I walked up the front steps of school with my eyes on the ground. Its not that I'm bad at school I'm actually really good. School is just another day I have to see him and not be able to talk to him. Why would he want to talk to me? I'm just that sick girl whose family left her.
" Don't think too hard." I looked up to see it was just Isaac.
" Hey are you ok? I heard about your dad." I said with a concerned voice.
" Yea better than ok actually," He said with a smug look on his face. He seamed different I couldn't figure out what... OH MY GOD THAT STUPID BUTTMUNCHER!
" Oh god please tell me you didn't." I begged and he sent me a cocky smile. " Isaac have you seen any werewolf movie ever! It never ends well!" I whisper yelled not wanting anyone to overhear.
" Ells calm down its fine, I feel better than I have in years. I mean the only real thing to worry about is the Argents." He said more to himself.
" The Argents? Like Allison?" I asked confused.
" Yeah her and her family are hunters." He said as if it was nothing.
"But wait didn't you say Scott was one too?" He nodded his head." Soo we go to school with a girl whose family kills werewolf's, including you by the way, and she is dating a werewolf ... well actually that explains why they are trying to hide it." I started ranting
"Yea ok look I have to go to morning lacrosse practice. Please just tell me you're not mad at me." He said looking at me with those damn eyes again.
"Fine! Just be careful ok? Your all I have left." I said in a small, vulnerable voice.
He pulled me into a bear hug and I buried my face in his chest. "I'll be fine ok? I wont leave you." He said and I nodded.
" You better get ready for practice before coach starts yelling" I said with a smile.
He laughed and responded " You and I both know he will end up yelling anyway." He then kissed my cheek and I smiled before heading to the field.
"Let's go line up!" I heard coach say as he walked on the field.
I immediately saw Isaac and he sent me a wink and I rolled my eyes but smiled at him. Scott approached the goalie net which confused me, he never played goalie. When the whistle went off Scott went into full on attack mode. Yeah I may not know a lot about lacrosse but I am pretty certain you are required to stay in the net. He did this to every person , even Danny but that was actually pretty funny to watch. When it was Isaacs turn I was at the edge of my seat, this was not going to end well. The two of them charged each other both winding up in a fighting stance with glowing eyes. No one else seemed to notice but I did. Yep he's an idiot. Then the sheriff showed up and took him away. I ran to the field to get more information. I ran up to Scott and Stiles. Normally I would be nervous about talking to him but I had no choice. This was about Isaac not me. " Why are they taking him?" I asked Scott.
"Your Ellie right? His best friend?" Stiles asked looking at me.
For a second I got butterflies in my stomach knowing he cared enough to learn my name. " Yea and you didn't answer my question. Why are they taking him?" I said in a firmer voice. I'm usually not this aggressive at people but he is all I have left.
The two of them shared a look before Scott answered." They think he killed his father."
" Alright well I have to find a way to get him out." I said and started walking toward the police car. Stiles grabbed my wrist before I could go anywhere and its like I was touched but electricity. I had to focus, Isaac couldn't stay in a holding cell, tonight was a full moon, and every interpretation of werewolf stories that wasn't a good thing." Let go." I said calmly.
"There is so much more to this then you know." Scott said trying to convince me.
" You and I both know that he can't stay in that holding cell, at least not tonight." I said letting him know that I am just as aware as he is. Him and Stiles shared a look of panic." He's my best friend you seriously think he wouldn't tell me."
" How much exactly did he tell you?" Stiles asked cautiously.
" Everything , the hunters, building a pack, Derek." A look of anger crossed Scott's face." I'm guessing you know the guy."
" Oh yea we go way back." Stiles said sarcastically.
" Look if you guys are going to get him out I want to help." I said firmly. The two of them shared another look, seriously that's like the 5th time they did that, then nodded at me.
I was at my locker thinking about all they told me. I was right Derek is doing this for power. The thought that keeps running through my head is Stiles. The way he looked at me. The way he said my name. It was like a dream. The final bell rang signaling I was late for chemistry, fantastic. I might as well take my time I'm gunna get detention anyway. When I walked in Mr. Harris got hit with a paper ball. I tried so hard not to laugh.
"Who in the hell did that?" He asked angrily. I looked over at Scott and Stiles pointing at each other and this time I actually did laugh. Mr. Harris turned his glare to me " The three of you to the principals office!"
The three of us sat in the chairs waiting to see the principal. I wasn't too worried about it, its not like I have parents to care. When the sheriff came out Stiles hid behind a magazine making me smile.
" Hello Scott." He said with an edge to his voice. When he turned to me he asked," Oh hey Ellie." I waved awkwardly. It was no surprise he knew me in a small town like Beacon Hills you don't meet too many emancipated girls with leukemia. He walked away before saying anything and I was glad, it's not really something I want them to know.
An old looking guy with white hair stepped out and said " Come on in."
We entered and as I glanced at his desk I saw his name, Argent. Oh great.
He sat down and picked up some files "Scott McCall academically not the most accomplished, but I see you have become quite the star athlete. Mr. Stilinski perfect grades but little to no extracurricular activities, maybe you should try lacrosse." He said.
" Well actually-" Stiles started but was cut off.
"And Elinore James or do you go by Ellie." I nodded hesitantly." Perfect grades, too bad you don't have anyone to impress." I glared at him as Scott and Stiles looked confused." Such a sad tale having your parents leave when you need them most. Leaving you with just your brother who also left to go to college."
I looked down on the verge of tears when someone grabbed my hand. I looked up to see it was Stiles.
" Hold on McCall you were the Scott that was dating my granddaughter." Gerard stated.
"We were dating, but not any more, not seeing each other or doing anything with each other." Scott said hastily in a panic I smiled at.
"Relax Scott you look like you are about to crack a cyanide pill with your teeth." He said.
"Just a bad break up." Scott lied.
" I'm sorry to hear that you seen like a nice kid. Now I don't want you guys to think of me as the enemy." He said. Oh the irony.
"Is that so?" Stiles quipped and I elbowed him in the stomach.
" But I have to support my teachers so who is willing to take the fall for this?" He asked.
" Um sorry but I just walked in when this happened so technically-" He cut me off. RUDE!
"So then you were tardy." He said. I looked down admitting defeat. " So which one is going to stay." We all looked at Stiles and he groaned knowing he was staying. I sent him an apologetic smile.
Scott and I ran outside to see Isaac in the back of a police car. I gave him a small smile saying we will help him he nodded in understanding. After it pulled away a black Camaro pulled up.
"Get in." He ordered.
" Are you serious? You did that that's your fault!" Scott said.
" I know now help me fix it." He said getting frustrated.
"I got a better idea I'm gunna get a lawyer because a lawyer has a chance of getting him out before the full moon." Scott replied also frustrated.
"Not when they do a real sweep of the house. Whatever Jackson told the cops what's in the house is worse." replied Derek.
I put two and two together and said," Guessing that's Derek." Scott nodded and Derek turned his attention to me.
" Your Ellie right?" I nodded." Isaac told me about you, I can help you in more ways then one." He said persuasively.
"Just help me help him." I said in a firm tone as me and Scott approached his car. When we got to Isaac's house I was over flooded with memories of helping him. cleaning his wounds, comforting him. As Derek lead Scott to the basement I stopped. They looked at me curiously. " I already know what's down there I don't want to go again. Derek nodded in understanding and kept going.
When they came back up Scott gave me a look telling me he didn't know what to say I smiled and nodded letting him know I understood.
"Ok stiles is going to come and bring you to the police station with Derek I have to stay here." I was about to ask why when I remembered he is a werewolf too and this is only his 3rd full moon.
Derek and I headed to the front porch to wait for Stiles. " So leukemia huh?" He asked with a knowing look.
" How did you-" I started but he cut me off.
"Your scent, it gives off feelings, emotions, illnesses..." He trailed off to prove his point.
"What about it?" I asked harshly.
"What if I told you-" He was cut off by the sound of Stiles's horn. I let out a sigh of relief and got in the car.
When we got to the station Stiles explained his plan. It was a good plan very thought out and I'm guessing it wasn't his first time breaking the law. After a lot of bickering it was decided that Derek go in and distract her. He was actually quite charming when he tried to be. When we got to the room with the key it wasn't there. Out of nowhere a cop came and dragged us to another room with an open cell. He was just about to hit me when Isaac came out. Well it was sort of Isaac, He was a wolf. He knocked the officer out and when he started heading toward us I whispered," Isaac please." He looked at me and for a moment he recognized me then he saw stiles and was about to go after him. Out of nowhere Derek popped up and roared. Isaac then submitted in a corner.
"How did you do that?" Stiles asked Derek.
"I'm the alpha." He said cockily and I rolled my eyes.
That night when I was sleeping I heard a noise down stairs. I hesitantly went down to see Isaac.
"What are you doing here?" I asked and pulled him into a hug. He hugged back tightly.
"I needed to see you." He said ." Ellie I'm gunna be extremely selfish ask you to do something you wont like."
"What is it?" I asked hesitantly.
"Take the bite." Derek said walking from the shadows.
"Please I know you don't have much time left and I cant loose you." He begged
I looked at Isaac. The only person to stay. To really care about me. I am 16 years old, I don't want to die. I silently nodded and Derek came up and bit my arm.
