26-Truth Hurts

Melissa's p.o.v

I was watching over Cora for Derek. He said he had to leave, saying something about a banshee and screaming? I know Scott and Ash had talked me through..EVERYTHING but I was still very new to this. I spun around towards her when the machines started beeping loudly and frantically. Cora jolted up and leant over the bed, vomitting black blood and miseltoe.

..

Ashlee's p.o.v

I watched Jennifer run into the loft and straight into Derek's arms. I let out a quiet growl which got me a hard nudge from Scott.

"What's wrong?" Derek asks Jennifer.

"I wanted to get to you before you heard awful things about me" Jennifer tells him and pulls him into a kiss. Derek barely kisses her back and she pulls away, looking at him. Too late bitch, we got to Derek first.

"They're already here, aren't they?" Jennifer asks Derek bitterly and Derek looks over to us, inviting us out. All three of us walk out from behind the wall.

"So, they told you it was me? That i'm the one taking people?" Jennifer asks Derek.

"We told him you're the one killing people" Scott butts in before I cuss her out.

"Oh, that's right, committing human sacrifices, cutting their throats? Yeah, I probably do that in my lunch hour so that way I can get back to teaching high school english for the rest of the day, that makes perfect sense" Jennifer says sarcastically.

"Where's my Dad?" Stiles ask, his voice breaking as a few tears fall down his face.

"How should I know?" Jennifer asks innocently. She turns to Derek. "Tell me you don't believe this?"

"Do you know what happened to Stiles' father?" Derek asks her calmly.

"No" Jennifer says, fake tears forming in her eyes.

"Why did you almost kill Lydia?" I asked her angerily.

"Lydia Martin? I don't know anything about that!" Jennifer exclaims.

"What do you know?" Derek asks her, his own anger shining through.

"I know that for whatever misguided reason-" Jennifer started but I snatched the jar of miseltoe from Scott's hand and threw it at her. She screamed and changed from the Darach back to Ms Blake, huffing and gasping for air. She tried to run but I caught her by her throat and squeezed. I watched Derek as his face visibly dropped. Only realising now how much he screwed things up for us, all of us. He stepped back, shock all over his face. At first, he didn't believe anything we told him, brushing it off as 'stupid, childish games' that he didn't want to play. But now, he was seeing this firsthand, with his own eyes. I could feel his guilt, his regret.

"What are you?" I asked her.

"The only person who can save Cora" she said and I squeezed even harder. "Call Melissa, call her!" I saw from the corner of my eye, Scott pull out his phone. I listened in to their conversation and she was telling the truth. I lifted Jennifer into the air. "Her life, it's in my hands" she choked.

"Ash, what are you doing?" Derek asked, his shock wearing off.

"Stop, Ash, stop" Stiles said.

"Stilinski, you'll never find him" Jennifer told Stiles. Derek looked at me, pleading with me. I shook my head, this bitch had murdered people, she tore me and Derek apart, she's going to die.

"Ash, if she dies so does Cora. Please" Derek begs. I look into his eyes, I swear tears were forming.

"I'm sorry Derek but no. I'll find a way to heal Cora but she dies right now" I say.

"The only person that can save Cora is me!" Jennifer pleads, her words coming out choked.

"Ash, no!" Derek yells, stopping me. I turn to him.

"Do you not understand what she has done to this pack? To this family?" I ask him, my own tears threatening to fall. I turn back to Jennifer. "Tell me where Shrieff Stilinski is" I demand.

"Not unless you let me go" Jennifer replies, I just squeeze harder.

"Tell me!" I scream at her.

"Ash, please, don't do this. If she dies, Cora does too and I don't find my Dad. Please Ash, I can't lose him too" Stiles says, a few more tears fall down his cheeks. I sniff back tears of my own but I don't let her go.

"Ash" Scott said softly. I squeezed her neck harder, a bruise setting in. "ASH" Scott demanded and I dropped her to the floor.

"That's right, you need me, all of you" Jennifer said cockily, looking at all of us. Derek looked over at me angerily, regret washing off of him, probably due to having slept with the bad guy..AGAIN.

..

"I'm not helping you because I have to, i'm helping you because I want too. I don't want Cora to die" Jennifer says, breaking the silence that filled the camaro.

"Shut up" Derek says.

"I could still run, you wouldn't have an easy time stopping me"

"I said, shut up" Derek repeated. Jennifer opened her mouth to speak again but I growled lowly at her, cutting her off.

..

Derek drags Jennifer into the hospital and I follow with Scott and Stiles. I told everyone else to stay put, they didn't need to get involved too. We bumped into Mum.

"Is that her?" Mum asks. Everyone but me and Scott give her a questioning look.

"Yes, she's the Darach" I tell her and I can feel Derek's glare at the back of my head. We weren't supposed to tell people about us but she's my mother and i'll do what it takes to keep her safe.

"Why are you all here? And why does Stiles have my bat?" Mum asks.

"No claws remember?" Stiles says with an awkward chuckle. Mum just nods slowly.

"We're here for Cora" Derek tells her.

"All of you?" Mum asks.

"Mum! Can you just.." I say.

"Okay, i'm sorry. Continue down the hall, first room on the left on the corner, there's two more ambulances coming tonight, one's in 10 minutes and one's in 20 minutes. Cora needs to be on one of those okay?" I nod thankfully and we start to walk away. She catches my arm. "Keep you and your brother safe okay?" I nod and follow the others.

..

Her room's empty? The only evidence that she was here is the puddle of black blood and miseltoe on the floor.

"Derek, look" I say, there's droplets going out of the room and up the hall some more. We follow them and someone, I NEVER expected to see again is thrown through the double doors. "Peter?" I whisper and he looks up at me.

"We've got a problem, a big problem" he says, looking through the doors at Ethan and Aiden who have combined to become their giant alpha, Cora laying unconscious on the floor behind them. Before anyone can react to the fact that Peter is alive again in all his glory, the twins are coming towards us.

Scott and Derek growl, going after them. "Get Cora!" Derek yells to me as he runs toward the twins.

I look down at Peter. "Help me" I say to him and Stiles. We snuck past them and get to Cora. Peter lifts Cora up bridal style and we turn around to see Jennifer escaping in the elevator.

"All we want is her!" The giant alpha yells in Scott's face. I ran over and take out it's legs, pulling Scott with me as we all start running. We run into an empty room. Stiles falls back and when the giant alpha comes in he smashes the bat over his head, effecting the twins in no way just pissing them off even more. I growl at them as they turn to attack Stiles. The twins stalk towards me and Scott jumps in front of me, bringing a hanging light down and smashing it into the alpha's face, slowing it down. We take off into another room. Scott locks the doors and barracades them best he can. Peter lays Cora down on a surgical table.

"Okay, what the fuck is going on?!" I say to Peter. Stiles and Derek are having an arguement of their own. Stiles is freaking out because now Jennifer's gone and he won't be able to find his Dad.

Scott turns to Peter now. "How are you here?"

"What are you doing here Peter?" Derek asks him. Stiles starts yelling at Derek for brushing him off. The elevator dings and reveals Ms Blake, getting all of our attention.

"I brought Peter back to protect me. Now the whole alpha pack is here and I need all of you, help me get out and i'll heal her and tell you where your father is, Stiles." Jennifer says. I try to get at Jennifer but Derek stops me.

"Heal her!" I yell at Jennifer, pushing out of Derek's grip.

"Only when i'm out of here and safe" she says. She motions for Peter to go over to her and stand with her but he doesn't move.

"You really think I agreed to all this to actually help you?" Peter said with an evil chuckle. Jennifer just looked confused. "I always have a plan" Peter said and advanced on Jennifer. I follow Peter, he may have been a murderous psycho before but he came back to be with us again. We stop when I hear my Mum's voice over the intercom.

"Mr Deucalion..ex-excuse me..just Deucalion, wants you to bring the woman calling herself Jennifer Blake to the ER reception area within 10 minutes. If you do that, the rest of you can go" then the click of the intercom turning off was heard. I turn and growl at Jennifer again.

"She won't hurt your mother" Jennifer says quickly.

"Why not?!" I demand.

"Deucalion wants perfection, that means adding the rarest of alphas to his ranks"

"A true alpha" me and Peter say together. I had suspected this of Scott.

"What?" Derek asks.

"An alpha who doesn't have to steal his power" Peter says with a glare at Derek. "One that can rise by the force of his own will..our little Scott" Peter finishes. I knew I saw the red in his eyes. Derek looks at Scott in slight betrayal. Stiles looks suprised.

"It doesn't matter, what does matter is helping her escape so we can save Cora and John" I tell them, taking the attention away from Scott.

"We need to distract the twins" Scott says.

"We'll go" Derek says to Scott.

"Sorry but i'm not going anywhere without you Derek" Jennifer says and I growl quietly.

"I'll go then" Peter volunteers. "Let me prove myself"

"You're weak Peter" I say.

"That's what coming back from the dead will do" he says sarcastically. I narrow my eyes at him. "Come with me then, help me and Scott, Derek will be fine" I look at Derek and he nods, a small smirk creeps onto Jennifer's face.

"If you hurt him or ANYONE" I warned Jennifer, getting in her face. "I will tear your fucking throat out" I finished, baring my fangs at her.

"Ash, let's go" Scott said and I turned around following him and Peter out.
