Isaac looked like he was having a hard time comprehending what Scott was telling him. "Lindsey's parents kidnapped Isabel?"

"What part of that are you not understanding?" Stiles asked, straddling Scott's desk chair. Scott was leaned against his desk and Isaac was sitting on the bed. "Lindsey's family is the Procurers that Devin warned Isabel, Derek, Parrish, and Deaton about. Devin didn't know it was them."

"And how did Danny find out?"

Stiles dropped his head down on his arms, which were crossed over the back of the chair.

"Lindsey went to Danny after she found out about what her parents were doing," Scott explained. "She was upset and Danny is her best friend."

"I just don't get why she'd give us this information. Deaton said Procurers have some sort of honor system. Kinda like the Hunters," Stiles said.

"You saw how well that worked for the Argents," Scott said.

"This has nothing to do with honor," Isaac said. "You remember how she was when she first moved here? She wouldn't make friends and was very standoffish."

"Kinda like Derek was when we first met him," Stiles added.

Scott nodded. Right after Peter bit Scott was when they met Derek. He was an extremely angry man and just as standoffish. Even with his offer to teach Scott how to control his wolf, it was like pulling teeth for him to even do so. That anger had served him well, but since sacrificing his Alpha spark for his dying sister, his anger seemed to have diminished tremendously. With Isabel's disappearance, that anger had returned and it was taking everything Scott had to rein in the older werewolf.

"She said her parents kept moving her from school to school. She hated her parents for it. This is her way of paying them back."

"By sicing a pack of werewolves on them?" Stiles asked. "She has to know how natural wolf packs work."

"I'll talk to her," Isaac said. "I'll see what her motive is for doing it."

~~~

Lindsey didn't acknowledge any of her family as she left for school. Sean had expected as much. He was sure their once close relationship had now been shattered.

"I told you she wasn't ready," Sean said as soon as he heard her car door.

"It's done," Emily said. "There is no need in complaining about it now." Emily picked up her keys.

"I guess the Valkyrie is in for another long day of electrocution."

"She's going to tell me where she hid the Eye."

"What if she's telling the truth?"

Emily stopped and turned to look at him.

"What if she's not Esther?"

"Sean, that light burst she did is a rare ability among Valkyrie. Esther is the last one alive that can do it. Even her children could not do that. You're going to stay at the warehouse. We've also had special bullets made. Wolfsbane and nightshade to keep the Hales and her children from coming for her."

Sean wanted to protest.

"Enough of your protesting," Mark said before he could. "Now get to the warehouse."

Sean snorted and turned and left. He was torn. He wanted to free Isabel. He refused to believe that she was Esther as his parents did. But he had his duty to his family. And that was the reason he was so torn.

~~~

Lindsey sat at one of the outside tables, waiting for her friends. She couldn't stop thinking about Isabel's plight. The look in her eyes that told Lindsey that she was telling the truth. It had been three days since she's found out about the other side of the world. She was still in shock and reeling from it.

"Hey, Lindsey," Scott greeted as he, Stiles, Kira, and Malia sat down with her.

"Hey," she returned the greeting halfheartedly.

"What's wrong?" Scott's voice was full of concern. "If it's about tonight..."

"When she screamed, when she did that thing she did, it affected everyone. They were knocked on their asses and their ears were bleeding. Everyone except for me."

"Her Scream makes ears bleed?" Stiles asked. "That's never happened before."

"We all heard it that night," Scott pointed out. "Hell, I thought it was Lydia at first before I realized that it was a Valkyrie."

"Maybe we should talk to Devin," Malia said. "He seems to know a lot about Valkyries."

"Who's Devin?" Lindsey asked.

"Remember the guy we were trying to get Derek off of?" Stiles asked.

"Derek being the really pissed off dark-haired guy?"

"That would be him."

"The guy that told us the Mimir Well story?"

"Yeah, him. Well, I think he and Isabel have some history."

"Yeah," Scott said. "The same kind of history that Derek has with Kate."

"Malia's right," Kira interjected to steer the conversation back on track. "Devin might know what we'll be up against. Maybe he'll also be able to explain why Isabel's Scream didn't affect Lindsey."

Isaac, Lydia, and Danny joined them halfway through Kira's statement.

"Why would it affect Lindsey?" Isaac asked.

"Apparently, Isabel can make ears bleed when she screams," Stiles said.

"There might be a slight problem going to that warehouse," Danny said, looking over at Lydia.

"What do you mean? What are you sensing?" Stiles asked.

"You can't go tonight," Lydia sounded almost panicked. "You can't go to that warehouse."

"Why?" Malia asked.

"Because you're all going to die tonight."

"Whoa!" Lindsey said. "Hold the phones," Then she paused. "Actually that might be an accurate statement if my parents catch us."

"What about Isabel?" Scott said in a low voice. "We can't leave her there and Lindsey can't get her out by herself."

"That's true."

"Scott, please," Lydia begged. "Please don't go."

"Lydia, we'll have Derek with us," Malia said.

"Maybe we can bring Devin too," Stiles said. "If it'll make you feel better."

"Make me feel better!" Several students looked towards their table. Lydia gave a tight smile before putting her head in her hands. "Scott, please. If you go to that warehouse tonight, you and whoever you take with you are going to die."

"Lydia, I have to," Scott placed his hand over hers. "I'm not leaving a member of my pack in their hands any longer than she already has."

"Scott."

The bell rang and they gathered their things. Lindsey now knew what kind of Alpha Scott was. He would stop at nothing to protect his pack.

~~~

"In those exact words?" Derek asked.

"She was begging me not to go tonight," Scott answered.

"She might be right," Devin added. "There's a good chance that we may all die tonight." He looked at Derek. "Especially you."

"And what is that supposed to mean?" Derek asked with a growl.

Devin seemed to ignore the growl. Isaac stepped between the two in case Derek's temper ran away with him again.

"I told the sheriff I have premonitions. Which I presume he told you."

Stiles nodded.

"The night Isabel was taken," Devin continued, "I saw her abduction. And will you stop growling for five minutes?"

"Come on, Derek," Isaac said. "He's just trying to help."

Derek snorted.

"But I also saw something else that I didn't tell the sheriff. Something could possibly go wrong," He looked at Derek. "They'll be using wolfsbane. And you will die if they catch us."

"As long as Isabel is safe, I don't care."

"I'm not going to let her live without you."

"How?" Stiles asked.

"I have premonitions for a reason. I haven't been able to do it before, but I will find a way to keep this from happening. Keep Derek and Sean from dying."

"What?" Lindsey just looked at Devin.

"Who's Sean?" Malia asked.

"My brother. Did one of them kill him?"

"No. A brown-haired man did."

"Why am I not surprised?" Lindsey turned to Scott, Stiles, Kira, Malia, Isaac, Derek, and Devin. "If we're going to do this, we need to leave now." They went out to their cars, Stiles, Scott, Kira, and Malia in Stiles' Jeep, Derek, Devin, Isaac, and Lindsey in Derek's Cruiser. Lindsey hoped nothing would go wrong.

~~~

Stiles and Derek pulled up in the back of the warehouse.

"There's a back entrance over there," Lindsey said when they gathered around Derek's Cruiser. "And it's the closest entrance to where they're keeping Isabel."

"The quicker we can get in and get her the quicker we can get her out," Devin said.

"Then we should move now," Derek said. "Lindsey?"

"This way."

~~~

Isabel heard the door open and she sighed. She looked up and saw the blond-haired girl they'd brought a few days earlier. She glanced around the room before motioning to someone in the hall. She had a mix of relief and horror when she saw who followed the girl in. Derek quickly crossed the room and took her face in his hands.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Isabel whispered. "If they catch you..."

"We're getting you out of here." He reached up and snapped the handcuffs and she fell into his chest. She immediately wrapped her arms around his neck. Derek scooped her up. "Lindsey, Scott, take the lead."

"We need to hurry," the girl, whom Isabel assumed was Lindsey, said.

"I agree," Devin said.

Isabel was surprised to see him with the pack. Lindsey, Scott, and Devin led the way while Kira, Malia, and Isaac came up in the rear. All was clear until someone stepped out of the bathroom.

He stopped and looked everyone over. "What the hell are you doing?" he whispered, taking Lindsey by the arm.

"Don't try to stop me, Sean." The name caught Devin's attention.

"Mom and Dad are on their way. I heard Dad saying he was bringing others. You need to get her out of here fast."

"Why do you think we're here?" Devin said. "But you be careful, too. Your family is dangerous people."

"I know that all too well. Now get the hell outta here."

Lindsey nodded and the pack escaped.

~~~

"Open the door," Derek said. Lindsey did as he said and jumped into the back of the Cruiser and helped Derek slide Isabel into the back. Suddenly, Derek, Scott, Isaac, and Malia's heads whipped to their left. "They're here." Scott turned to Stiles.

"You gotta get outta here. Now!" Devin said, turning to the others. "This is what I saw. You can't fight them off." He turned to Derek. "Get her out of here. I'll distract them."

"Go," Derek said and Stiles, Scott, Kira, and Malia darted towards Stiles' Jeep.

"Derek, Devin, Isaac, come on," Lindsey called from the car.

Devin pulled off his shirt, revealing wings tattooed on his back. Derek now knew how he knew Isabel.

Devin was a Valkyrie.

"Whatever you do, get her to safety. Get her back to the vet."

"What are you doing?"

"Getting redemption." The tattoos began to move and his wings began to extend. Devin looked back at Derek and Isaac, his eyes were glowing medium green and Isaac gaped. "Tell her I'm sorry." His black wings were fully extended now. "Now, get out of here!"

Derek took a few steps back, pushing Isaac back, and Devin darted forward as several Procurers came into view. Derek and Isaac darted towards the Cruiser. Isaac jumped into the back seat with Isabel and Lindsey as Derek started it. Devin Screamed and darted away from the cars. Stiles and Derek drove in the opposite direction, Derek surprised that Devin was a Dark Valkyrie but hoping that he wouldn't end up giving his life.
