Chapter 3
I do not own Teen Wolf in any way.
A/N-We start meeting some of the Wiltshire Pack in this chapter.
Paige found Isaac in their room.
Derek had let them move into the same room since they found out Paige was pregnant.
He had been sleeping ever since he got back from the hospital.
"Isaac?" Paige said softly.
Isaac rolled over and sat up against the headboard. "Hey you", he said.
She sat down between his legs.
"How do you feel?" she asked him.
"I feel like my insides were ripped out", he said.
"Well your son makes me feel like that every day", Paige groaned, "He's starting to move".
"Can I…?" Isaac asked.
Paige grabbed Isaac's hand and placed it on her lower stomach.
Isaac felt something kick his hand. He smiled and said, "What about a name?"
"Camden", she said.
"What?" Isaac asked shocked.
"The name in my dream. Camden", she told him.
"My older brother was named Camden", Isaac said, "He died in combat".
"I haven't decided on a middle name yet", she told him.
"Derek", Isaac suggested, "That way he's named for both our brothers".
"I love it", Paige said. She leaned up and kissed Isaac.
The next morning, Isaac paced by the large window. "You know, I'm starting not to like this idea. Sounds kinda dangerous", Isaac said.
"Can you please stop pacing? You're making me nauseous", Paige said, closing her eyes.
"You know what? I definitely don't like this idea, and I definitely don't like him", Isaac said as he continued to pace.
"You'll be fine", Derek told him.
"Does it have to be him?" Isaac asked, as he walked up to the table.
"He knows how to do it. I don't. Be more dangerous if I tried doing it myself", Derek said.
"You know Scott doesn't trust him, right?" Isaac asked.
"I'm related to him and I don't trust him", Paige said.
"You know, personally, I'd... well, I'd trust Scott", Isaac said.
"Do you trust me?" Derek asked him.
"Yeah. I still don't like him", Isaac said.
"Nobody likes him", the two siblings said.
Suddenly, the loft door opened.
Paige opened her eyes, hoping to see the pack, but it was just Peter.
"Children. F.Y.I., yes, coming back from the dead has left my abilities somewhat impaired, but the hearing still works. So I hope you're comfortable saying whatever it is that you're feeling straight to my face", Peter said.
"We don't like you", Derek said slamming the book in his hands, "Now shut up and help us".
Paige winced at the noise.
"Are you okay?" Isaac asked.
"Just werewolf pregnancy symptoms. Pregnant she-wolves have heightened emotions and senses to help them protect their pup", Derek explained.
Peter and Derek sat Isaac down in a chair.
"Relax. I'll get more out of you if you're calm", Peter said.
"How do you know how to do this, again?" Isaac asked.
"It's an ancient ritual used mostly by alphas, since it's a skill that requires quite a bit of practice. One slip, and you could paralyze someone. Or kill them", Peter said.
"You... You've had a lot of practice, though, right?" Isaac asked.
"Well, I've never paralyzed anyone", Peter said.
"Wait, does that mean that you...?" Isaac asked, but stopped when Peter jammed his claws into his neck. Isaac's eyes turned yellow and Peter's turned icy blue.
"Isaac!" Paige gasped.
Derek grabbed her arm, stopping her.
Isaac started to struggle more.
"Wait, I see them", Peter said. Peter suddenly ripped his claws out of Isaac's neck.
Derek let go of Paige and she ran to Isaac's side.
Isaac reached up and touched the back of his neck.
Paige nuzzled her mate's face.
"What'd you see?" Derek asked Peter.
"It was confusing. Um, im... images. Vague shapes", Peter said panting and flexing his hand.
"But you saw something", Derek said.
"Isaac found them", Peter told him.
"Erica and Boyd?" Derek asked.
"I barely saw them. I mean, glimpses", Peter said.
"But you did see them", Derek said.
"And worse", Peter said.
Derek sighed and said, "Deucalion".
"He was talking to them. Something about time running out", Peter explained.
"What does it mean?" Isaac asked.
"He's gonna kill them", Derek said.
Paige could tell her brother was worried about losing his betas.
"No, no, no, no, no, he didn't say that. He did make them a promise that by the full moon that they'd both be dead", Peter said.
"The next full moon?" Paige asked him.
"Tomorrow night", Peter said.
Isaac and Paige watched as Stiles, Scott, and Derek fill a tub with ice.
"Obviously, it's not going to be particularly... Comfortable. But if we can slow your heart rate down enough, you'll slip into a trance-like state", Deaton told Isaac.
"Like being hypnotized", Paige said.
"Exactly. You'll be half transformed. It'll let us access your subconscious mind", Deaton said.
Isaac knelt down beside the tub.
"How slow does his heart rate need to be?" Scott asked.
"Very slow", Deaton said.
"Okay, well, how slow is very slow?" Derek asked.
"Nearly dead", Deaton said.
Paige's heart stopped.
Isaac stuck his hand in the water and jerked it back out. "It's safe, though, right?" Isaac asked.
"Do you want me to answer honestly?" Deaton asked.
"No. No, not really", Isaac said. He stood up and Paige grabbed his arm.
She dragged him out into the lobby. "You can't do this", she told him.
"We have to find Erica and Boyd before tomorrow night", he said.
"I know that", she said frustrated, "I'm just worried".
Isaac took her face in his hands. "It's going to be okay. I promise you", he told her. He kissed her on the forehead and left her in the lobby.
Paige could the sounds of her mate struggling and her brother yelling.
It suddenly started storming.
Isaac kept repeating, "I don't wanna do that".
Derek suddenly yelled, "Paige!"
She ran into the room.
"Where's Paige?" Isaac asked.
"I'm right here Isaac. It's okay. I'm right here", she told him, placing her hands on his face.
Isaac instantly calmed.
She looked at Deaton and nodded.
"Now let's go back to that night. To the place you found Erica and Boyd. Can you tell me what you see? Is there some kind of building? A house?" Deaton asked.
"It's not... it's not a house. It's stone. I think marble", Isaac said.
"That's perfect. Can you give me any other descriptors?" Deaton asked.
"It's dusty, so empty", Isaac said.
"Like an abandoned building?" Deaton asked.
The lights started flickering and Isaac's hand shot and grabbed onto Scott's forearm.
"Someone's here. Someone's here", Isaac said.
"Isaac, relax", Deaton told him.
"No, no, no, they see me, they see me!" Isaac said starting to thrash around.
"Just memories. You won't be hurt by your memories. Just relax. Relax. Good. Now tell us what you see. Tell us everything", Deaton said once Isaac calmed down.
"Boyd, I hear him. He's talking about the full moon, about being out of control when the moon rises", Isaac told them.
"Is he talking to Erica?" Deaton asked.
"I think so, I can't... I can't see her, I ca... I can't... I can't see either of them", Isaac said.
"Can you hear anything else?" Deaton asked.
"They're worried. They're worried what they'll do during the moon. They're...Worried that they're gonna hurt each other", Isaac said.
"If they're locked in together on the full moon, they're gonna tear each other apart", Derek said.
"Isaac, we need to find them right now. Can you see them?" Deaton asked.
"No", Isaac said.
"Do you know what kind of room it is? Is there any kind of a marker? A number on a door? A sign?" Deaton asked.
Isaac shot up out of the water.
"They're here. They... They..." Isaac said.
"It's all right", Deaton said.
"No", Isaac said.
"Just tell us..." Deaton said.
"They see me. They found me. They're here!" Isaac yelled.
"This isn't working. Isaac, where are you?" Derek asked.
"I can't see them. It's too dark!" Isaac yelled.
"Just tell me where you are", Derek said.
"You are confusing him", Deaton said.
"I can't see!" Isaac yelled.
"Isaac, where are you? Just tell me where you are", Derek yelled.
"Derek, shut-up!" Paige yelled, "I'll handle it!"
She placed her hands on his neck and shifted her body. "Isaac, baby", she said in a soothing voice.
Isaac looked up into her yellow eyes. "Paige", he breathed.
"It's me. Can I ask you a question?" she asked him.
He nodded.
"What did you see?" she asked him.
He jerked up. "A vault! It's a bank vault! I saw it! I saw the name", Isaac said getting out of the tub.
Derek helped Paige up as Deaton wrapped a towel around Isaac's body.
"It's, uh... B-beacon hills first national bank. It's, um... it's an abandoned bank, and they're keeping them locked inside, inside the vault", Isaac said.
Everyone was looking at Isaac.
"What?" Isaac asked.
"You don't remember what you said right before you came out of it, do you?" Stiles asked.
"No", Isaac said.
"You said when they captured you that they dragged you into a room and that there was a body in it", Stiles said.
"What body?" Isaac asked.
"Erica. You said it was Erica", Stiles said.
"She's not dead", Derek argued later.
"Derek, he said, "There's a dead body. It's Erica."Doesn't exactly leave us much room for interpretation", Stiles said.
"Then who was in the vault with Boyd?" Derek asked.
"Someone else, obviously", Stiles said.
"And maybe it was the girl on the motorcycle", Scott said, "Okay, the one who saved you?"
"No, she wasn't like us. And whoever was in the vault with Boyd was", Isaac said.
"What if that's how Erica died?" Stiles asked, "They, like, pit them against each other during the full moons and see which one survives. It's like werewolf thunder-dome".
"Then we get them out tonight", Derek said.
"Be smart about this, Derek. You can't just go storming in", Deaton said.
"If Isaac got in, then so can we", Derek said.
"But he didn't get through a vault door, did he?" Deaton asked.
"We need a plan", Scott said.
"How are we gonna come up with a plan to break into a bank vault in less than 24 hours?" Derek said.
"Uh, I think someone already did. Beacon hills first national closes its doors three months after vault robbery." Doesn't say here how it was robbed, but it probably won't take long to find out", Stiles said.
"How long?" Derek asked.
"It's the Internet, Derek. Okay? Minutes", Stiles said.
It took longer than anticipated, so Derek, Isaac, and Paige went home.
When they got home, Isaac went up to their bedroom.
"I'll be up in a couple minutes", Paige told him.
When he was gone, she turned to Derek.
"Okay, so Isaac also said there was another male wolf in vault, which means the Alpha Pack made this personal", Paige said, "They took one of my pack members".
"They're not your pack anymore, Paige. You don't owe them anything", Derek said.
"Might I remind you that your mate is part of that pack?" she said.
Derek rolled his eyes. "You're not coming", he said.
"I won't fight, I promise. I just want my pack member back", Paige said.
"Fine", Derek said.
The next night, they worked on their plan to get the wolves out of the vault.
"Okay. You see this? This is how they got in. It's a rooftop air conditioning vent. Leads down inside into the wall of the vault, which is here. Okay? One of the robbers was lowered into this shaft Now, that space is so small, it took him about 12 hours to drill into that wall, which is stone, by the way. Then throughout the rest of the night, they siphoned the cash up to the guys back on the roof through that one little shaft in the wall. Boom", Stiles explained.
"Can we fit in there?" Scott asked.
"Yes, we can, but very, very barely. And they also patched the wall, obviously, so we're gonna need a drill of some kind. I'm thinking maybe a diamond bit…" Stiles said.
"Look, forget the drill", Derek said.
"Sorry?" Stiles asked.
"If I go in first, how much space do I have?" Derek asked him.
"He has point", Paige said from her spot on the stairs. She still hadn't mentioned to Isaac that she was going on the mission 4 months pregnant.
"What do you... what do you think you're gonna do, Derek? You gonna punch through the wall?" Stiles asked him.
"Yes, Stiles, I'm gonna punch through the wall", Derek said.
"Okay, okay, big guy. Let's see it. Let's see that fist. Big, old fist. Make it, come on", Stiles taunted.
Derek made a fist. "Get it out there. Don't be scared. Big, bad wolf. Yeah, look at that. Okay, see this? That's maybe 3 inches of room to gather enough force to punch through solid co..." Derek cut him off by punching Stiles' hand.
"Derek!" Paige hissed.
"He could do it", Stiles said.
"I'll get through the wall. Who's following me down?" Derek asked.
Paige opened her mouth.
"You're not fighting. We agreed already", Derek said.
"I know that, but I was thinking I would just use the front door", she told him, "Or you could let me in".
Derek looked 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 for yourself", Peter said.
"So I'm supposed to just let them die?" Derek asked.
"One of them is already dead", Peter said.
"We don't know that", Derek argued.
"Do I have to remind you what we're up against here? A pack of alphas. All of them, killers. And if that's not enough to scare your testicles back into your stomach, try to remember that two of them combine bodies to form one giant Alpha. I'm sure Erica and Boyd were sweet kids. They're gonna be missed", Peter said.
"Could someone kill him again, please?" Stiles asked.
Paige smiled.
"Derek, seriously? Not worth the risk", Peter said.
"What about you?" Derek said turning to Scott and Stiles.
"Yeah, if you want me to come..." Stiles said.
"Not you", Derek said, annoyed.
"Got it", Stiles said, realizing.
"I don't know about Erica. But if Boyd's still alive, we have to do something. We have to try", Scott asked.
"But?" Derek said.
"Who's the other girl? The one locked in there with Boyd?" Scott asked.
Derek looked at Paige.
"I don't know. Quit looking at me like that. I only know that they took one of my pack members and I need to get them back", Paige said.
While the boys snuck around the back, Paige went to the front door and found it open already. She quietly went inside. The minute she stepped into the bank, she smelled a familiar scent. Her heart stopped. "Nic", she breathed. She crept quietly to the vault. She opened the door and watched Scott and Derek break through the wall.
Boyd was growling.
"Boyd? Boyd? It's me. It's Derek", Derek said trying to calm him down.
"Stiles, now is not the best time", Scott said when he answered his phone, "What does that mean?"
"We're here to get you out, okay?" Derek told Boyd.
"Nic? Nic!" Paige shouted.
A figure over in the corner started to move.
"Nic!" she breathed.
"Paige?" the familiar Scottish accent washing over Paige.
"Nicolai", she said, "Come over to the door".
It was obvious he was weak and could barely move.
"Derek, we got a problem, a really big problem", Scott said.
The girl stepped out of the shadows.
"Cora?" Derek asked. He looked back at Paige.
"Remember when you thought I was lying to you?" Paige asked him, "Well, this is what I was lying about".
"You don't think telling me Cora was alive was important?" he snapped.
"We've got bigger problems Derek", she snapped back.
"Who?" Scott asked.
"Our sister Cora", Paige explained, still trying to get Nicolai over to the door.
"Paige, I can't", he said.
"Look at me Nic", she said.
His blue eyes met hers.
"I promise you, I will get you out of here and we'll call the pack and you will see Kitana again. I promise", she told him.
"Derek, Paige, get out. Get out now!" Cora yelled.
Paige was suddenly pushed into the vault. She turned and saw Mrs. Morrel completing a circle of Mountain Ash.
"No. No! Wait!" Scott yelled.
Boyd and Cora started attacking Scott and Derek.
Nicolai blocked Paige's body with his own. "I will protect you with my life", he told her.
"Good, because you're also protecting my pup", she said placing his hand on her stomach.
Allison suddenly appeared in the doorway. "Look out!" she yelled.
"No! Don't break the seal!" Derek yelled.
"Boyd!" Allison yelled, breaking the seal.
Boyd and Cora ran out the vault.
Nicolai collapsed to the ground in exhaustion.
"I have to get him to the loft", Paige told her brother and Scott, "Help me get him to the car".
When Paige arrived back at the loft, she called Stiles. "I'm gonna need some help", she told him.
He and Peter came down.
"Don't ask", she said.
They carried Nicolai up the stairs and put him on the couch.
Paige ran over to the kitchen and threw some herbs in a bowl with some water and mixed it up. She ran back over to Nicolai. "Nic, I need you to open your mouth and drink this, okay?" she said. She set Nicolai's head on her lap and tilted his head. She placed the bowl at his lips and tipped it forward, so the liquid would run down Nicolai's throat.
Nicolai fell into a sleep.
Paige got up and said, "He'll probably sleep for a couple of days while his body heals".
"Who the hell is he?" Isaac asked, appearing on the stairs.
"Isaac! This is Nicolai Capanni, second-in-command of the Wiltshire Pack", Paige explained.
"And what the hell is he doing here?" Isaac asked.
"I...ummm…I went with Derek and Scott", Paige said.
"You what?! You're 4 months pregnant, Paige! You could've put Camden in harm's way?! Are you insane?!" Isaac yelled.
"I had to get him back!" Paige said, "I spent 6 years with him and the pack. They're my family!"
"You should've told me", Isaac said.
"I know, but I knew you would react badly", she told him.
Minutes later, Isaac got a call from Derek.
"Stay here", Isaac told Paige.
"I know", she said, "Someone has to look after these two idiots".
"Hey!" Stiles said.
"I'll see you later", Isaac said kissing Paige's forehead.
"Bring them back", she told him.
He nodded and left.
"Wait…he said Camden", Stiles said.
"Yeah. I picked it", Paige told him.
"What about his middle name?" Peter asked.
"Derek", she said, "Camden Derek Lahey".
