23. Jackson
🪐
"I've got to meet with the medical examiner and try to figure out what happened with Jackson. I've got an APB out on Stiles. His Jeep is still in the parking lot, so that means. The hell, I don't know what that means." Rayne's father says
"Um, look, if he answers his phone, if he answers his emails, if either one of you see him--" He says.
"We'll call you." Isaac says
"Look, he's probably just freaked out from all the attention or something. We'll find him." Scott says
"Yeah... I'll see you, okay?" He says
"Bye Dad." Rayne says and hugs him and he walks away.
"McCall... We need you on the team, okay? You know I can't put you on the field next season if you don't get your grades up." Coach says walking up to them
"Yeah, I know, Coach." Scott nods
"All right. I mean, I-I know I yell a lot, but it's not like I hate you guys. Well, I kind of hate Greenberg, but, you know... that's different. It's Greenberg!" He says and Rayne nods.
"Understandable." She says.
"I'm just saying, we-- I-- need you on the team. Get your grades back up." Coach says
"I will." Scott agrees
"I know." He says and walks away.
"Is that everyone?" Scott asks
"I think so." Isaac says and then Scott rips off Stiles' locker door
"I have his combinations dumbass." Rayne says.
"You're gonna find him by scent?" Isaac asks
"Yeah. We both are." Scott says handing him Stiles' shoe
"But how come you get his shirt, and I get a shoe?" He asks and they turn to see Derek.
"We need to talk." He says and then Peter appears
"All of us." Peter says
"What the fuck?" Scott and Rayne say.
🪐
"What the hell is this?" Scott asks
"You know, I thought the same thing when I saw you talking to Gerard at the Sheriff's station." Derek says
"Okay, hold on! He-he threatened to kill my mom! And I had to get close to him. What was I supposed to do?" He asks.
"I'm gonna go with Scott on this one. Have you seen his mom? She's gorgeous!" Peter says
"Shut up!" Scott, Derek and Rayne shout
"Who is he?" Isaac says.
"That's Peter, Derek's uncle. A little while back, he tried to kill us all, and then we set him on fire, and Derek slashed his throat." Scott explains
"Hi." Peter waves
"That's good to know." Isaac says.
"How is he alive?" Rayne asks
"Look, the short version is he knows how to stop Jackson... and maybe how to save him." Derek says
"Well, that's very helpful... except Jackson's dead." Isaac tells them.
"What?"
"Yeah, Jackson's dead. It just happened on the field." Scott says
"Okay, why is no one taking this as good news?" Isaac asks.
"Because if Jackson is dead, it didn't just happen-- Gerard wanted it to happen." Peter says
"But why?" Derek questions
"Well, that's exactly what we need to figure out. And something tells me the window of opportunity is closing. Quickly."
🪐
"Oh. Oh, they found Stiles!" Scott relaxes as they walk into the Hale House
"I told you, I looked everywhere." Derek tells Peter
"You didn't look here." He says under the stairs.
"What is that, a book?" He asks
"No, it's a laptop. What century are you living in?" Peter asks
"A few days after I got out of the coma, I transferred everything that we had. Fortunately, the Argents aren't the only ones who keep records." Peter explains.
Then Scott gets a call from his mom and then ends it
"Isaac and I need to go to the hospital, now." He says
"I'm going to stay here, maybe call Stiles." Rayne says and he nods and they leave.
Then Rayne goes on her phone and calls her brother
"Are you okay? What happened?" She asks
"Nothing, I'm fine." He says uneasy.
"What is it?" She asks
"It's Erica and Boyd, they were captured by the Argents. Allison captured them, I overheard. I need to go, love you." He says
"Thanks for telling me, love you." She says and hangs up and then calls Allison's phone which goes straight to voicemail.
"What the actual fuck is wrong with you? Kidnapping my girlfriend and best friend? You've seriously hit your head a few fucking times. Call me back when you're done being a bitch. Bye." Rayne says annoyed.
"So, what are we doing?" She asks the Hales.
🪐
"Argent?" Rayne asks as she gets out the car as Derek runs to them
"He's on our side now." Scott says
"Okay, what the fuck is wrong with your daughter?" She asks.
"This is all Gerard's fault, trust me. I am sorry for all that's happened." He says and she nods and they walk into the warehouse.
"You know how to shoot one of these?" Argent asks Rayne with a gun in his hand
"Make sure it's loaded, aim it, pull the trigger. Boom!" She says and he gives it to her
"Good enough." He says.
"Where are they?" Scott asks Derek
"Who?" He asks
"Peter and Lydia." Scott says and then Derek approaches Jackson.
"Whoa! Hold on a second-- you said you knew how to save him." Scott says as Derek opens the bag.
"We're past that."
"What about--" He says
"Think about it, Scott! Gerard controls him now. He's turned Jackson into his own personal guard dog, and he set all of this in motion so that Jackson could get even bigger and more powerful." Derek cuts off.
"No. No, he wouldn't do that. If Jackson's a dog, he's turning rabid, and my father wouldn't let a rabid dog live." Argent says
"Of course not... Anything that dangerous, that out of control... is better off dead." Gerard says and then Derek goes to stab Jackson but he gets there first and throws him across the room
"Well done to the last, Scott. Like the concerned friend you are, you brought Jackson to Derek to save him. You just didn't realise that you were also bringing Derek to me." He says and then an arrow goes into Isaac.
"Allison?" Scott asks and then he moves Isaac back
"Fucking Allison!" Rayne shouts and then Argent shoots Jackson but he uses his tail to throw his gun away and then Derek, Isaac and Scott start to fight and then Allison stabs Isaac and goes to kill Derek.
"No, Allison!" Scott says and then Jackson wraps his tail around her neck
"Not yet, sweetheart." Gerard says
"What are you doing?" She asks.
"He's doing what he came here to do..." Scott says
"Then you know." Gerard says
"What's he talking about?" Allison asks.
"It was the night outside the hospital, wasn't it? When I threatened your mother. I knew I saw something in your eyes. You could just smell it, couldn't you?" Gerard asks
"He's dying..." Isaac realises
"I am. I have been for a while now, Unfortunately, science doesn't have a curse for cancer yet... But the supernatural does." He confirms and then Jackson's grip tightens.
"You monster." Argent says
"Not yet." His father says
"What are you doing?" She asks and his grip tightens again.
"You'll kill her, too?" He asks
"When it comes to survival...? I'd kill my own son!" Gerard says
"Scott." He says.
"Scott, don't. You know that he's gonna kill me right after. He'll be an Alpha." Derek groans
"That's true... But I think he already knows that, don't you, Scott?" Gerard asks.
"He knows that the ultimate prize is Allison. Do this small task for me, and they can be together."
"You are the only piece that doesn't fit, Derek. And, in case you haven't learned yet, there is just no competing with young love." Gerard says.
"Scott, don't! Don't!" Derek pleas
"I'm sorry. But I have to." He says and then makes Derek bite Gerards arm then he starts to bleed black
"That's disgusting." Rayne says.
"What? What is this? What did you do?" He asks
"Everyone said Gerard always had a plan." Scott says"I had a plan, too." He says.
"No... No..." Gerard says and breaks his pills.
"Mountain ash!" He shouts and then he throws up black and then collapses to the ground
"Why didn't you tell me?" Derek asks
"Because you might be an Alpha... but you're not mine." Scott says.
"Kill them! Kill them all!" Gerard shouts and then Jackson goes to but then he gets hit by a jeep
"Did I get him?" Stiles asks but then he jumps onto the front and they scream and get out of the car.
"Jackson! Jackson." Lydia says
"Lydia--" Stiles says
"Wait." Scott stops him and she shows him a key and he starts to change back but Peter and Derek kill him and he falls into her arms.
"Do you... Do you still...?" He asks weakly
"I do. I do still love you. I do-I do still love you. I do. I do. I do still love you. I do." She says and he falls and she cries and he changes back
"Where's Gerard?" Allison asks.
"He can't be far." Argent says and then they see him move and his eyes glow blue and he stands up and roars and Lydia jumps into his arms andRayne and Scott look back at Stiles who's crying
"Scratched my Jeep." He says.
"Why is this the third time I've seen him naked?" Rayne asks.
