Chapter 21: They're gone
Scott woke up with a blazing headache. Wait, why did he have a headache? Werewolves don't get headaches. He tried to get up and felt pain surge through his body. He looked down at his body only to find scrape marks all over it. What was the last thing that happened? He was at Derek's, then Deucalion… oh. Oh. Now he remembered.
He looked around the loft and saw Chris, Allison, Peter and Isaac sitting in a corner. He tried to get up, wincing at the pain, but still got up, and walked over to the four figures. As he walked closer, he saw Chris was waking up.
"Hey, Chris!" Scott slapped his face a little before he woke up.
"Huh….? Where am I?" Allison?" He looked at Allison who was still unconscious. "Allison!" He got up and ran towards her. Scott wasn't worried because he could hear Allison's heartbeat and her breathing steadily. Chris checked for injuries. There were none. He sighed in relief.
"What happened?" He asked Scott.
"Deucalion knew all along." Scott answered.
"And?" Chris said clearly asking Scott to continue.
"Then Derek and I tried to fight off Deucalion and that's all I remember." He recalled thinking of his mom, but that was – wait, his mom! Where was his mom?! "Where's my mom?!" He asked in a panicked voice.
"She's in there." Chris pointed to another room. Scott ran into it and found his mom sprawled over the floor. Her hands were clenched.
"Mom!" As if on cue, his moms took a loud, deep, breathe at that moment and started breathing rapidly. When she calmed down, her first question was "Is he dead?"
"Not exactly." Was Scott's reply. Melissa gave Scott a confused expression.
"What does that mean?" Scott explained to his mom.
"So where's Derek now?"
"I don't know. He's not here." Melissa nodded. Scott helped his mom get off the floor and walk out the room. Peter and Isaac were still not awake, but Allison's eyes were open looking at her dad. Chris turned to Scott and Allison followed suit.
"So what are we going to do now?" Allison asked Scott.
"We're not going to do anything." Chris said. "I said we were done after this and I meant it."
"But Deucalion still isn't dead. Meaning we're not done."
"Yes we are, Allison. Let's go."
"No! I want to help." She turned to Scott expectantly.
"Well first, we have to find Derek."
"Allison! I said we were done, so we're done. No buts. Come on." Allison just stood there crossing her arms. "Is this going to happen every time Scott gets into trouble? 'Cause if it is, this is never gonna stop." Allison just glared at her dad. Chris let out a long sigh.
"Where does Derek usually go at this hour?" Allison smiled secretly knowing that her dad would always be on her side.
"He usually goes for a picnic in the park." A sarcastic but hurt voice answered. Everyone turned to the source of the voice to see Peter getting up and brushing himself off.
"Haha, very funny." Chris said not amused.
"I don't know. And I'm quite certain Scott doesn't know either." Scott nodded agreeing with Peter.
"Great, so now we've got a lost werewolf, and we don't know where he usually goes." Chris threw his hands in the air.
"Oh don't get your panties in a knot. He'll be back. He probably just needs some time alone." Peter says as if he knows everything in the world.
"What time is it?" Melissa asks. Scott looks at his watch.
"6:30p.m."
"I don't know about you werewolves but I'm beat. I'm heading home, come on Allison." Allison glanced at Scott for a bit and when Scott nodded indicating that he was also going home, she followed her dad.
"Yeah, I also have to hit the hay." Melissa told Scott. Scott nodded. He looked at Peter and then at Isaac who was only now getting up.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of sleeping beauty over here." Peter said.
"Okay." Scott walked out of the loft with his mom and headed home.
AN: I'm pretty sure most of you know where this is going.
