Chapter 11
Gaby stepped back in shock "I don't understand. Who would want my parents and me dead? My parents were loved in this town."
"I don't know Gaby. I wish I could give you the answers, but I just don't know," the sheriff sighed "Do you want me to stay here until your aunt gets home?"
The blonde shook her head no "I want to tell her."
He nodded and stood up. Gaby walked him to the door fighting the tears that were trying fall. The sheriff gently hugged the sixteen year-old and walked away. The second Gaby closed the door she fell to the ground sobbing. She felt someone gently pick her up and carry her to her room, but she just continued to cry. "Why?" Gaby asked looking up at Derek.
He shook his head "I don't know."
Derek sat on her bed and placed her next to him. She cuddled up to him causing him to tense before slowly relaxing and moving his arm around her. The blonde cried into Derek's chest as he rubbed her back attempting to calm her down.
After a few minutes the blonde sniffled and pulled away "I need to call my aunt."
Derek nodded "I should probably go anyway."
"Will you at least stay with me until she's here? I don't want to be alone right now."
The werewolf nodded and sat back down on the bed. Gaby walked downstairs and picked up the landline dialing her aunt's number. "Hey sweetheart, can this wait I'm in the middle of a crisis?" Lisa asked her niece.
"No," Gaby sniffled "no it can't I need you to come home right now."
"Gaby why are you crying? Are you hurt? What's wrong?"
"I'm not hurt. Sheriff Stilinski came by and I need you home now."
"Ok baby I'm on my way," Lisa said hanging up the phone.
Derek walked down the stairs "How long will it take her to get home?"
"Five minutes," the blonde shrugged.
"I should really go then. I don't wanna get caught."
Gaby nodded "I'm sorry for breaking down like that."
Derek gently wiped the tears away "You should never be sorry for breaking down over something like that." He gently kissed her before walking out the back door.
Gaby sat down on a barstool waiting for her aunt to show up. She couldn't process the information, why would someone want to kill her and her parents? It just didn't make sense. The glare of headlights in the window broke Gaby's thoughts.
Lisa burst through the front door and noticed her niece sitting on a barstool in the kitchen. "Gaby, what happened?" Lisa asked her.
"Sheriff Stilinski dropped by and…"Gaby took a deep breath "and told me he's reopening the accident case."
"Did he say why?"
Gaby nodded and began crying again "He has evidence to prove that it wasn't just an accident. Someone planned it all out. He said it's now a murder case."
Lisa covered her mouth and let her tears fall as well "Oh sweetie." Lisa gently hugged the crying blonde letting her just cry.
"You sure you'll be ok by yourself?" Lisa asked her niece carrying her luggage towards her car the next night.
Gaby gave her aunt a small smiled "I'll be fine. I can't do what I did when I was ten. My parents wouldn't want me to do that to myself."
Lisa had stayed the whole day with Gaby. They went shopping, watched movies, and visited her parents' graves. It was that moment when Gaby realized she can't shut herself away from the world again, yes she was upset, but she needed to handle the situation better than the last time. The blonde waved goodbye to her aunt and walked back inside. She walked into her bedroom and jumped when she saw Derek sitting at her desk. "What are you doing here?" she asked him.
"I need your help with something," Derek said tossing the keys to his Camaro to her.
Gaby smirked and looked up at him "Whatever it is, count me in."
Gaby shifted up a gear as Kate's headlights got closer to them "Faster?"
"Much faster" Stiles said from the backseat. The blonde sighed and shifted up another gear speeding away. Kate quickly caught up to them "Ok Gabs I don't think you're grasping the concept of the car chase here," Stiles told her.
"If she goes faster, she'll kill us," Scott complained from the passenger seat.
"Well if she doesn't go faster, they'll kill us."
"Ok shut up both of you," Gaby snapped shifting up another gear.
Stiles looked through the back window "They're gone."
He turned on the hand held police radio so they could figure out if Derek was spotted. "All units," the officer said "the suspect is on foot heading into the iron works."
Gaby sighed and made a sharp left not slowing down. After hitting the iron works Gaby slowed down and drove through it. Scott spotted Derek "Right there."
"I see him," she said coming to a screeching halt next to the werewolf.
"Get in," Scott said opening the door and jumping into the backseat. Chris Argent pulled out a machine gun and began firing at Derek and the car. The second Derek shut the door Gaby sped off. "What part of laying low don't you understand?" Scott asked him.
"Damn it I had him!" Derek shouted hitting his dashboard.
"Who the Alpha?" Stiles asked him.
"Yes! He was right in front of me, and the freaking police showed up."
"Oh, hey they're just doing their jobs…" Stiles was cut off by Derek's glare.
"Yeah thanks to someone who decided to make me the most wanted fugitive in the entire state," Derek said glaring at Scott.
"Can we seriously get past that?" Scott asked him "I made a dumbass mistake. I get it."
"All right!" Stiles said interrupting their fight "Scott made a stupid mistake can we move on?"
"Shut up Stiles you went along with it and told everyone that he was obsessed with me," Gaby argued keeping her eyes on the road.
"Oh you're seriously bringing that up?"
"You told them I was what?" Derek snapped looking back at Stiles.
"They found a locker with Gaby's name written in blood and a spiral underneath it at the scene. We were asked why you would do that and I said because you were obsessed with her," Stiles explained.
"Stiles I have a question," Gaby said "Did it ever occur to you that an accusation like that could send…I don't know werewolf hunters after me?"
"I'm sure they already knew."
"Already knew what?" Derek and Scott asked.
"Stiles, like I told you earlier they wouldn't have given me those flowers if they already knew."
"What flowers?" Scott asked.
Gaby sighed "I got a bouquet from the Argents when I was in the hospital."
"Well that seems nice."
"Scott it had wolfsbane in it."
"What?" Derek asked her.
Gaby nodded her head "Yup and I started sneezing and coughing in front all four Argents."
"So what's the problem tell them you're allergic," Scott suggested.
"Humans don't have a reaction to wolfsbane," Derek told him.
Gaby spared a quick look at him "So why do I?"
He shook his head not answering the question. "Is she actually a werewolf?" Stiles asked them.
"No!" Gaby, Scott, and Derek answered.
"Is she…"
"STILES!"
"Ok, ok so how did you find the Alpha?" Stiles asked him.
Derek scoffed and shook his head. "Can you try and trust us for at least half a second?" Scott asked him.
"Yeah all of us." Derek glared at Stiles. "Or just those two. I'll be back here."
"Look," Derek said "The last time I talked to my sister she was close to figuring something out. She found two things. The first was a guy named Harris," Derek explained.
Stiles popped his head in between the two seats "Our chemistry teacher?"
"Why him?" Scott asked as Gaby shoved Stiles' head into the back seat.
"I don't know yet," Derek admitted.
"What's the second?" Gaby asked him.
Derek unfolded the piece of paper and held it up "Some kind of symbol." Gaby looked at the drawing and knew she had seen it somewhere but she couldn't put her finger on it. Scott groaned in the backseat. "What?" Derek asked "You know what this is?"
"I've seen it on a necklace," Scott sighed.
Gaby gasped "Allison's necklace."
Gaby walked into school Wednesday and watched as everyone looked at her strangely. She spotted Lydia and stood next to the locker "Why is everyone staring at my like I've grown a second head?"
"Maybe because people know you were seriously hurt during the incident last week. Or because of what was on the news this morning," Lydia shrugged turning to face the blonde.
Gaby sighed "You're kidding me? They said stuff about my parents' case?"
The redhead nodded "Are you going to shut me out again?"
"Not this time," Gaby told her before getting pulled down the hallway by Scott and Stiles.
"Sorry Lydia, we really need Gaby right now," Scott yelled down the hall still pulling Gaby.
"What is going on?" Gaby asked struggling to pull herself away from them.
"Jackson knows about me," Scott answered finally letting the blonde go.
"What?"
"How the hell did he find out?" Stiles asked him.
"I have no idea," Scott answered.
"Did he say it out loud…the word?"
"What word?"
"Werewolf, Scott," Gaby said slapping his arm "Did he say 'I know you're a werewolf?'"
"No but he implied it pretty freaking clearly."
"Ok maybe it's not as bad as it seems," Stiles told him "He doesn't have any proof right? And if he wanted to tell someone who's gonna believe him anyway?"
"How about Allison's father?"
"Ok it's bad."
"I need a cure, right now."
"Does he know about Allison's father?"
"I don't know."
"Ok where's Derek?" Stiles asked.
"I don't know."
The two boys looked over at Gaby. "Why are you guys looking at me?" she asked them.
"You know where Derek is," Stiles told her.
Gaby rolled her eyes "So what if I do? I'm not supposed to tell anyone anyway."
"Come on Gabs," he sighed.
"He's hiding like we told him to, why?"
"I have another idea. It's gonna take a little time to finesse, though."
"We have that game tonight," Scott reminded him "It's quarter finals, and it's your first game."
"Yeah Scott I know, Gaby wouldn't be wearing her cheer uniform just for the fun of it." Stiles sighed "Look do you have a plan for Allison yet?"
"She's in my next class," Scott sighed.
"Get the necklace."
"Good luck," Gaby said walking away with Stiles "He's not gonna get it."
"Nope," Stiles answering walking another direction leaving Gaby to suffer through a French test.
At lunch Gaby quickly found Scott and Stiles and sat down across from them. "What happened?" Stiles asked him.
"She told me not to talk to her," Scott answered "At all."
"So she's not giving you…"
"She's not giving me the necklace!"
"Well did you find anything else out?"
"Just that I know nothing about girls, and that they're totally psychotic."
"Hey!" Gaby snapped "We're not psychotic."
"Then how would you describe it?" Scott asked her.
"Complex," she shrugged opening her water.
"Ok, now that we've got that out of the way," Stiles said "I came up with a plan B in case anything like this happened."
"What's plan B?" Scott asked.
"Just steal the stupid thing!"
"Yeah because she won't hate him at all after that," Gaby stated rolling her eyes.
"Couldn't we at least try getting to Harris?" Scott asked.
"My dad put him on a 24-hour protective detail, ok. The necklace is all we got. Steal it, thank you."
"Stiles he's watching us," Scott said nodding over to Jackson.
"Creepy," Gaby told him turning around and looking at him with a raised eyebrow.
Scott began to look very uncomfortable and started shifting in his seat. "What's wrong?" Stiles asked him.
"Jackson's talking to me he knows I can hear him," Scott answered "Look at me. Just talk to me act normal. Pretend that nothing's happening." Stiles hesitated. "Say something talk to me," Scott snapped at him.
"I can't think of anything my mind's completely blank."
"You're mind's blank you can't think of something to say?"
"Not under this kind of pressure."
"Oh for the love of all that is good," Gaby whispered causing the two boys to look at her "Derek and I made out."
"What?" both boys asked her.
"You said to talk about something, and that's the first thing that came to mind."
"You and Derek making out is the first thing that comes to mind?" Scott asked her.
"Bite me ok, he's a really good kisser."
"When?" Stiles asked her.
"Uh the first time…"
"There was more than one time?"
"Yes, now let me talk. The first time was two nights ago and then the last time was last night."
"When did you two have the time to make out last night?" Scott asked her.
"After we dropped you two off."
"Did you drive back to your place?" Stiles scoffed.
Gaby shook her head "No we made out in his car."
"Of course you did," Stiles shook his head.
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?"
"Well…uh…we've caught you making out with Nick in his car several times so…I figured that would be a make out place for you…"
Gaby huffed and gathered her tray. The two boys watched as she dumped it. "See, girls completely psychotic," Scott sighed.
The blonde grabbed her backpack sitting next to the chair she previously occupied. "I heard that!" she snapped.
"We're going to pay for that later aren't we?" Stiles asked.
"Big time," Gaby said walking away.
After school got out Stiles grabbed Gaby. "What?" she asked.
"I need your help with something, come over to my house after school?" Stiles asked her.
Gaby sighed "Why should I? Are you going to make fun of me again?"
"I'm sorry ok? I didn't realize it was a touchy subject for you."
The blonde rolled her eyes "Fine I'll meet you at your house."
"So are you and him like together now?" Stiles asked with a grossed out look on his face.
"I don't know…I don't think so."
"So you two just make out?"
"Stiles," She warned him.
"Alright backing off."
The blonde sighed as she got into her car. Before she could move someone knocked on her window. Gaby put the car in park and motioned for Lydia to come in "Are you ok?"
"Jackson broke up with me," Lydia responded.
"What?"
"Yeah over text."
"What a Jackass thing to do," Gaby shook her head.
"I could really use some girl time before the game."
Gaby bit her lip "I'm being an awful friend right now, but I have to go help Stiles with a project and it needs to be done tonight. Can we get together after the game?"
Lydia sighed and nodded her head "Call me ok?"
The blonde nodded her head and drove off to Stiles' house. She pulled up right as Sheriff Stilinski was getting into his squad car. "Gabriella, how are you feeling?" he asked her.
"Better, not great but better than a few nights ago," she responded.
"Well Stiles is in his room. I'll see you later?"
"Totally," She smiled walking into the house. She walked into his room and immediately noticed Derek glaring at Stiles with a fistful of his shirt in his hands and pushed against a wall. She raised an eyebrow as they glanced at her.
"If I'm harboring your fugitive ass," Stiles said turning his attention back to Derek "it's my house," he hit the werewolf's shoulder "my rules, buddy." Derek looked at the shoulder he just hit then back at Stiles nodding his head. He backed away and straightened Stiles' jacket. Stiles laughed and did the same thing to Derek's jacket. Stiles slowly walked away and Derek flinched toward him causing Stiles to say "Oh my God!" and scramble towards his computer.
Gaby giggled at this and put her backpack on Stiles' bed. The blonde smirked as she saw Derek checking her out, out of the corner of his eye. She sat down pulling out her French homework. "Scott didn't get the necklace?" Derek asked him.
"No he's still working on it, but there's another there's something else we can try." Derek made a 'what' gesture telling him to continue. "The night we were trapped at the school, Scott sent a text to Allison asking her to meet him there."
"So?"
"So," Gaby sighed "It wasn't Scott. You broke his phone remember?"
"Can you find out who sent it?"
"No not me," Stiles answered "But I think I know somebody who can."
Derek had settled in a chair next to Gaby reading the book she was required to read for English. Gaby smiled as Danny walked into the room "Danny! How's my favorite goalie?"
"Always good Gaby. How's my favorite cheerleader?"
She laughed and flipped her ponytail "Amazing as always."
"Wouldn't expect anything less from Gabriella Myers." Gaby laughed again at the comment.
"Danny I need you to trace a text," Stiles said sitting at the computer.
"You want me to do what?"
"Trace a text."
"I came here to do lab work. That's what lab partners do."
Stiles groaned "And we will, once you trace the text."
"And what makes you think I know how?"
"I…I looked up your arrest report. So…"
"I…I was 13. They dropped the charges."
"Whatever."
"No. We're doing lab work," Danny told him sitting down next to him.
"Oh my…"
Stiles typed on his computer and Danny turned around and looked at Derek "Who's he again?"
"Um, my cousin…Miguel," Stiles answered.
Gaby snorted and turned it into a cough when Danny looked over at her. "Is that blood on his shirt?" Danny asked.
"Yeah, yes. Well he gets these horrible nosebleeds," Stiles turned his attention to Derek "Hey Miguel, I thought I told you to borrow one of my shirts."
Derek looked up at him then tossed the book he was reading onto the bed behind Gaby. He stood up and stripped off his shirt. Gaby could hear Stiles talking but she was too focused on shirtless Derek beside her to understand what he was saying. "Uh Stiles," Derek said pulling at a shirt. "This…" he stretched it "no fit."
"Then try something else on." Derek pulled on an orange and blue stripped shirt. "Hey that looks pretty good huh?"
"Stiles, I thought I burned that shirt," Gaby said looking at her friend.
"I had another one…so what do you think Danny?"
"It's not really his color," Danny answered.
Derek pulled off that shirt and threw it on the ground. He smirked when he saw Gaby looking at him. Gaby turned her attention back to French trying to ignore shirtless Derek.
"You're a horrible person," Danny told Stiles.
"I know it keeps me awake at night. Anyway, about that text," Stiles said.
"Stiles! None of these fit," Derek told him.
"I'll need the ISP, the phone number, and the exact time of the text," Danny said turning towards the computer.
Gaby looked towards Derek as he threw another shirt to the ground. Sighing she got up and helped him find a shirt. "What are you doing?" Derek asked in a whisper.
"Finding you a shirt, unless you wanna stay shirtless," Gaby laughed. He nodded as she pulled out a faded black T-shirt and handed it to him. "Might be a little snug, but at least it covers you."
He slid the shirt on and stood behind Danny and Stiles. "There," Danny said "The text was sent from a computer…this one."
"Registered to that account name?" Derek asked him.
"No, no, no, no that can't be right," Stiles shook his head.
Gaby got up from the bed and stood behind Stiles. She read the screen and gasped. The text was sent from Melissa McCall's computer at work. "What the hell?" Gaby asked.
Gaby sighed as she sat in the back of Stiles' jeep. Stiles pulled up to the hospital and parked. Before anyone could make a move his phone rang. "Hey Scott…yeah I did and it looks just like the drawing…" Stiles said into his phone.
Derek grabbed Stiles' wrist pulling the phone closer to him "Hey is there something on the back of it? There's gotta be something. An inscription, an opening…something."
Stiles put the phone back to his ear. "I'm only hearing half of this conversation," Gaby sighed leaning against Stiles' seat.
"I know," Stiles said "Look if you see my Dad, can you tell him…Tell him I'll be there I'll just be a little bit late, ok? Alright thanks," Stiles hung up his phone and put it in his pocket.
"You're not going to make it," Derek told him.
"I know."
"And you didn't tell him about his mom, either."
"Let's just make sure it's actually her first before accusing her of something," Gaby said to the two of them.
"By the way, one more thing," Derek said to Stiles.
"Yeah," the teenager looked over at Derek. Derek grabbed his head and slammed it into the steering wheel of the jeep. Gaby bit her lip to keep herself from laughing. "Ow what the hell?"
"You know what that was for now go," Derek said pointing towards the door. Stiles didn't move. "GO!" The teenager quickly scrambled out of the jeep. Gaby crawled out from the back with the help of Derek and began following Stiles. "Gaby?" Derek called after her.
"Yeah?"
"Be careful ok?"
Gaby smiled at him "I will." She quickly ran into the hospital where Stiles was waiting for her.
"What took you so long?" Stiles asked her.
"No reason. Let's just go."
Stiles pulled out his phone when Melissa wasn't there "I can't find her…I said I can't find her," he told Derek. The two walked into Peter Hale's room only to discover it empty "Yeah well he's not here…He's not here. He's gone, Derek." Stiles slowly put down his phone and grabbed Gaby to move out of the room.
"What's going on?" Gaby asked as they got to the hallway.
Gaby was looking at Stiles jumped when a voice behind her said "You must be Stiles." Gaby grabbed Stiles' arms. She started to turn and face him but Stiles held her in place shaking his head. Gaby slowly pieced everything together and realized Peter was the Alpha. "And this pretty little blonde must be Gabriella," the man said again. Gaby stayed still. She felt someone grab her arms and yank her backwards.
Gaby squeaked in surprise and closed her eyes trying to calm herself down. "Let go of her," She heard Stiles say.
"What are you two doing here?" a woman asked. Gaby guessed it was Peter's nurse "Visiting hours are over."
"You…and him?" Stiles asked "You're the one who…Oh and he's the…Oh my God. I'm gonna die. I'm gonna die."
Gaby heard a commotion in front of her then Peter sighed "That wasn't very nice, she was my nurse."
"She's the psychotic bitch helping you kill people. Get out of the way" Derek said. Gaby opened her eyes and saw Stiles scrambling away.
"You think I killed Laura on purpose?" He asked moving himself and Gaby forward "One of my own family?" Derek growled at him ready to lunge. But Peter stopped him "You wouldn't hurt pretty little Gabriella, would you?"
"Let Gaby go!" Derek growled.
She felt someone stroke her cheek and she flinched away. "No I don't think I will," Peter responded "It pains you to see that you can't do anything to help her doesn't it?" Derek only growled in response. "You know I should just turn her here and now. Imagine the kind of werewolf she would be…"
Gaby flinched when she felt his breath hitting her neck. "NO!" Derek shouted stopping Peter from biting her. He growled and started to lunge at Peter.
In response Peter threw Gaby against the wall. This only made Derek angrier. Gaby shut her eyes and tried to will the pain in her head away. It slowly started to go away when she heard Derek grunt in pain and the sound of bones cracking. Gaby opened her eyes only to see Peter right in front of her with Derek on his knees as his hand was being broken. "I tried to tell you what was happening. I tried to warn you," Peter told him. He held Derek down as he turned his attention to Gaby. "Well look at those stunning blue eyes," Peter said throwing Derek through a glass window then turning towards Gaby.
"Please just stay away from me," Gaby pleaded backing up into the wall.
Peter kneeled in front of her "Oh I won't hurt you. I need you alive."
"For what?"
"Several things actually…the most important one is leverage."
"For who?"
Peter smirked "I'm feeling generous tonight you and your friend get out of here. This is a family matter."
"No," Gaby shook her head "I'm not leaving without him."
He looked at her "If you don't leave in one minute I will turn you right now, and make you kill your friend Stiles. And don't think I won't do it…I made Scott do it a week ago I can certainly do that to you."
Gaby closed her eyes and slowly nodded her head. Stiles stood up and offered his hand. The blonde took it and the two walked out of the hospital. Gaby started crying. Stiles hugged her "Derek can handle himself. Ok Peter said he wanted understanding, I doubt he'll kill him."
"That's really comforting Stiles, thank you," she responded sarcastically.
Stiles sighed "We need to tell Scott."
Gaby nodded her head "More than likely Peter will show up in person and try to convince Scott to join him."
"That's great the Alpha showing up to the school…again," Stiles sighed driving off towards the high school hoping to beat Peter there.
