While the boys walked ahead I slowed down with Elena for girl chat.
"What's going on with you and ass-hat?"
"Ass-hat? I thought you were done with the name calling."
"Uh when my best friend arrives with Damon and not Stefan I am allowed to be judgy."
Elena sighed. "Me and Stefan broke up."
At that I stopped in my tracks. "What do you mean broke up? As in you're taking a small break or as in for good?"
She shrugged. "Somethings changed between me and Damon ever since I turned."
"Okay first of all ew! You can not having feelings for Damon, he's a manipulative asshole."
"Than what exactly was it that drove you right into his bed the moment you met him?" We had both stopped walking while the group continued.
"I didn't know what a lunatic he was."
"Funny he's always been there for me and this is exactly why I didn't want to tell you, you hate him."
I scoffed. " Yeah and I wonder why."
"How about we keep moving." Derek appeared in front of us breaking us apart before one of us started a brawl. Elena rolled her eyes catching up to Damon.
"How did I become the bad guy?" I questioned.
Derek smirked. "Let's get this over with than I can tell you all about being the bad guy."
A genuine smiled formed on my lips as I walked beside him to the creepy burned down house. Before I enter my phone went off.
"Care Stiles is fine." My mother said.
I sighed relieved. "Thank god, I'm on my way home."
"They found Stiles." I announced, "Call me with whatever you find I need to go."
"We're going to go with barbie not really up for play time with the dogs." Damon smirked earning many death glares from Isaac, Derek and Scott ,Peter on the other hand seemed indifferent.
Us vampires headed back to my house where Stiles opened the door face bruised. Instantly I embraced him.
"Who did this to you?" I questioned examining the wounds. "It was Gerard wasn't it."
Stiles pulled back. "Don't. I'm fine seriously it was nothing."
"That is not nothing. Gerard threatened my mom and now you I'm going to make him pay."
"I'm going to go with Barbie on this one, have you seen her mom? She's gorgeous." Damon smirked
"Shut up!" Me and Stiles shouted.
"Who's this guy anyways?" Stiles pointed at Damon who was outside the door not having been invited in.
"Damon Salvatore, you've already met my duller little bro." Stiles looked at him lost. "You know the one that's all brooding."
"Oh the guy with the hair."
"That's the one." Damon replied.
"Stiles can you invite them in." I interrupted their banter.
"Stiles? Seriously? Your parents have a sick sense of humor."
Stiles squinted. "I like the other brother better."
"Everyone does." I smiled innocently.
Luckily before Damon and Stiles could have some sarcastic battle when my phone went off, again.
"Derek. Did something happen?"
"Scott said Jackson's in some kind of transparent casing made from the venom coming out of his claws"
"That sounds officially terrifying." Damon remarked having heard.
"They also said he's starting to move."
"Okay well that's good. I mean he's not dead so we can still save him."
"Your blonde girlfriend has a point." I heard Peter say from the background.
"She's not-Just keep reading." Derek answered my cheeks slightly blushing. "Scott's meeting us halfway with Jackson. You and your vampire pals should hurry."
"Got it we'll be there. Don't start the action with out us."
"Wouldn't dream of it blondie."
I smiled hanging up.
"Another werewolf?" Damon asked with an arched brow.
I rolled my eyes. "Stiles you coming?"
"Actually I have someone I need to talk to."
At that I nodded.
DEREK'S POV:
Me and Peter took off knowing what needed to be done. I ran toward Scott, Isaac and Chris on all fours eyes turning red upon seeing the hunter.
"I'm here for Jackson not you."
"Somehow I don't find that very comforting, get him inside." I motioned to Isaac and Scott.
They dragged Jackson inside the abandoned warehouse.
"Where are they?" Scott questioned.
"Who?"
"Peter and Lydia."
I didn't answer as I knelt to unzip the body bag that contain the boy.
"Whoa, hold on a sec you said you knew how to save him." Scott's voice was on edge.
"We're past that."
"What about-"
"Think about it Scott! Gerard controls him now, he's turned Jackson into his own personal guard dog. And if you think Gerards done damage now wait until Jackson gets bigger and badder."
"No. he wouldn't do that. If Jackson's a dog he's gone rabid, and my father wouldn't let a rabi dog live."
"Of course not, anything that dangerous needs to be put down."
I exposed my claws ready to strike Jackson when he pierced my chest with his own claws throwing me back. Luckily tiny hands caught me steady my body up.
"I thought I told you to wait up." Caroline smiled lightening my mood.
"Enough lovey dovey where's the big bad snake anyways?" The black hair man seemed bored while his brunette girlfriend was worried.
"Remember don't get scratched." Caroline warned them.
"Got it avoid claws." The man took off at inhuman speed soon followed by Caroline and the other chick. The Kanima had Chris pinned down but the man threw him back smirking.
"You are fugly." The rest of us got into our supernatural forms Veins swelled, eyes blazing yellow (Mine red).
Damon reacted first only to get thrown back. Caroline and her friend charged but the Kanima used his tail grabbing Caroline by the throat angering me.
Instantly I kicked the Kanima back catching Caroline as she fell.
"Thanks." She smiled than returned her attention back to the fighting just in time to see Isaac get thrown. Every attempt anyone tried ended in failure and pain.
CAROLINE'S POV:
We are seriously getting our asses kicked.
I peeled myself off the floor ready to attack when I heard slashing, my head snapped to Isaac's direction where Allison was slashing him with knives.
I grabbed her by the throat holding her up.
"What is wrong with you!" I hissed while she struggled to break my grip. A sharp prick poked my hand as I felt myself grow weak.
"I've learned a few things, Like how vervain weakens a vampire." My grip was loose enough for her to kick me back.
"Bitch." I mumbled watching as she made her way toward Derek.
"No , Allison!" Scott yelled but it didn't matter the Kanima knocked her knives away gripping her by the throat.
"Care you okay?" Elena was at my side holding me up.
"Fine, she didn't use a lot."
"Not yet sweetheart." Gerard stepped forward.
"What are you doing?" Allison asked her throat still being held.
"He's doing what he came here to do." Scott answered.
"Then you know."
"What's he talking about?" While Gerard continued to talk I could feel my strength return as me and Scott made eye contact. I stood up making my way toward Derek.
"Unfortunately science doesn't have a cure for cancer yet but the supernatural does." Gerard made his way toward us.
"Caroline, what...what are you doing?" Derek was weak and it pained me but we have a plan.
DAY OF CHAMPIONSHIP GAME:
I was walking in the halls trying to figure out what I was going to do to save everyone and so far I had no idea..That's when I spotted Scott.
"McCall wait up!" I ran up to him. "I need your help." Once I begun to explain everything about Gerard threatening my mother Scott told me the same thing happened to him.
"We have to stop him."
"I know."
"Okay well how are we going to do that?" I questioned.
"We give him what he wants."
PRESENT TIME:
I lifted Derek up handing him toward Scott who dug his nails in the alphas neck. I winced at the sight.
"You didn't honestly think a vampire and a werewolf could work together did you?" Gerard stepped closer. "Although it was a good try."
Damon and Elena stayed behind me confused yet intrigued by what was happening.
"This part of the plan?" Elena whispered to me.
We all stood still watching as Scott forced Derek to bite Gerard,
The old man stepped back holding his hand up in victory. But the bite started oozing black blood.
"What the hell?" Damon questioned.
"What is this? What did you do to me!" Gerard ordered.
I smirked at Scott arms crossed. "Lets just say Gerard isn't the only guy with a plan."
"Everyone always said Gerard had a plan, so did I."
The old man pulled out his pills. "No, no, no. Mountain ash!" He crushed the pills causing gray smoke to burst.
Elena grabbed onto Damon's arm as black blood exploded from Gerard's mouth. I stepped back grossed out.
"Ew, oh god I did not expect that." I covered my face as if it were contagious. Once he fell to the ground I rushed to Derek's side.
"You okay?" I questioned worried.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
I shrugged. "You may be an alpha but I'm not one of your wolves."
He smiled as I helped him up. "Sneaky move blondie."
I opened my mouth to reply but Gerard begun to move.
"Kill them, kill them all!" He shouted.
Derek pushed me behind him in a protective stance I was getting used to.
Someone shoved the Kanima away from Allison in a blur.
"Sorry I'm late had to pick someone up." Stefan helped Allison up the same moment the Kanima tried to charge however he fell to his knee's quickly.
I turned behind me seeing Bonnie with her hands out. My whole face lite up glad to see my friend.
"Bonnie!"
She smiled back but soon got serious. "Hey Care, anyone have a plan he's fighting back."
Jackson stood up against Bonnie's witchy magic.
"Stay behind me." Derek ordered I rolled my eyes.
We all got in a fighting stance only for a familiar blue jeep to crash through the warehouse and knock the Kanima down.
"Did I get him?" I heard Stiles ask Lydia who sat in the passenger seat.
I chuckled even Damon cracked a smile.
The Kanima jumped on the jeep screeching.
Both Lydia and Stiles screamed as they rushed out of the car.
"Jackson? Jackson!" Lydia stood in front of the creature holding up a key closing her eyes in fear.
"Lydia!" Stiles tried to run toward her but I held him back.
"No, wait." The Kanima was hesitating his eyes focused on the key as he begun to turn back into Jackson.
Derek left my side the same moment Peter jumped out of nowhere both digging their claws into his stomach. Once they stopped Lydia ran to Jackson catching him.
"Do you—Do you Still.." Jackson choked out.
"I do. I do still love you I do." She cried embracing him.
I felt someone's hand entwine with mine, my eyes met his blue ones with understanding. I pressed my lips together to refrain from crying.
Damon was holding Elena's hand while Stefan watched awkwardly and I felt his pain.
"Where's the old guy?" Bonnie asked catching all of our attention.
"He couldn't have gotten far." Stefan answered.
Lydia stood up tears staining her cheeks Stiles motioned to go to her side but the sound of scratching made him stop.
Jackson got up in wolf form roaring but quickly returned to human form.
Lydia rushed into his arms causing my eyes to dart toward Stiles who was tearing up.
"Are you crying?" Damon questioned.
"He scratched my jeep" Stiles replied wiping his tears walking to his car.
I said good bye to my friends the last was Stefan. However it seemed like something other than Elena was on his mind.
"Is something wrong?"
"Klaus he uh he told me something about the hunter I'm still trying to process." I arched a brow motioning for him to continue. "He said there's a cure. A cure for vampirism."
"What?"
"Yeah..I wanted the cure for Elena I was going to take it with her grow old together but know."
"Damon. You know what I think?" He waited for me to continue. "I think one day you're going to meet a girl and you'll fall madly in love." My eyes landed to Derek's who was walking up behind Stefan. "And you'll have moved on without even realizing it."
Stefan smiled halfhearted. "It was good to see you."
"Where are you going to go?"
He shrugged. "Maybe I'll go to Australia I can live in a yurt."
I laughed. "Or you can stick around here."
"Maybe, but for now I see you have business to take care of so I'll just be somewhere else." He walked out patting Derek on the shoulder. "You hurt her I'll kill you."
I chuckled as Derek walked up beside me.
"You're friends charming."
"He's just looking out for me." I stated. "Did you know Jackson would turn into a werewolf?"
He sighed looking down. "No and I know what you're going to say 'Why would you hurt a innocent kid' but I did it to protect everyone."
"I know." My statement caused his head to snap up. "I get it sometimes sacrifices have to be made to protect the people you care about."
"The whole thing with the cure, would you take it?"
"What do you think?" I arched a brow.
He stepped closer. "I don't think you would. The girl I've gotten to know likes to be powerful and interdependent, I don't think she'd want to change that." Derek brushed a piece of my hair back. "I wouldn't want her to."
"You're right, she wouldn't.." His touch made sent shivers down my spine. "Derek.." He cupped my face planting his lips on mine. The kiss was filled with pain and passion, I could feel myself getting lost in the moment. My arms wrapped around his neck pulling him in closer intensifying the kiss.
A cough made us pull apart. Isaac smirked at us with an arched brow.
"Shut it Lahey." Derek glared. Me and Isaac laughed.
"I didn't say anything." He replied.
"I better go check on Stiles, see you around Hale." I winked than took off at inhuman speed.
DEREK'S POV:
Isaac kept smiling slightly irritating me.
"That was all very heart warming, but we have a problem." Peter came out of the shadows, strange I thought he had taken off after the fight.
Me and Isaac followed Peter back to the house where a sign was painted on the front door.
"What does it mean?" Isaac asked.
"It's their symbol. It means they're coming."
"Whose coming?"
"An Alpha pack, and they're not coming they're already here." Peter answered. The fight has just begun..
