Derek's POV

The moment Tess and Dad arrived, we got going. This was it, she was about an hour north of us. Only Kyle and I really knew what we would be walking into, him more than me. We stopped worrying about police and sped the whole way there, getting there in about forty minutes.

It was starting to drizzle which worked to our advantage some, our scents would be wiped clean. But it was also a disadvantage because any recent scent of theirs was wiped clean as well. If they had Chloe somewhere other than the house it would be difficult to locate her.

We rounded the corner onto their street. The house was set way back into the woods than the others. It was probably a mile between the werewolves and their neighboring homes. Everyone was taking deep breaths, nervous for what was about to happen. We parked the cars at the end of the driveway so they were out of view. Everyone tried to stay quiet as we weaved through the property trying to get as close to the house as we could before someone noticed. It was difficult to tell if someone was watching us though since almost entire walls were glass, which was fogging with the rain.

"Looking for something?" A voice floated behind us.

Everyone wheeled around. Nate and Sylvia were standing behind us. I guess we were no match in stealth for centuries old werewolf packs.

I could feel my skin get hot from my anger rising. The sight of his face disgusted me.

"Where is she?" I growled.

"Who?" Nate asked.

Tess growled at him.

"You must be referring to my daughter," he grinned widely. "Oh she isn't here right now. She's our killing a coven of witches for me."

It hit me; my vision of Chloe from earlier. She was in a car. How stupid could I be? Of course she wasn't here. How could I glaze over the fact she was in a car?

"She would never do that," Tess stepped forward.

Nate snickered.

"Are you trying to challenge me right now?"

Sylvia stepped forward defensively.

Chaos erupted, while we had been listening to Nate; we were surrounded by pack members.

Tess lunged at Nate but Sylvia got in the way and knocked her off her feet. The two started beating on each other. Rachel tried to take off running but a werewolf grabbed her and threw her into a tree. Knocking her unconscious. Dad and Simon were attacked by Ron. Tori was nowhere to be seen with everyone running around but red sparks told me she was up to something off to my left. Jeremy was fighting a werewolf and losing, he was only human now after all. I lunged for my father but was knocked off my feet by Matt.

"No," he glared at me.

Matt's sword appeared and he went after Nate instead. Matt was trying to stop me from getting hurt, he knew I used my emotions instead of my head in a fight. I didn't look to see what was going on. I joined in the nearest brawl.

I pulled Sylvia off of Tess and locked her arms behind her back. Tess got to her feet quickly and clawed Sylvia in the face with her nails.

"Where is she?" Tess screamed. Though it was barely audible over the commotion.

Sylvia spat blood and laughed. The sound of Chloe yelling "No!" echoed in my ears as I made my next move but she wasn't here to actually say it. I let go of her arms and grabbed her by the back of the neck instead. I lifted Sylvia from her feet and threw her at the largest tree in sight. She hit it with a loud crunch and crumpled to the ground.

Tess looked at me with her mouth wide open until the werewolf that had been fighting Jeremy tried to swing a hammer at her head. Jeremy laid unconscious on the ground. Tess was able to duck in time and her attention swung to him instead of me. I pushed her aside and tackled the hammer werewolf.

"Help Matt," I yelled at her over the commotion.

This guy was going to be the release of all my anger. I wailed punch after punch on the guy.

Meanwhile (third person)

Tess stumbled back a bit after Derek pushed her out of the way. He seemed very protective of her right now. He landed one solid punch on the guy, making him drop the hammer. Derek looked back over his shoulder and yelled something about Matt.

Tess spun around looking for Matt. He was locked in combat with Nate. As good as Matt was, he could barely touch Nate with his sword. The Alpha only had a few nicks on his arms. Tess rushed over to help Matt, imitating Derek's insane but working tactics. She tackled Nate from behind. The pair began wrestling and punching. Fighting to be the one on top.

Matt's sword grazed past Tess's stomach by centimeters and into Nate's leg. Pinning him down where he was. He let out an inhuman howling scream. Tess got on top of him and pinned down his arms with her legs. She landed a hit onto his nose. Probably breaking it because blood began to flow.

"Where is she?" Tess screamed again.

"She's mine!" Nate screamed back.

Tess pulled a small six inch dagger from her calf. She had it strapped to her leg in case of emergency. Tess pressed it against Nate's throat.

"Don't make me ask again."

"Tess no!" Matt tried to pull her off of him.

Tess spun around and pointed it at Matt.

"Nothing will come between me getting my daughter back."

Tess' momentary distraction gave Nate the advantage. He pushed her off of him and with a shriek he pulled the sword from his thigh. Before Matt could react, Nate sliced it into his leg for retaliation. He then turned and plunged the sword into Tess' shoulder. She screamed and dropped the dagger. Nate picked it up, examined it for just a second then pressed it against her throat.

"No one challenges me for my soldiers."

A heavy old log suddenly connected with the back of Nate's head. He fell to the ground unconscious. The log fell beside him, no one had been holding it. Matt and Tess looked around for the attacker and saw Simon and Tori standing hand in hand, facing them. There was no time for questions though. Matt had to get the sword out of Tess' shoulder.

The heavy log moved across the ground towards Kit's fight. Whatever Tori and Simon were up to, they were taking out the werewolves.

"This is gonna hurt," Matt grabbed the handle. "I'm so sorry."

He yanked and it came out. Tess cried out again.

"I know I know," he said soothingly, helping her sit up. "I'm so sorry Tess."

They looked around after realizing he talked quieter. Everyone was unconscious around them. There wasn't as many werewolves as there was before, some of them must have fled after Nate going down. But the rest were out cold. Besides them; Simon, Tori, and Kit were the only ones standing. The werewolf with the hammer had gotten a hold of it again while no one was paying attention to Derek's fight. The hammer's handle stuck out of his stomach.

"Derek!" Simon screamed and rushed over to him.

"Oh my god oh my god," Simon shook his head slightly. "Derek can you hear me?! Stay with me!" Simon grabbed Tori, "Help him!"

"Simon," Kit sighed.

Simon shook his head, tears flowing, "No no no no. Tori can fix it."

Tori knelt down beside Derek. She placed a hand on his neck.

"He's still alive."

"Fix him please!" Simon cried.

"Can you?" Kit asked. He was trying to keep his composure but it was starting to break. A tear slid down his blood covered cheek.

Tori closed her eyes and whitish silver light radiated from her hands as she passed them over Derek.

"I can't all the way," Tori said. "But I can fix him enough to get him to a hospital."

"Do it!" Simon grabbed hard onto that glimmer of hope.

Tori took a deep breath. "Someone needs to take that hammer out."

No one moved for a second. Then Kit knelt down, with a shaky hand he grabbed onto the bloody handle and pulled. Derek's eyes shot open and he started screaming. Tori went to work before he would bleed out.

"Calm down!" Simon held his shoulders down. "Hold still!"

Derek kept screaming and shouting until Tori was done.

"He needs a doctor quick."

"Where's Chloe?" Derek looked at Simon.

"I don't know yet," Simon said.

Derek tried to sit up, "We need to find her."

"Derek stop!" Simon tried to hold him down. "You need a doctor."

"Screw that."

"Derek," Matt spoke up firmly. "You, Tess, and I need to go to the hospital now. The others will stay and look for her."

"She's not here!" Derek screamed.

Tori started working on his stomach again, trying her best to keep him alive.

"She's not here," he repeated defeated. "She's in a car..."

He went unconscious again.

"We need to go now," Kit took charge.

They sent Tess, Derek, and Matt off in the one car. Loaded Rachel and Jeremy into the other car. Then went to search around the property. They moved quickly, fearing when the werewolves would wake up. If they woke up.
