Sorry I suck at writing fight scenes. Also I had initially had Steve trapping the pack in the house with mountain ash but it just seemed too hokey the way I had it written so I yanked that bit.
From Stiles: Dude open the door we're here.
Isaac hears a pounding and wakes up. He looks at Eric who is still unconscious. Isaac jumps out of bed and rushes to the front door. "Isaac." Derek gets out before Isaac turns to head back in to the house "He's back here!" The pack follows Derek in to the house and crowds back in to the master bedroom. "Please tell me." Isaac's breath stutters as he keens softly. "Please tell me you know where this guy is the lines are almost to his heart." The word heart more of a sob than a word. "We do." Derek says. We knew time would be short so we want to bring him with us. Come on."
Minutes later they are all piled in to the rental van and are flying down the street towards Steve's home. The area is somewhat rural with large lots. Steve's address has a larger rundown home surrounded by overgrown shrubs and trees. Pulling up in front of the house and Derek has to grab Isaac's arm to halt the wolfed out man. "That's the truck that ran us off the road." Isaac says through fanged teeth as he shifts. Looking at the house a moment Derek starts "One heartbeat, probably already knows we're here Jackson, Scott take the back door, Isaac you're with me Stiles, you stay with Eric. Jackson and Scott bolt from the van splitting so they can meet at the back of the house. Derek and Isaac race up to the front door. "Isaac wait!" Derek yells. Isaac doesn't even knock. He kicks through the door destroying it easily. Derek shakes his head and races in behind Isaac watching for traps. They find Steve Struggling in Scott's arms as he hauls him back in to the house. "You!" Isaac roars grabbing Steve by the throat he slams him into a wall and then down to the floor. Steve struggles in vain to fight back while Isaac pummels him mercilessly. "Isaac! We need him alive!" Derek roars and pulls the frenzied beta off the bloody and battered Steve. Scott and Jackson struggle to hold Isaac back. Isaac lets loose with a window rattling roar of fury second only to Derek practically throwing both betas off in his struggle to get to Steve. "My mate Derek he poisoned my mate!" "If you kill him we may not find what we need in time Isaac, we need to be looking not keeping you from being stupid think!" Scott implores the furious man. "Isaac, Eric is OK but we don't have time." Comes Stile's voice from the van. "We need the cure, kill him later, talk to him now." Isaac stills immediately "Yes Stiles." He says even though Stiles won't be able to hear him. He fixes Steve with a murderous glint in his eye. Knowing Isaac's back under control Derek turns to the other wolves."Scott, Jackson, look for the wolfs bane."
Steve says coughing and spitting up blood. "I knew injecting your little pack bitch would bring you here. You come to MY town, spreading your stink and expect me to just sit idly by." Derek sneers at Steve. "Your town, a weak little Omega like you claims all of Fort Worth." "What's your plan then, you wanted us here. What are you going to do to be rid of us?" Isaac growls stepping forward menacingly. " Steve smiles. "Oh not me. You see I may be cursed but I my brothers didn't abandon me I don't work alone. No we'll sit right here till the calvary arrives. "That may be true." Isaac say growling lowly and stepping towards Steve. "But you're trapped in here with us." "ah ah ahhh." Steve says "Touch me and you'll never get the cure for your pack slut. I imagine he probably doesn't have much time left." "Guys we've got company" Comes Stiles voice from outside. Isaac stops suddenly a look of fear on his face. He pulls his phone out and calls Stiles. "STILES get Eric out of here!" By now Scott and Jackson had returned to the living room. "I'm not leaving you guys here!" Stiles resists. "Derek yells knowing Stiles will hear over the phone. "Stiles you're too vulnerable there get Eric out of here we'll so it just like the time with the witches last year but you have to go NOW." "Stiles PLEASE get him away from here please." Isaac pleads. "OK I'm going but I don't like it and I better have good news soon." Derek takes the phone from Isaac and shoves it in his pocket. Just then a SUV pulls up outside. Even though there was truth to Steve's words all the wolves could also sense his uncertainty and fear. "Everyone stay calm" Derek stresses. "Something's not right about this." Scott says looking at Steve curiously.
A moment later six hunters walk in. "Steve what have you done now?" One of them says wearily. "They invaded our territory and turned one of our citizens!" He says angrily. "That's not true!" Scott says angrily eyes flashing. The hunters tense and the leader turns to Derek. "Alpha control your dog or this will get messy." "Why don't we just put them down, it's been a long week." The hunter in the back of the group says moving his gun to point at the two betas. "Shut up Turner." One of the other hunters says. Derek looks at Jackson and Scott and minutely shakes his head no." The two men relax slightly. "Good" says the hunter leader. He turns to Derek. "Alpha, I am Reginald Scott you've been accused of turning one of our citizens, care to explain?" "He is obviously unstable. One of my pack was in town with a friend. Your" Derek gestures dismissively at Steve. "Whatever this is attacked our friend and injected him with wolfs bane. He's currently unconscious and close to death. At the right dose wolfs bane is just as lethal to humans as it is wolves. I honestly don't know what he was trying to accomplish maybe our friend smelled like a wolf and Steve got scared. We want the antidote now." Isaac growls lowly. Reginald turns to look at Isaac. "You're not about to complicate matters by going feral are you son?" Isaac scowls "He poisoned my mate how would you feel if we attacked your wife at work and poisoned her." Finishing with flashing eyes.
Reginald shakes his head and sighs. "Steve….." "They are lying!" Steve yells. "He's some kind of human wolf half breed he smells like a wolf but he isn't." Steve rants. Reginald looks annoyed. "Smells like a wolf? Could it be because he spends time with wolves and is mated to one?" "He's the only threat here! We've done nothing wrong, your wolf has attacked my pack." pointing at Steve Derek says shouting. "What is the human's name?" Reginald asks. "Eric Anderson." One of the hunters pulls out a pda and starts typing. He quickly looks up and shakes his head. "I don't care if he is on the list or not! He's a wolf I've been watching them for days I'm it's only a matter of time before they turn his roommate!" Steve insists. "How long have you been watching?" Reginald asks. "Three days." Steve replies. "When did you inject him?" "Five hours ago." Derek answers. "God damn it Steve and he's still alive? You know that means he's human right? A wolf would have been dead within the hour!" Reginald yells. Steve tries to shrink in on himself "I I I I'm telling you he's not human." Reginald looks at one of his men. "I made the last batch stronger than usual after the last." He pauses and looks at Derek. "There's no way he'd still be alive."
The wolves in the room are confused by all this but can tell the hunters are telling the truth. Reginald shakes his head and looks at Derek. "Where is he we can give him the antidote and provide additional care if there are complications." The wolves are silent a moment so he continues. "We don't hurt humans, and we don't hunt wolves that don't cause trouble." "Only one of you will be allowed near him." Derek says. Isaac stiffens but says silent. Hearing the rental van pull up out front Derek gestures to the door "He is out front." Pulling the phone out of his pocket that had been on speaker the whole time. Derek adds "We're coming out Stiles one of the hunters will administer the antidote." He hangs up the phone and tosses it back to Isaac. Reginald leads the way out. Saying over his shoulder "Don't go anywhere Steve." Stiles opens the side door of the van before retreated back to the front and drawing a pistol. Reginald sees this and scoffs.
"Humans and wolves, when will you people learn. Mark is our medic he will be able to give the antidote and know right away if anything else is needed." Mark pulls a small zipper pouch from his pocket and walks cautiously towards the van. Isaac moves forward growling and partially shifting which causes the hunters to raise their weapons. "It's OK" Reginald says. "They are trusting us with an injured pack member and mate let him get closer." Isaac shoves past Mark and quickly enters the van. He cradles Eric's head in his lap with a whimper running his hands through the unconscious mans hair. "You'll be the first to die if this doesn't work." He growls out not taking his eyes off Eric's pained face. "Let's get this over with." Derek says and Mark enters the van. He pulls a small syringe from his pouch and injects Eric with it. "This is a concentrated strain it should take affect pretty fast." As he is speaking the black veins on Eric slowly start to fade. Mark pulls a scope out and checks Eric's pulse after a moment he says what the wolves could already hear. Eric's heart rate and breathing were returning to normal. Seconds later Eric's eyes flutter open. He looks up into Isaac's worried blue eyes. "Isaac." he says with a weak smile. With a wracked sob Isaac pulls Eric up in to a crushing hug. "Get out." He growls looking up with burning yellow eyes. Mark backs out of the van still under the watchful gaze of an armed and scowling Stiles.
"I believe we are through here Alpha. It would be best if we not encounter each other again." Reginald says dismissively "If you'll excuse me I have a problem to remedy." Then he turns back to the house. The pack loads in to the van. As Stiles pulls away Isaac hears Steve begging from the house "Please Reggie I promise it won't happen again!" Unable to punish the man who'd attacked his mate. Isaac is satisfied to know Steve won't be escaping . "Am I done almost dying yet?" Eric says with exasperation. Isaac gives him a squeeze. "Yes thank god I'm never letting you out of my site again." Derek Scott and Jackson all squeeze around Isaac and Eric trying to make physical contact. "Careful guys I could get used to all this attention." Eric says closing his eyes and snuggling in to Isaac's side while wrapping and arm around Derek. "Rest, we'll be home soon." Scott says from the floor where he's leaning up against one of Eric's legs. "That's just a house home is right here." Eric says reaching out and hooking his fingers in one of the belt loops of Stile's pants so that he was in contact with everyone. Stiles looks in the mirror at all the relieved faces and grins happily.
