Melissa And The
Ice Rink Battle
Part 4
Disclaimer: I own nothing but what you see here! I imagine some of you have been eagerly awaiting this one! Takes place a few days after the trip to the Argents.
Summary: Things get a little chaotic while Melissa has Derek and his Pack at her house.
The fact that Scott's own mother had reached out to all of them and asked them to come to her and Scott's house had greatly surprised them. Especially with how she practically made it feel like a request that was not to be ignored. Something that honestly annoyed the Hell out of Derek and reminded him a little of his own mother. Erica was just honestly nervous as she'd always liked Mrs. McCall and to be asked to come over just made her way too nervous. Isaac honestly didn't care one way or another and Vernon was also of the same opinion. Even if he was a little curious as to why Scott's mom wanted them there. But head over they did around 8:00 PM, mostly so that it wouldn't be easy for anyone to see Isaac out and about considering his fugitive status and all. And once they got there, the kids were witness to the sight of Mrs. McCall slapping the ever loving Hell out of Derek!
Something that made Scott himself rather worried over if the alarm on his face was any indication! Derek's glare did nothing to phase Mrs. McCall either. "That is for what you did to MY son at the Ice Rink."
Another slap came his way, making him huff in irritation. "And THAT is for LYING to MY son about a cure when you KNEW there was no cure to begin with just to get him to help you find your Uncle. Who… I apparently went on a date with. And believe you me when I say that that tends to keep me up at night."
"Anything else you wanna slap me for?" Asked Derek bitingly and then wincing at his own apparent stupidity.
Stupidity the others fully agreed with. "Yes, actually, I do." And she slapped him again. This time a damned sight harder then the first two times!
"Biting these kids with you!? What the HELL were you thinking!? Their just kids!" Yelled Melissa and then began to speak angrily in Spanish.
Causing Scott to look at his mother in shock as he seldomly ever heard her go off like that! Even Erica was a bit shocked too! "As an Alpha, I need a Pack. As a human, I wouldn't really expect you to understand that. From them, I gain strength just like they gain strength by being stronger together as a Pack. The Bite is a Gift that helped to give their lives new meaning that they could truly benefit from."
"Oh really? So Isaac here, who's a fugitive by the way, is benefitting from what you gave him? Cause I really don't see much in the way of benefits. And let's talk about Erica, hmm? A girl who is abusing what she's been given when she SHOULD be rising above that kind of pettiness instead of being just like her tormentors." Said the woman with a mild glare towards the girl who could only look down at her feet.
Feeling slightly ashamed of herself as well and making Vernon look at her in concern and even placing a hand on her shoulder. Something she appreciated quite a bit. "You… You don't understand..." Erica muttered sadly.
Melissa came over to her with a saddened expression on her face. "Sweetie, I may not know what its like to be treated horribly cause of Epilepsy, but I do know what its like to be treated horribly cause of the color of my skin. But I never let that act as a reason to be petty towards others. And if your Alpha over here actually gave a damn, he would be ensuring you were using your new found lease on life responsibly instead of allowing you to go and do as you please!"
She then turned her attention to Derek, who was not too pleased about being called out for his actions or lack thereof as an Alpha. "Tell me, young man, what would your mother think of all this? I bet she would NOT be happy about it."
"No… She wouldn't..." Admitted Derek with a pained grimace.
Nodding in satisfaction over that, she gave her attention to Vernon who actually nervously backed up some. "What about you, Boyd? Hmm? What's the Bite done for you exactly? Are you being just like my son? Cause I know you said you wanted to be like him."
"I… The Bite's allowed me to meet Isaac and Erica and that's enough for me cause I'm not really alone anymore. Yeah, its kinda scary cause we have those Hunters runnin' around, but I feel like I'm part of somethin' now. Part of somethin' that actually cares about me. And am I being like your son? No… Not yet. But hopefully, I'll get a chance soon." Replied the young man seriously.
His words had made his fellow two Betas look his way and give him soft smiles, both equally happy to have him as part of their Pack. As he was a kindred spirit, much like they were and it just felt really right having him with them. Melissa's heart broke for him as she could hear the pain in his voice and wondered if maybe his loneliness extended to his homelife as well. "Something tells me that when you finally do, you are gonna be amazing." She told him seriously.
"You think so?"
"I do, I really do."
Her response made him smile widely and even feel rather proud that an adult actually believed that much in him. "Great, I'm gonna have another Scott on my hands at this rate." Grumbled Derek.
"Like that's really a bad thing. At least he won't be hating himself." Remarked Scott a bit sourly.
"Point." Admitted the Alpha.
Isaac looked towards Scott with a curious expression. "You know, I really don't get why you hate what you are."
"Other then the fact that I was Bitten unwillingly and it's brought me almost nothing but pain and misery? I have nightmares from time to time about being set on fire thanks to Peter. I have to hide a relationship just so certain people don't try and hurt me cause they don't like what I am."
"Scott, I hate to tell you this, but that's got Romeo and Juliet written all over it and you know how that ended." Remarked Erica seriously.
Scott sighed over that as he knew the girl had a point. "So… What, I just break it off for good with Allison then? Even though I love her? And then get with you or something?"
"God no, no offense but I don't like you like that. Now Stiles on the other hand..."
"You like Stiles… Stiles Stilinski?" Asked a shocked Derek.
Erica nodded with a grin on her lips. "Yep."
"Oh God. That kid is one of the most annoying people I've ever met."
"I still need to have a talk with him about having a key to the house." Grumbled Melissa with a shake of the head.
Vernon gave her a look over that one. "That's pretty creepy that he has that."
Even Erica had to agree on that one as Isaac nodded in agreement. "I'd throw him against a wall if he tried that with me."
"You… Live in an abandoned train station… So… You don't even have a key for it." Remarked Isaac and making Derek glare at him.
"And where are you staying young man?"
"Umm… With him? Since, you know, I'm a fugitive on the run?"
Melissa looked at him then at Derek with an appalled look on her face before she started shaking her head. "Uh-uh, no. I don't think so. That is no place for a teenager or anyone else to be living in."
"Its only until I know the Argents aren't hunting us anymore."
"Yeah? Well, provided they actually listen to me and they'd better after that talk with them, both you and Isaac will be staying with Scott and I until further notice. Is that clear?" Even if she did have her issues with Derek, she wasn't about to leave him out in the cold.
The two tried to argue that but the nurse mother quickly put a stop to that much to the amusement of both Erica and Vernon. Though Scott wasn't necessarily all that happy about it. Mostly more to do with Derek then Isaac. "Mom! I really don't think that's a good idea! Plus, what about Isaac!?"
"So long as no one see's him here, it'll be fine. And I know you have your reasons regarding Derek and even I have my own issues, but I am not leaving him or Isaac out in the cold." She told her son firmly.
Scott sighed as he knew then and there that there was no arguing with his mother. Erica then decided to drop a little info on the guy. "While I'm not into you like that, I do know that Sydney Watson is."
Hell, that girl had Scott's name written in her notebooks with hearts surrounding his name! She grinned when she noticed the dumbfounded look on Scott's face. "Sydney Watson… The girl who's the most grades driven person in our school… Is interested… In me?"
"Mm-hmm."
"Huh..."
His mom couldn't help but grin over that one before getting back to business. "And there will be rules I will expect the two of you to abide by. Am I understood?"
"So long as you don't lock me up in a deep freezer for failing to do something properly, I understand perfectly."
A look of horror came across Melissa's face while everyone else gave him looks of sympathy. "Sweetheart, I would NEVER do something like that. EVER."
Isaac seemed to doubt that a little and it broke her heart for the poor boy. But before anymore could be done about it, a cannister broke through the front room window and landed on the floor and causing everyone to look at it before Vernon's eyes widened. "SMOKE GRENADE!" Thank God for the fact his dad loved war movies and stuff!
"GET DOWN!" Yelled Derek as he had a damned good idea of what was about to happen next.
And true to his line of thinking as the Smoke Grenade went off, bullets began to hit the house as they all got down on the floor. Scott covering his mother in an effort to protect her from all the bullets flying inside their house while she screamed in terror. Much like Erica and even Isaac was doing while Vernon was a little teary eyed himself as he whimpered from the pain he was feeling thanks to a bullet grazing his shoulder. "DEREK! COVER MY MOM!"
"WHY!?"
"CAUSE I'M GOIN' OUT THERE!"
"NO THE HELL YOU'RE NOT!"
"THEIR SHOOTING AT MY HOME SO YES THE HELL I AM!"
"SCOTT, NO!" Screamed out Melissa in terror.
As no way in Hell did she want him doing that and possibly dying damnit! "LISTEN TO YOUR MOTHER!"
A growl escaped the young man but he did end up listening in the end. As protecting her was more of a priority in the end anyway. The bullets soon stopped and the two looked at one another before nodding. "Stay here while we deal with them while their reloading, mom." Whispered Scott as he and Derek got up.
As it was time to kick the asses of these jerks! "Boyd, are you alright!?" Asked Derek in concern.
"N-No, got… Got grazed by a bullet."
Hearing that made Melissa's head shoot up and then immediately rush over to him to check it out. Wincing at the sight of it as well and then looked towards the other two frightened teenagers. Making a decision, she rushed off for the bathroom to grab the medical supplies for Vernon's shoulder as her son and Derek took off for the front yard to take care of their would be killers. Vernon whimpered some as she patched him up while telling Erica and Isaac to focus on her voice as a way to help calm them down while ignoring the yells from outside until the sounds of screeching tires could be heard. Which would bring in Scott and Derek seconds later with grim and angry expressions on their faces. Minutes later would see the Sheriff, his Deputies, and an ambulance arrive as those in the neighborhood watched on in shock and horror.
Melissa would even end up slapping the mess out of the Sheriff at one point when he chose to go ahead and haul in Isaac due to his fugitive status while promising to ensure he would be paying a visit to the Argents soon since both Scott and Derek were able to identify one of their attackers being a smiling Gerard Argent. Of course he told Melissa and the others that they were lucky he wasn't hauling them in either for questioning considering they were harboring a fugitive. Which earned him another angry slap from the angry as Hell woman. Derek could do nothing as one of his was taken away while Scott was on the phone with his dad. Who is apparently an FBI Agent! "You know we're gonna have to have a word with someone about this right?" Asked Erica as she shakenly leaned in to Derek.
"You mean Jackson?"
"Yeah. Cause he's the only one who can get Isaac's name cleared."
"Then lets make him talk." Growled out a shaken and angry Vernon.
That was a plan Derek was very much on board with! Melissa came up to the trio with watery eyes and an angry expression on her face. "How, how are you kids doing?"
"Terrified." Answered Vernon.
Erica could only nod in agreement with that before rushing into Melissa's arms and crying into her chest. Just as her parents, along with Vernon's showed up as Scott walked over to them while hanging up his cell. "Dad's on his way and said he'd call Stiles' dad along the way to make sure he would be involved when they went to see the Argents."
"Good." Replied Melissa and she hoped her ex would rain down Hell on them for what they've done!
Tearful hugging would happen with the arrived parents and it'd be a scene a frantic Allison would arrive too. "Oh God, Scott! You're alright!" Cried out the girl as she rushed over to him.
Though she was shocked and hurt when he glared at her and refused to even be hugged by her. "We're over, Allison. No relationship is worth my mom, my house, me, and innocent people getting shot at just cause we're different."
His declaration hurt her like crazy and she tried to protest it as he walked off, not even willing to hear her out. "Sweetheart… While I would never blame you for what happened here, I do think its best if you left for now." Informed Melissa with sympathy being shown on her face and heard in her voice.
Tearfully, Allison nodded and reluctantly left. Hoping her relationship with Scott could be salvaged after what her family had done tonight!
Author's Notes: Originally, I was gonna have just the chat for this chapter and then in another chapter do the attack. BUT, I decided to combine both things into this. You know, I could probably turn this into a full on story.
