Author's Note: So someone reviewed saying that I needed to get them together soon. Well we're almost there. Trust me, I've had this whole thing played out in my head from the very beginning. I can't wait for them to get together either. So here's one more chapter to get us closer.
oooooooooo
Chapter 18
Stiles POV
I slowly worked my way through all the buildings in the area. Finding the pack seemed like it was going to be nearly impossible to do, but I had to do it. I had to make it there before the fighting began or I might be too late to do any good.
Running through the area I thought about my plan again. I just needed to find a place that I can keep an eye on the fighting while remaining out of sight. That sounds like an oxymoron or something, but it's what I need to do. Hopefully I could find a randomly placed pile of crap that I can hide behind but still have a clear view. There always seems to be random piles of crap in the movies. I know that movies are not the same as real life, but I am about to witness a fight between a rogue werewolf pack and a wolf pack with the help of hunters. I think it's ok for me to rely on movies for some guidance.
I know that they said they were going to lead them in through the north side so that is where I started running towards. I hear a car coming and I jump to hide behind a dumpster. Ha, I knew that I could trust on there being random crap to hide behind. I recognized the car as being Allison's father's so I figure that it would be smart to follow him. Hopefully he wouldn't notice a teenager following him in a hopefully sneaky manner.
After a while I finally saw where everyone was headed. I couldn't find anything to hide behind, but I did notice that one of the doors to an adjacent building was open. I snuck inside and strained my ears in an attempt to hear what was being discussed. I was able to get bits and pieces of what they were saying. It seems like they were about to send Isaac and Scott out to lead the wolves in, turning on the emitters as they ran.
I looked out the doors and saw Isaac and Scott run off. Everyone else headed inside the building. The hunters were already equipped so they turned away from their cars. I figured that they wouldn't notice if someone was sitting inside of them while they were busy. I ran there and found that one of the SUVs was empty. This was the perfect place to hide while keeping an eye on everything. Who needs random crap to hide behind when you can do it from within the comfort of a giant SUV?
For about 15 minutes there was nothing to do besides look in on Derek as he was talking to Mr. Argent. It looks like they were formulating some kind of plan, but I could no longer hear anything that was going on outside.
I was just starting to reach a state of catatonic boredom when a howl caught my attention. I knew that howl anywhere; it had to have been Scott, which means the fight was headed towards them.
A couple minutes later I see figures emerge from the woods, all of them running on all fours. Scott and Isaac were being chased by a large pack of wolves. I did a quick count and saw 7 wolves, which, if our intel was correct, meant that the entire pack was coming to the fight. There was no need to cover the southern border, but I'm pretty sure Derek knew that.
The second the wolves enter the warehouse they are pelted with arrows. Many are hit right away, but some realized the danger and were able to dodge them. Two headed up to where the hunters were perched above. Knowing that was where Allison was, I was worried, but she's always been kick-ass so I figured that there was no point to worry.
I turned my attention back to the main fight. I saw there were 3 bodies on the floor already, 2 wolves and 1 hunter. Just as I went to look for Derek, another two bodies fell. One was a hunter, the other a wolf. It was the wolf that stood up. I really hope that wasn't Allison. I know it seems like I'm more focused on Derek or Scott being hurt, but I don't want anyone else that I care about getting hurt either. They're all my pack.
I looked around and noticed that the numbers were slowly moving into the other pack. Scott and Isaac were taking on two wolves, working together to take them out. The hunters were focusing on two more. Cora and Peter were working on one. Derek was by himself fighting the Alpha. My pack was outnumbered.
Everyone was busy fighting, then something caught my attention that had me shuttering. One of the wolves was missing. The pack was so busy fighting their own battles, they didn't have time to keep count as to what was going on. I had to act. They were outnumbered as it was, but now they were unaware of just how outnumbered they were.
I slowly moved out of the car and pulled the handheld crossbow out that I brought with me. I lined up to fire at one of the wolves facing the hunters and fired. I hit it right in the chest and it fell to the floor. The hunters looked around quickly to see where the shot was fired from, but quickly needed to focus their attention back on the fight.
I didn't have time to celebrate because just then the missing wolf began to approach Derek from behind. Before I knew what was happening, I found myself running into the warehouse firing at the wolf, taking it down quickly. Derek turned to me and looked pissed, but quickly kicked the alpha while turning to slice through the wolf that I hit. I turned and fired at the wolf fighting Peter and Cora, stopping it just enough so that Peter could make the final blow.
I saw that I had helped turn the odds in our favor. I felt as if I had just proven my argument that I am more of an asset than a hindrance.
"STILES!" I hear Derek scream my name. I was just about to turn to him when a blinding white pain shoots through my back. My breath catches in my chest and I feel the strength in my legs dissipate. My legs collapse and I feel myself falling towards the ground. The last thing I think about right before I pass out is that Derek will never let me live this down.
oooooooooo
Author's Note: Dun Dun Dun! Muahaha. I hope you liked this chapter. I'm going to be honest, I prefer chapters with more dialect, but he can't really be talking when he's trying to be all stealthy. I will post the next chapter soon. At least I hope I will be able to. Please Review :)
