WARNING: shit's about to get REAL!
Chapter 5 : episode 11 (Alpha Pact)
Isaac, Chris, Chris, and Allison all watched as Stiles' jeep pulled up in front of them.
Derek, Cora, and Boyd were the only ones to get out.
"Where's Scott and Stiles?" Allison asked immediately, when Derek got out and went to Mackenzie.
"Stiles is still at the hospital. He's gonna hold off the cops for us." He yelled out. He gently picked Mackenzie out of the car. "we have to go, right now." He told them as he carried her towards the jeep.
"What about Scott and Melissa?" Chris asked as Boyd opened the back door and helped him lay Mackenzie down so Mackenzie's head was in Cora's lap.
"Jennifer took Melissa." Derek wold them as he closed the car door. Everyone was stunned.
"What about Scott?" Allison asked. Derek ignored her and walked around the jeep to get into the driver's seat. "Derek, Where's Scott?!" She asked him again, taking a stop forward.
"He joined Deucalion." Boyd told her when Derek ignored her again and got into the jeep. Boyd and Isaac followed him, and they left.
Mackenzie started coughing in pain again, as Derek watched with tears in his eyes, his hands clasped together in front of his mouth.
Cora sat on her other side, stroking her hair, as Boyd stood behind her with a hand on her shoulder.
"She's dying, isn't she?" Isaac asked bluntly. Derek didn't move as he answered.
"I don't know."
"What are you gonna do?" He asked. Derek moved his hand, but kept his eyes on Mackenzie.
"I don't know." He repeated.
"Wanna figure something out? Because while Scott and Stiles were out there, trying to help people from being killed, you were
in here," He pointed to the bed Mackenzie was laying on, "rolling around these sheets with the actual killer." He Derek didn't respond, Isaac kept going.
"Do you get how many people she's killed? Erica is dead. Boyd was killed, and Mackenzie is the only reason he's here now. Mackenzie is dying. And you are doing nothing!" He ended in a yell. Derek still didn't respond.
"Why did you do this to us, Derek?" Isaac asked. "Is it all about the power?" He asked, tears clouding his vision. "Were you bored?" he stepped closer to Derek. "Were you lonely?" he asked him. This time, Derek slowly turned to look at him.
"Maybe." He answered. Isaac stood up and walked in a circle. " I told Mackenzie, I wouldn't leave. " He told Isaac, his eyes now focused on Mackenzie again. "I'll help the others, when I figure out how to help her." He said.
"There's no time!" Yelled Isaac. "The full moon's coming. The sheriff and Melissa are gonna be dead so I'm gonna try and help them." He opened the loft door. "You can sit here and perfect the art of doing nothing." Isaac spat before slamming the door shut.
Cora and Boyd looked at Derek for a moment before they turned their attention back to Mackenzie.
"I wouldn't take it personally." Peter threw his two cents in. They didn't bother to look up when he spoke. "Anger is just a tool. He's using it to excuse, shifting allegiance from one alpha to another." He told Derek. When Derek looked at him, he felt the need to clarify. "From you, to Scott." He leaned against the desk.
"Scott's not an alpha yet." Cora said.
"But he's on his way, isn't he?" Peter answered.
Derek grasps Mackenzie's arm and begins leaching off her pain when she starts struggling to breath. He keeps going until she takes a deep breath, and breathes normally again.
"Careful." Peter warned him.
"Don't worry. I know. Going too far could kill me." He answered Peter, still panting from the pain.
"That's not exactly what I meant." Peter told him.
"I've heard, it's something only an alpha can do." Peter explained to the werewolves staring at him, while constantly glancing back at Mackenzie."And with good reason."
"Which is?" Boys asked.
"You know, normal wolves never abandon an injured member of the pack." He started to explain. "They care for it. They bring it food from the kill, they regurgitate it into the mouth of the injured wolf. They even give it physical and emotional comfort by intensely grooming it. In a way, they can do more than just, ease pain. They can be instrumental in healing their own." He looked Derek in the eye.
"Why does any of this matter?" cut in an angry Cora. "She's not a werewolf. Things don't work the same!" She yelled in frustration.
"If she is family to the Alpha, she is Pack. And so she can be treated, as any other pack member would be."Peter explained patiently.
"If you're trying to tell me I can save her, just tell me." Derek demanded.
"I'm telling you..." Peter paused. "I've heard it's possible."
Derek started towards Mackenzie, but Peter stuck an arm out and stopped him.
"I can understand, not seeing a downside to this, seeing as you haven't exactly been Alpha of the Year, but think about what else you'll be loosing." he warned Derek.
"I don't care about power." The three other werewolves looked towards Derek, who spoke with his eyes focused on Mackenzie. "Not anymore."
"What about the power to fight back?" Peter challenged him. "Correct me if I'm wrong, but Kali's ultimatum still stands, and the full moon's tomorrow night. And if you couldn't beat her as an alpha, how do you think you're gonna fare as a beta?" He asked Derek, mockingly.
Derek looked at him before answering. "I don't care."
"What if," Peter starts, "this is exactly, what Jennifer wanted to happen? She would know the only way for you to save Mackenzie, would be to give up your power. Maybe that's what she was gonna have you do at the hospital." Peter challenged. Derek turned to him.
"Why?" He asked.
"So that you wouldn't be able to face the Alphas, without her." Peter said forcefully. "She wants you to come to her. It's all part of her little seduction, and she is still seducing you." He ground out. "She needs you, on her side."
Derek continued to look at him for a second, before turning his head to look at Mackenzie.
Peter slid the loft door open to reveal Lydia.
"You." She said.
"Me." Peter said back.
"You." she repeated.
He looked down and sighed before repeating, "Me." he then looked up and called out Derek's name. "We have a visitor." He yelled.
"You don't know where it is? But Stiles said you'd been there." Lydia accused Peter.
"We have." He agreed. "But after a few memorable experiences there, Talia-Derek's mother, my older sister-decided she didn't want us ever going back. She knew how dangerous it was and took the memory of it's location from us." He explained.
"But, then how are we suppose to find it?" Lydia asked, getting worried.
Mackenzie started coughing in pain again.
"It's gotta be now. I don't have a choice." Derek told them. Her breathing got heavier.
"You always have a choice." Peter corrected. "It's whether or not you can live with the consequences. Facing Kali, as a beta."
"It's not just the full moon coming.' Derek was the one to do the correcting this time. "It's the Lunar Eclipse." Mackenzie's eyes opened just enough for them to see them roll back into her head. "We'll all be powerless." Derek finished as he watched her.
Derek gently stroked the hair out of Mackenzie's face as her body started to move with the force of her labored breathing.
Boyd held Cora, and Peter stood beside them, as they watched Derek and Mackenzie.
Derek softly grasped her hand in both of his and stared at her for a moment, as the others held their breath and waited.
And soon they saw dark veins shooting all the way up both of Derek's arms, as he started grunting and groaning from the pain, but continued.
Mackenzie's eyes popped open in time for her to see Derek's eyes become red and his canines grow as he opens his mouth in a pained yell. Her back arches softly and her mouth opened wide from the feeling. Her back arched further and further.
The others stared in awe.
Derek threw his head back as an agonized howl burst passed his lips, and his eyes went from a vibrant red, to an electric blue.
But what shocked them to their very cores, was when her eyes turned bright red.
Ohhhhhh snap!
