Chapter Twenty: The Bitten


We were on our way to Mexico, Derek, Stiles, Liam and I were in the back of the police van. I sat in between Derek and Stiles, as Liam was sat opposite us chained to the seat. 

"All good?" Derek had asked Liam, as he had made sure his chains will hold him down. Liam raises his fists up, trying to break free from them, but they were good. "Ok. I brought something to help you," Derek went on, shifting through his pocket to get something out. My eyes goes too it and it was that triskelion, but in a talisman form. "This has been with my family for centuries. It's a very powerful, supernatural talisman. We use it to teach Betas how to control themselves on a full moon," Derek states, giving Liam hope of sorts, but there was nothing special about the talisman, magically. He hands it over to him and he takes it in his hands.

Derek's eyes wondered from Liam to the right looking at Stiles and I, who were eyeing the talisman. Stiles and I felt Derek's gaze and we look at him, he shifts his head towards Liam, wanting us to say something. 

"Yes, it's powerful," Stiles had caught on, and then cleared his throat. "Very powerful," I pitch the bridge of my nose as how stupid this way.  

"So powerful, I can feel it's energy," I had lied, as I dropped my hand from the bridge of my nose. Liam's gaze went to us as we offered him a small smile. He holds it in his hand, as he believe it would work for him. Though I could use my magic to stop the effects of the full moon on him, but he needed to learn control because I won't be around all the time. If he learns control now, he was get better at shifting...

***

Sometime had passed and now it was night, I could feel the full moon outside and the light it had shined into the van from the front. I had my leg over the other, as I sit waiting for something to happen. Suddenly, Liam grunts and yanks his chains up, making Stiles jolt back in fright and Derek and I stare at Liam. 

"Whatever you were gonna teach me..." Liam states his head railing up to us. His grip on the talisman had gripped harder and his breathing had increased. His eyes turned their yellow colour. "I think you better start," Liam had said, wanting Derek to teach him control. Liam's yellows eyes had vanished, and sweat poured from his forehead as he was breathing heavily. 

"Liam, you with me?" Derek states, as Liam eyes went to Derek's. "We have a mantra that we use. You repeat it, you focus on the words. It's like meditating. You say the words until you feel control coming back to you," Derek had said, hoping that this would work for him.

"Ok. Ok, ok! What are the words?" Liam rushes out, fighting to keep control. 

"Ok, look at the triskelion. See the symbol?" Derek began as Liam took his gaze to the triskelion on the talisman. "I have a tattoo on my back, it's the same thing. Each spiral means something," 

"Alpha, Beta, Omega," Stiles had chimed in, Liam looked at him for a moment, his breathing still heavy.

"It represents the idea that we can always rise to one and fall back to another. Beats can become Alphas-"

"Alphas can become Betas," I had cut in, as maybe knowing that the three of us helping him would keep him in control. 

"Can Alphas become Omegas?" Liam had asked his gaze on Derek, who nods his head at him. 

"All you have to do is say the three words. And with each other, you tell yourself you're getting calmer, more in control. Go ahead," Derek states to Liam, as we all look at him taking deep breaths. 

"Alpha, Beta..." He rolled the words off quick.

"Slower," Derek's tone was strict as Liam needed to put effort into this.

Liam takes deep breaths, getting ready to say the words. "Alpha...Beta...Omega," he had said the words slowly. Liam suddenly groans as this wasn't working for him. "Alpha...Beta...Omega," Liam took deep breaths between the words.

"Good. Say it again. Remember, every time you say the words, you're getting calmer," Derek said to Liam, a reminder to keep him on track.

"Alpha, Beta... Omega," Liam's voice was distorted a bit, as he was going the opposite direction of calm. 

"Say it again," Derek states over Stiles's 'oh' as he leans further back as he knew this wasn't going good. I rolled my sleeves up on my dress just in case things get hairy. 

"Derek, I don't think that powerful talisman of self-control is working," Stiles had said, as Liam breathing had picked up more and his teeth had extended into points and his eyes had gone their yellow colour. 

"Liam, say it again!" Derek raises his voice to him. Liam only roars and leans forward which tilted the van making us go out of control. 

"Liam!" I yelled at him but he continued to try and break free out of the chains. The van began to swerve and go all over the place, making me fall to the right into Stiles, but he had caught me. Another roar came from Liam, as he uses his strength to pull on his right chains, breaking them. His right clawed hand went to Derek but Derek had caught his wrist, stopping him from attacking him. 

"I think we're gonna need to go a little faster," Stiles had said aloud. 

"Keep going!" Derek yells to Braeden as she continues to drive straight. Liam roars again, and this time breaks his left chains, getting that hand free and went straight for Derek's neck. Quick as a flash, I had grabbed Liam's left hand holding it in place as I was using my vampire strength. 

"Liam! Keep in control!" I had yelled at him, but he just roars at me and moved his right hand to my neck, going to attack me now. But I quickly caught his wrist with my free hand, as I held onto both his wrists and stood up - as far as I could - and pushed back, pinning his wrists to the side of the van, holding them there so he couldn't hurt anyone. He started to roar and snap like a wild dog.

"Derek, I don't think Alpha, Beta, Omega is resonating with him," Stiles stresses out, as it wasn't working.

"Does anyone know any other mantras?!" I raised my voice as Liam's roars were in my ears and I was trying to keep his teeth away from me. Liam locked eyes with me and they were yellow as and his was out of control. Suddenly, Liam's teeth had bit into my wrist, but it was more of a nip. I wince in pain for a moment, but my grip on his wrists never lost.

"Liam, Liam. What three things cannot long be hidden?" Stiles had asked, as his gaze was on him for a moment, before they came back to mine and he roars at me, trying to get another bite. "Liam! Liam, look at me! What three things cannot long be hidden?" Stiles had asked as he was trying to get out of his hold from me. "What three things?" Stiles had pushes, as his breathing came slower and his gaze on Stiles. 

Liam grunts for a moment, gaining control. "The sun, the moon..." Liam was panting through the words. "The truth," 

"Say it again, Liam," I had replied softly to him.

"The sun, the moon... the truth," Liam had replied through his pants, but his eyes had stopped glowing and I can feel him not struggling to get from my hold. I loosen my grip on his wrists, and soon enough I dropped my hands and leaned back onto the seat.

"Derek?" Braeden had asked, wondering what was going on. 

"We're ok," Derek states, as he looked at Braeden through the window that was covered.

"The sun... the moon... and the truth," Liam had said, his breathing calming down. I look to my right wrist to see the bite mark where Liam had bite me, but it wasn't healing... It was getting worse by the second. Bites from any werewolves are deadly...

I quickly roll down my sleeves and covered the bite mark from view. The van came to a halt as we were here, we had made it to Mexico and that Church.

"I can't believe I did it," Liam states, scoffing to himself. "For a minute there, I thought I was gonna tear the three of you apart," Liam eyes flickered between us three. 

"Good thing I held your wrists then," I had shot back at him, giving a chuckle off. 

"Think you can bring the same level of control and strength inside La Iglesia?" Derek had asked, nodding his head to the Church. Liam didn't speak, he flick his hand out and his claws came out. 

"All right. We might actually be able to do this," Stiles had said, glancing to the three of us. 

"You have me on your side," I had chuckled as Derek had stood up and went for the door and opening it. I hear a growl and see Derek thrown from the back of the van and to the ground. The Berserker grabs Derek by the jacket and lifts him in the air and drags him to a rock wall. I quickly came out of the van, and cocked my head to the Berserker hitting Derek. 

"Motus!" I waved my hand to the Berserker but he only budged forward a bit. Like someone had gone behind him and pushed him. The Berserker was dazed for a moment, but shook it off and continued to hit Derek. "Hey!" I vamp-ran to the creature and leapt onto it's back, my arm coming around his neck and began choking him. The Berserker came off of Derek and stood straight and started to wiggle out of my hold. We had turned around to face the van, the Berserker had grab hold of my back and threw me forward and into the side of the van, denting the side. I fell to the floor with a thud, but I hear shotgun shots being rapidly fired... 

I blink as I lean on my hands to look up to see the Berserker run off and Braeden run off to Derek as a strong smell of blood had entered my nostrils. I stood to my feet as my eyes wondered to Derek who was in pain, blood dripping from his mouth. 

"How bad is it?" Peter had asked, but by the smell of the blood it was bad.

"I'm fine, I'm fine. Just get to Scott," Derek had replied quickly, wanting us to go on without him and get Scott. "Just find him. We'll be right behind you," tears threaten my eyes as he wouldn't be going anywhere. Sadly, my magic wouldn't heal him, the Berserker's are made from magic. Powerful magic, that I don't understand. If I try to heal Derek it could go horrible wrong, and I wasn't giving a chance with my blood either. I don't want him to come back as a vampire. "Go... Go!" Derek yells at us, as he wants us to finish the mission. 

We all stood for a moment, looking at one another but Peter was the first one to run to the Church. Malia, Liam and I followed behind as Stiles were coming. Tears fell from my eyes as I felt hopeless, but I was praying that Derek would be alive when I come back. 

"This way," Peter had said as we entered the Church. He began to lead us through tunnels, hoping we would find Kira and Scott soon...

As I won't last long with this werewolf bite...
