Chapter 4
It wasn't hard to track the scent of the twins once they had pried open the elevator doors and escaped before any real damage could be done. Isaac had settled down now, his only thoughts now where that of revenge. It pained him though that he was inches away from sinking his fangs deep into Scott's neck. They will pay for this Isaac's thoughts screamed in his head. They burst into the car park, where, sure enough Ethan and Aidan where stood shirtless waiting for them.
Without any hesitation Isaac turned wolf and went to sprint to where they both were stood. Scott grabbed Isaac's arm, stopping him in his tracks. Isaac looked at Scott with a confused look.
"We need a plan Isaac, you charge in, you're dead" Isaac stopped resisting Scott's pull. He had a point. The last time they had gone up against the twins combined they had dominated them with great ease.
"We keep them separate" Allison piped up, revealing her cross bow from her bag.
"You carry that on you all the time?" asked Stiles.
"These days its more important than lip gloss" she replied with a smile, "cover your eyes then charge them".
Scott looked towards Isaac. "I'll take Ethan" he said
"Aidan's mine then" replied Isaac through gritted teeth. The rage he had been feeling was now boiling over and he was ready to unleash it all over Aidan's face.
The twins turned to look at each other both wearing the same smug grin.
"NOW" cried Allison. She rapidly fired two flash arrows at the twins, who were about to merge into one gigantic, terrifying werewolf. The flash stopped them as they both staggered back, away from each other. This was their opportunity.
Isaac and Scott darted forward criss-crossing in front of each other and then over to their targets.
Scott swiped at Ethan but the Alpha was to fast and dodged out of the way. Ethan's left fist came hurtling towards Scott's face with such force that it spun Scott through the air, but with his agility as a wolf he managed to land on his feet. He growled at Ethan, as though trying to make a threat. Ethan roared back. Scott sprinted towards him as fast as he could and landed a drop kick directly in the middle of Ethan's chest, sending him flying backwards. This aggravated the Alpha a lot, he leapt back up and charged at Scott. Punches and kicks flew between both the wolves, both at times getting the better of the other one. Scott dodged backwards as a set of razor sharp claws skimmed his cheek, he saw the other set that was about to be embedded into his chest, there was no time to dodge it.
As if it were perfectly timed, an arrow whirled past Scott and buried itself deep into Ethan's right shoulder, he winced back in pain. Then Ethan looked down to notice electric sparks coming from the arrow, it kicked in to life, sending currents of electricity throughout Ethan's body. He collapsed to the floor in immense pain, Scott looked back towards Allison and flashed her a smile as if to say thank you. Scott ran towards where Ethan was writhing around in pain delivering a devastatingly uppercut to Ethan's jaw.
Isaac rolled out of the way as Aidan's foot came towards him, slamming it into the ground, cracking the concrete floor. Isaac managed to get back to his feet and regain balance, he dusted himself off, glancing briefly towards Scott and Ethan. He was holding his own. Isaac took a deep breath and threw himself at Aidan, taking him down the floor. Isaac pinned Aidan down under his self and began to punch him repeatedly hoping that maybe he could do enough damage to knock Aidan out. He looked down at Aidan's bloody face, only to be shocked by the fact that he was smiling. Is he actually enjoying this? Isaac wondered. Suddenly Isaac found he was no longer in control as Aidan had freed an arm and now had Isaac by the throat, he picked himself off the ground still grasping Isaac by the neck. He pushed him backwards and delivered a kick to his stomach, which sent Isaac hurtling backwards.
Scott's attention was now on Isaac as he heard him crash against the ground, he went to run to aid his friend, only to be stopped as Ethan punched Scott in the back. It felt like something snapped but Scott still picked himself back up off the floor. Ethan and Aidan were now walking towards each other, he knew he had to stop them, they weren't allowed to merge. He looked towards Allison who was preparing to fire her bow again and then towards Isaac who had just picked himself back up off the floor and began to run towards the twins, Allison fired off her arrow. Scott looked on in horror as he realised what was about to happen.
Isaac at full speed, punched Aidan in the face, sending him flying into his twin brother. The arrow that Allison had fired soared through the air and caught Isaac in the back of his shoulder. He grabbed at it, then gave Allison a piercing stare.
"Isaac pull it out" she screamed, but it was too late, the electric currents had set off, driving Isaac to the floor. Scott looked back at Allison with an expression of shear anger. His attention was snapped away from Allison and back toward the twins, who despite Scott and Isaac's best efforts, were now merging. Scott ran over to Isaac and pulled the arrow out of his back and threw it to the other side of the room
"You ok?" he asked, wrapping one arm around his chest to help lift him to his feet again
"I've had worse days" Isaac replied, wiping some blood away from his mouth with his cardigan sleeve. He tried to flash a smile at Scott, but he was honestly in a lot more pain than he actually wanted to admit.
"My car" yelled Allison, as she tossed her car keys through the air towards Stiles, "third floor, the arrows are in the trunk" she continued. Stiles fumbled with the keys and darted towards the elevator.
"C'mon. C'MON!" he screamed Stiles as elevator slowly made its way down. It finally opened and he rushed his way through the doors, hammering the third floor button, the doors closed and the elevator whirled into motion playing some overly cheerful elevator music.
"THIS REALLY ISNT HELPING" he screamed, getting more and more fidgety. The doors whirled open and Stiles ran out randomly tapping the lock button on the keys that Allison had thrown to him. SUCCESS! He heard the beep of the car unlocking and without hesitation, ripped open the trunk of the car. He gasped, there was nothing there.
"No no no no NO!" he waved his hands around the empty space to see if he was missing something. His hand hit a button and the base shifted, Stiles pulled the base out to reveal an array of arrows. He grabbed some marked flash and some marked high voltage and darted off towards the lift again peering over the side of the ledge to try and get a glimpse of how his friends were doing. "This isn't good"
Isaac ducked as a giant claw tore through the air towards his face, he managed to drive his left set of claws into the beasts arm and kick it in the stomach, there was no reaction. It tossed him aside as if he were as light as a feather. He landed with a deafening thump. Scott was now all over the beast landing blow after blow but not getting any response from the twins merged form. Instead it laughed at him, grabbing him by the throat and lifting Scott high into the air. Scott struggled against the beasts grip, driving his claws into its hand but nothing was working, he kicked and thrashed about but nothing would stop him. Isaac was back on his feet, he looked over to where Scott was being held, a uncontrollable rage filled him to the very core. Isaac let out a devastating roar, this seemed to get the Alphas attention. It threw Scott to the other side of the car park, smiling at Isaac as he slowly began to walk towards him.
"Allison..Arrows..." Stiles panted as he sprinted towards where Lydia and Allison were help up behind a few cars. Allison snatched the arrows off him and took aim.
"I-I cant get a clear shot" she cried, trying to aim in between Isaac and the Alpha, she could feel beads of sweat trickling down her neck, she had to do something, Isaac was about to be torn apart if she didn't do something fast. DO SOMETHING her internal voice screamed.
"ALLISON" the familiar, disappointed yell took her by surprise, she turned to see her mother stood by her, looking down on her "what are you doing? You can't even shoot a simple arrow?" her voice was cold, and it cut through Allison like knives
"I'm trying" Allison cried "I can't get a clear shot"
"Always full of excuses, you want to run around and play hunter but when it comes to protecting the people you love, you fail" her mother snarled. Allison turned away to avoid her mother seeing her cry "You can do this. Your an Argent! Its in your blood. Now clear your mind, breath and take the shot" Allison closed her eyes and took a deep breath, clearing her mind and shutting out all the sounds that bellowed around her. She opened her eyes, and fired.
The arrow whirled threw the air and smacked the Alpha in the face emanating a fierce bright light. The beast fell backwards, separating the twins. Allison looked up to where her mother was stood to get her approval, but she was gone. She was never really there.
Scott and Isaac had grouped together again and were ready to end this. The twins were just picking themselves back up off the floor as Scott and Isaac ran towards them, claws stretched out. This was their chance. Scott landed a bone crunching punch to Ethan's face sending him rolling backwards. He turned to smile at Isaac but what he saw, made his eyes grow wide in fear. Aidan had lifted Isaac up off his feet by driving his claw deep in to his stomach. Aidan turned and smiled at Scott as he pushed Isaac back and delivered a kick to his chest that was so loud it echoed around the entire car park.
"ISAAC" Scott screamed as he ran towards the motionless body of his friend. Stiles had rushed towards Isaac as well and had slid down on the floor next to him.
"I've got him" Stiles look of concern was over-whelming but he tried to flash Scott a smile as though everything was going to be ok. Lydia and Allison had also made their way over, Allison rapidly firing arrows at Aidan as they did, she wasn't focused enough to aim, but it was slowing the Alpha down.
Scott turned away from Isaac to face Aidan. Scott had always been very good at controlling his emotions but something had snapped now, his anger, his pain had took over and consumed him. His eyes went from their usually shade of orange to a deep intense red. He pushed himself away from the ground with such force, it cracked behind him as he ran faster than he ever had before. He collided with Aidan with such force, hurtling the Alpha back towards where Ethan was still laying. Scott shook his head in disbelief at what just happened and his eyes returned to orange
"ENOUGH" came a deafening bellow, Scott looked to where the voice had came from.
"Deucalion" roared Scott. The twins picked themselves up off the floor, and made their way to where their leader was stood.
"He's not ready yet!" Deucalion spoke to the twins, but then he turned his attention on to Scott, "but I don't think it will be much of a wait" he smirked at Scott and turned to walk away, the twins following directly behind. Scott stood still for a minute breathing heavily, debating if he should pursue them. His train of thought was broke by the sounds he heard coming from behind him.
"Oh god" he heard Stiles whisper, Lydia was sobbing heavily. Scott turned, the orange glow fading from his eyes, and looked a Allison who was also shedding tears. Scott shook his head with a look of confusion and disbelief, Allison replied by clutching her necklace with one hand and wrapping the other around her stomach, she shook her head back at Scott as a river of tears began to fall from her eyes.
"No NO NO" Scott raced over to where they were all congregated, and placed a hand on Stiles' shoulder. Allison placed her hand on the back of Scott's shoulder to offer him some comfort, but instead he pulled himself away from her. Stiles looked up at his best friend, for once he couldn't find any words, no humour, he simply turned his gaze back towards Isaac and wiped away the tears from his cheeks. Scott's world came crashing down around him, this is what Boyd had felt that night with Erica, this was the pain that love caused. Scott threw his head back and howled, the sound was full of pain and was mixed with tears. He place his head on Isaac's chest, his eyes were wide and bloodshot. He couldn't be dead, He just couldn't be.
