"You sing the sweetest little song. Won't you sing for me, hmm?" Drusilla questions her new pet bird as she stands in the middle of the old milling Factory in Beacon Hills. She and Spike had returned last night after a failure trip to the Hellmouth, the town was run by vampires pretty much but none of whom cared to give them information on Angelus. And without him Drusilla would remain weak.
At least for now.
Drusilla sighs as she stares at the dead bird laying in it's cage "Don't you love me anymore?"
"Darling." Spike calls out to his love as he walks into the room and other to the raven haired beauty "I heard a funny thing. Luscious told me that me that you went out on a hunt when we returned."
"My tummy was growly and you were out." She tells him in a hushed tone before turning back to her bird and smiling dreamily "I saw the most magical creature, Spike, so beautiful, a Kanima. It was so full of death." She giggles softly before pouting at her dead bird "Come on." She begs whistling, "I'll pout if you don't sing. I'll give a seed if you sing."
Spike groans in annoyance "The bird's dead Dru, you left it in a cage and you didn't feed it, and now it's all dead, just like the last one."
As he snaps at her Drusilla's eyes wide and she steps back whimpering, Spike sighs and tilts his head sadly "Oh, I'm sorry, baby. I'm a bad rude, man. I just don't like you goin' out, that's all. You are weak." Sighing he takes her hand kissing her fingers "Would you like a new bird? One that's not dead."
Drusilla merely shakes her head before smiling "I want the creature Spike. Will you get the creature for me."
"Of course pet." Spike promises her.
However the two were interrupted as a new voice echoes through the factory "This is so cool. I would totally live here."
Spike's eyes widen and he turns only to stare in shock as there stood at the entrance was a human teenage boy, what the bloody hell? "Do I have anyone on watch here?" Spike exclaims "It's called security, people. Are you all asleep?"
Sighing in annoyance he steps forward and couldn't help but smirk, he had to admit he was a tad hungry so this worked out well "Or did we finally find a restaurant that delivers?"
As he circles to stand closer to the human, the boy merely stares at him with wide curious eyes, not an inch of fear "I know who you are."
"Yeah, I know who I am, too. So what?"
"I came looking for you, Spike."
Spike snorts in amusement as he watches the human, he had to give it to the boy he had balls "You have a real death wish. It's almost interesting. So how did you find me?"
"That doesn't matter." The boy tells him "I've got something to offer you. I'm pretty sure this is the part where you take out a watch and say I've got 30 seconds to convince you not to kill me." He says a big childlike grin going over his face as he imagines it "It's traditional."
Spike sighs, what with it with these humans being so obsessed with traditions from terribly written books and bad movies "Well, I don't go much for tradition." Walking over he grabs the human by the side of the head and move to eat him only for Drusilla's voice to make him halt "Wait, love."
Spike sighs before letting go of the boy, Drusilla may be crazy but she could see things no one else could, if she wanted him alive there was a reason for it "Well?"
The boy gasps before turning back to Spike looking up at him like a child on Christmas "Oh, come on. Say it. It's not fun if you don't say it."
Spike stands there in disbelief, this kid was out of his nutter, "What?" Rolling his eyes he groans before finally giving the idiot what he wanted "You've got 30 seconds to convince me not to kill you."
"Yes!" The teen exclaims jumping for joy smiling brightly "See, this is the best. I want to be like you. A vampire."
Spike couldn't help but stare at the kid dumfounded, screw having him around for eternity, not a bloody chance "I've known you for two minutes, and I can't stand you. I don't really feature you living forever. Can I eat him now, luv?" He asks turning to his woman only to frown as she shakes her head, this boy had something they wanted she could feel it.
"Well feature this." The teen offers up drawing Spike's attention "I'm offering you a trade. You make me a vampire...and I give you The Slayer."
Buffy groans as she shuts her locker before turning and leaning against the cold metal while Stiles continued to yammer on about the talk he had with Deaton's friend Giles.
Stiles merely smiles as he thinks back to the chat he had with the British Watcher, he was freaking awesome "G-Man knew so much it was awesome."
Buffy's eyes widen and she holds up her hand cutting him off as she stares at him in shock "You gave Giles a nickname?"
Stiles nods happily "Yeah...he didn't like it."
The blonde snorts at that before adjusting her books in her arms and beginning to head down the hall, Stiles sighs and runs after her so they were walking side by side "No offence to Deaton, sure he's great Watcher and all. But I feel like you need a new Watcher. Preferably Giles. Plus his accident makes me smile."
Buffy arches a brow before shaking her head "You're are a strange little man Stiles. And if you like the accent so much why don't I send you to Spike as a gift. I'm sure you'd have so much fun."
Stiles rolls in eyes in annoyance before continuing to head towards their first class, as they walk he watches her curiously, he had to admit he was desperate to know what she had decided about the Derek thing. However before he could say another word both of them freeze as the entrance doors open and in struts, Isaac, Buffy's eyes widen in shock and horror, he was supposed to be a fugitive not here at school.
"This is bad." Stiles mumbles as they watch Isaac who smirks at them as he struts past them like a freaking runway model, Buffy gulps before huffing in annoyance "Where's the apocalypse when you need it?"
"All right, I only found one thing online called The Kanima." Stiles tells Buffy and Scott as the three of them exit their first class, Buffy scoffs "You mean G-man did."
"No." Stiles huffs glaring at her before shaking his head still quite confused at what happened with Giles "He blew up and refused to touch the computer. I think he hates technology. Like really hates it, it was weird." Sighing he gets back to his point "Anyway, it's a were-jaguar from South America that goes after murderers."
"That thing was not a jaguar."
At Scott's words Buffy nods in agreement "Pretty sure when it was trying to bite my face off I didn't think aw cute kitty."
Stiles groans, could they get back to the point where it seemingly was trying to kill him "Well I'm not a murderer!"
"You did murder my cat." Buffy points out and Scott couldn't help but nod, she wasn't wrong "Yeah you did."
Stiles's mouth flops open and he growls in annoyance, it was 10 years ago! And it was an accident "I was 6."
"And I loved that cat." Buffy reminds him before rolling her eyes at his unamused glare, okay she would have to save that for another time, thinking for a moment she frowns "You did see it kill someone."
Scott nods coming to the same conclusion as the blonde, pretty much that Stiles was screwed "Which is probably why it tried to kill you. And it's still trying to kill you, and it probably won't stop until your dead."
Stiles eyes widen and he groans, "You know sometimes I really begin to question this friendship." He huffs using quotation marks before turning to Buffy expecting her to take his side.
The blonde merely crosses her arms "You shouldn't have killed my cat." She tells him before walking off while Stiles yells "It was an accident...sort of...that cat was a dick!"
Before Buffy enters the classroom Stiles glances over at Scott with a curious look, he had maybe a minute before Buffy freed herself from Lydia and headed into their class. Slapping Scott's arm he ignores the annoyed glare Scott throws him before sighing "Has Buffy told you what she's decided yet?"
Scott sighs and turns back to his book, Stiles had been pestering about this since he had given Buffy the ultimatum, and it was starting to drive him freaking crazy "Not yet."
Stiles sighs and moves to ask another question only to quickly turn back to his book as Buffy walks into the room followed closely by a very panicked-looking Jackson. The blonde takes her seat behind Stiles and Jackson behind Scott. As she places her books on the table Buffy jumps as Jackson throws a pencil at her, picking it up she glares at him "Do you want to wear an eye patch, eh Captain?" She questions raising the pencil pointing it right at his eye.
Jackson sighs "Just hear me out." He huffs before trying to get Scott and Stiles' attention too "Hey, testicle left and right. And bottle blonde."
"Eye patch." Buffy warns again before rolling her eyes "Five words or less."
"What the hell is a Kanima?"
Buffy, Scott, and Stiles all freeze up their mouths going wide as they move to turn to face Jackson only for unlucky timing to hit them as Coach walks in and slams the textbooks on his desk with a loud thud "All right, listen up." He tells them all "Quick warning before we begin our review. Some of you, like McCall, might want to start your own study groups because tomorrow's midterm is so profoundly difficult...I'm not even too sure I could pass it."
Buffy gulps at that "I'm gonna be sick." She moans before dropping her head to her desk only to sigh as Jackson draws her Attention "Paralyzed from the neck down. Do you have any idea what the feels like?"
"I'm familiar with the sensation." Stiles comments making Jackson roll his eyes before turning to Buffy "Your boyfriend is a psycho."
Buffy clenches her jaw "I'm gonna break your face if you mention him to me again."
"I wouldn't recommend getting hit by her." Stiles says with a nod.
Scott sighs before turning to Jackson they needed to know what he knew, they were still in the dark here about everything "Why would Derek test you?"
"Because Jackson has the personality of a slimy snake." Buffy says simply smirking however that's when something occurs to her, Jackson had been bit and nothing had happened to him. But he wasn't the only one.
Her face falls and she turns her head where Lydia was sat "No." She breaths before clenching her jaw and turning to Jackson "What did they say about Lyd?" She hisses out because she was pissed if she found out Derek had put a hit out on her best friend's life, sending diddle dumb and diddle dumber in, things were going to get very violent.
"Something about chemistry."
As the four of them converse none of them notice Coach quietly approaching them before he screams over them "Jackson! Do you have something you want to share with the rest of the class?"
As Coach grills Jackson, Buffy, Scott, and Stiles all shift back staring down at their books while Jackson remains frozen like a petrified rat "Um...just an undying admiration for my...my Coach."
Coach watches him for a moment before smiling "That's really kind of you." However just as Jackson starts to relax Coach's smile drops "Now shut up! Shut it! Anybody else?"
The second Coach walks off Scott turns to Buffy, Buffy knew Lydia better then him and Stiles, if there was any chance of Lydia being the Kanima Buffy would know.
"How do we know it's not her?"
"It's not." The blonde huffs, before running a hand through her hair "You have no idea the things Lydia has done for me. She's not evil."
"She's at least 50% evil." Stiles interjects making Buffy glare at him and kick the back of his chair.
As Stiles winces in pain the blonde shakes her head turning to Scott with begging eyes, he had to believe her "It's not her Scott. And if anyone tries to touch her I swear to god, I will rip them to shreds all while doing my nails at the same time."
Both Scott and Stiles gulp at that before they nod turning away from the blonde, only to frown as they hear Coach yelling Lydia's name. Turning they watch as Lydia stands at the front of the class by the board a confused look on her face.
Buffy frowns before her eyes widen and she slaps Scott and Stiles "I'm not saying she is the Kanima but, she just wrote someone help me backward."
"Buffy you know Derek better than we do..." Scott reminds the blonde as she, Stiles, and himself walk into Chemistry. While he had promised to keep the Derek talk to a minimum until she had figured out what she was going to, they didn't really have a choice right now.
The blonde clenches her jaw and shakes her head, it was becoming very clear to her that the Derek she knew and the Derek they were dealing with were very different people. "The Derek I knew is gone." She whispers before sighing "He won't touch her without proof, he'll test her first."
"But when and where?" Stiles questions however their question was quickly answered as they spot Erica and Isaac walking into the room.
Scott eyes's widen and he turns to Buffy "Go." Buffy nods and quickly begins walking over to Lydia's table smirking at Erica and Isaac as she turns to face them as they take the table behind her and Lydia.
"Try anything, and I'll shove your head..." She says pointing at Isaac "...Up her ass." She says smiling at Erica before turning back to the front where Stiles and Scott were now sat in front of the two girls.
"Buffy?" Lydia questions noticing the way Buffy was acting really weird "Is this a V problem?" She whispers making Scott frown as he hears her, Buffy waves him off she would have to explain that later, the blonde sighs and nods "Sort of. Just do whatever I say and you'll be safe okay?"
Lydia's eyes widen in a slight panic, she didn't like this but slowly she nods "Ok."
Buffy sighs before clenching her fist just as Mr. Harris walks into the classroom, Buffy couldn't help but groan, Harris mixed with werewolves trying to kill her best friend...this was officially a freaking nightmare.
"Einstein once said, two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity and I'm not sure about the universe. I myself have encountered infinite stupidity." He says as he taps Stiles' arm as he walks past him, however when Harris looks at Buffy he quickly decides to go around the classroom in a different direction "So, to combat the plague of ignorance in my class, you're going to combine efforts through a round of group experiments. Let's see if two heads are indeed better than one. Or in Mr. Stilinski's case less than one. Erica take the first station...you'll start with..." Harris halts in his words as he spots every single guy in class except for Scott and Stiles holding up their hand to volunteer, the teacher couldn't help but sigh in annoyance.
Buffy groans and she couldn't help but roll her eyes she could practically feel the smugness coming off Erica, snorting she mumbles under her breath knowing Erica could hear her "Do you think they'll still volunteer when I rip out all your cheap extensions?" At Erica's slight growl Buffy grins, she may have liked the girl but you mess with her friends and you get the Slayer's bad side.
Mr. Harris sighs, "I didn't ask for Volunteers. Put your hormonal little hands down. Start with Mr. McCall. All right, next two."
Buffy clenches her jaw as she is forced to sit beside Isaac who continued to smirk at her like a little goblin, tucking a strand of hair behind her hair she sighs at glances over at Stiles who was sat with Danny, he offers her a thumbs up making her shake her head in amusement.
Sighing she turns over to Isaac who chuckles at her "I thought you'd be a bigger talker."
Buffy snorts as she grabs one of the vials and begins pouring the solution "And I thought you'd be smarter than to mess with me. Apparently, you have some brain cells missing."
Isaac couldn't help but smile as he moves to help her with the project "I see why Derek likes you. Your sassy."
Buffy clenches her jaw at the mention of Derek "Here's an idea...get your boss to leave my best friend alone...and maybe just maybe I won't shove my foot so far up your ass that I'll be able to give myself a pedicure."
Isaac's eyes widen at that before he smiles even more as he spots Stiles keep glancing back at the two of them glaring at him specifically "Huh." He hums "You may wanna keep an eye on that one, too." He warns the blonde, making her frown turning her head she spots Stiles watching them before turning back to Isaac she was getting really sick of Derek's Betas threatening her friends "Why's that?"
Isaac smirks as he leans his hand on his chin looking up at the beautiful yet annoyed vampire slayer having no idea how much she could hurt him with her hands tied behind her back "Cause Derek's the jealous type. I was told you're off-limits and trust me I asked."
Buffy couldn't help but groan at that "Ew."
"Let me put it this way... if Derek sees that look on Stilinski's face...you'll end up with two dead best friends."
Buffy's eyes widen in confusion at that and she turns to look at Stiles who looks back down at his word, sighing she shakes her head. She and Stiles were only friends, she was pretty sure if Stiles was in love with her she would now, plus she was pretty sure he would have told her if he felt that way, there was no way, she drove him insane.
However her focus wasn't on that right now, it was the fact he had just threatened another one of her friends, tilting her head she smiles sweetly "Isaac you're chair looks wobbly."
Isaac frowns only to yell as Buffy slams her foot onto the wood chair shattering one of the legs off causing the werewolf to go crashing to the ground. As he hits the ground with a slam the entire class and Mr. Harris all turn to stare in shock, the blonde merely shrugs "He's clumsy. Aren't you Isaac?" She asks as she helps him back up giving him a hand, as he stands he holds in a gasp as she tightens her grip around his hand, a grip that was making what Derek did to his arm this morning seem pleasant "Yep."
Buffy grins "Goodie." And with that Harris rolls his eyes and dings the bell "Switch." He tells them all before turning to Buffy "No sharp objects for you."
Buffy rolls her eyes before sitting back next to Lydia, however her eyes widen as she realizes who Stiles was now sat beside...Isaac.
"Buffy." Lydia whispers, she was freaking out now, first Buffy warning her there may be a 'V' problem then Allison telling her not to talk to Isaac or Erica, what the hell was going on "Can you tell me what is going on?"
Buffy sighs before squeezing her hand "I'm gonna keep you safe okay. I promise. Just I know you like to be the boss but today...you need to listen to me...and if you do...oh god I'll let you choose my outfits for a week."
Slowly the fear falls from Lydia's eyes as though she was already planning out how to fix Buffy's lack of thin heels, she so needed to get rid of those platform boots "Deal."
Buffy shakes her head in amusement before turning her head watching Stiles and Isaac for a moment, she had a feeling whatever they were talking about was not pleasant.
Isaac turns his head winking at the blonde Slayer who glares at him only making him smirk as he turns back to Stiles who's jaw was clenched in anger "I may think she's at least 60% evil...but she's Buffy's best friend and so if you lay one hand on her, I'm gonna turn your little werewolf ass into a fur coat and give it to her as a birthday present."
Isaac couldn't help but laugh in amusement before he turns to Stiles slightly curious "Can I ask you a question, you wanna protect Lydia for Buffy, right? How do you know she's really on your side?"
Stiles frowns at that before scoffing, Isaac had no idea what he was talking about, he didn't know Buffy not the way he did "You don't know her."
"But Derek does." Isaac reminds him enjoying the way Stiles' jaw tightens at the werewolf Alpha's name "Do you really think she'll turn her back on him? She's in love with him."
"Was in love with him." Stiles tells him as he continues with the project "I can't imagine her enjoying his psycho antics against someone she sees as a sister."
Isaac watches him for a moment before smiling knowing exactly what was going to hit him here "You know I've been in your position. Always second best. Aren't you always second best Stiles?"
Stiles' eyes widen and before he could come up with a brilliant sarcastic retort the bell rings again and Harris calls out "Switch."
Stiles groans before ending up on the three-person section with Buffy and Scott, only for them all to panic as they realize who Lydia was now stranded with. Isaac.
"No, no, no, no." Buffy mumbles as she moves to get to her only for Harris to block her causing her to reluctantly step back "Probation Miss Summers. Remember."
Buffy clenches her jaw and tightens her fist making Scott and Stiles glance at each other gulping slightly, angry mean Buffy was coming, not good. Both of them grab her arms yanking her back to her seat "You can't get expelled."
Buffy sighs at Scott's words before she clenches her jaw "We have to do something."
"We won't let her get hurt." Scott promises her as he forces himself to look away from Allison who was sat with Erica.
Buffy sighs and runs a nervous hand through her hair only to jump slightly as Harris rings the bell again "Time." He tells the class "If you've catalyzed the reaction correctly, you should now be looking at a crystal."
The three turn to their jar only for Buffy to make of face of disgust, the inside of their jar looked like raw dough, she was so failing this class.
"How?" She mumbles "Just how do we suck that much?" She asks them both causing both boys to just shrug in as much confusion as her, however, the three's attention was drawn back to the teacher as he reveals something else about the crystal "Now, for the part of the last experiment I'm sure you'll all enjoy, you can eat it."
Buffy groans and looks at the dough again "I'm good. So good no, just no." Stiles chuckles and holds it up to her nose "Ugh Stiles stop it!" She huffs pushing his hand away from her.
As Stiles and Buffy argue over the dough Scott turns his head only to spot Isaac handing Lydia the crystal, it's then that he realizes how they were going to test her...the Kanima venom. Isaac had covered the crystal in it.
As she begins to eat it he panics and stands screaming her name "Lydia!"
Everyone in the class and Lydia spin around in their chairs frowning in confusion "What?"
Scott panics slightly and groans before sitting back down "Nothing." Turning to Buffy he gives her a pointed look and the blonde's eyes widen spinning her head to look at her strawberry blonde she watches intently as Lydia bites into the crystal praying that the venom would affect her. Normally she wouldn't want her paralyzed but if the venom didn't affect her...things were going to get complicated and quick.
The three watch their eyes glued to her and Buffy couldn't help but stare with wide horrified eyes as nothing happens, she grabs onto her hair panicking, this couldn't be happening, Lydia couldn't be the Kanima. Could she?
"Buffy." Scott whispers drawing her attention, the blonde looks up from the desk and frowns before he gestures out the window and she couldn't help but gulp, outside in the parking lot not waiting for Lydia...was Derek.
"Derek's outside, waiting for Lydia." Scott tells Stiles and Allison as he and Buffy lead them into one of the storage rooms.
Allison's eyes widen and she turns to her boyfriend with terrified eyes "Waiting to kill her?"
Scott nods "If he thinks she's the Kanima, then yes, especially after what happened at the pool." Sighing he turns to look at Buffy only to frown as he spots the blonde pacing back and forth looking like she was about to have a complete mental breakdown. Buffy shakes her head to herself before turning back to Scott "It's not her...it can't be."
"Buffy, she didn't pass the test. Nothing happened."
"I don't care!" She yells before sighing and leaning against the wall before dropping her head into her hands, what the hell was she supposed to do?! She would kill to protect Lydia she knew that but this was Derek...it wasn't exactly something she ever thought may happen.
Allison sighs and squeezes Buffy's shoulder supportively before turning to the boys "It doesn't matter, because Derek thinks it's her. So, either we can convince him that he's wrong, or we've got to figure out a way to protect her."
At her words, Scott frowns and thinks back to the conversation he overheard Buffy and Lydia having in class, about a certain problem beginning with the word 'V'. Turning to his god-sister he clenches his jaw "How much does she know Buffy?"
At his words Allison and Stiles both frown and turn to the blonde who gulps slightly, she was dreading this, shrugging she plants a small confused smile on her face "About shoes? A lot I mean her dog is literally named after Prada shoes so..."
Scott clenches his jaw and gives her a pointed look "Buffy..." He warns making her groan "Don't give the about-face."
When he continues to watch her unamused she sighs "Ugh fine...she knows about...me... and vampires."
Stiles' eyes widen in shock, she had to be joking right, she couldn't have been stupid enough to tell Lydia about this "Buffy!"
"Hey!" She yells back standing up straight "In my defense, I had just been told I was going to you know die! And it's not like I told her about you!" She says pointing at Scott before sighing "As far as she is aware she thinks this is a vampire problem. Considering the girl made me hammer a cross into her car, she believes it. It will make her easier to protect cause we know she'll argue if we try and take her anywhere."
Scott sighs as much as he wasn't pleased that Buffy had told Lydia and then chosen not to tell them, she was right, right now this was a benefit for them, Lydia knew something was wrong so if Buffy told her to go somewhere where they could keep her safe she would do it.
"What if we can prove that Derek's wrong?" Allison questions.
"By three o'clock?" Stiles points out, Derek may not try anything now but the minute school was out they were screwed.
At that Buffy frowns as an idea she very much liked came to her "What if I can get you more time?" When all three of them frown she sighs "Okay I have like 15% of a plan."
"15%?" Stiles exclaims making the blonde roll her eyes "Yes. It's a good plan. Look I can distract Isaac and Erica long enough for you guys to get Lydia out of here straight after school."
Scott nods at that it was a good start "Maybe we could find something in the bestiary."
Stiles sighs, he just couldn't comprehend how he was the only one thinking with common sense here "Oh, you mean the 900-page book written in archaic Latin that none of us can read? Good luck with that."
Allison sighs however as she tries to think of something else a small thought occurs to her, she may just have the answer to their prayers right now "Actually, I think I know someone who might be able to translate it."
Buffy grins "Ha...now the plan is at 30%" She huffs sticking her tongue out at Stiles who rolls his eyes, however, that other percentage of their plan now relied on how to keep Derek away from Lydia.
Scott looks up at Buffy and she nods at him "He's not gonna listen to me..." She tells him knowing that he was hoping that she was their best chance at dealing with Derek, but it was very clear to the blonde that no matter what she did she couldn't stop him "...no matter what I say...it won't be enough. Not this time, he knows how close Lydia and I are. He won't believe it."
Scott nods before inhaling deeply as he realizes that unfortunately he was stuck with the talking to Derek portion of this plan "Uh, I can talk to Derek. Maybe convince him to give us a chance to prove that it's not her..." Pausing he turns back to the blonde it was time for an answer "But before I do...I need to know...are you gonna have my back? Are you gonna be able to fight Derek if it comes to it?"
Buffy sighs and she closes her eyes for a moment as she tries to force thoughts out of her brain of Derek, this was never supposed to happen but alas her life freaking sucked, the Powers That Be just loved to screw up her life, she swore she was like their own personal freaking yoyo. Clenching her eyes together tightly she tucks down all of her feelings to a deep dark part of herself before finally she opens her eyes and nods "Let's just get this over with." She breaths only to frown as suddenly Allison was holding a crossbow "Did they just have a big couply moment?" She asks Stiles.
The human nods "Yeah. You took 10 minutes to answer. It was kinda gross."
"Oh. Kay." She breaths before moving to walk with Scott only to gasp as Scott spins around catching an arrow, Buffy's eyes widen and she spins around quickly spotting Stiles now holding the crossbow "Stiles!"
Stiles' eyes widen in panic and he carefully hands the crossbow back to Allison "Uh...sorry, sorry, sensitive trigger."
Buffy and Scott glance at each other before Buffy shakes her head in disappointment "That's what you said when you killed my cat."
"Again with the cat!" He yells as he follows them out of the storage room "It wasn't my fault how was I supposed to know a Bebe gun would kill it!"
"You shot her in the eye! Four times!"
Stiles winces at that before groaning "I'm never living this down."
Once they had all split up to get the plan going, Allison to get the book translated, Stiles to collect Lydia and Buffy to deal with Isaac and Erica, Scott heads out onto the Lacrosse field and straight over to Boyd who was standing alone in the middle of the field.
"I want to talk to Derek."
"Talk to me." Boyd says simply as he begins walking towards the other werewolf, Scott sighs and just prayed Buffy could get whatever distraction she had planned started sooner rather than later "I don't want to fight."
As they come to finally face each other Boyd smiles smugly "Good, 'cause I'm twice the size of you."
Scott pauses but honestly, he couldn't even find a comeback for that "True. Really, really true." He breaths as he realizes just how tall Boyd was, he was literally having to arch his neck to look at the other wolf "But you want to know what I think? I'm twice as fast." And with that he dives at Boyd's legs taking the bigger wolf down easily, standing quickly Scott jumps as suddenly Derek appears at his side "She failed the test."
"Yeah, which doesn't prove anything." Scott tells him "Lydia's different."
"I know." Derek tells him simply "At night she turns into a homicidal walking snake."
"I'm not going to let you kill her."
Derek smirks slightly "Who said I was gonna do it?"
Scott however shocks the smug Boyd and Derek when he chuckles in amusement "I wouldn't bank on those two. Pretty sure they've got an issue of their own to deal with right now."
Derek and Boyd both frown in confusion, what the hell was he talking about?
"You gonna tell us this distraction plan of yours yet?" Stiles asks as he, Buffy, Allison, and Lydia, as well as Jackson for some reason who had followed them quickly walk through the empty hall towards the back exit, spotting the chain on the back, Buffy glances down the hall before grabbing the chain she rips it off before pulling the chain and wrapping it around her fist. Glancing at her new weapon she smirks "This will do."
Lydia who was slightly panicky right now turns to Buffy "Okay Buffy love you but what the hell is going on?!"
Buffy groans she could hear Erica and Isaac coming down the corner, they were running out of time "Okay look Lydia, a bad guy wants to hurt me... what's the best way to do that?" She asks, yes she was embellishing a little but if she started talking about Werewolves right now Lydia was going to lose it at her.
Lydia's eyes' widen before she nods realizing someone was coming after her to piss off Buffy, not good, turning to Stiles she begins shoving him out the door "Let's go." She tells him before glancing at Buffy "Good luck."
Buffy smiles "I'll see you soon." Before watching the three-run out to Stiles' jeep. Once they were inside the blonde shuts the door again before smirking as she spots Isaac about to turn to the corner.
As the werewolf turns the corner his eyes widen as Buffy suddenly appears in front of him with a smirk on her face "Hi honey I'm home." She snarks before punching him with her chain wrapped fist sending him flying down the hall before she grabs a growling Erica by the hair, Erica growls before grabbing Buffy's hair and tackling her to the ground.
Buffy groans as the werewolf climbs on top of her "Ugh please don't make me do the girl fight thing."
"What?" Erica hisses.
Buffy rolls her eyes, jeez, she used to think she herself came across like a dumb blonde but Erica made her look like a freaking genius 'Fine then." She hisses before digging her nails into Erica's wrist making the other girl cry out and let go of Buffy's hair. The blonde smirks before grabbing the werewolf and throwing her over her shoulder.
"You shouldn't have threatened Lydia." Scott explains to the confused Derek "You threatened the girl that Buffy has known since she was three...and given her anger at you right now...she's taking it out on your Beta's."
Derek's eyes widen in panic and he turns his head and looks inside the school and sure enough, there was Buffy slamming Erica's head rapidly against a locker before she slammed Isaac to the floor and then jumped onto his knee, the crack of his bone so loud he could hear it from here.
Smirking Scott gets back to his point, he had to prove that it wasn't Lydia, and he had an idea "I have a theory. Lydia's immune and somehow she passed it on to Jackson. You know I'm right."
"No!"
"You can't do this!"
Derek clenches his jaw, it may seem like he was enjoying this but he didn't want to kill a 16-year-old girl, especially not someone so close to Buffy, but he had no more options here "Look, I can't let her live! You should have known that...and so should've Buffy."
Scott scoffs as he watches the elder werewolf in absolute disgust and disbelief "She believed the best in you. She didn't want to believe me. But you see I was hoping I would convince you, but then...I wasn't counting on it."
At that Derek's eyes widen in panic, Scott talking to him, Buffy attacking Isaac and Erica, they were getting Lydia out.
