Beacon Hills High won the Lacrosse game and the students were heading into the school to cheer on and congratulate the players. Somehow Haven got caught up in the flood of people and once inside she literally ran into Scott. Haven awkwardly moved some hair behind her ear as she said, "You did pretty good out there."
Scott was taken so off guard by this conversation that he answered with, "Thanks, you too." When he realized what he said, he added in "That – that's not what I meant."
Haven popped her pretend collar as she said, "Oh, I don't know. I did some kickass cheering out there. Really brought my A-Game."
Hearing that made Scott smile. "Really?"
Haven was about to say something but one of the players who kept chanting 'State! State! State!' got in between them and the next thing she knew, her dad was guiding her away. Haven didn't even get the chance to say bye or anything before being escorted out the door.
Jackson couldn't stop himself from taking advantage of that situation and went over to Scott. "Oh, ho, ho, isn't that just heartbreaking? Gosh, I bet it causes a lot of sleepless nights. You know what, though, McCall? I actually sympathize, which is why I'm going to make this mutually beneficial. You give me what I want and...I'll help you get her back."
Scott knew there was no way that'd actually work, so he just glared at him.
Given Scott's silence, Jackson continued. "You know, three days makes it just in time for the Winter Formal. Uh...think about taking her instead of me. And also think about all the things you're able to do to get her out of some tight little dress by the end of the night. See how this could work out for everybody?" Jackson smirked and patted Scott's cheek. "Three days, McCall. Have fun."
Scott had to take deep breaths to keep himself calm because Jackson was really getting under his skin.
Haven had her phone turned off so she didn't get the frantic messages from Stiles and the ones from Scott about Derek's uncle, Peter, being the Alpha. She also didn't know that they hadn't told Allison this information in case she told her family and that would have just messed up any possibility at the hope for a cure. Suffice to say, they didn't trust Allison 100% yet.
Well, Haven sat up for awhile drawing a town she had never seen before and yet felt like she knew it as well as the back of her own hand. Finally, she put it away and was about to try and get some sleep but realized that her necklace wasn't around her neck. It was odd because she almost always wore it after Kate gave it to her.
Haven checked her bed with no luck then went over to the desk because she remembered using it as a bookmark at one point. Alas, it wasn't there either. "Where the hell did I put it?" she quietly thought aloud as she kept looking.
Haven's search brought her down to the garage. She thought it might be in Allison's car. It wouldn't be in her own because the keys had been taken away and she hadn't driven it for awhile. Haven was just starting her search when the garage door started opening. "Oh shit," she whispered and closed the car door. Haven leaned the seat all the way back in hope of being out of sight but up just enough to see what was going on.
"It hasn't been an issue since we've moved here," Chris informed Kate as they entered the garage.
"All I'm saying is that firing those things so close by is bound to draw some attention," Kate retorted.
Chris held something up – something Haven couldn't quite make out – as he said, "These things have saved my life more than once. And I know how to be inconspicuous when I need to."
Kate chuckled as he tossed it in the trash. "This coming from a man whose preferred weapon is a crossbow." With a sigh, she added "You know, these extra skills are something you could be teaching Haven."
Chris looked at his sister with a 'you already know the reason for that' expression. "Allison and I have both sworn to Victoria – Not yet." He spoke quieter and Haven couldn't make out what he said next. "But you know that doesn't apply to you."
"I know," Kate replied in the same quiet tone. "I'm working on it." When Chris walked away, she smirked because she spotted Haven trying to hide in the car. Kate casually left the exploding arrow head on the work bench and headed into the house.
Once she was in the clear, Haven got out of the car and picked up what her father threw in the trash and compared it to the one Kate left on the table. There was no question about it now – Kate really was trying to pull her into the hunting world because Victoria wouldn't let Allison and Chris do it. One thing Haven didn't understand was...Why did her mom trust Allison with the family secret...but not her?
The next day, Haven went out to the woods per her usual trail. She had a feeling she knew what the arrowhead did, but wanted to see for herself. "Archery is not my thing," Haven muttered to herself as she notched the arrow on the bow. "Whips, knives, hell even a gun, but not a bow and arrow."
Haven raised the bow and took aim she had no idea what she was doing but let the arrow fly. Thankfully she hit a tree...not the tree she was aiming for but a tree nonetheless. The arrowhead exploded upon impact. "I knew it," she said to herself and once that theory was proven correct, she packed up. Haven was about to head out when she thought she heard something nearby.
After setting the bag down, she decided to investigate. After walking for a little bit, Haven could have sworn she felt the hairs on the back of her neck stand on end. This made her quickly turn around, aim her tazer, and shoot. Haven gasped when she realized it was Scott and quickly turned it off.
"I'm so sorry!" she exclaimed and rushed over to him. "I didn't know it was you, I'm sorry!" After pulling the tazer points from his chest, she punched him. "What are you doing sneaking up on me like that!"
Scott groaned as he moved into a sitting position. "You weren't answering your phone. I found this at school." He held out her necklace then said, "Peter's the Alpha."
Haven was from relieved that her necklace was found to complete 'WTF'. As she placed the necklace around her, she said "You reallyshould have led with that. How do you know it's him?"
"Because he's completely healed and came to see me," Scott replied. "And Derek's on his side."
Haven scoffed because she should have known. "Of course he is. So what's the plan?"
Scott didn't know how to answer that. "I – I don't know yet."
"Let me know when you do," Haven replied then hugged him. "Don't do anything stupid, okay, Pen Boy?"
"I'll try," he answered quietly, just enjoying the moment.
Haven didn't want to but felt she had to pull back. After pulling the used cartridge from the tazer, she stood up and headed off.
"Be careful, Haven!" Scott called out to her, feeling at least a little okay that she knew what Peter looked like.
"I'll try!" she called back with a smile and kept on going.
Haven went home and went right up to her room. As soon as she got up there, she started pacing. Should she tell Allison about Peter? If she did then what would happen? What was Haven thinking, she knew what'd happen. Allison would tell their dad and he'd want to know how they knew and everything would snowball and Scott would get caught in the crossfire. Haven couldn't let that happen.
Now the next question – Should she just come right out to Kate and tell her that she had some weird suspicions and just jump start this whole hunter thing? No...that wasn't a good idea. Haven couldn't explain it, but she felt like this wasn't the right time. That it was...too soon. She couldn't explain it but that's how it felt so she was going with her gut.
Haven jumped about fifty feet when her door opened and Allison walked in. "You're going to the dance with Jackson?"
It took Haven a second to react to that. "What? Oh, yeah. Just as friends. I figured it'd be fine...why?"
Allison crossed her arms. "Lydia is kinda freaking out about it."
Haven threw up her hands and scoffed. "Weren't you the one that told me to keep doing what I'm doing in hopes that Jackson would confide in me?" She wasn't in the headspace to dead with this so she grabbed her bag and walked out of the room.
Allison had no idea what was going through her sister's head. "Haven? Where are you going?"
"Out!" she shouted back and when she made it downstairs, she slammed the door behind her.
Haven really should have reconsidered this because she had no mode of transportation at the moment.
"You okay, Mini Me?" Kate asked as she walked out of the house.
"I just need some time to breathe," Haven replied. That was partially true and all.
Kate pursed her lips in thought before going into her pocket and tossing Haven her keys. "Don't total it."
Haven caught them and looked at Kate gratefully. "I'll try," she teased and laughed when Kate called out, "Yeah, you better!"
Haven drove around for a little bit before going to Scott's house. In the world of crazy, she just wanted to talk to him. She was about to knock on the door when Scott opened it and was rushing out. "Whoa, where's the fire."
"My mom's on a date," Scott frantically stammered.
Haven didn't understand. "What's the problem with – ..."
Scott answered her question before she could finish it. "It's with Peter." He could tell by the look on her face that she wanted an explanation, but there was no time for that. "I'll fill you in later. I'm sorry, I have to go."
She wasn't about to let him get away that easily. "I'm coming with you."
Scott stopped walking long enough to say, "Haven, I already have to worry about Peter with my mom. I can't worry about you getting caught up in this too. Okay? I can't!"
Haven was speechless after his little outburst. "How are you planning on going after him?!"
"Stiles and I have a plan," Scott called back and that was the end of it.
Haven threw up her hands in a 'well then' way before giving up and going back to Kate's car.
She was about halfway home when she got a call from Scott. "Oh, so now you want me in on your plan?"
"Are you with Jackson?" His tone of voice made it clear that it was important, but Haven had no idea why. "Uh, no," she replied. "Why?" Before he could answer she said, "Hold up, Allison's calling." Haven answered Allison's call saying, "Make it quick before I total Kate's car."
"Kate thinks Jackson is a werewolf. A whole group of hunters are going after him now. I don't know why, but I'm left out of the loop on this one, Haven. Do you know where he is?" Allison's tone had the same importance as Scott's did.
"I'll find him," Haven replied and went back to her call with Scott. "I know Jackson is in trouble, call me if you find him first." When she ended the call she had the same shiver go down her spine when she said the word 'trouble'. What was the deal with that word? No matter, she had to find Jackson.
Haven remembered that Jackson put on one of those 'find your friend' apps on her phone in case she ever wanted to meet up with him for anything. After pulling over, she opened the app muttering "You better have your phone on you." It took a minute but Jackson's location picked up. When she saw it was the Hale House, Haven put the car into gear and sped out there like a bat out of hell.
Haven parked far enough away from the Hale House and dove into the hatchback of Kate's car. There had to be something in here. "I don't want a freaking gun!" she exclaimed to herself then opened a case and found a selection of knives – a butterfly one included. "That'll do."
After arming herself, she headed for the house. Haven snuck in the back and heard Derek giving Jackson hell. When she saw Derek's claws, she stepped into view. "Leave him alone, Derek!"
Derek turned his attention to her. "Get out of here, Argent. Or I'll kill you too."
"That's not happening," Scott said from the top of the stairs and with one leap he landed right at the foot of the stairs in front of Jackson.
Haven spun the butterfly knife in her hand around as she readied herself while Derek and Scott both wolfed out. No one had a chance to react before Derek shouted, "Cover your eyes!" Next thing Haven knew, it was like a flash bomb went off in the place and bullets were flying. "Get her out of here!" she heard Scott shout and then Jackson was pulling her out of the building.
"Let me go! I have to help him!" Haven exclaimed, trying to get out of his grasp.
"Forget it, Haven. He's long gone!" Jackson didn't give two bits about them and just wanted to get Haven out of there.
Haven got herself out of his grip and shoved him. "You want to run, then run! I'm going to find Scott!" Jackson was already gone when she started running back to the house when suddenly, Kate was right in front of her. Her sudden appearance took Haven by surprise. "Kate?"
Kate cocked her head to the side and smirked. "Did you follow me here tonight Mini-Me?" Going on that belief, she smirked. "Next time, just ask." Feeling proud of her niece, she linked arms with her and started walking. "It's time for us to have a little chat."
Haven had no idea where she was being led. "Where are we going?"
"You'll see," Kate smirked and continued leading the way down into some tunnels. When they reached a metal door, she said "You know how some families have their secrets? Well, ours a little different." Kate opened the door to reveal a growling, wolfed out Derek chained up to a metal grate with an electrical apparatus attached to him.
Haven's eyes widened and mouth gaped open a bit, not because she didn't know what he was – obviously – but because Kate had done this.
Kate grinned as she looked at her niece's reaction to Derek. "Isn't he beautiful?" Seeing how speechless Haven was, Kate couldn't help but tease, "Don't faint on me now."
Haven's head was spinning because she wasn't sure what to do or what to say. The only words that came out of her mouth were a mildly weak "I'll try..."
