The Girl Who Knew too Much and the Boy Who Knew Nothing
(Previously)
The group smiled at him excluding Cora, Peter, and Derek "of course dude… you're our alpha". Scott and Stiles kneeled down hugging him "you are the closest thing either of us has to a brother… we won't let you do this alone". Allison fell forward hugging him making Scott look away with a guilty face "I don't even have to tell you why i'm helping". He smiled at his friends "ok… I assume you guys will keep a rotating watch over me"? Scott nodded pulling out a large collar "we will with Derek taking first watch… but you have to wear this".
Zach took it seeing it was a high voltage shock collar "why do I need this"? Isaac piped up "at the loft … electricity is what turned you back to normal". Zach nodded clasping the collar around his neck "so if I go crazy… then you'll give me a shock". They nodded as everyone walked out excluding Derek "we know you can beat this". They left him as Derek grabbed a chair sitting in front of him "Deaton told us the only way… is for you to kill him".
Zach nodded sitting back "ok then I guess… i'll see you when I wake up". He fell into a lull as he stared at the large white wolf "let's get going". His body grew into a large black wolf with pristine fur. They ran at each other smashing against each other mid air as they fought for dominance.
(Now)
Shaky hands grabbed at Zach's face calming him down as he spun in his bed "Zach… Zach wake up"! His eyes shot open to Derek who stared at him with concern… I guess he took round… what is it now"? Derek sighed sitting in his chair "by my count… a couple dozen… let's go through it again". Zach nodded "so Deaton has been helping me with power… what truly counts in my soul".
Derek spoke next next "and your pack has been training with you and going back to the basics of control". Zach put his third finger up "Scott and Stiles have been scouring the internet and asking questions to anyone that can give them". Derek growled out "even Deucalion… your a puzzle… what about Allison"? Zach felt a faint blush "focusing on anchors… and her dad has helped with any knowledge his family knows".
Derek punched the wall "damn it… and me going in with you hasn't been very helpful… how does no one know anything"? A voice spoke out through the vault door "well i'm glad you moved him out of the loft… but I think you forgot someone to ask". Zach scoffed as Peter walked through "what would you know"? Peter chuckled staring down at him "not me… your past… none of us now much about originals but maybe that has something to do with it".
Zach threw his hands up "well the only people that know about originals are in a desert town… and I doubt any of them know much". Peter chuckled sitting down "what about your family… do you remember your parents"? Zach shook his head lightly "I… I didn't get to meet them… I was barely alive when they passed". Peter gave him a large grin "well then let me enlighten you".
Peter looked up at Derek "I've been telling a lot of stories today… and it made me think of another pack that was apart of the council". Derek's eyes widened "his parents pack… I didn't know much about them… other than they had much more than werewolves". Peter clapped his hands together "well then … let me tell you one of the few things Talia told me … your family past".
Zach nodded paying close attention getting comfortable on the metallic floor "ok… tell me about it". Peter smiled going into a loud voice "it happened more than… well quite a while ago in this very town".
(Many Years Ago)
A tall man with curly black hair stood with a tall thin women that shared his long curly black hair. They stood in front of all the alphas of the council including Talia Hale "i'm so glad you two could make it". The man stepped forward in a black business suit and held up his hand showing off a ring that had a vicious wolf engraved on it. He looked around him "well one of my youngest betas lost their life to these hunters… so both my wife and I believe we need to talk about it".
The woman nodded in a tight black skirt and matching top along with black tights disappearing at her thighs "we both think a sign of peace is needed". Ennis growled out slashing at the pipes "so they kill our betas and we just ask for peace"!? The man looked over with a serious red gaze "if we go to war with the Argents… then many more of our family will die". He stepped forward seeing the three men standing behind the two alphas step up to him. Ennis growled out "you don't know what it feels like to lose your own"!
The man stepped forward grabbing Ennis by his shirt "just because our family is varying doesn't mean I don't feel the knife in my heart when they pass". A calm voice spoke out "stop this fighting… we need a united front… not a three way war". The man looked over to see Deucalion "you are right… but I stand by peace". Deucalion smiled nodding his head "I agree fully Fenris … if one of the bloodiest wolves here can agree with peace than that means something".
Fenris chuckled "please Deucalion just call me Alexander … that wolf is long gone". Talia spoke up making the room quite "Ennis please… if we can organize peach then we won't have to worry about our families". Kali caught their attention "I heard that your beta killed one of their own as well". Ennis growled at her "that was an accident … and didn't deserve for him to be cut in half"!
The final women sighed "those Argents follow a code and he broke it… I'm not saying he deserved it but we can't retaliate for that". He looked back with anger in his eyes "and what about your beta… tell us what happened"? Alexander gave a sad sigh "he was a werebear … he lost control when the moon came out and attacked a group of teens… he killed two". It became quiet until the women spoke up "we miss him with all our being… but we can't in good conscious blame them".
Ennis walked up to the metal siding shoving his claws in to it "well I can… they treat us like animals… so I'll give them one". Before anyone could stop him he tore a spiral into the building making everyone give a gasp. The two business alphas turned around "we will not be apart of this … we can't".
Talia jumped forward grabbing Alexanders shoulder "what do you mean… we need as much help as we can get"? The woman looked back with a smile patting her stomach "... we have a little gift coming soon". Talia and Kali clapped their hands together jumping forward "how could you not tell us… when are you expecting". She blushed pushing her hair back "in roughly seven months… were moving a little up north". The women smiled as Deucalion gave a quick hug t Alexander "congratulations… if you need anything … please tell me".
(Present)
Derek grabbed Peter stopping him "so they left for Zach… what does this have to do with him right now"? Peter sighed looking over at him "she kept in contact with Talia… and we quickly found out what was happening".
(8 Months after the meeting)
Alexander stepped forward lifting a loud baby in his arms "he's so active … he'll be so strong when grows up". He pulled his ring off placing it in Zach's hand "this will be yours one day". A loud noise broke their moment making Alexander look back "ok … you go now and be good with your uncle". He handed the baby to Zach's uncle with teary eyes "you take care of him ... for us".
The older man nodded walking back to his truck and driving off "he will have a good home". Alexander walked off facing his old friends "Deucalion … what happened to you"! The group of them stared him down holding his wife by the hair. "We want the great Fenris… or we'll kill your wife". Alexander lifted his hand holding the ring in his hand "take this Deucalion… give it to Zach". Deucalion caught the ring out of the air "so you'll just lay down and die… boy have you fallen off".
Alexander kneeled down as his wife spoke out "we were your friends… why do this". Kali looked down at her "because… when you heard what we did… you would have come to us". She looked at her old friend "you'll pay for this… one day". Deucalion pocketed the ring "I will give him this ring… on your behalf". Enni stepped forward and slashed open Alexander's throat "pfft …. Fenris".
(Present)
Zach sat still feeling an anger rise in his chest "so they killed them … how do you know that for sure". Peter shrugged "that's what Talia told me… but the important thing is the last thing she told me". He leaned forward making Zach sweat with anticipation "when they had you … she told us that you were twins". Zach's eyes flew open "I have a brother … or sister somewhere out there"? Peter nodded with a large grin "and we can't ask your uncle what happened … so that's two things to check out".
Zach nodded standing up "Deucalion has some things to answer for… when we make a plan for him… chains or no chains i'm going". Derek nodded sitting back "then we need to get you focused… let's go for round 40".
(Days later)
Scott sat with Zach watching him closely "hey I have a question… about Allison". Zach looked up with an awkward smile "go for it". Scott looked away scratching his chin "has she been weird lately… like distant"? Zach shook his head "no she has been here as much as possible … but she had something to do today". Scott sighed scratching his head "if I… let you out for some air could you check on her"?
Zach gave a large smile "I would love to get out of here for a bit… are you sure"? Scott handed him the controller "give this to her and it should be fine". He threw the chains to the side and patted him on the back "I don't want her doing anything crazy". Zach nodded rubbing his wrists "no problem… I don't think anything bad will happen".
(Later)
Zach walked over to Allison's building combing up it as Chris walked outside "where's he going"? He felt a pair of hands around him pulling him through the window "what are you doing here"! Zach looked up with scared eyes as she placed the blade close to him "I wanted to help you and I needed fresh air".
She sighed helping him up hugging him closely "it's good to see you outside of the vault". Zach tilted her head up kissing her deeply "you have no idea how much I need this". She smiled as she hugged him more breathing him in "i'll let you help". She pulled him along into her father's study "look at the map". He stared down at seeing her pull out a map "... it's just a map". She pulled out a black light showing him new icons "there are more marks than there are victims".
He pointed down to a circled one "so this must be his next target… are we gonna go"? She held up her knives "well I am… are you coming"? Zach frowned "I don't think i'm gonna be popping the claws until I get everything under control". She gave a large smile grabbing both his hands "then we'll just get you some new claws". She pulled him into a room filled with gun cases and knifes.
He looked down at her "you seem very excited for this… have you been planning this"? She gave him a smirk "sometimes being the only one that uses weapons gets boring". He chuckled walking up to a few cases opening them wide. He pulled out a long black metal bolt action rifle "I like this one". She smiled grabbing a clip showing him how to do it "pull this back and fire and the repeat". He nodded slinging it over his shoulder placing a jacket over it "i'm kind of excited".
She gave him a large smile pulling him outside down to the parking garage as they both sat in the car. She pulled out her phone "so Mr. Westover was taken … and the only current connected to the school is an abandoned building". He nodded sitting back as they drove getting texts of different situations unraveling.
They parked outside the large abandoned building pulling out their weapons "should we call Scott"? Allison looked over at him with a smirk "what… you don't think we can handle this"? He sighed as she stepped out of the car "this has to end badly… but hey who knows maybe this can all end today". He stepped out pulling the rifle out cocking it back "ok … let's go get him". She stared at him holding the rifle "I want you to know… you are so hot with a gun". She giggled walking forward as his face heated up "let's go".
They walked in looking around the large warehouse "wait… I smell blood … straight ahead". She nodded getting low along with him as they walked out staring down a white eyed slashed up face. It screamed out making both of them jump as it loomed forward at them "get down"!
Zach pushed Allison away as he aimed forward firing a bullet missing by a mile "yeah I was scared of that". Chris fired two full clips out watching as the monster ran away letting them see the dead teacher. Zach pulled the gun down looking over to Chris "so you aren't the darach … damn it"! Chris looked back "of course i'm not the darach … and why do you have my hunting rifle"?
Zach looked down at the gun "I wanted some new claws… sorry if we messed your operation up". He strode forward grabbing the gun "next time … aim, breathe, and fire". He took the gun from him handing him a beretta pistol "and don't use my rifle". He walked off with Allison running after him "we need to talk". Chris looked back "no you should be in bed or at school not following me around".
Zach stayed behind looking at the gun aiming at a crushed beer can on a metal barrel "aim, breathe, and fire". He held it in both his hands aiming up pulling in a deep breath "don't shoot that here"! Chris grabbed him dragging him with the two argents "we don't need you missing and it hitting something important".
Allison looked back at him as he pocketed the gun in his waistband "sorry… but I think I would've hit it". Chris scoffed as Allison stuck up for her boyfriend "so you have been lying to me for two months"?! Chris looked back with fire in his eyes "Allison … I don't think you should be talking about lying". Zach growled out "hey… another teacher will be taken tonight and all of them are at the recital".
The two of them stared at him before Chris sighed "get in your car and meet me at the school". They nodded jumping in the car and driving off "are you ok … you don't need to go back to the vault"? Zach sighed shaking his head "it's not like it can force outside of my mind … but just keep the remote on you". Allison nodded as she focused on the road "are you scared to transform"?
Zach gave a small nod "I know that transforming won't let him come out… but all I think about when I see my claws is the fear in everyone's eyes". She gave him a sad look reaching over grabbing his hand "... I wanna tell you something". Zach grabbed her hand staring at her "go ahead… as long as it's not about my marksmanship". She giggled as they drove into the school parking lot "... Scott and I kissed".
Zach's heart dropped as the words came out "... before I freak out… what happened to lead up to this"? She went through the story of when they hid in the closet "and when we stared at each other it just happened". Zach stared off into the distance "... what do you want me to say about that"? She parked the car and turned her whole body to him "I don't know… but I want you to know that I still wanna be with you… i'm happy when your around".
He turned to her grabbing both of her hands "well then I forgive you… the fact that you told me tells me you regret it". She leaned forward kissing him "thank you… I didn't want you to think I loved him more than you". Zach froze as she spoke "Allison… do you just say you love me"? She looked up confused "I think i've said it before… why is it a big deal now"? Zach gave a small kiss to her "because every other time was a crazy situation… and right now… it just seems better".
She gave him a large smile "well … I love you … you make me feel safe and secure … isn't that love"? He pulled her into his seat giving her a long passionate kiss "I love you… you make me feel in control". Before more kissing could happen the door flew open to Chris Argent "let's get moving … now"! Zach let Alison climb over him as they both were red in the face "of course". He hopped out walking into the school with them seeing a large crowd "well this makes it harder".
Zach looked over to see Scott nodding to him "the twins are here… and I see Scott and Isaac". They nodded standing in place waiting for something to happen as the show started "keep a lookout for something … off". Chris and Alison nodded looking around keeping tabs on all the wolves in the room. Zach notices Lydia walk out as the concert started in a normal fashion slowly building up to a ominous choir.
Scott and Stiles run out of the building making Zach take a large step towards the door "let them go… we need everyone ready". Zach looked back to Argent with a frown "... fine… but if something happens I'm going for them". Before Zach could continue a loud piercing scream pierced his skull. Every wolf in the room bent down in pain along with Zach who shakily held his hand up with blood pouring out of his ears.
Alison and her father kneeled down holding him "what's wrong is something happening"? Zach stared back at the door "it's Lydia… I can hear her screams coming from all around me". He focused hearing a much quieter screaming come from the main building "stay here and make sure no one dies". They nodded as he ran out of the room breaking through the main doors of the school watching as Stiles pushed against a door.
Zach ran up pushing him out of the way "let me give it a try buddy". He gave a strong kick to the door throwing it open and the desk to slide away. He ran in pulling out his gun from his waistband firing two shots into the back of their english teacher. She screamed out looking back with a focused gaze "you should have went for the head". Zach saw Scott on the floor and the Sheriff passed out. She raised her hand making the gun fly out of his hand "now you will pay".
She snapped her fingers making Zach fly back hitting the corner of the door frame making a massive dent. She grabbed the Sheriff and disappeared into thin air leaving the teens with a passed out Zach.
(Later)
Zach woke up seeing flashing lights and a puffy faced Alison holding his hand "what happened"? She looked up at him quickly hugging him "oh thank god… I thought something terrible happened to you". Zach leaned up with a pain in his head "where are Scott and Stiles… did they get to Derek"? Alison nodded "they went straight to Derek's loft and told him what happened". He smiled giving her a quick kiss "well then let's get going… we have to help them".
Chris came out from behind him grabbing his shoulder "your not healing… so you need to wait and think". Zach stood up as Chris slipped his gun into Zach's waistband "and don't let people find a gun with your prints". Zach nodded as he looked around watching people run around "is something happening other then someone dying"? Alison pointed to outside where a raging storm exploded around the school.
Zach felt a pit in his stomach "this has to do with the Darach… or we just have terrible luck". They walked through the school watching as everyone ran around trying to keep calm under all the pressure. Zach sighed pulling his phone up "we need to find out what's happening with the others". Alison nodded pulling her phone out as well "they said they were going to the hospital … somethings wrong with Cora".
Zach whipped his head to look at her "then I guess we're going to the hospital to help out". Chris grabs his arm holding him still "wait … if the Alpha's are there then we need to go and get some bigger guns". Zach pulls away from him "with how the roads are … it'll take way too much time to get to your armory and back".
Chris sighs holding up his keys "... i'll drive".
Zach smiles as the power goes out making his face go dark "wait… I hear something … it sounds like a growl". Alison grabs his arm looking at him with a confused look "how can you hear over everyone"? Zach pulls away from her as the growling got louder "how can you not hear that"?! Isaac came around the corner bumping into the group "whoa… Zach somethings going down at the hospital we need to go".
Zach jumped at his words "what's that growling… you have to hear it to"? Isaac stopped for a second before grabbing Zach's arm "nothing is growling". Zach pulled back as a scent passed his nose "you guys go… get to the hospital now". Alison yelled out to him as he ran to the back door "what about you"?! Zach looked back with a worried expression "I'll meet you there… but you guys need to go help".
He ran out the back leaving the group to worry about the teen 'where are you'?! He ran out into the rain as a strong hand grabbed him throwing him through the air. Zach hit a concrete wall making cracks spread throughout it. He looked up only seeing red eyes moving forward grabbing his throat. The shadowy figure lifted him high in the sky growling at him "what a weakling… surrounding yourself with these humans".
Zach reached for the gun only to be thrown through the air slamming into a metal railing bouncing over it. He fell for a few feet before landing on a bench breaking through it "who the hell are you"?! The figure dropped through the sky landing near him grabbing his shirt "how the hell did the great Fenris make such a weak child"? He went to give Zach a strong haymaker but howled in pain as a bullet shot through his leg.
Zach dropped holding the gun up and firing two more shots into the shadow before taking off running. Zach looked back seeing the red eyes chase after him on all fours "tell me who you are"!? Zach jumped over a railing falling towards the field rolling onto his feet and continuing his sprint. A mass swept him off his feet and threw him across the field landing in a pile of mud "you can't run from us". Zach looked up to see three figures surround him "please just tell me what's going on".
Lights came to life illuminating the figures showing off three different Zach's staring down at him "i'm the one that will win this little battles of wills". Zach stared at him in fear seeing the other two disappear. The white haired man walked forward as Zach lifted the gun "oh put that away… this is all in your head". Zach stopped with shaky breaths "what… what is going on with me"? The man chuckled reaching forward and grabbing Zach's throat "I can't take over … but I can take you away from the controls".
Zach struggled against his hands as he reached back and stabbed his claws into Zach's guts "now let's see what our instincts tell us". Zach lied in the mud as the rain poured down on him bouncing off his fur "ROOOAAAR"!
