Alice was lead back the Argent house, she growls as she walks up to the door and forcibly kicks it open, she walks inside, hunters came at her, but she threw the away with ease. She smell the house and found Stiles's scent coming from the basement. She walks to the door and kicks it open, letting out a roar, Gerard stops hitting Stiles and looks up at her, Alice walks slowly down the step. Claws grazing against the cement wall, Gerard moves away from Stiles and looks at her as she stood ground level to him.
Gerard went to throw a punch a her, but she caught his wrist with ease, Gerard looks at her as she slowly twisted his arm, making him fall to knees. "Alice you wouldn't hurt an old man, would you?" Gerard asks her, she raises an eyebrow at him, "You and I both know you're no old man." she growls. Raises her fist and knocks the him out, sending him to the floor. "And yes, yes I would." she then looks at Stiles. "Stiles." she walks over to him and pulls him to his feet. "You okay?" she asks with concern, "Yeah, cuts and bruises, but I'll live." he tells her. She then looks at Boyd and Erica. Pulls out her knife and cuts them free of the electric wires. They both pull of the duct tape, "Thank you." Erica tells her, "Run, get out of Beacon Hill, both of you, run as far away as you can." she orders them, they nod and took of running, Alice walks over to Stiles.
Pulls his arm over her shoulders and helps him out of the Argent house. Alice shifted back to her human state, "Thanks for coming after me." Stiles tells her. She smiles, "That's what friends are for, I look after my friends." Alice tells him.
~8~8~8~
Then they walk up to his house and Alice knocks on the door, Mr. Stilinski opens the door and was in shock when he saw his missing son and Alice was steadying him to stand.
He pulls Stiles into his arms, Alice just smiles at them and Stilinski pulls her into the hug, thanking her for finding Stiles. Alice smiles and leans in close, they then pull away and Mr. Stilinski looks at Stiles bruise cheek and cut lip. "Who did this?" he ask with a stern tone, "The other team, the hated the fact they lost and beat Stiles up. I arrive and beaten them up pretty bad and got Stiles out just in time before any real damage was done." Alice tells him. Mr. Stilinski looks at her and place his hand on her shoulder, "Again, thank you Alice, for looking after him and for bring him home." he tells her, she smiles and shrugs. "I look after my friends, that's all." she tells him, then she left the house and took off for the Hale estate.
~8~8~8~
Alice walks up to the pouch and opens the door, Issac and Scott look and saw her, "Alice!" the two said and pull her into a hug. "Hi to you too." she giggles, they then pulled away. "Where did you go?" Scott asks her, "Oh nowhere, just follow Gerard who kidnap Stiles and had him in the basement." she tells him. They look at her. "Yeah, so I busted the front door open, knock out a good amount of hunters, broke the door to the basement, found Gerard, beating the crap out of Stiles, I knock Gerard out, got Stiles out and back to him dad." She tells him. "Wow." Issac states, Scott nods. She then walks up to Derek, he smiles at her, wrapping his arms around her waist lifting her up off the ground and press his lips against her. And soon after he set her back on the ground, "I sometimes found you very confusing." Peter mumbles and removes a step and pulls out a case of some sorts.
"What is that a book?" Derek asks him, Peter looks at him, "No it's a laptop. What century have you've been living in?" Peter states and open the laptop, Derek rolls his eyes. "A few days after I got out of the coma. I transfured everything we had, fortunately the Argents aren't the only one who keeps records." Peter then moves to the living room. Then Scott's phone rings, Issac and Derek walk into the room, Alice said behind and listen in.
"Hey mum, can't talk right now." Scott tells her. "Well yeah, I'm so freak out, I can barley talk either." Melissa tells him, "What's wrong?" Scott asks her, "Something, definitely something and I don't know what. I think you and Alice are going to want to see this for yourselves." she tells him, Alice took the phone from Scott, "Mum can you describable it to me?" Alice asks of her. "It looks like slim and he has claws." she tells her. Alice's eyes went wide and the phone went back to Scott. "He's encasing himself in his own venom." Alice whispers, the she pulls out her phone and calls her two friends for help.
~8~8~8~
The five arrive at the arrive at the place and were crowd around Jackson body. "What's happening to him?" Scott asks. "I don't know, I'd thought you were going to tell me. Is it bad?" she asks, "It's definitely not good, Kanimas like to cocoon themselves in their own venom, making itself the bait to draw the prey close, and when they try to remove the venom, they become paralysis and the Kanima will drop it's cocoon and feed off it's prey." Alice tells him, Melissa looks at her, "I did some reading about the supernatural a while back." she tells her mother. "And that's how you meet these two?" Melissa points at the two.
"Yeah, Matthew the Warlock, and Rosalie the Druid." Alice points to her friends they wave at her. She wave back at them, then Jackson twitches a bit. "Mum, zip." Scott asks of her, she sighs and starts to zip the body bag back up, but it get stuck at his chin. Jackson then hisses at her, Alice press his forehead back down, "Mum hurry, I can hold him for so long." Alice tells her and Melissa unstuck the zipper and Alice pulls her hand back just in time for the body bag was zip up and Jackson twitches in it. "Scott bring him to us." Derek said from Alice phone, and she had it on speaker. "Not sure if we have time for that." Scott tells him, as they all look at the twitching bag. "Oh, look they made an animation of it, maybe it's less frighting if we..." Peter states and they heard a shriek. "No not at all. We should probably meet them halfway." Peter states. "Scott, get him out of there now. Go now." Derek tells him, "Alright, see you soon, bye." Alice hung up the phone, Issac and Scott carry Jackson out.
~8~8~8~
Alice looks around the corner and saw a few people walk into the hospital, "Okay, come on." Alice whispers to them. Her and Rosalie were in front as Matthew was in the back, they quickly ran across the way and Scott drops his end of bag. Issac looks at him, "Are you for real?" Alice whispers at him, Scott quickly went to pick up the bag, but then a black SUV pulls up to them and the driver steps out. Alice looks at him in shock.
"You're alone." Alice states, he sighs. "More then you know." he tells her, "What do you want?" she asks. He sighs, "We don't have much in common, Alice, Scott. But at the moment we have a common enemy." he tells her, "That's why we're trying to get him out of here." Scott tells him. "I didn't mean Jackson." he states, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend." Alice mumbles. "And I know it was you who broke into my house, knock out and wounded skilled fighters, and knock out Gerard and set the two Betas free." Chris states, looking at Alice.
"I don't regret what I did or why, Stiles was in danger and I had to save him." Alice states, not deining the truth, "I know and that's why I'm going to help you." he tells her. Then he looks at the others. "Put him in the back." Chris tells them, Scott and Issac pick up the body bag and throws him in. They then hop into the black SUV and Chris drove off away from the hospital.
~8~8~8~
They then arrive at an abandon warehouse, they got of the car, Issac looks at the bag, "I think he stop moving." Issac states. Alice and Scott stood in front on the car, Alice stood in between Scott and Chris, "Where's Derek?" he asks them, Scott looks at his sister, then they both look in front of them, Derek was running towards them, on his hands feet, Scott looks at him, not amused. Derek then jumps, flips and lands in front of them. He looks up at Chris, eyes glowing red. Derek then slowly stood up, "I'm here for Jackson, not you." Chris tells him. "Somehow I don't find that very comforting" Derek tells him.
"Get him inside." Derek tells then, they all got back into the car and drive into the building, Issac and Scott pull him out of the back and set him down on the ground. "Where are they?" Scott asks him, "Who?" Derek asks him, "Peter and Lydia." Scott asks him, Derek said something as he stood over Jackson. "Whoa, okay, hold on a second. You said you know how to save him." Scott states, as Derek zips open the bag. "We're pass that." Derek tells him,
"What, what about.." Scott tries to argue, "Think about it Scott, Gerard controls him now. He's turns Jackson into his own personal guard dog. And he set all of this in motion so that Jackson could get even bigger more powerful." Derek tells him. Rosalie, Matthew, and Alice exchange looks. "No, no he wouldn't do that. If Jackson's a dog, he turning rabid and my father wouldn't let a rabid dog live." Chris tells him. "Of course not." Gerard states, they all look at him. "Anything that dangerous, that out of control, is better of dead." Gerard tells them, Derek looks back at Jackson and was ready to slash his throat out.
But Jackson sunk his claws into Derek's belly, lifting him off the ground, Alice gasps, covering her mouth then Jackson throws Derek throws plastic curtains, "Derek!" Alice screams, turns back to Gerard and roars at him, face shifted. "Well done to the last, Scott, Alice." Gerard walks over to them. "Like the concerned friends you are. You brought Jackson to Derek to save him. But you didn't realize you were bring Derek to me." Gerard tells them, then an arrow went flying, Alice swerves as Scott ducks and it hits Issac in the shoulder.
He gasp and collapse to the ground. "Allison?" Scott question, then the twins ran over, pulled Issac to his feet, arms over their shoulders and they ran into the other room. Alice left Issac in Scott's care. Rosalie and Matthew meet up with her and the Warlock and Druid stood back to back. Alice flips over a pile of wood and lands on her feet and roars, seeing Chris being toss to the side like a rag doll. Then all the werewolves were shifted, Matthew made fireball appear from his hands and Rosalie was in a fighter stance, two daggers drawn. Then they charge at Jackson.
Derek block Jackson punch, right hooks him across the face, but then Jackson slashes at him. Then Scott claws at Jackson's chest from behind. Then Alice climbs up the construction, Issac grips Jackson's throat, but was toss away, then Alice jumps down, ramming him in the back. Jackson hisses at her, as he turns around. She went to left hook him, but Jackson grips her arm. Then her neck and threw her at the metal wall, she cartwheels off the walls and lands in front of Jackson, she lashes at him. But he caught her wrist and threw her at the wall again, she slams up against it and rolls away. Matthew threw a fire ball at him, making him step away from Alice Rosalie ran over and telepathy pushes him away. She then pulls her up onto her feet and Alice shook off the throw.
Scott kicks him in the back, slamming Jackson against the wall, he went to hit him. But Jackson kicks him away. Then Derek went to slash at him again, but Jackson slashes at him, paralyzing Derek. "Derek!" Alice ran up behind him and catches him in her arms, she lowers him to the ground cradling him in her arms, then they look over at Allison who had a killer look in her eyes. "Back off!" Alice roars at her, keeping her arm around Derek's shoulder, growling. Then Jackson came up behind her, grasping her wrist, making her drop her knifes and he then grips her throat. "Not yet, sweetheart." Gerard tells her, walking out of the shadows. "What are you doing?" Allison asks him. Gerard looks at her then the twins, "What he came here to do." Alice states, catching everyone's attention.
"Well of course you know, your brother smelt it off of me when I threaten your mother's at the hospital that night." Gerard states. "What is he talking about?" Allison asks Scott, he looks at her. "This was never about Kate, it was never a war. It was fluk." Alice tells them. "He's dying." Issac states. "I am, have been for a while now. Unfortunately science doesn't have a cure for cancer yet. But the supernatural does." Gerard looks down at Derek as Alice just growls at him. Then Jackson tightens his grips on Allison's throat. Alice stiffens. "You monster." Chris mumbles. "Not yet." Gerard smiles, "What are you doing?" Allison yells at him, a tear stream down her cheek. Then Jackson tighten his hand again. "You'll kill her too?" Chris questions his father, "When it comes to survival, I'd kill my own son." he tells him. Then looks at the twins. "Scott, Alice..." he taunts them. Alice growls but then slowly shifts back to her human states.
"What are you doing, Alice!?" Rosalie shouts at her, Matthew held her back. Alice kept her glaring gaze on Gerard as Scott helps her get Derek to his feet. "Scott... Alice... don't. You two know he's going to kill me right after and he'll be an Alpha." Derek please to them. "That's true, but I think they already know that, don't you Scott, Alice." Gerard states. Alice said nothing as she glares at Gerard. "Scott knows that the ultimate prize is Allison and Alice knows that her mother remains alive and unharmed. Do this task for me and Scott and Allison can be together, you are the only peace that doesn't fit, Derek." he states, Alice growls at him, fangs showing and eyes glowing. "And encase you haven't learned yet, there is no competing with young love." he states, Alice grips Derek's arm, he could hear her heart, beating with anger.
But she was holding herself back. Gerard removes his jacket and rolls up his sleeve. "Alice, please, don't do this." Allison begs of her, "Scott, don't do this. Don't." Derek pleas to him. "I'm sorry. But we have to." Scott tells him, then he reels back Derek's head. Making his mouth open wide. Gerard walks over to them, places his arm in Derek's mouth and Scott made Derek close down tightly on Gerard's arm, he screams in pain, Derek opens his mouth as Gerard pulled away. Scott lets go of Derek and Alice lowered him to the ground.
Her arms wrap protectively around Derek's shoulders as Gerard showed them the bite, but everyone's faces went to shock for what happened next, "What?" he looks at the bit and saw blood blood ooze out of the bite. "What is this? What did you do?" he looks at the twins, Derek looks up at Scott. "Everyone said Gerard had a plan. We had one too." Scott eyes his sister who was now smirking; Scott switch the containers of Gerard's pill. He opens it and then crushes them in his hand. "Mountain Ash." Gerard yells, then black blood started to ooze from his face. Gerard fell to his kneels and a waterfall of black blood vomits out his mouth. Everyone looks away, Alice bury her face into Derek's shoulder and Gerard then fell over. Alice lifted her head. "Why did you tell me?" Derek asks him, Scott looks down at him, "You may be the Alpha, but you're not mine and I made my sister swear not to tell you." Scott tells him, Alice then helps Derek to his feet. And everyone looks at Gerard, he spits out black blood.
"Kill them, kill them all!" he orders, Jackson, but Jackson was in a state of confusion, causing him to loosen his grip on Allison's throat. She then elbows Jackson in the face and she was pulled to the ground. Then out of nowhere, Stiles jeep rams through the door and slams into Jackson who shrieks in annoyance. Stiles opens his eyes and looks at the McCall twins, "Did I get him?" he asks. Scott and Alice chuckles and then Jackson jumps onto of hood of the jeep. He hisses at Stiles, both Stiles and Lydia got out on the passenger side, Stiles ran to Scott.
"Jackson!" Lydia stood in front of Jackson, he was going to strike at her. Stiles went to save her, but Scott held her back. Lydia then held out the key. Jackson then stops and looks at it, tilting his head and remembering, that he gave it to her' she was now in his half shifted Kanima form and took the key from her. He then backs away from her, looking at Derek. His arms held out, telling him to go ahead, then Derek pulls himself from Alice. Peter came out of hiding and they both stab him with their claws. Derek's were in front and Peter's were in back. Alice covers her mouth in shock, Rosalie turns away, pressing herself to Matthew. Hiding her face in the crook of his neck, Matthew held her in his arms. They two Hale Werewolves lifted Jackson from the floor, Jackson gags for air, then they both pulled away from him, Lydia ran over to him and lowers him to the ground. Jackson looks at her, Derek steps back, Issac and Alice step over to him. Derek pulls her in close by the waist and place a hand on Issac's shoulder.
"Do you... do you still..." Jackson asks her, "I do. I do still love you. I do, I do, I do still love you." she whispers to him, Jackson then laid his head against her shoulder and went limp. Lydia cries as she tells him that she still loves him. Alice turns away, hiding her face in Derek's chest. "Where's Gerard?" Allison asks, "He couldn't of got far." Chris said as he stood behind his daughter. Lydia then lays him down on the ground. The last of the Kanima skin shimmers away. She then stood up, wiping her tears and walks away from Jackson. But then Alice pulls out of Derek's chest, hearing a heartbeat from Jackson. She then pulls away. Jackson's claws scrap against the ground. Alice stood next to Lydia, the wound was suddenly healed. Jackson then opens his eyes, they glowed an electric blue. "Oh my god." Alice smiles, covering her mouth with both of her hands.
Jackson the stood up on his feet and slowly stood and he looks up and roars at the top of his lungs, Alice pulls away her hand as she giggles. The he was shifted back as himself, Lydia ran up to him and holds him tight in her arm. Alice turns to Derek and ran up to him, Derek was shock at first, but then holds her tight in his arms, "You save him, thank you." Alice whispers to him. Derek sighs and nudge his head against Alice's. She sniffles a little and laid her head on his shoulder. Knowing that a life wasn't just save, but also change.
~8~8~8~
Later in the morning. Alice was hand in hand with Derek, Issac was in front and Peter walk behind them as did Matthew and Rosalie who were also hand in hand. "You haven't told him everything yet, haven't you?" Peter asks of him. "What do you mean?" Issac asks him, Peter turns a bit, leaning against a tree. "Why do you think Derek was in such a hurry to build his pack? So eager to strength his power in number?" Peter asks him.
"When there's a new Alpha, people take notice." Matthew said and then looks over at Rosalie who shared his concerned look, "People like who?" Issac asks him. Then looks up at the door. "What is this? What does this mean?" Issac asks him, "It's their symbol and it means their coming." Derek tells him, "Who?" Issac asks, "Alphas." Derek tells him, "More then one?" Issac asks him, "Worse. A whole pack of them." Alice states, "An Alpha pack and they're not coming. They're already here." Rosalie states.
Issac looks back at the symbol painted into the door, Alice uses her other hand and gently grips Derek's arm, he uses his other arm and grips her wrist. Both knowing what was going to come over the horizon. Like the old saying goes:
The calm before the storm
