I looked around at the people next to me which was Scott, Stiles, Lydia and Kira all sitting beside me on the couch in Sheriff Stilinski office, the Sheriff and my father stared at the five of us as we remained silent
"So when did you get there?" Dad asked, referring to when we all got to the substation
"At the same time" Stiles answered for the group
"At the same time as who?"
"At the same time as me and Scott" I said
"By coincidence?"
"What do you mean coincidence?" Stiles asked and I could tell he was trying to throw my father off
"That's what I'm asking you, the three of you arrived at the same time, was that coincidence?"
"Are you asking me?" Scott asked
"I think he's asking me" Stiles jumped in
"No I think it was me" I joined in loving messing with my father like this
"I think he's asking all three of you" Lydia added
"Okay, let me answer the questions" dad said stumbling over his words then he composed himself "Let me ask the questions, just so I have this absolutely clear Barrow was hiding in the chemistry closet at the school, someone left him a coded message on the blackboard telling him to kill Kira then Barrow took Kira to a power substation and tied her up with the intent of electrocuting her, which blacked out the entire town"
"Sounds about right" Stiles said
"How did you know he'd take her to a power station?"
"Well, 'cause he was an electrical engineer so where else would he take her?" Stiles replied and I fought the smile on my face
"That's one hell of a deduction there, Stiles"
"Yeah, what can I say I take after my pops, he's in law enforcement" behind my father the Sheriff snorted and laughed but once dad turned around, he stopped making it seem like a cough
"Stiles, just uh...just answer the man" the Sheriff said
"We made a good guess" Stiles said with a sigh
"What were the two of you doing?" he asked Scott and Kira
"Eating pizza" From Scott
"Eating sushi" From Kira
"Eating sushi" Scott said
"Eating pizza" Kira said
"Eating sushi and pizza" they finally said together
"You believe this?" dad asked the Sheriff
"To be honest, I haven't believed a word Stiles has said since he learned how to speak" the Sheriff replied "But I think these kids found themselves in the right place at the right time and that girl sitting there is very lucky for it" dad turned to Kira
"Kira, is that how you remember it?" everyone looked at Kira and she looked between all of us before hesitantly answering
"Yes" then she changed the subject "Could I get my phone back now?"
"Sorry, but no" he replied picking up a bag, containing her phone and lead us out of the Sheriff's office "Kira, a Deputy is going to take you home but we'll need you to fill out some paperwork first" he handed the phone over to a deputy and the others left but Dad stopped me and Scott "Scott, Skye... I don't know why you guys are lying or why Stilinski is content to listen to this crap but try and remember something, if half this story about Barrow is true then not only did someone help set him loose but he was a pawn in their little game, a mass murderer is bad enough, a mass murderer being controlled by someone, far worse"
"Yeah, we get it" Scott said
"All right, go home it's a school night" we nodded and left going home
I walked into school the next morning as Scott parked his motorcycle and when I entered I saw Stiles over by his locker putting his books in his bags so I ran over to him and yelled BOO, causing him to jump and one of his books to fall to the ground
"You suck" he told me as I laughed and bent down picking up his book and noticed a key ring on the ground
"Is this yours?" I asked, giving it and the book to him
"No, what is this?" he asked himself, I shrugged and turned around to see Scott walk in but he wasn't looking at us, I followed his line of sight and saw he was looking at Kira, Stiles noticed to and quickly stood up "No, no stop, stop" he rambled, stopping Scott from walking over to her
"What?" Scott asked "I need to talk to her"
"No, you need to remember someone left a coded message telling Barrow to kill her"
"Which is why I need to talk to her" he replied
"Scott no way, until we figure out if she's just another psychotic monster that's going to start murdering everybody, I vote against any and all interaction"
"What if she's like us?" Scott asked, looking at me
"That girl walked through 1.21 gig watts of electricity" I said shaking my head "She's not like us Scotty" with that, we all went off to class
I let out a sigh as I sat my tray down on the lunch table and sat with Lydia and Allison, they both looked at each other with a confused look, then back at me
"Okay, did we miss something?" Lydia asked "Or is today act sorry for yourself day?"
"What's wrong?" Allison asked more sincere, I looked up at my friends
"Just stuff?" I replied not comfortable talking with her about Derek
"What do you mean?" she persisted so I exhaled loudly
"Derek, it's been weeks since I saw him last and the whole Jennifer and Alpha Pack thing went down, yet I still can't get him out of my head, it seems like every minute I'm thinking of him and it kills me that he hasn't called or texted me"
"Skye" Lydia started grabbing my hand that was on the table "That's love, that's how I felt after Jackson left for London but you fall out of love and it will eventually go away"
"This is different Lyds, Derek and I are mates were literary destined to be with each other and Peter said that it's impossible for us to be apart and I know never to believe a word he says but I feel it, I saw our supposed future with kids and everything, I don't think I can get over that and I don't know how Derek doesn't feel it to because if he did he'd at least answer my texts to let me know he's okay"
"You may be mates" Allison started making me look back up "But mate bonds can be broken under certain circumstances, Lydia's right you've just got to get back out there and find someone else someone who will actually call you"
"I don't think I want to" they shared another look
"You won't know until you try" Lydia replied and I nodded, after my conversation with Lydia and Allison, I felt a little better so after school, I met Scott at his bike but he seemed tensed
"What's wrong?" I asked
"I need your help tonight"
"With what?"
"This" he showed me his phone and I was shocked at what I saw, it was a picture of Kira with light all around her "It only happens in pictures with the flash and Barrow took one of her the night he kidnapped her"
"That's why she wanted her phone back" I paused sighing because I knew where this was heading, we were going to do something illegal again "What do we need to do?"
"We need to get it back" he said and I knew what he meant
"Were breaking into evidence aren't we" he nodded and I rolled my eyes "Were going to need Stiles, you take Kira I'll find Stiles and we'll meet you at the Sheriff's station" he nodded then I left him and found Stiles
"Okay, this one will get you into all of the perimeter doors, this one into the evidence room, and this one's for my father's office" Stiles explained each key card to Scott and Kira as he gave the cards to them, I sat beside him in his jeep, Scott and Kira were about to break into the police station to tamper with evidence, our record was getting very dirty
"You didn't steal these, did you?" I asked him
"No, I cloned them using the RFID emulator" Stiles told me
"An that's better how, isn't that worse than stealing?"
"It's smarter" I scoffed as Scott and Kira walked away, not wanting the two to us to hear their conversation, I gave my brother the privacy and didn't listen in but I swore I heard something about naked pictures and when the two came back, Stiles gave them the rest of the instructions
"Okay so, now almost everybody's out dealing with the blackout but there's always somebody at the front desk, there's Dispatch and usually a night shifter or two you guys are gonna use the service door entrance by the dumpster, all right nobody uses it now I'll text you if anyone comes out but Scott if you get caught I can't help you, my dad's under investigation for impeachment because of your dad, so if anything happens Skye and I will run and leave you both for dead"
"Got it, thanks seriously, dude" Scott said
"I'd ask my dad but you know…"
"No, I know I get it" Stiles paused
"All right, just uh hurry up" I sat back in my seat as Scott and Kira ran into the station
"This feels different you know just sitting here and not going in I like it better, feels less criminal" Stiles laughed, I started playing with my phone but paused when I saw my screensaver it was me and Derek lying together after we first made love, I haven't had the heart to change it yet, I saw Stiles looking at me so I quickly locked my phone
"So you heard from Derek?" I sighed because I wished people would stop asking me that
"No and I don't think I'm going to, he's never coming back he's made that quite clear"
"Well that's too bad for him" Stiles paused "He left a great girl behind" Stiles grabbed my hand and gently squeezed it
"Thanks for saying that, I need to hear something like that"
"I wasn't just saying it" Stiles said we locked eyes but I suddenly felt really nervous and knew I was picking up Scott's emotions, I sat up straighter and looked towards the station "What's wrong?"
"It's Scott, he's nervous" I focused my hearing in on the two inside
"See if you can find a charger cable" he told Kira, the phone must have been dead, I heard them rummaging through a desk before Kira let out a sigh of relief, then heard the sound of a computer come to life and heard Scott's breathe hitch
"Who's that?" Kira asked, there must have been something on the screen
"Me, it's me, my sister and my dad" I felt myself smile, my dad had a picture of us on his computer
"What is it?" Stiles asked, I turned to him and was about to say something when headlights of a car pulling into the station, we turned and ducked down as the car parked in front of us and my dad got out "Ah, hell" Stiles mumbled as my dad walked around and went into the station
"What do we do?" I asked Stiles as he had his phone out texting Scott but it wasn't going to send in time, he looked from me to the building and then let out a sigh
"Okay, I'm gonna regret this" that's when Stiles got out, running into the station, I let out a groan and felt myself slide down the chair and could heard Stiles' heart racing, like he was nervous, he must have been talking to my dad
"Hey, hey, wow thank god you're here" Stiles said stumbling over his words "Oh boy, thank the lord"
"What do you want Stiles" Dad asked him and I could tell he was annoyed
"Oh jeez…I was just…I was thinking on the case…I was thinking I should clue you in on my thinking , here's my thinking, I was thinking that Barrow right…Barrow received the information about who to kill at the school right you know that, so I was thinking maybe the person who gave him that information, check this out" I rolled my eyes at his attempt to delay my father from finding Scott and Kira"Might actually be someone at the school…and that's uh my thinking"
"You're right" Dad replied surprising even me
"I am" Stiles asked
"Yep we uh…we started looking for links between Barrow, faculty and students last night"
"So you already, then know that stuff, you already know that stuff, you already thought of that"
"Your dad did" dad paused "His one useful suggestion" I fought the growl in my throat because that was uncalled even from my dad
"You know this attitude that you have towards my dad , you can dress it up to all the professional disapproval that you want but I know the real reason why you don't like him" dad chuckled
"Is that so?"
"Yeah because he knows something that you don't want him to know" Stiles paused "And guess what…I know it too" I sighed knowing exactly what Stiles was talking about, we both knew the real reason my dad left us but Scott didn't and we aren't going to tell him any time soon
"Go home Stiles" Dad replied "There's a…there's a curfew"
"What the hell were you thinking?" I yelled at him pushing his back as soon as he came out, not long after he came out, Scott and Kira came out to they were laughing and smiling
"We did it" Scott informed them "All the pics deleted"
"That was awesome!" Kira exclaimed "I mean, terrifying completely terrifying... but kind of awesome, I've never done anything like that before, have you?"
"Yeah, once or twice" Stiles told her making me scoff and roll my eyes
"So, I guess I should take you home" Scott told Kira, she nodded and the two walked over to his motorcycle getting on but Scott turned to her "Hey, you don't want to go to a party, would you?"
"Oh my god I forgot about Danny's black light party" I gasped hitting Stiles in the arm "Let's go there!"
"Skye…" Stiles groaned.
"Come on Stiles...alcohol, dancing, body painting, It'll be so much fun and we need fun!"
"Ugh, fine"
"Yes!" I squealed getting into the jeep "You've got to be freaking kidding me!" I exclaimed looking at Derek's loft "This is where the party is?"
"You didn't know?" Scott and Stiles asked me at the same time
"Do you think I would be reacting like this if I knew, oh god he's going to kill me"
"No he's not, It's you…" Stiles sighed "He'll yell but that's it, plus Derek even won't find out…he's not in Beacon Hills"
"True, I have to go talk to Danny" I ran upstairs and started looking for him, as soon as I spotted him I pulled him aside "What the hell Danny, how did you find out about this place?"
"Ethan and Aiden said your boyfriend was out of town and that you wouldn't mind" Danny told me, I let out a huff
"I do mind, he wouldn't be okay with this like at all"
"I hear you Skye, I really do" Danny started moving me towards a girl with paint brushes "I swear I will clean this place spotless, no one is allowed upstairs, the furniture is unharmed and since the party is already going we should just let it finish" I went to protest but Danny turned me around "She needs to be painted go off of her tattoo and have fun with it"
"Danny, we're not done talking!" I yelled before looking at the girl
"Lighten up princess, get painted up, get drunk and dance your heart out" the painter said before I could respond the girl turned me around and traced my tattoo "I like the symbol"
"It's Celtic"
She nodded and started painting up my arms, chest and finished up with my cheeks, I looked down and saw different shaped stars going down my arms then looked at the mirror and saw a crescent moon around my left eye and more stars on my cheeks, I was painted to look like a night sky
"It's really good"
"Have fun" I laughed as Danny put a drink in my hand and pulled me out to the dance floor
"Where's that party girl that I miss so much?" I shrugged and laughed then chugged my drink because he was right I might as well have fun and Derek wasn't here so I could let myself be a teenager right
"Right here!"
"Good!" I laughed again and let myself move to the music with random strangers before settling with dancing with a blonde guy
"Hey I'm David"
"Skyler" I replied smiling, I knew Derek wouldn't like this but what he didn't know wouldn't kill him
He grabbed onto my hands and laced his fingers with mine then lifted our arms in the air, letting mine fall around his neck as he slid his down my body, wrapping them around my waist as I stared at him, while he seemed to be lost in the music I bit my lip, before turning around so we were front to back, David seemed surprised but went with it
He grabbed onto my hips while we danced to the music, I swayed my hips in time with the music and could feel him begin to kiss my neck and was about to turn around, when a werewolf howl filled my ears, I looked up and stopped dancing because I would know that howl anywhere I knew it as well as I knew my own
"Derek?" I looked around rapidly, it was impossible if he was back in Beacon Hills he would let me know or was this him letting me know, he sounded hurt though, no it was just my mind playing tricks
"What?" I turned, seeing David give me a questioning look "Did you just say Derek?"
"Sorry, uh I thought I heard something" I turned so we were front to front, putting my arms back around his neck but a strong hand pulled me back, I looked up seeing Derek standing there
"Hey, why don't you get off my girlfriend" Derek said, standing in front of me as all I could do was stare, was he actually here I wanted to reach out and touch him to see if he was real but fought against it
"Your girlfriend?" David asked "Well from what we were doing she really didn't seem like your girlfriend" Derek looked at me, anger clear in his face then he suddenly turned back around and punched David in the jaw
"What the hell?!" I exclaimed
"Don't ever touch her again!" Derek yelled at him, David nodded holding his nose before scrambling away
"What was that for?" I asked
"I don't appreciate you being all over some guy"
"You can't show up here after weeks of nothing-" I replied but Derek pulled me forward, leaving me unable to finish my sentence, he pulled me over to the DJ table but the bodyguard stopped him
"Bro sorry, The Bloody Beetroot doesn't take requests" he told Derek putting his hand on his chest, Derek scowled and nodded at him and tried to go past again "Bro, seriously I said the DJ doesn't take..." Derek grabbed his throat, causing him to be able to finish his words
"Derek!" I snapped because that was uncalled for
"He'll take mine" Derek told him and threw him to the side then walked up to the table, knocking it and all the equipment to the ground, the whole room became silent as everyone looked over at Derek "Get out!" he yelled, his voice thundering through the room and people took that as a warning and scattered, exiting the apartment
"I know you're mad at me Derek but that was really hot, you should flip tables over more often" he looked over at me and I sent him smile as he walked closer to me
"We'll talk about that we we're alone"
"Is that a threat?"
"It's a promise" he whispered before biting me ear and pulling me towards the centre of the room but then we noticed black figures began to appear they were hooded with silver masks on, as the last person left, they all turned looking at Aiden
"Guys, they're all looking at me" Aiden said, they took a step towards him "Why are they all looking at me?" they took more steps toward him "Guys?"
I looked at Derek then we attacked Scott, Derek and I all went for the figures but they seemed a part of the air and dodged every move we made, whatever punch or kick we tried to land didn't work, Derek then tried snapping ones neck but it was fine and kicked him to the ground
"DEREK!" I yelled as Scott tried kicking one but they threw him against a wall, I then punched one but they grabbed my arm and flipped me on the ground
Once we were all done they turned back to Aiden, Isaac went for one but they turned, pulling a thin black sword out of their chests, causing Isaac to step back
"Somebody do something!" Allison exclaimed as the two figures grabbed Aiden and one grabbed him behind the ear then he fell to the ground, they then turned their attention to Scott and me as we both bared our fangs at them and backed up in front of Kira who saw all of us shift but before they could do anything, the sun came up and they disappeared into thin air
"What the hell were those things?" I exclaimed and saw Isaac turn to Allison
"Your dad's 24 hours are up" he said confusing all of us, we all looked over at Allison
"My Dad may know something about these creatures but he wasn't specific and asked Isaac and I twenty-four hours to dig up more information about them" she sighed
"We should go talk to your dad" Scott said before looking at a shocked Kira and I wouldn't blame her, she just got thrown into our world whether she liked it or not and we still didn't even know what she was since she clearly wasn't human either
A/N: Arianna Le Fay - Skye reacted to Scott's roar because she's still connected to him through her empathy and because he was feeling powerful and transformed that made her feel powerful and helped her block Issac's pain
Liam won't be Skye's Beta because like I have pointed out before I am following the Teen Wolf show's story line but that doesnt mean Skye might not get a Beta of her own ;)
