Chapter 9

Allison woke that morning and walking out of her room to take a shower she saw the guest room door open. Inside she saw her amazing aunt Kate, screaming with joy she ran into the room with Kate seeing her she also screamed with joy as they embraced.

"I don't see you for a year and you turn into a freaking runway model. Look at you, I hate you" Kate said releasing her niece from their embrace.

"I haven't even showered yet." Allison said sitting on the bed smiling at her aunt's compliments.

"Sweetie you are a knockout, in fact I hope you have those boys knocking each other teeth out for your attention." Kate said complimenting her some more, she loved her niece.

"I kind of have one." Allison said blushing as she thought of Scott and though she said she wanted space Scott was still texting and calling her.

"You should kind of have a million." Kate said and both of them laughed.

"Do you need some help unpacking?" Allison asked grabbing for a bag.

"No not that one." Kate said seriously grabbing the girl arm.

There was an awkward pause as she said that and releasing her grip, she pulled her hand away as did Allison. This caused a tension in the room, but Allison tried to ignore it.

"See, you turn out beautiful, and I end up with a kung fu death grip. Sorry sweetie I didn't mean to be so rough" Kate told her as she smiled at her.

"No worries. Hey, is everything okay with your car" Allison asked and went from eyeing the bag to putting her attention back on her aunt.

"Uh, yeah. I just needed a jump start, that all." Kate said not remembering what Chris had told her in the car about their cover story.

"A jump start?" Allison questioned but got no answer.

Scott sat in class as the teacher handed back tests, he was worried not just about the test that he hadn't been able to study for due to werewolf stuff but about Allison and his old pack. Stiles was sitting behind him and tapping him on the shoulder now went to talk.

"If Derek got shot and that other alpha was there, who is the other alpha?" he questioned

"I don't know." Scott replied.

"Did the alpha kill the bust driver?" Stiles asked quietly.

"I don't know, I think so." Scott said dejectedly.

"Does Allison's dad know about the al…" Stiles was about to finish his question but was interrupted.

"I DON'T FREAKING KNOW!" Scott said irritated and turning around causing the class to all look at him.

The teacher finally managed to get to them passing out the tests and giving Stiles his it was an A and then giving Scott his test, it was a D-. Stiles looked over his shoulder seeing the grade and sighed.

"Dude, you need to study more. That was a joke Scott, its one test you can make it up. Do you want help studying?" Stiles asked him.

"No, I'm all set." Scott said sighing and as he did his phone went off checking it, it was from Allison

Allison - Hey, it was a lot to handle this weekend. Could you come over today we can talk and study.

Scott- Yeah sure that sounds great.

Allison – Excellent I'll see you then :)

"I'm gonna be studying with Allison today buddy." Scott said, this sort of raised his spirits a bit.

"That's my boy." Stiles said grinning

"We are just studying and talking about this past weekend." Scott told him.

"No, you're not." Stiles told him raising his voice an octave or two

"I'm not?" Scott questioned him leaning back in his chair starring at the ceiling.

"Not if I'm forced to vicariously live through you. If you go to her house today and squander that colossal opportunity, I swear to god I'll have you de-balled." Stiles said no propping himself forward trying to emphasize he should be doing more than just studying and talking.

"Okay I get it. Just for now stop with the questions." Scott told him turning around in his desk to see him.

"Done, no more questions. No more talk about the alpha, or the pack, or Derek. Especially Derek who still slightly scare me." Stiles said.
-

Derek slowly walked through the school lightly limping from the poison in his veins, people bumped into him, but nobody seemed to care or mind him. Derek looked down at his feet trying his best not to keel over and looking up saw a boy at his locker, from the description and scent it sounded like a boy Scott and Malia talked about Jackson.

Jackson was minding his own business just getting some stuff from his locker when as he was about to close it some weird guy who looked half dead walked up to him aggressively.

"Where is Scott McCall." The man had asked him aggressively.

"Why should I tell you." Jackson said defensively.

"Because I asked you politely and I only do that once." Derek said staring him down trying his best to keep control.

"Hmm… Okay tough guy, how about I help you find him. If you sell me what your selling to him. What is it Dianabol, HGH?" the teen said boldly then questioned him.

"Steroids?" Derek said back to him curiously.

"No, girl scout cookies. What the hell do you think I'm talking about. Also, whatever you're selling id probably stop sampling the merchandise, you look wrecked" Jackson said belligerently take a step forward toward Derek.

Derek looked down at himself and then back up, he could feel his arm bleeding and dripping down his arm it hit the floor. Derek squeezed his hand into a fist, he had enough of this, but he had to keep control.

"I'll find him myself." Derek said walked away.

"No where not done here." Jackson said defiantly.

Derek tried to walk away and passing by him his back turned to Jackson, Jackson went to grab his should and as he did Derek turned around. Catching his arm, he slammed him against the locker face first. His claws slammed into his neck right at the base of his hairline as he had him slammed against the locker. Derek stopped himself starring at his claws and tried to retract them back in, it didn't work, and he quickly retreated and left the situation.

Jackson stood there for a moment and turning saw Derek was gone holding the back of his neck he winced in pain.

Derek ran out of the situation and now rested against a wall, his hearing was going nuts at first it picked up a teacher writing on a chalk board, but it did finally catch a conversation between two girls, Lydia, and Allison.

"Scott's coming over tonight?" Lydia asked her.

"Yeah we are just studying." Allison responded as they started going up the stairs.

"Just studying together never end with just studying. Its like getting into a hot tub, somebody eventually copes a feel." Lydia said bluntly.

"So, what are you saying?" Allison asked, she only ever had one other boyfriend in middle school but never a serious one she really had feeling for like Scott.

"I'm just saying make sure he cover up. You know wrap it before he taps it, I'm talking about a condom." Lydia said laughing some.

"Are you kidding me, after one date and the whole Malia thing." Allison said no persuaded just yet.

"Even more of a reason. Give him a little taste." Lydia said lightly nudging her arm.

"How much of a little taste?" Allison asked blushing.

"Oh god, you really do like him, don't you?" Lydia asked

"Yeah, well he is different. When I first moved here, I had a plan, no boyfriend till college I just move too much, Then I met Scott and it was like fireworks right away. I don't know it hard to explain" Allison said as the got to the top of the steps she was awkwardly playing with her hand gushing about him.

"I can, its your brain flooding with phenylamine." Lydia said letting her IQ slip out.

"What?" Allis said curiously laughing a little, she had never seen this side of Lydia.

"I'll tell you what to do, when he comes over?" Lydia asked her.

"Right after school." Allison said

Derek at this point stopped listening in the school bell rang and it cause him to hold his head in pain. He had to find Scott and quickly the bleeding was getting worse as was the pain and his control. As the last bell gave way, he made his way towards the outside trying to find something or someone who could get him to Scott.
-

Stiles and Isaac walked out of the school headed for Stiles' car as they were going to get some food and then Stiles was going to bring him home. Isaac smelled the blood before they even got to the car and entering the passenger seat saw Derek in the back as Stiles entered the car.

"I need your help, take me to Scott." Derek said having a hard time breathing.

"Why should we do that?" Isaac asked him, Derek had sided with Peter which in their terms meant they were in separate packs.

"Because he is the only one who will help me." Derek said dryly.

Stiles called over Scott who he saw at the bike racks as he knew he was going over Allison's. Scott came over really quickly and saw the injured Derek in the back of the car and Isaac looked at him seriously.

"What do you want us to do?" Isaac asked.

"We have to help him, what happened to you Derek?" Scott asked him.

"I was shot." Derek said

"Why aren't you healing?" Scott asked him.

"I can't I think it was laced with poison which for us is wolf's bane we need the type that was in the bullet." Derek told the teen.

"That's what the woman meant by 48 hours." Scott said.

"What woman?" Derek asked.

"The one who shot you, she was with Mr. Argent." Scott voiced to him.

"You need to find the bullet she shot it would have the residue and be able to help us." Derek said wincing in pain.

"How am I supposed to do that?" Scott asked seriously.

"You are going over there today; she is an Argent." Derek managed to get out.

"fine, ill find it while I'm over there. Get him to the vet clinic, Deaton is out of town and I'll meet you there later" Scott told him and his friends.

After that Scott quickly grabbed his bike and started to make his way towards Allison's. Allison saw him over at Stiles' car and was wondering what was going on, she would have to ask him later as he had already gotten on his bike and rode off. She then got in her car to get home as well and as she did, she saw Jackson starring at where Scott was and where he was at now before getting into his own car.
-

Scott came into her driveway right as Allison was all pulling in and stopping right in front of her car he smiled at her and she smiled back getting out of her car.

"You got here the same time I did. How did you do that?" Allison asked already knowing but wanting to hear him say it.

"The werewolf thing comes with some benefits." Scott sad with a small grin.

"That's some amazing benefits I wonder what else it help with." Allison said laughing as she they walked to her front door.

Allison opened the door and smiled at him as she entered the house, Scott was hesitant as he got to the doorway. Looking around she could tell he was on edge.

"Don't worry, no one is going to be home for hours." Allison reassured him.

"okay." Scott said entering and stepping in she closed the door behind him.
-

Cora had started going to school and though she had hoped to be shown around by her favorite pair it seems she couldn't get what she wanted as Scott had left their pack and hadn't talked to her or Malia. He must have still been mad none of them sides with him and as much as they did the alpha held the power though 'seeing Scott stand directly up to Peter was so hot' she thought.

"Malia do you smell that." She said exiting the school with Malia next to her.

"Yeah I do it smells like blood but…. Derek." Malia said her eyes widening.

Both girls looked around trying to figure out where the smell was coming from, they had stayed later than most, but they could tell Derek was still somewhere close. Following their nose, they ended up finding Stiles car parked at the vet clinic. The sign said closed but they could hear the boys talking.

"Look we have to give Scot time; we have till when midnight or something." Stiles said looking the injured shirtless Derek.

"I know we do but if things get bad, we need a plan B." Derek said looking at the veins in his body he took his belt off and tied it around his arm.

"I think we have company guys." Isaac said smelling the girls in the front he walked to the door.

"Let us in Isaac, he is my brother." Cora said almost throwing him down to the ground as she went through the door, Malia right behind her.

What the girls saw was something most would never want to see; Derek was on the metal examination table his shirt off they could see the dark veins running up his arm and going towards his shoulder. He was breathing heavy and in a lot of pain. He had been shot in the arm and that seemed to be where the poison was coming from.

"Wolf's bane, I got shot last night going after the demon wolf." Derek told them.

"What can we do?" Malia said questioning him.

"We have to wait for Scott, he is at the Argent house looking for the wolfsbane casing." Derek said seriously.
-

The teens now made it up to Allison room and entering Scott saw her walls were barren and boxes all around. He looked at her and then around the room, she hadn't unpacked at all.

"I'm still unpacking." Allison told him

"Haven't you been here like a month?" Scott questioned her.

"I'm taking my time; I'm not used to staying in one place for so long so… it different but nice." Allison said turning to him with a smile.

Scott walked a little ahead of her now putting his books down on her bed while Allison stood near her desk putting her books down as well. Both took their jackets off and now Scott looked over to her.

"So, I figured we could start with history." He said and she advanced towards him quickly grabbing his arm then wrapping her other arm around his neck.

Scott was surprised when she advanced on him like thar especially when she put her lips on his and they started kissing. His arms wrapped around her waist as they kissed falling onto the bed, they deepened their kiss his hand roaming her body as he lightly squeezed her ass. She squeaked a bit but smiled looking into his eyes before they returned to making out. This lasted a little while until Scott realized he had to tell her what was going on Derek's life depended on it. He stopped as left his hands on her waist.

"What's wrong." Allison asked him.

"I just don't want to force you to do anything you don't want to do." Scott said looking for a right time to change the mood.

"You aren't forcing me to do anything I don't want to do. Are you?" she asked him

"Are you seriously asking me that question." Scott said hand grabbing her butt she smiled kissing him lightly.

"What's really going on?" Allison asked seeing the look in his eye from when thy were at his house.

"Well do you remember me telling you there was more I had to tell you." Scott said with a nervous laugh.

"Does it have to be now." Allison said running her hands through his hair.

"Sadly, life or death." Scott told her seriously.

Allison's heard Scotts phone but it stopped as they both got up and he went to answer it, as he did, he saw an open box with a picture of her dad and the woman he saw the night before.

"Who is this?" Scott asked.

"Oh, that's my aunt Kate, she came back last night." Allison told him smiling.

Scott saw the look in her eyes when she was talking about her aunt like she worshipped her or something he couldn't destroy that for her, this wasn't the right time. He would have to find another way to get the bullet casing.

"So, what did you want to tell me?" Allison said.

"I think you're right maybe right now isn't the right time." Scott said dejectedly then he saw some photographs in the same box.

"Did you take these?" Scott asked her.

"Yeah I did before I realized I was crap at it. I also tried dancing, poetry, and so much more" Allison said smiling taking them out of his hands.

"What are you good at?" Scott asked her smiling.

"I will show you if you promise not to laugh." Allison said seriously.

The teens no headed back downstairs and went toward the garage, opening the door Allison entered first with Scott close behind.

"I was nationally ranked as a kid and my dad really wanted me to go on, but I don't know. Promise you won't laugh." Allison said rambling on.

"I promise." Scott said looking around the garage to all the boxes before he turned to Allison with a bow pointed at him without the arrow.

"Jesus scared the crap out of me a compound bow." Scott said not realizing there wasn't an arrow in her hand right away.

"You are correct and I'm pretty sure it requires an arrow to be dangerous, she said laughing putting her arm down and releasing the string forward.

"So that's what your good at archery." Scott said thinking back to how her dad shot Cora.

"You said you wouldn't laugh." She said reminding him.

"Trust me I'm not laughing." Scott responded with a sigh turning towards the other side of the garage he saw what looked to be an armory.

Scott looked and saw a gated metal rack with a lock, behind the gate were a few rifles and some other varied type of weapons with boxes of ammo as well. He stared at it a moment like he had was freaked out walking towards it.

"I guess I should explain, we are not some sort of separatist gun nut family. My dad sells firearms to the law enforcement." She explained to him hoping he wasn't thinking anything to weird about her or her family.

"Oh, that's good. So, are you planning on joining the family business?" Scott probed her.

"I don't know, you tell me. Would I look hot with a gun?" Allison joked grabbing his hands pulling her towards him.

"Hotter without." Scott said his hands releasing her wrapping around her waist and hers going around his next as she was up against the metal rack.

Scott and Allison started kissing again until they heard the door open from inside the house to the garage. Both ducked behind the red SUV in the garage as someone came towards them.

Mr. Argent had come into the garage holding and empty box to add to the pile. Then they heard a female voice.

"Hey Chris, get your ass out of the 50's and come help with the groceries." The woman said.

"Be right there." He said putting the empty box on the pile in front of the car.

Chris waited a few second taking a short rest with his hand on the hood of the car and then he saw them Scott and Allison knelt down looking suspicious. They both looked up at him and he looked at them.

"Do you two minds helping.?" he questioned them though it sounded more like an order.
