Remember, the song starts at the "**"
Come with me now by Kongos
Everything around him was beginning to fall apart. The only person he thought he could trust had actually been lying to his face the whole time. A few days had went by since Rickey discovered there was an alpha in town. It made sense. All the random animal attacks and people had called them "mountain lions" It was beginning to make sense to the omega. Mountain lions were very dangerous animal but Rickey knew exactly in his core that there was no way in hell that a mountain lion was capable of such mayhem that had recently taken place in Beacon Hills. The next big topic that had popped in his head was his brother. Was Riley already aware of the alpha? It would explain why he was acting so strange a lot lately.
Rickey knew he had made Anna a promise to never pick up another glass of any type of alcohol again, but, that promise was now broken as he found himself backed into a corner and at his favorite old fashion, vintage bar with a small glass of bourbon. "Sid," he had opened his mouth as if he wanted to say more to the brunette bartender, his longtime friend and probably the only person he could trust at the moment but all that came out was a sigh, earning a giggle from the bartender as she continued to wipe down the countertop.
Luckily the place was just about completely empty. "Just you and me against the world." The omega said to his glass of bourbon.
Sidney couldn't help but to feel curious about his situation. She could tell he was in something deep but could only imagine it was an argument between him and Anna maybe. As long as she knew Rickey, which was since their sophomore year in high school, the omega was a stress drinker, only drinking at his breaking points or just before he would reach them. This must've been his calm before the storm.
"Friends? Who need them? Not me! I got whiskey!" Spoken like a drunk, Rickey couldn't help the words that came out his mouth at this point. But to him, it was better than letting his anger get the best of him and go on an accidental killing spree.
There were a few different types of drunks that Sidney was aware of. To diagnose her longtime friend she had kept her stunning brown eyes hawked on the omega, beaming into his very core and listened to how he went on and on about his life. This was definitely not the Rickey she knew off.
"I mean why lie?" he said. It wasn't until Rickey said her name before she snapped out her gaze. "Sounds like you need a vacation?" with a shoulder shrug, she suggested to the omega. Rickey's eye brows had hinted up as he took in that in for consideration. A vacation would be nice. Him, his brother and Anna. Of course Riley would be a third wheel for a moment but he would have his two favorite people in sight and out of danger, out of this hell whole city. No Derek, no alpha and definitely no Kate Argent. It all sounded perfect in his head.
The plan was simple, attract the alpha the school somehow and eliminate him once and for all. Their plan was orchestrated by Derek Hale himself as he met the three stooges in the parking lot of the school. "So what's the plan?" Scott questioned. Without any words, he pointed to the school hoping the three would use their commons sense and know what's next.
Like a domino effect, one by one the three had turned their eyes to the high school behind them. "You want us to go in there?" Stiles said between laughter. Derek only nodded his head once with his dead pinned expression. "And what? Have Scott use make a howl over the intercom system and call that hideous thing here?" Again, the beta had a dead pinned expression as he continued to nod his head up and down. A lump had then formed in the center of the pale goof throat that was far beyond difficult to just swallow. "He can't be serious." Stiles whispered over to Riley who looked almost as shocked as he was. "Oh he's serious." Riley whispered back.
"Now hurry up! We don't have much time." Derek said with a tone so stern and aggressive, it had shook fear into the boy's chest and had sent both Stiles and Scott sprinting towards the school while Riley stood outside with Derek.
At first, there was nothing but an awkward silence that had lingered about the night. Derek stood there gazing at the moon. Something wasn't right he thought. Riley didn't know much about his family history with Derek but figured that he would probably never get another shot at asking.
"Derek?" Riley asked as he leaned himself up against the betas vehicle. He could tell that the beta's mind was somewhere else.
"What?" the beta had answered with a stern yet broody look.
Riley felt his heart beginning to beat louder and louder as he brought himself to the question that he's been wandering for a while now.
"I don't mean to make things weird but what's the history between our families?"
As if talking about his family wasn't hard enough, he now had to tell Riley about the conflicts between the Stones and the Hale pack. Derek of course wasn't sure how to answer that question. He could say a million things about the history between the two but none would be the exact answer.
He started to answer the boy but before he could let a single word he was cut off by an unsatisfying howl that sounded more like a drowning cat. The two exchanged an inquisitive stare.
"What the hell…" Derek said. He then looked back over to Riley who was letting out a few chuckles. It was obvious that the omega had found humor in Scotts knockoff howl. Derek couldn't even call it a howl. He was quickly embarrassed of the entire situation. It became evident when he took his palm straight to his face as if he was trying to cover some type of shame. "Those idiots are going to screw everything up!" Derek said.
Just then, followed behind Scotts wimpy howl was another howl. This one was more viscous and terrifying than the first.
Not a moment after, the two had come dashing from the school both wearing a proudly grin on their faces.
"You two are the biggest idiots I've ever met!" Derek exclaimed as threw his index finger towards their direction, going on and on about how loud and obnoxious they were beginning to become. Riley felt a bit odd as he kept his back propped up against Derek's car and his arms crossed. There was nothing more he could do but let him scold the boys. He wasn't going to get in the middle of it.
As he went on scolding the two boys, Riley had a certain uneasy feeling that was beginning to grow on him. He slowly poked his head just to realize behind an angry Derek was a large and monstrous beast with viscous red eyes that gave nightmares to anyone who would just take a glance at them. Riley's mouth dropped in horror as he attempted to shout Derek's name but before could even speak, the alpha had rammed its claws into the beta, causing a dark crimson liquid to spill from Derek's mouth as he was left dangling off his feet.
"RUN!" Stiles had never shouted as loud as he did then as he was the first to flee the scene. He almost ran faster than Riley and Scott.
Heading towards the school, Riley could feel the alpha was on him and his two friends' feet's. The very ground under their feet had shook each time the alpha dropped its paw's.
The door was ripped open and they each darted into the school, their only safe zone for the time being. Scott and Riley had used all their strength to keep the door shut, even after all the pushing and banging the alpha did.
"In here!" Stiles said, as the two darted away from the doors and into a class. Stiles had then slammed the door shut right behind him after making sure Scott and Riley was in.
"We're gonna die, we're gonna die, we're gonna die…" Stiles repeated to himself as he paced circles in the class while chewing on his thumb. Scott dashed under the window on his hands and knees, trying figure out a plan. Riley raised his phone into mid-air, desperately trying to get a signal.
"Are you calling 911?" Scott asked.
"Yeah if I ever get a signal…" Riley replied.
"Call your brother!" Scott suggested.
Just then, Riley felt his body shift into an automatic pause once Scott said "brother". There was no way in hell he could get Rickey into this mess. Last time he checked, Rickey had no idea of the alpha. He wanted to keep it that way for as long as he could.
"Nononono… hell no… did I mention NO!?" Riley said over to Scott.
"He may be our only hope!" Scott said.
No matter what Scott would say, Riley wouldn't dare to bring his older brother into this situation.
"We're gonna die, we're gonna die, we're gonna die…" Stiles continued as he went round and round in circles.
"Stiles?" Riley said but received no response.
The omega then exchanged a confused expression with Scott. The two could tell he was scared for his life.
Riley then grabbed Stiles by his two scrawny arms and ran his palm quickly against his clammy face.
"OW!" Stiles cried out.
"He had too, Stiles, you were freaking out." Scott said.
When the fragile teenager had finally came back to his senses, his first thought was think of a way to get out of the school. Stiles was the brain while Scott and Riley were the muscle.
Allison, Lydia, and Viola all were having their monthly girls' night out where they would go to one of their houses and eat ice cream and talk. A lot of times they would be forced to watch The Notebook because of Lydia. "So… Viola how are you and Riley?" Allison asked, showing off a single dimple.
Once Riley's name came up Viola instantly threw her face into her hands, struggling to hide her overwhelming blush but that only made it worst.
When she gained control over emotions again, the brunette then looked up to Allison and Lydia trying to keep a straight face so that she could answer the two. The more she tried, the harder it became to keep her straight face. She would get butterflies from just seeing the boy, let alone thinking about him.
"Has he asked you to Winter Formal yet?" Lydia questioned.
Instead of saying yes or no, Viola had shook her head side to side. At the time it was hard for the girl to open up her mouth without breaking off into a smile.
"Have you guys even had sex yet?"
"Lydia!" Allison gasped.
"As a best friend, I have to know these things." Lydia said.
"That's personal!" Allison protested but in the end Lydia saw no wrong about wanting to know her friends sex life.
"It's okay Allison. And to answer your question Lydia, no me and Riley have not had sex yet. We haven't really given us a title yet either." She said.
"Besides, we are taking things slow." And with that she smiled.
"That sounds beyond boring." Lydia replied.
"Well I think it's wonderful." Allison chimed in.
Having Lydia and Allison as best friends were like talking to the devil and an angel, one who told you, you were doing the right thing while the other justified almost every action you made in life, but, Viola loved them both dearly and couldn't see anyone else more luckier than she was to have them both.
"What about you and Scott?" Viola asked her friend.
While Viola reaction to Riley's name was to blush, Allison's reaction to Scott's name was to suddenly feel down, but, before she vent her situation out to her two best friends, her phone went off in an annoying buzz attack. It was a text from Scott telling her to meet him at the school.
When Allison read the message out loud, Viola was the only one to find it strange yet romantic while Lydia was hoping to a god that she wouldn't have to leave the bed.
"Let's go!" Viola said with a thrilled smile.
Allison frown had quickly turned upside down and into a smile as she grabbed her two best friends by their wrist, wanting nothing more but to go to the high school.
The three boys had not moved an inch since they've been in the class room. Scott had occasionally poked his head up to see where the beast was and each time he checked, the beast had been standing like a statue on the roof of Derek's car. Its searing red savage eyes were locked on Scott direction as if he was waiting for him to make a move. Scott felt his whole heart drop to the bottom of his stomach as the beast gazed over towards him, growling and showing off its viscous razor sharp teeth. He could only what the beast had used those for.
"I think we can just sneak out but we need a plan." Scott said.
"Thanks for pointing that out captain obvious!" Riley said.
Scott's eye brows went up in confusion at Riley's tone.
"Hey guys, I hate to be that person but THERE'S A BLOOD THIRSY ALPHA STALKING US AND WE CANT AFORD TO ARGUE RIGHT NOW!" Stiles words were the key to getting boys back into focus. Yes it was late, yes there was a powerful alpha after their heads but soon went back to realizing that if they wanted to see another day then they needed each other.
They all had begun to think of ways on how they would sneak right pass the alpha and get to Stiles jeep but their thought process was quickly shattered when a battery pack was sent crashing through the window and landing right in front of the three, sending Stiles into a horrifying scream as he dashed out the classroom, followed by Scott then Riley. The fragile teenager high-pitched scream had went on and on as he they all ran down the hall without a plan but just to survive.
The girls had all pulled into the driveway, noticing the door was wide open and Stiles jeep was in the parking.
"I don't have a good feeling about this anymore…" Viola thought aloud, breaking the silence.
A nervous look had suddenly appeared on each of the girls faces. Lydia lips began to tremble when she first noticed claw marks the side of Stiles jeep. It had immediately reminded the strawberry blonde of the mountain lion back at the video store. Lydia was locked in a daze that the only thing had snapped her out of it was the sound of the car door being shut. She then realized that her only two companions were leaving her and going to enter the school.
"Guys! Don't leave me!" Lydia had quickly chased after the two, fearing the worst if she had stayed in the car by herself.
They wandered deep in the halls but had found no sign of Scott, Riley nor Stiles. "Isn't this illegal?" Lydia thought aloud.
Suddenly they had ran straight into three sweating boys who each had looked as if they had seen a ghost or something worst.
"Scott?" Allison said.
"Allison?" Scott said
"Riley?" Viola said
"Viola?" Riley said.
"What are you doing here!?" with an inquisitive expression, Scott questioned.
"You told me to meet you here?" Allison replied, causing the three boys to be thrown off into a status of confusion. There a sudden awkwardness that had blew over the group, no one had any idea what was really going on but now they were all in danger. Just then that same awkward silence when a loud roar had ripped through the hall, causing each and every individual to jump in fear and break into a mad dash in search for another room of safety. Riley had snatched Viola by her wrist and sprinted as fast as he could. Soon the couple had got separated from the group, hiding in the janitor closet was their only option.
He held her close and tight with her body pressed to his, he could feel every beat of her heart as it pumped faster and faster with every breath she took: she was beyond terrified. He just wanted to protect her and at this point he would have done anything.
"Riley what the hell is going on!?" She cried.
All he could was place his hand over her mouth to keep her quiet and hope the alpha wouldn't notice them but the sound of the alphas nails being placed on the hard cold ground was enough for the omega to break into a sweat and enough for a tear stroll down Viola's cheek.
The alpha had wandered on by as if it had never noticed the couple in the closet but for some odd reason, Riley couldn't shake the feeling that he was still near. Then, the door had flew open. Too their surprise it was just the school's janitor. The couple's words had tumbled over each other's as they desperately tried to warn him of the danger that was lurking about in the school.
"You kids need to leave right now!" Suddenly, he was snatched up into the air, Riley could guess it was the alpha that had got him. A dark liquid began to rain from the ceiling. "Viola go!" the omega said as he shoved the girl out the janitor closet, slowly chasing behind her. They had to find to Scott and the others before it was too late.
After running for so long they had finally regrouped with the others only to find out that Scott had left to go and find them.
"I have to go out there." Riley said but before he could make it to the exit, Allison and the others gripped him by his sleeves, pulling him in. "You can't!" Lydia pleaded
Their eyes were full of fear, out of the three, Allison was scared the most. But why wouldn't she be? Scott was somewhere in the school probably being chased down the by the alpha by now. Riley now knew he had no other choice but to call his brother or it would be the end of all of them.
**Rickey had found himself having the time of his life with no worries, not a care in the world as he and Sid danced the night away on the countertop in the bar. Maybe it was the whiskey starting to get to his head but Sid had never looked so gorgeous. Her creamy pale skin and long ocean-wave-like hair being tossed into the air as she swung her hips while staying in place. Rickey dance moves consisted of him moving to the flow of the music that was playing. This is exactly what he needed, just for a moment or so. "Now I know how the single parents feel when they go to a club after slaving for their snot nose kids!" Rickey grinned, earning a giggle from the bartender. Rickey fun was short lived when he felt his phone vibrating in his back pocket. Before the omega could answer phone, Sidney had darted over to the jukebox, turning down the blaring music. She wouldn't be surprised if the stores around the bar could hear the music.
"You've the Rickey Stones services, how may I help you?" with a snarky grin, the omega answered the phone.
…
…
…
…
"I'm on my way." His grin had fallen when he found out his brother needed help.
"There's a vibe killer." Was all he said before leaving the bar.
