This is the new chapter, I went back over it and fixed the mistakes and added some stuff.

Chapter 12

Derek POV

"It runs in the family, their haven't been many in our family that have this infliction and they keep their emotions in check to keep it from happening, Damien doesn't, I'm warning you Derek if you get in his way he may very well kill you".

Derek was surprised, what Deaton was telling him was that Damien was going to be turning something akin to a killing machine destroying anything in his path and Derek couldn't be believe it. He had seen Damien and he was dangerous, that he knew but what Deaton was telling him didn't make sense, but he would believe him.

"Ok, so how do I stop him?", Derek asked.

Deaton shaked his head in dismay, "I'm afraid the only thing you can do is to keep him focused and make sure no one on your side will get in his way, if you do that then you will be fine.",

"He said that he would be able to control it, is that true?", Derek wanted to know if Damien could be able to control it somewhat then he wouldn't have to worry too much, he could focus on getting to the heart.

Deaton looked to be in deep thought for a moment, "I don't know, in theory, you have to understand our family line is very small, I only know about this because the knowledge was passed down to me, my grandmother had the same infliction, or will you could call it, and she kept her emotions in check, never getting too attached to someone".

Derek, didn't know much about Deaton, he was always mysterious, never giving out too much information and now he was, Derek was going to take in everything he said, an opportunity like that may never come again.

"Because if she didn't then she would even kill us to get to what she wanted, that is why our family does not express emotions freely like most do, even if we do not have the infliction, it is part of how we were taught, Damien was raised differently it seems", Deaton said with a frown on his face.

Derek nodded his head, "so I just have to keep everyone out of his way"

Deaton nodded in agreement, "yourself included"

Derek looked at Stiles one last time, he knew that this was his fault because of his self-hatred and loathing, he had denied Stiles what he both of them wanted, he had been a fool and now Stiles was paying the price, if he never had the argument with Stiles, he wouldn't of been lying in this hospital bed, softly dying.

He went over to the bed and kissed his temple, "everything is going to be different when you wake up, I promise".

He walked to the door then turned around, "One last question?"

Deaton looked at him as if he already knew what the question was, "What were my parents protecting, when they were alive, Peter won't tell me".

Deaton sighed, "It was a family heirloom of the Hales, whatever or whoever was searching for it only knew that it would be in the possession of an old werewolf family, it didn't know your parents had it until it had ripped through most of them".

Derek looked to be in deep thought, he was going to ask Deaton what it was but he spoke again.

"It was a journal, thats all I know, I don't know what it contains and I don't know by who it was written, your mother was never able to open it, she was able to hide it, though I do not know where", Deaton answered."

"Thank you", Derek said before he walked out and went to meet with his pack.

Derek arrived at his house to see everyone already there, it was no surprise that Jackson and Scott was there, they cared for Stiles and they were willing to put aside any differences they may have had with him to save him.

Though who did surprise him was Peter, he was sitting at the table, all smiles and wit.

Derek growled, he and Peter had their problems but he was willing to put them aside for Stiles, "So what did we figure out while I was gone?"

The whole table looked at him with troubled faces and the only one who spoke was Isaac, who was biting his lip worriedly.

"We didn't figure out much since we don't know where it is or what protections are there, its like we're flying in blind, we can only wait until Damien comes" Isaac said

Derek knew that Stiles was right, they were flying blind for the moment, only Damien could tell them where the heart was, and Derek didn't know his state of mind, he didn't want to tell the others what Deaton had told him either because then that would only cause distrust within the pack and he wasn't having that.

Erica spoke next, "but we have been telling them what you've been teaching us since you fought it, maybe you could give us some more info", Derek smirked at least they had some information on how the thing fought it was better than nothing.

"From what I've seen if fights from a distance, and use telekinesis to distance it's enemies while it throws around spells, though it may get close when close if it thinks you've been caught", Derek said and them nodded absorbing all the information.

"So, we can hit it right?", Jackson asked and Peter rolled his eyes.

Derek nodded, "yes but if it feels pain, it emits a screech, it is very painful to anyone with range and with us being werewolves that's going to be a problem"

Scott was close to him and looked like he wanted to say something but was scared, Derek looked at him, one eyebrow raised, he was curious to what Scott wanted to say.

Scott sighed, "Okay look, I know that we are all together now but, I think we may need some help here".

Derek's eyebrow rose even higher, telling him to get on with it and Scott sighed again.

"I've been talking to Allison and she said that they could help, her Dad even wants too", Scott said and the pack all had different reactions, the face on Isaac was one of betrayal and hurt, Erica looked furious and so did Boyd, Jackson was a little surprised and Peter looked like he expected it.

Derek wanted to say no, that they were only going to stab them in the back blame them for what was happening and what had happened, but Scott was right, with the Crone being unpredictable, they were going to need all the help they could get.

Derek, "Ok", the look on Scott's face was one of joy but Derek quickly squashed it, "but if they make any action against us, I'll kill them", the whole room froze at that statement and Scott's happy demeanor deflated, Peter looked like he agreed with his choice and no one disputed it.

Scott nodded his head, he left out of the room, shoulders tense and cell phone in his hand.

Derek sighed and sat down, no one spoke for a while, just waiting and then they heard cars pull up and doors slamming.

The whole pack stood beside Peter up backs against the kitchen walls and counters, this was the first time in months that they would see the hunters and at a time when tensions were high, they didn't trust them by a long shot and they wanted to on guard.

The first one who walked in was Chris and Allison followed behind, Derek noticed some changes, Chris looked like he aged a bit over the past few months, his wife dying and what happened with Allison had changed him, and Allison looked like a hunter now more than ever, she didn't have that cruel look in her eyes that she had when she was hunting Derek, but it seemed that the she had kept the hunter lifestyle, bow and all.

Chris spoke first, "Derek", he said as he nodded, Derek nodded back and the rest of the pack just stared at them, Derek really couldn't expect much.

Allison nodded at them in greeting them also, Erica and Boyd didn't even acknowledge her, it seemed they were still pissed, Derek sighed he would have to talk to them later.

"So, can we get on with the planning, because the awkward silence is just killing me", Peter said out of the blue and Derek growled at him, eyes glowing red with annoyance.

"I have to agree with him, I rather not be standing here all day", Jackson snidely added.

Derek sighed, he swears this pack will be the death of him. "has Scott filled you in?"

"No not much, he just told me that Stiles was in trouble and you needed help", Allison spoke and her voice was one of determination.

"The Crone appeared some time ago, it killed a girl and apparently took her soul for a spell, we haven't figured out what kind yet though", Derek explained.

Chris nodded, "I'm familiar with what a Crone is, though my family hasn't hunted one in over a hundred years and half of my family back then was killed trying to take it down, if what you're saying is true, you were right to call us"

"What did it do to Stiles?", Allison asked

"It cursed him, caught him when he was driving home", Isaac answered his eyes were trained on Scott, he was a little too close to Allison for Isaac's comfort and Scott didn't seem to see what the problem was, Derek really wished Stiles was here to knock some sense into his best friend.

Allison bit her lip and Chris looked to be deep in thought, and then 'Home Soon' by Bruno Merz started playing unexpectedly, everyone turned to Jackson, he hurried up and took his phone out of his pocket and answered it, anger showing on his face.

"Yeah, I'll put you on speaker", Jackson said.

Lydia's voice came through, "Before anyone starts asking me questions, yes Stiles is fine, his resistance to the curse is strong and with our help the curse has slowed, for now", enough everyone let out a breath of relief, Stiles was safe for now, "tell me about the plan"

"We're still waiting on Damien, he has most of the information we need", Derek answered

"And Allison and Chris are here to help", Scott spoke, Erica and Isaac looked at him in annoyance and Allison laughed, Derek raised an eyebrow at that before she left she wouldn't even smile.

"Hmm, okay that's good, given that we don't have enough information, back-up is good", Lydia's said.

There was a knock on the door and everyone froze, "Is someone going to get the door or stare at it ominously?", Peter asked.

Derek sighed and went to the door, he opened it and Damien was there but he wasn't the Damien from earlier, it seems what Deaton said from before was true because Damien's eyes were no longer brown they were shining a deep azure blue, his face held no expression and he wore all black, there was a weird crystal axe on his belt and what looked to be a sawed off shotgun strapped to his back.

He looked ready to go to war.

Derek let him in inside, eyes watching his every move, he didn't even say hello, and he just walked into the kitchen where everyone was.

Derek walked in after him and he heard a gasp, he looked at Isaac, his mouth was wide open, he was staring at Damien and everyone else's was too.

"Dude, what happened to your eyes?", Scott asked and Derek growled, his eyes glowing red, Scott shot him an apologetic look.

Peter raised his finger, "I for one and I'm guessing everyone else, would like to know the answer to that question"

"Guys, what's going on", Lydia asked.

Jackson put the phone up to his lips, still staring at Damien with surprise on his face, "Damien, just got here and he has major weird eyes going on", he whispered.

Damien looked at Peter and simply said, "No", it was a soft one, but you could tell he was serious, he looked at Chris and Allison, they were staring at him with suspicion, "are you going to get in my way?", he asked them.

Derek stood in front of them blocking Damien's path, he looked at him, azure eyes showing no emotion, "No they won't".

"Derek", Chris said and Derek shook his head as if telling him to back off.

They stared each other down and for a second, he though Damien was going to attack him, but he didn't say a word, just turned towards the table and pulled out a map from his back pocket, there was a circle on it showing where the Crone's heart was.

"This is where the heart is, there are two layers of protections are around it, the first is a combination of a creation/animation spell, what it will bring I don't know, the second is an illusionary spell", Damien spoke, his face was as hard as stone, and his gaze was unnerving, even Peter looked a little bit disturbed.

"Ok that's good, if it was the other way around we would've had a problem but with the first protection we have an opening", Lydia said.

"What do you mean?", Chris asked.

"Damien can only take one person with him to the heart and with the first protection, the rest of you guys could provide a distraction dealing with whatever appears, I think that the protections activate whenever someone is near, so Damien and the second person should get through the second protection without resistance."

"That will work but we still have to deal with the Crone getting away when the first protection activates", Damien said

Derek nodded his head in understanding, Lydia was right, and what Deaton had given him could come in hand too.

"Lydia, did Deaton tell you what he gave me was?", Derek asked her.

Before he had left Deaton had caught him in the hallway, and had given him a stone, said that he would need it and then went back in Stiles' room.

"Yes, he said it was a summoning stone, he imbued it with some of the dark magic on Stiles left by the Crone, and it should draw the Crone to whoever has it after I activate it", Lydia said.

Derek nodded his head, he pulled out the stone, "any takers, I'm going with Damien, I can't take it with me"

Scott was the first one to step up before anyone said anything, he grabbed the stone and Derek didn't let go, he knew Scott was doing it for Stiles but also needed to know what it meant to him, Scott looked him in the eyes and seemed to understand, he nodded his head and Derek let it go.

Damien rolled up the map, he looked like he was ready to go and so was the pack, they knew what the plan was and were ready, Allison and Chris looked ready too.

Derek sighed, got his jacket and put it on, "alright let's go"

They all walked to their cars, Jackson on the phone with Lydia and Scott following behind.

He was looking longingly at Isaac, but his was paying him no mind, ready to get into Derek's car, with the rest of his pack.

Chris and Allison got into their truck and Damien was the last, stone expression still on his face.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXX

They had parked and got out it looked like Damien had gotten their first, as soon as they pulled up, he had gotten out and was already leading the way.

As soon as Derek had gotten out, Chris was right by him, ready to ask questions, "Scott already told Allison about this Damien, and apparently before tonight his eyes never glowed, is there anything you want to tell me?", Peter walked closer wanting an answer also.

"He's with me, that's all you need to know", Derek said, he knew that Chris was distrustful of Damien, he wasn't going to give him any reason to try and hurt him, nor was he going to let Damien hurt Chris.

He walked ahead not wanting to argue with Chris, and for a while no one spoke, then Damien stopped and there was a clearing, the waxing moon was shining providing some light, there were two statues at the end, one side of the face was that of a beautiful woman eye closed, a serine look on her face and a clean dress, the other side was that of a skull, and her arm was bone, the side with the skull had a cloth that covered that side and connected to the dress on the other side, and in it's bone hand it was carrying a stone scythe.

It was eerie, to see a statue like that, cut down the middle, one side alive, the other dead, life and death in the same body.

"This is where, the first protection is", Damien said softly.

Everyone heard him, and with determination on their faces, they moved forward.

They stopped in the middle of the clearing and Damien spoke, "the statues will come alive first, then the earth and the trees will come together to create something, a golem".

After he said that the statues began to move slowly, you could hear cracking coming from them, they slowly raised their scythes and moved towards the group.

The earth between the statues began to move and shift, it started to form a face, one that screamed in horror and pain, rocks were showing from it's dirt skin and the trees were uprooted from the ground, trunks slowly being overtaken by dirt.

Damien was right it look like a golem from a comic book and if Stiles had ever heard him say that he would never hear the end of it.

The golem's face was huge, it didn't have a neck and it's chest was covered with sharp rocks, it's arms were the trees that it had taken and fingers the branches and it roared, an inhuman sound, everyone covered their ears except for Damien, he was calm the whole time.

Erica smiled ready to finally fight something and Boyd did to, it seemed he was tired of holding back.

Scott had stepped next to Isaac, he had already shifted and was crouched, he was growling and for the moment Isaac smiled then took the same position as Scott.

Peter had an expression that said what the hell and shifted too.

Jackson had shifted also, ready for a fight, Allison bow was ready, her stance tight and Chris had his gun out ready to shoot anything that got near him.

Damien walked forward, determination in his eyes, he pulled the crystal axe from his side, he closed his eyes and ran towards the golem, Derek couldn't believe it.

The statues had made their way towards to group, Allison was shooting arrows at it but they were getting shredded by the scythe the statue was swinging around.

Jackson, Isaac and Scott rushed the statue, claws out and ready to tear it apart, the other statue was being attacked by Chris, he was shooting the statue and it seemed to cause little damage.

Peter, Boyd and Erica ran towards that statue, dodging the scythe that it was swinging around, Erica had swiped at it's side while Peter distracted it, the swipe connected and a crack formed, Boyd came behind and swiped but the scythe had swinged around almost cutting him in half before Peter tackled him to the ground.

It seemed that they were working together but he couldn't stand and look around, Derek rushed over to where Damien was fighting the golem.

Damien's eyes were closed and he was dodging the arm's of the golem, jumping out of the way when it's trunk left gouges in the earth. Derek shifted and jumped into the fray, he had moved and ducked under the tree trunk swinging above him, he swiped at the golem's leg, taking a chunk out dirt out. The golem fell to knee and used it's arms to keep it up right.

Damien moved and with a swing of the axe the arm was cut off and broken, dirt and slivers of wood flew everywhere, the golem roared again and fell on his side.

Derek jumped on top and clawed into it, dirt and rocks flying everywhere, for second he thought he was killing it but then he was tackled to the ground, he looked up to see Damien above him, eyes blazing azure.

The golem suddenly rose up, the attacks they had caused were healing, dirt and rocks' rising from the ground to replace what was gone, the tree wasn't broken any more and it was reattached to it.

Damien stood up, he gripped his axe and, "we have to take out it's heart located on the right side in it's chest, it won't die until then", he held out a hand, Derek took it and stood up ready for another go.

The golem rushed them and they separated, the golems arms came crashing down near him, he dodged backwards, and jumped on top of the trunk, the golem noticed and swung the arm again, Derek held on tightly and the golem suddenly fell backwards, he saw Damien quickly move from behind it, it seems that he had cut the knees of the golem.

Derek quickly got up and jumped on the chest of the golem, he clawed at the stone, tearing it out, his fingers were bleeding, but he didn't care he knew that they would heal. He finally saw something shine through the dirt,but he suddenly thrown off again and hit the ground hard, he shook of the pain and rose up again, the golem was rushing him, he could still see the heart glowing in it's chest,and he roared at it, ready for another chance to rip into it.

Suddenly Damien was in front of him, he pulled the shot gun from his back,and he patiently waited until the golem got closer and when the golem had gotten in front of them, arm raised ready to crush them, Damien shot at the glowing heart.

The golem suddenly exploded, dirt, rocks and pieces of wood flew everywhere, Derek grabbed Damien and covered him, shielding him for the onslaught of debris.

After it stopped, there was darkness and heavy breathing,they were buried benath dirt and rocks, they heard shouting and suddenly a hand burst through moon light shining around it and grapped his shoulder and pulled him out, he dragged Damien along with him.

Everyone was standing around them, relief on their faces, he looked at Damien, he was breathing heavy and his eyes were closed, Derek was still clinging to him, he hurriedly let him go, Damien didn't say anything just pulled himself up.

Derek looked at the statue and they were in pieces, there were a few scratches on everyone and their clothes were torn but they seemed to be okay,

"The trees are next", Damien said and Derek could hear the creaking and groaning of the trees,they were coming alive slowly, branches twisting togther to create arms, he wanted to stay and fight them off but Scott looked at him, trust in his eyes.

"You two go, we got this", he said.

"Yeah, it's just some pansy ass trees and we just took down some crazy statues, we'll be fine", Erica said.

"and the Crone is getting some payback in spades for what he did to Stiles", Boyd said and everyone agreed with him.

Derek nodded, Damien grapped Derek's wrist and pulled him along, Derek looked back one more time, the pack smiled at him, Jackson give him a smirk, Chris and Allison nodded at him and Scott gave him a goofy smile.

"Don't die", he said and turned around, walking into the dragon's den, he didn't know what awaited them there but he had a feeling that it was anything good.
