I was slightly shocked that we had one the game, I never felt so relieved but in the back of my mind all I could think about was Aideen, I had screwed up to no end. After I changed I noticed Scott was talking with Allison and I was sort of rooting for them, but one of our teammates kept interrupting them. I laughed as I pulled my keys out, I called my mom and told her I was on my way home. As I got to my car someone grabbed my keys and ripped them from my hands. "What do you want?" I sighed looking at Derek. He didn't look the same though; he looked mad, but madder than normal as if something possessed him. "Derek, I'm sorry for accusing you and everything."
"Ok," he sighed annoyed.
"Can I have my keys?" I asked reaching for them as he pulled his arm back. "Dude, you ok?"
"Hello, Justin," someone's voice called from behind me. I turned around a little frightened.
"Peter? Look at you," I smiled walking over to him. "It only took six years," I tried to make a joke but neither of them laughed. I got a second glance of Peter and suddenly I felt it click. "It's you," I gasped.
"Very good, and I always thought you were too stupid."
"Why? You know how many innocent li-"
"Innocent, none of them were innocent Justin, they killed my family," he barked. "Becoming alpha was the hard part," he scoffed looking at me deviantly.
"No, you wouldn't."
"I did, it was too easy, she didn't even suffer." I felt all my anger from the night I found Laura died flooded my heart and mind.
"I'll kill you, I swear so help me God, I will kill you," I snarled grabbing him by the shoulders looking deep in his lifeless eyes.
"Justin," I heard the soft scream of someone I knew. I looked and found Aideen running toward us, she looked badly injured but seemed not focused on that.
"So I see…" I felt a sharp pain in my abdomen and when I looked down I saw Peter's claws in my stomach, he slowly pulled them out causing more pain. My breathing became heavy and he looked at me. "Say hi to Laura," he smiled lifting me up by my neck, he slammed me on my car and I went right through my windshield. I felt tiny shards of glass in my back and the pain in my stomach grew the more I breathed. I soon blacked out after that.
"Justin, wake up, please wake up," someone was smacking my cheek. I tried opening my eyes but I couldn't. "Lift a finger if you hear me," the voice continued but I soon lost consciousness again.
"Justin," a vaguely familiar voice called out. I could open my eyes now and as I did I saw Laura leaning above me.
"No," I sat up quickly.
"It's alright, you're alright, I'm only in your dream," she said softly touching my cheek. "Didn't I instruct you to keep Derek out of trouble?" she laughed as I stood up.
"It's harder than you think ok?" I smiled helping her up. "Laura, I'm so, so sorry," I sighed hugging her. It felt all too real and I felt great holding her in my arms again.
"Justin stop. It wasn't your fault, I had no clue it was a trap," she snapped getting angry. "I was the one who should have listened to you."
"I…I miss you Laura," I felt a tear fall from my eye.
"I know you do. But Justin, you have her," she said stepping a little to the side as Aideen stood there. "Move on, I am only a memory she is what you need," Laura demanded kissing my cheek. As she walked away she disappeared and Aideen walked over to me. She leaned in and her lips touched mine, I felt regenerated.
I sat up quickly feeling sharp pain in my stomach. "No, lay down," the voice demanded. Aideen rushed over and pushed me down the metal top I laid on felt like ice on my bare back.
"Why…why are you helping me?" I struggled to talk with the pain. My wound was taking longer to heal than normal.
"Because…I still love you," she sighed as I looked at her.
"I'm sorry Aideen, I screwed up. I should have never said anything I was just untrusting of Derek…who is a backstabbing traitor."
"What are you talking about?"
"He is helping his uncle. They thought they could get to me since I am near family to them. But Peter found out about…us and now wants me dead," I snapped as she tried keeping me on the table.
"You lost a lot of blood you need to stay flat for a while."
"I need to stop Derek and talk some sense…"
"No, you need to stay here!" she snapped looking at me with pain in her eyes. I grabbed her hand and held onto it for a little and pulled her in kissing her hand, my eyes grew heavy again and I fell asleep once more.
I woke up and I found myself stronger so I did what I thought was best and I got up. I must have stayed here the entire night since I the sun came through the window. I walked into what I found a lobby of some hospital type place. Where am I? I looked around and soon came to my mind finding myself in the animal clinic. My phone started to ring so I pulled it out and answered. "Hello?"
"How are we doing this morning?" Aideen asked.
"I feel much better, thanks, and you really didn't have to do that last night."
"Think of it as a…your forgiven token," she laughed as I smiled. My phone started vibrating telling me I had another call coming in.
"Aideen, can you hold I think this is important," I said as I soft sigh came from her. "Hello?"
"Justin, were are you?" Scott asked sounding a little panicked.
"Animal Clinic, why?"
"Because we need your help, and why are you at my job?"
"Pick me up and I'll tell you," I groaned still feeling the pain from the night before.
"Aideen, I got to go, I will talk to you later, ok?"
"Yeah, I guess," she sighed. I ran outside and found Stiles pull up in his jeep. I jumped in and the three of us took off again.
"Can someone tell me what is going on?"
"You mean, you have no clue that Peter is the alpha and Derek jumped ship…"
"No, I know that already, he tried killing me," I hissed looking at Scott with annoyance. "Thanks for the back up." I tried to keep a straight face saying that but it was impossible. "So where are we going?"
"Well Jackson has been…acting weird."
"No shocker there," Stiles rolled his eyes. We came to an empty parking lot and found a dark gray Porsche crap out in the middle of the parking lot. Mr. Argent seemed to be with Jackson looking in the hood of the car.
"Shit," Scott whispered.
