A/N: This chapter is in three POV's, Skye's, Derek's and Scott's
Skye's POV
I sighed as Derek kissed my neck and tangled my fingers through his dark black hair and pulled him up to my lips, his hands ran up my side then flinched when he gripped my ribs too tightly
"Derek ease up on the grip" I felt something drip onto my chest so I pushed him up a bit, a scream tore through me when I saw a bald slashed up face strangling Derek with a wire, the wire was being pulled so tightly that it cut this throat
"You're next" the voice said
I woke up with a gasp and put a hand over my rapidly beating heart and instinctively I reached for Derek next to me but sighed when I remembered he wasn't there, after he texted me and we talked, I agreed to give him some more time and allow him to grieve on his own terms, I jumped when my door opened
"Skye" Scott exclaimed making me sit up
"What's wrong?" I asked, rubbing my eyes
"It's Lydia, she called and said she left her house and ended up at the school" I looked at my brother wide eyed and jumped up pulling on jeans and shoes
"Let's go" Scott and I pulled up to the school on Scott's motorcycle as Stiles pulled up in his Jeep, Allison and Lydia were already here "Where is she?" I asked, getting off the motorcycle
"Over here" Allison called
"Lydia?" Stiles asked, raising an eyebrow as we walked over to them
"It's the same thing" Lydia replied "Same thing as the pool, I got into the car heading somewhere totally different and ended up here and you told me to call you if there's a dead body"
"You found a dead body?" Stiles asked her
"Not yet"
"'Not yet'?" Stiles asked "What do you mean 'not yet' Lydia, you're supposed to call us after you find the dead body"
"Oh, no, I'm not doing that again, you find the dead body from now on" I smelled blood and looked towards where I thought the scent was coming from that's when I saw it and nudged Scott nodding towards the direction I was just looking at
"How are we supposed to find the dead body?" Stiles asked her "You're always the one finding the dead body"
"Guys" Scott interrupted them "Skye and I found the dead body" The group looked over to where the deputy was dangling over the Beacon Hills High School sign while blood dripped down it
I wrapped the leather jacket closer to my body, taking in the scent of it as I got ready for school, it was Derek's jacket, he had left it after one of our nights together, I loved being able to smell him and feel him with me, I turned to pick up my backpack when there was a knock at my door, I turned seeing Scott
"Are you okay?" he asked me
"No but I will be" I replied, Scott smiled then wrapped an arm around me, leading me out of my room and we drove to school even though I didn't really want to given this car reminded me of my missing mate, when we got to school I headed straight to the English classroom instead of standing around in the hallway listening to everyone's useless teenage banter
I sighed as I waited for Ms Blake and other kids to show up but after five minutes of waiting I looked at my book then drew the fivefold Celtic knot and filled in what we already knew, virgins, healers, warriors, philosophers and guardians
Each of the categories were placed on a "fold", I listed out the word guardians and philosophers trying to determine what category Tara fell under, I knew Tara was a deputy so that would more than likely go under guardians so under the word I put law enforcement with a question mark next to it and under law enforcement I put past or present knowing that the Darach could sacrifice anyone that had some experience as a police officer, under Philosopher I put teacher, that much was obvious only someone who shares knowledge with others could be considered a philosopher
"What are you doing?" Ms Blake asked causing me to jump
"You scared me" I laughed because I hadn't expected her to get here before any of the students
"I'm sorry didn't mean to sneak up on you, what is this?" she gestured to my book
"I don't know I just…I'm satisfying my own curiosity, I like old legends and stuff like this" I lied and Ms Blake nodded then looked back down at my the page
"You know, guardian could be more than just law enforcement"
"What do you mean?" I asked looking back down myself
"What's the definition of a guardian?"
"Someone who protects something or someone" I shrugged
"It wouldn't just be law enforcement then would it?"
"I guess not, that just seems the obvious category and it doesn't fit the rest of these categories, they make sense"
"How so?" she replied
"If a single being were sacrificing people they would essentially gain something from the categories" I felt tension in the room, something was off but I ignored it knowing I was on to something
"Like what?" she asked wearily, I noticed her weariness but again ignored it and looked at her
"Innocence from virgins, strength and power from warriors, ability to heal from healers, knowledge from philosophers but what can someone gain from guardians?" Ms Blake shook her head
"I don't know" she quickly walked away to her desk causing me to look at her curiously
"Ms Blake, are you okay?" I asked her
"Fine" she snapped causing me to raise an eyebrow at her short tone but then the class bell rang and students began arriving including Scott who sat next to me and Stiles in front of him, Ms Blake began writing on the board as more students filed in and I stared at the back of her head wondering what was wrong with her today, she began class so I let it go and focused on class to get my mind off everything "Idioms, analogies, metaphors and similes, all tools the writer uses to tell their story" Ms Blake said walking around the room I looked out of the corner of my eyes and saw Ms Blake's heels by my desk but kept my head down even though I could feel her glaring down at me, I shook it off and Ms Blake looked to over at Lydia's desk "Lydia, I wasn't aware you had so many hidden talents" she said, taking note of her drawing
"You and every guy I've ever dated" Lydia said making me smile
"Oh, um well, that was an idiom by the way, Idioms are something of a secret to the people who know the language or the culture, they're phrases that only make sense if you know key words, saying 'jump the gun' is meaningful only if you know about the starting gun in a race or a phrase like 'seeing the whole board'"
"Like chess" Stiles mumbled, I looked up at him
"That's right, Stiles do you play?" Ms Blake asked
"Uh no, my father does"
"Now, when does an idiom become a cliché?" Scott knocked on my desk as she walked away and we leaned in to Stiles' desk
"I think I can get to Ethan" Scott said, he must have been talking about getting information from Deucalion "I'm pretty sure I can make him talk"
"What do you want to do that for?" I asked
"The druids are emissaries right, so what if the Darach was an emissary to the Alphas?"
"Okay, first of all I cannot believe that we've gotten to the point where a sentence like 'what if the Darach was an emissary to the Alphas?' actually makes sense to me" Stiles said making me roll my eyes
"Second of all, we're gonna have a huge problem getting to Ethan" I added before Stiles could
"What's that?" Scott asked
"Going through Aiden"
"I agree with Skye" Stiles said "Ever since he's been back at school, they're always together how are we gonna separate them again?" we all seemed to think for a second but then all seemed to get the same idea and turned to Lydia, she looked up at us
"What now?" she asked
"How would you like to help us out?" I asked
I waited in the hallway leaning against the lockers for Ethan, I knew Lydia had to have gotten to Aiden already so it was time for us to get to Ethan, I saw him walking down the hall and as he walked by, I grabbed him forcing him into the stairwell what I didn't plan on was him grabbing my throat, I went wide eyed as he lifted me up against the wall and felt my throat closing up as Ethan bared his fangs at me but I returned the snarl, Scott quickly came over with Stiles and pushed him off me
"That's enough" he ordered
"Well tell your sister that if she doesn't wanna get killed you don't sneak up on another Alpha"
"I could take you in my sleep" I said, letting my eyes turning bright red
"Even if you're an Alpha, you still can't take me" Ethan looked at everyone "Why are you even talking to me, I helped kill your friend" he looked at me, I growled softly only allowing Scott to hear it "How do you know I'm not gonna kill another one?" this time he looked at Stiles
"Are you looking at him?" I asked Ethan and bared my fangs again "Are you threatening him, you know what I'm gonna do, I'm going to break off an extra-large branch of Mountain ash, wrap it in wolfsbane, roll it in mistletoe and shove it up your freaking..." I went to walk towards him
"Whoa Skye, okay" Scott said, stopping me he knew I was upset about what they did to Boyd and I knew he didn't need me getting hurt, Derek would kill him if he let that happen, I sighed and tried to calm down "We get it" he added then turned to Ethan "We're talking to you because I know that you didn't want to kill Boyd and I think that if something like that happened now, you wouldn't do it again"
"You don't know what we owe them, especially Deucalion, we weren't like Kali and Ennis when we met him, we weren't Alphas"
"What were you" Stiles asked
"Omegas, in actual wolf packs, omegas are the scapegoat the last to eat, the one who has to take the abuse from the rest of the pack"
"So you and your brother were like, the bitches of the pack" I asked laughing
"Something like that"
"What happened?" Scott asked
"They were killers, I mean people talk about us as monsters, well they were the ones who gave us the reputation and our Alpha was the worst of them"
"Why didn't you guys just fight back?" Stiles asked "Form voltron wolf you know, kick everyone's asses?"
"We couldn't, we didn't know how to control it back then"
"Deucalion taught you" Scott said
"And then we fought we took down the whole pack, one-by-one and by the time we got to our Alpha, he was begging for his life and we tore him apart, literally"
"What about your emissary they're all dead, Kali and Ennis' too?"
"All of them except for Deucalion's"
"You mean Morrell?" Stiles asked
"Ah!" Ethan suddenly winced, grabbing for his chest
"What, what's wrong are you hurt?" Scott asked and I rolled my eyes
"Not me, my brother" I suddenly felt a crushing pain in my arm, so I tuned into my pack bonds and knew who it was coming from and I was a little relieved it wasn't Derek
"And Cora" I choked out as we ran towards the locker room, knowing that was where Lydia had taken Aiden, as we burst through the door I watched as Aiden hit Cora over the head with a lifting weight and I immediately felt the impact and almost fell to the ground myself, the boys grabbed Aiden, Ethan pushing his brother back
"You can't do this!" he yelled at his twin
"She came at me!" Aiden yelled back
"It doesn't matter, Kali gave Derek until the next full moon, so you can't touch him, Skyler or her" he said, pointing at us when he said our names, Aiden sighed letting out a grunt then left the locker room with his brother I bent down and kneeled beside Cora
"Hey, guys I think she's pretty hurt"
"You okay?" Scott asked Cora, watching her inspect her head wound in the mirror
"She doesn't look okay" Lydia mumbled
"I'll heal" Cora said angrily and turned to walk from the room but stumbled, causing the group to go to help her but Cora straightened herself out "I said I'm fine"
"Do you realize how suicidally crazy that was?" I said, feeling like I was Cora's mother "What were you thinking going after them?"
"I did it for Boyd" Cora snapped angrily "None of you were doing anything"
"Cora they will get what's coming to them but you have to be patient, we're not ready to take them on yet, give us just a little more time" I replied and ignored the look Scott sent me
"We're trying" Scott added
"And you're failing, you're just a bunch of stupid teenagers running around thinking that you can stop people from getting killed but all you do is show up late, all you really do is find the bodies" with that, Cora walked out of the locker room
"She's definitely a Hale" Stiles said, I sighed looking at him and then Scott
"We'll make sure she gets home" I said, grabbing Stiles and exiting the room and followed Cora till we reached the parking lot
"Skyler" I heard a voice whisper my name making me stop and look around for the voice that may not have even been there "Skyez" I felt my eyes change and a smile graced my face knowing exactly who was calling my name
"Skye, are you okay?" Stiles asked stopping when he noticed I had
"Yeah, I'm fine" I looked at Stiles "Make sure Cora gets home safe, call me if anything happens, I'll meet up with you later"
"Okay" Stiles said and turned around quickly catching up to Cora, I ran towards the tunnel waiting for him to show himself and as soon as Derek came out of the shadows I dropped my bag and ran towards him, he caught me as I jumped into his arms then quickly put me down before pulling me into a passionate kiss
"Where the hell have you been?" I laughed after pulling away "I know you needed more time, but damn I've missed you" Derek chuckled and placed his forehead against mine
"I'm here now and you were safe, trust me"
"I haven't felt safe, since you went on vacation" I pulled away from him causing Derek to look at me questioningly "What kind of a Mate goes on vacation anyway?" he laughed
"Yours"
"Yeah, I guess you're right, I get the unconventional one don't I, lucky me" he scoffed and rolled his eyes
"Why haven't you felt safe?"
"Well for one the evil twins are walking around school like nothing happened"
"They're not gonna hurt you"
"Yeah, cause if they did, I'd kick their asses" I said, Derek smiled letting out a chuckle and kissed me
"What else?" he asked pulling away again, I sighed
"Ever since that night when I tried to kill myself, I've been having weird dreams"
"Is it the same dream?" he asked brushing his thumb over my cheek
"No, they're different every night, Derek I feel like something is going to happen I think I'm too close for the Darach's comfort"
"What like you've figured out who it is?" he asked me, I shook my head
"I don't think I'm that close but I might know too much"
"Okay then pull back, tell Stiles or whoever you need to tell but stop trying to figure it out"
"Derek this person is killing innocent people for power you can't ask me to step away from this"
"I'm not asking I'm telling" he replied making me laugh
"Der-Bear that didn't work when I was a Beta you really think it'll work now that I'm an Alpha?"
"Skyez, I can protect you from the Alpha pack but this…this is different, I'm not going to lose you to some revenge seeking druid on steroids" I laughed
"Okay, I promise to back off…for a little bit but if Stiles asks me to help…I'm gonna help, it's in my nature" Derek sighed
"I guess I'll just have to protect you from this…"
"Revenge seeking druid on steroids?" I said for him and smirked making him laugh
"You know what I mean"
"I know, I just love your word choice" the bell rang causing both of us to sigh "Some days, I just wanna knock that thing off the wall"
"Why don't you just come back with me?" Derek smiled, running his hand down my thigh
"I can't, I've got three more classes and I have to help this psychotic teacher with a recital tonight for extra credit" I said, lying about meeting Stiles and clicked my heels to mask my unsteady heartbeat because if he found out his sister had gotten herself hurt, he'd be upset "Ms Blake organized it to honour the losses at the school and…it's just a ridiculous idea"
"No, it sounds perfect" Derek said as he moved a piece of hair out from my face "Psycho?" he quizzed tilting his head
"Ms Blake, she was fine with me for a little bit then out of nowhere she just snapped and has been glaring at me, I don't know it's weird"
"Maybe she's jealous?"
"Of what?" I laughed, he kissed my forehead
"Your intelligence" he kissed my nose "Your beauty" he kissed me right above my heart "Your kindness, honestly the list could go on forever but since you have to leave I guess I can't tell you the rest" I glared at him
"Tease" he smiled at me before pulling me into another kiss and after pulling away he whispered
"I love you" I kept my eyes closed as our foreheads touched
"I love you more" I whispered back, he shook his head
"Not possible" I smiled
"So possible"
"Guess I'll just have to prove it to you later" I pulled away
"Changed my mind, take me home!" he laughed
"Nope go to class, promise you it'll be worth the wait" I kissed him one last time then turned, walking away and it hurt me to leave him there
"SKYLER!" Ms Blake called out when I reached the top of the stairs, I sighed and turned around to face the teacher "I wanted to apologize for how I've been acting towards you, I've been moody today and took it out on you when you clearly didn't deserve it" I smiled at the her
"It's fine, we all have those days right?"
"Exactly, you're still helping me tonight right?"
"With the recital, yeah"
"Great I'll need all the help I can get"
"Okay" I waved then walked towards my locker to grab my keys but stopped when I saw Scott standing in front of the guidance counsellor's office with a worried look plastered on his face, without a single word I walked up and grabbed his arm pulling him into an empty room "Talk to me" I whispered matching is worried face, Scott shook his head
"I never got a chance to tell you what happened when I found Deaton, after Stiles' dad had shot him down, Deaton told me something he said he thought I was something called a True Alpha"
"What does that mean?"
"It's someone who rises to the power of an Alpha without having to take it from someone"
"That certainly sounds like you" I replied smiling at him
"And you?"
"I'm flattered but I'm not a true Alpha, the only reason I'm an Alpha is because Derek's one but I know that's not what's bothering you though so what is it?"
"Morrell, she told me what Deucalion wants, he wants a True Alpha, she said that if he can't have me, he'll turn me into a killer and…"
"That'll destroy your potential to become a True Alpha" I nodded understanding his worry
"Yeah, she also mentioned you"
"Oh this I gotta hear"
"She said he wants you just as much as he wants me"
"Well makes sense...when you think about it, Derek said I'm the first empathic werewolf to pop up in three hundred years and on top of that I'm the only one to become an Alpha, that's pretty damn rare" I replied
"But being rare doesn't mean he won't kill you"
"First of all if he kills me he'll have to deal with you and Derek, especially Derek you know how he gets when I'm injured, imagine what would happen if I were dead it would not be pretty for anyone, if Deucalion killed me he'd be signing his own death warrant"
"I hope so" Scott replied and after a minute of silence I sighed
"So what are you worried about, that he'll turn you into a killer?"
"Yeah" Scott nodded, I shook my head
"You'll never be a killer Scott it's not who you are, we may be tempted by the urge to kill all the time especially now but you never will especially not for power"
"You think so?" he asked me
"I know so, were twins Scott and have known each other since birth, we don't hide anything from each other and because of that…I know you better than anyone ever could, you would never ever kill someone no matter what they've done to you, trust me" Scott pulled me into a hug
"Thank you" he whispered
"It's what I'm here for, your empathic Alpha sister…at your service" I saluted him, Scott opened his mouth to say something but an incredibly loud scream sounded causing both of us to cringe, when it stopped we looked at each other "Lydia" I said then we ran down the hallway towards Lydia's scent wondering what was going on but half way I got a text from Stiles asking me to meet him at his place "Hey Scott, Stiles needs me, are you okay to handle this" I asked stopping him
"Yeah go" he kept going as I turned around and quickly got to Stiles place in record time thinking that Cora was in danger still, I just had a bad feeling
I made my way inside the Stilinski house since the door was unlocked and walked up to Stiles' room, I found Cora sitting on his bed and Stiles and his dad sitting at his desk, a chess board and post it notes in front of them
"What are you doing?" I asked Stiles
"I have to tell my dad" Stiles said, my eyes widened immediately knowing what he meant
"What are you trying to tell me?" the Sheriff asked looking confused, I grabbed a chair and pulled it up to the desk, Stiles had laid it out like a normal game of chess, my name and Scott's were on the brown pawns with Derek's on the knight, Deaton's on the rook, as well as Darach on the other one, on the white side was Argent and Allison on the knights, Kate on a pawn and Jackson on the rook, each name was colour coded
"Where should we start?" Stiles asked, I sighed
"Scott, Derek and I are all werewolves" I said, letting out a breath as the Sheriff raised an eyebrow "So is Peter Derek's uncle, Isaac Lahey and Cora over there, Derek's sister" I pointed over to Cora
"She survived the fire that killed Derek's family" Stiles said, taking over the story "It was started by Kate a hunter, Argent's sister and Allison's Aunt, they are hunters too, Jackson was the Kanima but then he turned into a werewolf, which is all very complicated how that happened, oh and Deaton's a druid, now we're trying to find a dark druid called the Darach who is committing all the murders, we think they were killed by werewolves" we became silent as the Sheriff stared at the chess board then paused
"Okay" he said, talking after what seemed like minutes "Scott and Derek are werewolves and you are to?" he pointed at me
"Yes" I replied
"And Kate Argent was a werewolf?"
"Hunter" Stiles said "That's... purple's hunter"
"Along with Allison and her father" Cora added
"Yeah and... and my friend Deaton, the veterinarian is a Kanima?" the Sheriff asked
"Well, no, no, no, no, no" Stiles stuttered "He's a druid, okay well, we think"
"So who's the Kanima?"
"Jackson" I said
"No, Jackson's a werewolf"
"Jackson was the Kanima first and then Peter and Derek killed him and he came back to life as a werewolf, now he's in London" I replied explaining that the best I could
"Who's the Darack?"
"It's da-rock" Stiles corrected him
"We don't know yet" Cora answered
"We don't know yet" Stiles reiterated
"But he was killed by werewolves?" the sheriff asked
"Slashed up and left for dead"
"We think" I said
"We think" Stiles repeated again and smacked him upside the head because that was annoying
"Yeah" the Sheriff paused "Why was Jackson the Kanima?"
"'Cause sometimes, the shape that you take reflects the person that you are" Stiles answered
"And what shape would an increasingly confused and angrier-by-the-second father take?"
"Uh, that would be more of an expression like the one you're currently wearing"
"Yeah" The Sheriff said and got up, walking towards the door
"Dad... Dad would you... I can prove it, okay?" he turned to me "Come one, show him"
"Stiles, Stiles that's enough" the Sheriff yelled before I could do anything
"Dad, can you please just hold on?" he turned to Cora, Cora sighed nodding "All right, dad, just watch them, okay?" I watched as Cora got up but then immediately went back down fainting, I ran to her side and rolled her over to see that her head wound was bleeding again, the Sheriff joined me then turned to his son
"Call an ambulance"
Stiles and I followed the ambulance to the hospital, all I could think about was why she hadn't healed and how I was going to kill Aiden for doing this to her, Cora may not have liked me but she was still Derek's sister, once they had Cora in a room I knew I needed to call Derek
"Hey?" he answered "I thought you said you were helping with the recital?"
"Derek, its Cora, she…she…she's in the hospital" I stuttered, there was a long silence on the other line
"I'll be there soon" he said then hung up, I sighed putting the phone in my pocket, crossing my arms looking over at Cora
"Skye!" I turned, watching Stiles run up to me
"What's wrong?" I asked
"We were wrong" Stiles said "It meant philosophers as in teachers and guess where all the teachers are going to be tonight?" my eyes widened
"The recital" I answered then ran out of the hospital with him not far behind me
I ran up to the school with Stiles, trying to get a hold of Lydia, Alison or anyone I could, I felt like something was going to happen tonight and everyone needed to be here to stop it we were just about to enter, when Scott burst out the door
"Have you seen Lydia?" he asked
"No" I said and saw the fear in his eyes, I looked around then felt my phone vibrate I quickly pulled it out thinking it was from Lydia but it was from Ms Blake asking to meet her in her classroom to discuss recital stuff
"What is it" Scott asked
"Ms Blake, I was supposed to help her tonight but I got caught up with Cora fainting"
"Go, we'll find her" I nodded and quickly ran to her classroom but kept an ear and nose out for Lydia
"Ms Blake?" I called out looking at my phone, I looked over the message the teacher sent to me, I walked in to see Lydia unconscious and tied to a chair but before I could do anything I was hit in the back of the head and I fell to the ground only getting a glimpse of my attacker and it was Ms Blake, when I came to the first thing I noticed was I was now tied next to Lydia who was still unconscious
"Skyler so nice of you to wake up in time" I heard Ms Blake start and flinched at the use of my full name
"It's been you the entire time…the sacrifices" I asked as she played with one of my brown curls then circled around me
"Well yes…you know it's a little disappointing actually, I mean really Skyler…" she told me "I should have known you'd be the one who figured everything out, I just didn't think you'd be this stupid about it though"
"Why?"
"You're so incredibly gifted Skyler, in every aspect of your life, you're popular at school, beautiful, intelligent, a werewolf and an empathic werewolf at that and you have loving boyfriend…my mistake mate" she spit the last word as if it tasted bad in her mouth
"So that's what this is about, Derek, your hatred of me is because he wouldn't give you the attention you thought you deserved because he chose me, his mate as you so clearly pointed out, over you, a person he barely knows?"
"It was never about Derek, my dislike for you is because you figured everything out" I shot her a look
"I'm not buying it"
"It's true…I know your world revolves around him but no one else's does" she laughed
"Why are you doing this?" I asked her trying to get out of the chair
"I have to finish what I started I'm not the bad guy here Skyler, I'm trying to gain enough power to rid the world of a certain evil"
"Deucalion" I replied nodding
"Very good, although it's not just Deucalion it's all of them, well now that you know everything…I guess I have to kill you"
"Why kill me, I wanna stop them as much as you do I can help you" I replied but she sighed
"I know but he wants you, the power you possess could make his pack unstoppable and he's not going to stop until he has you and Scott, this is the only way to keep him from you, believe it or not Skyler…I'm protecting you from Deucalion's evil"
"Is that the story you're gonna tell to try to convince everyone that killing me was necessary?" I asked but Instead of a response from the teacher I felt a wire pull back on my neck, I slid my hands through to try and break the wire but it didn't work and I could feel my windpipe closing as the seconds passed "Please" I pleaded wheezing "Don't do this!" the wire began cutting into my fingers and I gasped when it started to burn
"Wolfsbane" Ms Blake muttered "A weakness to all werewolves but especially to you" I struggled again but failed and everything went black
Derek's POV
I sighed as I grabbed Cora's hand and watched her laboured breathing but while I was sitting here I couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong
"Derek?" I heard Cora say, I looked over at her in relief and stood up moving closer to her
"Hey, hey I'm here"
"What's happening to me?" I shook my head
"I don't know but I'm not leaving, okay not again" I replied and gently kissed her forehead as she reached up and touched my neck
"What happened?"
"What, nothing?" I replied confused
"You have red marks on your neck" I walked into the bathroom and noticed a thin red mark around my entire neck, it looked as though someone had recently strangled me but knew straight away it wasn't my wound so I raced into the room and pulled out my phone
"Hey this is Skye leave a message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can" Skye's recorded message sounded through my ear
"Skyler I need you to call me back right now!" I snapped before dialling Scott's phone but got Scott's voicemail as well so I dialled Stiles' number
"Hello?" Stiles answered
"Stiles where's Skyler?"
"Uh she went to talk to Ms Blake, why?"
"I can't get a hold of her and mysterious red marks appeared around my neck"
"And?"
"And it looks like I've been strangled, I haven't"
"You don't think?"
"Earlier today she thought she was getting too close to finding out who the Darach is so maybe she did"
"Did she tell you who?" he asked me getting on my nerves
"No I don't think she knew then but maybe she does now and is in obvious danger" I replied trying to not to yell at the usually hyperactive kid
"Oh God alright, I'll look for her and let you know when I find her"
"Hurry Stiles!" I yelled hanging up then paced the room nervously, I was conflicted because I told Cora I wouldn't leave but if Skye was in danger
Scott's POV
"Derek just called me saying a red mark appeared around his neck like he had just been strangled" Stiles said walking over to me as we were looking for Lydia, he had stepped aside to answer the call while I kept trying to catch a scent
"Okay?" I responded not getting how that was relevant
"Scott their bond is so strong that they not only can tell when the other's in pain…it literally shows up on the other's body, so if Derek has strangulation marks on his neck when he's been sitting next to Cora all night…"
"That means Skye's been strangled" I said cutting him off when I realised what he was saying and felt bad not knowing that about my twin sister but before I could do anything an ear splitting scream filled my ears, I grabbed my head as the scream pounded in my skull
"Scott?" Stiles asked, kneeling beside me, as soon as it came the scream stopped
"Lydia" I said then got up and ran as fast as I could to where the scream originated from and found myself at Ms Blake's classroom, I felt myself change form and entered the classroom, seeing Lydia and Skye tied to chairs, the Sheriff with a knife in him and Ms Blake standing there, it was her she was Darach
I leapt over desks to get to her and swung at her with my claws but she countered every move, sending me flying into a tower of desks then landed on the ground, blood spewing from my mouths, I felt my vision begin to blur, as the Sheriff stood, pointing his gun at Ms Blake
"There was a girl, years ago we found her in the woods, her face and body slashed apart that was you, wasn't it?"
"Maybe I should've started with philosophers, with knowledge and strategy" Ms Blake said, walking towards the Sheriff, he shot her but the bullet wound healed right way "Healers...warriors" she picked up the Sheriff, holding him up "Guardians..." she continued crushing his badge "Virgins" she finished then kissed him, exposing her true form and that's when they disappeared out the window
"DAD" Stiles yelled running to the window then turned to me as I stood my holding my wounds, I sighed then ran over to Skye lifting her head
"Skye" I noticed the wound on her neck was smoking purple "Wolfsbane" I sighed grabbed my phone and dialled Allison's number
"Scott?" Allison answered
"Allison I need you and your dad to come to Ms Blake's classroom, it's an emergency" I hung up the phone and listened to her heartbeat, she was alive but if she kept bleeding she would die, Allison and her father rushed towards me
"What's going on?" Mr Argent demanded as he looked at Skye
"She was strangled with a wire that had wolfsbane on it" I explained
"You need to wake her up, start the healing process, someone will have to burn the wolfsbane out of her"
"We can get Derek to do both" Stiles said
"I'll carry her" Argent nodded picking Skye up "Stiles pull your jeep around this entrance the less people that see her the better" Stiles nodded and handed Lydia to Allison, as soon as he arrived Stiles honked his horn and Chris ran outside with me and Isaac following close behind him "Get her to Derek fast!" Argent ordered before Stiles peeled out of the parking lot
"Call Derek" Stiles said throwing his phone at me
"Derek!" I yelled as soon as he answered his phone "Get to your loft as fast as you can, we're bringing Skye to you, she's in trouble" I hung up the phone and looked back towards my sister, she looked pale and the scene reminded me when Peter tried to get me to kill my friends at the school and I nearly killed her in the process
"We're gonna save her Scott" Stiles told me "We have to"
