Okay guys, two more chapters left! I've already finished the last chapter I'm just taking my time and editing it…BTW it's a really really long chapter, but I couldn't think of a better way to end the story than with an incredibly long chapter.

So here's part one of Master Plan…Part two should be coming out no later than Friday...

I only own Gaby and Lisa...

Enjoy!

Chapter 25

Gaby didn't stop running she needed to get to Derek. An arrow hit the tree next to her causing her to let out a surprise squeak. She pushed herself to run faster dodging any arrows coming up from behind her. The blonde stopped when she realized she couldn't go to Derek she couldn't lead the hunters there.

Gaby ran away from the Hale house leading the hunters away from her mate. She threw herself into large bushes. The blonde sniffed the air hoping that it wasn't Allison, Argent, or Gerard after her, but the foul odor of Gerard filled her nose. There was no way she was getting out of this. Someone grabbed her from behind covering her mouth and pulled her away from the bushes. "SHH," she heard Peter say.

The blonde looked at him before Derek quickly joined them. She threw her arms around him allowing his scent to calm her. "Find her!" the older hunter ordered "When you get her…bring her to me alive. I want Derek to watch as we slice his mate in half."

Peter did his best to restrain a struggling Derek but he was failing. Gaby put her hands on the side of his face. "Derek," she whispered so only the werewolves could hear. Derek stilled at the sound of her voice. She shook her head "Don't. He's trying to draw you out. I'm right here I'm fine."

Movement in some bushes several feet away them caused Gaby to break eye contact with Derek. A deer came into her line of sight. The blonde looked around before finding a rock. She made sure none of the hunters were looking before throwing it at the deer. The deer ran away from them and the hunters. The hunters were quick to follow it. Gaby, Derek, and Peter held their breath as Gerard waited a few more seconds behind them. "Thirty seconds until the game is over," Gerard said before heading the same direction as the others.

As soon as they were in the clear the three werewolves took off towards the Hale house. "Wait," Gaby said clutching a tree near her.

"Gab we don't have that much further to go," Derek told her.

"Something's wrong," she whispered.

"What?"

"Not what…who?" The blonde looked into Derek's concerned green ones "…Jackson."

"Kill yourself now," Gerard's voice ordered into her mind.

Gaby lifted a clawed hand ready to shove it into her stomach. "GABY NO!" Derek shouted grabbing her hand before it could hit her stomach.

"What the hell is wrong with her?" Peter asked as he helped keep Gaby's hands away from herself "Why is she trying to kill herself?"

Derek shook his head "I don't know."

"What's her ability?"

He shook his head "I'm not telling you." Before Peter could say anything back Gaby gasped and stopped struggling. "Gaby?"

She looked up at Derek before falling limp in his arms. Peter listened carefully "She's got a pulse…it looks like she just passed out. Again what is her ability?"

Derek ignored his uncle and picked Gaby up walking towards the Hale House. "I'm going to take her upstairs we're going to get Scott, be ready," Derek ordered. When the blonde was laid onto the bed, he quickly scribbled out a note telling her to stay put until they came back. Derek quickly made his way over to his uncle "We're walking they know what my car looks like. I'm grabbing Gaby's stuff on the way back."

Sheriff Stilinski sighed as he talked to Scott and Isaac in the boys' locker room. His head wasn't on straight because Stiles had gone missing when the lights went out at the game. "I gotta meet with the medical examiner and try to figure out what happened with Jackson," he said "I've got and APB out on Stiles. His jeep is still out in the parking lot, so that means…I don't know what that means. It looks like Gaby's gone missing too…you two haven't heard from her have you?" Both werewolves shook their heads. "I'll try contacting her aunt and maybe," the sheriff scoffed "maybe Derek Hale see if she's contacted them. Look if they answer their phones, if they answer their emails, if either one of you see them…"

Isaac nodded "We'll call you."

"Look Stiles' probably just freaked out from all the attention or something," Scott told him, "and maybe Gaby had Derek come pick her up after the game. We'll find them."

The sheriff nodded "Yeah. I'll see you, okay?"

After the sheriff left Finstock walked up to the two of them "McCall. We need you on the team, okay? You know I can't put you on the field next season if you don't get your grades up."

"Yeah, I know Coach," Scott nodded.

"All right. I mean, I know I yell a lot, but it's not like I hate you guys. I kinda hate Greenberg but, you know, that's different…it's Greenberg. I'm just saying we…I need you on the team. Get your grades back up."

"I will."

"I know," Finstock nodded before leaving as well.

"Is that everyone?" Scott asked.

Isaac sighed "I think so." Scott ripped Stiles' locker door off the locker and threw it onto the floor. The taller beta looked at the locker door before looking at Scott "You're going to find him by scent?"

"Yeah we both are," Scott told him handing him a shoe.

"How you get his shirt and I get a shoe?"

"I just grabbed something…have you heard from Gaby?"

Isaac shook his head "Not since I told her to run when Gerard nearly cornered us. She was supposed to howl, but hunters were after her."

"I hope she's okay," Scott said.

"She's fine," Derek said walking into the locker room. Both Scott and Isaac looked at Derek "We need to talk."

Peter came out from his hiding spot "All of us."

"Holy shit! What the hell is this?" Scott asked looking at Peter.

"You know I thought the same thing when I saw you talking to Gerard at the sheriff's station," Derek told him.

"Okay hold on! He threatened to kill my mom. And I had to get close to him. What was I supposed to do?"

"I'm gonna go with Scott on this one…have you seen his mom?" Peter asked Isaac "She's gorgeous."

"Shut up!" Scott and Derek told Peter.

"Who's he?" Isaac asked Scott.

"That's Peter, Derek's uncle," Scott explained "Little while back he tried to kill us all, he bit Gaby, and then we set him on fire, and Derek slashed his throat."

Derek rolled his eyes at the last part while Peter waved and said "Hi."

"That's good to know," Isaac whispered.

"How's he alive?" Scott asked Derek.

"Look the short version is he knows how to stop Jackson. And maybe how to save him," Derek answered.

Scott and Isaac shared a look. "Well that's very helpful," Isaac started "except Jackson's dead."

"What?"

"Yeah, Jackson's dead. It just happened on the field," Scott confirmed.

"So she has a psychic ability," Peter said.

Derek glared at his uncle "Shut up."

"What?" Scott asked the Alpha.

Derek shook his head "I'll explain later."

"So why is no one taking Jackson's dead to be a good thing?" Isaac asked them.

Peter sighed "Because if Jackson's dead it didn't just happen. Gerard wanted it to happen."

"But why?" Derek asked his uncle.

"Well that's exactly what we need to figure out, and something tells me the window of opportunity is closing. Quickly."

Scott and Isaac quickly followed Derek out. "Where's Gaby's stuff?" Derek asked them.

"Probably in her locker…people think she's missing just like Stiles," Scott answered.

"Okay, text or call the sheriff that she's fine and that she wasn't feeling well and I took her home. Tell him that she was going to come back for her stuff tomorrow, but you offered to drive it home for her."

Scott nodded and did exactly what Derek said while Derek went into the locker room to grab her things. "She made it to you all right?" Isaac asked his Alpha.

Derek looked at the beta. He could sense Isaac was loyal to Gaby, more so than he was to Derek, but Gaby would soon become an Alpha so it wouldn't matter which one he was loyal to as long as he would be loyal to one. The Alpha nodded "She was being chased by hunters and we found her. We got away and then she passed out."

"What?"

"I guess we figured out what happens when someone she's connected to gets killed. It won't kill her, but it'll weaken her for…who knows how long."

Isaac could tell Derek was worried for the blonde. He always guessed the Alpha wasn't capable of any emotion but anger and worriedness, but when it came to Gaby every emotion came out of Derek. He could be happy, sad, caring, concerned…it always surprised the three Betas just how different Derek was around the blonde. Isaac felt even guiltier seeing the worry etched across the Alpha's face.

"What's wrong?" Derek asked sensing Isaac's guilt.

"I'm the reason hunters were after her. She came back and drew them away from me, " the Beta said. Derek looked at him with a shocked expression. "Why would she do that?" Isaac asked.

He shrugged "That's who Gaby is."

"But she was in more danger than I was…"

"It doesn't matter to her."

Isaac nodded his head "You know she'll be a really good Alpha…no offense to you or anything, but…"

"I know," Derek nodded "You're right she'll be a great Alpha when she decides to step up. By the way if Peter asks about Gaby's ability…don't tell him. She can tell him if she wants but let her decide." Isaac nodded and followed the Alpha out towards the parking lot where Scott and Peter were waiting by Gaby's SUV.

Gaby woke up and quickly took in her surroundings. She was in the Hale house lying in the room her and Derek used the night before. The blonde listened to see if anyone was in the house, but there was no one. Her eyes caught a glimpse of white when she moved to sit up. Gaby quickly picked up the sheet of paper and read the note Derek left her "Peter and I went to get Scott and Isaac we'll be back soon. Stay here until we return. Love, Derek."

The blonde sighed and walked out of the room. She moved towards another nearly intact room and opened the door. Barely anything was in the room but a charred chest. Gaby brushed the little ash she could off of the top and ran her fingers over the engraving. It was a symbol, exactly like Derek's tattoo. She quickly opened the chest and looked inside. There were some books in there and papers. Gaby pulled out some of the books and started to sort through the papers. The blonde stopped when she came across a folder labeled 'MYERS'.

Out of curiosity Gaby opened the folder. The first thing she saw was a copy of her birth certificate, if she didn't already know what was going on between her and Derek she probably would have freaked out about this. Gaby pulled out a family tree and read it. The tree dated back to the 1500's in France. She looked up at the top of the tree expecting to see Hale written across it, instead she found Rousseau written. She looked at the bottom of the page and gasped.

"Gaby?" Derek called out. Gaby stared at the tree unable to find her voice. "There you a…what are you doing with that?" he asked kneeling next to her.

She showed him the family tree "Did you know about this?"

Derek scanned the paper until he found the source of her distress. "Do you…" he started asking.

"Yeah…"

It was silent for a second before Gaby closed the folder. "Can I borrow this?" she asked him.

"Of course," Derek nodded and handed the blonde her forgotten cheer bag "I grabbed your car too. Do you wanna talk about that first?"

Gaby shook her head "No…we have bigger things to worry about right now, plus I need to wait for my aunt to come back so she can answer questions."

"Okay, then get changed we're all downstairs."

The blonde nodded and quickly changed out of her uniform into a pair of jeans, a blue tank top, and a black sweater to go over it. She threw on a pair of black flat boots and made her towards the other werewolves.

Scott was the first one to pull Gaby into a hug "You scared me half to death. I knew once Gerard left he went after you."

The blonde smiled "I'm fine Scott."

"How are you feeling," Derek asked her as she went to hug Isaac.

"Fine…it didn't even feel like I passed out, why?"

"Jackson's dead," Peter told her.

"What? Are you sure?"

"It happened right after the game," Scott informed her.

The blonde shook her head "No that can't be."

"What do you mean? We saw his body."

"I just…I have this feeling…it's hard to explain, but I don't think he's dead."

"You can still feel the connection?" Derek asked her.

Gaby nodded "Which means he's still alive."

A short silence followed Gaby's words. Something major was going down if Jackson killed himself, but was somehow still alive. "You know, I get the feeling I'm the only one who doesn't know about your abilities," Peter said looking at the blonde.

Gaby rolled her eyes "You haven't earned that information yet. You'll know when I decide to tell you."

The older werewolf glared at the blonde "You may be my nephew, the alpha's, mate, but you're not an alpha…"

"Not yet," Gaby snapped at him "And even if I was never going to be one, the answer would still be the same."

"Calm down Gab," Derek whispered kissing her temple. He looked at his uncle "We need more information on the Kanima. Tell me you know something?"

"I might know to find it," Peter answered ending his glaring match with the blonde "It's here in the house."

As Peter stood up Scott's phone beeped "Oh they found Stiles…"

"WHAT?" Gaby yelled "What do you mean they found Stiles? Where was Stiles?"

"We think Gerard took him."

"Bastard," the blonde growled.

Peter moved towards the stairs. Derek sighed "Look I told you I looked everywhere."

He lifted up a board on the stair "You didn't look here." The other four werewolves looked at him curiously wondering what exactly he was getting. He pulled out a dust-covered box.

"What is that, a book?"

Peter looked at his nephew strangely "No. It's a laptop. What century are you living in?" Gaby let out a giggle; despite her feelings towards Derek's uncle he had his funny moments. Derek rolled his eyes and shot a glare at the blonde. She smiled and quickly kissed him on the cheek. "A few days after I got out of the coma, I transferred everything we had," Peter continued "Fortunately the Argents aren't the only ones that keep records."

Peter, Derek, and Gaby moved into the next room while Scott's cell phone rang. The blonde did her best not to listen into Scott's phone call in the other room. When he walked in she looked over at him "What was that about?"

"It was my mom. Something's going on with Jackson," Scott answered.

"Is he alive?"

"Not that she could tell."

"Okay," Derek said "Gaby, you, Scott, and Isaac go down to the hospital we'll stay here and do this."

The blonde shook her head "No I'm staying." Derek sent her a confused look so the blonde nodded towards Peter. She didn't really trust him alone with Derek, and the alpha understood that and nodded.

"Okay Scott and Isaac go to the hospital."

Gaby tossed Scott her car keys and watched them walk out the door. The blonde sat on a table while Peter went through the records. She opened the file again and looked through the papers.

Derek watched the girl carefully hoping she wouldn't freak out if she found anything else. He walked over to her and lifted her chin "What's wrong?"

"Why did they keep this from me?"

"Maybe something happened and they were trying to spare you even more pain."

"Maybe…I don't know…but why the Rousseau's? Why is that family tree in here?"

"You're a Rousseau?" Peter asked not looking up from the screen "Derek you get luckier and luckier don't you?"

"What does that have to do with anything?"

"Everything."

"Care to elaborate?" Derek asked his uncle.

"You've heard the story Derek. It's how we explain how human mates came to be."

"I didn't know the story was about a Rousseau."

Peter nodded. "Wait," Gaby said "You told me that what I am has nothing to do with my family."

"Most of the time it doesn't. You, Gabriella, are a special case. Derek why don't you tell the story."

The blonde looked over at Derek waiting for him to speak. He sighed "It's been a while since I've heard it so I don't know all the details. There was a very powerful pack of werewolves living in France, the Rousseau's. The majority of them had a psychic ability. One day one of the Beta's attacked a human, he didn't kill it but he did injure it. The mother of the child was so distraught that she sent out for help to control the animal problem. She found a witch, or so they say, who agreed to help due to another personal vendetta. The Beta had a pregnant mate who was about to give birth. The witch offered to help with the birth and they agreed not knowing who she was. Once the baby was born the witch cursed the child. She would never be able to turn into a werewolf unless she was bitten. The curse caused her eyes to turn golden, like a Beta's eye color. One day when the girl was older she ran into another werewolf. Now because she was supposed to be a werewolf she had a mate. Even though she was human she could still keep her werewolf mate and have werewolf children, except one child was human passing down the curse throughout the family."

"That's the story?" Gaby asked him.

"Basically, yeah."

"So that girl she was the first human mate?"

"Yup," Peter answered "And you're the latest in a long line of cursed individuals…congratulations."

"So I've always had the werewolf gene?"

Derek nodded "Pretty much yeah."

"So all human mates are related to me?"

"No," Peter answered "In most cases the werewolf gene is a random mutation, but you have to remember how rare a human mate is. This doesn't happen often."

Gaby and Derek shared a look. "How rare is it to have multiple human mates in the same family?" Gaby asked.

"You mean like mother to daughter?"

"No like siblings?"

"That's never happened. Why do you ask?"

"Just curious."

Before anything else could be said Derek's phone rang. He answered it "Scott, what did you find?" He looked confused and motioned Gaby to follow him towards Peter "They say he's in some kind of transparent casing made from the venom coming out of his claws."

"That sounds sufficiently terrifying," Peter said.

"They also say he's starting to move."

"So Gaby's instinct was correct Jackson's still alive somehow. Okay, look, I think I found something." The two werewolves moved closer to the older Beta. "Looks like what you're seeing from Jackson is the Kanima's beta shape."

"Beta shape?" Gaby asked moving to stand on Peter's left while Derek stood slightly behind her "Does this mean he's going to turn into something bigger?"

Derek leaned in pushing the blonde to place her hands on the table allowing him to get a better view of the computer. She felt his hands grab her waist. The two watched as Peter pulled up a picture. Gaby scrunched her nose in disgust. "Bigger and badder," Peter answered.

"He's turning into that?" Derek asked "That has wings."

"I can see that."

Derek brought his phone up to his ear "Scott, bring him to us."

"Look somebody actually made an animation of it," Peter said causing the two other werewolves to lean back in. "Maybe it's less frightening if we…" he clicked it and the creature screeched causing all three to jump back and Gaby to scream. Peter quickly shut the computer "Nope not at all. We should probably meet them halfway."

Gaby nodded "Agreed."

"Scott get him out of there now. Go now," Derek ordered before hanging up and walking out of the room. Gaby and Peter quickly followed him.

"Derek we need Lydia," Peter said before Derek could leave.

"Why do we need Lydia?" Gaby asked.

"She can save Jackson."

"She can?"

Peter nodded and looked back at Derek. "Look there's not time for…" Derek started before his uncle held up a finger.

Peter sighed "That's the problem. We're rushing. We're moving too fast. And while everybody knows a moving target is harder to hit, here we are, racing right into Gerard's crosshairs."

"If I get the chance to kill Jackson, I'm taking it."

"Derek…" Gaby sighed.

"No Gaby, I've already explained this to you. I don't know if Gerard knows about your connection to Jackson, but this has gotten even more dangerous for you."

She narrowed her eyes "What exactly are you implying here?"

"Stay here."

"While you go fight Jackson, Gerard, and crazy ass Allison? Not a chance in Hell."

"Gaby stay here."

She clenched her jaw and looked away from him as he ran out the door. As soon as she knew Derek was far enough away the blonde ran for the keys lying on the table. She looked at Peter "You coming?"

The older werewolf smirked "Defying Derek are we?"

"He should know better by now that I don't let people I care about fight without me. Now move your ass otherwise I'm leaving you."

"Are you going to get Lydia?"

"No I'm gonna text her and Stiles to meet us up there. Hopefully she makes it."
