Selene POV: Over the last few days Selene learned a lot. One there is an Alpha in this town two the Alpha wanted Scott in his pack and three the most important the Alpha is the one killing people.
On a side note Stiles and her started talking and texting constantly but he still didn't know she knew what his best friend was. So far Scott was in semi control of himself the Alpha pushed him to kill and he didn't.
All day at school she had a feeling something bad was going to happen however it wasn't until late at night she awoke with a searing pain in her arm.
She lay on the floor with broken glass around her and blood was running down her arm. She got up and quickly cleaned and bandaged the wound and simply went back to bed after picking up the glass.
At school the next morning Selene was sitting next to Stiles and Scott listening to their conversation about the Alpha. They thought she was paying attention to the teacher instead.
"Hey Stiles would it be okay if I came over to your place after school?" Selene asked.
"Yeah I'll just drive you there after school" Stiles said smiling.
He and Scott quickly dropped their past conversation. On the way out to Stiles' jeep Selene caught a whiff of that cologne in the halls. Shaking her head she followed Stiles outside and then got into his jeep smiling.
He barely drove 10 feet before the owner of the cologne stepped in front of the jeep and fell over.
"Derek!" Selene quickly got out of the jeep.
"You know him?" Stiles asked as he got out of the jeep.
"Sorta yeah from a long time ago."
"What are you doing here?" Scott asked as he rushed over.
"I was shot" Derek said softly.
"He's not looking so good dude" Stiles commented.
"Why aren't you healing?" Scott asked.
"I can't" Derek said sadly.
"It was a different kind of bullet."
"A silver bullet?" Stiles asked.
"No you idiot."
"It was a wolfs bane bullet" Selene spoke up.
Everyone looked at her.
"I'll explain later but right now we gotta get him outta here."
"That's what she meant when she said you had 48 hours" Scott said.
"What? Who said?" Derek asked.
"The one who shot you."
Then Derek's eyes turned blue his wolf was staring to show.
"What are you doing? Stop that" Scott said panicking.
Horns were honking behind them.
"That's what I'm trying to tell you I can't."
"Derek get up" Scott ordered.
"Help me put him in your car" Scott said as he tried to help Derek stand.
Just before Stiles drove away Selene stuck her head out the window.
"Scott you need to get one of the bullets."
"How am I supposed to do that?"
"I don't know but Allison is your way into the house. Use it!" Selene called as Stiles pulled away.
Stiles POV: "Try not to bleed out on my seats okay?" Stiles told Derek.
"Were almost there."
"Almost where?" Derek asked.
"Your house."
"What no you can't take me there."
"What? I can't take you to your own house?"
"Not when I can't protect myself."
Getting agitated Stiles pulled the jeep over.
"What happens if Scott doesn't find your little magic bullet? Are you dying?"
"Not yet. I have a last resort."
"What do you mean? What last resort? And you how do you know about all this?" Stiles turned to look at Selene in the back.
But then Derek pulled up his sleeve to show his wound.
"Oh my god what is that? Oh is it contagious? You know what you should probably just get out" Stiles said freaking out.
"Start the car. Now."
"Yeah I don't think you should be barking orders with the way you look. In fact I think if I wanted to I could probably drag your little werewolf ass out into the middle of the road and leave you for dead."
"Start the car… or I'm gonna rip your throat out… with my teeth."
After staring at him Stiles started the jeep and pulled back out onto the road. Stiles drove around until the sun set then he called Scott.
"What am I supposed to do with him? And by the way he's starting to smell. Like death. What about your boss? You're never going to believe where he's telling me to take you" Stiles said holding the phone out to Derek.
"Did you find it?" Derek asked.
"If you don't find it then I'm dead all right? Then think about this the Alpha called you out against your will he's gonna do it again. Next time you either kill with him or you get killed. So if you want to stay alive then you need me. Find the bullet."
Derek ended the call.
Stiles started to drive to the animal clinic.
"When I used to visit here I noticed weird things going on. Animals acting strange, wolf howls. So I went into the woods to find… I don't know something to explain it. Instead I saw Derek on a full moon wolfed out" Selene started once they were all quiet.
"I ran all the way home until I realized he wasn't even following me. After that I've done tons of research. I know a lot about the supernatural."
"Why didn't you saying anything?" Stiles asked.
"I didn't want you to think I was crazy. I didn't know you knew about it too."
Finally at the animal clinic Stiles let them in. They made their way to the emergency room.
"You know that really doesn't look like anything some Echinacea and a good night's sleep couldn't take care of" Stiles said as Derek took his shirt off.
"When the infection reaches my heart it'll kill me."
"Positivity just isn't in your vocabulary is it?"
"If he doesn't get here with the bullet in time last resort… you're going to cut off my arm."
Derek handed Stiles the saw.
"Oh my god what if you bleed to death?"
"It'll heal if it works" Derek said as he tied a band around his arm.
"Look I don't know if I can do this."
"Why not?"
"Well because of the cutting through the flesh the sawing through the bone and especially the blood."
"You faint at the sight of blood?" Stiles looked over at Selene.
"No. but I might at the sight of a chopped off arm."
"All right fine how bout this. Either you cut off my arm or I'm gonna cut off your head."
"Okay you know what I'm so not buying your threats anymore…"
Then Derek grabbed Stiles.
"Oh my god okay all right bought sold totally I'll do it I'll do it."
All of a sudden Derek started to convulse.
"What are you doing?"
Derek vomited black blood.
"Holy god what the hell is that?"
"It's my body it's trying to heal itself."
"Well it's not doing a good job of it."
"Now you gotta do it now."
"Look honestly I don't think I can."
"Just do it!" Derek yelled.
"Oh my god okay oh my god all right here we go!"
"Stiles?" Scott's yell came.
"Scott?"
"What the hell are you doing?!"
"Oh you just prevented a lifetime of nightmares."
"Did you get it?" Derek asked.
Scott handed Derek the bullet.
"What are you going to do with it?"
"I'm gonna…" Derek fainted.
Scott rushed for the bullet which fell down a shallow drain in the floor while Stiles tried to wake Derek. Selene crouched next to Scott.
"Scott breath slowly. Use your claws to reach it just relax and breath" she said soothingly.
Slowly Scott pulled the bullet out. They gave the bullet to Derek who Stiles punched to wake up. He tore it open lite the powder on fire then slapped it on his wound.
Derek screamed as the wound healed.
"That was awesome! Yes!" Stiles cheered.
"Are you okay?" Scott asked.
"Except for the agonizing pain?"
"I'm guessing the ability to use sarcasm is a good sign of health" Stiles said.
"Okay we saved your life which means you're gonna leave us alone. You got that. And if you don't I'm gonna go back to Allison's dad I'm gonna tell him everything."
"You gonna trust them? You think they can help you?"
"Why not? They're a lot freaking nicer than you are."
"Yeah I can show you exactly how nice they are."
Derek took Scott with him and Stiles drove Selene back home.
They just sat in his jeep outside her house.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you" she said as she started to get out.
Stiles leaned over and pulled her back and kissed her. His fingers wound into her hair as he deepened the kiss. Slowly he pulled back and smiled.
"Don't be."
Then she got out smiled at him then went inside.
Selene POV: A few hours later she was still smiling as she got ready for bed.
"What do you think will happen when he finds out everything you told him tonight was a lie?" Derek asked from behind her.
"He won't find out."
