Part 11
Beacon Hills
Derek walked into his uncle's room and found him sitting in his wheelchair.
"Peter, it's Derek. I don't know if you heard but Laura is dead. She was killed by a wolf. They killed her to become an Alpha. I am going to find them and make them pay for killing her." Said Derek
Peter continued to just sit there showing no sign of response. Derek couldn't even hear a change in his heartbeat. But that didn't mean anything. He knew his Uncle could have learned to control his heartbeat. He gave up after a few minutes and headed out. He decided to walk and clear his head. He headed into the industrial area staying in the shadows as much as possible. He focused his hearing and picked up the sound of a car with what he could tell one person in it. But there were two other heartbeats in the area. He looked to see glowing red eyes knowing it was the Alpha he took off after them. Only to be stopped by the sound of a gunshot and a burning pain in his arm. He looked to see black blood oozing out of the wound. He ducked into a dark alley and focused his hearing. He resisted his urge to growl when he heard a voice he had hoped never to hear again. It wasn't long before someone else joined her and that he realized that he was going to need help. Help from Scott and his annoying friend. He was really wishing that Caitlin was still in town. But for now he was going to have to hide out until he could get Scott to go into the lion's den to get one of Kate Argent's bullet.
Central City
Caitlin answered her phone as she walked into the doctor's break room noticing Stiles' name come up.
"Stiles what is going on? I don't have a lot of time. I am at work." Said Caitlin
"Yeah, well Derek has been shot with some kind of special bullet. He sent Scott into Alison's house to get one saying he will die without it. Oh and he looks and smells like death."
"He is right if he was shot by Alison's Aunt Kate, he definitely will die without it. She likes to use bullets filled with a rare form of wolfs bane. I got lucky and wasn't hit by any the one time I had a run in with her. But I did see someone die from being shot by her. Where was he shot?"
"In the arm but there are black lines moving up from it."
"That is the wolfs bane trying to reach his heart with his body trying to fight it. If Scott can't get the bullet then you might have to amputate his arm. Where are you hiding out anyway?"
"Uh the vet clinic Scott works at. Why?"
"Then you have access to a bone saw."
"You are kidding right?"
"Unfortunately no. Why?"
"If I have to do that, I just might be sick that is if I don't pass out."
"Wish I could be more help. But I got to get back to work. Let me know how things turn out."
Caitlin hung up and noticed her supervisor Dr. Donna Lawson watching her.
"How much did you hear?" asked Caitlin
"Everything both sides of the conversation in fact. I know you know that I am like you Caitlin."
"True."
"Think the kid will be able to cut Derek's arm off if it comes to that?"
"No idea. I hope so. As big of a jackass as Derek can be he is my last connection to his sister and mom."
"I thought Peter Hale, Talia's brother made it out of the fire."
"He did. But even before I got the bite I never fully trusted him. I trust him even less now. He is not as catatonic as he likes everyone to believe. He is the one that killed Laura to become an Alpha and has been killing those he holds responsible for killing his family. He is going to save Kate Argent for last and if I know him like I think I do. He will kill her in the ruins of the Hale house."
"Have you told Derek what you know?"
"I can't. Peter will go after my cousin Lydia and her mom. He will probably go after the only truly innocent member of the Argent family. Chris's teenage daughter Alison. She knows nothing about the supernatural as of this point. Chris doesn't want her involved yet."
"So you agreed to keep quiet as long as Peter leaves them alone."
"Yes. But seeing as Lydia's pretrial grandmother was a banshee, I am 99% sure that she is one as well. So as long as doesn't experience anything to turmeric before she turns eighteen, she should be able to have a relatively normal life until then."
"Ok let me know if you need to go back to Beacon Hills."
"I will. Thanks Dr. Lawson."
"Oh and remember you aren't an Omega any more. Howl if you need help. Though even before you finally accepted Andrea's offer even if it is only because of that psychopath Gerard being in town, there where some of us who would have come to your aid regardless of you being pack or not."
"I will."
Caitlin returned to work. A couple hours later she got a text from Derek saying that he was fine and still had his arm. She returned it saying she was glad he was OK. But to watch Peter because he may not be as out of it as he wants everyone to believe.
Gerard Argent smiled as he looked at the boy in his late teens fell to the ground after being shot with an arrow, the head having been coated in a form of wolfs bane. He approached the boy with a broad sword and took a swing slicing him in half at the waist. He wiped the blood off the sward and headed back to his rental car. He never noticed the tattoo on the young werewolf's arm of a star and crescent moon. Which also meant that he didn't know he was about to have one very pissed off Alpha to deal with.
