Bloody senior year

Chapter 9: Bloody Friends/Enemies

After Derek's death life in Beacon Hills formed a new normal. Isaac was adjusting to his new role as an alpha, which was made easier by the fact that Erica and Boyd accepted him as their leader. He and Stiles went public with their relationship and everyone at school was surprised. Allison and Scott were officially back together, but no one was surprised about that. Allison and Stiles were still inseparable.

Jackson proved to be difficult. He'd made several attempts to kill Stiles and he refused to accept Isaac as his alpha. Isaac really tried to keep the pack together, but eventually he had to give Jackson a choice. Either Jackson acted peacefully or Isaac would run him out of town.

As it turned out, Lydia enjoyed being a vampire and she didn't hold a grudge against Stiles for turning her. However, she'd been gone from school and her home for a month because she could only go out at night and her urges were too strong to be around humans. Surprisingly, it was Rebekah that taught her how to gain control. Together, they compelled Lydia's parents to cover for her so no one got suspicious.

Rebekah definitely didn't go easy on Lydia. She was ruthless with the training and accepted no excuses. Over time, the two girls settled into a friendly rivalry. Even so, Rebekah didn't take back her compulsion over Lydia. Two months into Rebekah's training, Lydia received the ring that allowed her out in the daylight.

Meanwhile, Jeremy and Kol found their own place. They were fond of the pack, but they were tired of werewolves coming in and out of their house.

Overall, things were good. For the moment, at least.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

"Can you believe Stiles ditched me yesterday?" Scott complained. He was walking beside his girlfriend in the school hallway, holding her hand and ranting. "We were supposed to hang out and he texted me last minute saying that he was busy with Isaac. This is the third time this week."

"Payback's a bitch," Allison muttered. She wasn't surprised, but she still felt bad. "Besides, he's happy with Isaac. You're his best friend, you should be happy for him. They're still in that new relationship phase where they constantly want to be alone, if you know what I mean." She smirked and raised an eyebrow at him.

"I know," Scott sighed. "I'm just worried he hasn't really forgiven me. I know he said he did, but…I dunno, what if he was just saying that?"

"He's just moody sometimes, but so am I. That's why we go out to hunt. Especially since Isaac asked him to stop feeding from Danny." Allison shrugged. "It's just a vampire thing."

:::::::::::::::::::::::

Jeremy narrowed his eyes as he passed Jackson. "Someday, I swear I'm going to rip that guy's head off," Jeremy threatened.

"You're not the only one," Stiles replied, though it was hard to be angry with Isaac's long arms around his waist.

"He is kind of getting on my nerves," Isaac admitted.

"What are you losers talking about?" Jackson sneered as he approached the group with Lydia trailing behind him.

"That's it," Jeremy snapped. "I'm tired of your shit. I challenge you. After school, you and me. Let's see who's best, you asshole." Jeremy stormed away at that.

"Lydia, how's the undead life treating you?" Stiles asked, making Jackson growl with anger.

"Stop," Isaac ordered, his eyes flashing red for a brief second. "You don't need to cause a scene in front of the whole school."

"Jackson, calm down," Lydia pleaded with her boyfriend.

The first bell of the day rang and they parted ways.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

"Stiles, can we talk?" Scott asked during lunch. The vampire looked confused, but nodded and followed his best friend out to the bleachers. They sat in silence for a while.

"You said you wanted to talk, but all I hear is your heart beating insanely fast. What's up?" Stiles asked.

"Yeah, sorry," Scott said cautiously. "I just wanted to ask if you were mad at me for any reason?"

"No. Why would you think that?"

"It's just that you've been ditching me for Isaac a lot lately. I thought maybe you were getting back at me for the shitty friend I was before all this." Scott stared at the ground.

Stiles winced with sympathy. "Scott, you'll always be my best friend. You just have to understand, I've never really been with anyone before Isaac. It's kind of like when you and Allison first started dating. Remember how all you wanted was to be with her? I'm not mad. I didn't know you felt that way. Let's skip the rest of school and hang out." Stiles threw an arm around Scott's shoulders.

"Stiles, I can't skip. My grades are so bad. The teachers will call my mom and I'll be grounded until I die," Scott said sadly.

"Dude, vampire," Stiles said, pointing at himself. "I'll compel the teachers so we won't get busted."

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Allison sighed and crossed her arms, leaning against one of the pillars of the porch. "Well, Scott and Stiles are hanging out, so I don't know what I'm gonna do today." She looked out over the front yard of the former Hale house.

"We could go do something," Lydia offered. "I have plenty of control."

"No thanks," Allison muttered. She still hadn't really forgiven her former friend and she smirked when she saw the guilty expression on Lydia's face.

"Okay, let's get started," Isaac called as he stepped out of the house.

"This is going to be so fun," Erica commented, sitting on the steps in front of Allison.

"Go, Jeremy!" Rebekah cheered.

"Are you ready, you dick?" Jeremy asked. He looked almost bored.

"You're dead," Jackson said through clenched teeth. He shifted and charged at the vampire.

Jeremy didn't blink. He grabbed the werewolf by the neck to stop him and turned him around. He buried his right hand in the wolf's abdomen and slowly reached up to barely touch his heart. Jackson was screaming in pain. "I warned you," Jeremy whispered against the wolf's neck. "If you keep acting like this toward me and my friends, I won't hesitate to kill you."

"Let him go!" Lydia begged from the sidelines. "He doesn't heal as fast as us."

"Shut up and sit, my pet," Rebekah ordered. Lydia jerked as the compulsion kicked in and she rushed to follow her orders.

"I knew this would be boring," Jeremy muttered. He released Jackson and the werewolf fell face first into the ground.

Isaac approached Jackson and rolled him over. "I'm sorry, but if you keep treating everyone this way you'll be out of the pack."

"P-Please," Jackson sputtered.

Isaac looked to the vampires. "Will one of you feed him your blood so he can heal and go home?"

"I will!" Lydia rushed with vampire speed to her boyfriend's side. She eagerly bit her hand and let the drops of blood fall into Jackson's mouth. His injuries started healing almost instantaneously.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

"Now, forget that you saw us," Stiles said confidently, compelling the man in front of him. "No one stole from the blood bank."

"That's really cool," Scott said. No matter how many times he'd seen the vampire compulsion trick, he was still impressed.

"Yeah, hurry up," Stiles said as he headed toward the exit of the hospital. "Your mom might see us."

Once they were outside, they climbed into Stiles' Jeep and dropped the cooler of blood in the back seat. They burst into laughter. Scott was having a great time. "Who would have thought stealing blood would be fun?" Scott said.

"I know," Stiles replied. "I'm impressed. I thought you'd get grossed out."

"Not too much," Scott laughed. "I can't believe I dropped one. It was everywhere. They're gonna be so confused about that."

The moment was interrupted when Stiles' phone rang. "Hey, there's my sexy alpha," the vampire said with a smirk as he answered. Scott rolled his eyes and tried not to listen. He'd made that mistake before and he still blushed every time he went to Stiles' room.

"No," Scott said.

"Jackson fought with Jeremy and lost. Lydia gave him her blood to heal him and then…then he attacked Isaac when his back was turned. Fucking coward. He was planning to try to be the new alpha." Stiles gritted his teeth.

When they arrived at the house, they saw Jackson on the ground with both legs broken. Lydia was next to him and she looked like she desperately wanted to help him, but couldn't.

"I'm so glad you're alright," Stiles sighed with relief. He rushed to Isaac and examined him. He stared at the shredded bloody clothes and felt for injuries.

"I'm okay," Isaac reassured his boyfriend. "I healed already." He embraced Stiles and kissed him.

"You'll pay for this, you son of a bitch," Stiles hissed. He kicked Jackson in the head, leaving him instantly unconscious.

"Please, don't kill him!" Lydia shouted.

"What do you care, Lydia?" Stiles said derisively. "Do you think he cares about you? He hates that you're a vampire."

"I'll do anything," Lydia pleaded. "Just…please."

Allison stepped in. "Give up your ring."

"What? I can't do that."

Stiles shrugged. "Fine, then he dies." Stiles kicked the unconscious wolf.

"Wait!" the new vampire shouted. She took of her ring and handed it to Allison.

Lydia tried to attack Allison while she was grabbing the ring, but Scott punched her aside. "I wouldn't do that," he said. His eyes flashed yellow and he bared his fangs.

Isaac shifted and was quickly joined by Boyd and Erica. The betas stood in fighting stances, ready to defend their alpha if necessary. "Leave town," Isaac said. "If I see you here again, you're dead."

Lydia lifted her boyfriend's body and rushed to his Porsche. She was sobbing with impotent rage as she drove away.

"She won't get far without her ring," Stiles commented.

"Oh well," Rebekah said. "Fancy a drink?"
