew about my dream? I was after all in Stiles room? That was Stiles calling my name? I was so confused, I found myself focusing my attention so hard on the dream that I didn't even see Dray leave. I had to know how the hell could he have known what I dreamt. Would I even dream of Stiles? Especially in such as sexual way, I mean maybe it was because of what happened with Dark Stiles and me. I have been thinking about it a lot recently, so that's probably why I dreamed of being with Stiles. I never thought of Stiles in such away before, but I knew my subconscious might be trying to tell me something I wouldn't let myself know. Could I really have a thing for Stiles? It seemed to be more on my mind then Dray's ridiculous offer to join him.
Lunch was normally everyone in Scott's packs favorite period because it was the time that they all got to be together, but today it seemed that everyone was just out of it. They sat at the lunch table. silent was the only comment element.
"Hi, Scott" Kira said coming over to the table lunch tray in hand. Scott picked his head up from the table.
"Oh, hi," He answered back smiling a wide smile. As Scott and Kira continued their small chatting Isaac couldn't help but stare due to his jealousy. Scott hadn't said two words to him all day since the car ride to school. As Isaac stared at Scott and Kira, Stiles stared at him trying to get a read on him.
"Where's Lydia?" Stiles finally asked. In their stupor no one even realized that Lydia wasn't at lunch.
"Hmm, I don't know," Scott, answered.
"I saw her leave," Kira said. This surprised everyone that Lydia would just leave without saying anything to them.
"Did anyone tell her Jackson was back?" Stiles asked.
"Ah, was I not so post to?" Isaac said. Stiles ran his hand down his face showing his disapproval. Scott and Kira went right back to their flirting. Isaac finally couldn't handle watching, he got up and left the table.
"Scott, I'll see you after English," Stiles said as he left the table as well. Scott barely even noticed. Kira had truly gotten his mind off of all the horror that had been driving him mad the last few days.
Stiles followed Isaac at a distance as he made his way to the locker room. Stiles slowly walked into the locker room and headed for the opposite side of the lockers Isaac was on. He was looking for something in his lacrosse locker. The door opened again and Stiles took cover in the showers.
"Isaac, I think we should talk?" A voice said. Stiles knew the voice since it haunted him every time he tried to sleep. It was Dray.
"Oh, shit," Isaac, said as he turned to see Dray standing there at the beginning of the lockers. Stiles didn't know what to do. If he tried to even text Scott it was possible that Dray could hear him.
"Isaac, relax I'm only here to talk," He said with a smile. It was such a creepy smile that it gave Isaac the willies.
"So this is your wonderful school. Cute. Isaac I would like to offer you the chance of a lifetime. I want you to join me," as soon as Dray said to join him Isaac's eyes broadened with shock.
"You want me to join you?" Isaac uttered back to Dray to make sure he heard him right.
"Yes, I do. You're loyal to Scott and the rest of them is foolish, but I like the loyalty, which is why I'm here offering you this chance. Join me; I'll give you true power, alpha power. I can give you everything you ever wanted family, power and even love. You know Scott will never love you, and Alison is waiting for Scott. She's just using you to make him jealous. Pick someone else, boy, girl, goat what ever. Join me and they will be yours. I find no reason for you to die when Scott challenges me. You know deep down when it comes down to who's important to Scott you are very low on the list. Join me, become powerful, become an alpha, and make your own family," Dray's words were resonating strongly with Isaac. Isaac thought to himself that what Dray was saying was true. Scott didn't care about him. Alison could be using him, after all how could someone really love him. Isaac just began to walk with this ghostly look on his face, as if someone had told him Santa wasn't real as a child. It seemed the words of Dray really cut him deeply.
"Think about it Isaac," Dray said once more as Isaac lifelessly walked out of the locker room.
"Stiles, you can come out now," Dray's monotone voice called out as soon as Isaac closed the door. Stiles almost threw up his lunch when Dray called his name. He slowly crept out to see Dray standing right in front of the doorway.
"Did you like what you heard," he said. He was still frozen with fear to even say a word.
"Stiles, you there," Dray said again. When Stiles eyes were glazed over in fear. He didn't even realize that Dray had moved closer to him.
"Stiles," Dray said snapping his fingers. He finally came back to reality and jumped back seeing Dray so close to him.
"Relax, no need to get jumpy Stiles. I'm not going to hurt you. You're a valuable pawn. Now I'm pretty sure that you heard everything I just said, and I honestly don't care if you tell Scott. I'm pretty sure Isaac will tell him. If you couldn't tell Isaac has it pretty bad for him." Stiles rolled his eyes when Dray talked about Scott and Isaac. Dray laughed. "So I thought I'd tell you so you can tell Scott. You only have about a day or two before the Nogitsune gets enough energy to take control of you for a while. So find the stone quickly so I can save you. Pretty simple." Dray said.
"How are you going to save me anyways?" Stiles asked.
"Don't worry about that yet Stiles, worry about getting Scott and the rest of the wolves to find my stone, but I'm curious about your involved in this strange pack being a human. Why haven't you taken the bite? You don't want to be strong?
"Ah" Was all Stiles could say.
"What if I could offer you something stronger, something ageless? What if I could offer you a chance to be something similar to me? I could turn you into a vampire if you wanted Stiles. I think we'd make a good team. Think about it Stiles, because if Scott doesn't find what I want you will die," Dray said. As soon as he finished speaking he turned and walked away. Stiles was still in a cloud of complete confusion by Dray's offer.
"Did he really just offer to make me a vampire?" Stiles keep saying over and over again in his mind.
As Dray had his conversation with both Isaac and Stiles, Scott was busy still talking with Kira. During their talking Scott kept thinking of a way to mention the wolfstone that Dray had wanted him to find in exchange for Stiles life.
"Oh, hey, I wanted to ask you something. Have you ever heard of something called a wolfstone or lifestone? Scott finally just blurted out even as Kira was still talking about some ridiculous assignment that was given to her in science class.
"Ah, no why," She answered as her face scrunched up. Scott thought to himself how adorable it was when she did that.
"You did great research last time. I thought maybe you could help me," Scott said.
"Sure, come over to my house after school," Kira said with a little to excitement. Before Scott could say anything Kira hugged him and walked off. Scott was left just sitting there confused that he thought he just made a date without even trying.
"Where am I," a groggy Alison asked as she sat up on a cot. The room she was in was dark and dreary, with such a horrible smell; it felt like a prison, but even colder.
"Help, "Alison started to scream her voice cracking as she did. She could hear someone moving outside.
"Who's out there?" Allison asked trying to be as brave as she could be in such a terrifying position. Alison could hear the footsteps growing closer and closer till she could hear jingling keys at the door. She stepped far away from the door all the way back till she hit her leg on the cot.
"Dad!" Alison said in a shock. "Where am I?"
"Sorry, honey this is for your safety," he answered her moving into the room.
"I want to leave," Alison said starting to move towards her dad.
"I'm sorry honey, no, you can't. I need to keep you safe now more than ever," He spoke.
"I can keep myself safe," She said.
"Alison, if you leave you will die. Keeping you here is the only way to protect you. You can hate me, but at least you will be alive." Alison didn't know what to say. What could she say; her father just said she'd die if she left.
"Die! I'm going to die?" Alison said taking a seat on the cot.
"I won't let that happen sweetie," he said taking a seat next to her.
"How do you know this?" Alison asked.
"Kara called me. She said one of her witches had a vision of it happening in Beacon hills, which is why you can't come anywhere near the town till all of this is over," He said standing back up.
"I'm going back to town tonight, I will tell your friends what is going to happen. I have some information that may help, but you will stay here," he walked out the door. Alison ran towards the door but he shut it right in her face.
"I'm sorry Alison," he said walking away.
"Dad!" Alison screamed but Chris kept walking.
As the school day came to an end Isaac, Scott and Stiles came together for lacrosse practice.
"Scott, I have to tell you something really important!" Isaac said as he came rushing over to him. "Not now, Isaac," Scott said as he put on his lacrosse jersey on.
"It's really important," Isaac said pleading to get his attention.
"I don't care, Isaac" Scott said as he texted Kira that they should meet at his house at seven because he had forgotten about practice today. Isaac's anger was too much he slammed his locker closed and walked out of the locker room.
"Isaac!" Coach called. "McCall, where is he going?" Scott shrugged his shoulders. Stiles came rushing into the locker room pulling off his shirt even before he got to his locker. In normal Stiles fashion walking and taking your shirt off over your head is too difficult, as he came crashing into one of the benches in the locker room that sent him toppling over right in front of Coach.
"Finally, Stilinski, you walking disaster, you're worst than Greenburg," Coach said as everyone laughed as Stiles pulled his shirt finally over his head. Stiles quickly got up and went over near Scott to finish getting changed.
"I want everyone's attention for a second, if some of you haven't heard Danny was involved in a accident. He's doing better from the last update we got so everyone sign the card on my desk before you leave today. Now get out to that field," he said finishing by blowing his whistle."
"Scott, wait," Stiles said as everyone began to run out.
"Where's Isaac?" Stiles asked.
"He left in a huff because I didn't listen to something he had to tell me," Scott said as he started to walk out.
"Why didn't you listen to what he had to say, if it's what I'm going to tell you it was really important," Stiles said to Scott as he walked next to him.
"What! What is so important," Scott said with attitude.
"Dray was here. He talked with Isaac and myself,"
"What!" Scott stopped dead in his tracks.
"He was here? what did he want?" Scott asked.
"Well maybe if you weren't mean to him like you probably were he would have told you, but I guess I have to now. Scott, Dray, asked Isaac to join him. I overheard the whole conversation.
"What!"
"Scott, he also asked me if I wanted to be like him, a vampire,"
"What did Isaac say? Scott seemed to be so shocked by Dray's offer to Isaac that he didn't even hear what Stiles said about his own offer.
"Nothing, Dray really hurt him Scott, which you being mean to him was really bad. Isaac left after hearing what Dray said I think that's what he wanted to tell you. Stiles said.
"I have to find Isaac," Scott said.
"Go, I'll cover for you take my keys if you need them, they're in my locker," Stiles said as he began walking backwards towards the field. Scott took off back towards the lockers. He quickly undid Stiles's locker tossed his gloves inside and grabbed Stiles's keys. He rushed after Isaac with all hope that he could apologize to Isaac.
