During the drive to the school, she ended her call with Stiles, and dialed up Allison's number. She wanted to maintain any form of contact with the group while she was driving. This way, she could tell them what to do should anything happen and she would be able to hear should anything happen.

"Tell me what's happening."

"Scott said it was Derek Hale. That he killed everyone, along with the janitor tonight."

"Listen to me Allison, listen to me. It wasn't Derek Hale. If anything, the killer would most likely attack Derek."

"Why..."

"Because, Derek is as much a victim as you guys are right now." she pulled a sharp turn, the tires screeching and skidding against the asphalt.

"Scott and Stiles were probably confused. The killer is out there, they got trapped in a school and then..." her tires screeched to a halt in the school parking lot, the headlights showing her Stile's jeep.

The hood was completely bent, she could see the claw marks. The shiny metal was a stark contrast against the slightly dirty underside of the hood. Derek's car was parked just behind it, completely untouched. Turning the car off, she quietly made her way towards the cars. If she only had a flash light, then this would have been a lot easier.

It was when she finally made it to Stiles' jeep, what was left of it that is, did a familiar scent reach her nose. Looking down, she noticed a dark patch that shined in whatever light the night had to offer. Seeing it went off in one direction, she followed it and let out a gasp as she noticed Derek Hale in a corner near the steps to the front entrance of the school.

"Kagome? Kagome?! Is everything alright? Are you almost here?"

"I'm already here. How are you guys doing?"

"We just locked ourselves in the chemistry lab. If your already here, what are you waiting for?"

"Is the... killer still behind you?"

"He was, why?"

"Because I'm looking at Derek Hale right now. And he looks like he's either knocked out or badly injured. I'm going to check on him, then make my way towards you guys."

On quiet feet, she made her way towards Derek's side, the metallic copper scent only growing stronger with each step she took. Glancing around to make sure that the alpha wasn't near by, she knelt down to get a better look at Derek.

The back of his jacket looked shiny and seemed like it was stuck to his back. It didn't take long for her to realize that he had been struck from behind. Placing her phone on the ground next to her, she carefully lifted the bottom of his jacket and shirt and pushed a hand slowly up his back until she finally reached the source for all the blood.

While she was worried about the wound, his body was still warm, the area around the wound hot even. Werewolf healing. Proved he was still alive. Pushing forth some of her healing abilities, she knew it would be better for them all in the long run, if she helped heal him as far as she could go.

Letting the clothing in her one hand drop, she picked up her cell phone to get an update on the others, still maintaining a steady flow of her healing abilities into Derek. It probably wasn't such a good idea, seeing as she had just gotten over a cold, but she would do what she could.

"Allison. What's happening?"

"We're trying to figure out what to do. We can hear him, but it sounds like he's going away. But we're not sure, and he could be heading your way. Are you sure it's not Derek Hale? Scott is rather positive it is."

"It's not him, he's out cold on the ground in front of me. Looks like he was caught by surprise." she wavered lightly on her spot and decided to pull her hand out from under Derek's shirt and wiped as much blood off her hand on the dry grass beside her.

"Remember, stay together. I'm on my way towards you guys."

While she wouldn't normally leave an injured person alone, the alpha was running about in the school and they were trapped. Seeing as Derek couldn't do anything at the moment, it was up to her. She knew for a fact that she was a little rusty, it had been years since she had done anything to defend herself, but she would do anything and everything she could to protect them.

"Okay, you said the chemistry lab, right?" she stood up and made her way towards the front steps, keeping everything as quiet as she could.

"Yeah. Please hurry."

With one last sweep of the grounds behind her, she made her way into the dark school. After everything she had been through, who knew school could look so... ominous, especially at night.

Scott was pacing back and forth.

Allison doubted his words since Kagome told her that the killer couldn't be Derek, as she had just checked up on him and found out that he was, in fact alive. But the explanation she had give Allison also worked. Dark, they had been on the run, who wouldn't have confused the killer for Derek? Well, now that he thought about it, Kagome wouldn't have.

Since she had called, they had followed her instructions. Stick together, don't panic, Stiles was trying to get in contact with his father every few minutes. But, the stress was getting to them, and they were beginning to fall apart at the seems.

Allison had been jumpy as soon as she had learned that he hadn't sent her the text, Stiles was pissed at him since he blamed Derek for the whole mess, Lydia had been either quiet or continued muttering about mountain lions, and he knew, knew for a fact, that Jackson was out to get him. What a better time than being trapped in a school with a killer on the loose.

To top it all off, Kagome was now in the school as well. The alpha knew who he considered close, and Kagome was as close as they got. Now she was walking about the school, alone, with the damn alpha lurking in the shadows. He dreaded the thought of what could happen to her. At least she had her own abilities. They found him the first night the alpha forced his first change, so knowing it wasn't him coming up behind her shouldn't be too hard for her to know.

That was another thing that had bothered him since the whole thing started, but had left alone for the longest time. These abilities of hers, were they there since she was born, or did something happen to her as well? Not only that, what else could she do?

He kept glancing at the door, wondering if Kagome was alright. He could actually -feel- the alpha and it freaked him the hell out. He hadn't been this close to the alpha since the night he had been bitten, so it had been easy for him to ignore. But this close, his instincts -wanted- to follow the alpha. It felt like some sick game of follow the leader, and he really didn't want to play along. Or he did, and was having a hard time saying no.

"Where about are you now?"

The sound of Allison's voice speaking into her phone drew him out of his thoughts. It was amazing, how a calm level headed voice from a phone could help keep them together.

"I'm passing the cafeteria... the blockade is yours I take it?"

Blinking, Scott had to wonder how she could keep so calm to begin with. And on top of that, she was asking sarcastic questions?! What the hell!?

"Yeah. We would have stayed in there, if Stiles hadn't pointed out the wall of windows."

"Good thinking Stiles."

Stiles himself gave a look that showed he was giving himself a mental pat on the back. As of lately, Kagome didn't praise either of them for much of anything. It seemed she was only doing so now when things mattered most.

"Okay, look around you. Is there anything you can use to protect yourselves with?"

"Like what? We're trapped in a fricken classroom." Jackson spoke up with a grunt.

"I don't know. You mentioned it being the chemistry lab, use your brains and be creative. You'd be surprise what people are capable of in such times."

"How... how is it you're acting like you've been through something like this?"

"You mean trapped in a school with a killer? I haven't." there was a silence that settled over their small group.

"But then how do you know what to do?"

"She doesn't alright! We're trapped in this classroom, while she and this killer..." Jackson tossed a glare his way. ", that isn't Derek Hale, are running around the school."

"You know Jackson, it's an attitude like that, that will..."

Everyone turned to Allison, more importantly, the phone she was holding at the sudden cut off in the middle of Kagome's sentence. When the silence continued on for a good few seconds longer, did Allison's hands start to shake and she began to hyperventilate.

"Kagome?" it was barely a whisper, but he was sure it made their ears ring with the deafening silence that followed. They all let out a relieved breath when Kagome answered.

"Shhh. I think I heard something."

The answer was just as quiet, if not more so than the questioning one Allison had managed to use. And they all leaned in closer towards the phone, their ears straining to catch something.

Worst part was, they did.

The sounds of Kagome lightly breathing was the first thing. But soon enough, the sounds of pawed and clawed feet grew closer. Along with that, the sounds of rumbling growls and panting breath.

Kagome's rushed voice hissed through the phone, and what she said didn't help them in the least. "Whatever happens, stick together, don't panic. Stiles call your da...!"

Allison jumped when the sounds of a crash, large snarls and scuffling sounded through the phone. More crashes, a few of Kagome's cries and shouts sounded through. What made it worse was the sound of something... -wet- followed by a pained cry from Kagome.

The silence rang in their ears. The panting grew louder, telling Scott and Stiles that the alpha was nearing the phone. A low growl followed, to which Allison whimpered slightly before letting out a cry when the line suddenly went dead.

"Oh... oh my god... Is... is she...?"

Scott was suddenly at her side and took her in his arms. Allison was shivering terribly, and it seemed despite her trying to burrow into his skin, wasn't able to stop. Scott himself wasn't too sure, and as much as he wanted to think positive, the facts were, the alpha was going around killing people. It wasn't like he would suddenly stop at Kagome. Or would he?

Kagome was different, if that alpha turned her, would her abilities stay with her then as well? The fact that the alpha might turn her was a chance that could keep her alive. As much as he hated the fact of Kagome turning into a werewolf as well, and suffering through everything he was suffering right now, it would mean she was alive.

His hold on Allison tightened. Or the alpha might end up using her as bait to lure him out. He was sure if he did go out there to find her, and Kagome was still alive, she'd beat him for doing something so stupid. But the problem was still the same. They were trapped in school with 'a killer'. And Kagome herself may of may not be dead.

"I need to go find her."

"What?! No!" Allison jerked and pulled herself out of his hold. "I understand that you're worried, but..."

"She came here to help us! All we did was stay in this room while she walked out there, alone, to come for us. We should have at least met her half way. Now she's... she could be hurt, the killer could be..." he grimaced at the thought of what the alpha could be doing to her. He did leave Jackson and Lydia alive, there must have been a reason for that, so there was a chance that Kagome was alive as well.

"And what are you going to use to defend yourself with McCall? That pointer there?" Jackson spoke up for the first time since the call between them and Kagome ended.

"I don't know, alright! But we still need to get out of here, and I'm going to find Kagome. I promised to watch out for her, and look where that got her... trapped in school at night with a killer."

"Scott, please. Please don't go out there and leave us. Don't leave me." her hands came and to clutch at his own. They were still shaking, and cold to the touch.

"I have to do this. We can't stay in here. We have to get out of here, all of us. That includes Kagome." he pressed his brow to hers, wishing and hoping, that she'd understand that he was trying to save them all, including his cousin.

"But you still don't have anything to arm yourself with."

"Yes we do."

Everyone looked towards Lydia's soft spoke words. Not only were they surprised at how calm it was, all things considered, but how confident it sounded as well. The weirdest part, she was wearing a small smirk. Her gaze turned towards the cabinet next to Jackson, and inside, were various bottles filled with chemicals.

Stiles, not seeing where she was getting at spoke up. "What are you gonna do, throw acid at him?"

"No. Like a fire bomb. In there, we have everything we need to make a self igniting Molotov cocktail."

"Self igniting..."

"Molotov. Cocktail."

Furrowing his brows, Scott had to wonder, what else did Lydia think about, or know of, besides fashion. Now that he remembered it, all her grades were pretty much top notch. She wasn't your typical captains girlfriend, blond and dumb. Apparently, he wasn't the only one thinking such thoughts, if Lydia's defense came out due to their constant staring.

"What? I read it somewhere."

Their nerves were a little loosened from this whole thing, a new was given with Lydia's idea. Self igniting fire bombs were a lot better then nothing. Especially against the alpha.

"We don't have a key for that either."

And then Stiles pretty much killed it with pointing out the obvious. Only, Jackson rammed his elbow through the glass, making them flinch at the sudden loudness of the glass breaking and echoing in the room around them. Carefully, they started to pull the bottles and flasks out, all following Lydia's instructions.

Kagome groaned, trying to remember what the hell had hit her. All she could tell right now was that she was in pain, other areas more so, something was near her, and it didn't feel friendly.

The ground beneath her was slightly warm, meaning she must have been out for a short while. Raising a hand, she brought it to her brow, wincing and flinching when she made contact with a very fresh wound there.

Whatever was with her moved closer, but despite her best efforts, Kagome couldn't remember at the moment what it was. So she decided to follow her instincts, while trying to remember what the hell was going on.

A groan slipped past her lips when her face was suddenly washed with moist warm breath. In fact, the entire front of her body was beginning to warm. Whatever it was that was above her, was radiating such amounts of heat, that it was almost uncomfortable for her.

Something cool and damp pressed into her hair, snuffling loud and clear in her ear as she came to realize it was a nose that was being pressed into her neck. She winced and bared her teeth with a low hiss as it followed up to the fresh cut on her brow. Whatever was above her let out a low growl when she tried to push it away, but she ignored it, and it ignored her pushes. Instead a tongue swiped up the side her of face, it was slightly rough and it agitated her wound, somewhat painfully.

The being above her moved to other areas, sniffing and licking at whatever wounds and blood it found. While she was still coming too, she started to remember a few things. Derek visited the other day, telling her about how Allison seemed to make Scott weak. Scott had avoided Allison pretty much all day. Scott and Stiles ended up in detention. And then for some reason the two of them returned to school. The others also showed up for some reason... Derek injured... and the alpha...

She let out a whimper when she realized just who... what, was above her. Furrowing her brow, she had to wonder, why it kept her alive. Not that she was complaining, but the alpha had a streak of killing all that came across him.

Well, he turned her cousin Scott into a werewolf, and it didn't kill Jackson or Lydia. But it did kill the school janitor, among other random people. So why was she still alive? What was he thinking? What did he have in store for her? And why the hell was he taking care of her wounds?

She finally managed to blink her eyes open, the world was very dark and very bleary, making it almost impossible for her to recognize anything. After a few more blinks, did she realize just how close the alpha was to her, and unconsciously, scuttled backwards.

A large clawed hand wrapped around one of her ankles and dragged her back towards the alpha, and the cry that escaped her was unwanted. But she was in a very vulnerable position. Since her cold, her miko abilities had only just started growing again, and then she used them to help heal Derek. So she was pretty much defenseless.

That is, until she struck out with her free leg. It took a few to land on his jaw, for him to let go, but as soon as he did, she was scrambling to get the hell out of dodge. Turning over onto all fours, she pushed herself out of the room. She knew she wouldn't get very far, but she wanted nothing more than distance between herself and it.

Another cry echoed throughout the hall as she was taken down from behind, the alpha pushing down heavily, using his entire body to keep her pinned to the floor. A large hand wrapped around the back of her neck while his mouth came down and issued a deep menacing growl in her ear. The position wasn't lost on her, he was trying to force his dominance on her, she had dealt with canines, of all kinds, in Jr. High. But she wasn't about to roll over and let him have his way.

Hearing something above the alphas growling breathing, she tried to shift her head to look down the hall as best as she could.

"...ome? Ka...go...me? Kagome?!"

"Scott!" she let out a cry as the pressure on the back of her neck became painful and a set of claws dug into her side.

The entire world spun as she was instantly on her feet, only to be pulled up and pinned to body much larger than her own. The hand that had been on the back of her neck was now at the front, forcing her to tilt her head to the side, the other arm clamped around her, pinning her arms painfully to her side. But she struggled to get out of the hold, the panting breath that felt sticky and moist against the skin of her neck unnerved her.

"Kagome!"

"Scott, get the others and get out!"

His shoes squeaked against the floor as he skidded to a halt. The cocktail in his hand sloshed when he saw the situation that waited for him in the hall he just turned down to face. As soon as he heard Kagome's voice, he took off. She had the keys to his mom's car, and they could cram themselves into it to get the hell out of there.

He tensed as he really took the scene in. The alpha had Kagome in his hold and his mouth was hovering over her exposed neck. She looked completely vulnerable in his hold, the alpha forcing her to bend her face away. She was so... tiny.

"Wait... please don't."

"Scott, take the others and...!" her eyes clenched shut and she bit down on her lip as the hands wrapped around her gave her a none to gentle squeeze.

"Stop it!" his grip on the bottle tightened, to the point he heard it starting to crack.

He noticed how the alpha was eying the bottle, as if knowing what was in it. Gritting his teeth, he started crouch down so he could place the concoction on the floor gently.

"Scott! Don't!"

Another cry was forced from her throat as the alpha forced said throat to bend more than what could be comfortable. Ignoring his cousin, he started to stand up slowly and back away from the bottle. He wasn't prepared for the sudden howl that shook through the hallway, nor the searing pain that engulfed his entire body that quickly followed.

Over his own sounds of pain, he could hear Kagome struggling, the sounds of ripping fabric, punches and kicks. Lastly, something heavy being tossed at the lockers only to drop on the floor and not get up afterward. Somewhere in his mind, he knew the alpha had just tossed Kagome against the lockers, painfully, but the pain and sudden want to follow the alpha overcame him. And then it felt like his humanity had been taken away.

When -he- came too, -he- looked around, seeing the familiar settings of the school hallway. Scott wasn't present at the moment, Scott didn't know that -he- took everything in while he was awake. So the first thing -he- did was take in the fallen form of his pack mate. While -he- was upset that she was hurt, she had gone against -his- alpha. Leaning down to get a better look, he sniffed at the air around her. Drying blood was the first, but then -he- quickly realized that she was also drenched in the alpha's scent. -He- did have to wonder what exactly -his- alpha wanted with her, but it was important, whatever it was.

Moving back and walking away, -he- felt the keys Scott managed to take from the janitor's body. Running the claws of -his- free hand along the walls lightly, -he- made his way to where the others had locked themselves. They wanted to be locked there? -His- alpha was more than happy to oblige. Although, what -his- pack mate had been telling them all night had put his plans on hold for a bit, but -his- alpha seemed to have found something he wanted with her as well.

Whatever it was, -he- was honored that the alpha had taken an interest in -his- pack mate. But -he- had more important things to do, which involved with following -his- alpha's wish, and locking the others in their little safe hole. And then killing them one, by, one.

-His- head whipped upwards when -he- heard a voice that belonged to Jackson. As much as -he- wanted to drag things out against the male, -his- alpha needed things done, now. So as -he- approached the door, -he- inserted the key into the lock and turned it quietly so that the others wouldn't hear or know.

But -his- need to follow -his- alpha's wishes, and -his- own wants fought with each other when -he- heard the sound of -his- female's voice speak up. If there was one thing -he- and Scott agreed on, was their chosen female. But the alpha's orders pounded at -him-, so he broke the key while it was still in the lock and stumbled away from the door. -He- internally whimpered at the thought of leaving his female behind, but -his- alpha was much stronger.

The night air was soon being filled with the sounds of sirens, and -he- felt -his- alpha was leaving. Not only that, -he- could feel Scott start pushing and struggling for control. And he was growing stronger, the farther away the alpha got.

Scott gasped and panted as he finally came too. He barely remembered the forced transformation the alpha brought on him, but he did remember that Kagome was still laying in the hallway, alone. He got up and ran towards where she had last been, hoping that the alpha didn't kill her, or for whatever reason, take her, while he had pretty much blacked out.

His shoulders sagged with relief when he saw that she was still there, injured and knocked out, but still there. But realizing that the alpha could have bitten her made a cold fear grip him and he dove for her and began to check her over.

The search didn't get very far as Mr. Stilinski shined a flashlight at them, "Scott? Is that you?"

"It's my cousin... she's been hurt. The others are trapped in the chemistry lab."

"It's alright, we called a paramedics, they're on their way." the man approached them and took Kagome in.

The next half an hour was nothing but hectic. Never ending questions, Kagome being ushered into the paramedics as soon as they arrived, and then him explaining everything he remembered to Stiles. He hadn't felt great about that, the fact that Derek was missing, and now a suspect thanks to him didn't help. His boss mysteriously showing up again also didn't make him look less suspicious. But they were all alive, and all because he hadn't followed through with what the alpha wanted.

Kagome woke up a few minutes ago and was answering the questions she was being asked to the best of her abilities, allowing him to run after Allison to try and apologize and explain things as best as he could.

"Allison!" he quickly caught up to her, hurt that she wasn't even looking his way. "Are you okay?"

"My dad's on his way."

"You uh, you need anything from me? You want me to go with you? Want me to-"

"No. I don't." her reply was short, and cool, leaving him with nothing to work with to try and get back in her good graces.

"...okay..."

"And I don't know what happened to you in there. I don't know what you were thinking. Maybe you weren't, but, right now... I don't, I don't feel like I can trust you."

When she looked up at him, her eyes were full of tears, but she was holding them back. He spoke up, needing to say something, anything, that would make this all better.

"Allison, I can explain..."

"I don't care."

"Just okay, don't say anything else. Please don't say..."

"Scott! I can't..."

"Please just stop. Don't say anything. Stiles' dad is going to give me a ride home, I need to make sure my mom isn't freaking out. I... I'm going to get a new phone tomorrow morning, and I'll... I'm... going to get a new phone and I'm going to give you a call..."

"Scott... don't."

"Wha..."

"Don't call."

He took her in, his own feelings now rushing forward. Hurt, betrayal, frustration, anger... everything negative he had ever felt in his life... nothing really compared to this moment. She was crushing him, and he felt the weight, almost as if it was physical, crushing and squeezing on his heart.

"Just... just, don't call me."

He stood there, watching her walk away her to where she would wait for her father to come pick her up.

Never in his life had he felt so alone.

AN: Well, here's the latest chapter. I hope this was up to your standards. Other than that; read, enjoy, and review!
