Skye's POV
Derek, Isaac and I went back to the loft once Scott and Stiles left after they agreed to help much to my displeasure because I didn't want them to get hurt by getting involved again but Scott was able to ask his mom about the girl that arrived with Isaac but he texted me saying they had no idea who she was and she vanished from the hospital so there was nothing to go on there which left us back to square one.
"Scott says the girl vanished before they could get any information on her" I sat down on his bed sighing before I looked around his loft. "This place is actually really nice" he smiled and sat next to me. "I mean it's way better than the abandoned train depo"
"Thanks" he replied, I smiled but it quickly fell as I stared down at my hands. "Are you okay?"
"No, you know I didn't want Scott or Stiles involved in this because knowing them their gonna get hurt or worse killed" he lifted my chin to meet his eyes.
"Skye they needed to know because when the Alpha's finally strike they would have found out anyway and it was better it came from us" I nodded understanding that part but I knew Scott and Stiles would do everything they can to help now.
"I know that but you know Scott and Stiles, they're reckless and are bound to do something completely stupid which will get themselves killed"
"I'll keep an eye on them okay and only ask for their help when it's absolutely necessary" I nodded and rolled my neck hoping to rid myself of the tension. "You need to relax Skye" I laid my head on Derek's shoulder as he laid his on top of mine. "I promise I'm not going to let any of you guys get hurt" I frowned.
"That doesn't mean you keep me out of anything Derek" I replied squeezing his hand.
"I just want to keep you safe" I sighed lifting my head off his shoulder to look at him.
"And I will be so long as you don't go running off putting your neck on their chopping block because if anything happens to you than I have nothing"
"I won't Skye I promise" I nodded then pulled him into a kiss before I leaned back and looked over at Isaac who was asleep on the couch. "Is he going to be okay?"
"With rest but what the Alpha's did taking his memory-"
"How did they do that?" I asked cutting him off.
"It's an ancient ritual that mostly Alpha's used" I frowned in confusion. "I don't know how it's done I've just heard of it being done"
"Is it like what Peter did to Scott that night you agreed to work for him when he was the Alpha" he thought about it for a second then nodded. "In a way yes which is why we might need his help getting Isaac's memories back" my eyes widened and I stood up.
"Are you insane?" I yelled at him but made sure to keep my voice low so that I didn't wake Isaac up. "We can't trust Peter"
"I never said I was going to trust him but we need Isaac to remember and this might be our only chance at finding out where their keeping Erica and Boyd and Peter is our only chance to get Isaac to remember" I sighed and closed my eyes. "Come here" he pulled me to sit in his lap. "I don't trust anyone but you remember" I nodded letting my head fall to his shoulder.
"I just don't want this to blow up in our faces"
"It won't…I swear okay" I nodded and smiled when he cupped my cheeks then pulled me into another kiss. "I really missed you these last few weeks"
"I know especially since it was hard to get a minute alone with my grandma breathing down my neck wanting to know everything about you after she caught us on video chat that day" he laughed at the memory.
"I thought she was kind of sweet, definitely normal relationship stuff" I rolled my eyes because I've seriously ruined him.
"What have I done to my sexy brooding werewolf who growled and grumbled about anything sentimental and/or sappy?" he chuckled.
"He's still in here when we need him" I rolled my eyes again but then stood up hearing him growl softly at the lost on contact.
"Oh shut it…what food do you have in this place I'm starving" it was his turn to roll his eyes before he stood and grabbed my hand then led me through a small doorway which led to a room with a small fridge, table and chairs and one bench top space with a microwave sitting on top of the bench top. "Wow here I thought it'd be an upgrade from the train depo" he rolled his eyes but grabbed a box of mac and cheese then put it in the microwave to cook.
"Keep complaining and I'll let you starve" I laughed as I sat down at the table, he waited for the microwave to bing then he slid the bowl towards me.
"Thank you kind sir" he rolled his head as he handed me a plastic fork making me smile as I dug in while he cooked himself some before sitting down beside me, I couldn't help smile every so often because I'm pretty sure this was the first time Derek and I've actually been able to sit down and eat a meal together and it felt nice to finally have such a normal moment between us.
"What?" Derek asked making me look up.
"Nothing it's just this is kind of the first time we've done anything normal like sit down and eat together" he smiled.
"Hopefully one of many to come since I do eventually plan on taking you out on a proper date" I smiled nodding my head but knew it'd be a while before that was possible since finding Erica and Boyd came first. "Now eat before Isaac wakes up and comes a steals it" I laughed then continued eating in peace but once I was finished I was aware it was getting late and my dad would probably going to start getting worried soon.
"I should probably go before my dad calls telling me to get my butt back home" he nodded then walked me to the door and down the stairs over to my bike.
"Call me when you get home?" Derek asked.
"I will" he pulled me into his arms and kissed me slow and soft as I wrapped my arms around his shoulders and played with the end of his hair because I knew Derek loved it when I tugged at his hair or ran my nails through it.
"I love you" I smiled and leaned back.
"I love you too, tell Isaac I'll check up on him later okay" he nodded smiling.
"You're good with him you know and he sees you as his Alpha" I sighed because he knew how I felt about my potential of rising to an Alpha rank since I wasn't ready and didn't know if I ever would be.
"Well that's still gonna be a while" he nodded then kissed my forehead.
"Go before I refuse to let you leave" I smiled then kissed his cheek feeling the stubble of his five o'clock shadow.
"I like this…it's spiky" he smiled and rolled his eyes.
"Get out of here Skye" I laughed and went to leave but my phone buzzed in my pocket so I pulled it out and read the text from Scott.
Hey can you ask Derek to meet in the library tomorrow I think I have a clue on where Erica and Boyd are – Scott, my eyes widened in shock then turned my phone so Derek could read the text.
"What clue?" he asked but I shrugged.
"I have no idea but we should probably go" I sighed in frustration. "I told you they'd start investigating because Stiles is incapable of leaving a mystery alone" I rubbed my forehead.
"It'll be okay" I nodded then grabbed my helmet off the seat of my bike. "I'm gonna call Peter and we'll see if we can get Isaac's memories back then I'll meet you at the school" I shook my head at him.
"You're not seeing Peter alone with only Isaac with you because he's not strong enough yet so I'll be by before school then we'll see what Scott's figured out" he went to argue but I put a finger against his lips. "Don't argue because it'll be futile…I don't trust Peter because for all we know he's plotting to become the Alpha again and that means killing you so I will be here whether you like it or not Derek" he smiled then nodded.
"Okay it might be better for Isaac anyway since he trusts you"
"He trusts you too Derek…I'm just the compassion to your more backed off approach" his smile widened.
"I know which is why we'd make a great Alpha pair" I frowned and looked down at my feet because I was still hesitant about my potential to rise to an Alpha rank.
"Isaac already see's you as the Alpha female"
"And when it feels right then we'll see if I can rise to an Alpha" I replied swinging my leg over my bike and put the key in the ignition. "But right now I'm happy exactly where I am especially since you and I are finally starting to be a normal couple so at the moment I just want to stay the same" he nodded then kissed my forehead.
"I know" I pulled on my helmet. "Make sure to let me know you get home safely" I nodded my head then flipped down the visor. "I love you"
"I love you to" I replied before pulling away and drove home parking in the garage before going inside seeing my dad sitting on the couch with a beer in his hand watching some sports game.
"Hey kiddo how's your friend" I smiled as I threw my keys into the bowl by the door then went over and sat beside him, I'd texted him telling him Isaac had an accident and that's why I was able to stay out a little later since he's been more lenient after finding out I was a werewolf.
"He's better, Derek's looking after him"
"What happened you never said?" he asked making me frown since I have yet to tell him about the threat in town at the moment and really didn't want him to get involved so I was keeping him out of it.
"Oh uh he was…" I couldn't even come up with a plausible lie and my dad looked over at me as I stumbled over my words.
"What's going on Skye?" I sighed.
"I promised I wouldn't lie to you dad but-"
"Skyler what's going on, has something happened?"
"Okay…there's a new threat in town so you have to be careful especially because they might know about me"
"Who's they?" he asked me warily and I knew I couldn't lie to him anymore especially because the Alphas might track my scent here and go after my dad so I'd rather him be prepared for them if they did.
"It's a rival pack but you don't have to worry Derek and I have it covered" he frowned and glared at me.
"Why aren't I comforted by that Skye" I frowned as I stared at him. "Has this pack threatened you…is this why your other friends are missing?"
"Dad please I can't tell you everything and that's for your safety so don't pressure me because I don't want to lie to you" he sighed.
"Skye if anything-"
"Nothing is going to happen to me daddy" I replied cutting him off and squeezed his hand. "I promise you that Derek and I have it covered and as for this pack you need to promise not to get involved and just let us handle this, you're still new to this world and I can't lose you" he nodded but I knew my dad wouldn't just back off so I knew I'd have to keep my eye on him as well as Scott and Stiles. "Alright I'm gonna head to bed because I have to head into school early tomorrow morning to hand in a project"
"Okay kiddo, goodnight" I kissed his cheek then went upstairs changing into pyjama's then grabbed my phone and texted Derek after remembering I hadn't yet.
I'm home and absolutely safe but I had to tell my dad a little bit about the Alpha pack since I couldn't lie to his face anymore – Skye, his reply came back almost immediately.
It's okay we both promised we wouldn't lie to him anymore and it might be for his own good since the Alpha pack probably knows about you and if something happens he could be put in danger so it was a smart idea – Derek, I smiled.
Thanks, how's Isaac? – Skye
He's better and almost completely healed. Peter agreed to try and get Isaac's memories back so I'll see you in the morning – Derek, I still really hated this plan but trusted Derek's judgement so if he thought Peter was our only option than I'd go along with him for now.
Okay I'll be by early so I can check up on Isaac. Night boo – Skye, I laughed as I typed knowing he'd have rolled his eyes at me for calling him boo.
Goodnight Skyler – Derek, I laughed a little harder because I knew he'd called me Skyler to get back at me since he knew how much I hated being called Skyler since I was usually called Skyler when I was in trouble. I love you Skye – Derek xx, I smiled when his second message came through.
I love you too Der – Skye xx, I put my phone on charge then curled up with the pillow Derek always used when he stayed over and fell asleep.
I woke up to my alarm then quickly showered before getting changed into some dark grey jeans, a light grey top and my leather jacket then pulled on my combat boots put in some ruby earrings and clipped a heart shaped ruby necklace around my neck that my mom had given me before she died and I almost always wore it, when I was done I grabbed my school bag and headed downstairs.
"Got to run dad" I called into the kitchen where I could hear him finishing his coffee.
"Hang on Skye you need to eat"
"I'll pick something up at school don't worry dad" I grabbed my keys then ran out into the garage jumping onto my bike and sped towards the loft, I walked in and saw Isaac pacing next to the floor to ceiling window and could tell straight away that he was nervous about what we were about to do which is why I was here, he looked up when I walked in.
"Hey Isaac where's Derek?"
"Right here" I screamed and spun around then hit Derek in his chest.
"You're such an arse" I stormed over to the table hearing Isaac chuckle quietly before he started pacing again, Derek moved over to a chair by the desk laughing to himself before he sat down with a book in his lap.
"You know I'm starting not to like this idea" Isaac spoke up after a few minutes of silence as I sat on the table. "Sounds kind of dangerous" I looked up him as he paused momentarily. "You know what, I definitely don't like this idea and I definitely don't like him" he started pacing again which was making me more nervous.
"You'll be fine" Derek told Isaac without looking up from his book, I turned to glare at him because that wasn't exactly helpful.
"Does it have to be him?"
"He knows how to do it, I don't…it would be more dangerous if I tried doing it myself" I sighed then walked over to Derek and he pulled me to sit in his lap resting the book on my lap instead as I laid my head on his shoulder.
"You know Scott and Skye don't trust him, right?" Isaac asked and I snorted as I lifted my head up to look at Isaac.
"Trust me he knows I don't trust him, which is why I'm here" I watched Derek roll his eyes at me.
"You know personally I trust them" Isaac replied.
"Do you trust me?" Derek asked him and I looked up at Isaac when he hesitated with a small smile.
"Yeah" Isaac answered and my smile widened as I mouthed 'Good answer' at him and tried to hide my smile as I laid my head back against Derek's shoulder because even though I'd managed to fall asleep last night I didn't feel like I'd gotten any at all and being in Derek's embrace helped me relax. "I still don't like him" Isaac added.
"Nobody likes him" Derek and I said at the same time just as the loft door slid open so we all looked up seeing the devil himself standing there.
"Boys and Skyler" I rolled my eyes. "FYI, yes coming back from the dead has left my abilities somewhat impaired but the hearing still works so I hope you're comfortable saying whatever it is that you're feeling straight to my face" he said walking in.
"We don't like you" Derek and I replied at the same time again both with straight faces since we spoke the truth, Derek threw the book he had been reading onto the table then stood up as soon as I got off his lap but he kept an arm around my waist.
"Now shut up and help us" Derek added and I bit my lip to keep myself from laughing.
"Fair enough" Peter shrugged and flipped out his claws.
Isaac moved to sit in the chair Derek and I were sitting in earlier as we sat on the couch but I couldn't stop bouncing my knee nervously since I really didn't agree with this plan especially since Peter was the one doing whatever this was.
"Relax, I'll get more out of you if you're calm" Peter said as Isaac shook with fear and nerves.
"How do you know how to do this again?" Isaac asked Peter as he walked behind him.
"It's an ancient ritual used mostly by Alphas, since it's a skill that requires quite a bit of practice, one slip and you could paralyse someone…or kill them" Peter replied as he moved his claws into position at the back of Isaac's neck.
"But you've had a lot of practice though right?" Isaac asked him.
"Well I've never paralysed anyone" Derek and I shared a confused look at Peter's reply.
"Wait does that mean you…" Isaac started before he grunted in pain and started thrashing around as Peter stuck his claws into the back of his neck, I stood up but Derek grabbed my arm before I could stop this.
Peter held Isaac down as his eyes shifted blue and he moved his head around, I really didn't like this especially when they both started grunting and Isaac continued the thrash around which finally seemed to make Derek worry as he stood up beside me with concern etched all over his face.
"Wait, I see them" Peter suddenly said as his head lulled around more before he suddenly pulled away and fell into the table behind him as Isaac leaned down grasping his neck, I shook off Derek's hand and kneeled beside Isaac checking the back of his neck.
"What'd you see?" Derek asked looking up at Peter.
"Uh…it was confusing" Peter panted. "Um, images, vague shapes"
"But you saw something?" Derek questioned.
"Isaac found them" Peter replied.
"Erica and Boyd?" I asked finally sounding hopeful as I looked back at Derek with a small smile.
"I barely saw them I mean, glimpses"
"But you did see them" Derek asked also with a hopeful tone in his voice because this is the news we'd been waiting for especially after all the months we've feared they were dead.
"And worse" Peter replied making the flicker off hope burn out as I looked up at Derek.
"Deucalion" Derek said sitting down on the coffee table as he shared a worried glance with me.
"He was talking to them" Peter told us. "Something about time running out"
"What does it mean?" Isaac whispered.
"He gonna kill them" Derek answered.
"No, no, no" Peter shook his head. "He didn't say that, he did make them a promise that by the full moon they'd both be dead"
"As in the next full moon?" I asked nervously, Peter looked over at me.
"Tomorrow night" Peter confirmed as I sat down on the ground hanging my head since that didn't give us much time to plan a rescue let alone a good one that was going to work, I sighed but looked up when I heard my phone buzz on the table next to Derek so he looked down then picked it up.
"What is it?" he threw me the phone.
Skye where are you, I thought you and Derek would be here by now – Scott, I exhaled loudly then stood up and grabbed my bag.
"We should go" he nodded then stood up.
"Wait where are you going?" Peter asked us but I turned and growled.
"None of your concern, you served your purpose" I replied moving towards the door
"We have a timeline not a place and Scott thinks he has a lead on a location" Derek replied anyway as we headed out the door, I jumped on my bike and drove to school with Derek following.
We pulled up in the school parking lot and I jumped off then walked over to Derek and took his hand then we walked towards the library but I couldn't help notice Derek get some weird looks as he was known to everyone in Beacon Hills now no thanks to Scott.
We walked into the library and saw Scott, Stiles, Lydia and Allison waiting for us but what they showed us in form of evidence was barely that and it actually angered me a little since this was a waste of time especially since we didn't have a lot of that to begin with.
"I don't see anything" Derek said as he looked at the two bruises on Allison and Lydia's arms, I couldn't believe this is what Scott and Stiles meant by evidence of Erica and Boyd's whereabouts because it was nothing.
"Look again" Scott urged.
"How is a bruise gonna tell us where Boyd and Erica are?" I asked angrily.
"It's the same on both sides, exactly the same" he insisted
"It's nothing" Derek replied sharing my anger and frustration.
"Pareidolia" Lydia informed us. "Seeing patterns that aren't there, it's a subset of apophenia"
"They're trying to help" Scott replied looking back at Derek.
"These two?" Derek asked him with a small glare. "This one, who used me and Skye to resurrect my psychotic Uncle" he pointed at Lydia. "Thank you" he added turning his glare towards her. "And this one who shot about 30 arrows into me and my pack and nearly killed my mate…" he looked at Scott and I couldn't help match his glare as I recalled Allison nearly killing me. "By stabbing her in the stomach when Skye was trying to save me" Allison and Derek continued to have a stare off with each other.
"Okay, all right now come on" Stiles cut in. "No one died all right, look there may have been a little maiming, okay a little mangling but no death, that's what I call an important distinction" I turned to Stiles with a glare because I nearly did die twice because of her family.
"My mother died" Allison replied narrowing her eyes at Derek and I had to force back the growl as I recalled why her mother actually died and it wasn't Derek's fault since he wouldn't have been forced to defend himself, me and Scott if her mother hadn't gone completely insane and tried to kill us.
"Your family's little honour code killed your mother, not me" Derek pointed out with a stoic expression on his face since we knew that Scott hasn't told her exactly what happened that night.
"That girl was looking for Scott, I'm here to help him not you" Allison spat back at him.
"You wanna help, find something real" Derek grabbed my hand then turned and walked away pulling me beside him but Scott followed stopping us by the door.
"Derek give her a chance, okay they're on our side now" Scott spoke up.
"Well then maybe you should tell her what her mother was actually trying to do that night" I looked at Scott and nodded my approval before Derek grabbed my hand again and lead me away from them. "Skye I need you to be careful around Allison, I know she's your friend but I don't trust her and you know I won't hesitate to protect you even from her" I nodded and smiled closing my eyes when he kissed my forehead then left just as the bell rang so Scott, Stiles and I left the library and headed towards our first class.
"Okay, what would a pack of Alphas want with Erica and Boyd?" Stiles asked as we walked to economics class.
"I'm not sure it's them they want" I relied looking down.
"Okay, what like Derek?" Stiles asked turning to look at me. "Like they're recruiting?" he added.
"We don't know but we're pretty sure it's a possibility which is why he's been a little more on edge lately" I replied and tried to mask how worried I was for my mate but of course they saw straight through me.
"It's gonna be fine, we'll get through this Skye" I nodded and gave him an appreciative smile before we turned back when we realised Scott had fallen back and was looking behind him so I followed his gaze and saw the twins Lydia spotted yesterday walking away. "Hey Scott, you coming?" Stiles asked getting Scott's attention but we both looked behind us one last time but they were gone so we followed Stiles into class.
"The stock market is based on two principles, what are they?" Coach said slamming a book onto his desk after he walked in and Scott raised his hand. "Yes McCall you can go to the bathroom, anybody else?"
"Uh no coach, I know the answer" Scott spoke up but Coach started laughing until he stopped when Scott just stared at him.
"Oh, you're serious"
"Yes, risk and reward" Scott replied and even my eyes widened.
"Wow, who are you and what have you done to McCall, don't answer that I like you better, I like you better" I gave Scott a thumbs up. "Does anybody have a quarter, a quarter?" Coach asked everyone.
"Yep" Stiles replied reaching into his pocket to pull out a quarter but something else fell out to, an extra-large condom and I tried my best not to laugh as Coach reached down and picked it up off the floor.
"Stilinski, I think you uh...you dropped this and congratulations" he paused as students laughed and Stiles looked completely embarrassed. "Risk and reward, put the quarter in the mug, win the reward" Coach continued holding up his favourite mug before putting it on the ground then stepped back. "Okay, watch coach" he tossed the quarter into the mug with ease "That's how you do it, okay Danny, risk, reward"
"What's the reward?" Danny asked him.
"You don't have to take the pop quiz tomorrow"
"Coach, it's not a pop quiz if you tell us about it"
"Danny, you know I really expect more from you at this point really, McCall, risk, reward, the risk: if you don't put that quarter in the mug you have to take the pop...the...the quiz and…and you have to write an essay, risk more work, reward...no work at all or choose not to play"
"But isn't this just chance?" Scott asked him.
"No you know your abilities, your coordination, your focus, past experience...all factors affecting the outcome, so what's it gonna be McCall, more work, no work or choose not to play?" Scott looked at the quarter for a while and I knew he'd be able to do it easy but he put the quarter down.
"No play okay, whose next who wants the quarter?" Stiles eagerly raised his hand. "There ya go, there's a gambling' man, come on, step up, step up all right, Stilinski" he handed the quarter to Stiles as he got into position but as Stiles did this, the door opened and the Sheriff walked in.
"Stiles" he said in a stern voice.
"Yeah, coach I got it" Stiles replied without looking up.
"Stiles" that's when Stiles saw his dad standing there…with one of his deputies then they went outside to talk so I brushed my hair out of the way and listened while looking like I was taking notes.
"I couldn't find her, I just figured she'd hooked up with her other friends" they had asked him if he knew where his old childhood friend Heather was since Scott and Stiles had gone to her party last night, I didn't know this girl since it was before we'd met each other. "Has no one really seen her since last night?"
"No, we put out an APB but…uh Stiles, all her friends say you were the last person who saw her" his dad replied, I looked over at Scott nervously to see that he was listening in too.
"Me?" Stiles replied.
"We hope that it's just a series of bad decisions based on too much to drink but if you remember anything else, you call me alright" Stiles dad said then the sound of a coin landing in the mug broke me out of concentration and I looked over at Scott again, he caught my gaze with a concerned look of his own.
"YES, REWARD!" coach yelled as Danny threw his hands up since he was the one to get the quarter in the mug. "Okay who's next, Greenberg put your hand down you don't have a chance" I couldn't help the smile at coach's jab at Greenberg.
"So you think they kidnapped Heather to turn her?" I asked as them as we walked down the hall after class.
"Well Derek was the one who said it's easier to turn teenagers" Stiles replied.
"But what would a pack of Alphas need with a beta?" Scott asked him.
"They wouldn't" I replied.
"I don't care all right, this girl...our moms were best friends before mine died, all right we used to take frickin' bubble baths together when we were three I gotta find her"
"Then we need Isaac to remember" Scott replied.
"How, Peter and Derek couldn't do it, you know any other werewolves with a better trick?" I asked him.
"Maybe not a werewolf but someone who knows a lot about 'em'" Scott replied and I knew he who he was talking about immediately.
"Deaton" I replied nodding at Scott then texted Derek and Isaac the plan and told them to meet at the animal clinic after school while Scott texted Deaton.
After school we met Deaton at the animal clinic where he was already getting ready for his idea and I didn't like it one bit when he explained it to us so I wasn't surprised when I started pacing as Stiles, Scott and Derek continued to fill the large metal tub with water and ice.
"Obviously, it's not going to be particularly...comfortable" I heard Deaton continue explaining to Isaac "But if we can slow your heart rate down enough, you'll slip into a trance-like state"
"Like being hypnotized" Isaac asked Deaton.
"Exactly, you'll be half transformed it'll let us access your subconscious mind"
"How slow does his heart rate need to be?" I asked momentarily stopping my pacing and walked over to the tub next to Derek.
"Very slow" Deaton replied which didn't do anything to ease my worry.
"Okay, well how slow is very slow?" Derek added wrapping his arm around my waist.
"Nearly dead" Deaton stated and we all looked at him with raised eyebrows especially when Isaac touched the water and hissed at the cold.
"It's safe though right?" Isaac asked looking up at Deaton.
"Do you want me to answer honestly?" Deaton asked him.
"No, no, not really" Isaac replied but then we heard the snap of a rubber glove behind us and we all turned seeing Stiles wearing a surgical glove that went to his elbow and was staring at it but after a few seconds of silence Stiles looked over at us all staring at him.
"What?" he asked, Derek raised his eyebrows so Stiles took it off then came back over to us as Isaac stood up taking deep breathes.
"Look if it feels too risky, you don't have to do this" Derek spoke up voicing my concern, Isaac met mine and Derek's eyes for a second before nodding then took off his shirt.
He exhaled loudly before climbing into the tub of ice and gasped at the coldness then took several large deep breaths before Derek and Scott grabbed his shoulders to hold him then they shared a look before pushing Isaac under the freezing water but within seconds Isaac came back up partially transformed.
"Get him back under" Deaton ordered, Derek and Scott followed the orders and shoved Isaac back under as Stiles grabbed his legs but Isaac began struggling and resurfaced this time gripping the sides of the tub to keep himself up yelling. "Hold him!"
"We're trying!" Derek snapped then quickly got Isaac back under and held him down there until his struggling stopped, I stepped forward worried but Isaac floated to the top once Scott and Derek let him go and he took a breath
"Now remember only I talk to him" Deaton whispered quietly holding up a finger. "Too many voices will confuse him and draw him out" he turned to Isaac. "Isaac, can you hear me?"
"Yes" Isaac replied but I was worried when you could clearly hear his teeth chattering.
"I can hear you" he added quietly.
"This is Dr. Deaton, I'd like to ask you a few questions is that all right?"
"Yes"
"I want to ask you about the night you found Erica and Boyd, I want you to remember it for me in as vivid detail as possible, like you're actually there again"
"I…I don't wanna do that I don't...I don't wanna do that, I don't wanna do that" the lights began to flicker as Isaac began to move around so I stepped forward again because I really didn't like this.
"Isaac it's all right just relax, they're just memories, you can't be hurt by a memory" Deaton replied talking softly and slowly.
"I don't wanna do that" Isaac continued to panic.
"It's all right"
"I don't wanna do that" Isaac began to move more and more like he was trying to wake up.
"Relax, relax" Deaton continued talking slowly but Isaac wasn't calming down so I stepped up to the tub and placed my hand next to Derek's on Isaac's shoulder and he calmed down almost instantly, Deaton looked at me with a smile and nodded then turned back to Isaac. "Good, now let's go back to that night, to the place you found Erica and Boyd, can you tell me what you see is there some kind of building, a house?"
"It's not...it's not a house, it's stone…I think marble" I didn't like the way Isaac's lips shook and his teeth chattered…this was too dangerous.
"That's perfect, can you give me any other descriptors?"
"It's dusty, so empty…" thunder rolled outside and the lights started flickering again.
"Like an abandoned building?" Deaton asked him but Isaac began to move again.
"Someone's here, someone's here" Isaac replied then grabbed my arm and held tight.
"Isaac, relax"
"No, no, no, they see me, they see me!" Isaac said beginning to panic and scream so Scott and Derek grabbed his shoulders again to hold him down but his grip on my arm got even tighter making me wince when his claws dug in a little and Derek looked at me ready to step in but I shook my head telling him it was fine.
"Just memories, you won't be hurt by your memories, just relax, relax" Isaac calmed down once more by Deaton's voice. "Good…now tell us what you see, tell us everything"
"I hear him, he's talking about the full moon, about being out of control when the moon rises"
"Is he talking to Erica?"
"I think so, I can't...I can't see her, I ca...I can't...I can't see either of them" Isaac replied with his teeth chattering again and his eyes were wide open staring up at the ceiling.
"Can you hear anything else?"
"They're worried, they're worried what they'll do during the moon, they're...worried that they're gonna hurt each other" Derek shook his head.
"If they're locked in together on the full moon, they're gonna tear each other apart" Derek informed us quietly, I nodded sensing his worry and it only added to my own because Erica and Boyd were like family to us.
"Isaac we need to find them right now, can you see them?"
"No" he kept staring straight up but his eyes started dilating.
"Do you know what kind of room it is, is there any kind of a marker, a number on a door, a sign?" Isaac suddenly gasped and sat up in the tub making everyone jump.
"They're here, they're here...they're here..." he kept mumbling as he began to lie back down.
"It's all right" Deaton whispered quietly.
"No, they're here" Isaac insisted so I put my hand back on his shoulder.
"Just tell us..." Isaac began to panic.
"They see me, they found me, they're here!"
"This isn't working" Derek yelled cutting in. "Isaac, where are you?"
"I can't see them, it's too dark!" Isaac screamed.
"Just tell me where you are" Derek continued to yell.
"You are going to confuse him!" Deaton exclaimed.
"I can't see!"
"Isaac where are you, just tell me where you are?"
"His heart rate... he could go into shock" Deaton kept whisper yelling at Derek.
"Derek, let him go!" Scott exclaimed.
"Isaac where are you?" Derek kept yelling completely ignoring them "What did you see?" I growled.
"Derek enough!" I yelled in and lightly pushed Derek away from the tub growling at him, he looked up and his eyes widened.
"A vault, it's a bank vault…they captured me…they're dragging me into a room I see a dead body…it's Erica" Isaac sat upright having shocked himself out of the trance. "I saw it, I saw the name" Isaac stood with Scott's help and I wrapped a towel around him. "It's, uh...B…Beacon Hills first national bank, it's um...it's an abandoned bank and they're keeping them locked inside, inside the vault" Isaac looked around at us when we all stared at him. "What?"
"You don't remember what you said right before you came out of it, do you?" Stiles asked him.
"No" he replied.
"You said when they captured you that they dragged you into a room and that there was a body in it" Stiles explained.
"What body?" Isaac asked us.
"Erica, you said it was Erica" I replied looking at Derek then watched helplessly as he started pacing the examination room while I stayed beside Isaac as I rubbed his arms and contemplated the possibility that Erica was dead.
"She's not dead" Derek argued clearly in denial.
"Derek he said, 'There's a dead body, it's Erica', doesn't exactly leave us much room for interpretation" Stiles replied.
"Then who was in the vault with Boyd?" Derek persisted and I know that he didn't want to admit Erica was dead but seriously how could we hold out hope when Isaac saw her body.
"Someone else, obviously"
"And maybe it was the girl on the motorcycle" Scott argued. "Okay, the one who saved you?" he looked at Isaac.
"No, she wasn't like us" Isaac replied looking at Derek, Scott and me. "And whoever was in the vault with Boyd was"
"What if that's how Erica died?" Stiles asked no one in particular. "They like pit them against each other during the full moons and see which one survives, it's like werewolf thunder dome" Stiles added and I rolled my eyes at him.
"Then we get them out tonight" Derek cut in then everyone looked at me as if they were waiting for me to argue with him but I had no idea what was the right decision in this situation, I wanted Boyd and Erica back if they were alive but I didn't want anyone else to get hurt either.
"Be smart about this, Derek" Deaton said turning to him and getting me out of the spotlight thank god. "You can't just go storming in"
"If Isaac got in, then so can we" Derek argued with him.
"But he didn't get through the vault door, did he?" I cut in looking at Derek as he turned to me again.
"We need a plan" Scott added.
"How are we gonna come up with a plan to break into a bank vault in less than 24 hours?" Derek argued looking around but Scott looked over at me.
"Don't look at me" I replied shrugging my shoulders.
"Uh, I think someone already did" Stiles cut in looking up from his phone.
"'Beacon hills first national closes its doors three months after vault robbery' it doesn't say here how it was robbed but it probably won't take long to find out"
"How long?" Derek demanded.
"It's the Internet Derek, okay minutes" I rolled my eyes at Stiles but helped Isaac stand and Derek, Isaac and I left going back to the loft.
I set Isaac down on the leather couch and as soon as his head hit the pillow he was out so I grabbed an old blanket and threw it over him before walking over to Derek who was leaning against the huge desk with his head hung low.
"We're gonna find them Derek…we have to find them" I hugged him from behind and kissed his shoulder.
"We don't even know what we're going to find Skye" he looked over at Isaac. "You heard what he said and he had to have seen something…if Erica's dead-"
"It's not your fault" I cut him off then turned him to face me before cupping his cheeks but he kept shaking his head in my hands.
"This is my fault Skye, if I hadn't been stupid and bit them then they wouldn't be involved with any of this crap and they wouldn't be sitting in a bank vault right now, they'd be normal teenagers thinking about the people their crushing on or when their homework's due" I made him look at me.
"You don't know that Derek, I'd seen Erica and Boyd around school and they we're miserable but then they became werewolves and I've never seen them happier because they had purpose and they had each other, they chose to leave remember so it wasn't your fault and if Erica's dead then the only person I'm going to blame is Deucalion" he sighed and hung his head.
"Skye I don't want-"
"Don't even think about it" I cut him off again because I knew exactly what he was about to say and if he thought I was staying out of this he was going to have another thing coming. "I'm not going to sit back during this Derek, not when the people I love are out there fighting, not when you are out there fighting"
"Skye I just don't want you getting hurt"
"I don't care about me all I care about is you so if you're going out there and fighting then so am I" he shook his head. "Derek please don't fight me on this because I really don't want to" he sighed.
"I love you" he whispered with a small smile then leaned down and pressed his lips against mine as he pulled me against his chest wrapping his arms around my waist.
"Except when I challenge your authority" I joked and he laughed quietly.
"Just a little bit" I laughed but then stepped back.
"I should probably go help out Stiles and Scott, I'll call you tomorrow and hopefully be able to tell you of a plan then we can do this together, we're going to rescue Boyd and whoever else is in that vault with him" he nodded then kissed my forehead. "I love you Derek so much"
"I love you too Skye more than anything" I nodded then kissed him before I left heading over to Stiles' place after texting my dad telling him we were having a cram session for a *Test* and would be staying the night but in reality we spent most of the night looking into the bank vault trying to figure out a way for us to get in and out.
"KIDS!" we all bolted awake at the sound of the sheriff's voice, Scott sat up and nearly fell out of Stiles' desk chair, Stiles was already half off the bed and fell spastically to the floor and I just sat up on Stiles' bed which is where I had fallen asleep last night. "I got to get to work, you three get to school" he started to walk out.
"Dad!" Stiles said quickly. "Heather?" I looked up at his dad expectantly.
"No, nothing yet" the sheriff replied before he left.
"Ten hours and nothing!" Stiles yelled as he stood up throwing more papers down that had been stuck to him.
"We're gonna find something" Scott encouraged.
"Finding something doesn't make Erica any less dead or Boyd any less about-to-be-dead"
"Well we still have time" Scott insisted and I saw him motion towards me with his eyes so I saw Stiles look down at me so I tried to force a smile on my face but couldn't.
"Sorry Skye but is this whole 'remain optimistic in the face of complete and utter disaster' thing a part of the 'be a better Scott McCall' program?" Scott chuckled to himself.
"No, not if it doesn't work" I rolled my eyes at them but stood up and stretched, Stiles sighed loudly.
"No it works" he muttered but then looked down at his hands and must have seen something on one of the articles referring to the bank robbery. "Oh Dad!" he yelled giving Scott the piece of paper before running out still screaming for his dad hoping to catch him before he left.
"What the hell was that about?" I asked Scott walking over and he held out the paper for me and in one of the photos was sheriff Stilinski only he was a deputy in this photo putting one of the bank robbers in a police car. "Oh…well I have to leave you two with this because I have to change and check in with Derek about Isaac but I'll meet you two at school" he nodded so I grabbed my bag then left heading home seeing my dad just leaving.
"Hey kiddo how was your study cram?"
"Tiring" I replied yawning for show.
"Alright well you better hurry up and get to school" I nodded then watched him leave before I went upstairs and quickly threw on a pair of black jeans and a grey t-shirt before pulling on my combat boots then went downstairs and hopped onto my bike and drove to school just catching up with Stiles and Scott who were getting out of the jeep.
"All right, so we meet at Derek's loft at five to go over the plan and then we don't get started until dark" Scott said nodding at me as we walked up to school.
"'Kay, what do we do till then?" Stiles asked.
"What, right now?" Scott asked. "We've got English" we headed into school and the doors closed behind us and for once we were able to complete the school day.
After school Stiles and Scott went back to Stiles' place to get the blue prints and info they'd dug up on the bank which his dad had surprisingly given to Stiles but I headed to the loft to give Derek a little heads up and to check on Isaac.
I walked in and threw some take-out bags on the coffee table by the couch next to Isaac who looked up questionably.
"Thought you guys might like some food" Isaac smiled at me then dug into one of the sandwiches I brought on the way over here but Derek barely acknowledged I walked in so I walked over and put my hands on his shoulders. "You should eat" he shook his head so I walked around and placed myself on his lap. "When was the last time you ate?"
"I don't know I haven't really been thinking about food Skyler" I growled at him for using my full name and he looked up then smiled but I rolled my eyes at him.
"Derek you're not going to be able to help anyone by running yourself down on fumes and you're going to need your strength tonight so shut up and don't argue with me" I stood up then grabbed his hand forcing him to stand. "Sit and eat or I will spoon feed you like a child" Isaac laughed but quickly disguised it as a cough when Derek glared at him but he did sit down and grab one of the sandwiches and ate some making me smile.
"Happy?" he asked when he'd finished two of them.
"Yes" I replied walking over to grab the empty wrappers and plastic bag to throw them out but he grabbed me around the waist making me fall into his lap with a squeal. "Hey!"
"I'm gonna leave you two alone" Isaac scurried upstairs leaving me and Derek sitting on the leather couch.
"Now look what you did" he shrugged pulling me to him.
"I love it when you get bossy" I rolled my eyes.
"Well get used to it because if you don't start taking care of yourself then-" he cut me off by pressing his lips to mine which made me completely forget what I'd been saying until he pulled back with a smirk. "Not fair" he laughed but it quickly fell when the door slid open with Stiles and Scott walking in.
"Oh my-!" Stiles turned away quickly before looking back with the corner of his eye. "Oh you're clothed" Derek and I both rolled our eyes at him before I stood up off Derek's lap and walked towards them as Scott chuckled to himself.
"We knew you were coming over Stiles and we don't just have sex all the time"
"That's way too much information" Stiles mumbled before putting all the papers on the table in front of the window just as Peter walked in.
"Where the hell have you been?" Derek asked him as Isaac came downstairs having heard Scott, Stiles and Peter come in.
"Does it matter I'm here now" I rolled my eyes but we quickly got to work going over the plan, Stiles grabbed one of the blueprints and laid it out on the desk.
"Okay you see this, this is how they got in it's a rooftop air conditioning vent, leads down inside into the wall of the vault, which is here" he circled the vent. "Okay one of the robbers was lowered into this shaft, now that space is so small it took him about twelve hours to drill into that wall, which is stone by the way then throughout the rest of the night they siphoned the cash up to the guys back on the roof through that one little shaft in the wall, Boom"
"Can we seriously rob a jewellery store next?" I joked making them look up. "I'm serious…I had my eyes on this gorgeous ring with a beautiful ruby in the centre-"
"Maybe next time?" Derek replied with a hint of a smile.
"Will you two stop, you can purpose to each other later!" Stiles yelled getting our attention back but I smiled at Derek as he pulled me into his arms.
"Can we fit in there?" Scott asked getting back to the topic at hand making Derek and I break eye contact.
"Yes we can but very, very barely and they also patched the wall obviously, so we're gonna need a drill of some kind, I'm thinking maybe a diamond bit..." Stiles replied.
"Look, forget the drill" Derek cut in.
"Sorry?" Stiles asked him as he turned to us.
"If I go in first how much space do I have?" Derek asked him while looking down at the blueprint.
"What do you think you're gonna do, Derek?" Stiles asked turning to Derek. "You gonna punch through the wall?" Derek smirked and crossed his arms as he turned to Stiles.
"Yes Stiles, I'm gonna punch through the wall"
"Okay big guy let's see it, let's see that fist" I stood up straighter and shook my head at Stiles from behind Derek.
"Stiles" I warned when he looked to be ignoring me because I could see this go horribly wrong since I knew how much Stiles still annoyed Derek most of the time.
"Big ole' fist, make it, come on" Stiles continued definitely ignoring me. "Get it out there, don't be scared" Derek raised his fist without looking at Stiles. "Big bad wolf" Stiles teased and I saw Derek shaking his head so I knew that he was not happy. "Yeah look at that, okay see this?" Stiles grabbed Derek's fist and held his other hand a few inches away from it.
"Stiles I wouldn't" I warned him again
"That's maybe three inches of room to gather enough force to punch through solid…" Derek punched his hand and a loud smack was heard throughout the room. "Ah!" Stiles cried out as he stumbled into the table and I started laughing hysterically. "Ah" Stiles cried out again as he walked away from the desk. "He can do it"
"I tried to warn you Stiles twice actually" I muttered and let out another laugh before sitting on the table near Derek.
"I'll get through the wall" Derek said ignoring Stiles' whimpering. "Who's following me down?" he looked at Peter and Scott purposefully avoiding me, I clenched my jaw in anger because if he still thought I wasn't going with them then he is seriously wrong.
"Don't look at me" Peter replied. "I'm not up to fighting speed yet and honestly with Isaac out of commission, you're not looking at very good odds for yourself"
"So we're supposed to just let them die?" I asked him angrily as I stood up.
"One of them is already dead" he replied.
"We don't know that" Derek retorted and I frowned reminded of Erica, I really hoped she wasn't because I really don't want to lose anyone else.
"Do I have to remind you what we're up against here, a pack of Alphas, all of them killers and if that's not enough to scare your testicles back into your stomach, try to remember that two of them combine bodies to form one giant Alpha, I'm sure Erica and Boyd were sweet kids, they're gonna be missed" Peter said avoiding our eyes as he muttered the last bit.
"Can someone kill him again, please?" Stiles asked sighing as he came back over to the desk still holding his arm in pain.
"Don't worry I'm working on it" I replied nodding at him and heard Derek chuckle at my comment while Peter glared at me.
"Derek" Peter looked away from me to Derek. "Seriously, not worth the risk" he crossed his arms as I rolled my eyes because it wasn't a risk to him but it was to us.
"What about you?" Derek said, I looked at him and noticed he was looking at Scott.
"Yeah if you want me to come…" Stiles started.
"Not you" Derek cut in annoyed.
"Scott…" Stiles nodded pointing at Scott.
Scott looked at me and I gave him a pleading look even though I didn't want him involved but I knew I would feel much better if we had someone to watch our backs even if it was putting the two of the most important people in my life at risk we had to do this.
"I don't know about Erica but if Boyd's still alive, we have to do something, we have to try"
"But?" Derek asked when Scott hesitated a little.
"Who's the other girl, the one locked in there with Boyd?"
"Guess we'll find out" Derek replied as they moved to leave, I started to follow but Derek turned back. "Skye-" I growled and let my eyes glow.
"Don't even think about it Derek Hale, I'm coming whether you like it or not" I moved past him towards the door. "Let's go" I shouted over my shoulder at Scott who hesitated next to Derek.
"Skye maybe you should-" I turned back when I heard Scott start to argue.
"I'm not a porcelain doll you guys, I'm as strong, as fast and can hold my own in a fight just as well as you two so if you want to waste time standing here then be my guest but I'm going and rescuing my friends, besides I'm the one with the keys" I held up the keys to Derek's car and watched him feel his pocket making me smile. "Let's go now!" I shouted then left not leaving them a chance to argue.
"She's going to be fantastic Alpha" I rolled my eyes at Peter's words but heard Derek and Scott quickly catching up to me.
"Is there nothing I can do to change your mind" Derek whispered as he fell into step with me downstairs.
"Nope" he sighed then grabbed my hand which had the keys and took them from me.
"Stay by my side the whole time Skye and don't take unnecessary risks" I looked up and could tell he was worried so I nodded. "Please for my sanity promise to be careful and only fight if you absolute have to"
"Derek I promise okay but I have to be a part of this" he nodded then we climbed into his car with Scott jumping into the back and we headed to the bank.
When we arrived at the bank we got out of the car then walked around the side until we found a ladder which would take us up onto the roof but Scott suddenly seemed hesitant as he looked at us.
"What?" Derek asked him having seen it to.
"There's just something I can't get out of my head" he replied.
"The moon's rising Scott, what is it?" I asked impatiently.
"Risk and reward" he replied looking at me as I rolled my eyes at him.
"Which means what?" Derek asked him.
"We're not measuring the risk with enough information, we don't know enough" Scott continued to explain.
"We know time's running out" Derek snapped at him.
"Yeah but think about it, they put the triskele on your door four months ago, what have they been doing all this time, why wait until now?"
"We don't have the time to figure out every little detail" Derek argued with him but now Scott had me thinking.
"But what if this detail, the reason why they waited, what if it's the most important one?"
"Then we do nothing and Boyd and Erica are dead" Derek pointed out. "I know what I'm risking, my life for theirs" my eyes widened in anger.
"Excuse me" I snapped at him but he ignored me as he jumped up onto the bars on a window before jumping across to the broken fire escape ladder.
"And I won't blame you if you don't follow me" he added ignoring my protest but he was looking at Scott, he then started climbing up.
"I'm going to kill him" I muttered before I followed him up with Scott right behind me, we found the vent using Stiles' directions to the right one then pulled the grate off looking down the shaft before Derek made the move to jump down.
"Be careful" he nodded then jumped down and started punching the wall as Scott and I could only wait patiently and it only took five or so punches before Derek was through the wall and into the vault so Scott and I jumped down and quickly followed him in.
"Boyd?" Derek asked into the dark since we couldn't see them anywhere but then a figure stepped out from behind a pillar growling and we realised it was Boyd who continued to growl at us. "Boyd?" he was definitely not happy to see us. "It's me, it's Derek" Derek continued just as Scott's phone started buzzing in his pocket so he quickly answered.
"Stiles, now is not the best time"
"Scott, Scott no listen to me, okay" Stiles said quickly making me turn my head to look at Scott questionably. "Look you gotta get out of there, the walls of the vault are made with a mineral called Hecatolite, it scatters the moonlight" my eyes widened.
"What does that mean?" Scott asked him.
"Where here to get you out, okay" Derek said still reasoning with Boyd holding out his hand in front of him.
"Look it keeps the moonlight out okay, they haven't felt the full moon in months"
"Think of it like the gladiators in the Roman Colosseum, they used to starve the lions for three days, making them more vicious, more out of control, Deucalion has kept them from shifting for three full moons, diminishing their tolerance to it" I looked back at Boyd at Peter's words and took a step closer to Derek.
"Scott they're gonna be stronger…"
"More savage, more blood thirsty, Scott they're the lions, they're the starved lions and you three just stepped into the Colosseum" Peter added cutting Stiles off.
"Derek we got a problem, a really big problem" Scott spoke up and Derek turned to him but we heard another growl making us all turn back and see a girl that definitely wasn't Erica walk out behind Boyd.
"Cora?" Derek asked and I looked up at him confused.
"Who?" Scott and I asked him at the same time.
"Cora?" Derek asked again ignoring us but I heard the way his voice broke making me frown because the only reason Derek would have a reaction like this meant she was important to him.
"Derek, get out" the girl…Cora said through heavy breathing "Get out now!"
"Scott…hey Scott!" I could hear Stiles still yelling over the phone but I was barely paying attention and instead was watching Derek stare at Cora that was until the vault door opened letting more moonlight into the room.
We all looked over at it and saw Miss Morrell which confused me until she knelt down and emptied mountain ash to the ground and finished a line of mountain ash which trapped us in here.
"No, no wait!" Scott yelled but it was too late.
Boyd and Cora stared growling louder then they lunged forward and we started fighting, Cora came straight towards me but I managed to avoid most of her attacks before she turned on Derek who had just pulled Boyd off Scott but luckily Scott had gotten Cora away from Derek before we both ran over to Derek.
"You know her?" Scott asked him.
"She's my sister, my younger sister" he replied making my eyes widen since I didn't even know he had a younger sister.
"What the hell is she doing here?" Scott asked him.
"Like I have a clue, I thought she was dead!" Derek yelled back at him.
"Look out!" Allison suddenly yelled confusing me as to how she was here but didn't have time to dwell on it since Boyd and Cora came at us again.
Scott and I we're fighting Boyd but he definitely had an advantage even on both of us and kept smashing us up against the walls of the vault before he threw us three feet across the room into another wall, we fell to the ground me landing on top of Scott before Boyd quickly came over and picked us up by our throats.
"Boyd please" I begged through strangled breathe but it was futile and felt my throat closing up as black spots started filling my vision.
"No don't break the seal!" I heard Derek yell out but I could barely hear over the blood pumping in my ears.
"Boyd!" Allison yelled before Boyd suddenly dropped me and Scott before making a beeline to the vault door over the broken ash line with Cora and they both fled the bank, I saw Derek rush over to Allison as Scott and I shakily stood he grabbed her forearms and shook her.
"Don't touch her!" Scott yelled.
"What we're you thinking?" Derek yelled ignoring Scott.
"That I had to do something" Allison replied.
"She saved our lives" Scott added backing up Allison making me growl at him.
"Yeah and what do you think they're gonna do out there, do you have any idea what we just set free?" Derek yelled letting Allison go.
"You want to blame me?" Allison replied glaring at Derek. "Well I am not the one turning teenagers into killers"
"No, no that's just the rest of your family" Derek replied stopping her from walking away.
"I've made mistakes" she replied as I glared at her. "Gerard is not my fault"
"And what about your mother?" Derek asked her making me look up at him in shock.
"What do you mean?" she asked him and Derek turned to look at Scott.
"Tell her, Scott" I looked down at my feet as I continued to hold my side in pain and was pretty sure Cora cracked a few of my ribs.
"What does he mean Scott" Allison asked looking at Scott but Scott just shook his head "What does he mean?" I sighed then walked away because I didn't want to hear this and Derek followed me.
"Skye come here" I sighed then turned and let Derek do a body check, he cupped my cheek and inspected a cut over my eye.
"Relax I'll heal" I mumbled then looked up ready to ask about Cora but then I caught the scent of a cleaner which I thought was weird until I smelt a hint of something foul underneath it
"Do you smell that?" he frowned as I started following it then opened a closet door and turned the light on my phone so that I could see better but screamed when it fell on Erica's decaying body.
"Don't look" Derek said quickly grabbing my shoulders and turned me into his chest but it was already too late.
"Oh my god why, why would they do this?" I cried feeling the tears cascade down my face as I hugged Derek's chest soaking his shirt with them.
"Skye go wait in the car, we need to hurry" I nodded and quickly ran out to the car because I didn't want to see her body again but swore that they weren't getting away with this especially Deucalion.
