Ice Pick:
Kristie groaned as she looked up at the rock wall in front of her. Kristie was athletic, but she wasn't that athletic and climbing on fake multicolored rocks was not her idea of fun.
"First up, McCall and Argent." Coach Finstock yelled over the chatter of the other students. Kristie and Scott looked at him. "Boy McCall." Kristie smirked and nudged Scott and he and Allison went over to the wall and got strapped in to their harnesses. As the started to climb to the top, Kristie looked around the gym. Her eyes locked on one student.
She was wearing a baggy gray sweatshirt and black sweats. Her blonde hair was disheveled and everywhere, tangled. Her blue eyes looked up at the wall with fear. Her name was Erica Reyes. Erica had epilepsy and was constantly the center of everyone's jokes. Kristie felt so bad for her. It wasn't her fault. She and Kristie were once partners on a History project and she was really a smart girl.
"Sister McCall! Reyes! You two are next." Finstock yelled.
Kristie looked over at Erica and gave her a smile as they got strapped into their harnesses. Kristie began climbing the wall and surprisingly made her way easily to the top. She smiled and turned to look at Erica, but the blonde was not beside her. She looked down and saw that she was stuck in the middle of the wall frozen in place.
"Erica!" Finstock yelled. "Dizzy? Is It vertigo?"
"Vertigo is a dysfunction of the vestibule system of the inner ear." Lydia said. "She's just freaking out."
"That's not helping!" Kristie yelled at Lydia. Kristie repelled herself down to Erica. Her breathing was raged. "Hi, Erica. Listen, you're okay. Everything's fine. There is a mat underneath you." The blonde still wasn't calm. "I'll go with you."
Erica looked at her and Kristie got that sensation up her spine and to her neck again. She nodded and Kristie grabbed onto her. "One...two...three." And the two repelled down together.
"See, you're fine." Coach said. "You're on the ground, you're okay. Alright, shake it off."
The other kids started laughing at Erica as she walked to the locker room. Kristie felt so bad for her. No one deserved to be treated like that.
Coach decided that he didn't need another freak out and ended gym early. Everyone went back to the locker room to change. Kristie reached her locker and changed. She exited the locker room and headed for the boys, when suddenly her mouth tasted funny.
It tasted like blood.
Kristie moved her hand to her mouth and noticed her hand shaking. Something felt off. Suddenly, Scott ran out of the locker room and Kristie followed him, getting to the gym, just in time to see Scott catch Erica as she fell from the rock wall. Kristie ran over to the other class and she saw Kristie was having a seizure. "Put her on her side." she said, and Scott helped her.
Kristie looked down at her hand, which was still shaking. How did she know Erica was having a seizure?
Kristie sat at her desk, doing math homework, when two strong hands wrapped around her. "What are you up to?" Derek said, as he began to kiss her neck.
"Math." Kristie said, shrugging Derek off.
"What's wrong?" Derek asked, confused.
"I just don't feel like being physical right now." Kristie said, bringing her knees to her chest. Derek turned her around in her chair.
"What's wrong with you?" Derek noticed she had been crying. "Did someone hurt you, because I can hurt them back."
"No...That's not it." Kristie sighed. "Today in gym class...I think...I think I felt this girl have a seizure."
"What?"
"I was on my way to the locker room, when my hand started shaking...and my mouth tasted like blood."
"H-Have you felt this before?"
"Something like it. When we were at Issac's, and I opened the cooler, I heard screams, and I could feel his pain." Kristie felt tears start to run down her cheeks. "Derek, what's wrong with me?" And the sobs began.
Derek wrapped his arms around Kristie and pulled her into a hug on the bed. "Nothing is wrong with you. It's normal."
"Normal? How is hearing screams and feeling people have seizures normal?"
"Remember when I said my parents were connected? Well, since you are the Alpha female, my mate, you have heightened senses and ways of seeing and feeling people, even though your human."
"Can I control it?"
"I don't know. My parents were both werewolves, and they didn't have to deal with it." Kristie face dropped. "But, I will help you get through this. I promise." Derek cupped her face with his hand and kissed her softly on the lips.
"Got 'em." Stiles said as he walked over to Kristie and Scott at their lunch table. He held up the keys to the ice rink he got from Boyd. Boyd was an outcast who sat alone at lunch. He was a nice guy. He let Kristie cut in front of him in the lunch line and the water fountain and always gave her pencils in Math when she forgot.
"Pick you up right after work tonight and we'll meet at the rink, cool?" Stiles asked.
"Sounds good." Scott said.
"Hey Kristie, are you sure you don't want to come with us?"
"Being the fifth wheel, no thank you. I think I'll stay home, maybe go hang out with Derek."
"Oh, you need to hang out with your boy toy." Stiles said.
"First, Derek is not my boy toy." Kristie said. "Second, I don't even like ice skating." Kristie noticed Scott looking off in the distance. "Scott?" She looked around and noticed Stiles and the other students in the cafeteria looking to. She turned and her mouth hung open.
Erica walked into the cafeteria in a black mini skirt, white tank top, leather jacket, and cheetah print shoes. Her make up was flawless, her hair was curled to perfection, and she had a smirk on her face that said, "Hell yeah I'm hot.".
"What the holy hell, is that?" Lydia asked, the three.
"It's Erica." Scott said.
Erica took a bite out of a boys apple and walked out of the cafeteria. The trio got up and followed her out of the school. They opened the door just in time to see her get into Derek's black Camaro. Derek turned to them and smiled, before driving away. The boys looked at Kristie. She was fuming.
"Maybe being the fifth wheel won't be so bad."
"Derek!" Kristie yelled as she walked into the warehouse. "Derek!" She stomped over to the abandoned train car and saw Issac lay in a seat. "Where's Derek!?" She asked.
"God, what's wrong with you."
"Issac, don't mess with me. Where's Derek?"
"Right here." Kristie turned and Derek was standing in the doorway.
"What the holy hell do you think you're doing?" Kristie asked, him walking over to him.
"What are you talking about?"
"What am I-? I'm talking about the freshly turned blonde werewolf walking around."
"I think I'm gonna leave." Issac said, getting up.
"What about her?" Derek asked, when Issac left.
"She's walking around in tight clothing rather then her usual sweats and sweatshirts. She is acting differently. Didn't you think that would be a flashing neon sign to Gerard saying, "Look at me! I'm a defenseless newly turned werewolf. Please cut me in half."! Derek you didn't tell me you were turning anybody else. You're keeping me out of the loop."
"I needed someone else in the pack. I need someone to help protect you."
"It's not about that Derek. This is about you not trusting me enough to tell me who you are turning!"
"Don't yell at me." Derek said, his eyes flashing red.
"I have a right to! I am your mate and as you keep saying Alpha female. You lied to me."
"I didn't lie."
"Yes you did!"
"You didn't need to know.
"I didn't need to know!?"
"You know what she was suffering from!"
"I get that, but..."
"But what?"
"She is drawing to much attention to herself and you didn't tell me."
"There are things I don't have to tell you. I'm your Alpha."
"I am your mate! And your girlfriend and a part of your pack!" Derek growled at her. "Don't growl at me! God! You are such a jerk! Have fun with your new little play toy!" She said, storming out to the train car, and the warehouse.
"Are mommy and daddy fighting?" A voice asked Kristie as she grabbed a book from her locker. She slammed the locker shut.
"I don't have time for this Erica." She said and began walking to lunch.
"I heard your little fight with Derek. He's really upset. Started throwing things around, had a lot of sexual frustration to let out."
"Shut up."
"Man, I'm surprised he didn't let all that out on the nearest play toy he could find." Erica pinned Kristie up against a locker, causing her to drop her things. "Listen here little bitch. You may be Derek's mate, but you are not my Alpha female. You are a weak, pathetic human, who is in my way. Derek didn't tell you about turning us because he doesn't trust a human with his secrets. He will turn another, he will have three betas, whether you like it or not."
Erica let go of Kristie and walked over to the exit. Kristie gasped and rubbed her wrists, which had a bruise already on each from Erica's hand. She picked up her things and went into the lunchroom. Just as she was about to sit with Scott and Stiles, she felt the sensation go up her spine. She looked around and saw Boyd wasn't in his usual spot. Oh crap.
"'Scott!" Kristie said as she ran over to him. "Do you see that?" she asked, gesturing to the lunch table.
"What, it's an empty table?" Scott asked.
"Yeah, but whose empty table?"
"Boyd."
"Kristie and I will go to the ice rink and see if he's there." Scott said, reviewing the plan. "And if he's not at home, you call me, got it." Scott told Stiles.
Stiles scoffed. "What?" Kristie asked.
"Maybe we should let him." Stiles said. "Boyd, you know? You said Derek's giving them a choice, right?"
"We can't."
"You gotta admit, Erica looks pretty good. You know, the word "sensational" comes to mind."
Kristie growled, rubbing her wrists. "How good do you think she's gonna look with a wolfsbane bullet in her head...maybe one I put there." Kristie asked.
"All right, all I'm saying is maybe this one isn't your responsibility."
"They are." Scott said. "And you know this things gonna get out of control. That makes me responsible."
"All right, I'm with you. And I've also gotta say this new found heroism is making me very attracted to you."
"Shut up."
"No seriously. Do you wanna just try making out for a sec. Just to see how it feels."
"Shut up." Kristie said and pushed Stiles forward.
Kristie and Scott walked into the ice rink to find Boyd driving the Zamboni. "Boyd!" Scott yelled. Boyd looked at them, but kept working. Scott walked out onto the ice. "We just wanna talk." Kristie was about to join him, when someone grabbed her shoulder. She turned to see Derek, Issac, and Erica behind her. The two betas brushed past her.
"Don't do this." Kristie told Derek.
"Stay here." Derek growled out the order and followed his Betas.
"If you're looking for friend, you can do a lot better than Derek." Scott told Boyd.
"Scott!" Kristie called out.
"That really hurts Scott," Derek started as Scott turned in his direction. "I mean if you're going to reviw me, at least take a consensus. Erica, how's life been for you, since we met?"
"Hm." The blonde shrugged. "In a word...transformative," Erica said, growling at Scott.
"Issac?" Derek asked.
"Well, I'm a little bummed about being a fugitive, but other than that, I'm great."
"How about your own sister?" Derek asked, turning to face Kristie.
"Since I've known you, I've been almost killed, multiple times, was kidnapped by a crazy bitch you used to date, and watched you kill some one, so I would say it hasn't been all that fun."
"You weren't saying that when we almost had sex."
"That was before you became a complete jerk."
"Hold on." Scott said, interrupting the two. "This isn't exactly a fair fight."
"Then go home Scott." Derek said. Erica and Issac began to walk towards Scott, but he dropped to the ground, punching the ice. He had transformed.
"I meant for them." Scott went on to fight Erica and Issac, and won, making them both lay on the ground, hurt. "Don't you get it. He's not doing this for you. He's just adding to his own power, okay? It's all about him. He's making you feel like he's giving you some kind of gift when all he's done is turn you into a bunch of guard dogs." Scott slid them to Derek's feet.
"It is true." Derek said. "It is about power." Derek walked towards Scott, transforming.
"Derek don't!" Kristie yelled, walking onto the ice. Derek head butted Scott and slashed his stomach with his claws. He then proceeded to punch him twice in the face and in the stomach. Scott elbowed him, throwing him off for a split second. Derek punched him again and then slammed him to the ground. Scott coughed up blood.
"Stop it!" Kristie yelled kneeling next to Scott. She held her hand up to Derek. "Please stop." She looked up at him with pleading eyes. Derek sighed and walked away from them. "Are you okay?" She asked Scott. Boyd jumped down from the Zamboni.
"Don't." Scott told him. "You don't wanna be like them."
"Your right." Boyd said. He lifted up his shirt, revealing a fresh bite mark. "I wanna be like you." He turned and walked away with Derek, Erica, and Issac.
"Come on." Kristie said, once they lift. "I can fix you up at the clinic."
The twins got to the clinic just as night set in. "Why aren't you healing?" Scott asked, as he looked at the slashes on his stomach.
"Because it's from an Alpha." The twins looked up to see Deaton, standing next to a dead body on the examination table. "I think maybe we better have that talk now.
