"Tala, get up, come on." Tala groans as she opens her eyes and sees Derek lean down. "Come on, you gotta get up."
"Where's Scott?" Tala asks. "The alpha was-
"He's gone now. Scott and the others got out. Kaiden is with the sheriff and Stiles. I'm getting you home."
"Are they wondering where I am? What happened?"
"The alpha tried to get Scott to give into the anger, but Scott fought it back. The alpha left soon after and the sheriff showed up. Kaiden told the sheriff that you got out and were safe. He even fake a phone call. Said you were waiting for him at home. I'm going to get you home." Derek says as he carries her out. "You're going to be okay, Tala. I got you."
"I can't lose you Derek. I can't lose my Teddy Bear." Derek smiles and kisses her head, holding her tighter in his arms.
"You won't lady bug. I'm not going anywhere."
~Stiles' pov because this part is really funny and I can't just add Kaiden or Tala, so I put this part in as Stiles' pov~
It has only been a day since Allison 'took a break' with Scott, but Stiles can tell his best friend is hurting and needed comfort like Stiles had needed when Kaiden and him were broken up for that short time, so what better way to cheer up then being in the middle of nowhere and drunk. "We really shouldn't be out here, my mom is in a constant state of freak out from what happened at the school." Scott tells Stiles as the two climb up the hill.
"Well, your mom isn't the sheriff, okay? There's no comparison, trust me." Stiles tells Scott as he quickly send a goodnight text to Kaiden, letting him know of his plans for the night.
"Can you at least tell me what we're doing out here?" Scott asks as they reach the top of the hill.
"Yes, when your best friend get's dumped-
"I didn't get dumped. We're taking a break." Scott says, trying to comfort himself.
"Alright, well, when your best friend gets told by his girlfriend that they're taking a break..." Stiles turns to Scott with a grin. "You get your best friend drunk." He holds up the bottle of whiskey and like that they spend their night drinking.
Scott is sitting on a rock, in total sour wolf mode, while Stiles is laying on the ground, the bottle half empty now. Stiles gives a sigh as he lays back down after taking a big gulp of the alcohol. "Dude, you know, she's just one, one girl. She isn't even your mate. You know out of so many other girls in the sea."
"Fish in the sea." Scott corrects.
"Fish? Why you talking about fish? I'm talking about girls." Stiles says, his drunk mind not really processing things. "I love girls, but I love guys even more. You should try a guy. Maybe Danny." Stiles says. "Kaiden says you're more Danny's type." Scott shakes his head at Stiles as he listens to him babble. "I love guys a lot. Especially... Especially ones with black hair, mm and dark skin, oh and two different color eyes, that's so hot." Scott rolls his eyes.
"You mean like Kaiden."
"Exactly like Kaiden. How did you know I was talking about... about... Who was I talking about?" Stiles asks with a large grin on his face. Stiles doesn't answer, just stares at the fire with a frown. "Hey, you're not happy. Take a drink." Stiles says, hitting Scott's leg, and grabbing the bottle.
"I don't want anymore." Scott tells Stiles.
"You're not drunk?" Stiles asks after taking a swallow and laying back down.
"I'm not anything."
"Hey, maybe it's like... maybe it's like not needing your inhaler anymore, you know. Maybe you can't get drunk. As a wolf. Am I drunk?"
"You're wasted."
"Yeah!" Stiles smiles. "Aw, come on, dude. I know it feels bad. I know it hurts. I've been there with Kaiden. I know that as much as being broken up hurts being alone is way worse." Scott makes a face as Stiles says that. "That didn't make no sense." Stiles starts to laugh at his own drunken idiocy. "I need a drink." Stiles goes to grab the bottle, but someone else does.
"Well, look at the two little bitches getting their drink on." Some guys says as Stiles and Scott look at them.
"Give it back." Scott orders.
"What's that, little man?" The man asks.
"I think he wants a drink." The other says.
"I want the bottle." Scott says.
"Scott, maybe we should just go." Stiles says.
"You brought me here to get drunk, Stiles. I'm not drunk yet." The first guy scoffs as he takes a sip from the bottle, causing Scott to get up from his seat. "Give me the bottle." Scott orders. When the man shakes his hand Scott's eyes begin to glow. "Give me the bottle of jack." Scott orders once more.
"Scott?" Stiles questions, beginning to sober up. The man hands the bottle over and Scott grabs it, throwing it against a tree before Stiles and him start back down the mountain. "Okay, please tell me that was because of the breakup." Stiles says. "Or 'cause tomorrow is the full moon." Scott opens the jeep door for Stiles. "Going home now, yeah?" Scott nods and Stiles falls back into the seat.
Kaiden sits on the steps of the school, waiting for Stiles to show up. Last night Stiles called him drunk, it was funny, but Kaiden is also a bit concern with Stiles getting drunk. "Hey." Kaiden looks up as Stiles walks over and stands between Kaiden's legs. "So... about last night... My dad told me I called you."
"You don't remember?"
"Uh... I remember everything up to Scott dropping me off at home." Kaiden frowns and looks up at his boyfriend.
"Why did you get so wasted anyways?"
"Scott. I was trying to cheer him up with drinking, but Scott can't get wasted."
"If you had called me before you got drunk I would have told you that."
"Yeah..." Stiles rubs the back of his neck as he looks at his boyfriend's two different color eyes. "What did I say to you last night?"
"Something along the lines of wanting to suck me." Stiles face explodes into red as Kaiden says it with a grin.
"You're lying."
"Sorry, Sti, you said that." He stands up, grabbing his bag and looking down at Stiles. "Although... I wouldn't mind, but I prefer you sober rather than drunk when you're blowing me." Stiles covers his face with his hands and groans.
"Please, stop, I'm already embarrassed enough." Kaiden laughs and wraps an arm around his boyfriend before leading him up the steps.
"Well... I mean... You make it so easy." Stiles glares at him as they reach the doors only to find Stiles' dad there.
"Kaiden, how you doing?" Stiles' dad asks, causing Kaiden to look at him.
"Alright."
"Did your cousin call you or anything yet?"
"Dad-" Stiles starts, but Kaiden cuts him off.
"No, sir. Tala and I haven't seen Derek since the night at the school."
"And how's Tala?"
"She's upset with everything, but she's going to be okay. She's taking today off, but she should be back to school tomorrow."
"That's good." Kaiden nods as Stiles frowns.
"We have to get to class, dad." Stiles says.
"Right, sorry, just checking in. If you ever need a place to stay, Kaiden-
"Thank you, sir, but I'm okay. My sister and I can handle ourselves. Hales are often very good with being independent." Stiles' dad nods as Kaiden leads Stiles into the school.
"Have you heard from Derek?"
"Nope. Tala said he brought her home, but didn't say much. Left right after dropping her off. we haven't heard anything else from him." The two are at their lockers when they see Stiles' father in a meeting with the other cops and the principle. "Come on, we're going to be late to class." Kaiden says, but Stiles shakes his head.
"I need to talk to my dad." Kaiden glances over and nods.
"Okay, well, we can both be late then." The two move and sit by the office as the bell rings and everyone heads to class. They sit for a long moment in silence before his dad starts out the office. He says something quiet before seeing Kaiden and Stiles.
"Give me a second with my son." The sheriff says as he starts over to the two boys, who both stand at his approach. "Twice in one morning." He says as he crosses his arms. "Don't you have a test to get to? Both of you?"
"What's going on? Did you find Derek yet?" Stiles asks.
"I'm working on it." The sheriff says. "You go take your test, both of you." Kaiden glances at Stiles as the sheriff says that.
"Alright, dad, listen to me-
"Go."
"This is really important, you have to be careful tonight, okay? Especially tonight." Kaiden frowns as Stiles says this. This is the reason Stiles needed to talk to his dad.
"Stiles, I'm always careful." Kaiden looks at his feet, suddenly uncomfortable with this family situation.
"Dad, you've never dealt with this kind of thing before, okay? At least not like this."
"I know, which is why I brought in people who have. State detective." Kaiden frowns as he looks at the state detective. "Go take your test." Stiles sighs and he and Kaiden start down the hall.
Kaiden stops by the glass cabinet of past sports stars with trophies. "Kai?" Kaiden frowns as he looks at the statue. "Peter Hale, best offense player. Is that your dad?"
"Yeah, back in high school. He used to be on the basketball team. He was one of the best players. My mom had been a cheerleader at the time. That was when our school was big on basketball and had cheerleaders." Kaiden says. "Mom and Dad started dating back in their Freshman year. He found out she was his mate after they had a huge argument. Mom never backed down from a fight and she was every bit like a Hale. Dad used to love getting her all worked up. One day he did and their eyes met and that was it. He found out she was his mate and he was hers. She had been a member of the other pack that resided in Beacon Hill. That is until her back got wiped out like ours by the Argents."
"Kai..." Stiles didn't know what to say. This is more than Kaiden usually said about his family.
"That was my mom." He pointed to another trophy, which was for the head cheerleaders. "My mom got head cheerleader in her sophomore year, one of the youngest head cheerleaders in history. Dad told me she was so happy to learn that she was having a girl and a boy. Her and dad used to joke that I'd be the star basketball player and Tala would be the head cheerleader just like them, but that was before the fire... now... now everything is different." Kaiden shakes his head and steps away from the cabinet. "Come on, we're already late as it is."
Stiles and Kaiden sit in their Chemistry classroom as Scott comes in. He tries to talk to Allison, but Mr. Harris tells Scott to go take a seat. "You have 45 minutes to complete the test. 25% of your grade can be earned right now by simply writing your name on the cover of the blue book." Kaiden and Stiles both do this before forgetting. "However, as happens every year, one of you will inexplicably fail to put your name on the cover and I'll be left again questioning my decision to ever become a teacher." Kaiden bites back a smile as he listens to Mr. Harris. Out of all the teachers Mr. Harris happens to be his favorite. For some reason Mr. Harris is always nicer to him than others and Chemistry has always been Kaiden's best subject. "So let's get the disappointment over with. Begin."
Kaiden sighs and opens the book and begins reading answers. He skims through the first page with ease, all the questions very easy in his mind, and begins the next page. Kaiden rests his head on his arm as he breezes through the pages one after another. "Mr. McCall?" Kaiden raises his head and watches as Scott runs out of the room. "Mr. Stilenski." Kaiden frowns as he watches his boyfriend run out. Kaiden rolls his eyes and goes back to his work. He knows Stiles and Scott can handle whatever problem there is, so he goes back to taking his test.
Stiles and Scott don't show up for the rest of class and Kaiden hands his test in early too. "Can I go make sure they're not getting themselves in trouble?" Kaiden asks as he hands the test in. "I mean, I have nothing better to do."
"Very well." Kaiden grabs his bag and Stiles before heading out of the room.
He walks around the school before finding Scott and Stiles in the locker room. "So... Harris is going to kill you." Kaiden says, throwing the bag at Stiles.
"Yeah, we figured, which is why we're waiting until the bell to get our things, but now we don't have to, thanks." Stiles says with a smile.
"Yup, so what happened?"
"Panic attack." Scott sighs.
"Damn, I hate those." Kaiden says with a frown. "So... how are you doing with the full moon?"
"I got to stay locked up." Kaiden frowns as Scott says that. "I got to do something because..."
"He's afraid of killing someone." Stiles tells him.
"Yeah, that does happen on full moons to people." Kaiden agrees with Scott.
"Did it ever happen to you?" Scott asks, causing Kaiden to frown.
"A year before the fire, my family thought I had learned control and could be trusted on full moons. That night I killed an innocent person. I would have killed the entire family if my dad hadn't found me. I don't remember anything from that night, but Tala does. She had always had better control than I did. She remembered the entire night and she remembered trying to stop me, but even though she has better control she isn't as strong as I am. Only my dad was able to stop me. The entire family knew who I was and... and that meant our family were at risk so..."
"So you had no choice, but to kill the rest of them." Stiles whispers.
"My dad did. Said he had to in order to keep me and the family safe, but... I still hate knowing that I caused it." Kaiden looks at Scott at this moment. "It's better for all of us if you stay locked up with heavy duty chains because trust if you get out you'll regret what happens afterwards for the rest of your life.
