Chapter Nineteen: Code Breaker
Ares's Pov
After I finally calmed down I rushed over to Lydia and knelt down and gathered her in my arms.
I held her close and quickly checked for a pulse. I breathed out a sigh of relief when I still felt one, thank god.
Stiles knelt down behind me and placed his hand on my shoulder.
Peter stood in front of us and turned around to leave but I quickly stopped him.
"No, I'm not just letting you leave her here for dead" I glared at him.
"You don't have a choice. You nor your little boyfriend. You're both coming with me" Peter sternly said.
"Just let my love and the redhead go. Alright, just kill me. I don't care anymore" Stiles scowled.
"Babe" I muttered, placing my hand over his chest to calm him down.
Peter squinted his eyes at us before letting out a sigh of annoyance.
"Call your friend. Tell Jackson where she is. That's all you get" Peter told us.
I gritted my teeth at him while Stiles let out a sigh before pulling his phone out to do what we were told to do.
I clenched my eyes shut before placing a brotherly kiss to Lydia's forehead before gently lying her on the ground.
Before Stiles and I left with Peter I took off my blazer and put it over Lydia's body to prevent her from getting cold.
After that we left the field with Peter to get back to the parking lot and get into Stiles's jeep and go wherever the hell he wants us to go.
The three of us made it to the parking lot and we got into Stiles's jeep. Peter tried getting into the passenger seat but I practically shoved him into the back before getting in with Stiles following close behind me.
He attacked Lydia, one of my friends, someone I care for, and I don't want him anywhere near Stiles.
The last thing I want is for him to attack my boyfriend the way he did with Lydia.
Stiles drove off while I kept silent, looking out the window as I did so.
It was silent for a bit before freaking Peter decided to break it.
"Don't feel bad. If she lives, she'll become a werewolf. She'll be incredibly powerful" Peter told us.
"Yeah, and once a month, she'll go out of her freaking mind and try to tear us apart" Stiles angrily spat.
"Well, actually, considering that she's a woman...twice a month" Peter shot us a 'charming' smile.
I scoffed and shot him a glare while Stiles rolled his eyes.
My boyfriend glanced at me before gently placing his hand on my thigh, rubbing it in order to calm me down.
I glanced at him and shot him a small smile, a gesture that he easily returned before putting his attention back onto the road.
A Few Minutes Later
Finally we arrived.
I don't know why Peter took us to an underground parking lot but maybe he just wanted to get away from everything and everyone.
Stiles found a parking spot and once he parked we both got out of the car.
Peter did too and since he thinks we're going to try and run away he grabbed the both of us from behind and dragged us somewhere else.
I glared at him, so did Stiles, but didn't say anything since the last thing we want is to get torn apart by him.
We reached another car that was parked nearby and that's when he finally let us go and began looking through his pockets.
Stiles immediately went to my side and wrapped a protective arm around my waist, keeping me close and away from Peter.
"Whose car is this?" I asked in curiosity, still glaring at the man.
"It belonged to my nurse" Peter said as he took out the car keys.
He used them in order to access the car and open the trunk of it.
"What happened to your n..." Stiles trailed off.
When Peter opened up the trunk Stiles and I gasped when we saw the body of his nurse inside of the trunk.
"Oh my god" the two of us yelled in unison.
I covered my mouth with my hand in horror before burying my face into Stiles's shoulder.
Peter, seemingly unbothered, ripped the bag that his nurse had been holding out of her arm before shoving it into Stiles's chest.
He looked at us and glanced at his nurse's dead body before looking back at us.
"I got better" Peter shrugged.
The two of us shot him looks of disbelief but he ignored us and closed the trunk.
Peter took the bag from Stiles and set it on top of the car. He began unzipping the bag to take out what I assume could be his laptop.
"Good luck getting a signal down here" Stiles told him.
Peter said nothing and handed him an MiFi to which my boyfriend grabbed it while scoffing.
"Oh, MiFi" Stiles muttered in annoyance.
We watched as Peter opened his bag and took out his laptop and opened it up.
"And you're a Mac guy. Does that go for all werewolves, or just a personal preference?" I sarcastically asked.
Peter shot me a slightly amused look before turning to Stiles.
"Turn it on. Get connected" Peter demanded.
Stiles sighed and hesitantly let go of my waist and began typing on the laptop.
"You know, you're really killing the whole werewolf mystique thing here" Stiles scoffed.
I snorted slightly and watched as he turned the MiFi around before he went back to typing.
"Look, you still need Scott's username and password, and I'm sorry, but I don't know them" Stiles told him.
"You know both of them" Peter said.
"No, he doesn't" I said with a glare.
Peter ignored me as he continued looking at my boyfriend.
"Even if I couldn't hear your heartbeat, I would still be able to tell that you're lying" Peter sternly said.
"Dude, I swear to god-" Stiles started but didn't get to finish his sentence.
Peter shoved his face down onto the computer, hard, which made Stiles yell and groan in pain as he was pinned down.
"Babe!" I yelled in surprise and fear.
Peter hummed and leaned down in order to speak to him.
"I can be very persuasive, Stiles. Don't make me persuade you" Peter told him.
I glared at him before stepping in and quickly shoving him backwards, causing him to stumble back and let go of Stiles.
Stiles quickly stood up, gasping as he did so, and I stood in front of him.
"Keep your fucking hands off of him, you ass!" I scowled angrily at the man.
Stiles placed his hands onto my shoulders and gently rubbed them in order to get me to calm down.
I took a deep breath and counted down from five before nodding my head slightly.
Stiles nodded back and kissed my cheek before going back to typing, doing what Peter told him to do.
As he was doing that I felt eyes on me and turned to see Peter staring at me with interest.
"What?" I asked in annoyance.
Peter chuckled and crossed his arms over his chest.
"You remind me so much of your father, Ares. He loved your mother more than anything. He would've killed anyone that hurt her. The love he had for her is the same love you have for that sarcastic human of yours" Peter told me with a smile.
My eyes widened at that and I looked at Stiles and saw he had the same reaction.
I bit my lip before turning back to the Hale man.
"You knew them? You knew my parents?" I asked.
"I did" Peter nodded.
I opened my mouth to ask more questions when Stiles butted in.
"What happens after you find Derek?" Stiles asked.
Peter let out a groan before turning to face him with a glare.
"Don't think, Stiles. Type" Peter scowled at him.
"You're gonna kill people, aren't you?" I asked with a frown.
Stiles tensed at that and wrapped his hand around my wrist and pulled me closer to his side, not wanting me to be near Peter.
Peter rolled his eyes before letting out a sigh.
"Only the responsible ones" he replied.
"Look, if I do this, you have to promise to leave Scott out of it" Stiles sternly said.
"Do you know why wolves hunt in packs? It's because their favorite prey are too large to be brought down by one wolf alone. I need Derek and Scott. I need both of them" Peter explained.
I scoffed, "he's not gonna help you" I told him.
"Oh, he will. Because it'll save Allison. And you will, because it will save Scott. Your best friend whom you, and Ares, know so well, you even have his username and password" Peter said with a smile.
Stiles and I remained silent at that before turning to look at each other.
We shared a sigh of annoyance and a nod before Stiles turned back to the laptop and typed in the username.
When he clicked enter I turned to Peter and saw his smile disappearing and his eyebrows furrowing together.
"His username is Allison?" Peter asked in disbelief.
Wait for it...
"His password is also Allison?" Peter asked, this time unamused.
"Still want him in your pack?" Stiles sarcastically asked.
He looked at him for an answer but all Peter did was roll his eyes.
After about another few minutes Stiles finally found out where the Argents were keeping Derek.
And when we saw where he was at we were all confused.
"Wait, what the...that's where they're keeping him? At his own house?" I asked in confusion.
Stiles and I looked at Peter just in time to see some recognition wash over his eyes.
"Not at it. Under it. I know exactly where that is" Peter told us with a smile.
I raised an eyebrow at that but before I could even say anything we heard a noise.
Not just any noise, a growl. A growl from a werewolf.
"And I'm not the only one" Peter said.
I gulped and scooted closer to Stiles and clutched onto his arm.
A Few Minutes Later
After helping Peter he gathered all of this things before putting them into his car, or well his nurses's car.
He shut the car door and perked his head up when he heard the growl, again.
"Give me your keys" Peter demanded while looking at my boyfriend.
Stiles sighed before digging into his pockets for his keys before pulling them out and handing it to him.
"Be careful. She grinds in second" Stiles told him.
Looks like Peter didn't need them because he was going to use Stiles's jeep. He needed them to dent them.
He handed them back to Stiles and he took them with a sigh as he shook his head.
"So you're not gonna kill us?" I asked.
Peter raised an eyebrow at that and stalked over to us, causing us to back away quickly.
"Oh god" Stiles muttered as he held me close.
The Hale man rolled his eyes before turning to me.
"First, I'd never kill you, Ares. I could never hurt you or Emerson, especially since your parents were my friends" Peter smiled.
I frowned at that but didn't even get to say anything because he spoke again.
"And don't either of you understand yet? I'm not the bad guy here" Peter said.
"Not the bad guy? You literally attacked my friend and had your claws at my throat ready to rip me apart" I angrily spat at him.
Stiles nodded, glaring angrily at Peter, as he scooted closer to my side protectively.
"You turn into a giant monster with red eyes and fangs, and you're not the bad guy here?" my boyfriend sarcastically asked.
Peter sighed and looked at me, "you really are a mixture of your mother and father" he chuckled.
Oh for the love of...
He let out another sigh before turning to my boyfriend.
"I like you, Stiles. Since you've helped me, I'm going to give you something in return. Do you want the bite?" Peter asked.
Stiles and I did a double take on that.
My boyfriend stared at him with wide eyes, clearly trying to comprehend what he just said.
"What?" Stiles finally managed to ask.
"Do you want the bite? If it doesn't kill you, and it could, you'll become like us" Peter told him.
"Like you?" Stiles asked.
"Yes, a werewolf. Would you like me to draw you a picture?" Peter sarcastically asked.
I huffed and rolled my eyes while Stiles remained silent.
"That first night in the woods, I took Scott because I needed a new pack. It could've easily been you. You'd be every bit as powerful as him. No more standing by his side, watching him become stronger, and quicker, more popular, watching him get the girl. You'd be equals. Well, other than the fact that you'll have more boys begging for your attention than girls. Maybe more" Peter explained.
I glanced at my boyfriend and saw that he was still silent and frozen where he stood.
Peter stepped closer and slowly grabbed onto his arm and that alone made me tense.
"Yes or no?" Peter asked, keeping his eyes on him.
Stiles said nothing. He was still silent.
Peter let out a hum before slowly bringing his mouth closer to his arm, ready to bite him.
Just before I could intervene Stiles ripped his arm out of his hold before he could bite him, taking him by surprise.
I let out a shaky breath of relief while Peter looked at my boyfriend with a look of confusion.
"I don't want to be like you" Stiles told him with a glare.
He then wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me closer.
"And I certainly don't want anyone else begging for my attention. I have eyes for one person and one person only and his name is Ares Archer. I love him the way he loves me and that's all I need" Stiles firmly said.
My eyes slightly watered at that and I leaned more into his side, placing a gentle kiss to his cheek.
Stiles glanced at me and let a small soft smile appear on his face as he pressed a kiss to my head.
"I see" Peter hummed with a slight nod.
He glanced between the two of us before letting out a sigh.
"Goodbye, Stiles and Ares" Peter said.
With that he got into the car before driving off.
When he was gone the two of us let out sighs of relief as we leaned into each other, holding onto each other protectively.
At The Hospital
Thanks to Peter breaking Stiles's car keys we had to run all the way to the hospital.
When we got there Sheriff Stilinski had pulled Stiles away to ask him a few questions while I had gone straight to Lydia's room to check on her.
She looked somewhat fine for the most part. The doctors still don't know what's wrong with her or when she'll wake up.
Hopefully soon. Because if that bite kills her I will find Peter myself and kill him for being the reason she dies.
After placing a kiss to her forehead and bidding goodbye to Ms. Martin I left the room and met up with Stiles.
The two of us held hands and started walking together, we had to leave and find Scott before the Argents do.
"Hey, where are you guys going?" Jackson asked as he rushed over to us.
"To find Scott" Stiles and I replied in unison.
"You don't have a car" Jackson told my boyfriend.
"I'm aware of that. Thank you" Stiles sarcastically said.
"Here, I'll drive. Come on" Jackson said.
He tried putting his hands on our shoulders but we shoved him off and turned around to glare at him.
"Look, just because you feel guilty all of a sudden doesn't make it ok, alright? Half of this is still your fault because you couldn't keep your fucking mouth shut" I angrily spat.
If Jackson had kept his mouth shut we wouldn't be in this mess.
If Jackson wasn't so freaking desperate to become a werewolf we wouldn't be in this mess.
Stiles nodded in agreement to what I said as he wrapped his arm around my waist and held me close.
"Look, I have a car. You don't. Do you want my help or not?" Jackson asked.
Stiles and I glanced at each other before letting out sighs before nodding.
"Alright. Did you bring the Porsche?" Stiles asked.
"Yeah" Jackson nodded as he took out the keys.
Stiles snatched them out of his hands as soon as he got them out, "good, i'll drive" he said.
The three of us turned around to leave only to stop when Chris Argent appeared.
And he wasn't alone. He brought two of his goons with him.
"Boys. I was wondering if you can tell me where Scott McCall is" Chris smiled.
"Scott McCall? Um, haven't seen him since the dance. Ares, you?" Stiles asked.
"I haven't seen him either" I shook my head while shrugging my shoulders.
Chris hummed at that while raising his eyebrow at the three of us.
"Jackson, you?" I asked.
"I...I..." Jackson stuttered, unable to come up with anything.
"Oh for the love of god" Stiles muttered in annoyance.
"You are an absolute jackass every single day and spit insults at almost everyone and you can't give a simple answer" I gritted my teeth.
Jackson opened his mouth to say something when the two goons stalked over to him and Stiles and grabbed them.
They started protesting and tried getting out of their grips but the goons began dragging them somewhere.
I gasped when an arm was wrapped around my shoulder and turned to see Chris standing next to me.
"Relax, I won't hurt you. I don't want to hurt you, your boyfriend or your friend. Just please walk" Chris gently said.
"Not my friend" I muttered, gesturing to Jackson.
Chris nodded before beginning to walk and I walked with him since I didn't really have a choice.
We entered an empty room and I gasped when I saw Stiles and Jackson getting shoved to one of the beds, both of them groaning in pain.
Chris unwrapped his arm from my shoulder and turned around to lock the door to prevent anyone from getting in.
"Let's try this again. Where is Scott McCall?" Chris asked, this time in a more serious tone.
Neither of them said anything and I didn't either.
We really don't know where the hell Scott is considering we were going to head out and try and find him ourselves.
Chris sighed before gesturing for the two goons to grab Jackson and hold him back.
"Hey, what are you-" I started but stopped.
Chris grabbed Stiles by the collar of his shirt and slammed him into a wall, hard.
"Stiles!" I yelled.
"Don't worry, Ares. I won't hurt him. I just want answers and he'll give me just that" Chris calmly said.
I glanced at him before walking closer, standing next to Stiles just in case I need to shove Chris off.
I glanced over at Jackson and saw him trying to get out of the grips from the two goons but wasn't really having any luck.
"Let me ask you a question, Stiles. Have you ever seen a rabid dog?" Chris asked.
"No. I could put it on my to do list, if you just let me go" Stiles said and I nodded.
"Well, I have. And the only thing I've ever been able to compare it to is seeing a friend of mine turn on a full moon. Do you wanna know what happened?" Chris asked.
"Not really. No offense to your storytelling skills" Stiles said.
I held in a chuckle at that while Chris sighed before slowly letting go of my boyfriend.
"He tried to kill me, and I was forced to put a bullet in his head. The whole while that he lay there dying, he was still trying to claw his way toward me, still trying to kill me, like it was the most important thing he could do with his last breath. Can you imagine that?" Chris asked.
"No. And it sounds like you need to be a little bit more select-" I started but was cut off.
Stiles and I flinched when Chris slammed his fists onto the wall.
"Did Scott try to kill you guys on the full moon? Did you guys have to lock him up?" Chris angrily asked.
"Yeah, we did. we had to handcuff him to a radiator. Why?" I angrily asked.
"Would you prefer I locked him in the basement and burned the whole house down around him?" Stiles sarcastically and angrily asked.
I smirked slightly at that, his words turn me on especially when he's like that.
Chris looked a bit surprised at that before chuckling as he began to shake his head.
"I hate to dispel a popular rumor, Stiles, but we never did that" Chris told him.
He finally stepped back from him and I immediately threw myself into my boyfriends arms, checking him to make sure he was alright.
Stiles sent me a small smile and kissed my cheek and wrapped his arm around my waist.
We turned our attention over to Chris who was staring at us.
"Oh, right. Derek said you guys had a code. I guess no one ever breaks it" Stiles said.
"Never" Chris shook his head.
"What if someone does?" I asked.
"Someone like who?" Chris asked with a raised eyebrow.
Stiles and I glanced at each other before looking back at the Argent man.
"Your sister" Stiles revealed.
Nobody's Pov
In The Woods
Meanwhile, in the woods at the burnt Hale house.
Derek and Scott were walking out of the house together, ready to find Peter and stop him themselves, when all of a sudden the older male stopped.
"Hey. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Something doesn't feel right" Derek told the teenager.
"What do you mean?" Scott asked, confused.
"I don't know. It's...it's kind of like it's..." Derek trailed off, unsure of what to say.
Scott threw his head back and let out a groan before picking his head up to look at the Hale man.
"No, don't say 'too easy'. People say 'too easy' and bad things happen. What, do you think finding you was easy? Getting away from Allison's dad? None of this has been easy" Scott angrily said.
Everything that has happened so far in his life has been nothing but hard and dangerous.
Nothing has ever been easy. He knows it, his two best friends know it and Derek knows it too.
Derek sighed before reluctantly nodding his head.
"Fine. You're right" he nodded.
"Thank you" Scott softly sighed.
All of a sudden an arrow was shot into Derek's shoulder, causing him to yell in pain before dropping to the ground.
Scott's eyes widened at that and he began looking around to see who had done that.
All of a sudden another arrow is shot but this time into Derek's leg, weakening him more than he already is.
Scott grew more worried and began scanning the place, trying to find out who was attacking them. It definitely had to be the Argents but he didn't know if it was Kate herself or Kate and Chris.
Derek, however, managed to see Kate and Allison from nearby.
Not only that, but he saw Allison getting ready to shoot another arrow.
But this time it wasn't just a regular arrow. It was a flash bolt arrow.
"Scott, your eyes!" Derek yelled.
Unfortunately, Allison had already shot the arrow into a nearby tree which created an explosion.
Scott, having been near the tree, and not having time to cover his eyes, fell to the ground and landed onto his stomach.
He tried getting up but couldn't. Not only that but his vision was a bit blurry, making him panic even more.
Derek looked at the teenager in worry before sitting up from the ground. He yelled in pain before ripping out the arrow from his shoulder. He quickly did the same to the arrow in his leg and tossed them aside.
He got up and rushed over to Scott and grabbed his arm.
"Get up! Let's go!" Derek yelled.
The two of them began running once Derek had gotten Scott up from the ground, neither of them looking back to see Kate and Allison making their way towards them.
Unfortunately, Derek was still weak due to the arrows and he fell back to the ground.
He gritted his teeth before shoving Scott forward.
"Scott, go!" Derek yelled, wanting him to run away and get somewhere safe.
The teen tried getting up, tried running to get away and get somewhere safe, but his vision was still blurry that he could barely see anything.
However, his vision began to clear up and he could see a figure walking towards him.
As the figure got closer, the McCall boys eyes widened when he saw that it was Allison walking towards him.
And she didn't look happy.
"Allison, I can explain" Scott told the girl.
"Stop lying. For once stop lying" Allison glared at him.
Scott sighed but nodded. His vision began to clear up as the girl was now standing in front of him.
"I was gonna tell you the truth at the formal. I was gonna tell you everything" Scott told her.
Allison rolled her eyes and shook her head in annoyance and disbelief.
"Because everything that I said, everything that I did..." Scott trailed off.
"Was to protect me" Allison finished.
"Yes" Scott nodded, hoping she would understand.
Allison stared down at the boy with confusion. But if you were to look closely you can tell a slight flicker of hope.
She wanted to believe him, her heart was telling her to believe him and to not let Kate get to her and to not attack him any further.
However, her mind was still on everything that happened. From meeting Scott, from his weirdness, the start of his lies, the night at the school when they were trapped, seeing him transform at the formal and seeing Lydia in the hospital badly injured.
"I don't believe you" Allison told him with a serious face.
Scott frowned, feeling his heart shatter into a million pieces.
However, before either of them could say anything another voice spoke up.
"Thank God. Now, shoot him before I have to shoot myself" Kate groaned as she walked over to the pair.
Scott's eyes widened at that while Allison tore her eyes away from him and to the Argent woman.
"Y...you said we were just gonna catch them?" Allison frowned, looking at her aunt in confusion.
"We did that. Now we're gonna kill them" Kate told her.
She aimed her gun at Derek, who was beginning to recover, and shot the Hale man who yelled in pain and dropped back to the ground.
Scott gasped and crawled backwards while Allison jumped and looked at her aunt with wide eyes.
"See? Not that hard" Kate smiled 'innocently' at her niece.
Allison said nothing and stared at her aunt with wide eyes, clearly in disbelief and conflicted on what to do.
Kate noticed her look and let out a groan as she stopped to stand next to Allison.
"Oh no, I know that look. That's the 'you're gonna have to do it yourself' look" Kate sighed.
She shot her niece a disappointed look before sucking her teeth.
She aimed her gun at Scott and his eyes widened and he gulped in fear.
"Kate, Kate, what are you doing?" Allison asked in fear.
While she was angry at Scott for lying to her she didn't want him to die. She didn't want any of that.
She tried to stop her aunt, tried to pull her back, tried to take the gun out of her hands, but Kate shoved her to the ground.
Scott glanced at Allison, who was on the ground and looking at her aunt with wide eyes, before turning back to the Argent woman.
Kate stared directly at Scott as she pointed her gun directly into his face, letting out a sigh.
"I love those brown eyes" Kate mockingly said.
A smirk appeared on her face and got ready to pull the trigger.
"Kate!"
Everyone turned around and saw Chris Argent walking towards them.
If you were to look closely, you could see his eyes were red from the slight crying he had been doing a few minutes ago back at the hospital.
Various emotions were running through his eyes and his veins. The main ones being sadness, betrayal and...rage.
Chris stopped walking and stood where he stood, staring at his sister with a hard expression.
"I know what you did" Chris revealed.
Kate's eyes widened at that while Scott and Allison glanced between the two Argent siblings.
"Put the gun down" Chris ordered his sister.
"I did what I was told to do" Kate told her brother, trying to justify her actions.
"No one asked you to murder innocent people. There were children in that house, ones who were human" Chris angrily told her.
He clenched his fists at his sides and tried to hold back the tears that were threatening to spill.
"Sienna and Jonathan were in the house that night and you still killed them. I lost my best friends. Two kids are orphans because of you" Chris scowled.
A gasp was heard and everyone turned to Scott who was staring at Kate with wide eyes.
"You killed Emerson and Ares parents?" Scott asked in disbelief.
Allison felt her eyes widening at that.
She couldn't believe that her aunt was cruel to take away the parents of her friend.
Kate pressed her lips together and glanced between Scott and Allison before her eyes drifted back to her brother.
"Sienna and Jonathan were traitors because they were friends with werewolves. Specifically the Hale family. Any hunter that goes against us and side with those animals are no friends of mine" Kate told her brother.
"Don't call them that!" Chris angrily yelled.
This startled everyone, especially Kate herself.
"Don't ever speak that way about them ever again. As far as I'm concerned, the only traitor here is you" Chris gritted his teeth.
Kate looked at her brother with wide eyes, not believing that he would say something like that to her.
When Chris felt himself calm down, slightly, he pointed a finger into Scott's direction.
"Look what you're doing now. You're holding a gun at a 16 year old boy with no proof he spilled human blood" Chris told her.
Kate held in a groan, she always hated how much of a follower her brother was of the code.
She hated how almost all the hunters in their family went by the freaking code.
"We go by the code. Nous chassons ceux qui nous chassent" Chris reminded her.
Allison furrowed her eyebrows together, "we hunt those who hunt us" she whispered.
Chris glanced at his daughter and slightly nodded his head before turning back to his sister.
Then to the surprise of everyone, he took out a gun and aimed it at her.
"Put the gun down" Chris ordered her.
Kate looked at her brother with narrowed eyes before turning her attention back onto Scott.
Her finger was still on the trigger and she started to move it, getting ready to pull it.
Chris noticed and, without hesitation, pulled the trigger.
Everyone jumped back when the bullet hit the tree that was behind Kate, everyone releasing breaths they didn't know they were holding.
Kate breathed out a gasp of disbelief as she turned to her brother with wide eyes.
She couldn't believe that he actually pulled the trigger.
She couldn't believe that her own brother was willing to kill her.
"Before I put you down" Chris told her, his facial expression and tone indicating that he was dead serious.
Kate pressed her lips together, various emotions coursing through her, before she swallowed thickly.
Everyone watched as she slowly put the gun down as her eyes remained on her brother who continued staring at her emotionlessly.
Scott breathed out a sigh of relief, thankful that a gun wasn't being aimed at him any longer.
Allison was in the same state as him, relieved that the McCall boy wasn't going to be killed at the hands of her aunt.
Then all of a sudden...
Bang!
Bang!
Everyone screamed and watched as Kate cried out in pain and fell to the ground on her knees.
Her hand went to clutch her shoulder, the shoulder that had been shot, while blood was oozing out of her right leg.
Everyone turned around and their eyes widened at the person that had shot Kate.
And they were met with...
"Emerson" Scott gasped out.
Emerson Archer.
The one that had shot Kate.
The one that currently had a glare on her face that was directly aimed at the woman that was kneeling on the ground, staring at her with wide eyes.
Scott took in her appearance and saw her wearing a black tank top, green jeans, black combat boots and her hair was tied into a ponytail.
"Unfortunately for her I have no problem putting her down" Emerson spoke.
She put her gun away and took out two daggers, twirling them a few times before stopping.
"Because I'm going to murder this bitch for taking my parents away from me!" Emerson angrily spat.
She started making her way over to Kate, who was still staring at her with wide eyes, with her teeth gritted so hard that you could hear some cracking.
Just before Chris could stop her a loud creak was heard which made Emerson stop in her tracks.
Her and Chris turned around and saw the door of the burnt Hale house slowly opening.
Chris and Emerson shared a look before turning around and readying their weapons.
"Allison, get back" Chris ordered his daughter.
Kate slowly got up from the ground and took out her spare gun and aimed it towards the door.
Allison got up and walked a bit forward, standing behind her aunt.
"What is it?" Allison asked in confusion and fear.
Scott gritted his teeth together as a glare appeared on his face.
"It's the Alpha" Scott told her as his eyes glowed.
Emerson shot him a glance, a frown on her face, before turning back around.
The alpha ran out of the house as fast as lightning that none of them saw him leaving in the first place, but they were still on high alert.
Kate, Chris and Emerson had their guns out. Allison picked up her bow and arrow while Scott was ready to wolf out.
All of a sudden the alpha ran at Chris and knocked him to the ground.
Then the alpha knocked Allison to the ground.
Then Scott, who groaned in pain.
Emerson waited for the alpha to knock her down but he didn't. He simply ignored her and focused on the other person standing.
Kate.
Emerson pressed her lips together, deciding to let the alpha deal with her, before rushing over to Derek to make sure he was alright.
"Come on! Come on!" Kate yelled, spinning around while gripping her gun tightly in her hands.
She kept on turning around but when she turned to her left side she came face to face with the alpha.
In human form...
Peter Hale.
He had an emotionless expression plastered on his face as he twisted Kate's arm, causing her to yell in pain, before breaking her wrist.
Kate yells more in pain as she drops her gun. Peter grabs her by the throat and throws her to the house.
Kate groans more in pain and tries to get back up but Peter is already stalking over to her. He grabs her as tightly as he can, not wanting her to get away, and drags her inside the house.
Allison, having woken up a while ago, turned around and her eyes widened when she saw her aunt getting dragged inside the house.
"No!" Allison yelled.
She got up and ran towards the house and ran inside.
Emerson groaned in annoyance before placing a kiss to Derek's forehead and shooting up from the ground and rushing inside the house.
As soon as she got inside she rushed over to Allison and was about to drag her back outside when she stopped.
She looked forward and saw Peter standing behind Kate, a clawed hand at her throat.
"She is beautiful, Kate. She looks like you. Probably not as damaged. So I'm going to give you a chance to save her. Apologize. Say that you're sorry for decimating my family, for leaving me burned and broken for six years" Peter's voice broke slightly at the end.
Allison had tears in her eyes as she stared at the scene in front of her.
Emerson pressed her lips together as she walked closer, standing next to the Argent girl.
"Not only that, but say that you're sorry for taking my parents away from me. For leaving my little brother and I orphans and learning how to get on with our lives alone without our parents help and guidance" Emerson added.
She's not going to lie when she says that she wants that bitch to die.
She knows that whether Kate apologizes or not, it won't bring back Peter and Derek's family.
And it won't bring back her parents.
What she wants is for that Argent bitch to pay for taking them away from them.
"Say it...and I'll let her live" Peter finished.
Allison let the tears fall down her face as she shot her aunt a pleading look, pleading with her to do as told.
Kate glanced at her niece before letting out a quiet sigh.
"I'm sorry" Kate finally said.
Emerson resisted the urge to scoff and she looked at Peter and saw him wearing the same expression as her.
Peter's eyes met hers and the Archer girl nodded at him.
Peter nodded back before finally slashing Kate's throat, causing blood to sprout towards a nearby window.
Allison gasped in horror and tried rushing to her aunt but Emerson held the girl back.
Allison watched in horror as her aunt's dead body fell to the ground with a loud thud, her eyes were still open but also lifeless.
Emerson let a faint smirk appear on her face before looking back at Peter again, watching as Allison did the same.
"I don't know about you, Allison, but that apology..." Peter trailed off.
He looked up at the girl and saw more tears streaming down her cheeks.
He glanced at Emerson and smirked slightly when he saw how pleased she looked that Kate was now dead.
"Didn't sound very sincere" Peter finished.
Allison said nothing and simply stared at the man. Emerson did the same.
Peter began walking to the girls and Emerson quickly grabbed Allison's wrist and pulled her back, not wanting Peter to get her.
All of a sudden a growl was heard.
They all turned around and saw Scott standing there in his wolf form.
They heard footsteps and turned around and saw Derek walking in and he was also in his wolf form.
Emerson let a small sigh of relief escape her mouth when she saw her boyfriend was alright.
"Run!" Scott yelled to the two girls.
Emerson looked at Derek and the man glanced at his girlfriend and nodded.
Emerson nodded back and quickly grabbed Allison and led her out of the house, letting the two werewolves take care of the alpha werewolf.
Ares's Pov
After Chris and his goons left Jackson, Stiles and I left the hospital and got into Jackson's car to head to the Hale house.
The others are going to need our help. Scott is going to need our help.
This ends tonight one way or another.
Stiles and I were in the front, with my boyfriend driving, while Jackson was sitting in the back.
Stiles was driving as fast as he could, bumping into a few things right and left, since we couldn't waste time.
Jackson let out a small groan of pain as he scooted closer so he could talk to us.
"Hey, hey, hey. This isn't exactly an all terrain vehicle" Jackson told my boyfriend.
"Yeah. Did you pay for it?" Stiles asked.
Jackson pressed his lips together and hesitated, "no" he replied.
"Then shut up" Stiles and I said in unison.
Stiles quickly made a turn, sending Jackson back, while I steadied myself just in case.
Finally, we arrived at the woods where the house was located just in time to see Scott and Peter, in his monster form, standing face to face.
Stiles parked the car while honking the horn as the three of us got out.
The alpha turned to us and that's when Stiles throws one of Lydia's molotov cocktails at him.
Unfortunately, he catches it and roars at us as his eyes turn red.
"Oh for the love of god!" I yelled in anger.
Scott turned around and saw crossbow along with some arrows on the ground and turned to Allison, who was knelt at her fathers side.
My eyes widened when I saw Emerson knelt at Chris's other side, checking to make sure he still had a pulse.
What the hell is my sister doing here...?
"Allison!" Scott yelled.
He quickly grabbed the crossbow and arrows and tossed it over to the girl who quickly caught them.
The alpha turned to the girl, ready to throw the beaker at her, but Allison was faster and quickly shot her arrow at the beaker.
Our eyes widened when the beaker exploded in his hand, creating a large fire that started to surround his entire arm.
He tried shaking it off but it was completely useless.
"Jackson! Now!" I yelled as I turned to the boy.
Jackson nodded and quickly threw the second beaker that had the second molotov cocktail towards the alpha.
His entire body begins to burn as we all watch with wide eyes in shock and slight awe.
Then he turns to Allison and tries to attack her, clearly pissed that she was the reason he's on fire right now.
Scott's eyes widened and he quickly shot up from the ground, "no!" he yelled.
Emerson rushed over to Allison and tackled her to the ground, using her body as a shield in order to protect her.
Scott leaps forward and punches the alpha in the face.
The punch is enough to send him staggering backwards and before we knew it he was shifting back into human form.
Peter choked a few times as his eyes rolled to the back of his head before he collapsed onto the ground.
I sighed in relief and stumbled backwards, almost falling had Stiles not grabbed me and held me up.
"Thank god" I whispered.
"I know. I know" Stiles whispered back while nodding his head.
Em, after making sure Allison was alright, shot up from the ground and rushed over to us.
She pulled me out of Stiles's arms and pulled me into a tight hug. And, despite the confusion and curiosity, I hugged her back while resting my head on her shoulder.
We remained that way for a few seconds before pulling away. Em smiled at me and kissed my forehead, making me smile at her.
We turned around just in time to see Allison kneeling in front of Scott, placing her fingers under her chin and turning his face around.
They stared at each other for a few seconds before Allison leaned in and kissed Scott softly on the lips.
They kissed for a few seconds before pulling away.
"Why did you do that?" Scott asked, confused.
Allison sent him a small soft smile, "because I love you" she told him.
Scott stared at her in disbelief before letting a small relieved and happy smile appear on his face. Allison smiled back at him.
Stiles and I smiled at them while Em chuckled softly while shaking her head.
We heard movement and looked to see Chris waking up. He turned around and saw Allison and Scott with their foreheads pressed together.
He didn't look happy, at all, but he said nothing and slowly stood up from the ground.
All of a sudden we hear footsteps and we all turn around to see Derek walking towards his uncle.
Scott glanced at Allison before quickly getting up from the ground and rushing over to Derek.
"Wait!" Scott yelled just as Derek kneels down.
Em grabs Stiles and I by our arms and pulls us to her sides while Allison gets up as her dad walks over to her.
"You said the cure comes from the one who bit you. Derek. If you do this, I'm dead. Her father, her family...what am I supposed to do?" Scott asked.
Stiles and I glanced at each other while Em simply stared at Derek.
Allison and Chris were silent, the same can be said for Jackson.
Derek remained silent as he stared down at his uncle emotionlessly. He looked like he was having an inner debate in his head.
"You've...already...decided" Peter told him.
I felt Em's grip on my arm tighten and by the looks of it, Stiles did too.
"I can smell it on you!" Peter yelled at him.
"Wait! No, no! Don't!" Scott yelled.
But it was too late.
Derek raised his clawed hand and slashed Peter's throat without any hesitation.
Allison hid her face in her dad's shoulder while Stiles and I gasped and scooted closer to Em who continued staring at Derek.
For a few seconds Derek stood there with his back turned on all of us.
Then he slowly turned around to face us.
Our eyes widened when we saw him flashing his now red eyes at us.
"I'm the alpha now" Derek said in a tone that probably sent shivers down all our spines.
I swallowed thickly and looked over at Stiles and saw that he was in the same state as me.
Scott looked absolutely devastated at the news, especially now that he knows he'll remain a werewolf forever.
Without saying anything he turned around and stormed off. Allison pulled away from her dad and ran after him.
Chris sighed and he spared us a glance before running off to catch up with his daughter.
Leaving Stiles, Jackson, Em, Derek and I.
I opened my mouth to say something when Em let go of Stiles and I and walked over to Derek.
Stiles and Jackson were convinced that she was going to smack him or something, but to their surprise she cupped the sides of his face with her hands.
Then she leaned in and pressed her lips onto his, kissing him and he kissed her back.
Stiles and Jackson's eyes widened in surprise and their jaws dropped to the ground while my face remained neutral.
Considering everything I found out when I went into my parents bedroom.
"What the fuck?!" Stiles yelled, looking at me for an answer.
But I didn't look at him nor say anything because I didn't know what to say.
We watched as the two adults pulled away from their kiss but pressed their foreheads together.
"I love the red eyes on you. It makes you look even more sexy" Em smirked at him.
"You think I look sexy in anything" Derek chuckled at her while wrapping his arms around her waist.
Em giggled and opened her mouth to say something when I stepped in and loudly cleared my throat.
I successfully gained their attention as they turned to look at me.
I crossed my arms over my chest, "i think it's time we have a talk" I told them.
Because I want answers and one way or another I am going to get them.
