Stiles POV: Things go from bad to not as bad to beyond worse in only a few days. Bad: Boyd and Cora the other werewolf in the vault and Derek's younger sister escaped the vault.
Not as bad: Derek, Isaac, and Scott managed to save them before they hurt anyone. Beyond worse: 3 virgins were found murdered one was Heather, the one doing the killing is called a Darach evil druid, Mr. Harris was killed too and now it appears Derek is also dead.
Now Isaac, Boyd, Scott and Ethan one of the Alpha twins were all on the same bus headed to a track meet. Stiles tried to keep Scott busy by quizzing him on vocabulary.
"Yo Scotty. Hey Yo Scotty? Still with me?" Stiles asked trying to get Scott's attention.
"Yeah sorry. Uh what's the word?" Scott asked.
"Anachronism."
"Something that exists out of its normal time."
"Nice okay next word… incongruous."
"Um can you use it in a sentence?"
"Yes. Yes I can. It's completely incongruous that we're sitting on a bus right now on our way to some stupid cross-country meet after what just happened…incongruous."
"Out of place ridiculous, absurd."
"Perfect. Okay next word. Um Darach. Darach it's a noun. We have to talk about it sometime okay? And we're gonna be stuck in this thing for like five hours so why not?... Next word intransigent" Stiles said when Scott ignored him.
"Stubborn, obstinate" Scott said then winced and hissed in pain when the bus hit a pot hole.
"Oh buddy you okay? We shouldn't have come. I knew it. We shouldn't have come."
"We had to. There's safety in numbers."
"Yeah well there's also death in numbers okay? It's called a massacre… or bloodbath, carnage slaughter, butchery wow that's… all right Scott I'm telling Coach that…" Stiles said when Scott groaned in pain.
"No no no I'm all right."
"Well you don't look all right. Would you just let me see it?" Stiles asked Scott jerked away.
"I'm okay."
"Just let me see it okay?"
"Okay."
Slowly Scott pulled up his shirt showing his bloody scratch marks.
"Oh dude…"
"I know it's bad but it's because they're from an Alpha. It'll take longer to heal."
"How come Boyd and Isaac are fine then?"
Scott ignored him all looked out the window.
"I can't believe he's dead. I can't believe Derek's dead."
"Two of you back in your seats. Jared again car sick? Every ti… how do you even get on the bus? Look at me. No don't look at me look at eh horizon. Keep your eyes… keep your eyes on the horizon. McCall not you too" Coach said.
"No Coach I'm good" Scott replied.
"Hey Scott you're bleeding again. And don't tell me it's just taking longer to heal okay? Because I'm pretty sure still bleeding means not healing like at all" Stiles said pointing at Scott's shirt where blood was seeping through.
"He's listening" Scott said looking at Ethan.
"Is he gonna do something?"
"Not if front of this many people."
"Okay well what about the two ticking time bombs sitting right near him?" Stiles said looking at Isaac and Boyd.
"No they won't. Not here."
"Okay well what if they do? Are you gonna stop'em?"
"If I have to."
Then the bus jerk to a stop and Scott stood up.
"Scott… Scott where are you going?" Stiles asked.
"Boyd. He's gonna do something."
"Okay what? How do you know?"
"Look at his hands." Stiles looked and Boyd's claws were out gripping the seat in front of him and Isaac.
Slowly Scott made his way up to them only to come back a minute or two later.
"Crisis averted?" Stiles asked.
"Mhm."
"Okay good cause we got another problem. Ethan keeps checking his phone like every five minutes. It's like he's waiting for something you know like a message or a signal of some kind. I don't know something evil though I can tell. I have a very perceptive eye for evil but you know that" Stiles said.
"I don't like him sitting with Danny."
"Yeah neither do I. I'm gonna see what he's waiting for" Stiles said.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm gonna ask" Stiles said texting Danny.
When Danny responded he wasn't going to ask Stiles sent another text. Again Danny responded no. So Stiles sent yet another message which Danny just ignored. Stiles kept hitting the send button over and over and over again. Then both Ethan and Danny turned to look back at Scott and Stiles who both ducked down in their seats.
"Well that wasn't very subtle" Stiles said.
Then Danny texted backed that someone close to Ethan is sick and might not make it.
"Ennis?" Scott asked looking at the text.
"Okay so does that mean uh…"
"He's not dead" Scott said.
"Not yet."
Coach was talking to Jared before facing everyone else.
"Now the rest of you don't think we're gonna miss this meet because of a slight traffic jam, a minor tornado warning, Jared. We're gonna make this thing. Nothing is gonna stop us! Stilinski put you hand down" Coach said when Stiles held up his hand.
"You know there's like a food exit about a half a mile up. I don't know if we stop and then maybe…"
"We're not gonna stop" Coach said.
"Okay but if we stop…" .
"Stilinski! Shut it! Seriously! It's a little bus! Stop asking me questions!"
"I hate him. Did you call Deaton?" Stiles asked Scott.
"I keep getting his voice mail."
"That's it. I'm calling Lydia and Allison" Stiles said.
"How are they gonna help back in Beacon Hills?"
"They're not. They've been following us for hours. Pathetic" Stiles said calling.
"Hey Stiles. Yeah we're just about to walk into a movie uh you know the popcorn and…" Lydia said answering.
"I know you guys are right behind us. Put me on speaker."
"Yeah okay."
"Okay look Scott's still hurt" Stiles said.
"What do you mean still? He's not healing?" Allison asked.
"No he's not healing. I think he's actually getting worse. The bloods turning like a black color."
"W…what's wrong with him?" Lydia asked.
"What's wrong with him? I don't… do I have a PhD in Lycanthropy? How am I supposed to know that?"
"We need to get him off the bus?" Allison said.
"And take him where a hospital?" Lydia asked.
"If he's dying yeah. Stiles there's a rest area about a mile up tell the Coach to pull over" Allison said.
"Yeah I've been trying" Stiles explained.
"Well reason with him" Allison ordered.
"Reason? Have you met this guy?" Stiles said angry.
"Just try something" Allison said.
Stiles got up to talk to Coach but Coach kept interrupting him by blowing his whistle.
"Coach it's five minutes for a bathroom break okay? We've been on this thing for like three hours… it's 60 miles to the next rest stop… being cooped up for hours is not good…you know our bladders aren't exactly…Coach this is…can you… please…Let me talk! I'm… every time…"
"Get back to your seat Stilinski!" Coach yelled.
"Okay!" Stiles yelled.
"Jared keep your eyes on the horizon" Coach said.
Stiles turned to go back to his seat but stopped and say with Jared.
"Hey Jared. How ya doing?" Stiles asked then he grinned.
He just kept smiling making Jared so uncomfortable he threw up making Coach pull over at the rest stop. Slowly Stiles and Allison pulled Scott into the bathroom and set him down against the wall. Allison pulled up his shirt showing his scratches were bleeding black.
"Oh my god why didn't you tell us?" Allison asked.
"Sorry" Scott murmured.
"Okay just give us a second okay? This shouldn't be happening. I've seen him heal form worse than this" Allison said as they walked away from Scott.
"Okay what do we do then? Do we just call an ambulance?" Stiles asked.
"What if…what if it's too late? What if they can't help?" Allison panicked.
"You know it could be psychological" Lydia said.
"What do you mean like psychosomatic?" Stiles asked.
"Somatofomic" Lydia clarified.
"Som…"Stiles tried.
"A physical illness from a psychogenic cause. Yes it's all in his head" Lydia said when they just looked at her.
"All in his head? Because of Derek. He's not letting himself heal cause Derek died" Stiles said.
"So what do we do?" Allison asked.
"Stitch him up. I'm serious. Maybe all he needs to do is just believe it's healing" Lydia confirmed.
"He's gonna need another shirt. Where's his bag?" Allison asked as she sterilized the needle Lydia gave her.
"Um I'm gonna get it. I hate needles anyway so… uh do you know what you're doing?" Stiles asked.
"Yeah my father taught me."
"I mean how fast are you gonna… I mean the bus like the bus could leave."
"Well you just make sure it doesn't leave" Allison said.
"I can help come on" Lydia said grabbing Stiles' arm pulling him outside.
Lydia distracted Coach while Stiles got Scott's bag. Stiles talked to Boyd and Isaac about Scott and Isaac took off after Ethan. Stiles ran over to Scott, Allison and Lydia.
"Stiles what's happening?"
"They went after him. I told'em what was happening with you and they just went after him" Stiles said.
"Who Boyd?" Scott asked.
"Isaac! Isaac back off stop!" Coach yelled as Isaac constantly beat on Ethan.
"Isaac!" Scott yelled pushing through the crowd.
Isaac stopped and looked at Scott then down looking ashamed. Slowly everyone got back on the bus Allison sat with Scott and Stiles sat with Lydia.
"All right let's go over this one more time. So it's the sacrifices right? Everything has to do with them and someone who thinks he's like a dark druid of some kind" Stiles said.
"Or actually is a dark druid" Lydia said.
"A Darach."
"You know… some ancient cultures sacrificed people in preparation for battle" Lydia said.
"So we got Alpha werewolves against a dark druid."
"Yeah."
Selene POV: Cora and Peter came to her house and when she opened the door she growled her claws already out.
"This is my territory" Selene growled out.
"Is Derek alive?" Cora asked taking a step back. Selene closed her eyes and her claws retreated. Her eyes were still Alpha red though when she opened them.
"Not dead but very near death. I… I can't help you find him I wish I could but right now I can't."
"You're losing yourself to your wolf" Peter said smiling.
"Yes but I will find a way to stop it…or stop myself" Selene said then closed the door on them.
