Chapter 2: Second Chance at First Line
Scott walks in the locker room, in front of his locker, pulls off his equipment strip from his shirt and leans against the lockers, "Did you apologize to Allison?" Stiles asks him. "Yeah." Scott answers, "So, is she giving you a second chance?" he asks. "Yeah." Scott answers, "Yeah alright, so everything good then." Stiles states, going to walk away. "No." Scott stops him. "No?" Stiles asks him, "Remember the hunters, her dad is one of them." Scott informs him, "Her dad?" Stiles states.
"Shot my sister..." Scott mumbles, "Allison's father?" Stiles asks, "With a crossbow..." Scott mumbles again, progressing what happen last night. Stiles pause for a moment, "Allison's father?" Stiles asks again, "Yes, her father!" Scott shouts at him. "Oh my god." Scott panics. "Oh my God." Scott whines, Stiles runs up to him and pats his cheek, "Hey Scott, you alright? He didn't recognize you guys, right?" Stiles asks him. "No no no, I don't think so." Scott tells him, "Does she know about him?" Stiles asks him.
"I... I don't know, what if she tells him. He'll kill me man." Scott whines. "Scott, focus on Lacrosse. Here, Scott here take, and focus on Lacrosse for now. Okay? That's all you got to do, yeah." Stiles tells him, "Here we go." Stiles pats his shoulder as Scott mumbles Lacrosse.

Alice sat on the bench, watching the practice take place, "Let's go! One on one top!" Coach shouts. "Jackson, take a long stick today." Coach informs him, Jackson nods and grabs a long stick. Alice growls at Jackson, knowing that he was going to be in the goalie defender spot.
"McCall, what are you waiting for?" Coach shouts out to Scott. Alice looks over to her brother, as he started, he ran up to the goal, but Jackson shove him to the ground. "Hey McCall!" Coach laughs at him, "You still want to be first line?" Jackson smirks down at him, Alice growls even deeper.
As Scott stood up and hunch over, "My grandma can move faster than that and she's dead. Can you move faster then the lifeless corpse of my dead grandmother?" Coach asks him. "Yes Coach." Scott mumbles glaring at the smirking Jackson, "I can't hear you." Coach shouts. "Yes Coach." he answers louder as his eyes were glowing, "Then do it again, McCall's gonna do it again." Coach tells everyone. Alice felt her anger for Jackson raise even higher, making her eyes glow yellow. Scott walks back to the front of the line, Alice sat straight in her seat, still glaring at Jackson and her eyes still glowing. Scott then took off, he ran for Jackson and whams into him at full force, knocking him to the ground.
Jackson held his wounded shoulder, as Scott grips his head and fell to his knees, Stiles ran out to him and kneels down beside him. Alice did the same from the bleachers, "Scott! Scott, you okay?" Stiles asks him, "I can't control it, Stiles. It's happening." Scott mumbles to him. "What? Right here? Now?" Stiles asks him.
"Same here." Alice mumbles, "Come on, get up. Come on. Come on." Stiles and Alice helps him up to his feet, as they ran to the locker rooms, the familiar scent of colonel reach her nose, she looks over and saw Derek standing there away from the area, she felt herself calm down and her eyes turn back to light brown and they stumble into the locker room. "Come on, here we go." Stiles tells him, Scott throws his gloves to the ground as he groans, and he leans against the wall. "Scott, Scott. Breath." Alice tells him, "Get away from me!" Scott yells at the two, Alice shot her feet and pulls Stiles away from Scott. "Run go!" she pulls him along as Scott chases after them, Alice then wolf out and attacks Scott and kept him from hurting Stiles, they fought on top of the lockers and climb into the pillars. "Calm down Scott, I don't want to hurt you." Alice growls at him, Scott just growls at her.
"Fine, you ask for it." she shot out at him, sending both of them to the ground. Stiles stumbles to the door as Alice grips his throat and slams Scott against the locker and then roars in his face, making Stiles shake with fear and Scott to turn back to his human self. Alice lets out a breath of relief, letting him go. Scott stumbles against the bench as Alice backs away from him, press her back against the wall and slides down the wall. Stiles sat down next to her.
She watches Scott pull off his helmet off his head, "Stiles? Ally?" He calls out to them, as he looks at them. "What happen?" he asks him, Stiles pulls off his gloves, "You tried to kill us, and your sister kept you from killing me." he tells him, getting off the floor next to Alice and kneels down in front of Scott.
"It's like I told you before, it the anger, it's your pulse rising. It's a trigger." Stiles informs him, "That's Lacrosse, it's a pretty violent game if you hadn't pretty much notice." Scott tells him, "Well it's going to end up more violent if you kill someone on the field, you can't play Saturday, you're going to have to get out of the game." Stiles tells him.
"But I'm first line." Scott complains, Alice chuckles. They look at her, "Not anymore Scott." she states as she shifts back to human.
~8~8~8~
Later that night, Scott stumbles into his room, set down his stuff and collapse on his bed. Alice walks in, walks to his bed and crawls on the other side next to him. "You ok?" she asks him, "No." Scott answers. She sighs and leans against his shoulder, "Sorry you can't play Saturday." she mumbles to him. "Thanks sis, quick question." he states, "Yeah." She answers, "How did you control your wolf?" he asks her. Alice pauses for a moment, she thinks back to the moment she shifted. "I don't know, I just did." she tells him. He sighs, "Alright I was just wondering." he mumbles and plops his head against his bed. Then someone knocks on the wall, Scott and Alice look over and saw Melissa.
"Hey." she greets them, "Hi, mum." Alice greets her back. "Late shift again for me. But I'm taking Saturday off to came to your first game." she informs, "No, mom you can't." Scott tries to stop his mother.
"Oh, no. I can and I will. Come on, one shift isn't going to break us completely." she tells him as Alice sighs. "What's wrong with your eyes?" she asks, Scott jump up nervously as Alice looks over at him nervously, "You look like you haven't slept in days." she states, crossing her arms. "Oh, uh, it's nothing. Just stress." Scott tells her.
"Just Stress? Nothing else?" she asks, Scott nods. "Just homework." Scott adds. "I mean, it's not like your on drugs or anything, right?" she asks him, Alice buries her face into Scott's covers, trying not to laugh. "Right now?" Scott asks, trying to ignore Alice. "Right now? I'm sorry, what do you mean, right now? Have you ever taken drugs?" she questions him, "Have you?" Scott asks her. Then Alice burst with laughter, rolling on her back, Melissa gave him a glare. "Get some sleep." she tells him and walks out of the room.
Scott looks at his sister as she sent him a smile, "I hate you." he mumbles, plopping back on his bed. She giggles, rolls and lead her head on his shoulder, "You love me." she giggles, making Scott chuckle.
Seconds later, Scott's video chat starts ringing, Scott got up from his bed as Alice sat at the ledge of the bed, Scott answers the call; Stiles points a toy gun at his screen as Scott sat down in his chair, the Stiles pulls his gun away. "So what did you find out?" Scott asks him, "Well it's bad, Jackson's got a separated shoulder." Stiles informs him.
"Because of me?" Scott asks, "Well, he was asking for it." Alice throws in. "Exactly, he's a tool, even your sister knows." Stiles states. "Hell yeah I do." she throws in, Scott looks at her. She held her hands up in defense, then he turns back to Stiles. "Is he going to play?" Scott asks. "Well, they don't know yet. Now they're just counting on you for Saturday." Stiles states.
Scott sighs as Alice buries her face into her hands, "Great, just great." she muffles. Stiles then looks at Scott's screen, seeing something, Alice raise her head as she smelled something familiar, she slowly looks up and saw Derek standing there. He looks down at her, place his finger to his lips, telling her to stay quiet. She nods and took a relaxing breath, "What?" Scott asks Stiles. Stiles type something then the screen freezes, "It look like what? Come on, damn it." Scott growls and the screen caught up, 'Somebody is behind you' Stiles types. Scott widen his screen and saw someone was standing behind him.
He turns around, Derek lunches himself forward, grabs Scott by his sweatshirt and shoves him face first into the wall, "I saw you on the field." Derek states. "What are you talking about?" Scott asks as Alice shot up, eyes glowing. "Ally, stay out of this." Scott tells her. She stay glue in her tracks, "I saw you shifted in front of them, your sister almost shifted! If they find out what you are, they found out about me. About all of us. And it's just not the hunters that will come after us. Everyone will." Derek warns him.
"They didn't see anything, I swear Derek!" Alice tells him, he looks at her as her eyes stop glowing, "And they won't! Because if your brother play that game on Saturday, I'll kill him myself." he promises her, she then watches him jump out of the window.
Scott turns around, leans over, panting. Alice walks to him and wrap her arms around his neck, giving him comfort and he wrap his arms around her, taking her offer.
~8~8~8~
Alice was standing outside the boy's Locker as Scott was talking with Coach. What do you mean, you can't play the game tomorrow night?" Coach asks him as they walk into Coach's office, "I mean I can't play tomorrow night." Scott tells him after he closes the door, "You mean you can't wait to play tomorrow." Coach tries to rephrase his sentence, Scott sighs in annoyance. "No, Coach, I can't play tomorrow night." Scott tries to get it through his head. "I'm not following." Coach tells him, sitting on the edge of his desk, arms cross.
"Umm... I have some personal... issues?" Scott tries to tell his coach why he can't play without including the fact that he and his sister are werewolves, they'll kill someone if anger and Derek will kill Scott if he plays, "Is it a girl?" Coach asks, "No." Scott answers, "Is it a boy?" Coach asks. "No." Scott answers again. "Our goalie, Danny is gay." He states.
"Yeah I know Coach. But that's not it" Scott tries again, "Don't you think Danny is a good looking guy?" Coach asks him. "I think he's good looking, but I like girls. But that's not it anyway, I- I..." Scott tries to tell him. "Is it drugs? Are you doing meth?" Coach throws a question at him, Scott rolls his eyes as he closes them, "You know my brother was addicted to meth. You should of seen what it did to his teeth, they were all cracked and rotten. It was disgusting." Coach tells him, "My god, what happen to him?" Scott asks. "He got veneer." he answers him.
"Is that what this is about? You're afraid of getting hurt, McCall?" Coach asks him, "No, I'm... having some, issues dealing with... aggression." Scott tells him, trying to remain calm, "Well, here's the good news, that's why you play Lacrosse. Problem solved." Coach states.
"Coach, I can't play the game tomorrow night." Scott tries to convince him. "Listen McCall, part of playing first line is taking on the responsibly of being first line. And if you can shoulder that responsibly, then you can go back to the bench until you're ready." Coach informs him, Scott looks at him in shock.
"If I don't play the game, you'll take me off of first line?" Scott sums up. "McCall, play the game." Coach warns him; Alice sighs, leans against the wall, and gently bang her against the wall. "Great just great." she mumbles. Not only is Scott being threaten to stop play by Derek, he is now being warned if he doesn't play, he'll get pull of first line and place on the bench, Alice knew that it would break his heart, Alice rubs her forehead as Scott walks out of the locker room.
"Now I can't tell which is worse, being threaten by Derek if you play or being threaten by Coach." Alice tells him, Scott looks at her and sighs.
"I don't know what to do." Scott whines, she pats his shoulder, "We'll figure something out." she tells him, "By "We" you mean Stiles?" Scott smirks at her, she smirks back at him. "You know me so well." she chuckles. Then Scott's phone rings, he pulls out his phone and looks at the text message, 'Got the night off! Coming to see you play! So excited!' the text was from their mother, Alice sighs "Hey." Allison catches the McCall twin's attention. "Hey." Scott smiles back, "Busy?" she asks him, "No, it's my mom, she's nothing." Scott states, Both Allison and Alice look at him in dis-believe. "I mean it's nothing, never busy for you." Scott quickly tries to make a save, Alice could hear his heart jump with joy, she rolls her eyes and shook her head.
Allison smiles, "I like the sound of that." she laughs, "Later Scott, bye Allison." Alice parts from them, "Bye Ally, see you in class." he shouts after her, she waves her hand in response. "Have you two always been close?" Allison asks, Scott looks at her.
"Yeah, we're two minutes apart, always had each others back and been there when one of us needed someone." Scott informs her, Allison smiles at her, "So she's my best friend slash best little lovable sister." Scott sums up, Allison giggles. "Well, I'm running up to french class, but I wanted to tell you that I'm coming to see you play tomorrow." she tells him, "You are?" Scott asks her, "She is?" Alice whisper, loud enough for Scott's wolf ears to hear. "And we're all going out after wards, you, me, Lydia, and Jackson. It's going to be great." she tells him as Scott just looks at her.
"Tell Stiles and Alice to come, see you at lunch, I got to go." she tells him and took off, Scott watches her leave, "God." he mumbles and heard Alice sighs, "Well, this went from horrible to terrifyingly terrible." she groans, "Tell me about it." he mumbles and went to class. Alice went to go get something from her locker. And saw Allison open hers and found her jacket she lost the other night, Alice's eyes wonder to something peeking out from the corner, it was Derek with electric blue eyes and he reek of blood and dirt.
Alice's heart accelerated with excitement, as she press her forehead against the lockers with a bang, drawing Allison's attention, she saw Alice, Allison quickly tosses her coat in the locker, grabs her book, closes her locker and ran over to her. "Alice, are you okay?" she asks her, then the bell rang, making Alice jump. Alice looks at Allison, smiles and bangs her head against the locker again. Then looks at the corner and Derek was gone, Alice pants as she leans her head against the lockers.
"I'm fine, just had a moment." she tells her, "Do you need to go to the nurse or call your mom?" she asks, Alice shook her head. "I just need a minute." she tells her, she nods at her, Allison stood next to her, rubbing her back, her heart calms down. "Thank you." she states, and closes her locker. "Does this happen often?" Allison asks her. "Once or twice. Sorry, I didn't mean to hold you from class." Alice tells her.
"Nay, it's okay. I'll see you later. Hope you get better." Allison tells her, "Thanks." she mumbles and watch Allison walk away. "God, I love her shoes." Alice mumbles to herself and rushes to math class.
~8~8~8~
"Why is there a rumor going around that you're not playing tomorrow?" Lydia asks Scott as they were up front and writing the answers to problems on the chalk board, Alice arrive three minutes earlier, "Cause I'm sort of not." Scott tells her. "I think you sort of are." Lydia tells him, Scott looks at her, "Especially when you Brutally injured my boyfriend, by running into him." Lydia reminds him, "Had it coming." Alice whispers, Scott tries not to laughs.
"He brutally injured himself, by ramming into me." Scott shot back, getting tired of her attitude, she scoffs. And looks at him, "Jackson's going to play tomorrow, but he's not going to peak. And I refer my boyfriend at peak performance." She tells him as she checks Scott out, Alice growls to herself, gripping the ledge of her desk, digging her claws into the wood. "Ok." Scott mumbles, "I'm dating the captain of the winning Lacrosse team and if they started losing, I would be dating the captain of the losing Lacrosse team." Lydia states, she was starting to get on Alice's nerves as Lydia pressures her brother. "I don't date losers." she sums up, "Losing one game isn't going to kill anyone. Fact, why do you even save someone?" Scott mumbles.
"Fine, don't play. We'll properly win anyway. Then we'll go out, like we're planning, and I'll introduce Allison and Alice to all the hot players on the team." Lydia taunts him, Alice eyes flashes between yellow and light brown. Suddenly she focuses on Derek and found herself calm down. "And Scott McCall can stay home, and watch porn on his laptop. Then again, who would in their right mind would want to date your tomboy of a sister." she states, finishing the math question. She sets the chalk down, smirks at him, and went to walk back to her seat.
She then stumbles a little, making the class laughs, Alice smiles to herself as she quickly pulls her foot back under her chair, "Mister McCall, you haven't close to solving your problem." the teacher tells him Scott looks at the teacher, then at his sister, who shared his sympathy. He then turns back to the broad, "Tell me about it." he mumbles.
~8~8~8~
After math class, Scott and Alice put away their books and after the close their lockers and lock them up, Stiles place his arms under, Scott and Alice's shoulders. "What now?" Scott groans, as Stiles pulls them to a wall. "Tell what they're saying." Stiles asks them Alice and Scott look over at the principle and Stiles's dad who were talking, the teen wolves listen in on the conversation. "Can you hear them?" Stiles asks, Alice shush him, "I want everyone under the age of 18 in their home by 9:30 pm, we'd like to insensate the curfew effect immediately." Stiles's father tells him.
Alice and Scott look at Stiles, "Curfew cause of the body." she states, Stiles pats Scott's shoulder and stood straight, "Unbelievable. My dad is out looking for a rabid animal, while a jerk off, who actually kill a girl just hanging out, doing whatever he wants." Stiles states. Alice growls lowly at him, "Well you can't exactly tell your dad the truth about Derek." Scott tells him, "I can do something." He states, "Like what?" Alice asks of him. "Like find the other half of the body." Stiles tells her and took off.
"Are you kidding me?" she call after him, Scott sighs, then looks over at Allison, who was being introduce to a Lacrosse team member, they walk over to them, Lydia sent a glare at him and took of with the boy, "So Lydia's introducing you to everyone?" Alice asks her, "She is being unbelievably nice to me." Allison tells her.
"Why?" Scott asks, "Maybe she's get how being the new girl can suck." she tells him, he then looks at her jacket that was from the other night of the full moon, "Where did you get that?" he asks her. "My Jacket? It was in my locker. I think Lydia brought it back from the party, he has my combination-" Allison spoke. "Did he saw she brought it back or did somebody give her the jacket?" Scott asks again.
"Like who?" she asks, "Like Derek." Scott answers. "Your sister's boyfriend?" Allison asks, Alice felt her heart jump at Boyfriend, Scott looks at her, she looks at him and shrugs. "He's not her boyfriend, how much did he talk to you when he drove you home?" Scott question her, Alice place her hand on Allison's shoulder and glares at her brother and telling him to stop frightening her, with her eyes. "Not much at all." he answers, "What did you say?" Scott asks her, "I really got to get to class." she tells him moving away.
"Allison." Scott calls after her, "No, I really have to go." she states and disappeared, Alice flung her arms up, glares at her brother and smacks him up the head hard. "Ow!" Scott whines, "Way a go, you frighten her, stupidest thing I'd ever seen." she grumbles as she walks to her next class
~8~8~8~
After school, Alice drove her car behind Scott as they race to the burnt Hale family house, Scott jumps off his bike as Alice parks her car and got out, "Scott this is stupid." Alice tells him, shutting her door, "Derek, Derek!" Scott shouts throwing off his helmet and bag, Alice rolls her eyes and let out a frustrated groan.
"My god." she mumbles, running her hands over her hair. She then notices a freshly dug grave, and the familiar scent of dried blood. Then the scent of colonel reaches her nose and saw Derek standing on the pouch. Scott notices as well. "Stay away from her! She doesn't doesn't know anything!" Scott shouts at him. As Derek walks off the pouch and stood in front of him.
Alice was perfectly clam as Scott trembles like a frighten puppy, "Yeah? What if she does?" Derek asks him. "You think your little buddy Stiles just Google werewolves and now you know all the answers is that it?" Derek asks of him. "Wow you know what Google is, I'm impress." Alice throws at there, Derek glares at her, "I'm not trying to impress anyone." Derek growls at her, "I wasn't saying you were." she throws back. "You and Scott don't get it yet, but I'm looking out for you two, think about what could happen; Scott's out on the field, the aggression takes over, and he shift in front of everyone." Derek tells her. Scott said nothing.
Derek reaches down and grab Scott's Lacrosse stick and held it, "Your mom, all your friends, and when they see you." Derek points his stick as Scott, Scott swipes at the stick grab it, but misses. Derek then morphs his hand and shreds the Lacrosse net. Scott looks at it in shock, "Everything falls apart." Derek warns him, then tops the stick up and Scott catches it and saw that Derek was gone, Alice sighs as Scott got back on his bike and took off. She went to her car.
But stops on her tracks, slowly looks at the gave, sighs and looks around for something, Derek watches her from his window as she took running at a high speed and came back seconds later, with flowers in her hands, he watches her walk to the dug grave, knees down and place them on top if the dirt.
"Hello, I'm Alice. I um know you don't know me and that I have no reason to do this, but it felt like the right thing to do." Alice talks to the grave Derek watches her as he slowly walks out onto the porch, "I brought you Alice Lilies. I know that it's not much, but legend has it that they will bring you good fortune." she states then laughs.
"When I was in middle school, I uh, had a friend, called Cassie, she would call me Lily cause I was full of good fortune, or so she said, but then one day she and I were in a car accident, I survive, but she was dying from a pipe embedded into her chest, I stay with her, saying that she was going to be alright." she went on, as tears form in her eyes.
Derek crosses his arms and leans against the beam, "But she smiles and took my hand and told me that my good fortune is what kept me alive and that she never blamed me." Alice sniffles. "My best friend died right next to me and I blame myself every day for what happen to her and in freshmen year, I met an elderly man, that was perfectly healthy, he was like a grandfather to me, but he had a heart attack, I was next to him and he told me that spending his last moments when me was the best moments of his miser life." she states as the tears steam down her face.
"I've hated myself, because the people I care about died around me and I couldn't anything about it because I was the cause of their dead." she states, then wipes her tears away. "I wish I could take it all back, but I can't. So if I can give you any of my good fortune for you have a good paradise, I will." she place her hand on the grave.
"I'm sorry." she states, got up and brushes herself off and walks back to her car, wiping away her tears, Derek pulls himself off the pouch and walks up to her as she pulls out her keys. He grips her arm, turns her around and pulls her into his arms and holds her tightly. Alice was shock as her mind try to progress what happen, but being held like this made more tears stream down her face and she clung to him, clutching the back of his shirt as if her life depended on it. She buries her face into chest and cries softly, "It's okay." he tells her.
She shook her head at him, knowing that it will never be okay, after an hour, they sat on the couch, Alice just laid, using Derek's lap as a pillow, he pets her hair. "You're a mystery to me." Derek states, she raise her eyebrow. "How so?" she asks him, "You are more in control then any bitten werewolf I have ever known, you even control your shift during your class hours." he informs her, she looks up at him, "Are you stalking me, Derek Hale?" she asks him, he chuckles. "Never without your permission." he tells her.
"You would still do it, even if I say no wouldn't you?" she question him, he said nothing, she giggles. "I'll take that as a yes." she giggles, then fell silence, "My brother will play tomorrow, no matter what will happen after wards." she tells him, he looks down at her. "Is that a threat?" he asks her, she smiles pull up off his lap and looks at him, "No, that was no where close to a threat, but you don't know my brother like I do, I was born two minutes after him and the amount of pressure people are giving him to play and the bitch Lydia gets on my nerves, hate her." Alice mumbles.
Derek looks at her, Alice looks at her hand, flexes her fingers, making her claws jump out, he looks at her hand then back at her. "I'm getting pretty good. What else is there to know about this whole werewolf thing?" she asks him, making her claws shrink back to her fingernails, "Well, I know that you don't need training to control your shift since you're controlling it already." Derek states.
"But I will need to be taught on how to defend myself." she points out, he nods at her. "That's true, what time is it?" Derek asks, Alice pulls out her phone, "Almost 8, I need to get home and do my homework." she got off the couch and went to her bag on the table, as she pulls her bag and turns around. Derek was right in front of her, he took her phone from her, and types something into her phone and gave it back to her, "I hope to see you tomorrow." he tells her, she couldn't help but smile. "I can't wait." she tells him and walks back to her car with a big smile on her face.
She get into her car, puts the keys in the ignition, "Oh my god." she squeal to herself, she starts her car and drove off to her house. She parts next to Melissa's car and enters the house, "Alice, is that you?" Melissa asks. "Yeah mom, it's me." she calls out placing her keys in her bag, enters the kitchen and opens the fridge, looking for something to drink. "Why are you smiling?" she asks her daughter as Alice pulls out the milk, "Am I? I didn't even notice." Alice tells her pull out a glass.
"Alright, spill why are you smiling?" she asks her, as Alice fills the glass to half. Alice place the milk back in the fridge, "I just feel, lighter than I ever felt." Alice tells her, taking a drink of the milk. "You mean that guilty conscious you drag behind you like chains?" Melissa asks her, Alice nods. "And a good friend listen to me and understood me and what I was going through and we talk and I got to go because of the curfew and now if you excuse me, I have homework to do." she tells her mother, placing her empty glass in the sink and ran upstairs.
Melissa smiles for her daughter, knowing she's getting better, Alice enters her room, toss her bag to her bed and started to work on homework, humming a tune to herself. after Alice was finish with her homework, she strips into her Pjs and crashes onto her bed, just falling asleep, but as she did, she heard a heartbeat quickening, out of fear. Alice tries to block it, but it grew louder. She moves her pillow over her head and blocks out the heartbeat.
It was almost ten as Alice was sleeping peaceful, her window was crack open, Alice flinches a little, as she heard someone enter her room, under her pillow, she moves hand, slowly to the knife and as she felt a hand touch her shoulder.
She quickly grips their hand, pulls them onto the bed, saddles them and press the knife to their throat, "Will, if I knew that you would pull something like this, I would of come prepared." a familiar voice calls out. Alice uses her wolf vision and saw it was Derek that she was saddle on, that snuck into her room and has a blade press against his throat right this very moment. "Derek! I'm sorry, I didn't know." she pulls her blade away from his throat and got off of him, he sat up, "Do you make it a habit of sneaking into peoples rooms?" she asks him as she cross her legs.
"Only to people I like." he answers with a smirk, "Are you flirting with me?" she asks him, he looks at her as he props his elbow, "Ha-ha-ha, very funny, Hale." she states and shoves him off her bed. He went down with a thud and she leans over the edge and looks down at him, "Are you like this every man?" he asks her, she smiles down at him. "Every man that tries to be in my life, I need to know if he's worth it." she answers, "Am I worth it?" he asks her, "I don't know yet, I still need to figure that out." she states as she smiles down at him. "Now, get your werewolf ass out of here, before my mother, comes in here with a bat." she informs him, making them both laugh.
Derek pulls himself off her floor and walks to her window, "Bye." she whispers to him, "Bye." he smiles at her and took off into the night. Alice walks to her window, closes and locks it, but couldn't help smile to herself as she fell asleep.
~8~8~8~
Later that morning or afternoon, Alice arrive at the Hale house when she saw Derek being escorted by police, his hand cuffed behind his back, she gasp in horror. Then she walks up to Scott with an angry look on her face. "How could you?!" she shouts at him, Scott turns to her, now afraid of his sister, "He was the killer, I saw claw marks on the body." he tries to explain, "That doesn't make him the killer!" she shouts at him, "I'm sorry-" Scott tries to apology, but she held up her hand and stop him. "Don't talk to me." she growls at him and walks pass him, shoving her shoulder into his.
She then walks up to car that Derek was place in, "Mr. Stilinski, I need 20 minutes to talk to him, please." Alice asks Stiles dad, "No Alice he's a murder." he tries to tell her, "20 minutes that's all I want." she protest, he looks at her and sighs. "You and your stubborn nature, let get my son out of the way and you can talk, 20 minutes." he tells her, she nods. They both walk up to the car, Stilinski reaches into the car, pulling Stiles out and Alice jumps in, closes the door behind her, turns and face Derek.
"Hey, you okay? Aside from the fact my brother and Stiles just got up thrown in Jail?" she asks him, "Fan-fucking-tasic." he answers. "I had nothing to do with this, I swear to you Derek." she tries to convince him. "I know you didn't, but I'm going to need your help." he tells her, she nods at him. "I need you to be my eyes and ears while I'm in jail. Keep an eye on Scott and make sure he doesn't shift cause if he does. It's over for all of us." he tells her.
Leaning forward. She nods again, "Okay, come find me when you get out of jail." she tells him, "How do you even know when I will get out of Jail?" he asks her with his famous smile. She took out her phone, scrolls through her gallery, turns the phone to him and shows him the picture of the dead woman.
Derek's eyes widen, his smiles falls as he saw the picture. "I may not know you very well yet, but I know you didn't kill your sister, but someone did, just to get to you." she states and puts her phone away.
"How did you know she was my sister?" he asks her, "Will for starters, no random stranger would bury a body of someone they didn't know." she starts, "Yeah well, same goes for the fact a random stranger place flowers on a grave of someone they didn't know." Derek shot at her, she looks away from him with a small smile. "True, second, you reek of dirt when Scott and I came to visit you and third; you have the same color eyes as her and the blood smells the same." she sums up for him, "Impressive, are you a genius?" he asks her, she rolls her eyes with that same small smile. "I'm smarter then I let on."
She tells him, "Alice, promise me you'll not shift tonight." Derek asks of her, she nods and makes an "X" over her chest, "Cross my heart." she tells him, he nods at her. She smiles at him and got out of the car. And walks up to Scott and Stiles, "Don't you dare talk to me until you both apologize to Derek." she growls at them, showing her fangs for a second got in her car and drove off. "She's pissed." Scott states, "Yep." Stiles nods.
"Come on, let's go." Scott hops in the jeep and they took off after her. As they drove down the dirt road, Alice could hear Scott's heartbeat quicken, something was causing him to shift, she looks in review mirror and saw Scott in pain.
They both stop their cars, Alice and Stiles got out and saw Stiles threw his pack back away. "What the hell?" she shouts at him, "Ok, we're good, you-" Stiles states as he went back to this Jeep to find it empty, "Scott?" he calls out, the passenger closes. "Scott?" he calls out. "Stiles, where's Scott? Stiles, where's my brother?!" Alice shouts at him, as she grip her hair.
Stiles drove his jeep as Alice follows behind her, "Stiles you know you can't call dispatch line, while I'm on duty." the woman on the other line tells him, "I just need to know if you got any calls." he tells her, Alice just listen, "Calls? How?" she asks him.
"Like an odd person or a dog like individual roaming the streets." he tells her, "I'm hanging up on you now." she tells him, "No! Wait, wait, wait!" Stiles yells, "Good-bye." the woman ends the line, Stiles got frustrated and threw his radio speaker down in a picture of a fully shifted werewolf hold a woman in his arms. "I can't believe this; Scott and Stiles dug up a grave of a dead woman, Derek is thrown in jail for a crime he would never commit, Stiles kept the wolf's bane and now Scott is missing doing who knows what!" Alice talks to herself, then a sudden thought jumps in her head, "Wait, no. it couldn't be. But for fuck sake it is." she floors it and speeds pass Stiles.
~8~8~8~
It was close to dark, when Alice arrives at Allison's house and found her brother on the ground, with Allison and her father next to him, "Shit!" she mumbles, getting out of her car and ran to them, "Scott." she got to her knees.
"Alice, hi." Scott said nervously. "Where have you been, you have to get ready." she acts in a concern tone, "Are you his mother?" Allison's father asks her, she looks at him and smiles. "No, I'm his sister, well younger twin sister. I'm Alice McCall." she held out her hand to him, "Chris Argent." he shook her hand.
"I came looking for my brother, I promise mom I would take him to his first game tonight." she lies through her teeth, taking her hand back from his. Then she pulls her brother up from the ground. "We have to go, Scott." she tells him. He nods at her, "Bye, again sorry I hit your car." Scott apologizes to Chris, "No worries." he tells him, they both walk to her car. "Thank you." he whispers to her, "You owe me big time." she growls at him, they got in the car, drove by the house.
Scott grab his gear and she drove him to the school, "Good luck." she tells him. Scott looks at her and nods then walks. Got out of her car, and ran into the school, Alice sat in her car, running her thoughts everything that happen. None of the peaces fit, who would bit her and Scott? What would they gain out of them? Alice let out a frustrated sigh as she leans against her steering wheel, then gets out of the car and headed for the Lacrosse field.
Alice sat next to Melissa, "Aren't you excited?" Melissa asks Alice with a smile, Alice nods. "Yeah, lots and lots of excitement." she tells her, then looks back at the game as she frowns with worry. "God, please don't shift tonight." she mumbles the game starts and she saw how all the players on Scott's team refuses to pass the Scott.
But when he saw that the ball open, he ran for it. But Jackson being the asshole he was, rams into Scott from behind, took the ball and scores. Alice heart Scott's heart race with anger then saw a sign that said 'We love you Jackson'. "So brutal." Alice mumbles as she cover her eyes, but peeks out of them, looking at Scott, who was now getting angry, "Oh, this is not going to be good." she mumbles, fearing for what Jackson just unleashed. "Goddamn you Jackson, sacrificing the game for your fame and glory." Alice ran her hand through her hair, feeling her anger raise.
Scott hunches over, she heard his inner wolf growling, "You okay, kid?" the referee asks him. Scott nods his head, not saying a word, the referee walks away, worried for Scott, one of the enemy team's backs away from him, another sign was held up, Alice groans into her hands after looking at it. "God Lydia, you're making it worse." she moans, then looks at her brother, who was now ready for the game. The game starts and Scott catches the ball and makes a goal, everyone in the bleachers jumps up and cheers for him.
"Yeah! Go Scott! Show them who owns the game!" Alice shouts for her brother, the game went again, the enemy team got the ball, but as one of them went to pass it, but Scott stood in his way, growling, fangs bared and eyes glowing. He trembles in fear and gave to Scott, and Scott scores again, giving the opponent's goalie a hole in his Lacrosse stick, Alice covers her mouth as she tries not to laugh, the game was tied. Then realizes that he was going to shift again.
She looks around and saw that no one was looking at her. "Scott, I know you can hear me. Calm down." she whispers to him. "I can't, it's happening." he groans at her, she looks around again and spot Allison.
"Scott, I need you to listen to me, focus on Allison, on her voice, not anyone else, just her, ok?" she asks him, "Why?" he groans, "Just do it, trust me." she tells him. "Alright, I'll try." he states "You got this Scott, I know you do." Alice gave him a confidence boost and the final match starts, watch as Scott slowly loosing control, but then heard Allison's voice, telling him that he could do it, his heart slow down, the defenders rush at Scott, he wines up and throws the ball making the shot.
Beacon hill won the game. Everyone cheer for Scott, Alice looks at Jackson and saw that he was throwing a fit. Alice shook head, now her anger started to raise, she looks down at her hand and saw her claws appears, then moves through the moving crowd, and to the front of the school Alice stumbles to her car, crouches down, holding her stomach. "No, I'm in control, I'm in control." she mumbles to herself, but the more she through of Jackson the more angrier she got.
Her fangs stretch out, she closes her eyes, fear builds up in her and cover her ears, "No I'm in control." she whimpers, not wanting to shift. Unknown to her someone walks up behind her, crouches down and gently wraps their arms around, pulling her into their arms. She stiffens up, but the scent of colonel fills her nose and she relax in their arms, "I'm sorry, I couldn't help it." she cries, "Shh, it's alright." he nuzzles his head against her neck, "Help, Derek, I need your help." she whimpers. "Just focus on my voice, that's all you have to do." he whispers to him, tighten his arms around her.
His hand strokes her cheek, his touch was so soothing to her, she relaxes even more, her claws retract, fangs shorten and the anger and fear disappeared, she sighs and leans against Derek. "Why am I so tried?" she asks in a husky tone. "You're fighting against the shifting, it will weaken you greatly, but you did well, you didn't shift, completely." Derek tells her, "Hey Derek, I'm gonna rest a while." she mumbles drifting to sleep, he smiles at her, her head head rolls onto his shoulder.
"Rest all you want, I'll keep you safe." Derek tells her, then stood up with her resting in his arms, he found her keys, opens her passenger side, and gently set her inside in the car. He closes the door, walking over to the driver seat, trying not to wake her. he looks over and saw Stiles standing there, Derek's eyes flash blue and he got into the car, belting her in, lowing her seat, starts the car and drove off from the school.
"Aw shit, Scott's going to kill me." Stiles mumbles and ran to the locker room; Stiles saw Scott and Allison making out and she left the locker room, Scott walks up to him with a smile on his face, "I kissed her." Scott mumbles, "I saw." Stiles tells him. "She kissed me." He mumbles again.
"Saw that too." Stiles tells hi, Scott was still smiling. "It's pretty good, huh?" Stiles tells him, "I- I- I- I- I- I don't know how, but I control it, I pulled it back. Maybe I can do this, maybe it's not that bad." Scott states. "Yeah, we'll talk later then." Stiles pats his chest, not wanting to rain on Scott's parade. But Scott grabs his arm, keeping him from leaving, "What?" Scott asks him. Stiles sighs, "The medical examiner look at the other half of the body we found." Stiles tells him, "And?" Scott wants him to continue.
"Well, I'll keep it simple; medical examiner determines killer of girl, to be animal not human, Derek's human not animal, Derek not killer. Derek let out of Jail." Stiles inform, Scott looks at him in dis-belief. "Are you kidding?" he asks him. "No here's a bigger kick in the ass, my dad I.D the dead girl, both halves. Her name was Laura Hale." Stiles went on, shocking Scott. "Hale?!" Scott repeats.
"Derek's sister and here's the bigger kick in the ass. I went to find Ally after the game, I found her, pass out in Derek's arms and he took both her and her car." Stiles was the deliver of bad new this night, "What?!" Scott shouts, Stiles flinches a little. Out on the field, Jackson walk up to Scott glove that laid there on the field, he picks it up, examines it and saw a hole in each one of the fingers of the glove, Jackson looks around and saw Derek standing there with a determined look on his face, then he walks away from him and back to the forest were, a Green SUV was and Alice McCall was sleeping.
