48 hours wasn't long enough to come up with a full proof plan but it was long enough to come up with some sort of plan especially with the master mind stiles behind it. We gathered at Derek's loft after Deucalion left as he gave me this time to say goodbye and the only person that knew I was going to leave was Derek and we both decided it would be easier to keep it that way just in case we did actually defeat him. Whilst we were trying to plan I was on edge and so was Derek actually everyone was on edge as they knew that this was going to be the fight of their lives.

"So we are trying to kill him right?"

"Well would we all be here if we were going to let him go?"

"True point but no need to be smug about it sour wolf."

"Look we are going to get nowhere if we continue to argue."

"To be honest there isn't a lot to talk about as you are the only one strong enough to take him down."

"No but he is expecting that we need the element of surprise."

"What about us?" said Allison entering the loft with her dad who surprisingly was nodding that he was willing to help us. Chris really did want to stay out of the werewolf business but he could see that it wasn't going to go away until Deucalion had gone.

"I will not let you get involved as you will get yourself killed."

They both look offended at the accusation. "We can take care of ourselves." I would never doubt that they couldn't easily take me down if they didn't want to but still why did nobody get that I wouldn't let people get hurt for me, this was my battle to fight and I needed to do it.

Stiles I knew would get involved one way or another but to be honest I needed him on my side and with me throughout this so he had to be there. If I went in alone then I would have to go with him or destroy him and completely lose myself. Stiles would not fight but would be there as more of a support.

"I don't want any of you to get hurt on my account."

"We can't remember only you can kill us."

"But he is a hell of a lot stronger than I am so he will try to force me into killing you."

"Then fight it." Stiles said from the outskirts of the room. "Remember who you are Scott and it will all be okay and I will be by your side the whole time."

"You really don't need to as I will be fine." Honestly I was lying through my teeth I needed him there but I couldn't act like I couldn't handle myself in a fight.

"No as I know what you will do if you go in alone, you will leave with him Scott and I can't lose my best friend, my brother."

If they were all so insistent on coming Allison and her dad as well they needed training and I couldn't be the one to do it as I was meant to be at home saying good bye to my mum as we were leaving at midnight tomorrow. The twins were insistent that they could train them in a couple of hours to help fight Deucalion but I was a bit worried about that as they still couldn't beat him but anything was worth a shot.

I made my way back to my house and I knew he was following me but I carried on walking and when I reached my house he was still following me. I went into my house and ran up stairs to my room and got changed before going down stairs to see my mum cooking dinner.

"hey mum, how was work?"

"Good, actually I have a patient coming over in a bit."

"Is that allowed?"

"They don't stay at the hospital silly, they came to talk to you."

"Me?"

"Yeah about volunteering to help out as the ward they have their checkups on is looking for volunteers and he knows I have a son so they thought that they could persuade you."

"Oh right what's their name? I don't want to seem rude when I meet them."

"Duke."

Right so he was going to be in my house with my innocent mum and this was not going to end well for me. I never tell my mum what the villains are like unless they are after her and I never thought it would come to this. But it was quite a clever excuse to come into my house. It was just how long until he was here as I needed my mum out of the house. I quickly text Stiles who got the ER phone number off his dad and made his phone a private number and rang my mum. She picked up the phone and looked quite flustered after.

"You okay?" #

"Yeah they need me at work as they a short staffed, will you be okay on your ow when duke comes over?"

"Yeah he is only coming to talk to me."

"I suppose so I will see you later."

I knew I didn't have long as she would be back quite soon once she realises it was Stiles but I needed her out of the house. All of a sudden he was in my living room standing in front of me.

"What no knock on the door?"

"You no me I don't do niceities."

"So what is it that you want now? I thought we were leaving tomorrow."

"We are but I am giving you a message to give to your pack."

"I have already told them it is my decision and I am leaving with you."

"Well on my way here I overheard them talking in the woods about how they are going to kill me to keep you here, on an ambush attack."

How could they have been so stupid, talking about it in the open especially when we know that he is everywhere all of the time. It is sometimes that our thoughts are okay. Seriously I left there an hour ago and they have already gone to the woods and spoken out loud what their plan is. Sometimes it is like I have a pack of toddlers, but I couldn't be mad at them as they were doing this for me.

"What is the message then?"

"If they try anything tomorrow to stop you from going with me, the last thing you will see is your mum in a puddle of her own blood. Get it they try anything and your mum dies."
