Chapter Twenty-One: All or Nothing

The Beacon Hills Hospital was at a disarray. Patient beds, syringes and dead bodies littered the halls and quite frankly, Melissa McCall was terrified. As she hid behind the surgery room doors, she could hear the sounds of Derek and the first liter of his pack fighting the large buff Alpha that attacked the hospital first. She looked out of the door window, and the Alpha in question was thrown through the doors, blowing her out of the way and making her crash into a medicine cabinet a few feet back.

Ennis landed on the wall with a loud thud, the concrete wall denting with the force of the crash. He fell forward and landed face first, growling when he looked up and saw Derek and Peter walk through the double doors, completely wolfed out. He wiped the blood from his mouth and got up, brushing himself off and charging right back at Derek and his uncle. Peter intercepted the tackled and dug his claws deep into Ennis's chest, and lifted him off the ground as he thrusted Ennis into the ceiling.

Cora ran into the surgery room, and quickly went to Melissa's side, helping her up and carrying her out of the room. She handed her over to Stiles, who ran with Boyd and Erica to another room, and she jumped back into action, walking back into the surgery room and shutting the door behind her.

Ennis, who was pinned to the wall by Derek looked back over to Cora, and Peter. He chuckled darkly, "What is this? Family bonding?"

"You could say that." Peter stated, swiping Ennis in the face with his claws. Ennis knocked Peter in the face with a headbutt and uppercut him under the chin, sending him flying backwards.

Derek caught his uncle and with that action, gave Cora enough time to jump over and try to punch the opponent in the face, but wasn't fast enough, as Ennis grabbed her arm and slammed her against the wall. He grabbed a full fist of hair and lifted her up, examining her figure.

"You think you could beat me?" Ennis chuckled. He threw her up against the ceiling and then throwing her against the wall. He licked his fangs and cracked his fingers, "I think you got a lot to learn bitch."

She groaned in pain, and Ennis leapt into the air, his clothes ripping as he exploded into a giant silver wolf, roaring in her face. He confirmed his fierce and fury by sinking his teeth into her leg, and throwing her against her brother and uncle, knocking all three to the ground. Groaning in pain, she looked toward her family members and nodded, as all three stood up together, and looked toward their opponent, their eyes lighting up in fluorescent colors, Cora's with her amber eyes. Peter with his lighting blue iris', and Derek's with his crimson eyes of flaming fury.

Stiles carried Melissa into an open janitor closet, the outside halls decorated with blood from the Alpha's massacre. The ceiling panels were all over the floor, the dust and debris littering the clothes of the remaining survivors. He ushered her to stay quiet and she nodded, hiding behind a shelf. He closed the door and walked over to Boyd and Erica who were waiting just around the corner.

"We have to wait somewhere that Scott and the others could find us." Stiles said, gesturing for the others to follow him. They walked around the corridor, as Elena and Deucalion faced them on opposite sides of the hall.

"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" Deucalion said, walking forward and adjusting his cane. He took off his dark black glasses, his white eyes turning a crimson red.

"Go find Scott and the others.." Erica said to Stiles, shooing him off in the opposite direction. "Me and Boyd can handle them."

"Are you sure?" he asked, before being shooed off again.

"Go!" Erica shouted, her canines elongated and her claws outstretched as she looked back at her attackers. Stiles took one last glance before running off in a separate hallway, as Elena retreated back as well, going off in her own direction.

Deucalion leapt into the air, his cane whipping with him. Boyd feinted left, and Erica right, as they narrowly avoided the sharp end of Deucalion's cane slamming into the ground. Erica charged at her enemy, gripping the back of his neck as he rounded about and grabbed her hand, snapping the bone and throwing her against the wall. She screamed in pain as Boyd came to her rescue, shoving a large patient bed into the attacker's stomach.

The Alpha pushed the bed out of the way and grabbed Boyd by his neck, his claws piercing the flesh of his skin. The Beta shouted in pain, and he lifted his arm just in time to grip Deucalion's arm, and sink his claws an inch deep, ripping the skin and flesh from his forearm. The Alpha screeched in pain as he dropped Boyd to the ground, clutching his arm in agony. Erica swooped in from behind and punched him in the face, her other hand grabbing his throat and stabbing his skin with her claws.

The Alpha gained enough strength to grab her throat as well, and lift her off the ground until Boyd tackled him to the floor. Boyd bit down on Deucalion's shoulder, his fangs digging deeper and deeper into his flesh, and slid him up the wall, pinning him by the stomach. The Alpha grunted in pain, spitting fresh blood into Boyd's face. Erica ran in from behind, Deucalion's cane in hand. She shoved it into The Alpha's stomach, pinning him to the wall, and smirking when he screamed in pain. They both stepped back and admired their macabre crucifixion, as Deucalion grunted and grabbed the end of his cane, ripping it out from his stomach and throwing it to the ground. He coughed and smiled back at them, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth and making his eyes burn crimson with rage.

"Time to play." he said, stalking towards his targets.

Peter and Cora tried pinning Ennis to the ground, and have Derek stab him through the sides, but the giant wolf disagreed, as it bucked and flailed to get them off. The crazed Alpha got onto it's four legs, and tackled Derek into the wall, his teeth sinking into the other Alpha's stomach. Peter stabbed Ennis in the backside of the tail area with his claws and dragged the wolf back, stabbing it repeatedly.

"Peter!" Cora yelled, charging to help her uncle. She grabbed a hold of his fur and yanked it away from Peter, ripping it from Ennis' skin. Ennis bucked in pain and was able to grab a hold of Cora's arm, biting into it and dragging her across the floor. He threw her onto the ground and slammed his large paw down onto her stomach. His black beady eyes stared into Cora's amber eyes, as he bit down onto her neck, ripping the skin away. Her pupils dilated, and blood gushed from the wound, as her body lay lifeless under the weight of the giant wolf.

Everything seemed to stop, as Peter and Derek froze in place. They stared into the eyes of the Alpha that killed their last remaining family member, and dropped to the floor in despair, the pain from Cora's death sinking in. Ennis's wolf form licked it's fangs as if smiling sadistically.

Derek gained the composure he didn't know he had, and roared very loudly, the walls and ceiling vibrating with rage. His eyes began to glow red, a darker red than the normal color of crimson. He dropped to the floor, screaming in pain and agony, as his body began to bulge and expand. His legs snapped back, and grew larger and bulkier, black fur growing in every form of body part he had. His arms grew more muscled, the fur gaining over his biceps and he stood on his hind legs. His face began to contort and his ears grew pointier and pointier, similar to those of an elf, and his mouth and nose formed into a large sharp toothed snout, as Derek transformed into the werewolf people had imagined in movies.

The large werewolf that stood before Ennis was nothing he had ever seen before. Derek's claws were sharper than ever and he roared loudly in the other Alpha's direction. He grabbed Ennis by the throat and shoved him into the wall, sinking down onto his shoulder at the area where his collarbone meets the body, and ripped it straight off of Ennis himself, chucking the wolf leg out of the way, and shoving his clawed arm into Ennis's chest and ripping out his heart, that was still currently beating.

Derek crushed the heart in his hands, and grabbed the other Alpha by the snout, and ripping it off as well, shoving the dead wolf body into the ground, crushing it's limbs in fury and anger. The giant werewolf started to shout and roar, as Peter looked in absolute awe and fear. The creature fell to the floor on all fours as it began to convulse and deform back into Derek's human form, as Derek stood on the floor crying and screaming, clutching Cora's body in his arms. Peter walked over to his family members and dropped to the floor in pain and agony, tears flowing as well, as mourned the loss of his niece.

Stiles ran to the hospital entrance as Natalie, Isaac, Scott and Jackson walked through to the entrance. Stiles ran over to them and hugged Scott tightly, as he told him how glad he was that he had arrived.

"Where's everyone else?" Isaac asked, walking past him to look into the halls.

"Derek, Cora and Peter were fighting Ennis in the surgery room.. I hope everything's fine.. I heard this really loud like.. roar or something and it's like nothing I've ever heard before.. Scott, your mom's in the supply closet on the third floor hiding.. hopefully none of the Alpha's saw me hide her in there. Where's everyone else?" Stiles replied.

"Lydia, Allison and the other wolves are in town keeping everyone else safe.." Jackson said, examining the halls with Isaac.

"Where's Erica and Boyd?" Natalie asked.

"Fighting Deucalion and Elena. I wanted to stay and help but Erica made me leave.. I hope they can take Elena and the other guy." he said.

"You don't have to worry about that.. Cuz' I want you all to myself Stiles." said a voice from behind them. The form of Elena walking towards them. "You killed my pack.. all of you. You killed my chances of finding somewhere safe for wolves to live. All of you pathetic little bitches just wouldn't stop messing up everything.. But I'll see to it that I have each and everyone of your heads on a damn stick!"

Jackson was the first to charge at her, as she pounced into the air and exploded into her glossy white wolf form. Jackson connected his fists with her jaws, and wrapped his arms around her neck, the years of wrestling finally paying off. He choked her with his muscled arms and roared in fury as Scott joined into help him. He kicked at Elena's stomach and shouted at the others.

"Go find Derek and the others! Me and Jackson can take care of her!" he shouted, kicking Elena in the ribcage.

Isaac and Natalie grabbed Stiles and ran off in the direction nearest to them, running through every corridor, trying their hardest to ignore the sounds of the fight being held behind them. Scott roared in fury as he punched Elena in the snout, knocking some of her teeth out. Elena managed to swipe her paw against Jackson's face, allowing him to let go of her in time for her to escape the grasp.

Scott managed to tackle her once more as she bit down on his shoulder and threw him towards Jackson, knocking the other boy into the jock. They both groaned in pain and managed to stand up, dusting themselves off. Elena growled, daring them to charge again as her black eyes turned red, as she ran forward knocking into both boys head on. Scott reached around and grabbed her by the neck as he lassoed himself onto her back. She bucked and flailed, trying to get the teen wolf off of her back, but by doing this, she created the perfect distraction for Jackson to run through and uppercut her in the jaw, sending her flying towards a wall.

The she wolf got to her four feet and shook off her pain, the anger and fury making her impervious to feeling any type of pain. She growled and turned the corner, running off in a different direction, leaving Jackson and Scott standing there in confusion. They both ran after her, running into the maze of hallways that surrounded them.

"Where the hell is she Scott?" Jackson asked, walking cautiously and looking through every corridor. He tuned into the sounds around him, listening for her heartbeat, which should be quickened from the fight, but heard nothing.

"She could be anywhere in here.." Scott said quietly, shooting glances through every door and window for each room, sniffing around for Elena's scent. He learned from Derek that scenting another enemy out can help you win a fight.

"I have an idea." Jackson whispered, "Stay behind me, watch my back, I watch yours, there's only two ways she can come out of here, and it's either from behind us, or in front of us."

Scott nodded and stood behind Jackson, eyeing the hallway closely. The only heartbeats they heard were their own, and the only scents they could catch were their own, and Scot was terrified. He didn't know where she was, and neither did Jackson. Elena had the element of surprise, and with the right strategy, she could take them both out in an instant.

"You both, have become a real pain my ass." Elena's voice said.

Scott and Jackson looked around wildly, as her voiced seemed to come out of nowhere. They both eyed the halls but found nothing as her voice began to speak again.

"You, and your idiot pack have been nothing but a major pain in my ass. All I wanted was somewhere safe for werewolves, but you bitches didn't even appreciate that. You know Jackson, I was actually gonna recruit you.. you had potential.. what with your birth father killing my family." she said.

"What?" Jackson asked.

"Oh.. that's right.. no one ever told you?" Elena chuckled, "Your bastard father killed my family one full moon.. and my original plan was to kill you, but then I heard about your little lizard alter-ego and thought to myself, 'why not recruit the poor kid?', but it's clear you took your path already. I'm gonna slit your eyelids in half so you don't blink when I stab you in the face… You'll die by my hand Jackson.. I promise you that."

With a loud sound, the air vent above them broke and Elena came crashing down, in human form, clad in her leather jacket and black tights. Her long hair was now pulled back into a ponytail, and her claws were extended. Jackson looked at her with rage and felt his claws extend. His eyes shined a lightning blue, and he charged at her, tackling her to the ground, and punching her in the face over and over again. Elena laughed hysterically as Jackson kept punching away, the claws swiping her face repeatedly.

"Is that all you got wolf boy?" she laughed, shoving him off of her. Scott grabbed her by the hands and threw her towards the wall, but as she whipped back, her sharp high heels sliced Scott's face and arm, as she landed on both of her feet.

She walked over to Scott's body, and grabbed his arm, snapping the bones within his body. He screamed in agony as she grabbed his other arm, breaking the bones again by twisting his arm in a disturbing manner. She then stepped on Scott's leg, her heel digging into his skin and flesh, as she laughed with amusement. She heard a loud shrill roar, and then a hiss, as Jackson fell to the ground and hissed again, his body convulsing with pain. His eyes shined bright blue, but his pupils then slit, reptilian eyes taking over, and scales snaking across his skin.

Elena let Scott go, and walked over to him, and stared in wonder. "Impossible.. You're.. You're a hybrid.. but how?"

Jackson screeched in pain, as a tail grew from his lower back, but at the end of his tail, a sharp thorny spike was now showing. The Kanima hissed and roared, it's claws forming and dripping with venom. He grabbed Elena's foot with his tail, and dragged her to the floor, as he pierced her skin with his venomous claws.

Elena felt the venom run through her body, as each one of her limbs shut down. The paralyzation was too much, as she tried her best to move and escape but couldn't. Jackson crawled in front of her, staring into her eyes. He looked towards Scott, who was lying in pain, and watching him in shock. Jackson could sense Scott healing, and he did the only thing his mind could come up with. His tail wrapped around Elena's throat, and he climbed on to the ceiling,, dangling her in mid air.

"Do it…" he said, in a raspy voice. He gestured Scott to get up and fight Elena while he had the chance. "Finish her.."

Scott nodded, and mustered the strength to get up and run towards Elena, his claws outstretched, and pure rage filling his mind. He swiped across her stomach with enough force to rip it open, as he intestines and inner organs spewing towards the ground. She let out one final shriek of horrified pain, and her eyes closed. Jackson let go of the Alpha, and her body dropped to the floor with a loud thud.

The Kanima fell to the ground as well, as it transformed back into Jackson's human form. He fell into Scott's arms as he heaved in fatigue. "You're gonna be alright Jackson.. You saved my life man.."

"Don't get used to it." Jackson chuckled, "Come on, help me up so we can find the others."

Scott lifted Jackson up and hoisted him onto his shoulders as he went to find the rest of his pack.

Erica was slammed into the wall, her head knocking back with searing pain as Deucalion dragged her against the wall itself, smearing her around like a paint brush. Boyd was in the corner unconscious and unaware of what was happening to his mate. Erica screamed in pain, as Deucalion chuckled.

"You pathetic little thing.. you can't stand a chance against me." he said, as Erica spit in his face.

"Screw you!" she screamed, as he backhanded her across the face. The Alpha threw her towards the wall and was dragged by his hair, and punched from behind as he whipped around to face his new enemy. Natalie stood there, clutching a full head of his hair in her hand and chuckling.

He charged at her, but before he could get to her, Isaac appeared from behind and kicked him hard in the shin, snapping his femur in half. He knelt down on one knee in pain and agony, as Natalie grabbed one arm, and Isaac the other, whilst Stiles grabbed Deucalion's face smiling sadistically. They all counted to three, and pulled hard, as they ripped his two arms and head from his body, blood painting the walls around them.

Erica sighed in relief as she pulled her body, dragging it across the floor towards her boyfriend. She tugged at his jacket and leant her head on his shoulder as he came to, staring at her eyes. "You're okay.." she said weakly, rubbing his cheek.

"I should've been protecting you.." he replied, clutching her hand, "I'm so sorry.. I .. I love you."

"I love you too Boyd.. rest for now.. everything's all over." she said, closing her eyes.

Isaac ran over to her side, and helped her up onto a patient bed, as Natalie did the same for Boyd. They wheeled them into the operation room, and left them there for safety, as they went to find Derek and his family.

Stiles rounded the corner and saw Derek carrying a limp female body, with Peter at his side looking equally dim. Deaton and Morell came from around the corner with medic packs and other items, followed by Scott and Jackson. They took in Derek's emotion, pain.. despair.. and agony.

Cora was dead, just a few hours after Derek had desperately saved her. Stiles ran over to Derek, as his mate began to sob uncontrollably. Stiles put his arms around Derek and held him tight. "It'll be okay Derek.. It'll be okay.. Come on, put her down.."

Derek gently laid Cora on the ground, and pushed her hair back behind her ear. He sniffed and took in her scent for the last time, kissing her forehead. "I love you Cora.. I love you."

Morrell pulled Stiles to the side and handed him his mother's book. "Stiles.. if it's about survival.. isn't a little agony worth it?"

"Huh?" he asked confusedly.

"The spell.. you know what to do." she replied, walking towards the operation room where Erica and Boyd were resting. Stiles nodded and walked to Cora's body. He flipped through the pages, and ran through the text, looking for the correct spell.

"W-What are you doing?" Derek asked, looking at Stiles with confusion.

Stiles grabbed Derek's hand, and held it tight. "Do you love me?"

Derek nodded.

"Do you trust me?"

Derek nodded, and Stiles grabbed his face, and pulled him into a deep and passionate kiss.

"Then trust me." he said.

Derek nodded once more, and let Stiles do his job. He put a hand over Cora's wound, and the other over her heart. He closed his eyes, and then opened them again, his onyx colored eyes replacing his original honey ones. He concentrated on his heartbeat, and his aura, the energy passing through him, and onto Cora.

"Date ei vitam, illam vim flatus. Animae resurgent, et reducent eam in terram. Cum potestate in me dic consurge!"he shouted, as a bright light shot out of his hands and onto Cora's wounds and body. The light blinded everyone in the room, as Stiles screamed in pain and agony, tearing up and taking Cora's pain as his own.

The light flashed once, and Cora shot up, gasping for air. Her eyes shone amber and she dropped again, breathing heavily and deeply. Derek grasped his sister, holding her tightly and warmly. She hugged him back, and started to cry and sob, telling him how sorry she was for being so stupid. He assured her that she was only trying to protect him, and that it was okay. He looked as Stiles and said a silent thank you, as Stiles winked and blew him a kiss.

"It seems.. it seems like we saved everyone." Deaton stated, smiling.

"We did.." Scott said, "Now all we have to do is -"

"Fix this place up." Jackson finished, chuckling.

Stiles took Derek's hand, and rested his head on his shoulder, kissing it and smiling. "As long as we're a family, a pack.. as long as we're one.. together.. we'll do this. I know we can."

Scott moved forward and put his hand in front of him, "To Family."

Deaton and Morrell put their hands in as well, "To Family."

Cora and Jackson joined them, "To Family."

Stiles and Derek clasped hands, and put them at the top of the pile, "To Family."

The two shared one more kissed, and stared off into the distance, as the Battle for Beacon Hills was finally over.

-TWO WEEKS LATER-

The pack all gathered around the table for dinner, as they all shared their Thanksgiving meal. Jackson and Lydia had donated money into renovating Derek's house, making it look newer and more modern than it did in the past. The pack were all laughing with joy, and talking about their Ski Trip in December, and what the plans for Christmas were. Derek never picture the pack being as close as they were now, seeing as each one of them hated the other just month's ago.

"Something wrong?" Stiles asked, hugging Derek from behind.

"No.. I'm just proud.. of everything we've done." He replied, taking Stiles into his arms and kissing him gently.

"I told you.. we could do this. As a pack.. I mean together, we can do anything.." he said, leaning into Derek's embrace. "I still don't know how I pulled off that spell though.. I mean, wiping everyone in town's minds apart from ours? Epic."

"Seriously.." Derek said, rolling his eyes. Stiles had managed to chant an incantation that would wipe out the memories of Werewolves from the town member's minds, and it worked, much to his dismay. He still wanted his Dad to know about him, about what he was doing, about what he was.. but he'd figure he could tell him again sometime.

Lydia was walking towards the table with the bowl of salad, laughing at one of Jackson's many failed attempts at sneaking a piece of lettuce from the bowl. She walked passed the window nearest to the table, and took a glance outside, the autumn leaves now falling from the trees meaning the approach of winter. She watched each leaf fall, and smiled, finally realizing that things were back to normal. Well, as normal as being in a werewolf pack could be. She watched a pink flower from one of the trees fall as well, but before it hit the ground, the petals lit up in flames.

She gasped as she took notice of the forest on fire, burning each tree down in a spewing array of flaming insanity. She could almost feel the heat on her skin as the window broke into pieces, and the screams of thousands of people could be heard. She could almost swear that the Thanksgiving dinner smell that surrounded her before was now masked with the aroma of burning, and decaying flesh. She caught sight of a gigantic beast rising from the flames, it's sharp toothed grin and deformed head laughing maniacally as people screamed in fear. She dropped the bowl of lettuce as it broke onto the ground, the pack looking before her in bewilderment.

"Lydia.. what's wrong?" Allison asked, as she came near her.

Lydia blinked and the horrific sight before was gone, now replaced by the serene scene she saw before. She felt a lonely tear escape from her right eye.

"Lydia.. what did you see?" asked Jackson, as he came up to her and held her hand. She looked out in horror as she turned towards her pack, looking at the wondering faces.

How could she explain the sight she saw? How could she explain the vision that laid itself before here just seconds ago? She couldn't ruin this peaceful moment.. not after everything they had been through in the last couple of month, so she simply replied, "Nothing.. I saw nothing."
