Skyler's POV
I looked around at the people next to me Scott, Stiles, Lydia and Kira all sat beside me on the couch in Sheriff Stilinski's office, the Sheriff and Scott's father stared at the five of us as we remained silent as we sat and as I looked over my shoulder I saw my dad glaring at me and I knew he was angry I'd disobeyed him and would probably be getting a lecture when we get home.
"So when did you get there?" Agent McCall asked continuing on with his interrogation, I looked back towards him.
"At the same time" Stiles replied.
"At the same time as who?" McCall asked to clarify our answers.
"At the same time as me and Skye" Scott added pointing to himself.
"By coincidence?" I smirked looking up at Scott's father.
"What do you mean coincidence?" I asked frowning up at him for show.
"That's what I'm asking you, the three of you arrived at the same time, was that coincidence?"
"Are you asking me?" Scott asked.
"I think he's asking me" Stiles jumped in.
"No it was me" I joined in loving this game and the look on McCall's face.
"I think he's asking the three of you" Lydia added and I smirked.
"Okay let me answer the questions" McCall replied and I smiled when he stuttered over his words. "Let me ask the questions" Stiles pointed at him with a smile. "Just so I have this absolutely clear, Barrow was hiding in the chemistry closet at the school, someone left him a coded message on the blackboard telling him to kill Kira then Barrow took Kira to a power substation and tied her up with the intent of electrocuting her, which blacked out the entire town"
"Sounds about right" Stiles replied nodding at him.
"How did you know he'd take her to a power station?" Agent McCall asked him.
"Well cause he was an electrical engineer so where else would he take her?" Stiles replied and I fought the smile on my face.
"That's one hell of a deduction there Stiles"
"Yeah, what can I say I take after my pops, he's in law enforcement" behind McCall the Sheriff snorted and laughed but once Agent McCall turned around, he stopped making it seem like just a cough.
"Stiles, just uh...just answer the man" the Sheriff said.
"We made a good guess" Stiles said with a sigh.
"What were the two of you doing?" he asked Scott and Kira.
"Eating pizza" Scott said at the same time Kira said. "Eating sushi"
"Eating sushi" Scott then added but Kira overlayed him again. "Eating pizza"
"Eating sushi and pizza" they finally said together and I smiled.
"You believe this?" Agent McCall asked turning back to the Sheriff.
"To be honest, I haven't believed a word Stiles has said since he learned how to speak and when he and Skye get together it's never a good thing" the Sheriff replied and I laughed. "But I think these kids found themselves in the right place at the right time and that girl sitting there is very lucky for it" Agent McCall turned to Kira.
"Kira is that how you remember it?" everyone looked at Kira and she looked between all of us before hesitantly answering.
"Yes" she replied then changed the subject. "Could I get my phone back now?"
"Sorry but no" Agent McCall picked up a bag, containing her phone and led us out of the Sheriff's office. "Kira, a Deputy is going to take you home but we'll need you to fill out some paperwork first" he handed the phone over to another detective and the others left.
I hesitantly walked over to my dad and he shook his head then laid a hand on my back leading me out and towards his squad car without a word or letting me speak to Scott and Stiles and I knew then that he was really mad at me especially since he didn't speak once in the whole time he drove me home but as I went to get out he stopped me.
"Skye I know this is your life being what you are but I thought we agreed that you we're gonna stop doing things like this" I frowned looking down at my hands. "I can't keep watching you put yourself in danger like this"
"Dad you know I'd never do something that I didn't think I needed to do but these are my friends and this supernatural crap is always going to be a part of my life and with these powers I can do stuff normal people can't do so if I can help then I'm gonna help, it's who I am" he frowned and refused to look at me.
"Not a great start to your birthday" he finally muttered and I smiled looking at the clock seeing it was after 12:00 which meant I was officially seventeen.
"Eh seventeen's overrated anyway" I replied shrugging my shoulders.
"Go inside, I'm going to be out late tonight dealing with the blackout" I nodded then opened the door and got out then walked up onto the porch looking around before I went inside and straight upstairs getting changed then climbed into bed falling asleep instantly.
I woke up, showered, did my hair pulling it up into a high ponytail then got dressed and since it was my birthday I decided to dress up pulling on a black knee high skirt, teal blue top, some black wedge high heels and my leather jacket before I put my leather bracelet on and my ruby necklace that I haven't worn in a while then grabbed my helmet and went downstairs jumping on my bike heading to school.
I walked into school and when I entered I saw Stiles over by his locker putting his books in his bags so I decided to scare the crap out of him before he had a chance to scare me today, I ran over to him smiling and yelled BOO right in his ear, causing him to jump and one of his books to fall to the ground.
"Holy…god you suck Skye!" I laughed then bent down and picked up the book he'd dropped and his keys which had fallen out of his hands. "Happy Birthday!" he exclaimed and I glared at him for the embarrassment as some student's turned to stare but eventually smiled.
"Thanks Stiles" I replied then turned around seeing Scott walk in but he wasn't looking at us and I quickly followed his line of sight and saw he was looking at Kira, Stiles noticed to.
"No, no stop, stop" Stiles rambled running up to him stopping Scott from walking over to her.
"What?" Scott asked. "I need to talk to her"
"No, you need to remember someone left a coded message telling Barrow to kill her"
"Which is why I need to talk to her" he replied.
"Scott no way, until we figure out if she's just another psychotic monster that's going to start murdering everybody, I vote against any and all interaction"
"I second that" I added holding up my hand.
"What if she's like us?" Scott asked looking at me.
"That girl walked through 1.21 gig watts of electricity, okay she's not like us Scotty" Scott sighed then nodded before turning to me.
"Happy Birthday Skye!" I laughed putting my arm around his shoulders.
"Thanks Scotty, does this mean you two are taking a break from scare Skye today" I asked them but they laughed and shook their heads. "Didn't think so" I muttered before walking towards our first class.
When school was over I walked outside heading over to my bike getting ready to leave but Scott came running up to me and I sighed loudly knowing this wasn't going to be good as soon as I looked up into his pleading eyes.
"What now?" I asked.
"I need your help tonight"
"With what?" I asked shaking my head.
"This" he showed me his phone and I was shocked at what I saw, it was a picture of Kira with light all around her. "It only happens in pictures and Barrow took one of her the night he kidnapped her"
"That's why she wanted her phone back" I paused sighing because I knew where this was heading, we were going to do something illegal again. "What do we need to do?" I asked sighing then stood grabbing my backpack.
"We need to get it back" he said and I knew what he meant.
"Were breaking into evidence aren't we" he nodded and I rolled my eyes. "Were going to need Stiles, I'll get him you meet us at the station with Kira" he nodded then left and I went in search of Stiles finding him by his locker. "You still have all the door key cards for the Sheriff's station?" he looked up confused but nodded. "We're gonna need them" he was still confused but nodded and we left heading over to his place to grab them before we headed to the Sheriff's station in his jeep.
"Okay, this one will get you into all of the perimeter doors, this one into the evidence room, and this one's for my father's office" Stiles explained each key card to Scott and Kira as he gave them to them as I sat beside him in his jeep, Scott and Kira were about to break into the police station to tamper with evidence, our record was getting very dirty.
"You didn't steal these, did you?" Scott asked him and I rolled my eyes at him.
"No, I cloned them using the RFID emulator" Stiles added.
"At that's better how, isn't that worse than stealing?" I rolled my eyes at him again.
"Scott you're breaking into evidence yet your worried about Stiles cloning key cards" he looked up but didn't reply, I scoffed as Scott and Kira walked away not wanting the two to us to hear their conversation, I gave them privacy and didn't listen in but I swore I heard something about naked pictures before they came back so Stiles could give them the rest of the instructions.
"Okay so now almost everybody's out dealing with the blackout but there's always somebody at the front desk, there's Dispatch and usually a night shifter or two, you guys are gonna use the service door entrance by the dumpster all right nobody uses it now I'll text you if anyone comes out but Scott if you get caught we can't help you, my dad's under investigation for impeachment because of your dad, so if anything happens Skye and I will run and leave you both for dead" I nodded my agreement because I couldn't afford to get into any more trouble with my dad.
"Got it, thanks seriously, dude" Scott replied nodding.
"I'd ask my dad but you know…"
"No, I know I get it" Scott replied cutting Stiles off.
"All right, just uh hurry up" I sat back in my seat as Scott and Kira ran into the station.
I started playing with my phone but paused when I came to life as I accidently hit the power button and I saw my screensaver, it was of me smiling at the camera and Derek was smiling looking down at me to avoid his eyes flashing to life with the flash but I still loved it none the less as it's one of the few I'd gotten Derek to take with me, I'd hoped he'd be back by now especially for my birthday but I knew it wasn't going to happen, I saw Stiles looking at me so I quickly locked my phone.
"So you heard from Derek yet?" I sighed because I wished people would stop asking me that.
"No and it's making me nervous, I can't stop thinking that something has happened to him, so much so that I haven't even been able to enjoy my birthday"
"Are you sure he's even coming back?" Stiles paused then grabbed my hand and gently squeezed it. "I mean…" he sighed "I'm sure he's fine and will call you back soon, you know Derek he's anti-social and probably doesn't even realise he's worrying you as usual" I smiled.
"I know he's coming back, he promised me he was" I replied playing with my leather bracelet, Stiles smiled at me but my ears suddenly picked up an erratic heartbeat and knew it was Scott, I sat up straighter and looked towards the station.
"What's wrong?" Stiles asked me matching my alert stance.
"It's Scott, he's nervous" I focused my hearing in on the two inside.
"See if you can find a charger cable" he told Kira and I frowned, the phone must have been dead.
"Who's that?" I heard Kira ask.
"Me, it's me and my dad" I felt myself smile.
"What is it?" Stiles asked me but when I turned to him to answer headlights of a car suddenly pulled into the station, we turned and ducked down as the car parked in front of us and Scott's dad got out. "Ah, hell" Stiles mumbled as Scott's dad walked around and went into the station.
"What do we do?" I asked Stiles as he had his phone out texting Scott but it wasn't going to send in time, he looked from me to the building and then let out a sigh.
"Okay, I'm gonna regret this" Stiles got out running into the station after Mr McCall, I let out a groan and felt myself slide down in the chair as I listened to heard Stiles' heart racing, he was nervous and must have been talking to Scott's dad.
"Hey, hey wow thank god you're here" Stiles said stumbling over his words. "Oh boy, thank the lord"
"What do you want Stiles?" dad asked him and I could tell he was annoyed.
"Oh jeez…I was just…I was thinking on the case…I was thinking I should clue you in on my thinking , here's my thinking, I was thinking that Barrow right…Barrow received the information about who to kill at the school right you know that, so I was thinking maybe the person who gave him that information, check this out" I rolled my eyes at his attempt to delay Scott's father from finding him. "Might actually be someone at the school…and that's uh my thinking"
"You're right" Mr McCall replied surprising even me.
"I am" Stiles asked.
"Yep we uh…we started looking for links between Barrow, faculty and students last night"
"So you already, then know that stuff, you already know that stuff, you already thought of that" Stiles stuttered.
"Your dad did" Mr McCall paused. "His one useful suggestion" I fought the growl in my throat because that was uncalled for.
"You know this attitude that you have towards my dad, you can dress it up to all the professional disapproval that you want but I know the real reason why you don't like him" Mr McCall chuckled.
"Is that so?"
"Yeah because he knows something that you don't want him to know" Stiles paused. "And guess what…I know it too" I sighed knowing exactly what Stiles was talking about, we both knew the real reason Scott's dad left but Scott didn't and we weren't going to tell him any time soon since it really wasn't our place.
"Go home Stiles" Mr McCall replied. "There's a…there's a curfew" Stiles came out muttering something to himself.
"What the hell were you thinking?" I yelled at Stiles as I climbed out the jeep to hit his arm just as Scott and Kira finally came out to laughing and smiling at each other.
"We did it" Scott informed us. "All the pics deleted"
"That was awesome!" Kira exclaimed. "I mean terrifying, completely terrifying...but kind of awesome, I've never done anything like that before, have you?" she asked looking around at us.
"Yeah, once or twice" Stiles told her making me scoff and roll my eyes.
"So, I guess I should take you home" Scott told Kira, she nodded and the two walked over to his motorcycle getting on but Scott turned to her. "Hey, you don't want to go to a party, would you?"
"Oh my god I forgot about Danny's black light party" I gasped hitting Stiles in the arm. "Let's go!"
"Skye…" Stiles groaned.
"Come on Stiles...it'll be fun and might I remind you it's my birthday" I smirked as he glared at me for throwing that in his face.
"I hate you" he climbed back into his Jeep as I smiled triumphantly.
"You love me Stiles" I replied following him but not before I heard Kira.
"Are they together?" I groaned.
"No their practically siblings since they've grown up with each other and besides Skye's kind of obsessed with another guy who's out of town at the moment" I smiled at Scott as I climbed into the jeep and Stiles followed Scott since he knew where Danny was hosting his party this year.
"You've got to be freaking kidding me!" I exclaimed looking around Derek's loft, it was covered in neon coloured tape and filled with kids painted with all different patterns in fluorescent paint getting drunk and dancing. "This is where the party is?"
"You didn't know?" Scott and Stiles asked me at the same time.
"Do you think I would be reacting like this if I knew?" my eyes widened. "Oh god he's going to kill me" I exclaimed thinking about Derek.
"No he's not, it's you…" Stiles laughed. "He'll probably yell but that's it besides it's not like Derek will find out since he's not even in Beacon Hills"
"True" I sighed looking around again. "I have to talk to Danny" I added then started looking for Danny and as soon as I spotted him I pulled him aside. "What the hell Danny, how did you find out about this place?"
"Ethan and Aiden said your boyfriend was out of town and that you wouldn't mind" Danny told me and I frowned looking around for the two idiots who had no right to offer up Derek's loft to host Danny's party.
"I do mind and he wouldn't be okay with this like at all" I replied sighing and rubbing my hand over my face.
"I hear you Skye, I really do" Danny started moving me towards a guy with paint brushes. "I swear I will clean this place spotless, no one is allowed upstairs, the furniture is unharmed and since the party is already going and it's your birthday" he winked at me. "We should just let it finish" I went to protest but Danny turned me around. "She needs to be painted, paint her like the night sky "
"Danny, we're not done talking!" I yelled but he was already gone, I sighed then turned to the painter.
"Lighten up princess, you look like you need a little fun in your life" the painter said before I could respond and started painting around my face.
He started around my eye and I recognised the pattern as a half crescent moon then he started down my cheeks and neck stopping just above my bra line, I looked down at myself when he stepped back signalling he was done and he held up a mirror for me to look at it completely, like I guessed he had painted a half crescent moon around my left eye then painted different type of stars all over me on any visible skin that was showing.
"Wow, it's really good" I smiled and I was glad I'd left my leather jacket in Stiles' jeep since I didn't want it ruined with this paint.
"Have fun" I laughed as Danny put a drink in my hand and pulled me out to the dance floor.
"Come on Skyler, have a little fun your only seventeen once?" I shrugged and laughed then chugged my drink because he was right I might as well have fun and Derek wasn't here so I could let myself be a teenager right.
"Okay!" I laughed then let myself move to the music with Danny.
I found myself laughing and smiling as I danced and soon it was as if we started a dance party because soon we were surrounded by everyone as we jumped and bounced along with the DJ's music but suddenly a howl stopped me as I looked around looking for the source especially since I knew that howl.
"Derek?" I looked around rapidly confused because if Derek was back then he would have come seen me by now, I sighed shaking my head and pushed it to the back of my head because I was probably just hearing things that I wanted to hear and started chugging down another beer watching some of the guys around me stare at me confused as this was like my fifth in twenty minutes and that was strange for a girl my size but I didn't care, I was finally enjoying a little bit of fun even if I wasn't feeling any of the alcohols affects.
I started dancing again and laughing but stopped when I felt a hand on my shoulder and looked up into two piercing angry green eyes and stopped turning around to make sure I wasn't seeing anything but he was here.
"Derek!" I shouted over the music "You're actually here" I added but then shut my mouth when he looked down and glared at me then he grabbed my hand and led me over to the DJ booth but the bodyguard stopped him.
"Bro sorry, The Bloody Beetroot doesn't take requests" he told Derek putting his hand on his chest, Derek scowled and nodded at him then tried to go past again. "Bro, seriously I said the DJ doesn't take..." Derek grabbed his throat, causing him to be able to finish his words.
"Derek!" I snapped because that wasn't very nice, this guy was just doing his job.
"He'll take mine" Derek told him and threw him to the side then walked up to the table, knocking it and all the equipment to the ground, the whole room became silent as everyone looked over at Derek. "Get out!" he yelled, his voice thundering through the room and people took that as a warning and scattered exiting the apartment as quick as they could.
"I know you're probably mad at me but this wasn't my fault " he looked over at me.
"We'll talk when we're alone" he whispered before biting my ear making me smile but then we noticed black hooded figures with silver masks on began appearing as the last person left and they all turned to look at Aiden.
"Guys, they're all looking at me" Aiden said nervously as they took a step towards him. "Why are they all looking at me?" they took more steps toward him. "Guys?" I looked at Derek then we attacked.
Scott, Derek and I all went for the figures but they seemed a part of the air and dodged every move we made and whatever punch or kick we tried to land didn't work I saw them push Derek away but he quickly recovered and roared at them then tried snapping ones neck but it just seemed to click it back in place then grab Derek and threw him into a pillar.
"DEREK!" I yelled and ran over to check Derek was okay and saw Scott continue to fight them but they threw him across the room like he weighed nothing, I growled then ran up to one and punched it a few times but it grabbed my arm snapping it then tossed me across the room right into Derek who had just tried to stand up which just made him fall over again as I landed against him.
Derek helped me sit up and checked to make sure I was okay, I nodded then saw Isaac run towards the creatures but they all turned and pulled a thin black ninja sword out of their chests, causing Isaac to step back and I agreed with him as this just got a lot more complicated.
"Somebody do something!" Allison exclaimed as the two figures grabbed Aiden's arms holding him as another one grabbed the side of his head and stared Aiden in the eyes before stepping back and Aiden fell to the ground.
Then they turned and two of them stared Scott down as one stared me down as I stood up ready to defend myself again even if I was nursing my broken arm but then saw Derek stand up and he took a protective stance in front of me as we all bared our fangs at them.
I saw Scott look back at Kira as he backed up in front of her and realised she'd seen all of us shift, I turned back to the creatures but before they could do anything, the sun came up and they disappeared into thin air.
"What the hell were those things?" I exclaimed and saw Isaac turn to Allison.
"Your dad's 24 hours are up" he said confusing all of us so we all looked over at Allison.
"What is he talking about?" I asked her wincing as Derek started checking over my arm.
"My dad may know something about these creatures but he wasn't specific and asked Isaac and I for twenty-four hours of silence so he could dig up more information about them" she sighed.
"We should go talk to your dad" Scott said before looking at a shocked Kira and I wouldn't blame her, she just got thrown into our world whether she liked it or not and we still didn't even know what she was since she clearly wasn't human either.
