Expedition to nowhere
Getting past my family was the easy part as they trusted me as I seemed to be on their side but I was worried about how Stiles was going to get past the watchful eye of Derek. I personally had nothing against Derek but I didn't want him coming with us as he would just end up ruining it somehow and I didn't trust him. My dead cousin told me while I was on the other side that I should trust Derek but the only person who I wanted with me was Stiles.
To try and get him away I text him telling him to meet me on the outskirts of the town and we would make our to find my dad. I knew Stiles could locate my dad but honestly the further away he was the longer I would be away from his volatile family.
It had been at least an hour and Stiles hadn't turned up and then my phone went off saying Derek wouldn't let him leave the house unsupervised. I either had to let Derek come with us or go off on my own but I would probably need back up so I reluctantly told Stiles to bring Derek with him. I had to learn to trust Derek and if that meant him coming with us then so be it.
I saw Stiles approach me but Derek was nowhere in sight but I could smell him. The reluctant Derek wandered out of the shadows looking like he was ready to fight.
"Derek I'm not going to hurt you so please put the claws away."
"You killed Isaac."
"Well yes but he is fine."
"How is being dead fine?"
"Stiles brought him back."
Derek turned and glared at Stiles. I knew that Stiles hadn't told anyone so Derek's reaction wasn't a surprise.
"He what, but what the hell is going on Scott and why did you want Stiles?"
"I will tell you but not until we are on the road as my family can probably hear me."
We got into my mum's car which I temporarily borrowed for the day and began to drive. I had no idea where we were going but I just needed to be out of my families hearing range before I could talk to Derek or Stiles. I pulled into a lay by on the side of the road and got out of the car shortly followed by the pair of them.
"Scott, why are we here?"
"I am going to find my dad."
"Why does your family want you to kill him as well."
"My humanity isn't off Derek."
"It has to be you switched it off."
"And then I put it back on again, I needed my family on my side so they would trust me and now they do."
"You're lying."
"He isn't Derek, his humanity is back on and it has been since Isaac was dead temporarily."
"How do you know?"
"I have always known, I told you not to give up on Scott, he always has a plan."
"So what now then, enlighten us what your big plan is Scott."
"I don't know but for now I need to get my dad back and see what is going on with him."
"You trust him Scott."
"Nobody trusts anyone which seems to be a reoccurring problem Derek but you worked with him to get me out so don't you want to hear him out."
"Well do you know where he is?"
"That is what Stiles is for."
"What can he do?"
"I have my Dad's car key s and Stiles can locate him."
"I hate to admit Derek but Scott is right."
"I know he is but why didn't you tell me what was going on?"
"As at the time the less people who knew the more chance it had of working."
"Are you sure it has worked?"
"Well they let me out here on my own didn't they so I guess they do."
"Whatever let me just work out where his dad is and then we can be on our way."
Stiles collected everything he needed from his bag and we used the map in the front of the car but he also needed my blood so he slit the palm of my hand and the blood dripped into a puddle on the map. He gripped my dad's car keys tightly in his hands and began to chant something. To me it sounded like gibberish but obviously it was a spell as the puddle of blood started to travel round the map until settling on one spot.
"Where is that?"
"It's in the next town about an hour away from here."
"And where in the town is he?"
"I don't know Scott the map isn't specific enough but when we get there you should be able to sense him."
We got back into the car and drove for about an hour in silence. Not even Stiles and I spoke it was awkward. I don't believe that Derek fully trusted what was going on but I didn't blame him due to what had happened. I had never been out of Beacon Hills until today but it wasn't a pleasure journey this was more of a business trip.
Where we ended up was a bit deserted so finding my dad shouldn't be too hard. Well that was before we started trying to look for him. We wondered through the whole town every street, every close every open space and we couldn't find him anywhere.
"Where is he then Stiles the map says he is here."
"He is here Scott we just haven't found him yet."
"We have looked everywhere Stiles."
"That's the problem okay just wait and your dad will come to us."
"I don't think we need to wait Stiles and Scott he's over there."
There was a man hiding in the shadows on the corner of the street and it was my dad, when he noticed that we had seen him he started to move away but I wasn't having any of that. We started to follow him but at a slightly quicker pace than he was walking. If we started to chase him then he would out run as because no offence to Stiles but he isn't the fastest person alive so instead we thought it was better to look like a group of creepy stalkers.
We walked for at least half an hour following my dad round the town until he eventually stopped and waited for us. I don't fully understand why people do this as first they walk away from you and then they decide that actually I will wait for you to see what you want. We caught up with my dad and he didn't look excited to see me, he looked scared.
"Dad."
"Scott, my dad send you here to bring me back."
"No as firstly if he did would I be here with Stiles and Derek."
"No, well what is it that you want Scott."
"For you to come back to Beacon hills."
"Why would I do that my family will want to kill me?"
"No they promised me they wouldn't because you are my dad and I want you back not them."
"Look you need to leave Scott before you kill someone."
"Well it's a bit late for that as I did and then Stiles brought him back from the dead and they believe I turned my humanity off but I haven't and now I need you back to help me."
"Look my family will hurt me Scott, I know them better than anyone."
"Look I need you to help me, as I need to get out of there and I don't know how."
"There is only one way out of there Scott and I'm afraid I can't help you."
Michael's point of view:
Scott was up to something one minute he hated his dad and the next minute he wanted his dad back. There was something wrong with that and I was determined to get to the bottom of it. My brother wasn't to be trusted and now I could see Scott was going the same way. My dad had also agreed to let Scott go and get his dad but there had to be some underlying motive to his actions.
"Dad."
"What is it Michael?"
"Some things wrong I can feel it."
"What an earth are you going on about?"
"Scott."
"He is after his dad."
"yes but there has to be something else as well."
"Why can't you trust the boy, he is on our side Michael."
"No he isn't as I don't think he has told us the truth about what is going on."
"Well what do you want me to do, check through his memories."
"No as he can push things to the back of his mind."
"Well what do you expect me to do then? I trust the boy he is on our side he killed one of his own."
"I know you trust him and I want to trust him but I can't, his dad betrayed him and us and now he wants his dad back."
"It is his dad at the end of the day he was vacant for most of his life and now he has him back of course he is going to want him back, just leave Scott to me Michael don't interfere I see a great future for my grandson in this pack and I don't want you ruining things."
I don't care what my dad was saying Scott was up to something as when we did our research on Scott it turned out he always had a plan B as he defeated Deucalion without killing him and we had been after that man for years. So what is to stop Scott from having a plan B this time round?
Scott's point of view:
"What do you mean you won't help me?"
"I just won't help you."
"You tell me your family are ruthless and that you want rid of them but you won't help me eliminate them."
"No as there is only one way to eliminate them."
"Tell me, you don't have to help me but at least tell me."
"No I will not tell you."
At this point I was visibly angry and I had the most self control, Derek on the other hand was about to wolf out but then he remembered we were out in the public's eye. He charged up to my dad and pinned him against a wall. My dad didn't fight but was about to, Derek let go of him putting him down on the floor.
"Look you know I don't like you James but I like Scott and I need your son to help me."
"I don't care Derek."
"Just tell us how we need to get rid of them or to get Scott out."
"I said there is only one way."
"Which is what?"
"To kill them, in order to get Scott out you need to kill them, all of them."
