Night School - Chapter 25

~A Teen Wolf fan-fiction collaboration between Miss E Charlotte and Sage Londyn~

Later that afternoon Teagan was laid flat on her back on the bed as Jackson lay on top of her, kissing on her neck.

She closed her eyes and tried to concentrate on him and the things he was doing to her body but her mind was a million miles away.

Between all the werewolf stuff, worrying and missing Avery, as well as her confusion and thoughts it was hard to be in the moment.

Jackson raised his head and looked up at her when he realized she wasn't responding to his touch.

He pushed a lock of hair from her face as he asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Teagan lied.

He shot her a look, letting her know he didn't believe her answer.

She looked at him for a moment, caressing the side of his face before she leaned forward to give him a kiss, trying to show him nothing was wrong.

After kissing for a few more minutes he kissed down the side of her neck again, nibbling the spot that always turned her on but when she didn't make a sound, he raised up and said, "Ok now I know something is wrong. What's bothering you?"

"I just got a lot on my mind." Teagan answered vaguely.

"Like what?" Jackson asked.

She shook her head, not planning on telling him. She couldn't tell him about the werewolf stuff or he would think she was crazy. She couldn't tell him about missing Avery, he would just tell her to talk her then if she was missing her so much but it was more complicated than that.

And she definitely couldn't tell him about the confusing thoughts about Isaac, but there was one thing he could tell her, something that had been bothering her the last couple of days.

"What do you see in me?" Teagan asked him softly.

"What? Is this some kind of trick question?" Jackson asked confused.

"No I'm serious. What do you see in me? Why are you with me?" Teagan asked.

"Cause your incredibly sexy. You're easily the hottest girl in town." Jackson said with a smile, as he leaned forward to kiss her.

"Jackson I'm serious." Teagan said, as she pushed him back a little to break the kiss.

"I am too. You're hot as hell T, that's why I love you." Jackson said back with a grin.

"So you only love me cause I'm hot?" Teagan asked.

"That's not what I mean and you know it." Jackson said with a sigh, as he sat up the mood ruined.

"Then what do you mean? Do you really love me for me or is it because I'm popular and pretty?" Teagan asked.

"Where the hell is this coming from? If I was only dating someone for popularity reasons then why did I break up with Lydia for you?" Jackson pointed out.

"I don't know, why did you do that?" Teagan pushed.

"Because I love you." Jackson said, starting to feel annoyed. He stood up from the bed then said, "I don't know what you want me to say here T. You know how I feel about you or at least you should. I've told you a million times that I love you and I've been in love with you since you told me I sucked and pushed me down on the playground."

Teagan looked up at him and chuckled as she remember exactly what he was talking about.

"I was six when I did that. You remember that?" She asked.

"Of course I remember. Then I remembered after that you held out your hand to help me up, kissed my cheek then ran off laughing." Jackson added with a smile, as he remembered that day years ago.

"Avery had dared me to kiss you but when I got over there I freaked out, hence the shoving." Teagan said with a laugh.

Jackson sat back down beside her and reached up to lay a hand on the side of her face as he said, "You've been surprising me ever since that day. You're unpredictable, fearless and strong."

She shook her head as her vision blurred then she said, "I'm not fearless or strong, or at least I haven't felt that way lately. I've been so terrified recently Jackson."

"Of what?" He asked her confused.

"Everything." She whispered.

"I know that animal attack really freaked you out, but there's nothing to be afraid of anymore. The mountain lion was killed..." Jackson said, as he wiped the tears from her face, then added, "But besides that, I'm not going to let anything hurt you again."

She nodded her head as she reached out and grabbed the collar of his shirt, bringing him closer as she rested her forehead against his.

She closed her eyes and softly sighed when he wrapped an arm around her waist and brought her body against his.

Teagan wasn't sure how long he had been holding her when she heard her cellphone beep, letting her know she had a new message.

She pulled back for a moment and grabbed her phone from the table beside her bed.

She looked down at the unknown number and lowered her eyebrows in confusion, wondering who it was.

She almost deleted the message but at the last minute clicked on it.

She gasped in surprise when she read the small but to the point message from Avery. 'I need u... come quick... I'm at school -A'

"What's wrong?" Jackson asked, when he heard her gasp.

She handed him the phone to show him the message as she stood up and slipped on a pair of shoes.

Jackson read the message then looked up at her confused, not understanding what the problem was.

"What are you doing?" Jackson asked, as she grabbed her car keys.

"You saw the text, Avery needs me." Teagan said, as she pointed to her phone.

"You two haven't talked in days and now she sends you a cryptic text and you're rushing off to her?" Jackson asked, as he stood up.

"She needs help Jackson." Teagan argued.

"You don't know that." Jackson said back.

"She said 'I need you'." Teagan pointed out.

"That doesn't mean she needs help. You know how Avery is, she's always overdramatic." Jackson said.

"No she isn't Jackson, you don't know her like I do. She's my best friend and she needs me and I'm going." Teagan snapped cause of her worry for Avery.

"Ok, ok. Calm down." Jackson said, as he walked toward her, then said, "If you really think she needs help then ok, we'll go cause I'm not letting you go alone."
She nodded her head in thanks as she rushed forward to give him a quick kiss.

She called out to Aspen, telling him to stay, as she and Jackson walked out of her house, a feeling of dread in the pit of her stomach.

"What's Scott's plan?" Derek asked as he drove them to the school.

Looking in the backseat where Dr. Deaton was still unconscious and bound with duct tape over his mouth, Avery said "Besides keeping his boss alive, I'm not too sure."

"You told me to wait in the car because you were going to kill him." Avery said looking over at him.

"I went in just to question him at first; but then he was lying about his answers." Derek admitted.

"So you decided to kill him just in case he's the alpha?" She asked.

"What other reason could he have to lie about anything I asked him?" Derek pointed out.

Avery shrugged.

A few minutes later Derek pulled into the empty school parking lost illuminated by street lights.

"Where's my boss?" Scott asked as he and Stiles approached the car.

Avery got out, "He's fine, he's still knocked out though." She said as she pointed to the back seat.

Stiles leaned down and looked in the window, "Well, he looks comfortable." He said sarcastically.

"We'll be right back." Scott said as he and stiles turned to go into the school.

"Hey, hey! Where are you going?" Derek yelled after them.

"You said I was linked with the alpha. I'm gonna see if you're right." Scott said.

Avery and Derek watched as Scott and Stiles used bolt cutters to cut the chain holding the door together and then they went into the school.

Derek leaned against the back of Stiles jeep and sighed, he didn't know what Scott and stiles were planning but with it being their idea he wasn't too hopeful.

Walking up to him Avery faced him as she leaned her body against his, and rested her arms on shoulders, locking her wrists behind his neck.

"My dad left for vacation this morning, so now we have the whole house to ourselves, and we don't have to hide out in my room." She said as she leaned in and kissed him.

Pulling her face closer to his, her soft blonde hair fell between his fingers, before he ran his hands back down her sides.

Both of them were still in disbelief at the feeling they got around one another.

Avery let out a small laugh against his parted lips as Derek moved his hands behind her and grabbed onto her butt, pulling her body even tighter against his.

He let out a low groan as the movement caused friction between their clothed lower bodies.

Even though it had gotten a lot colder now that it was dark outside, her temperature rose and her body ached for him.

Keeping his hold firm on her sides, he spun them until she was pinned against the back of the jeep.

She let out a small gasp and her body arched against his as he focused his searing hot mouth on the side of her neck.

Slowly he kissed his way back up until their mouths were joined again.

Neither of them were sure how much time had passed while they were tangled up in each other's arm, when the moment was interrupted by a loud, slightly high pitched howling noise that played over the schools intercom system.

They broke their kiss and stared at each other for a few seconds while the sound continued.

"You've got be kidding me." Derek said in disbelief as he closed his eyes and shook his head.

"Is that Scott? He sounds like… a cat being strangled." She said as the noise finally stopped.

Leaning her head forward she rested her forehead on his shoulder and quietly laughed.

A few moments later Scott made another attempt, but this time it worked and the howl was deeper.

"Hmm." She hummed impressed as she raised her head from Derek's shoulder.

"What the hell are they thinking?" Derek mumbled as they waited for Scott and stiles to come back outside.

"I'm going to kill both of you…what the hell was that? What the hell are you trying to do, attract the entire state to the school?" Derek yelled as he saw the two teenagers.

"Sorry, I didn't know it would be that loud." Scott said smiling to himself.

"Yeah it was loud and it was awesome!" Stiles said excitedly.

"Not the first attempt, the first one sounded like a cat being choked to death." Avery pointed out.

"That is exactly the same thing I said." Stiles replied smiling at her.

She smiled back at him.

"Wait… what did you do with him?" Scott asked as he saw his boss was gone.

Avery moved and stood beside Scott and Stiles as she looked in Derek's car.

After looking in his back seat, Derek faced the group of teens.

"I didn't do anything." Derek told them.

"Right." Scott said angrily.

"We didn't touch your boss, Scott." Avery agreed.

"How did he just slip past you then? You were both were out here." Scott told them.

Avery glanced down to the ground, as Stiles looked over at her.

"Yeah, that's the problem. We should have separated them." Stiles breathed out as he saw the back of Avery's hair was a little messed up.

Avery rolled her eyes and looked back to Derek, they all heard a low growl.

"Oh my god…" She breathed out.

Before they really had time to respond, the alpha got behind Derek and put his hand through his back.

Derek coughed and blood started to pour from his mouth, as the alpha lifted him a few feet of off the ground.

"No!" Avery screamed as tears poured down her face, when the alpha raised him even higher and more blood ran from Derek's mouth.

"Come on." Stiles said as he grabbed her arm and tried to pull her with them.

"Derek!" she screamed, as the alpha threw him against the side of the building.

Stiles dragged her along with him inside of the school.

The last thing she saw was Derek's limp body bounce off the wall and fall to the ground with a thud.

~()~

Avery stood in the classroom they were hiding in as Scott and Stiles tried to figure out a plan.

Her light brown eyes moved around rapidly as she looked out of the window hoping to see Derek.

"Derek, if you can hear me… just get yourself out of here. I'm fine, just get yourself out of here." She said softly as she placed a hand on the window and looked outside.

"Is she talking to herself now?" Stiles asked Scott as he heard Avery talking quietly but couldn't make out what she was saying.

"She's whispering to Derek." Scott said back as he glanced over his shoulder at her.

"Derek's dead." Stiles said as quietly as possible.

"No, Derek's not dead. He can't be dead." Scott argued.

"Blood spurted out of his mouth, okay? That doesn't exactly qualify as a minor injury." Stiles argued back.

Avery slowly turned and stared at them.

"No, he can't be dead." Scott argued.

"He's dead!" Stiles loudly exclaimed back.

Scott could hear Avery's heartbeat change and he looked back over his shoulder at her.

Stiles sighed when he realized he'd been yelling about Derek being dead.

He looked up at her, she was leaned against the windows with her arms wrapped around herself, tears running down her cheeks.

"Well… maybe he's not completely dead…" Stiles tried to say.

"What do we do?" Scott asked his best friend, panicked.

"Okay… we get to my jeep and we get out of here." Stiles said.

"We can't." Avery said through her tears.

"We'll take Derek with us." Scott assured her.

"No you idiot, the alpha broke his jeep. We're not going anywhere." She angrily snapped, before she slid down the wall crying harder.

Scott and Stiles ran over to the windows and saw the hood had been badly bent.

"What the hell happened?" Stiles breathed out.

Avery closed her eyes and all she could see was the alpha putting his hand through Derek's back as so much blood pouring from his mouth.

She wanted the image out of her head but it was all she could see.

She whimpered and ran her fingers through her hair, roughly pulling on the roots of her hair and shaking her head as she just kept seeing the same scene over and over again.

"Avery!" Stiles yelled as he dropped to the floor in front of her.

"Stop it." He said as he grabbed her wrists and held them down.

"I can't lose him…" She breathed out.

Stiles opened his mouth to say something but didn't get to when the alpha threw the battery to the jeep through one of the window into the classroom.

"We have to move." Stiles told them.

Scott looked outside and didn't see the alpha.

"Now, we need to go now." Scott told them.

"Come on." Stiles said softly to Avery.

"No, you guys go on." She said as she wiped her cheeks, but more tears kept falling.

"You're coming with us." Scott said to her.

She shook her head back and forth.

Stiles reached forward and took her face in his hands as he made her face him, "If I have to pick you up and carry you, I will. But you're not just going to sit here and wait for that thing to find you."

"You're delusional if you think we're actually going to make it out of here." She said, her tone dry.

"We still have to try." Stiles argued.

She shook her head back and forth, every time she closed her eyes all she could see was Derek getting attacked.

"I'm not leaving you here. Do you hear me? I… I wouldn't know what to do it I lost you." He said.

She looked up at him her sad eyes locking with his.

"Come on." He said as he stood up and extended his hand to her, slowly she placed a shaky hand in his and he pulled her to her feet.

For the next hour the trio made their way through the school, running and hiding from the alpha.

The janitor who was in the building had been killed by the alpha.

At one point they thought they had him trapped in a room, but he escaped through the ceiling.

Avery was managing to hold it together pretty well as long as she tried to focus on running for her life and not think about Derek.

They were walking down a hallway when Scott stopped them, "I hear a phone." He said.

"What?" stiles asked him.

"Allison's phone… give me your phone!" Scott demanded to Stiles.

After calling Allison they agreed to all meet up in the lobby of the school.

Allison explained that she had gotten a text from a number claiming to be from Scott telling her to come to the school.

As they were talking, Teagan and Jackson walked in.

"A, thank god! We've been all over the school." Teagan exclaimed.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Avery asked wide eyed.

"You sent her a text!" Jackson exclaimed, irritated that Avery had ruined yet another moment between them.

"No I didn't." She said.

Teagan took her phone out and showed her the text.

"That's not even my number, T." Avery pointed out.

"I thought maybe you borrowed someone else's phone." Teagan explained.

"What the hell are you all doing here anyways?" Jackson asked looking around at everyone.

Before anyone really had a chance to respond, they heard thudding in the ceiling above them.

Reaching out Teagan grabbed Avery's arm as she shakily whispered, "What's going on?"

Avery looked back at her swallowing hard as she shook her head back and forth.

As the noises got closer to right above them, Scott grabbed Allison's hand and yelled, "Run!"

The group of teens ran until they reached the lunchroom.

Everyone started moving tables and chairs to block the door, except for Stiles who looked over to see Avery peering out of the large windows lining the wall.

She was still secretly hoping to get a glimpse of Derek, or see his car was gone or anything to make her feel a little better.

Stiles tried to get the group of panicked teens to listen to him, but they just kept piling up more tables and chairs in front of the door.

"Hello!" He finally shouted at the group.

Teagan and Allison sat the large stack of chairs they were carrying on top of the milk cooler in front of the door and turned around wide eyed.

"Okay, nice work. Really, beautiful job everyone. Now, what should be do about the 20-foot wall of windows?" He yelled sarcastically as he motioned to the windows.

Teagan saw Avery with her back to everyone starring out of the windows, it was almost as if she wasn't even really in the room with them.

The rest of the group talked and argued over whether they should call the cops while Teagan walked up to her best friend.

"We're running from that thing that was at the video store aren't we?" Teagan quietly asked.

Avery's eyes scanned the dark and empty school yard.

"A, what are you looking at?" Teagan asked as she too looked out of the windows.

"I love nighttime, you know that." Avery said in a quiet whisper.

"A… is the thing from the video store after us again, isn't it?" she repeated her earlier question.

Looking over at her, Teagan could see tears running down Avery's face.

"What is it?" Teagan asked.

"It's an alpha werewolf…" Avery said.

"No, I mean what's wrong with you?" She clarified.

In an instant it didn't matter that they hadn't spoken in weeks, all that mattered was her friend.

"I saw it, T. We were outside and the alpha snuck up behind him and it shoved it's hand through his back. And there was blood… so much blood it just, sprayed and poured from his mouth and it threw him, but he wasn't moving. He wasn't moving." She said through her tears as she wrapped her arms around herself and continued to cry.

Teagan took a few moments to process what Avery had said through her sobs and gasps for air.

She hadn't seen Avery this upset since she lost her mom.

"Who wasn't moving?" Teagan asked confused.

"Derek." Avery whispered.

Teagan's eyes widened, she still wasn't that comfortable with him or the idea of her best friend dating him. But he'd saved their lives before and it was obvious he cared a lot about Avery.

"I'm so sorry." Teagan finally was able to say, her voice hoarse as her own eyes filled with tears as she stepped forward and wrapped her arms around her friend.

Seeing Avery almost hysterical and not understanding what was going on, Allison yelled "What's happening!"

She had been trying to get Scott to tell her what was going on for a while now.

"Somebody killed the janitor." Stiles admitted to them.

Allison continued to yell at Scott demanding to know what was going on.

"I… I don't know, but if we go out there it's gonna kill us too." Scott said, unsure of how to explain anything to them.

"Who the hell is trying to kill us?" Jackson yelled at him, his voice gruff.

"It's Derek. It's Derek Hale." Scott lied.

"What?" Avery gasped as she stared at him as her mouth hung open.

Teagan's arms tightened around her friend.

Stiles looked over at Avery before he stared at Scott in shock.

"Derek killed the school's janitor?" Jackson asked confused.

"Are you sure?" Allison said with terror in her eyes.

"I saw him." Scott said.

"The mountain lion…" Allison started to argue.

"He killed them, all of them starting with own sister." Scott furthered his lie to avoid having to tell Allison the truth.

"I knew it." Jackson growled under his breath.

He knew the guy was bad news since the moment he saw him, his body tensed as he thought of how close he could have come to losing Teagan.

Avery pulled herself from Teagan's arms and faced her, "It wasn't him." She defended.

"I know." Teagan said.

Avery walked over next to Stiles who gave her a sympathetic look, he was just as shocked that Scott threw Derek under a bus like that.

Teagan walked over and joined the group, Jackson quickly grabbed her hand and held on tight. She had gotten hurt too many times lately and he wasn't about to let her get hurt again.

He didn't need Lahey or the police, or anyone to else to protect his girl. All she needed was his protection.

Stiles called his dad, but got his voicemail. As he was leaving a message the alpha tried to break the door down to the cafeteria.

Jackson kept his hold tight on Teagan as they backed away from the door in fear.

"The kitchen, there's a door out of the kitchen that leads to the stairwell." Stiles told them as the group continued to back away from the door.

He looked at Avery for a few moments before he reached down and took her hand.

Their eyes locked as she looked over at him.

As the alpha hit the door again, they all took off running through the kitchen.

Once they made it upstairs, they locked themselves in the chemistry room.

Avery stood by the windows looking out again; she didn't want to face the group. Every time she looked at Jackson his jaw tensed in anger like he blamed her for being in this mess.

Allison kept avoiding her eyes, it was obvious Allison was wondering why Avery didn't listen to them and continued to go out with Derek.

Scott kept avoiding her because he knew it was wrong of him to say Derek was the one doing the murders.

Scott and Stiles came up with a plan that Scott would go get the keys off the janitors corpse, then they could unlock the door that led up to the roof. From there they could climb down the fire escape and make a break for it.

Allison begged Scott not to go, but he left anyways.

With Jackson grabbing the ingredients for her, Teagan used the chemicals in the lab to make a self-igniting Molotov cocktail.

Once Scott was out of the room they locked the door behind him.

Allison climbed up on one the of the tables and rocked back and forth, afraid that Scott might not make it back to them.

"Teagan, come on." Jackson said with irritation in his voice.

Avery looked over to see Teagan pull her hand away from his and start towards her.

Teagan hugged her best friend again, she felt so bad for Avery and wasn't sure how to help her.

Over Teagan's shoulder, Avery watched as Jackson shook his head back and forth.

He fully blamed Avery for everything that was happening, all because she couldn't stay away from Derek Hale.

Stiles leaned against the chalkboard and watched them.

A little while later there was a low growl that sounded throughout the entire school, causing the lockers to rattle.

Then Scott came upstairs and locked them in the classroom.

Allison and Jackson thought he'd locked them in there to keep them from getting out, but he'd really done it protect his friends from himself. The alpha was trying to make him kill his friends.

Once the police showed up at the school, they were all able to go outside and the alpha left.

Avery leaned against a patrol car as she waited for an officer to take her home.
