Who's ready for school? Not Cass! I don't own Teen Wolf!
Chapter 12
Scott and Stiles managed to keep me from running back towards the Alpha and Derek's body. I kept struggling, of course, screaming for Derek and hoping that he would be alright. Of course, I knew he was still alive, but this was really happening to me and I now know what it feels like to have your heart ripped out.
We burst through the school doors and Scott kept hold of me while Stiles secures the doors with his belt. Once he accomplished that, I broke free from my friend's grip and began to pound the doors.
"DEREK!" I screamed, tears forming in my eyes. "DEREK!"
"Cass!" Stiles turns me so I could face him. "I'm sorry," he says in a sorrowful tone. "but Derek is dead. You saw the Alpha kill him. I'm sorry, Cass, but he's gone."
I shook my head. "He can heal Stiles. Anytime he's injured, he could heal." I looked up at him and Scott with tears starting to trail down my face. "Please," I begged, voice cracking with emotion. "Please tell me that he's still not on the ground. Please tell me Derek is still alive!"
The two looked at each other before looking back at me. They nodded and Scott looks out the window of one of the doors while Stiles tries to comfort me, keep me calm in case we face the Alpha again.
"The Camaro is still in its space," Scott reported from the window. My heart stopped at that. "but Derek is gone!" He looked at me and I rushed forward to look out the other window.
Sure enough, the Camaro was still there, but Derek wasn't. My heart resumed beating as I took in the fact that Derek is still alive. Hurt, but still alive.
"We need to find a way out of here." Scott told us. "The Alpha could still be around. We have to keep moving."
No shit, Sherlock! I thought as we ran through the hallways.
We came to a hallway that showed the parking lot with Stiles Jeep in it. Squinting my eyes, I knew out plans to escape has gotten a lot harder.
"Uh, Stiles?" I called to him. The boys came running back to me. "I think the Alpha busted your Jeep." I pointed and they looked. Stiles began to freak out as I knew he would.
Cue the battery through the window in 3…2…1
Smash! Something comes hurtling through the window.
"Isn't that your Jeep's battery?" Scott asked his best friend.
"Shit, Dad's going to kill me!" Stiles whined.
I heard the Alpha running across the roof towards the open window. "The Alpha will!" I shouted. "RUN!"
We ran through several more hallways until we made it to the locker rooms. Stiles opened the door, then closed and locked it once the three of us was inside. We heard sniffing on the other side and I felt the scars on my hand tingle as the Alpha paced in front of the door for a moment before walking away.
Stiles let out a sigh of relief. "Phew, that was a close one!" he commented, then looked at Scott and I. "Now what are we going to do?"
"We find somewhere else to go." I said with a stern voice. They looked at me like I was crazy. "Well, the Alpha knows we are in here so it may find another way in." Weird noises started to come from the ceiling above us. "Hate it when I'm right!"
We ran towards the door, but it unlocked itself and the night janitor walked in. He saw us in the locker room and instantly became mad.
What are you three doing here?" he demanded. "The school is closed! I will report you for trespassing!"
I just sighed and bolted past him with Scott and Stiles in tow. We got out just in time for the Alpha decides to appear and killed the janitor. I lead the boys as far from the locker rooms as possible. As we rounded the corner, I ran into another human.
"Ouch!" The person said. It was Allison.
"Allison, what are you doing here?!" Scott asked, worried.
"You sent me a text to meet you here." She showed her phone. "Jackson and Lydia are here as well. They didn't want me to come alone."
I gulped, knowing what is going on and could predict the events before they happen. "Allison, Scott doesn't have a phone." She looked confused. "You, Jackson, and Lydia were lured here to be with us." Panic began to set in all of us. "It's a trap! We have to find Jackson and Lydia!"
We ran until we found the couple freaking out. Allison runs up to them and asked what happened.
"The janitor is dead." Jackson replied in a dead tone voice.
"Who killed him?" Allison asked.
"It was-" Scott began.
"Scott, don't you dare!" I glared at him.
"Have to do something, Cass." He whispered to me.
"If he kills you, don't come back to haunt me after I warned you."
Scott rolled his eyes. "It's Derek Hale. He was the one who lured us here. He's the one who murdered the janitor."
Hope there is a place where I can shift in peace. I thought to myself as everyone believed that my own boyfriend was the cause of all this. I need a place to calm…Wait! Calm?! That's it!
"We need to get to the chemistry room," I ordered. "we will defend each other better there."
"Why there?" Jackson demanded.
"We could use the chemicals to defend us!" I began to run off. "Come on!"
I led the way to the chemistry room and I could sense the pain in the ass Alpha tracking us. We got into the room and locked it. Once we caught out breath, I began to dish out orders.
"Stiles, call your dad. Tell him that we are at the school and to bring back up." Stiles began dialing on his phone. "Lydia, do you know how to make a self-destruct Molotov cocktail?" The red head nods. "Alright begin putting one together. Jackson, Allison, help her! Give her the chemicals needed and follow her instructions." They headed to the cabinets and got to work. "Scott, you and I are going to take the fight to the Alpha."
"No, you should stay here!" Scott exclaimed. "I will do it by myself."
I stared him in his eyes. "Listen, brother!" That got his complete attention. "I'm coming with you. I have a plan, but it needs both of us to cooperate."
Scott just stared at me for a moment before nodding. Stiles just got off his phone and announced the police are on their way. Lydia, Jackson, and Allison finished the cocktail and handed it to Scott.
"Alright, Scott and I are going to lure the Alpha away from this area as far as possible." I told the others. "Keep the door locked until one of us gets back or when the police arrive." Scott was at the door, itching to go. "Be careful and stay safe. This will be over before it gets any worse." With that Scott and I left the room, Stiles locking the door behind us.
We began wandering the hallways, looking for the Alpha. Scott wanted this to be over with so that he doesn't have to worry about losing Allison and continue seeing her. I just wanted to tear the big bad wolf apart and burn his remains. No one hurts Derek and gets away with it. There was a fork that led down two separate hallways: one to the gymnasium and the other leading to the room that I need to use for my plan.
"You take the left." I told Scott. "I'll take the right. We will meet back here if we don't find anything."
Scott nods. "Be careful!"
"Same to you."
We split up and I bolted to the music room. Remember the time Scott almost killed me until I started singing? Well, the Alpha is about to hear the voice of a fairy. I entered the music room and began to get to work. I plugged in a couple of amps and put them to full blast. Then, I found an electric violin and activated its wireless receiver so it can connect with the amps. Finally, I chose the song to play and waited for my signal.
A loud, bloodcurdling howl was heard throughout the entire building. My scars begun to burn, but I ignored it and wedged the violin between my head and shoulder. I played Titanium by David Guetta, violin style. The song won't be out until next year, but this was important that I send a message out to the Alpha. My message is this: I'm not afraid of you.
"I'm bulletproof; Nothing to lose!" I sang as I played. The music could be heard throughout the school, but I really wanted to get my message out. "Fire away, Fire away! Ricochet as you take your aim; Fire Away, Fire Away! You shoot me down, but I won't fall! I am Titanium! You shoot me down, but I won't fall! I am Titanium!"
I finished singing and stopped playing as a big black wolf with glowing red eyes entered through the door that I had left open. He looked at me with an amused look on his furry face. I glared at him for hurting the one man I have fallen in love with.
"That was… beautiful." The beast said to me as it walked into the room. I watched him closely. "I can see why Derek has become infatuated with you."
"He never heard me sing," I told the crazy Alpha. "or seen me play an instrument before. The only thing he knows about me is that I can write fiction novels."
"Why write stories of make believe when you can write about the truth?"
I sneered at him. "The unreal make more sense than the reality we live in. For example," I pointed the violin bow at the wolf. "werewolves are supposed to be horror stories that people tell each other just to scare themselves shitless." I swear I saw a smirk on that wolfish face. "Yet, if you read between the lines, you could find facts that lead up to the point that werewolves do exist."
The Alpha looked please with my answer. "You are a clever girl, Cassandra." Crap, he remembers my name! "Who are you really?"
"Go mate with a banshee." I told him.
"Feisty, aren't we?" The big bad wolf made its way towards me.
"You know," I said loudly. "if you are planning to kill a girl" Got the violin ready and bow in hand. "don't corner her near the sound system!" I played the violin incorrectly to create enough feedback to paralyze the beast with the high pitch sound.
He cowered in pain as the sound waves damaged his hearing, making him immobile for a while. It hurt my ears as well, but I healed them when the wolf was looking the other way. I dropped everything and ran out of the room towards the nearest exit. Once outside I activated my wings and flew to the other side of the parking lot where Derek's Camaro was parked.
I landed in the lot and hid my wings before looking around. The Camaro was gone, but it wasn't stolen. Derek's scent was fresh and I let out a sigh of joy. He was alive, manage to leave before the police came, and is safe. The sirens sounded all around me and I could hear the others leaving the school towards them. My legs suddenly felt weak, my eyes drooped, and a major headache was kicking in.
I began to fall, but was caught in time by Scott and Stiles who saw that I was about to faint.
"Thanks for the save, you guys." I whispered to them, a small smile forming on my lips.
"Thank you saving us!" Stiles said, looking concern.
"Yeah, thanks!" Scott smiled down at me. "Your music and Allison brought me back to my senses."
My smile brightens and grown upon hearing that, then I passed out in their arms.
I awoke in my bed, covered in a blanket. I smirked as I recall a certain scene from Sherlock that had the consulting detective use a shock blanket to avoid being question by Detective Inspector Lestrade. Scott came in with a glass of water, no doubt he thought of that when he heard me stirring.
"How long?" I asked, knowing he knew what I meant.
"Two hours." He said, handing me the water. I took it and drank it gratefully.
There was a moment of silence. Neither of us said anything until Scott said what was on his chest.
"Allison broke up with me."
I gave him a hug. "It's her loss, you know. She will never know how much you love her." A memory returned to me and I got up to search my closet. "I was going to wait until Christmas or your birthday," I grabbed a box wrapped in TARDIS blue wrapping paper. "but you need a bit of cheering up." I tossed him the present. "Open it!"
Scott ripped off the paper and opened the box. "A new iPhone?!"
"It's the latest edition." I told him, sitting back down next to him. "If Derek destroys this one, then I'm going to kill him."
"You won't."
"Yeah, I won't."
We laughed for a while until our sides hurt. Scott recovered enough to talk.
"Any word from Derek?" he asked.
I shrugged. "Not since you made him Prime Suspect #1." Scott turned red from embarrassment. "I haven't heard from him yet. He's probably still healing from those dreadful wounds. I will call him tomorrow to see if he's okay."
Scott nodded, and then said good night. He left the room and I turned out the lights before going to bed in the clothes I was wearing.
A/N: Who liked the reference to Sherlock? I had Cass pull a 10th Doctor because it just seemed perfect. I was listening to Titanium on my iPod and the lyrics seemed to tell a lot about Cass. Next update soon! See ya! * runs off to find Derek Hale*
