Chapter 21: Saving An Innocent

Third Person's POV

Issac, Boyd and Derek were waiting for Kali to attack them at the loft. On the other hand, Scott, Stiles, Lydia and Cora were trying to find out Deaton and save his life as he was taken for sacrifice. However, there was absolutely no sign of Izna and Jackson. Who knew where they were and what they must be doing at the moment? Derek was worried about Izna. She wasn't even answering her calls. Is it possible that Kali went after her instead of coming to kill him? Derek killed her mate. It was possible that she would want to kill his mate. The mere thought made Derek want to leave the loft and go look for Izna. However when he was contemplating the idea of leaving, Issac spoke up-

"Isn't the light on that supposed to be on?"

"Yeah" replied Derek. Already sensing something fishy going on.

"What does it mean if it's not?" asked Issac with fear in his voice because he also realized that the danger is already here.

"Someone cut the auxiliary power" said Derek worriedly.

"What about the main..." Before Boyd could complete his sentence the lights turned off.

"Derek... What do we do now?" asked Issac because their brilliant plan of shocking Kali just failed disastrously. Derek sighed out sharply and said-

"We fight."

Just as Derek said that the loft door opened and the menacing female alpha entered the place. She looked around. Derek was already changed into his wolf form. But that didn't worry Kali at all. A sinister smile was gracing her lips. Kali's mere demeanor screams dangerous and deadly.

"Gonna be honest, Derek. When Ennis died, I thought to myself I'd just go for it. Find you and kill you, wherever you stood. Then I remembered how you surround yourself with these teenagers, hiding behind them, and I thought, what's a girl got to do to get you alone?" Suddenly Ethan and Aiden appeared there with Ms. Blake. Keeping her as a hostage. A look of fear covering the English teacher's face as she sobbed lightly.

"Well personally, I would've preferred for your mate to be in her position but I just couldn't find her anywhere. But since you care about innocent humans, I guess she will do fine" said Kali with a smile as Ethan and Aiden effortlessly kept a leash on Ms. Blake.

"So what do you say? You and me Derek, or they tear her apart. You think you can beat me one on one?" asked Kali tauntingly. Derek was fuming with anger.

"I'm gonna rip your throat out with my teeth" saying that Derek attacked Kali while Issac and Boyd stayed out of the action to keep Ms. Blake from getting killed.

Derek fought but Kali was stronger than him. The young alpha could merely defend himself and hardly got the chance to attack Kali. Everyone else just stood there and watched while the two of them fought. The water on the floor violently splashed as two alphas battled in it. At one point Kali had Derek in her clutches and she could've ripped his head off however she or should say Deucalion had other plans for the young alpha which would be spoiled if Derek's dead. But Kali did come to kill someone. Her eyes turned to the betas, Issac and Boyd. Deucalion wanted Derek to kill one of his betas which Derek would never do. So, Kali's task was quite simple here. Make Derek do what Deucalion wanted him to do. Kali looked at the twins and nodded her head at them. Aiden stepped forward while Ethan kept holding onto Ms. Blake. Aiden walked up to Kali and a struggling Derek. Issac and Boyd were on the verge of attacking them but then Ms. Blake would be dead and Derek would never forgive them for that. He obviously thought anyone's life was more valuable than his. Aiden wrapped his arms around Derek and held him down. Kali walked over to Boyd and Issac like a cat. She was deciding in her mind which one to pick. Derek realized what Kali was planning on doing and he struggled against Aiden more violently.

"Issac, Boyd run." Derek yelled for them.

"A-a you run, she dies." Threatened Kali sweetly pointing at Ms. Blake.

"How about you leave before we kill you?" A voice spoke up that shocked everyone in the room and Derek felt sick in his guts with fear.

"Izna." He gasped, frightened very much. What the hell is she doing here? She knew Kali is here. The deadly female alpha could kill her in a blink of an eye. Has she lost her mind?

"Ah! The seer soul mate of Derek. Where were you sweetheart? I've been looking everywhere for you" spoke up Kali with such friendly and sweet tone of voice as if they were very good friends. Just as Kali attempted to approach her, the Kanima appeared there and wrapped itself around Izna protectively.

"I see you brought your body guard with you. Smart" praised Kali however she didn't look troubled at all. As if everything was still going according to her plan.

"So what were you saying about killing me?" asked Kali not worried at all.

"If you don't leave right now, we are going to kill you" said Izna with dead seriousness.

"We as in you and the Kanima? Honey, if that lizard comes anywhere near me, Ethan there is going to rip her head off" said Kali flickering her eyes towards Ms. Blake. Izna stayed quiet for a moment. Then a smirk appeared on her lips.

"Jackson" said Izna commanding the Kanima to kill someone however the person wasn't Kali. The Kanima crawled towards Ms. Blake which stunned not only Kali but the entire pack including Ethan and Aiden. It confused them to no limit. Ms. Blake's eyes widened with fear as the Kanima approached her.

"Wha.. what? What are you doing?" Ms. Blake stammered with fear and tried to hide behind Ethan who she was struggling against the entire time.

"Izna?" Derek looked at her with questioning and utterly confused eyes. What was she doing?

"I'm sorry Ms. Blake. I can't risk everyone's life just to save yours. If you die we can easily take down Kali since you are the only one that's keeping Issac and Boyd from fighting with Derek" said Izna and she truly sounded apologetic but a little nonchalant as well. The Kanima was inches away from Ms. Blake. Any moment and it would attack her and tear her into pieces. But it was waiting for something. It was waiting for the last command from it's master.

"Izna what are you doing?" Derek couldn't believe his own ears and eyes. How could Izna be so willing to kill someone innocent? Was she doing this out of jealousy? Even Kali looked baffled at Izna's action. Boyd and Issac were speechless. They never thought Izna could be so heartless. What happened to her? Has she always been like this or something sinister got into her?

"What needs to be done Derek" replied Izna without looking at Derek. Her eyes were solely focused on Ms. Blake and the Kanima. The English teacher was shaking with fear by that time.

"Let's call it a necessary sacrifice." Izna emphasized on the word sacrifice. Ms. Blake's eyes widened immediately however for a moment only. No one else but Izna noticed it. Ms. Blake finally understood Izna's behavior. Before she could do anything, come up with a plan, perhaps another lie, Izna made her move.

"Kill her Jackson" said Izna with emotionless tone of voice. The Kanima immediately hissed. It was so scary that even Ethan backed away. Ms. Blake whimpered for a moment, begged to be spared but then suddenly she stopped looking like an innocent victim and glared at Izna dangerously. Finally dropping her act.

"You little bitch." She spat at Izna angrily. It stunned the pack even more than before however Izna remained unaffected by it. The Kanima raised it's claws to strike her but Ms. Blake's eyes went white and she pushed the Kanima away from her using some kind of invisible force. Everyone else except for Izna froze at their spots.

"What bloody hell?" Issac blurted out in a gasp.

"Where is Dr. Deaton?" Izna asked without wasting any time. She sounded angry. Very angry. This Darach has killed many people already and planning on killing more people. People she knew and cared about. Sheriff, Melissa, Chris Argent all of them are going to be her victims in the future. Izna has seen it. But she won't let it happen. Never.

"Wait, she is the Darach?" Issac questioned with disbelieve in his voice. But there was no doubt. It was already proven that Ms. Blake is the Darach. Everyone also understood why Izna asked the Kanima to kill her. She did it so that Ms. Blake would reveal herself in front of them. There was no other way for her to prove it.

"Do you wanna know where Dr. Deaton is?" Ms. Blake's voice sounded pure evil this time. After all she didn't need to hide anymore. "He is in hell." And with that she ran away. The action snapped back some senses into everyone.

"Catch her." Kali yelled at Ethan and Aiden. Obviously the pack of Alphas already knew of the Darach's real intention. Why was she sacrificing so many people? Kali looked at Izna but didn't say anything. She looked back at Derek then.

"Some other time." With that Kali also left. Once the pack of alphas left, Izna ran to Derek and embraced him tightly.

"Are you alright? I'm so sorry I couldn't get here before the fight started." Izna said and she sincerely sounded apologetic. Derek kissed her face and lips with overwhelming feelings. Boyd and Issac looked away to give the couple some privacy. Jackson on the other hand went upstairs to change back into his human form and get dressed.

"No no you got here right on time. Kali would've made me kill Boyd and Issac" said Derek kissing Izna quickly on her lips but passionately.

"Derek, we need to find Dr. Deaton. He's still alive. He has to be" said Izna with anxiousness as she broke the kiss.

"Don't worry, Scott and Stiles figured it out already where he is. They are going to that place right now to rescue him." Informed Issac. Hearing that Izna sighed out in relief.

"How did you know she is the Darach?" Derek wondered about it.

"Well the fact that she was interested in you made me suspicious a long time ago that she is something wicked" said Izna making Derek roll his eyes at her. Issac and Boyd snickered at that quietly. "And then I just needed to see a vision to confirm it."

"Oh yeah. Well you are in love with me. So how wicked are you?" Derek asked smirking at Izna. She titled her head a little at him.

"What made you think I'm in love with you?" She asked playfully. Derek pulled her closer to him by wrapped his arms around her waist.

"This" saying that Derek crushed his lips on hers and kissed her passionately. Izna kissed him back just as much passionately if not more. Their lips moved against each other in sync. The sensation they felt was pure heavenly.

"Get a room you two." Came Jackson's voice. A hint of jealousy in his tone. Everyone knew that Jackson has a huge crush on Izna and moreover he was bonded with her. Even though Jackson has accepted her being Derek's mate, he really didn't need to witness intimacy between them. Izna pulled away from Derek and giggled while Derek glared at Jackson and growled at him. Jackson glared right back at him.

"Jackson, are you alright?" Izna asked with concern. Derek rolled his eyes at that. Now he was feeling jealous.

"Yeah I'm fine." Jackson replied appreciating Izna's concern.

"Are you sure? Because the Darach did kick your Kanima ass pretty badly" commented Issac with a smug smirk and earned a glare from Jackson.

"Be thankful that it wasn't your werewolf ass that she kicked. Because then you wouldn't be standing here right now." Jackson retorted back. Issac opened his mouth to argue back but Izna cut in.

"Okay boyz, chill out. Don't forget we are not out of danger yet. Now that the Darach is exposed to us, it's gonna try and speed up all the killings that it has yet to happen. I've seen the Darach sacrificing Stiles' dad, Scott's mom and Allison's father. We can't let it happen." Izna said with determination in her voice. Derek, Issac and Boyd were shocked to hear about them.

"Of course we won't let anything happen to them" said Derek with strong tone of voice.

"What about Deucalion and Kali? They aren't just gonna forget about us" said Issac bringing everyone's attention to the pack of alphas.

"You're right but I've a feeling they're gonna deal with us after taking care of the Darach since she is up to killing them all and she could kill them if she could complete the sacrifices" said Izna making everyone think one thing. They needed to protect the victims that the Darach is going to target for sacrifice. Even though the Darach wanted to kill the pack of alphas and they are evil and should be killed but the Darach's way of gaining power was eviler. Derek and the pack couldn't let innocent people die. Especially people like the Sheriff and Melissa. And Chris Argent was worth saving as well. And not just them, no other innocent human was going to be sacrificed in Beacon Hills. No one.
