Shout out to nosferatufan, Lizzy, Stargazer1364, Michelle and Bri! Thanks for all the reviews guys! I actually like their fighting as well, it's sort of cute :3 You guys really don't want Erica dead so..i've listened to you reviewers ;) I don't know what to do with Isaac? You guys sort of hate him haha! I like the idea of teasing/flirting between them and Derek getting jealous, Scott getting mad etc but I don't know if I should take it any further than that? Maybe something happens before he leaves at the end of season 3b? Not sure? Enjoy!
Ashlee's p.o.v
We arrive at Derek's at 5, as promised. Stiles takes us through how the men robbed the bank back when it was still an actual bank. Stiles says we'll need a diamond-bit drill to get through the last wall. Derek says he can punch through it. We all know he can..expect for Stiles he thinks he'll get way with taunting him because we're all here. Derek ends up punching Stiles' hand, making him flail about, clutching his hand.
"Come here you idiot" I say. Stiles comes over and I take his hand, leeching his pain. "You should know by now not to provoke him" I check his hand for bruising. "If you question him, he gets angry" I see Derek look over at me and I meet his gaze. "He's a stubborn idiot" I tell Stiles.
"Don't poke the bear, got it" Stiles says. I let him go and he flexs his hand. "Thanks"
"No problem. Now, get back to being too smart for your own good" I say, pushing him back towards the maps. He writes down a few things, giving us a little information.
"I'll get through the wall. Who's following me down?" Derek asks. He looks over at Peter.
"Don't look at me, i'm not up to fighting speed yet. And honestly, with Isaac out of commission you're not looking at very good odds" Peter says.
"So i'm supposed to just let them die?" Derek asks.
"One of them is already dead" Peter says. I force myself to repress a growl.
"We don't know that" Derek says angerily. Peter then reminds us who we're up againist. He tells us we should be scared.
"I'm sure Erica and Boyd are sweet kids and they're going to be missed" Peter says.
"You didn't even know them!" I snap at Peter.
"It's not worth the risk" Peter says, meeting my eyes. I growl this time but stay glued to the spot. I'm not going to fight Peter..at least not when he can't fight back.
"What about you?" Derek asks.
"Me? Well, if you want me to come-" Stiles starts.
"Not you" Derek says.
"Scott, you probably meant Scott" Stiles nods, walking away from the table to go to the other side.
"I don't know about Erica but if Boyd's still alive we have to do something" Scott says. I hear Peter suck through his teeth. "We have to try" Scott turns to me. "Ash?" he asks. Before I can even reply, Derek does for me.
"She goes where you go" he says, eyes softening as he looks over at me.
"That's right" I say.
..
We walk to the side of the building, planning to go up and in through the roof. Scott glances at Derek.
"What?" Derek asks.
"Risk and reward" he says.
"Which means what?" Derek asks.
"We're not measuring the risk with enough information, we don't know enough" Scott says.
"It doesn't matter. They're in there so we're going in there too" I say, jumping and grabbing a bar to pull myself up with. "At least I am" I say.
"What if we're missing something, something that gets us hurt-" Scott tries.
"I know what i'm risking, my life for theirs. We have to get them out" Derek says, turning and jumping up beside me. Derek turns back to Scott. "I won't blame you if you don't follow me" he says. Scott looks over at me.
"Where she goes, I go" he sighs before jumping up as well. We squeeze through the tunnel made by the robbers.
"Okay, this fit is too tight" I say, starting to feel clastraphobic.
"No, not here, please don't have one here" Scott pleads.
"What?" Derek asks, turning to look back at us best he can.
"Nothing, just get us the hell out of here" I say, making myself breath in and out evenly.
"Ashlee-" Derek tries. I look up at him with glowing yellow eyes. I'm freaking out internally.
"Just go! Get us out" I say. It doesn't take long for him to punch through the wall, the three of us making it out. When i'm out, I start taking deep breathes.
"You okay?" Scott asks, coming to my side.
"I'm-i'm fine..I didn't think it'd be that small" I say. Scott rubs my back for a second before his phone starts ringing. I hear him talking to Stiles. Derek's looking at me with worried eyes. "I'm fine..promise" I say. Boyd walks out, growling lowly, eyes flickering yellow. My eyes widen when I hear what Stiles and Peter are telling Scott. We need to get out, very, very soon.
"Boyd..where's Erica?" I ask him. His eyes fall. "Boyd-" the other girl walks out next to Boyd.
"Cora?" Derek asks.
"Who?" Scott asks.
"Cora?" Derek asks again. Morrell closes the line of mountain ash and soon we're trapped, being attacked by 2 fast and very strong werewolves. All 3 of us get backed into a wall.
"You know her?" Scott asks.
"She's my sister, my younger sister" Derek says.
"What's she doing here?" Scott asks.
"How should I know? I thought she was dead!" Cora runs at Derek. Boyd stabs his claws into Scott, lifting him up. I jump on his back, trying to pull him off. Something grabs my leg and throws me off Boyd. It's Derek's sister, Cora. I see Derek trying to restrain her, not fight her. "Cora, stop!" he yells.
"Get off Derek!" she roars, throwing him to the ground. I run at Boyd again, blood dripping from Scott's mouth.
"No! Don't break the seal!" Derek yells. I look over and Allison's standing over it. I thrown into the wall.
"Boyd!" Allison yells, breaking it. Boyd and Cora rush past her, running away. Derek goes for Allison, I push past him and grab her.
"Don't touch her!" Scott yells at me.
"What were you thinking?!" I yell.
"I had to do something" she says, pushing me off her. I step forward again but Derek grabs my bicep, stopping me. I shrug out of his grip, glaring at Allison. Yeah, I definately still have a problem with her. I'm suprised Scott's forgiven her actions so easily. I know they aren't together but they're still friends or whatever.
"She saved our lives" Scott says.
"And what do you think they're going to do out there?" Derek yells at Scott. "Do you have any idea what we just set free?!"
"You want to blame me?!" Allison yells at Derek. "I'm not the one turning teenagers into killers" she spits.
"No, that's just the rest of your family" I say.
"I've made msitakes. Gerard was not my fault" she says.
"And what about your mother?" Derek asks her.
"What?"
"Tell her Scott" Derek urges.
"What does he mean Scott?" she asks. "What does he mean?"
"You should tell her" I say, walking away from the two.
"Where are you going?" Allison asks.
"To find Erica!" I snap.
"I know where she is" Allison calls out. I ignore her. I don't think Allison and I will ever get along, not after all the pain her and her family have caused us. I start looking through rooms and closets. I open a door and i'm hit with a strong smell of ammonia. I almost shut the door but my eye catches blond hair.
"Erica?" I call out. No response. "E-Erica?" I say, stepping forward. I reach out to touch her arm. "No, no" I whimper when she doesn't move. I swallow the lump forming in my throat and move so i'm in front of her. "Erica?" I call out quietly, tears slipping from my eyes. I lean in, trying to see under all her hair. I let out a loud scream when she jolts forward, gasping. "Erica!" I yell, patting her back and pulling her into a hug. I really, really thought she was dead.
"Ashlee?!" Derek yells, running into where we are. He skids to a stop when he sees his beta, looking like death himself, in my arms. "Erica?"
"Yeah..it-it's me" she says with a pained smile.
"Come on, we need to get you out of here. You look really sick" I say, helping her to stand. Derek has to help me as i'm shaking by the shock of the situation.
"Kali, she..she almost killed me" Erica tells us as we move towards where we left Scott and Allison. "Dumped me in there..expected me to d-die" she says weakly.
"You're okay though" I assure her. We find Scott and Allison, Allison's crying. Both heads snap to us, eyes widening when they see Erica.
"I saw you..you were..dead" Allison says.
"Pretty sure i'm-i'm still here" Erica smirks a little.
"We need to get her out of here, then go after Boyd and Cora" I say.
..
Stiles came and picked up Erica, offered to take her to his house to get her cleaned up. Derek, Scott and I are going after Boyd and Cora. Damn these two are fast. We've cornered them countless times but still no luck actually catching them. Isaac's with us now and we still can't catch them, can't seem to fight them off either, they just run.
"We need help. We need Chris" I realise what Scott's saying.
..
Derek, Isaac and I sit in the car as Scott approaches Chris.
"Do you think this is going to work?" Isaac asks Derek.
"Nope" he answers instantly.
"Me neither" Isaac says. It's quiet for a few seconds. I literally face palm at Isaac's next sentance..he really is an idiot. "So..your sister?" Isaac says, looking at Derek. Derek turns and stares down the younger boy. "Sorry, uh..bad timing, i'm sorry. I'll ask later, it's fine" Derek looks at him again and I can smell Isaac's fear. "Or never?" Derek nods. "Yeah, i'm good with never" we go back to silence. "At least you're still here" Isaac leans back and grins at me. I roll my eyes.
"You're an idiot" I say.
"But i'm cute, right?" Isaac asks, smiling. "You did say I was cute" His smile is cute and his baby blues are too but he's a douche.
"Scott will hear you one day and kick your ass" I inform him, not wanting to answer because they'd both know I was lying and well..I don't like Isaac like that and I don't want anyone getting the wrong idea and thinking I do.
"Well, until then.." Isaac doesn't finish his sentence. Derek's glaring at him, like he's murdering him with his eyes. And silence again. The only sound heard is my phone as I play Minecraft. I hear Derek sigh.
"We're just sitting here. I need something to do" I explain without looking at Derek.
"It's still a distraction" he says, not looking at me either.
"If you two are going to fight again but not use names, can I not be included this time?" Isaac asks. "It got super awkward last time-"
"Shut up Isaac" we say at the same time. We see Scott get into Argent's car. We follow them and Scott shows Chris the pool scene, Cora or Boyd or both have ripped out some innocent kid's throat. We make our way back into the preserve, Chris is going to help us. Chris lectures us, teaches us. He tells us how we can corner them, round them up.
"Thanks but, i've got my own" Derek says, flashing his eyes at Chris. The 5 of us walk up to the lookout.
"When's the last time you saw your sister?" Chris asks Derek.
"Not in years" he answers, somewhat sadly. "I thought she died in the fire" him and Chris share a look..a very awkward one.
"You think you've got a lock on her scent?" Chris asks. Derek shakes his head. Chris looks to Scott for help.
..
We've got a plan. We're going to trap them in the school, the boiler room in the basement. It's too late for anyone to be there so we're safe. Chris shows us these things called emmitters.
"Only werewolves can hear them" he says. All 4 of us have our hands over our ears.
"Dude?! Turn it off" I say. Chris smirks, tossing us some.
"Anyone wanna re-think the plan where we kill them?" Isaac asks.
"We're not killing Boyd. We're not killing Derek's sister. In fact, the only person i'm coming close to killing is you" I say, not much malice behind it. Isaac and I have a weird relationship. He flirts alot. Then I hate him, then he's funny, then I hate him again, then I respect him as a beta. It's confusing. The only thing certain between us is that I can kick his ass.
"Point taken" Isaac nods, smiling a little. We split up, planting the emmitters, coralling them to the school. I have to say, all of the boys, Isaac, Scott and Derek, do alot of unnecessary flipping. Like seriously, you can just jump off the bus, you do not need to do some fancy frontflip. I end up just with Derek, what a suprise.
"And the hunted become the hunters" Peter says from the shadows. I let Derek and Peter do their usual banter, argue. Derek tells his Uncle that Erica and Cora are alive and he tries to convince Derek to just kill Cora. But then flips it so it's Deucalion that wants him to kill Boyd and Cora so that Derek will join his pack easier? That he'll force him to finish what Kali started with Erica? What? I notice how glassy Derek's eyes are as he talks about Cora. How his voice breaks a little when he says she's going to kill innocent people. Peter doesn't say anything about it though. "Unless you're okay killing your own?" Peter says. I see Derek's jaw tick, he blinks back tears.
"No, i'm not okay with that. I can catch them" he insists. Cora's definately a touchy subject for him and Peter poking and prodding at it like he is is definately getting to Derek.
"You're still an alpha. You can always make more werewolves" Peter says. He gives me an unreadable look before disappearing again. Derek starts to run back towards the school.
"They're not going to die" I say, keeping up with him.
"I know" he says angerily.
"Hey" I say, fully stopping and grabbing him. He has angry tears in his eyes and I don't understand why but it's making me upset too. "You're not going to lose your sister" I promise him. He nods. We hear a howl, they're closing in on the school.
"We need to move" Derek grabs my hand and we take off for the school. I squeeze his hand in mine. When I think about it, we do this alot. Hold hands..it's weird..but cute..but weirdly domestic. I don't know about Derek but it's odd behaviour to say the least for me. Like I said before, I don't do cute. "Help Isaac outside, I need to be the one to lead them down to the basement" I nod and let his hand go, running outside. Isaac is just turning around to face the two out of control betas as I reach his side. We both get into fighting stances. Chris bleers the horn, cornering them with the car. They turn and run into the school, just as planned. Expect they're going over the school, just as not planned. I chase after Cora and Boyd and someone starts firing flash bulbs. They take off in the right direction again. And turn and see dark hair, nothing else. I run back into the school and down into the basement.
"Crap" I say when I walk right into Cora and Boyd. Suddenly we're surrounded by smoke. I hear quick footsteps and the heavy door shutting. Really? Only I would get locked in here. Both betas growl at me. I hear someone..someone else is in here too. I know it's female because she called out a typical, you're going to die, horror movie 'Hello?'. I slip out of their sight, what the hell am I going to do?
"Shut the door behind me and lock it" I hear Derek say.
"No, I have to come with you" Scott says.
"Ashlee is in there with them and some innocent person" Derek says. "Now, shut and lock the door behind me" he grounds out.
"I know, that's my sister! I'm coming in with you" Scott says.
"No" Derek says. "I'll bring her back-"
"And what if you don't?" Scott asks, I can hear his tears.
"You think i'd leave her in there?" Derek snaps.
"I don't know what you'd do" Scott says.
"You don't trust me with her?" Derek asks.
"I don't trust her with anyone but me anymore" Scott says.
"We don't have time for this" I hear Derek open the door.
"Either you two kill them or they kill you, someone is going to get hurt!" Scott says frantically.
"That's why i'm going in alone" Derek says.
"I know you don't care about us, but if you don't find her-" Scott starts.
"I care about both of you, especially her" Derek corrects him. It's silent. I hear the door close, the tumblers working as Scott locks it. I come out of my hiding place to see Cora and Boyd are stalking the teacher. Dammit. I roar, getting their attention. I run at both of them, waiting to feel some major pain but I don't. Derek's by my side, helping me. "Go! The teacher! Get her and go!" Derek says, holding Boyd down.
"You can't fight them alone?!" I say, holding Cora off.
"They'll kill her! Go!"
"Derek!"
"If they kill you, that's my fault! Get the teacher and go!"
"Derek, no!" I yell.
"Ashlee! Listen to me! Get out of here!"
"I'm not leaving you!" I know he's trying to protect me but i'm not just going to get the teacher and go.
"DO IT!" Derek roars, eyes flaring red. I feel myself submit. I run over to where she's locked the gate.
"Come on, I have to get you out of here" I say. The teacher shakes her head. "Fuck it" I say, kicking it in. I'm not in the mood for her to be scared and resist, they're hurting Derek back there. The teacher screams and I grab her arm, pulling her up. I start dragging her out, she's trying to escape my grasp. I look up and i'm instantly dropping the teacher and running towards Derek. He's holding them both back, both tearing at his stomach and chest. I watch as he falls to his knees. I growl out and throw them both away from him. He drops to the floor. "Hey, Derek?" I say, shaking him. He doesn't wake up. "Derek, wake up" I grab his chin, shaking his face. No response. "Derek!" I yell. I feel claws in my back, i'm dragged away from him and Cora and Boyd start attacking me. I feel myself blacking out. All of a sudden, they're both ripped away from me, knocked unconcious by Isaac and Scott.
"No! Ash?!" Scott yells.
"I'm-i'm fine..it-it's him, Derek's n-not..he won't wake up. He-" I black out before I even finish my sentence.

Did what you guys asked, Erica lives! I'm a little unsure what to do with her though? Will she stay and be apart of the pack again? Maybe she'll leave, the near death experience enough to scare her away from Beacon Hills. She could still be apart of the pack but in distance, she could come in every now and then..I don't know. I just didn't want to let you guys down :) An important one, what's going to happen when the alphas attack Derek? The scene where Boyd dies, what will happen with Erica? Let me know! Favourite, follow and review!
