It's been sixteen hours since Scott, Stiles and Allison went under,
" Jace?" Deaton asked, I felt like passing out, but a rough kick awoke me,
" Yeah?" I asked before stretching, he gave me a stern look,
" You should go home" He told me, I got up, but as I did, the three of them shot up,
" I saw it. I know where it is." Scott told us,
" We passed it. There's- There's a stump, this huge tree. Well, it's not huge anymore. It was cut down. But it's still big, though, very big." Stiles explained further,
" It was the night we were looking for the body." Scott said,
" Wait Laura?" I asked, Stiles nodded at me,
" Yeah, the same night you were bit by peter." Stiles said as I see Allison nod.
" I was there too, in the car with my mother. We almost hit someone." Allison said as I see Scott look at her,
" It was me. You almost hit me." Scott told her, I got a towel for Stiles,
" We can find it." Scott told us, but I had my arms crossed,
" You guys were out a long time." I explained to the three,
" How long is a long time?" Stiles asked, I rubbed my temples,
" 16 hours." Deaton told them, Scott looked shocked,
" We've been in the water for 16 hours?" He asked, I nodded, I felt another harsh kick,
" And the full moon rises in less than four." Deaton told them, I walked out of there in silence, I went to my car and drove back to the loft, as I got to our floor, I see
Cora at Derek's side, I got a water bottle and slowly guide it to his lips, he drinks a bit, then sees his sister.
" You're okay." Derek panted as Cora smiled at him, I feel a hand on my belly,
" I'm doing much better than you are right now, And all because of you." Cora explained, but I see Peter,
" Hopefully not all for nothing. The moon is rising, Derek. You drained your battery all the way to the red, And there is a fully charged alpha on her way to rip you
limb from limb." Peter said as he sways his head, I growled, my eyes changing, my inner fire flaring up heavily, but the baby gives a harsh kick,
" I'll be fine in a few hours." Derek said as I placed my head on his shoulder, a way to comfort him,
" I sincerely hope so, because a few hours is all that you have." Peter said as I growled, I whimpered as another harsh kick made me wince, but I relaxed,
" Jace? You ok?" Derek asked, I panted a bit, but relaxed,
" I'm ok" I told him, I went to the bed and laid down, it was an hour before Ethan and Lydia showed up,
" We know about the lunar eclipse, So don't think Kali's gonna sit around waiting for it to level the playing field. She's coming, and my brother's coming with her."
Ethan explained to us, I got up, a hand on my back, Derek's other hand came to my belly,
" Good enough for me. Derek?" Peter voiced his opinion out.
" You want me to run?" Derek asked, I felt another harsh kick, Derek then looked at me, I gave him a pained look,
" No. I want you to stay and get slaughtered by an alpha with a psychotic foot fetish. Of course I want you to run. Sprint, gallop, leap your way the hell out of this
town." Peter told him, Cora then looked at her brother,
" If you want to fight and die for something, that's fine with me, but do it for something meaningful." Cora explained to him.
" How do you know I'm gonna lose?" Derek asked his Uncle, who looked at Lydia,
" We don't, but I'll bet she has an idea. Don't you, Lydia?" Peter asked her, she was concerned,
" I don't know anything." Lydia replied, but Peter pressures her again,
" But you feel something, don't you?" He asked her, I watched her face change,
" What do you feel?" Derek asked her, she then looked up at us,
" I feel like... I'm standing in a graveyard." She replied, Derek, Cora and I got into the hummer,
" Don't call until you're at least 100 miles away. Go!" Peter told us, we then left, we were about to leave, but a loud supernatural scream stopped Derek,
" What the hell was that?" Cora asked her brother and I,
" Lydia. We have to go back." Derek told her, we went back to the loft, we see the twins dead, looks like their necks snapped and Kali is dead, glass shards impaled
into her body, but Jennifer or Julia is standing in the middle of the Loft, smiling in all her power glory.
" You did this for me?" Derek asked the Darach,
" For us. For anyone who's ever been their victim." She replied to his question,
" Stop talking to me like a politician. Stop trying to convince me of your cause!" He growled at her, I stayed by Cora,
" Fine, I'll convince you of someone else's. Scott. You can save his mother, Stiles's father." The Darach told him, wait what?
"I need a guardian, And that's a role that can either be filled by the three parents I was forced to take or by you." She explained, I don't fucking trust her one fucking
bit.
" I can't help you. I'm not even an alpha anymore." Derek told her, but she wasn't convinced,
" All I need is for you to help me get Deucalion in the right place at the right time." She explains her plan further,
" You just killed three of them on your own. What do you need me for?" Derek asked her, I hate her so much, makes my inner fire boiling in my soul.
" You haven't seen him at his strongest. I have. And If he's got Scott with him, I don't stand a chance unless I have you." She told him, I see Cora crying a bit,
" Derek, don't trust her." She cried to him,
" I have the eclipse in my favor, But the moon's only gonna be in the earth's umbral shadow for 15 minutes. That's the extent of my window. There's no decision to
struggle with. Help me kill him, and the others live. Just help me." She begged, I see Derek nod in defeat. I watched as Derek left with her, but as he turns to me, he
nods at me,
Stay safe I told him through our bond, warmth filled me, the door then shut, I growled, I felt so powerful, my inner HellCat writhing about inside me, the kicks from
my baby weren't helping, I felt anchored down, but I got up, I let my HellCat side take over, she growled, running, using all her senses, soon I arrived at the place
where this all started, but the Lunar Eclipse does nothing to me.
" Time for a bitch to burn" I growled as I snuck inside, I see the Darach slamming Duecalion's head on the ground,
" Jennifer!" Derek called out, she turned to him, I moved quietly through the place, the kicks are harsh but I calm them down,
" He doesn't know." Derek told her, she snarled at him,
" Know what?" She asked, her voice echoing.
" What you really look like. He knows the cost of bringing Kali into his pack, But he's never seen the price you paid." He explained to her, my eyes watching as they
were in HellCat mode,
" No. No, he hasn't." She said, she covered Duecalion's eyes, he soon screams, she pulls her hand away, his eyes are cleared,
" Turn to me. Turn to me!" She growled, Duecalion did as such, she turns into her human self, she is about to strike him, but the backlash of power drain hits her, she
falls but Derek catches her, my claws gripping into a pillar,
" What is this?" The Darach asked as Derek sighed,
" Healing him made you weak, just like healing Cora did to me. You won't have your strength for at least a few minutes." He explained, she smiles at my mate, I see
his claim bite exposed a little bit,
" Then you do it. Kill him." She begged of him, but Derek doesn't do it,
" Like my mother used to say, I'm a predator. I don't have to be a killer." Derek told her, he grips her throat,
" Let them go." He told her, but her face falls, she then slams him into a bunch of boxes, but soon I see his eyes glowing Beta Blue, I secretly preferred them, I feel
the moon's power return,
" Your 15 minutes are up." I growled, I appeared, I surrounded my body with flames, my claw out, my fangs exposed and my eyes changed,
" HellCat" The Darach said, I crossed my arms and unleashed a flame wave, not hitting Derek or Scott, it hits Jennifer, she screams, I was about to pounce till she
surrounded herself with a circle of mountain ash,
" Think this will stop me?" I asked, I passed through it, but she gripped my throat.
" Nice try" She told me, I tried loosening her grip,
" Like I told you, Derek, either you or the parents. Well, I guess I'll just have to take them, your lover, and your child. In a few minutes, they'll be dead, and I won't
need a lunar eclipse, even to kill a demon wolf." She growled out, I see Scott worried, he places his hands up,
" You've tried this before, Scott. I don't remember you having much success." She said with a smiled,
" Never underestimate a McCall" I growled, I watched as the barrier was wreaking, I watched as Jennifer's smile falls, Scott's eyes go from a beta gold to an
Alpha Crimson, he takes one step into the barrier then another, the barrier breaks, a sound wave echoed from the blast, Jennifer released me, I almost collapsed but
Derek caught me, I feel my HellCat letting me take control.
" How did you do that?" Jennifer asked, Scott opened her eyes and his physical state is much better, Derek hold me so close,
" I'm an alpha now. Whatever you're doing to cause this storm, make it stop, or I'll kill you myself. I don't care what it does to the color of my eyes." Scott told her, I
turned my head to see Duecalion,
" It won't change the color of mine, so allow me." He told her, I watched as Duecalion slashed her throat, she transforms back into her Darach form, she doesn't
move, I go to the entrance,
" It's over" I said with a smile, my phone rings it's Stiles,
" Scott? Jace?" He asked from the phone.
" Hey, are you okay?" I asked as I was concerned for him,
" Yeah, we're okay. We're all okay. How about you, you okay?" Stiles asked us,
" Sort of." Scott replied to this,
" You think you can come get us?" He asked us, I chuckled,
" Yeah, of course." Scott told him, I heard slight huffing,
" Great, okay. Um, uh, bring a ladder." Stiles told us, I heard chuckling, Derek, Scott and I turn to a newly healed Duecalion.
" My mother told me you were a man of vision once." Derek said as his arms are crossed,
" We're letting you go because we hope you can be that man again. But if you're not, then having your eyesight back won't matter, Because you'll never see us
coming." Scott told him, Derek, Scott and I watched him leave,
" It's a good thing" I said as I felt a small kick,
" Come on, lets go get them" I said with a smile, we got into Derek hummer, he drove to the closest place to get to the Nemeton, I see the trunk, there were doors
already opened,
" Hey Stiles" I said smiling, he smiles back at me, I watched as Derek and Scott helped everyone get out of the hole, when Uncle Noah came out, he embraced me, I
felt tears escaping my eyes,
" HellCat" He whispered, I pulled away from him and smiled,
" So he knows?" I asked Stiles, he nods, I made my eyes change,
" I knew since you were born, Marcus told me about being a supernatural, but I knew that he was Supernatural, as I did" He replied, I smiled at this,
" Derek never do that again" I told him, he chuckled at me, I smiled, I pulled away from him, he took everyone back home, I laid in bed,
" I have to take Cora back" He told me, I nodded to him,
" When will you be back" I asked, he smiled at me,
" Don't know, but I promise to be back in time for our little ones birth" He told me, I smiled, he caressed the exposed baby bump,
" Derek last night, when you left, Stiles and I were at the hospital, Scott's dad was there" I explained, Derek watches me,
" He thought that I was carrying Scott's baby" I told him Derek eyes glowed, I rub his hair,
" But Stiles stood up from me" I smiled as he calmed down,
" Don't worry this baby is ours and ours alone" He told me, I got up as I see Cora with her bag,
" Hey you keep in touch" I told her, she smiled then embraced me, which I embraced her back.
" Derek, keep your phone on" I told him, I felt another kick,
" I will" He replied to me, he then kisses me softly, it made me feel warm inside, I watched as they walked out of the loft, I go to the bed, getting under the covers, I
laid on my side, I already missed him, but I understand, my phone buzzed,
' Already miss you DH' It read, I smile, closing my eyes, I was ok.
