Derek and I saw Stiles and Deaton taking another werewolf away from the scene,
"Guys" I asked but smelt the poison,
"We'll meet you at the clinic" I said as I darted back to my Imprint,
"We need to help them now" I said to my imprint,
"Where?' He asked as he started the car,
"A beta was poisoned, to the animal clinic" I said as he nodded, Derek quickly drove to the clinic, I watched as Derek and Stiles taking the poisoned Brett inside and on the table, I watched as Brett was having a seizure,
"What the hell is happening to this kid?" Stiles asked us as I sat away from possibly getting hurt,
"He's been poisoned by a rare wolfsbane."I said just by the smell alone,
"I need to make an incision and you need to hold him as still as possible." Deaton told the two,
"Hey, Derek, how about a little werewolf strength?" Stiles encouraged but downed his emotion a bit,
"Yeah, I'm not the only one here with werewolf strength." Derek scolded him,
"If you can't hold him still, the incision might kill him." Deaton said as I watched them try but Brett's eyes were glowing.
"Derek, he's slipping. I don't think I can hold him. Ah!" Stiles yelped before Brett clawed Derek and pushed both Stiles and Deaton off of to escape, he looked at me crazed, I began to back away but Brett growled and lunged at me, but out of nowhere Peter punched him unconscious, eyes full omega blue, Derek looked at me which I darted to him,
"I guess I still have a little werewolf strength myself." Peter told us as Derek held me,
"Yeah, maybe more than a little." I said feeling thankful then I noticed Derek's marks from Brett weren't heal as normal, I looked at him and he nodded at me, another thing about him losing his power,
"Hey, Doc, I don't think he's breathing. Is he okay?" Stiles said as soon as Deaton got to his side, the vet made an incision that plumbed yellow smoke, Peter noticed Derek's slowed healing which finally healed over.
"I think he'll be fine, but probably out for a while." Deaton told us as I watched Brett's lips moving,
"Guys, can you hear that? I think he's saying something." stiles told us as I tuned my hearing,
"The sun... The moon... The truth... The sun... The moon... The truth..." Brett kept repeating, but I know the saying,
"Three things cannot long be hidden. The sun, the moon, and the truth. It's Buddhist." Deaton told us and Peter looked at us,
"Satomi."Peter told us, I remember Satomi from a long time ago, when I was a little girl. Derek grabbed Brett's jersey,
"We need Malia to find Brett's pack since he is basically unconscious" I said as Deaton nodded,
"We need to warn Satomi and their pack" Derek said as Deaton nodded, Derek and I went to his Hummer and drove to the school.
"What class is she in?" Derek asked as I smiled,
"She's in Algebra" I replied as he nuzzled my neck,
"Your losing your power, now it's healing" I asked as he nodded,
"I miss scenting you"He said as I felt the bond between us still there and still strong. I scented Malia,
"She's here" I said as he smiled and kissed my temple,
"Malia." Derek whispered enough, she didn't come out,
"Let me try" I said with a smile,
"How can you draw her out" He asked,
"I just know" I said before I felt my inner fox surface a bit, I made my eyes glow,
"Malia." I whispered but with an echo my inner fox produced, soon she came out, Derek looked at me surprised as she looked at us,
"Yeah. What are you both doing here?" She asked as I smiled at her and she smiled at me,
"Brett's still out of it. I need to find his pack and warn them about the Dead Pool." Derek said as he stood beside me,
"So what do you need me for?" Malia asked as Derek and I walked down the stairs,
"We both know a little something about this pack. They have a kind of secret meeting place in the woods. No one's spent more time in the woods of Beacon Hills than you." I said as Derek threw Malia Brett's jersey,
"That is Brett's. Breathe it in." I told her as she slightly shook her head,
"I'm not good at that yet." She told us as we got to the bottom,
"Try it. I'll teach you. Focus on the different scents. Some are tied to identity. Others give off an emotion."Derek said as she began to try then she looked at us,
"To the Preserve" she said as we nodded, we took her out of school, and began to drive her there, somehow to me both people had almost a scent deep within their scents it was related but how? I'll worry about it later, soon we reached the sign of the Preserve opening, we got out, but I stayed by Derek as the three of us walked,
"Their Alpha is a woman named Satomi. She's one of the oldest werewolves alive. And she's learned a lot." I told the young werecoyote, as she gave me a look,
"What does that mean?" Malia asked us as I began to unwind my ability,
"She's a bitten werewolf. Learning control wasn't easy for her. She did something a long time ago that changed her." I said as I remembered the stories,
"The quote is a mantra, it helps them with control" Derek said to her then she stopped, I also stopped as my ability began to work, and it was working fast as I was a ghost in the vision, I saw Satomi with others of her pack running as I smelt wolvesbane laced bullets being loaded
"What is it?" I asked her as I found myself seeing visions of people firing guns,
"Gun powder." Malia told us, my visions showed that werewolves were running away fast and the scent of fear embedded themselves in the soil, the air, and the trees.
"If Brett's pack is out here, I don't think they're meeting. They're hiding." I said as Derek held me,
"I saw with my ability" I said as my eyes flashed,
"Well what did you see?" Malia and Derek asked at the same time,
"Satomi and her pack, they were running" I said as I felt light headed but I was fine again,
"From who" Derek asked as I made my eyes glow my senses go farther,
"Hunters, assassins and a doctor" I said as I saw a man grabbing one of the weakened wolves and taking him into a car. My senses were once again absorbed into my body,
"That's it, that's all I can muster without passing out" I said as he smiled,
"That's something we can work with" Derek said before kissing me then helping me stand up.
"Thank you" I said as I nuzzled him,
"It's my job to protect you three" He said with a smile as we got up, soon Malia and Derek along with me search till it was dark, so we head back to the hummer, "I'm sorry." Malia said sincerely, Derek just sighs,
"There's nothing to be sorry about. If they don't want to be found, then we're not going to find them. Some werewolves have an ability. A kind of mastery over their bodies where they can actually inhibit their scent." Derek says as Malia pecks her head at the middle between us,
"They can hide from other werewolves?" shes asks as I nod my head at her,
"From anyone who's trying to find them." I told her as she shrugged, "So that's why nobody knew about Brett." Malia pointed out to me,
"Same with Demarco." I said as Derek nodded at me,
"Maybe we need to try something different. Maybe we need to think like Stiles." Malia tells us, Derek looks at her with confusion,
"Like a hyperactive spaz?" I said making Derek smile a bit as she shakes her head then looks at me as if it was very obvious to me but clearly it wasn't"Like a detective. If they're really Buddhists, then maybe instead of asking where werewolves hide, we should be asking..." Malia say to us then it clicks in my mind,
"Where would Buddhists hide. When Buddha sat under the Bodhi tree, he looked to the east for enlightenment." Derek says as it actually clicks in my mind,
"Is there some kind of eastern point in Beacon Hills?" Malia asked as I nodded at her,
"Yeah. At Lookout Point." I tell her, Derek kicks the car into full gear as we drive to Lookout Point then get out to see if Satomi's pack is actually here or not. I casted out my senses again to see if I could get a vision, I saw horrific things,
"Lexi baby what do you see" Derek asked as I felt my eyes glow full golden amber,
"I see the wolves, they are in pain, screaming, howling in pure agony, I can understand them" I said as I felt my cloak emerge again with my chakra tails waving in the air furiously,
"What are they saying" Malia asked as I furthered my senses,
"They were saying, 'help us, end our suffering, make it stop' " I said feeling control slip a bit but I felt a very familiar hand wrap around mine, I looked to see it was Derek's,
"Lexi control" He said calmly as he pressed a kiss on my temple, my chakra cloak disappears into my body.
"I got it Mi Amor" I say in slight Spanish,
"Siempre estaré aquí para traerte de regreso a tu humanidad sin importar qué" Derek tells me before kissing me, I feel his emotion bursting into my body, we part but our foreheads touch, keeping me in my human state makes me myself. Malia grabbed my wrist as she stopped both Derek and I,
"Malia what is it?" Derek asked as she had a look of full on sorrow on her face,
"You don't smell that?" She asked as she looked to our right, I nodded at her as I could smell blood,
"Wait for me. Right here."He tells Malia but takes my hand as we search only to find bodies of what we believe to be Satomi's pack,
"Oh Derek" I said feeling tears weld up, Satomi wasn't here though,
"Their Alpha isn't here, but I think she got away, in my vision I also saw another werewolf escape, female, powered scent, I think that was Satomi" I said as he nodded, I smelt Malia as she came to my left side, she was shocked at the sight before us,
"What happened?"Malia asked as I made my eyes glow,
"Carnage" I said with my fox present, the power radiated through my voice but I brought myself back to my human state,
"I think they might have been poisoned." Derek said as he then pulled me into his chest as a few tears escaped my eyes
"That's great. If assassins with guns don't get you, then the ones with wolfsbane poison will. Or maybe one with no mouth. Maybe we should all be running from Beacon Hills. Running for our lives. As fast as we can." Malia tells us as Derek takes my hand in his and we begin to walk away, but I hear a heart beating, fighting for survival. I turned around to see a hand, I ran to see it was Braeden,
"Derek she's shot" I yelled as he came to my side,
"pick her up, we need to take her to a hospital" I say as he picks her up, we dart back to the hummer and begin to drive.
