Chapter 15

We pulled up to the Police Station in Stiles' jeep. Orion, Paige, and I were sitting in the back dispersing weapons, while Derek and Stiles spoke quietly in the front seat.

"We've practiced with the knives but I'm not very good at them." I quietly tell her.

Paige continues to strap the holster to my thigh before speaking. "You are actually a lot better with them than you think."

She was smiling her warm signature smile and it gave me the newfound confidence that I needed. I look to the front to finally hear the conversation that was accruing between my cousin and Derek.

"Okay, now the keys to every cell are in a password protected lockbox in my father's office." Stiles looks to me and I move up and look toward the station to see a woman officer. "The problem is getting past the front desk." Stiles says.

"Derek can distract her." I coldy tell him, not looking at the new Alpha.

Derek looks to me then Stiles and nods his head.

"Yeah, I'll distract her." He agrees, reaching for the door handle.

Stiles looks at me with a confused expression before grabbing Derek as he is about to open the door to the jeep.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa-you? You're not going in there." Stiles all but yells at him.

Derek looks between Stiles and his hand that is grabbing him from going outside. His face is filled with agitation and disbelief that my scrawny cousin is actually trying to stop him.

"I'm taking my hands off." Stiles eyes widen in alarm as he releases the bigger man.

"I was exonerated." Derek reminds him.

"You're still a person of interest."

"A dumbass, who doesn't always think before he acts, but he's an innocent person." I say, still not looking at Derek.

"Him? Yeah right!" Stiles exclaims.

I look at Stiles with a serious expression on my face. "Stiles, please, we need to hurry. Isaac is in trouble." I plead with him.

Stiles only looks at me for a few seconds before he lets out an exasperated sigh. "Okay, fine. What's your plan?" He asks, his eyes drifting back to the Alpha.

"To distract her." Derek replies.

"Uh-huh, how? By punching her in the face?" Stiles counters.

"Seriously, Stiles does it matter?! We need to get in there and get Isaac!" I snap at him.

Derek looks first at me then at Stiles. "By talking to her."

"Give me a sample. What are you going to open with?" Stiles asks.

"STILES!" I yell at him, growing more and more frustrated.

Derek just looks at him with agitation, wanting to be done with this and inside helping his new beta.

"Dead Silence? That should work beautifully. Any other ideas?"

"I'm thinking about punching you in the face." Derek growls at him.

"No one is punching anyone in the face." I snap, moving my head in between the front seats. "Go, Derek. Now!"

He looks at me for a few seconds with sadness in his eyes but I only stare back stonily. I can't look at Derek the same anymore. After, betraying my trust, I don't know if I could ever trust him again. I finally look away from him and when I do he lets out a sigh, and gets out of the jeep.

"Okay, this is what's going to happen." I instructed to the remainder people in the car. In about thirty seconds, Stiles, Orion and I will go in and sneak past Derek at the front. Paige, I need you to stay near Derek in case he fails. If he does, distract the officer anyway you can."

Everyone nods and we all exit the car trying to be as stealthy as possible while Derek is in the front talking to the woman officer. Derek quickly turns his charm on, effectively charming the female officer who all but swooned as he spoke.

Stiles looks at me and rolls his eyes. "Seriously?" he whispers.

I roll my eyes back and motion for him to be quiet. We silently make it past the front and into my Uncle Jack's office. Stiles goes to the lockbox and opens it to find the keys missing.

"Oh, no." He groans.

"What do you mean, oh, no?" I ask worry in my voice.

Stiles looks at me and lets out a sigh. "I left out a little detail because I thought we dealt with it."

"What detail?" I ask through clenched teeth.

"The hunters are coming to kill Isaac." He says in a rush.

I felt my heart drop into my stomach. Isaac couldn't die, I wouldn't let him die!

"It might not be them who have the keys." Stiles tries to reassure me. "It seems like she is the only deputy on duty, so she might have the keys."

"Well let's go get the keys." Orion suggests.

Stiles begins to nod his head before quickly shaking it. "How?" He asks.

"Don't worry about that, Paige is out there, she can help us get the keys, trust me." Orion confidently replies.

"I hardly know you." Stiles counters.

"You trust me right?" Stiles nods and I grab his hand, pleading with him. "I Trust him, please?"

Stiles lets out a defeated sigh and I take that as him agreeing.

"Thank you. How about you guys go back to the front, I'm going to go find Isaac."

"NO!" They both cry in unison.

I placed my hand on my hips and glare at them as I give them a challenging look. They both look down in defeat because they both know that I will do what I want.

"Be careful." Stiles warns me.

I nod my head and pull my cousin into a hug. I look to Orion who smirks and nods his head and I chuckle at him as we part ways. The boys go left and I wait till they are out of view, then I head right. I'm abruptly cut off by a deputy.

"Whoa." I say, taking in his appearance. He has an arrow stuck in his leg and a syringe with dark liquid in his hand. I look at him and start to back away, knowing he was dangerous. I'm turn to run but he reaches out a hand and roughly grabs me as his other hand came up to cover my mouth. I can't breathe, I'm struggling against his hold and I try screaming out to the boys. I'm panicking and suddenly the lights in the hall start to flicker erratically as my magic pulses through me. He's dragging me away and I'm trying my hardest to fight him. I can't let him get to Isaac, I can't and I need to find a way to warn the others.

My eyes suddenly bulge at seeing the fire alarm and I make a grab for it, triggering the alarm. The bells start ringing and I almost sigh in relief, knowing they will find me. The guy holding me drags me into the holding room and lets me go, throwing me to the ground. I'm about to get up when I notice the cell door is busted open.

Oh, no. We're too late.

The Hunter is looking around for Isaac when he is abruptly tackled, sending them flying across the desk. I crawl toward the wall away from the commotion and get a good look at Isaac, who is in total wolf form. My heart breaks a little at knowing there really was no out for him, that Isaac would be forever a part of the world I want to keep him out of.

He grabs the hunter and throws him into the wall and lets out a deafening growl at the hunter before smashing his head into the wall. I suddenly feel arms around me and look to see Orion helping me up. My eyes are pulled back to the scene at the sound of breaking glass, Derek stepping on the syringe that the hunter had. A growl makes me look up to see Isaac glaring at Orion with his arms around me. He lets out another growl as he stalks towards us. Orion's grip on my shoulders tighten in an attempt to shield me, protect me from Isaac. Derek runs in front of us and lets out an Alpha roar that sends Isaac cowering against the wall. He looks up from his fetal position and I see Isaac has gone back to himself. I push away from Orion's arms and run towards him, throwing my arms around his neck as I hold him tight.

"I'm sorry." I whisper into his ear as I feel his body relax into mine. "I'm here now, and I'm never leaving you."

He slowly wraps is arms around me and sighs against me.

"Let's go before anyone comes." Derek tells us.

I nod and pull back from Isaac's embrace and look at him. He is looking at me sadly, so I place my hand on his cheek.

"Let's go. I promise I won't leave you." I say and press my lips to his. When I pull back he gives me a small nod and shakily gets up.

"I'm going to stay behind." Stiles says.

I nod and give him a small smile. "Thank you."

"We can hide him with us." Paige suggested, looking around at everyone.

We were all standing in around the abandoned station contemplating where to keep Isaac while he was a wanted fugitive. Keeping him with Derek was out of the question, considering the hunters know he is a part of Derek's pack now.

"I know your dad won't mind, plus he comes back in a few days." Paige continues.

I nod my head at Paige. "That sounds like a good idea."

"No." Derek says.

I turn to look at the brooding wolf who hadn't spoken a word since we had arrived. I arched my eyebrow and gave him a stern look.

"Yes." I counter.

Derek walks toward me, his eyes glittering dangerously. "No."

I start walking towards him, my eyes making direct contact with his, looking just as a dangerous. "Yes." I snap at him.

"As his Alpha, I say no." He says in a commanding voice.

I clench my fists tight and keep glaring at him as I let out a huff of annoyance. "As, your sentinel, I say yes."

"You don't have a say."

When those words leave his mouth the tenuous control I had snaps and I'm replaced by the primal anger that swarmed me the night before. The lights in the station flicker and the sound of whirling wind outside can be heard. Derek suddenly becomes very still and I can see the vein on his forehead start to pop out. He suddenly drops down to his knees and is hunching over in pain as my eyes narrow.

"Aria, stop, this isn't you, you know this isn't you." Orion tries to soothe me.

I shake my head, my eyes never leaving Derek as he writhed in pain. "You don't know me."

I look back to Derek and see him hunched in pain; and I should feel sorry for him, I should want to stop but I don't. All the pain and betrayal I felt from earlier has returned full force and it is now slowly hurting Derek, making him feel physically, what I felt emotionally. I never blamed Derek for any of the things that happened to his family or my mother, I was always on his side, so loyal, like a lost puppy, willing to do anything just for an ounce of affection; but now with my heart and trust broken in him, I saw the real Derek. The Derek who acted foolish and fell in love with a hunter and because of his actions, led to the death of his family, which led to my parents failed marriage, and lastly to my mother's death. Every good thing in my life was taken from me and it was his fault.

I walk towards him and drop down to my knees so I can look at him. I pull his face into my hand and force him to look at me. "It seems like I have all the say in this." I whispered, my voice silky.

His eyes widen as he looks up at me. "Y-Your….e-eyes…" He grounds out through gritted teeth.

I look at him with curiosity before turning to look at Orion, Paige, and Isaac who are looking at me with the awed expressions etched on their faces. Isaac is the first to walk toward me and when I see the awe turn to worry, I immediately regain control over myself, releasing Derek as my heart plummets and I realize that what I am doing is potentially scaring Isaac. He comes closer to me and is about to place his hand on my cheek but I take a step back, almost ashamed that he has to see me like this. Isaac isn't deterred though, he just walks forward again and grabs me by the waist, placing his hand on my cheek.

"This isn't you, I know you." Isaac whispers, looking into my eyes.

I shake my head and look to Derek who is being helped up by Paige. I look back at Isaac and he leans in and softly kisses me and I let out a breath I didn't realize I was holding.

"He can go with you, but once he is cleared and I will find a way to clear his name, he is coming back with me." Derek's voice is cold and he refuses to look at me but even from where I am standing I can see the look of hurt, betrayal and anger in his eyes at my actions.

He turns to leave and a part of me want to go after him and apologize, tell him I didn't mean any of it but the betrayal and the anger I felt for everything he had done made me think otherwise. I turn away from him, choosing to lean against Isaac instead.

"So," Stiles comes up behind Orion and I, looking between the two of us. "He's hiding out with your sister, at your father's place?"

I nod my head and look up at Scott and Allison climbing the wall, clearly competing against each other.

"Do you think that's a good idea?" Stiles asks me and I shrugged.

"Yes, because when Uncle Jack told me Isaac escaped I played the 'Oh my god my boyfriend is missing card.' and fake cried." I tell him.

To be honest having to lie to my Uncle Jack killed me but I had no choice. Keeping Isaac safe was a main priority now. He was pack now, and I had to keep my pack safe.

"Wow, Dad really underestimates you." Stiles shoots me an awed expression to which I lift an eyebrow too.

"Clearly."

Lydia walks by us and looks at me but her usual snobby look isn't so snobby. I turn my arched eyebrow towards her and she lets out a small huff. "Seriously, Aria, you should really go out shopping with me sometime. Get you out of your whole les- 'Tomboy' look."

I cross my arms in front of my chest and I know I must be scowling because she arches her eyebrow in response.

"Just think about." She says and walks away.

I look to Stiles who is looks dumbstruck by Lydia's words.

"Did that just happen?" I ask surprised.

Stiles looks at me and just nods his head with his mouth hung open.

"Why aren't you mad?" Orion asks me.

"Anyone who knows Lydia Martin, knows that wasn't an insult, but more like her extending an olive branch, trying to make amends, peace." I reply.

Orion only looks at my cousin and I in confusion before shaking his head in disbelief. "Damn she must be a big bitch for that to be considered her making amends." Orion says.

I only burst out laughing at his statement because he was right.

"Whoa!" Scott yells.

My defenses automatically start to kick in and I am about to rush to Scott on the floor, when Orion grabs my wrist.

"He just fell from the top, he's okay." Orion whispers.

I nod my head and wonder why I acted this way, what possessed me in, that moment to fight off anything that caused Scott to yell out in fear.

I suddenly noticed that everyone was laughing as I made my way toward the mat and I see Coach sitting next to Scott as he laid there catching his breath.

"McCall, I don't know why, but your pain gives me a special kind of joy." He start to chuckle. "Right?" He continues to chuckle before abruptly standing up.

Next two." He yells. "Stilinski, Erica, let's go."

"Which one?" Stiles and I ask at the same time, glancing at each other.

Coach looks between us with a shrug. "Does it matter?"

"Rock paper scissors?" Stiles asks, turning towards me.

"Best two out of three?"

He nods and we both lift our hands to play. I count to three, smirking in triumph when my scissors beat his paper. He let out a small groan before counting again, my eyes growing puzzled at his weird hand gesture.

"Hell yeah! Lizard eats paper!" He crowed triumphantly.

I arched my eyebrow at him.

"What?" He asked. "We're playing rock, paper, scissors, lizard, spock, okay?"

"Fine." I griped before counting again, smiling in triumph when I won. "You forgot lizard poisons Spock. I win."

Stiles lets out a sigh of defeat. "Until next time, young one." He says as he walks up to the rock climbing wall.

Orion looks at me with a smirk on his face. "You're such a geek."

I push him and he starts to laugh.

"I think it's kind of hot."

My body stiffens and I can feel my cheeks redden at his words and I slowly turn to look at Orion. He is looking away as he runs his hand through his hair and pulls it into a tie, as if what he had just said was nothing. I decide to brush it off like him and pretend it hasn't happened.

I look up at the wall and see Stiles climb up like a little monkey. I see him coming down with a huge smile and that's when I notice Erica hasn't moved from her spot on the wall and she's whimpering in fear. I walk closer to the wall and remember something I'm sure most people haven't, she has epilepsy.

Erica hadn't always been the girl you see now. Up until we were in middle school, she had friends and she went to birthday parties but that all changed. I can still remember the first time I'd ever seen Erica have an episode, her first seizure. Stiles and I were in English class and of course we sat in alphabetical order, which meant Erica sat in front of me and Stiles behind me.

"Aria, did you watch the Star Trek marathon last night?" Stiles leaned forward and whispered in my ear.

I turned around to look at my cousin and nod my head. "It was awesome! I swear my parents were pissed when they walked into my room and -" I stop mid-sentence when I'm shoved from behind and I turned to see Erica Reyes had pushed back against my desk, pushing me into my cousin.

I frowned as I realized she was having a seizure. I quickly jumped out of my desk and shoved it out of the way, grabbing Erica into a bear hug before she could fall onto the floor. As gently as I could I placed Erica on the floor and pushed her desk back.

"Mrs. Kelly, please call 9-1-1! She's seizing!" I yelled at the teacher.

I look around to see the whole class staring in shock and fear at Erica. I looked to Stiles who was looking at me without fear but waiting for me to tell him to do something. Boy does he know me, so well.

"Move the desk away from her." I instructed.

Stiles obliged, moving the desk away as the other kids slowly got up and backed away from her.

"Oh my god! She's peeing!"

I looked up to see one of her friends looking down in disgust. I glared at her.

"Why don't you shut up! She doesn't have control of her body but I do! I will tell my fist to connect to your face, if you don't shut up!" I yelled.

Erica suddenly stopped and looked up at me in confusion. She shakily lifted a hand, running it over her face. "W-what happened?" She asked in confusion.

Before I could respond, the door flew open and EMT's were rushing in to take care of Erica. She was wheeled out of the classroom and was absent from school for the next three days.

When I got home I made sure to ask my father if she was okay. He had assured me Erica was fine and that she was having tests run on her but he couldn't share any more information with me.

I had never really spoken to the girl before but she would smile and say hi to me every morning before class started.

On the day she had returned she didn't look that well. Her hair was in a messy ponytail and she was wearing sweats. I smiled at her and said hello like our usual mornings but she only gave me a sad smile and looked down at her clasped hands on her desk. My heart clenched in my chest and I sat down, feeling horrible for the poor girl. Later, that day when I went to my locker I found a teddy bear with a card attached.

Aria, thank you for saving my life. Without your wonderful skills and quick thinking I wouldn't be here.

-Erica

… …. …

I start to walk forward hoping that no one starts to make fun of her but she starts hyperventilating, causing everyone to crowd around the mat.

"Erica? Dizzy? Is it vertigo?" Coach asks.

"Vertigo is a dysfunction of the vestibular system of the inner ear. She's just freaking out!" Lydia informs Coach.

I roll my eyes at Lydia's condescending attitude, even if she was right.

"Erica?" Coach calls out again.

"I'm fine." Came her weak reply.

"Coach maybe it's not safe." Allison says.

"You know she is epileptic." I add.

Coach suddenly looks around, surprised at the news. "Why doesn't anyone tell me this stuff? E-Erica y-you're fine. Just kick off from the wall. There's a mat to catch you. Come on." Coach coaxes her to come down.

We all wait on bated breath to see if she will calm down and listen. When she does I let out a sigh as does Coach.

"You're alright. Let's go shake it off. You're fine." Coach says as she comes down.

Erica starts to walk away and everyone is laughing at her. I watch as she walks away, tears in her eyes. I want to comfort her but at the same time I don't think I should. I look to Scott who seems to be mirroring my inner thoughts.

Putting my military jacket on over my Rolling Stones Tee I grabbed my Nirvana backpack, pulling it on. My phone buzzed in my pocket and I slipped it out to see a text from Isaac saying he missed me. I smiled to myself and sent a quick 'miss you, too' back. I hissed in pain as my skin started burning under my shirt and I quickly pulled out my amulet to see it was glowing and radiating heat. I grazed my hand over the lapis lazuli and suddenly a strong urge to go into the gym over took me. I started running into the gym to find Scott catching a seizing Erica.

"Put her on her side!" I yelled out as I started running toward them.

People must have heard me yell out because they started piling in the gym.

"How'd you know?" I ask him, looking down at the Blonde

Scott looks at me, confused. "I just felt it."

I nod my head.

"You?" He asks.

I pull out my amulet.

"This." I say as I show it to him.

I walk into the loft with Orion in tow and we immediately see Paige standing in front of the table staring down at her books. She is so deep in reading that she doesn't hear us come in but someone else did. Isaac comes down the stairs with a huge smile across his face and I walk towards him. When we meet he grabs my face and presses his lips to mine, he kisses me a little more fiercely than he ever has and I'm taken aback by his aggression but am not by any means upset. If anything, I'm turned on. I reluctantly pull away because we have two people in the room with us but Isaac only smiles down at me.

"I missed you, it is so boring here without you." He says.

"I missed you, too. You were all I could think about." I reply with a grin.

Orion clears his throat and I quickly turn around.

"Sorry, to interrupt, but we have some training to get to." Orion says.

I nod my head and turn to Isaac. "Would you like to join?"

He looks at me with confusion. "What do you mean training?"

"Orion helps me with self defense. He's teaching me how to fight."

He looks at Orion, then down at me, his jaw clenching in anger. "You put your hands on her?"

Orion looks at me and then at Isaac, a smirk playing on his face. "No, Paige does."

Isaac looks at him with anger coursing through him as Orion stared back at him with an expression I couldn't decipher.

"Ugh…the testosterone is killing me!" Came Paige's sarcastic cry as she slams her book shut, causing us all to jump in surprise.

"No training today, we have to go see Deaton." Paige says to us.

"Why?" I ask.

"He said you've been making excuses not to go see him. You really need to go and train with him as well, it's important Aria. Derek and now Isaac need you to be strong." Paige says.

I look down at my feet and know she is right but hadn't wanted to go see Deaton because practing my magic reminded me of my mom. That was something that hurt way too much sometimes.

"I know. Can I at least speak to Isaac alone before we go?" I ask with a sigh.

Paige nods her head and grabs Orion pulling him out the door with her.

I look up at Isaac, nervousness playing across my features"I know this is all new to you and I know my powers last night scared you. But-"

"It didn't scare me." He interrupted me. "It's just when you did that, you turned into someone else. Your whole demeanor was someone else completely. Not to mention that your eyes turned into an eerie blue." Isaac looks down to see my amulet and his eyes widen. "Like that color of blue." He says as he touches the stone.

We walk into Deaton's office and Paige doesn't even wait for him to greet us she just walks straight to the back room. I look at Orion and arch my eyebrow giving him a curious look.

"She works here now. Since she decided to put off going to college and all. She needed a job to keep her busy." Orion explains.

"Oh." I respond.

We walk to the back room to see Deaton standing there giving us a smile. "Aria, I see Paige has persuaded you to finally come by my office."

I nod my head and place my Grimoire on the table. "Yes, I'm sorry, I am ready to start training."

Deaton nods his head and places a hand on my shoulder.

"I know it is hard to train, it reminds you of your mother but this is what she wanted. She wants you to learn control so you don't potentially put yourself in danger. I knew Lena very well, she wouldn't want you to stop because it hurts you. She always said, "Fear pushes you to conquer but pain-"

"-Is what makes you a survivor." I finish.

Deaton smiles at me with pride. "She lived by the words."

Orion grabs my hand and gives it a squeeze.

"You see that?" Paige exclaims as she points toward our hands.

I look down to see the golden light coming from our hands and I immediately pulled my hand away. The weird part was when I let go the light didn't disappear, instead it traveled up my arm and stopped at my chest. When it reached my chest the light disappeared.

Deaton looks at us both with an odd expression. "Interesting."

"I've been going through all my books but I don't know if I can figure it out. I don't think I have enough resources." Paige explains to Deaton.

Deaton nods his head as he places his hand on his chin. "We will discuss this more later, Paige. Aria, we need to start practicing your magic." He says as he pulls a chair out for me to sit in.

He turns to Orion and gives him a smile. "Don't think I forgot about you. I can help you as well."

Orion smiles wide and he pulls out a chair next to me.

"You two have to promise you won't tell anyone I'm helping you." Deaton says.

We both look at him confused.

"Why?" I ask.

"No one must know. Just promise me you won't tell anyone. Not even Stiles and Scott." He says.

I nod my head in response even though I'm confused by his request. I had a feeling Deaton was hiding something from us, but I didn't press the matter, I just needed to become stronger.
