Chapter 11

Stepping up to the burnt rotting collapsing house that once held many special memories now looked like a scene to a horror movie. Which, I find ironic considering I am standing outside with a werewolf.

"I can hear them talking. I'm going in through the window. Give me five before you go in." Scott says.

I nod my head as he runs off.

"So, how does this work?" Orion asks.

I bring my finger up to my mouth motioning for him to be quiet. We couldn't afford for Derek to know we are here.

Shouting comes from inside the house and I decide that Scott can forget about the five minutes. I run up to the back door and step in motioning for Orion to follow. I walk in the back door quietly and am about to motion to Orion to follow me but when I turn around he isn't there. I look around and he steps out from a corner of the room and smiles. He has stealth and it's surprising. We slowly walk forward and I can hear Jackson pleading.

"I don't deserve this." Jackson says whimpering.

Just hearing, Jackson cry that way breaks my heart. It takes me back to a time when Jackson was my friend, my best friend. When I loved him and shared every happy and sad moment in my life. I am about to step forward when Orion pulls me back and motions for me to wait.

"Look around you! Wouldn't there be someone here trying to save you? There's no one here. And there's a reason. Why no one cares that you drive an expensive car. No one cares that you have perfect hair, and no one cares that you are captain of the lacrosse team!" Derek yells at Jackson.

The words seem to stem more from Derek's bitterness at being alone and I know at that moment Derek is lonelier than he lets on.

"Excuse me. Co-captain." Scott says.

Scott jumps from the top of the stairs and in between Jackson and Derek. He looks at Derek now totally wolfed out.

"Move." Derek tries to command.

"No." Scott replies.

"Fine, I'll kill you too."

I slowly start walking out trying to not be seen by Jackson but enough so Derek can see me. Derek looks to Scott and then to me his eyes suddenly bulging with emotion.

"Cover your eyes!" Derek yells.

Suddenly a bright light erupts throughout the room. Orion pulls me back and into a corner and I see Jackson scurry off. Orion shields me with his body but not before I am able to see Scott get shot multiple times.

"Scott!" I yell out frantically.

Orion keeps me back shielding me as I try to reach out to Scott. I see Scott scurry toward us and I push Orion off of me. I look to Derek who is looking at me worriedly. Scott has black blood oozing out of his gunshot wounds and black blood is spurting out of his mouth.

"Aria." Scott says through coughs of blood.

I look to Derek and he looks at me through somber eyes.

"Scott, GO!" he yells.

Scott is whimpering in pain and can't get up and I look to Orion.

"Help him get out of here. Call Deaton." I give him my phone. "He's number three on speed dial. Go!" I say.

Orion shakes his head and starts pleading.

"No. No. No."

Derek suddenly gets up and pulls Scott up and pushes him to Orion.

"Run!" He yells at him.

"You too!" He yells at me.

I shake my head and push Orion out toward the back.

"This is your duty. Keep him alive! Healing is your job! NOW DO IT!" I yell.

Orion nods his head and runs off but with scared eyes.

"I told you to leave." Derek says.

I grab his hand and give it a hard squeeze.

"I'm stubborn." I say.

With a nod Derek lets out a breath and opens the door. He steps out the door with a growl giving me time to use my power of air to swoop me out of the gunfire and into the forest. Derek is bombarded with gun shots but he evades them easily with his fast reflexes.

My amulet is glowing like a glow stick and I suddenly feel my fingertips burning and look down to see flames spurting out of them. I smile and know I can give Derek the best opportunity of running away. I look down at my hands and picture the flames releasing from my fingertips and onto the ground around the hunters.

"HELL YEAH!" I yell out.

It worked! I had done it! I pictured it and it happened! I lifted my head in triumph but then realized not all the Hunters were down or distracted. They were following Derek. I ran from my hiding spot and ran toward Derek.

"What are you doing?" Derek yells at me as I run beside him.

"Protecting you is my duty!" I yell.

Bullets are hitting the trees around us and I turn around and I yell.

"Scuto!"

A liquid looking glass starts to form in front of us and Derek looks at me questioningly.

"It's a shield. It will derail some of them but not all of them." I say.

I arch my eyebrow at him in an 'I told you so'.

"Point taken." Derek says.

Derek and I are running fast through the forest as we are being chased by hunters on four wheelers. They are right on our tails but with Derek's fast reflexes and my ability to keep up we evade them. I suddenly feel a singe in my arm and yelp in pain. I look down to see my arm has been nicked by a bullet. The pain is intense and I feel my eyes water and my emotions spike.

The fire on my fingertips appears again and I angrily and precisely throw fire balls toward them, blowing up two of the four wheelers chasing us.

"Are you okay?" Derek says.

He has my arm in his hands as we run side by side. I nod my head and we continue on. We are running fast and I can feel my heart beating fast with the adrenaline.

An arrow suddenly wizzes passed me and I yell out for Derek, to look out but I'm too late. It pierces him right in the chest.

"NO!" I yell at Derek.

I run to him and try to left him up but see he is passed out and black blood is oozing out of his wound. The hunters start to close in on us and I began to panic. I can feel the air around me began to stir and the trees start to sway violently. The sky begins to darken even more and thunder begins to crackle in the air. Three men start to appear on four wheelers. They get off their vehicles and come walking toward us with guns.

"Stay away!" I yell out.

They keep coming closer.

"Stay. Away." I yell out again.

The weather begins to pick up violently. They look around in confusion at he weather but come closer. They are mere inches away and I can hear more coming.

"I said. STAY AWAY!" I yell.

When I yell my whole body feels as if it is surging with magic and I look back to see Derek still lying there defenseless. The urge to protect him makes my body tingle with heat and suddenly there is a blinding light. For a few seconds I feel like I'm on fire, and just as fast and sudden, as the light came, it was gone. I collapse to the floor next to Derek and feel everything coming in and out of focus. I hear footsteps approach me and a blond haired woman appears in front of me.

"You are a special thing, aren't you?"

I hear her words echo through my brain and then the world goes black.

I open my eyes and gasp for air. I try to move my arms but feel them restrained behind my back. I pull on them but they don't budge. I look down to see my legs are strapped to the legs of the chair I am sitting on. I try to pull free but I can't budge.

"Don't, you will only weaken yourself more." Derek says.

I look to my left and see him standing up with his hands tied above him.

"Where are we?" I ask.

"We are in my families tunnels. Remember we use to play hide and seek in them?"

I look around and from the little light the moon from outside is providing I realize the brick and the structure is familiar. Flashbacks of when we were younger Derek, Laura, and Cora coaxing me into coming inside. They loved coming here especially Cora.

"Are we ever going to talk about Co-"I am interrupted.

"She died there is nothing to talk about." He states aggressively.

I shudder in surprise and fear.

"Someone's coming." Derek says to me.

A few seconds later the door slide open and the blond comes walking in with someone behind her. She walks up to the light that is facing Derek. I look to him with worry and he turns to me and gives me a half smile.

The click of the light makes me jump in my seat and I turn to Derek and he lets out fierce growl. I look toward the blond and she turns to someone who is still in the shadows.

"Isn't he beautiful?" She asks with an evil smile.

The person suddenly walks closer and I see Allison's face. She looks completely terrified.

"This one." The blond walks over toward me. "She is even more special." She says as she caresses my hair.

"Don't touch me, bitch!" I yell out.

She looks down at me with an evil smile.

"Tisk, Tisk sweetheart. Didn't your mother teach you better manners? Oh.." She places her hand over her mouth and feigns a sad face. "That's right she's dead." She says with laughter.

Derek suddenly growls at her and tries to lung at her but can't get anywhere with his restraints.

My blood boils with anger.

"YOU BITCH!" I yell out.

The woman falls to the floor gasping for air. Her face starts to turn purple and Allison rushes toward her.

"Kate." She says worriedly.

She gets up with the help of Allison and staggers toward me. Her moves are becoming slower and slower as she comes toward me. I don't notice the needle she was holding until it's too late and it's into my arm. Instantly everything gets hazy and I hear the woman, Kate, gasp in a huge breath and Derek growl in anger. I look up to see Allison's eyes looking at me with worry not fear. For the second time that night the world went black.

"I don't want to torture you." I faintly hear the woman's voice again.

I keep my eyes shut hoping she doesn't hear me waking up. I try to keep my breaths even as I hear her speak to Derek.

"Remember all the fun we had together?"

What Derek knows this hunter? He spent time with her?

"Like the time you burned my family alive?" Derek counters.

My heart stops. Derek was being tortured by the very person who killed his family. I try to breathe evenly trying desperately to keep my emotions in check.

"No, I was thinking more about the…hot crazy sex we had. But, the fire thing, yeah, that was fun, too."

My heart drops into my stomach and I feel like I'm going to throw up. Derek was not only face to face with the woman who killed his family but apparently there was history.

I hear Derek lunge toward her and she chuckles.

"I love how much you hate me."

This bitch is insane. I need to find a way to get us out of here. I look up through my hair that was curtaining my face.

"Remember how this felt?" Kate says.

She seductively goes down to wear his jeans hug on his hips and run her tongue up his abs.

Derek lunges toward her again growling and snapping at her in fury. The disgust evident on his face and I cringe at the psychotic-ness of this woman. I close my eyes pretending to be passed out.

"Mmm, sweetheart, I really don't want to torture you."

I hear the metal clanking of the door opening.

"But he does."

I hear someone walk in and the door closing again. I peer through my hair and see that Kate is gone. The man comes toward Derek and I see Derek look at me and shake his head. Does he know me will or what?

"Frigidus aer frigore corporis, paxillos et acus transfigere corpus." I whisper.

The man instantly stops and his face is contorted in pain. His eyes are bulging and watering with tears as he tries to yell out for help but no sound comes out.

"Aria, no, stop you are going to hurt yourself." Derek says.

"Don't worry, he will pass out with the pain." I say as I keep my concentration on him.

I can feel my body weaken even more. I know that doing this could put me in serious risk but if I can just make him pass out in time. I can get us out of here. My eyes are fighting to stay open and my breath starts to shallow.

"Aria, stop!" Derek is yelling.

I see the man's eyes start to roll back and his face become slack. I let go of my concentration and sigh out in exhaustion.

"You can kill yourself." He yells at me.

I shake my head and slowly raise my head.

"You're welcome, you know for saving your ass, again."

He rolls his eyes and looks at me with 'are you serious' look.

I start to concentrate on my hands turning to fire and I feel the plastic from the tie straps melt into my skin. To take my mind off the pain I talk to Derek.

"So, you and the Hunter, you loved her." I state.

Derek looks at me and his eyes water.

"I get it, she used you, that sucks." I say trying to be sympathetic.

I really did feel bad for Derek, he loved her, and she used him. It actually explained a lot, why he was so guarded, and bitter. He led her to them mistakenly.

"Don't hold yourself responsible. She's a psychotic bitch. She would of done it whether she knew you are not." I say through gritted teeth trying to hold back the tears.

The pain of the melting plastic was becoming increasingly unbearable. I look to Derek to see him with his head hung in shame.

"It's my fault Laura is dead." I blurt out.

Derek looks up at me confusion written on his face.

"She was drawn to Beacon Hills because of me. She was the Alpha and she could sense my presence coming here. It's something Alpha's do without even realizing it. They are drawn to us." I say as a tear slips down my cheek.

"No, it's not your fault. She came here trying to find something out and it led her to answers that led to Kate but ultimately led her to Peter. If I would have told her about Kate she wouldn't be dead." Derek replies.

The pain in my wrist becomes unbearable and I cry out in pain.

"Aghh!"

I pull my wrists apart and pull them out from behind me, and see the plastic searing into them.

"Aria?"

I look up to Derek and smile through the pain. He looks at me surprised but proud. I bend down and melt the plastic off my ankles. Luckily I am wearing jeans so I my ankles don't face the same fate as my wrists. I quickly stand up and run toward Derek.

"I'm going to get you out of here." I say.

"No, you need to go now. They won't kill me. You need to get out of here, and if you try to take me it will slow you down. I'm too weak I would need time to heal. GO!" Derek commands me.

I look up at him through tears in my eyes.

"No, I'm not leaving you here." I counter his command.

The tears begin to spill down my cheeks. I shake my head in a no and Derek leans his head down and kisses the top of my head.

"Aria, I'm sorry about the other day. I shouldn't have done that. I crossed the line. I just don't want to have to share you with anyone. It was supposed to be just me and you." Derek says.

I look up at him in confusion.

"What?"

"I always knew you had a crush on me and when you were little, it was cute, and when you got older, it was flattering, but now…I…I just thought we would have all the time we needed, you know to figure this out but now I realize…it will always be a crush to you, nothing more." Derek says sadly.

I look up at him and I know he sees that my eyes are confirming his words.

"Der-" I am cut off by his frantic words.

"Go! Now! Someone is coming!"

I wrap my arms around his waist and hug him tightly.

"I'll come back for you I promise." I say as I run out the door.

I run down the tunnels and remember an opening not far from Derek's house. I run through them swiftly and easily. I picture myself playing hide and seek with Derek like when I was younger to ease my nerves. I make it out of the tunnels and keep running and running and running. I don't even realize where I'm running to till I'm at the cemetery hunched over my mother's gravestone. Tears racking through me and I clutching her tombstone for dear life, cries of anguish fill the air.

"Aria?" I hear Isaac's voice.

I instantly jump up and run toward Isaac's voice. When I see him I throw my arms around his neck and cry into his neck. Isaac wraps his arms around my waist and rubs my back as I cry.

"I'm here, Aria, I'm here." Isaac says soothingly.

I slump onto my bed and pull my legs up against my chest. My wrists are still burned and bloody, and Derek was still being held by Kate. The tears started spilling from my eyes before I could even try to stop them.

Isaac had been wonderful in comforting me and only asked me once if I wanted to talk about it. When he saw my wrists he wanted to know what had happened but respected that I didn't want to talk about it. He gave me a ride home on his bike, risking getting caught by his father, just for me.

The door burst open and Stiles' silhouette is standing in the doorway. I pick my head up higher and Stiles seems to see the movement because he comes rushing in.

"Aria?! Where have you been? Are you okay?!" Stiles says as he pulls me into a hug.

I hold onto Stiles and sob into his shoulder.

"Derek, we need to get him out. Kate has him!" I say through sobs.

Stiles pulls back and looks at me with worry.

"Aria, we can't, not now. You've been gone for a whole day, we have school tomorrow." Stiles says.

I blink aimlessly and run a hand through my hair and let out a shaky breath.

"I seriously wouldn't have known you were missing if it wasn't for Orion coming over and letting me know. Scott almost died but his sister helped him with the help of Deaton." Stiles says in one breath.

I just nod my head and let out a sigh of relief. Scott was fine and Orion fulfilled his duty. I know I can count on him.

"She's fine!"

I look up to see Orion walking into the room with relief etched on his but he looks disheveled

"Oh, yeah he hasn't left. Since last night, and wouldn't leave." Stiles says annoyingly.

Orion surprises me by pulling me into a hug and he lets out a sigh of relief once I'm in his arms.

"I couldn't function knowing you could dead. I searched the woods for you but couldn't find you." He says.

I pull back and smile at him grab his hand reassuringly.

"I'm fine. I'm proud of you for saving Scott. Thank you." I say.

Orion smiles and looks down to my wrist and his face scrunches as he sees the burns. He quickly places his hands on my wrists and golden light appear behind his hands. I feel a tingle run through my wrists and bliss fills my pain. Then he does the same thing to my arWhen Orion lets go of my wrist I am surprised to see perfectly blemished free wrists. As if there were no searing burns around them.

"Thank you." I say appreciatively.

Orion smile and nods his head.

"I think I need to shower and sleep." I say to both boys.

They eye me like I'm about to break but nod their heads. They apprehensively leave the room and I slip into the restroom. I slip into the scolding hot water and let it soothingly run down my body. I close my eyes only to see Derek's pain filled eyes and his growling in pain as Kate tortures him, his electric blue eyes looking at me through anguish.

I turn the water off get out and head back into my room. I slip on some tiny blue shorts and pink tank top. I sluggishly make it into my bed and when my head hits the pillow and I'm out.

"I'm worried about Isaac, too. Peter has threatened him before but I'm also worried about Derek. How are we going to save him?" I ask Scott.

Scott, Stiles, and I are standing inside the locker room. They had just finished their morning practice. We are standing around trying to decide how to keep everyone safe and together.

"I know, we just need to keep Allison and Isaac under our watch. I think Winter Formal is our best bet. Derek we will save him, don't worry." Scott says reassuring.

"How is Winter Formal our best bet? You can't even go?" I ask.

"I know but that doesn't mean Allison can't go with someone else. She needs to be in a place where there are tons of people, Isaac, too."

I look down and feel conflicted. I need to protect Isaac but I need to help Derek, I'm his sentinel, it's my duty.

"Look, I know you don't care for Derek, both of you but he isn't a bad guy, and he wasn't really going to kill Jackson." I say looking between the two boys.

Stiles rolls his eyes and I can see that he doubts my last sentence but Scott on the other hand looks at me and nods his head.

"I need to get him out and fast. I don't know how I'm going to protect Isaac and find Derek but I have too. Derek needs me and I'm getting him out with our without you two." I say.

I see Isaac coming toward us and I motion to the boys' goodbye and walk up to Isaac, not giving them a chance to reply.

"Hey, you." I say as I pull him into a hug.

Isaac immediately responds and hugs me back.

"I was wondering." I say as we walk out of the locker room hand in hand. "If you wanted to go to formal with me?" I ask hesitantly.

Isaac eyes widen and he looks somewhat disappointed. I feel my heart drop because even if it is to keep him safe, I wanted to go with him. Seem him in a tux and get to take pictures together but from the look on his face I can see, that isn't happening.

"Aria, I-I wanted t-to tell y-you that I-I really want to g-go b-but I have t-to work." I ask stutters furiously.

I hate Isaac's father. He is a condescending asshole who takes pleasure in torturing his son. I give Isaac's hand a light reassuring squeeze.

"It's okay, I understand. Maybe, I could come over later that night and we could have a dance. You know at least one even if we don't go." I say hopeful.

Isaac stops me and kisses my lips gently.

"You are amazing. How did I get so lucky to have found someone like you?" Isaac says against my lips.

I feel my stomach twist with his words and my heart is beating furiously under my chest. I don't know what to say so I kiss his lips back gently and tenderly.

I pull back and smile at him. Isaac's eyes are playing with deep emotion behind them and it makes my knees weak.

"I'll see you after class." I say between kisses.

Isaac reluctantly pulls away and gives me a fake pout as he walks away. I chuckle at his childish behavior.

I turn around to walk toward my English class when I see Scott and Stiles standing behind a wall spying on Allison and Jackson. I slowly walk behind them.

"Hey." I yell out.

Both boys jump up and look at me with scared expressions. I instantly go into a fit of laughter.

"Seriously, I understand Stiles, but Scott?" I start to laugh harder. "Man, you should have seen your fa-" I talking and laughing when I am hit with not so very nice looks.

"We are trying to listen in on Jackson asking Allison to formal." Stiles says.

The both boys turn back toward the duo and I lean in closer.

"You got Jackson to ask her?" I ask surprised.

After what happened last night I didn't expect Jackson to want anything to do with Scott or Allison.

"Yeah." Scott replies.

I look over and see the two walk away.

"Hey, don't worry I'll be there." Stiles says as he pats Scotts back.

"I'm still going." Scott replies.

Stiles and I look at each other confused.

"Is that such a good idea?" I ask.

"Do you even have a date?" Stiles asks.

"Not yet."

"Do you have a suit." Stiles counters.

"Not yet."

"Do you have a ticket to the formal?" Stiles asks again.

"He can have mine. I'm not going." I reply.

Both boys look at me in confusion.

"Isaac's dads making him work and he can't disobey him. I think I'm going to ask my dad to ask Deaton to keep an eye on him." I reply.

"So, do you have a ride to the formal?" I ask trying to change the subject.

"No, but thank you Aria, so now that's no is a yes. And no." Scott replies.

"So you're going to ride your bike to a dance you're not allowed to go to without a date, a suit, or a way in." Stiles says.

"Not to mention, you have werewolves and werewolves hunter all out to kick your little werewolf ass." I add.

Scott smiles and lets out a chuckle.

"Yeah, you gonna help me?" he asks.

Stiles and I look at each other and then back at Scott. We say in unison.

"Hell yeah!"

I walk into the loft to find Paige standing in front of the table with books sprawled all over the table. Her hair is bunched up at the top of her head in a messy bun and she is wearing a black muscle shirt and dark red skinny jeans and some combat boots. Her long legs and lean but curvy body is something that makes her attractive but from the looks of it she doesn't know it.

"Paige, where's Orion?" I ask.

Paige looks up at me and smiles a bright smile.

"Hey, I'm glad to see you are fine. He's upstairs in the middle room." She says.

Paige smiles one last time and continues on with the task she was previously preoccupied with. I walk up the stairs and into the middle room to find it's been turned into a training room. Orion is shirtless practicing some crazy moves with a staff. When he notices me Orion stops and looks at me with a huge smile.

"Great to see you are doing better." Orion walks over to me and examines my wrists. "They look good." He says.

Orion lets go of my wrists and walks to the end of the room where he has a cabinet and he opens it and places his staff inside.

"I need your help to get Derek back." I say cutting to the chase.

Orion turns to look at me and a determined look glazes over his eyes.

"Alright, I will do anything for our pack." Orion says fiercely.

"We technically don't have a pack just Derek to take care of but I like your attitude. This is going to be a great partnership." I say putting my arm around Orion.

He smiles at me and pulls me toward the cabinet he had just opened.

"You're the brains, the magic, and I'm the muscle." Orion says.

He opens the cabinet and inside is filled with guns, grenades, bow and arrows, knives, and two Japanese katana swords. I look at Orion with awe.

"Do you know how to use all of these?" I ask.

Orion chuckles and nods his head.

"Of course, I've trained to protect my kind. I just never dreamed I'd have the honor to be a healer for a pack." Orion says with pride.

I look at his with a questioning look but know this isn't the time to talk about. We need to rescue Derek.

"Explain later, rescue Derek now." I say.

Orion nods his head.

"We are going to need Paige she is amazing with guns."

Standing in front of the mirror, I hardly recognized the girl staring right back at me. My hair was pulled back into a ponytail, I had on a black razor back tank, with black jeans, combat boots, and my black leather jacket. I turn to look at Paige and she smiles at me.

"Stealth also requires becoming your surroundings, blending in. We need to blend in with the night, and it's a plus that you look totally hot." Paige says as she pats my back.

I know my nerves are getting the best of me but I can't help it. I don't know what to expect when we get to Derek. Will he be alive or dead?

I turned around to look at Orion, he is placing guns into his gun holster that lies under his jacket, and he already has his katana strapped to his back. I turn to Paige and see her strapping the gun holsters to her thigh, and she already has her guns on her hips and under her jacket as well.

"Let's roll out." Orion says as he conks his gun and places it in its holster.

I smile and lead the way out the door and toward or future Alpha.
