Previously:
I watched with wide eyes as blood started rushing out of his mouth and I felt tears enter my eyes. The Alpha had his claws plunged into Derek's back and I scrambled backwards away from him. Scott grabbed my arm and pulled with him and Stiles up the small hill towards the front door to the school. I felt the tears running down my cheeks as Stiles pushed me into the school and he and Scott clambered in after me. The three of us all looked at each other before rushing to the door and peeking out the window to see if we could see anything outside.
Night School Part One:
"Lock it, lock it!" my twin brother exclaimed in a hush whisper as the three of us all pushed against the main door of the school to keep it closed.
"Do I look like I have a key?" Stiles snapped at his best friend in irritation as I tried to ignore the two of them long enough to think of a way to keep the door shut against the Alpha.
"Grab something!" I ordered them loudly as I continued to push on the door from the opposite side of Scott.
"What?" they both asked me in unison and I shook my head at them in agitation. As if we didn't have enough to deal with, I didn't need the two of them being idiots the entire time I was trying to survive a vicious attack by an Alpha werewolf.
"Anything!" I retorted back at them as we finally got the heavy door closed all the way and took a step back from it. I sighed in relief because my arms were starting to hurt from the pressure of holding the door closed for an extended length of time. I closed my eyes tightly as I put my head in my hands and took a couple of deep breaths to try to calm my heart rate down.
"No." I heard Scott say so I opened up my eyes in time to see Stiles looking out the tiny glass window at something outside the door.
"Yes." Stiles replied as he opened the door again and I watched with eyes wide with shock. I rushed to the window as he stepped outside and saw as he crept forward slowly to grab the fallen pliers that he had dropped earlier. I fumbled for Scott hand without looking away from the scene outside the door and finally found his larger hand before grasping it tightly. I looked over to where Stiles light blue jeep was parked at the front of the school and felt my eyes widen when I spied the Alpha creeping out from behind it.
"Scott…" I whispered warningly and he turned to look at me in concern but I just silently pointed out the window at the huge black werewolf with red glowing eyes. Scott's deep brown eyes widened as well as he started banging on the door from to get Stiles' attention. I started banging on the door as well when Stiles looked up from the ground towards the two of us and when we pointed behind him he turned to look directly at the massive creature galloping towards him. He grabbed the pliers in one hand and scrambled up towards the door and Scott opened it so that he could run through. Scott slammed the door behind him and Stiles jammed the door with the pliers but I knew that it wouldn't be enough to hold the Alpha. We were all breathing heavily as we stood up to look out the tiny windows for any indication of where the Alpha went.
"Where is it? Where did it go?" Scott wondered out loud as I looked around the deserted parking lot out the window. When we couldn't see anything outside, I took a few steps back away from the door and the boys followed me. "That won't hold, will it?"
"Probably not." I said softly as I looked at the door in front of us before turning to meet my twin brother's worried gaze. I frowned slightly before turning around the looking at the vacant hallway of the school. Stiles turned on the flashlight that he still held in his hand and it illuminated the plain hallway so that we could see where we were going. The night we silent except for our panicked heavy breathing until a howl ripped through the air and my eyes widened at the sound. Scott grabbed my hand in his as he pulled me with him down the hallway at a run with Stiles following behind us. We turned into a classroom after a minute of running and Scott let go of my hand and I walked straight over to the window to see if I could see anything.
"The desk." Stiles said as both the boys ran over to the teacher's desk and started pushing it towards the door in order to block it.
"Stop, stop. The door's not gonna keep it out." I stated as I walked over to the two of them and placed my hands on my hips.
"I know." Scott said as he sighed in defeat and leaned heavily on the desk in front of him.
"It's your boss." Stiles said to Scott and I suddenly and I turned to give him an incredulously look.
"What?" I asked him as I shook my head at him although I was used to his crazy theories and attitude after years of exposure.
"Deaton, the alpha? Your boss."
"No." I denied simply as I shrugged my shoulders and crossed my arms over my chest in defiance. I knew that Deaton couldn't be the Alpha because he was an Emissary not a werewolf but I couldn't divulge the veterinarian's secrets.
"Yes, murdering psycho werewolf."
"That can't be." Scott agreed with me about Deaton but I think that had something more to do with him being in denial about the whole situation.
"Oh come on. He disappears, and that thing shows up ten seconds later to toss Derek 20 feet through the air? That's not convenient timing?"
"It's not him." I repeated myself in annoyance but Stiles just rolled his head once before looking Scott straight in the eye knowing that he would be the twin to break first.
"He killed Derek."
"No, Derek's not dead. He can't be dead." Scott said in a rush as I felt a wave of hurt over the death of the older werewolf. I couldn't help but feel guilty that I hadn't done anything to prevent his death and I hated the feel that I had somehow let Cora and Peter down by allowing his death.
"Blood spurted out of his mouth, okay? That doesn't exactly qualify as a minor injury. He's dead, and we're next."
"Okay, just - What do we do?" I asked the two of them to prevent anymore fighting because we had more important things to deal with right now anyway. Stiles grimaced as he thought for a second before giving us a hard nod of his head in determination.
"We get to my jeep, we get out of here, you two seriously think about quitting your job, good?" he asked us before we all ran to the windows at the side of the room.
"No, they don't open. The school's climate - controlled." I reminded them as Scott tried to open the window.
"Then we break it." My brother suggested to us but Stiles shook his head at the request.
"Which will make a lot of noise." Stiles told him as I looked out the window for any signs of movement.
"Then, uh, then we run really fast. Really fast. Stiles, what's wrong with the hood of your jeep?" Scott asked as he looked out the window in the direction of the jeep and Stiles and I were quick to follow his gaze but couldn't see anything in the darkness.
"What do you mean? Nothing's wrong."
"It's bent."
"What, like, dented?"
"No, I mean bent."
"What the hell – "Stiles started to ask but he was cut off by the window next to us smashing into a million tiny slivers of glass. I screamed loudly as I fell to the ground next to Scott and Stiles but then pressed my lips together to stop the whimpering that threatened to escape. I looked up at the window sill quickly and then looked over at what had been thrown through the glass to make it implode like that. "That's my battery." Stiles said in a soft voice and pointed as we all looked at the black box of messy wiring sitting in the middle of the room.
"We have to move." I told Scott and Stiles as I looked at the two of them once and then back at the battery.
"He could be right outside." Scott protested my idea but I turned my face to give him a sharp look.
"He is right outside." I hissed back at him harshly and he had the decency to flinch under my heated glare.
"Just let me take a look." He whispered back at me and I rolled my eyes at him but waved a hand dismissively which he took as an 'okay'. He leaned up on his knees to peek outside the window while Stiles and I stayed below the window sill out of the way.
"Nothing?" Stiles asked him apprehensively when Scott didn't make an obvious sound of seeing anything outside.
"No."
"Move now?"
"Move now." Scott agreed as he took my hand in his and pulled me to my feet before yanking me out the classroom door and into the hallway again. Scott turned on his heel and started walking aimlessly. "This way."
"No, no, no, no." Stiles murmured as he pulled on Scott's jacket to stop him walking any further and I looked between the two of them awaiting instructions.
"What?"
"Somewhere without windows."
"Every single room in this building has windows." I told the two of them from my spot in the middle of the triangle we had formed with our bodies.
"Or somewhere with less windows." Stiles corrected himself quickly when he realised that I was right and Scott and I both thought about where in the school we could go to get away from the Alpha.
"The locker room." I realised as my head snapped up to look at Stiles for agreement and he jerkily nodded at me.
"Yeah." He agreed with me before Scott took my hand again to drag me with him as he ran towards the locker room with Stiles right behind us. We entered the boy's locker room and Scott shut the door behind us quietly so we didn't draw attention to ourselves.
"Okay. Call your dad." Scott ordered Stiles as we looked around the empty locker room and Stiles froze where he was to stare at his best friend.
"And tell him what?" Stiles asked incredulously as I sat down on one of the benches and thanked god that I hadn't worn high heels that day.
"I don't know, anything. Gas leak, a fire, whatever. If that thing sees the parking lot filled with cop cars, it'll take off."
"What if it doesn't? What if it goes completely Terminator and kills every cop in sight, including my dad?"
"They have guns."
"Yeah, and Derek had to be shot with a wolfsbane - laced bullet to even slow him down, you remember that?" Stiles reminded my brother quickly and Scott pursed his lips together in defeat as he thought about another solution to our problem.
"Then we - we have to - We have to find a way out and just run for it."
"There's nothing near the school for at least a mile." I said loud enough for them both to hear me as I shrugged out of my cardigan.
"What about Derek's car?" Scott suggested to us and my head shot up to stare at the two of them at the mention of the sleek black Camaro.
"Dibs." I said as I raised my hand in the air from seat and the two boys stared at me. I shrugged my shoulders once because they were probably right that I was being too morbid but stressful situations made me tense and more sarcastic than usual. Although, I did really love that car so if the time came to drive it I was going to offer. The boys turned back to look at each other as they formulated a workable plan to get us out of there alive.
"That could work. We go outside, we get the keys off his body, and then we take his car." Stiles agreed with Scott after thinking about it for a second.
"And him." I added sternly to his list of activities because I couldn't just leave Derek's body out there alone.
"Fine. Whatever." Stiles agreed with me carelessly as I stood up to follow him and Scott out of the locker room again. Stiles led the way to the door with the flashlight but as he went to turn the door handle Scott reached out to grab his wrist. "What?"
"I think I heard something." Scott answered him quietly while looking blankly at the door and I could tell that he was using his superior werewolf hearing to listen.
"Like what?"
"Quiet." Scott ordered him as I looked up at the ceiling for any sign of noise but I couldn't hear anything with my human hearing. I looked back at the door just in time to see a shadow move just outside the glass of the door.
"Hide." I said almost silently as I walked backwards away from the door and towards the rows of lockers. Stiles and Scott followed me without a word and I climbed into the first open locker I could see knowing that the boys were doing the same thing. I closed the door of the locker behind me and closed my eyes tightly as I tried to control my breathing. Rationally, I knew that a werewolf would be able to hear my heartbeat and my breathing without any trouble at all and that the flimsy metal door of the locker wouldn't do anything to help prevent the Alpha from getting me but stressful situations made you act idiotic. I heard the door to the locker room open and then close as I subconsciously held my breath.
"Son of a bitch!" I heard a man yell in fright and my eyes flew open in surprise as I opened the door of the locker I was in to see Scott and Stiles with a middle-aged janitor.
"Quiet!" Stiles tried to hush the janitor as he pressed a finger to his mouth and I glanced around the locker room quickly.
"Quiet my ass, what the hell are you trying to do, kill me? All of you get out."
"Will you just listen for half a second, okay?"
"Not okay. Get the hell out of here right Now."
"God, just one second to explain."
"Just shut up and go." The janitor spat at the three of us as he grabbed the backs of Stiles' and Scott's jackets and pulled them out of the locker room while I quickly followed them. Once we were out in the hallway, Stiles turned back to argue with the man again but the janitor was suddenly pulled back into the locker room. The door automatically closed behind him as the three of us stood there frozen. Growling came from behind the closed locker room door and I knew that the Alpha had the janitor in there. I gasped loudly as the janitors shadow was pressed up against the door and I could hear his screams as his fingers left blood trailing down the glass.
"Oh, my God." I swore to myself as the growling and screaming meshed together and Scott tried to break into the locker room to help the janitor. Stiles grabbed hold of the back of Scott's jacket and pulled him away from the door before grabbing my hand in his and pulling us both down the hallway away from the locker room and the Alpha.
The boys and I ran down the hallway towards the back exit as fast as we could and when we got there we immediately started pushing on the door to open it only it wasn't opening.
"What the hell?" Stiles swore under his breath when the double doors would only open a few inches. My brother poked his head through the open gap to see what was stopping the door from opening all the way.
"It's a dumpster." Scott stated as he pulled his head back into the school and I sighed in defeat as I ran a hand through my messy hair and stepped back a few paces.
"He pushed it in front of the door to block us in. Come on, help me." Stiles ordered Scott as he continued to push hard on the doors to try and open them while I looked on silently.
"Stop!" Scott said as he pulled his best friend away from the doors and we all started to walk down the hallway so that we could find another exit to get out of.
"I'm not dying here. I'm not dying at school." Stiles said to us rapidly and I nodded in agreement with our quirky friend.
"I want to die by doing something cool, like parachuting or bungee jumping." I added to the conversation and Stiles looked at me with his eyebrows raised in question so I shrugged. "I suppose 'murdered by an Alpha werewolf' is good to. It definitely beats 'car accident' or 'stabbed to death with a butter knife'."
"We're not going to die." Scott told us in frustration as he ran a hand through his thick brown hair.
"God, what is he doing? What does he want?" Stiles asked in exasperation as we continued down the hallway.
"Me. Derek says it's stronger with a pack."
"Oh, great. A psychotic werewolf who's into teen work. That's - that's beautiful." Stiles said sarcastically as Scott came to a stop near a wall of windows. Scott held out an arm so that Stiles and I stopped as well and I looked down at his arm once before following his gaze out the window. On the roof top across from the building we were in, the Alpha was sitting near the chimney just watching us. My eyes widened at the sight of the werewolf and I gaped as it took off running towards us on the roof. I felt Scott grab my hand but all my attention was still on the massive creature galloping towards us at full speed. Scott started pulling me along behind him so I turned around and started running as I heard the glass windows behind me shatter. The ground was shaking as the Alpha chased behind us but I kept my gaze on the hallway in front of me so that I didn't freak out in the middle of running for my life. Scott pulled me into a stairwell and the three of us quickly ran down the stairs two at a time. We continued running at full speed all the way to the basement where we hid behind a row of old lockers. I knew that I had tears streaming down my cheeks but I ignored them as I tried to control my breathing again. I saw Scott peek around the edge of the lockers so I looked over at him for some kind of sign as to what to do next.
"What?" I mouthed to him silently when he looked at me and Stiles and he motioned for me to move down the row.
"Go." He mouthed back at me so I nodded and quietly moved down the row as Stiles and Scott followed behind me. We kept running through the basement until the boys slowed to a brisk walk and I bit my lip in concern as I kept pace with them.
"All right, we have to do something." Stiles announced suddenly to us and stopped in his tracks to look around the area we were in.
"Like what?" I asked him desperately as I stopped next to him to catch my breath after all the running.
"I don't know. Kill it, hurt it, inflict mental anguish on it. Something." He suggested quickly and I quirked a smile quickly before I jumped at the sudden sound of smashing glass and the smile fell back to a concerned frown. We all froze in fright at the sound and I looked around the corner silently for any signs of the Alpha.
"What are you doing?" I heard Scott ask Stiles so I jerked my head back around to see Stiles fiddling with something in his jacket pocket. He pulled out his car keys and the slight jingle sounded like church bells in the near perfect solitude of the basement. Stiles quickly threw the keys into an adjacent room near us and the sound of the keys landing on the ground alerted the Alpha to our presence because it came running towards the keys. As soon as the Alpha was in the room with the keys, Stiles slammed the door shut on it.
"The desk. Come on, the desk." He ordered us quickly and Scott and I ran to the desk behind us before we started pushing to towards the door to block it. Once the door was in place, I took a step back from the door but then jumped and yelped when a loud metallic screeching sounded from the door. The metal door jerked a little under the pressure of the Alpha throwing itself at it but didn't open so I allowed myself to smile slightly.
"He can't – "Scott uttered to himself as the door jerked again under the Alpha's weight and then chuckled lightly in relief.
"Come on, get across. Come on!" Stiles urged my brother who was still on the other side of the table and Scott slid across the top of it to come and stand next to me.
"What are you doing?" I asked Stiles in a hiss when I saw him leaning towards the door we had just locked the Alpha behind.
"I just wanna get a look at It." He told me with a shrug as he looked back at me and I shot him an incredulous look.
"Are you crazy? Don't answer that, I know you're crazy."
"Look, it's trapped, okay? It's not gonna get out." He assured me as he climbed on top of the table and peered into the tiny window in the door to get a better look at the Alpha. "Yeah, that's right, we got you – "
"Will you shut up!" Scott hissed at him as well but Stiles just looked back at us blankly before turning back to the door.
"I'm not scared of this thing." He taunted the Alpha until suddenly it lurched itself at the door and the movement caused Stiles to tumble off the table in fright. I couldn't help the knowing smirk that appeared on my lips at the sight of Stiles sprawled on the floor. He quickly stood back up from the ground and looked at the door again as he wiped his hands on his jacket. "I'm not scared of you. Right, 'cause you're in there, and we're out here. You're not going any –"he trailed off as we heard a loud crashing sound from inside the room we locked the Alpha in and then creaking coming from the ceiling. Stiles turned the flashlight to the ceiling and we all looked up to see the roof sinking under enormous pressure. My eyes widened as one of the tiles on the ceiling popped open and I grabbed Scott's hand as we took off running back the way we had coming. We turned a corner after running out of the basement and we slowed down to a fast paced walk when Scott suddenly froze where he was to look around the room with wide eyes.
"Wait. Do you hear that?" my brother asked Stiles and I as we stopped walking next to him and looked around as well.
"Hear what?" I asked him nervously as I bit my finger nail gingerly and looked around the deserted hallway.
"It sounds like a phone ringing."
"What?" Stiles and I asked at the same time as my head snapped around to stare at my twin.
"I know that ring. It's Allison's phone." Scott informed us as he looked at us with wide fearful eyes and I knew that my own mirrored his.
