Shout out to Shreya and Bre for reviewing! Here's your update! Enjoy!
Jade's p.o.v
"Mood swings at the least of your problems Hale" we all turn towards the voice. No.
"Go! Get her out of here!" Derek orders, meaning me. He growls at Araya. Lydia and Kira grab my arms, dragging me towards the back exit. Cora turns around to fight and Kira still has her katana with her.
"Stiles, go with her! Protect her!" Scott says. Stiles nods and runs behind us, a knife in hand. Araya was stupid to come here alone. I hear Scott and the rest of the pack growling too. The two females and Stiles rush me outside, helping me run. The snarls fade out the further we get away.
"I don't get it" Lydia says as we run. "Why come here alone? Why walk straight into the house when she knows we'll kill her?" Lydia says, confused.
"I don't know, it doesn't make sense" Kira agrees. I slow down. "Jade, come on, we have to get you out of here" she says. I stop, both girls looking at me.
"No, Araya was just a distraction. She would never walk into a nest alone" I say.
"Jade, what are you saying?" Kira asks. I close my eyes and take a deep breath, searching for smells. I can definitely smell wolfsbane, all hunters reek of wolfsbane. But there's something else..
"Mountain ash" I say, opening my eyes again.
"Where? Here?" Stiles asks, looking around.
"No. Back there. Araya's going to trap them, or herself" I say, starting to panic.
"I'm sorry but we have to get you the hell away from here" Lydia says, trying to pull me away again.
"Don't you get it?" I ask them. They all look at me with worry. "We're the one's that just walked into a trap" I say. As if on cue, 4 hunters emerage from the bushes with rifles. The bullets reek of wolfsbane.
"You couldn't be more right" one of them says, all of them cornering us.
"We have to fight" Lydia says. I'm suprised when the girl pulls a knife from her boots. Kira draws her katana, both move so they have their backs to me, keeping me protected. Stiles stands in front of me, knife raised.

Derek's p.o.v
"You shouldn't have come here Araya" I snarl, baring my fangs at her. She just stands their, smirking. We charge at her, ready to tear her apart for threatening to hurt Jade and our baby. I'm surprised when we're all blown back and back onto the floor. I look up, eyes shining blue and get ready to go again.
"Derek" Cora says. I follow her gaze. There's a mountain ash circle around Araya, the older woman laughing mockingly.
"The stupidest thing you could have done was let Jade leave this place" she says. I burrow my eyebrows, turning and running towards the door. But I..I can't. I hear Araya laughing again. I look down at the floor..more mountain ash. "You're too late Derek"
"LET ME OUT!" I roar, storming over to her. Malia and Liam duck their heads in submission to my angry, booming voice. I didn't mean to do that to them but I need to get out. I need to get to Jade.
"I can't do that Derek. She'll be dead within the hour, after we've gotten the information we need out of her first" Araya says. Scott snarls at her demandingly. So she isn't working by herself.
"If they touch her, i'll slaughter every one of them, all of you. Your whole family!" I yell at her. I try to get through the mountain ash barrier but I can't even touch it. I start to panic, the pack trying to help me, Scott's trying to get through to Araya. He's trying to push through the barrier like he did with Jennifer but it's not working. That was a crazy rush of power of him becoming a true alpha. "I do feel bad. I'm sorry about this Derek" Araya says.
"Shut your mouth!" Cora growls at her, eyes flaring up yellow.
"It was never supposed to be like this, this wasn't supposed to happen" Araya continues. I abandon the pack to stalk over to stand as close to Araya as the mountain ash will let me.
"Then call them off. Let me, the pack and Jade walk out of here" I say.
"You know I can't do that" Araya says.
"Why?!" I yell at her.
"She's a water kitsune!" Araya yells back. "That baby is a hybrid, it must be terminated, along with it's mother-" I cut Araya off by roaring at her, letting all my anger bleed into it. Araya takes a scared step back. Araya does not scare easily, not at all. But if I was her, i'd be scared too. I'm going to rip her to pieces for the pain she's caused this pack and my family. "I don't want to do this to you Derek, I have too"
"No, you don't" I say, shaking my head, tears pricking my eyes. "You call them off, you can all walk away from this, alive" I try to compromise.
"I know it's not fair. You find your mate, you conceive a child and then that's all ripped away from you" Araya says.
"Stop!" Cora yells. She grabs my arm, pulling me away from Araya. I wipe my eyes angerily. "Hey" Cora says only loud enough for me to hear. "She's only saying those things so we'll let her live"
"They're going to kill them, both of them" I say, trying to hold my tears back. "That's my baby Cora. My child, my mate. I can't let them get hurt"
"No, I won't let them get hurt. Come on, we keep trying, we will get out. We will save her Derek, I promise you" Cora says, looking into my eyes. I nod, going back over to the pack with her.
"It's no use!" Araya calls out.
"Ignore her" Cora says firmly, taking over the role of leader/alpha for now as Scott and I are twisted with emotion. "Keep going" she orders. We all push againist the barrier, gritted teeth.

Jade's p.o.v
It doesn't take long for the hunters to overpower us. Stiles and Lydia are on their knees, guns to their heads.
Bang!
"Kira!" Lydia screams. I turn and see Kira fall to her hands and knees, cradling her stomach. Blood starts to seep through her shirt. I rush to her side.
"Kira, come on, stay with me" I say, holding my hands over the wound.
"Get up" one of the hunters says to me, holding a gun to me. I snarl, eyes lighting up white. "Get up or i'll shoot you dead right now" he says, cocking his gun.
"J-Jade, i'm okay..i'll heal. G-go" Kira breathes out. I look down at her and she nods. I stand up, clenching my jaw.
"You're coming with us, only you" the man with the gun trained on me says.
"No!" Stiles yells. The man behind him smacks the butt of his gun into the back of his head. He falls forward dizzily but he's not knocked out. Lydia tries to help him back up but both have their hands zip-tied behind their backs.
"Now!" the man in front of me demands. I look at Stiles and Lydia. Then I look at Kira. They're hurt, they're bleeding..all for me. They fought for me. The pack could be hurt, I know they're in danger. And again, all for me. And baby. It's time for me to fight. It's time for me to stand up for myself. I take a deep breath, my eyes starting to glow white. "What are you doing?" the hunter asks. I bring my hands up slowly. I feel the water being leached from the ground. Stop that!" I glare at the man, a wave forming forming around us. "Stop now or I shoot!" he demands. I bring the wave up. It's more like a tsunami. Strong. Pure power. Pure rage. I hear the gun being fired. I swipe out, washing the bullet away from me in a powerful stroke of water. The guy's eyes widen fearfully.
"Put your guns down. Now!" I order.
"Keep 'em up!" the man, I assume is the leader, says.
"I gave you a chance to walk out of this alive" I say. I twist both hands around, twirling the water around me until it's almost as if I had a octopus barrier around me. I use my water arms to attack the hunters. Grab them by their throats and lift them up and away from us. They drop their guns, trying to pull the water force away from them. It's no use, it's like trying to hold on to water. You can't do it. Unless you're me. Lydia and Stiles get to their feet, rushing over to Kira. Stiles manages to cut himself loose with her sword, doing the same for Lydia. I keep my attention on the hunters in front of me, leaving them to deal with Kira. She's strong, she'll make it out of this.
"Jade, what are you going to do to them?" Lydia asks me as I hold the 4 men up as they choke.
"Words haven't been invented yet" I say, my voice more or a growl, my eyes shining bright white.

Cliffhanger! Again! Well, not really, you can see where this is headed. If you got confused with the whole octopus thing, it's like Katara from 'Avatar'. She makes a octopus around her and uses the arms to grab and attack, it's pretty cool :) Hopefully you like this display of the water kitsune's raw power, more to come too ;) Favourite, follow and review!
