I walked out of a hole behind Derek and Scott and looked to my left and saw Derek's place. We walked towards it.
"I was next to your own house and you couldn't find me?" I questioned Derek.
"I didn't know you would be so close." Derek said.
"And why is my bike here?" I asked, spotting my black bike.
"Scott drove it here." Derek said.
"Thanks for throwing me under the bus." Scott said. I paused and looked around.
"Hey. Hold on." I breathed. "Hold on. Hold on." Scott and Derek stopped and turned to face me. I turned and scouted the area behind me with my eyes. I turned back to Derek and Scott. "Something doesn't feel right."
"What do you mean?" Derek asked. I kept looking around for any defaults.
"I don't know." I muttered. "It was. . . It was kind of like it was. . ."
"No, don't say too easy." Scott said. "People say too easy and bad things happened." I rolled my eyes and sighed. "What, do you think finding you was easy? Getting away from Allison's dad? Getting away from your dad with all the questions? None of this had been easy."
"Fine. You're right." I sighed.
"Thank you." Scott muttered. An arrow whooshed out of the air and hit Derek in the left shoulder he fell to the ground with a groan of pain. He stood back up as another one hit him in the left leg. This time he stayed down. Scott and I looked around and saw Kate and Allison who had a long bow. Another arrow fired.
"Cover your eyes!" Derek yelled. Too late. The arrow hit the tree behind me and the world around me disappeared as I fell to the grounded, blinded. Scott dropped beside me. Derek groaned in agony as he pulled out the arrows and got up and pulled me and Scott up to our feet and pushed us to his house. We walked five steps and fell to the ground because Derek still had part of the arrow in his leg and Scott and I were still partly blinded. I rolled onto my back and saw Allison storming towards Scott. Oooh, I'm guessing she found out that Scott's a werewolf. Not my girlfriend, not my problem.
"Allison, I can explain." Scott said.
"Stop lying." Allison ordered. "For once stop lying.
"I was gonna tell you the truth at the formal. I was gonna tell you everything. Because everything I said, everything I did. . . "
"Was to protect me."
"Yes."
"I don't believe."
"Thank God." Kate's voice sounded irritated. I looked past Allison to see Kate making her way to us. "Now, shoot him before I have to shoot myself."
"You. . . You said we were just going to catch them." Allison said.
"We did that. Now, we're gonna kill them." Kate pulled out a gun and shot Derek in the head as she past him.
"Derek!" I screamed even though I knew that he would heal.
"See? Not that hard." Kate said walking to Allison. "Oh, no. . . Tsk. I know that look. That's the you're gonna have to do it yourself look. Tsk." She pointed the gun at Scott's head and Scott looked from Allison to Kate and back again in shock.
"Kate, Kate, what are you doing?" Allison asked. She tried to push Kate away from Scott but Kate pushed her back and Allison fell to the ground with a groan.
"Mmmm, I love those brown eyes." Kate said.
"Kate!" I looked back into the woods to see Chris walking towards us. "I know what you did. Put the gun down."
"I did what I was told to do." Kate told her brother in a quiet voice.
"No one asked you to murder innocent people. There were children in that house, ones who were human. Look what you're doing now. You're holding a gun to a sixteen year old boy with no proof he spilled human blood. We go by the code. . . Nous chassons ceux qui nous chassent." French.
"We hunt those who hunt us." Allison translated softly beside me. I heard the trigger clicking in Kate's gun. Chris pulled out his own gun and pointed it at Kate.
"Put the gun down." Chris ordered. A bullet flew out of Chris's gun and hit the tree behind Kate. Kate looked at the tree then stared at Chris in shock. "Before I put you down." Kate slowly lowered her gun. A creaking noise sounded from the house and I looked towards it and saw the door slowly opening. "Allison, get back." Allison didn't move. Scott and I scrambled to our feet as Kate and Chris pointed there guns to the door. Allison got to her feet finally and picked up her longbow.
"What is it?" Allison asked.
"It's the Alpha." I growled. Something shot out of the house in the blur and disappeared into the darkness. We all turned around and followed its movements. A growl sounded and he shot from the darkness and disappeared again, knocking Chris to the ground. Then, it was Allison. Then, Scott. Something headbutted me in the back of the legs and I did a flip in the air and landed on my stomach. It was Kate who was left standing.
"Come on!" Kate yelled at the Alpha. "Come on!" Two shots fired and then a groan and then silence.
"No!" Allison cried and then she was gone in the house too. Scott scrambled to his feet and ran into the house with me behind him and Derek behind me. About damn time he healed. I growled at Peter when I saw him make his way to Allison. He stopped and looked from me to Scott to Derek.
"Run." I ordered Allison. She turned and bolted out the house. Derek, Scott and I growled in unison at Peter and ran at him. But since he was an Alpha, he was stronger and smarter than all three of us combined when it came to fighting. He threw Scott to his left and Derek to his right and me over his head. Derek ran at him and Peter grabbed him by the chest, threw him up into the air where he hit his back in the ceiling and Derek fell to the ground on his chest. Peter kicked Derek in the stomach and threw him into the wall. Scott got up and attacked Peter from the back but Peter grabbed him and threw him down on his back in front of him. I ran to the front of Peter and did a flip back as I kicked him under the chin and hissed at him. Peter threw a punch to my right jaw and then punched me in the back. He then picked me up by the back and threw me into Derek who was making a move towards him. We clashed onto the floor with Derek on top of me. Peter growled. Scott ran across the tables to Peter but Peter threw him into the wall. I pushed Derek off of me and got to my feet, growling at Peter as I made my way to him. He kneed me twice in the stomach and pushed me into a wall. I ducked down as his fist connected with the wall where my face had been seconds before. I weaseled my way around Peter and pushed him up against the wall as I kneed him twice in the right side. Peter growled. He turned around and smacked me and I fell to the ground. I looked up to see Peter transform into that big hairy creepy ugly ass beast. He grabbed Scott and I by the neck and threw us through a window and we landed on our stomachs on the forest floor. I groaned in pain. Peter leaped out the house and grabbed me by the neck and lifted me into the air. I planted my feet on his chest and did a black flip, pushing Peter back and tripping over his own feet. Tires screeched behind and I turned to see Jackson's Porsche. Stiles and Jackson both got out. Stiles threw a chemistry bottle at Peter but Peter caught it and growled at Stiles.
"Oh, damn." Stiles muttered.
"Allison!" Scott called to her as he picked up her longbow and tossed it to her. Allison quickly loaded and pulled the arrow back and fired at the bottle, making it explode and flames erupted on Peter's arm. Jackson threw another bottle at Peter and his body lit up. Peter growled at Allison and dropped down on all fours and began to walk towards her.
"No!" Scott cried as he ran forward and kicked Peter in the face. He fell back and wandered away from us. He managed to transform to his human form and fell onto his back on the ground. Fire crackled around us. Derek came out of the house and walked to Peter's body and kneeled down beside him. "Wait! You said the cure comes from the one that bit you. Derek. If you do this, I'm dead. Her father, her family. . . What am I suppose to do?"
"You've. . ." I heard Peter say to Derek as he gasped for breath. "Already. . . Decided. I can smell it on you." Derek raised his hand into the air, claws extended.
"Wait!" Scott yelled. "No, no, don't" Too late. Derek bought his hand down, slashing Peter throat. He stood up and looked at me.
"I'm the Alpha now." He growled, eyes growling blood red. Allison and Chris left. Then, Scott and Stiles left together. It was just me, Derek and Jackson. Derek made his way to me and placed his hands on my hips. As much as I liked it, I pushed him away. "Lily, what's wrong?" I ran my hands down my face.
"I can't do this anymore." I said.
"What do you mean?"
"I can't do this anymore. Sometimes I don't know whether you're my loving boyfriend or you're my boyfriend who wants to kill me."
"Lily,"
"Derek," I stepped forward and gripped his face in my hands. "Derek, I know that I'm totally, madly in love with you but I don't know if you are with me."
"Lily, please,"
"I can't. I can't, Derek. I'm sorry. I just can't." I walked away from him to my bike.
"Lily," I climbed on and pulled my helmet on. "Calla," I turned the engine on and kicked my kickstand on. "Callana!" I pushed on the gas and shot out of the woods. I turned on the radio and My Happy Ending by Avril Lavigne came on. Such the perfect song for this time.
