Derek's POV
Both Peter and I kept enduring the electricity, I hope Jace isn't feeling this at all,
" You see this equipment? Very old. The settings are not quite accurate anymore. So it's hard to tell just how far to turn the dial." Severo told us, Peter and I scream,
I see the smile on his face,
" I've seen some crack their teeth. Others, they just shake and shake even after their heart stops. Sometimes we don't even know they're dead." He told us, I
groaned at this, my body can endure this, but for how much longer,
" But nobody wants to play a guessing game. So, why don't you just tell us? Where is la loba?" Severo told us, he stopped the electricity.
" We don't know where la loba is." I said as I was trying to explain to them, but hunters are so damn stubborn,
" No?" He asked, I see him looking at my shoulder, the claim mark, fuck,
" Maybe you need a different method of persuasion? Maybe we cut one of you in half, the other talks?" He told us, Peter chuckled at this, stop provoking them damn
it!
" I would love to be there for volunteer, but we really don't know what you're talking about. And honestly, isn't bisecting people with a broad sword a little medieval?"
Peter told him, Severo chuckled at this,
" Broad sword? We're not savages." He told us, I see a Chainsaw whirling,
" We all wonder how far your little healing trick goes." He told us, a hunter brings the chainsaw over to me,
" What do you think? Can you grow back an arm? " Severo asked, the saw was close to my arm, then went to my neck, I feel Peter's gaze on me.
" We're pretty sure you can't grow back your head." Severo explained, I don't breath, I see Araya coming through some beads,
" Boys." She said to them, the guy wielding the chainsaw backs away after she said something in Spanish,
" No hablo espanol." I told her, but she smirked, her eyes going to the bite scar from Jace,
" Tu hablas muchos idiomas, Derek Hale. You know exactly what I'm saying. And you know who we want." She said smiling at us, she had a dagger,
" Where is the She-Wolf? It's not like you have something to protect" Araya told me, I don't move at all, I can't give away Jace or the baby, but the bite proves I'm
claimed, but not by what,
" We don't know any She-Wolf." I panted at her,
" I know you won't talk, lobito." She told me, then she turned her attention to Peter, she gets in front of him,
" This one will talk. This one loves the sound of his own voice." She told the hunters,
" You should hear me sing." Peter said as he smiled at her,
" We want to hear you scream." Severo told him, Peter then turns to me.
" No one ever wants to hear me sing." Peter said as Araya was becoming impatient,
" What could we do to persuade you, hmm? Where is the She-Wolf?" She grunted again, Peter looked like he was about to speak, but shuts his mouth, then Araya
cuts his finger off, he screaming so loud,
" Think about it. I'm only going to ask you nine more times." She said as she smiled, she then dropped Peter's finger,
" Someone better help us" I grunted at this.
Jace's POV
I was awoke by someone shaking me awake, it was both Stiles and Scott,
" Guy's what time is it" I asked as I sat up, they had concerned looks on their faces,
" It's only 6 Am" Stiles replied to me, I yawned, feeling a kick,
" Malia's a coyote" Scott explained to me, I went slightly wide eyed,
" A Damn WereCoyote?" I asked as I sat up completely, they nod, I thought about how to turn her back to human,
" An Alpha's roar can make a were turn back to normal" I told them, but Scott sighed at me,
" What was that for?" I asked him, I made my eyes glow, but his didn't glow in return,
" I have a fear of turning" Scott explained, I sighed,
" Go to school and get through the day, go to Deaton when you have a chance" I told them, they leave and I surround the bed in a mountain ash circle, good thing I
can pass it no problem, I just grabbed my phone, I see Derek's contact, I feel a stray tear escape my eyes, I press it anyways, but again get the voicemail,
This is Derek, you know what to do' It told me, it beeps and I wanna cry,
" Hey it's me, I wanna know where you are baby. I am worried about you. Please call me" I said before hanging up, I once again bring Derek's pillow to my body,
" Derek, please come home" I cried before breaking down, I once again, for the second time, cry myself to sleep.
Derek's POV
I was just hanging here, I once again felt fear and sadness enter the bond,
" Derek, please come home" Jace's voice was so heartbreaking, I wanted to be home and reassure her I was coming home, but right now, unless someone saves us,
we can't do anything,
" I don't want to make it sound like we don't appreciate your hospitality but do you think it would be possible to put that on ice?" Peter said as he looked at his
bleeding severed finger,
" Maybe something for my hand? Extra-large Band-Aid? Perhaps some antibiotic ointment?" He said as he continued provoking the hunter, but footsteps above us,
they shut him up, we then heard gun fire, a couple thuds, Severo got up and prepped his gun, a woman comes in an knocks him unconscious, she walked up to us
and smiled,
" You're the one who saved Isaac." I said as I see the scars on her neck,
" I'm the one who was hired to save Isaac." She said in a cocky voice,
" Someone hired you to get us out of here?" Peter asked as she smiled again, she starts to undo my restraints,
" Someone hired me to get Derek out of here. You, I'm totally fine leaving for dead." She said as I wanted to leave him here to die,
" When did I get this reputation?" Peter asked, really?
" Who hired you?" I asked her, she gets me completely free
" Deucalion." She explained as she began to slowly work at Peter's restraints,
" Deucalion? The guy who did that to you?" Peter asked her, she just smiled at him, getting ready for the other restraint,
" A girl's gotta eat. All right, let's get the hell out of here." She said as I see Peter get his severed finger, I get my shirt on and my phone, 3 missed voice messages
from Jace,
" We're not leaving without it." I told the mercenary, she looked confused,
" Without what?" She asked us, I sighed at her, but explained to her about the Hale Urn.
Jace's POV
I awoke to see Lydia, Scott and Stiles enter the loft,
" They said they'd meet us here." Lydia said as I see Aiden then Ethan attacking Scott, watching this was mentally painful,
" I thought you guys were gonna teach me to roar." Scott asked as I see the twins above him, Aiden smirked at him and Ethan was calmer,
" We are. You do it by giving in." Aiden replied, being clear about the way of their teachings,
" Giving in and letting go. That's how Deucalion taught us control." Ethan tells Scott, Scott slightly gets up and Aiden punches him,
" Hey, you know, that's funny. I've actually tried something like this one time using a heart monitor and lacrosse balls. But you're right, beating the living crap out of
him is probably a lot better." Stiles says as he stayed back with the Banshee.
" That's actually the plan? You kick my ass?" Scott asked as he sounded slightly concerned for his own safety, Scott can always heal, I stayed within my barrier of
mountain ash,
" You're afraid to turn." Aiden explained as Ethan bounded around him,
" We're gonna make you. You turn. Then you kick our asses." Ethan explained their plan to make Scott turn, but I feel it has to be in a more serious setting than this,
" And then you roar." Aiden retorted to Scott, he turned around his Omega blue eyes glowing and teeth exposed, a roar expelled from his throat,
" You don't think you can let go with us?" Aiden asked as he punched Scott, this has got to stop,
" You think you're going to hurt us?" Ethan asked, well if Scott can unlock his true power, he can.
" Come on, McCall. Give it your all." Aiden said as he continued to provoke Scott, but he wasn't budging,
" We can always heal." Ethan told him, but I see Aiden going at it again,
" You're an Alpha. You want to roar like one, you've got to give in full throttle. You've got to be the monster. Become the beast. Become everything you're afraid of."
Aiden yelled at him, Scott is bleeding from his nose and mouth,
" That's what gives you power. It gives you strength." Ethan said calmly, even when training, he is calm, while Aiden is more of a beast.
" Giving into it doesn't make you the bad guy." Aiden says as he pushes Scott, trying to provoke him,
" So long as you can control it." Ethan explained further, great, I just wanted this to end,
" Sometimes control's a little overrated." Aiden told Scott, I see him slap Scott pretty hard,
" Come on, Scott. Fight back." Stiles told Scott, trying to convince him to fight,
" What if I can't control it? What if I can't turn back?" Scott asked them, I can feel his concern for what could happen after he changes back,
" Then it takes over. You become Malia. You get further and further away from being human. You turn into an animal. Or worse." Ethan explained, wait? What could
be worse than becoming a mindless animal?
" You turn into Peter." Aiden yelled, I stiffened where I was, behind the barrier, I see Scott wiping the blood from his mouth, he rushes Aiden, but he slams him on the
table then repeatedly punches him in the face, I hear bones cracking, Ethan finally steps in and stops the assault,
" What? I thought we were helping him." Aiden growled at his brother,
" You help too much." Ethan told him, I see the slightly guilty face on him, I walked out of the barrier and helped Scott up,
" LEAVE" I growled at the twins, they do as I said and left, I got Scott a towel and got rid of the blood,
" Make sure he gets home safe" I told my cousin, he nods then embraces me, I did the same, the best I could with my belly, we parted and they left,
" Derek, they need you" I whispered to the moon, I got back to the bed and picked up my phone, I was about to click Derek's contact again, but I put my phone on
silent and hope that he called me when I awoke, but till then I needed to stop stressing and worry about Baby Hale/Salvatore, I then closed my eyes and fell asleep
with Derek's pillow against my body.
Derek's POV
Searching through this place was a nightmare, but I see the mercenary, known as Braeden in front of a chest, I placed my hand on it, but I feel shocking, damn it,
mountain ash,
" Derek, they need you" Jace's voice whispered in my mind, I'll be home soon,
" It's made from a Rowan tree. It's mountain ash wood." I told them, Braeden opened the chest and lifted the top, but mountain ash blocked the Urn,
" And that would be just mountain ash. Somebody really doesn't want our hands in there." Peter told her, she rolled her eyes and dug into it, she pulled the Urn out, I
then take it from her and we leave, I get into my hummer with Peter,
" You drive, I gotta listen to some messages" I told him, he rolled his eyes, but began to drive,
' You have three voice messages' my phone told me,
' Hey, it's me, where are you? I thought you would be back by now. But just letting you know, I'm ok, see you soon, I love you' Jace's voice was filled with so much
normality,
' Next message' it told me.
' Hey it's me, still haven't gotten back to me, and I am worried about you, I am fine, but kinda worried, about you, can't help it with the bond we share, amoungst
other things' Jace's voice this time had more worry, but continued,
' And someone else misses you as much as I do, so when you can get your sourwolven ass to answer me, I would appreciate it if you did, love you' Her voice this
time had some anger in it, that was as expected from her and I love her for putting up with me for so long,
' Last message' my phone said as I waited for my last message,
' Hey it's me, I wanna know where you are baby. I am worried about you. Please call me' This time I can feel so much of her emotion, sadness, worry and mostly
loneliness,
" Seems like there's some tension" Peter told me, I rolled my eyes at him.
" At least my finger didn't get cut off" I told him sternly, he mumbled something, I looked at Jace's icon with her contact, I had my thumb over her contact, I sighed
at this, I pressed and heard the ring, but I was sent to voicemail,
' Hey it's Jace, you know what to do' it told me, I got a beep, I sighed, but went on,
" Hey, I'm sorry I missed your calls, your important calls, I don't blame you for not picking up, I just need to let you know that I love you and will see you soon, I
promise" I told the voice messenger, I hung up and watched the moon,
' Mother, please guide me to make sure my love stays safe' I pray to the moon, the moon goddess' a powerful source of guidance, it's a wolven legend,
" I'm coming home Jace" I whispered into the bond.
