003; Pack Mentality
─────────────────────
Harper quietly enters the classroom of the teacher she absolutely dreads even seeing as she tries to sneak pass Mr. Harris but had ultimately failed. As soon as she took her seat his voice filled her ears "Miss Hale, you are late"
Harper sighs and rolls her eyes as her attention turns to Scott and Stiles conversation she was already eavesdropping before she walked into the class because- well, even though she would never admit it she's slightly nosey, And she finds some of the things Scott and Stiles say hilarious.
"maybe it was animal blood" Scott turns his attention to Stiles "And did what?" he asks
"Ate. . it" Stiles trails off
Harper's eyebrows knit together "you think you did whatever happened to the bus driver?" she looks to the pair as she whispers
Scott gave his friend a quick glare for talking so loudly "I had a dream" he states
Harper gave him a confused look before she snorts "A dream" she say all but unconvincingly
"he had a dream that he killed Allison on a bus" Stiles explains earning another glare from Scott. Harper's eyes narrow slightly as she slowly nods with a hum
"doesn't matter" Scott looked between the two before he stopped on stiles heading back to their previous conversation "did I eat it raw?"
"no you stopped to bake it in your little werewolf oven" Stiles spoke sarcastically "I don't know your the one who can't remember anything"
"Mr. Stilinski, if that's your idea of a hushed whisper, you might want to pull the headphones out every once in awhile" Mr. Harris looked at him with his hands on his hips "I think you and Mr. McCall would benefit from a little distance, yes?"
"No" Stiles mumbles Mr. Harris points to a spot for each of them "let me know if the separation anxiety gets a little to much"
Stiles scoffs as he walks to his new seat.
"Hey I think they found something" Harley said and walked over to the window, Harper and everyone else following as they wheel someone out to an ambulance covered in blood and cuts.
"That's not a rabbit" Scott whisper
"No shit" Harper spoke as she watched closely as the man shot up and screamed causing everyone to jump back.
Scott continues to walk back a distraught look on his face as Stiles walks up to him "Okay this is good, this is good"
Harper walks over to them "how is that good? do you understand the definition of good?"
Stiles rolls his eyes "yes I do anyway, he got up he's not dead" he looks back to Scott "Dead guys can't do that"
Scott looks to him "Stiles... I did that"

Harper walks into the cafeteria "Harper" Allison smiles and waves her over Harper returns the smile and walks over to the table "Hey, why don't you sit with us?"
Harper looked around trying to think of an excuse, which didn't work out in her favor before she put a smile on her face "Sure" she take the empty spot beside Stiles, sharing a tight-lipped smile with the boy.
Jackson walks over to the table "get up" he demands
"why do you never ask Danny to get up?" the boy complains.
"because I don't stare at his girlfriends coin slot" Danny spoke as he took a bite from his food "so I heard they're saying it's some type of animal attack, probably a cougar"
Jackson leaned back in his chair "I heard mountain lion" Harper couldn't help the snicker that left her lips as Jackson gave her a glare.
"a cougar is a mountain lion" Lydia corrects before she furrows her brows "isn't it?"
"who cares?" Jackson shrugs "the guys probably some homeless tweaker who's gonna die anyway"
"actually, I just found out who it is, check it out" Stiles tilts his phone so everyone can see Harper looks over his shoulder as he plays the video.
"the Sheriff's Department won't speculate on details of the incident, but confirmed the victim Garrison Meyers, did survive the attack" the video showed a picture of the man "Meyers was taken to a local hospital where he remains in critical condition"
"hey I know this guy" Scott spoke causing Harper to look at him, her brows cinched together.
"you do?" Allison questions
Scott nods "yeah when I used to take the bus back when I lived with my dad, he was the driver"
"Can we talk about something slightly more fun, please like.." Lydia trailed off "oh, where are we going tomorrow night"
Scott and Allison give Lydia a confused look "you said you and Scott were hanging out tomorrow night, right?"
Allison's eyes widen "um, we were thinking of what we were gonna do"
"well, I am not sitting home again watching lacrosse videos, so if the four of us are hanging out, we are doing something fun" Lydia states while Allison drank out of her water, her brows raised.
Scott looks to her "hanging out, like the four of us" his gaze shifts to Allison "do you want to hang out like us and them?"
Harper couldn't wipe the grin that was plastered on her face watching this all unfold she glances to Stiles then back to Scott.
"yeah" Allison bunches her shoulders as she sets her water down "I guess. Sounds fun"
Jackson raises his eyebrows "you know what else sounds fun? stabbing myself in the face with this fork" Lydia swiftly smacks the fork out of his hand.
Harper leans on the table and looks to Jackson "that's a great idea I'll do it for you" Jackson glares at her which she returns.
"Oh how about bowling, you love bowling" Lydia looked to Jackson causing him to break his stare.
Harper glances at Stiles as he shakes his head she leans over to him "I'm guessing Scott can't bowl"
"he's terrible" Stiles whispers "Which is an understatement" the smile only grew on her face
Jackson scoffs "yeah with actual competition"
Allison leaned on the table "how do you know we're not actual competition?" she raises her eyebrows at Jackson before looking at Scott "you can bowl right?"
"sort of" Scott shrugged
Jackson moved his tray out of the way "is it sort of or yes?"
"yes" Scott stares at him "In fact, I'm a great bowler"
Harper looks between the two boys as they glare at each other "well, I'm leaving before I get roped into this" she gets up from her seat and makes her way out of the cafeteria.

Harper sighs as she walks inside the house and glances to Derek. The girl stops where she was as she crosses her arms "why do you always have that expression on your face?"
Derek gave her a confused look "what are you talking about?, what look?"
Harper's mouth practically falls open "you don't see it?" the look he was giving her said it all "you got like this stone expression, I think it's how you try to intimidate people"
Derek rolls his eyes as she plops down on the couch dust flying off as "Oh, and the amount of times you roll your eyes at me is insane"
she rubs her hands across her jeans "anyways, what's on the big agenda today?"
"nothing" Derek deadpans
Harper's eyebrows furrow "really, no stalking" Derek rolls his eyes
the Brunette's brows raise "Oh my god, you literally just rolled your eyes again, you have a serious problem"
her gaze falls to the window when she heard the door to a car close, she gets up off her spot on the couch and walks over to the window, taking a breath "Derek, there's a cop here, what'd you do"
she makes an 'O' Shape with her mouth before nodding "you got caught looking at teenagers didn't you, see I told you this would happen"
Derek scoffs and walks up beside her the deputy began to walk towards the door as the dog barks Harper glances to Derek as he glares at the dog his eyes light up blue and the dog barks continuously. The deputy looks to the dog then back to the house, fear radiating off the man. The deputy jogs back to the car and drives off.
Harper's eyebrows raise before she pats his shoulder "good job" the younger Hale's brows knit together as she see Scott walking up to the house.
The brunette walks over to the door and walks outside "Scott?"
Scott ignores her and looks around the house "I know you can hear me.... I need your help"
Derek walks outside and comes up beside Harper and looks to Scott who was now on the porch "Okay. I know I was part of you getting arrested and that we basically announced you being here to the hunters. I also don't know what happened to your sister, But I think I did something last night" Scott spoke quickly .
"I had a dream about someone but someone else got hurt and it turns out that part of the dream might have actually happened" he finishes
"you think you attacked the driver" Derek deadpanned
"did you see what I did last night?" Scott quickly accused
"No" Derek answered the McCall
"then can you at least tell me the truth" Scott sighs "am I gonna hurt someone?" he questioned
"yes" Derek spoke causing Harper to hit his arm and gave him a look before turning her attention to Scott "Maybe"
Scott looks between the pair "Am I gonna kill someone?"
"Yes" "Maybe" Derek and Harper say in unison as they share a look before turning back to Scott.
Scott looked more confused "Am I gonna kill someone?" he asks once again.
"Probably" the two Hales say simultaneously. Scott glances between the two before walking over to one of the posts with a a look of despair written all over his face.
Derek walks over to him "look, I can show you how to remember, I can show you how to control the shift even on the full moon, but it's not gonna come for free"
Scott doesn't even spare him a glance as he spoke "what do you want"
"you'll find out, but for now I'm gonna give you what you want, go back to the bus go inside, see it, feel it, let your senses-- use your sight, smell, touch let them remember for you" Derek explains to him
"that's it?" Scott looks to him "Just go back?"
"do you want to know what happened?" Derek asked
"I just want to know if I hurt him"
Derek shakes his head "no you don't... You wanna know if you'll hurt her "

Derek parks the car and Harper holds out her hand and he gives her a confused look "I'm hungry" she shrugs
he rolls his eyes and opens his wallet, handing her five dollars she gives him a smile "thank you" she gets out the car and walks into the convenience store.
she walks down the isle as she grabs a bag of chips and a chocolate bar, she sets the things on the counter and glances out the door as she does a double take when she sees Chris get out of a car and two other men following behind him.
She ignored whatever the cashier said and handed him the five bucks as she watches closely "um, keep the change" she picks up her things and walks out the door over to Derek.
Harper and Derek may fight, bicker like all relatives do but when it comes to it the two of them would die for each other.
Chris glanced to the girl "and there's the other one, I assumed she'd be here with you"
Chris took the brush and began to clean Derek's windshield "if you have something this nice, you want to take care of it, right?"
Harper glances to Derek and the two other men "Personally, I'm very protective of the things I love, that's something I learned from my family... You two don't have much of that these days"
Harper's jaw clenched as Chris looked at them "Do you" Harper's free hand balls into a fist Chris looks down to her hand as she closes her eyes and takes a deep breath as her hand relaxes.
Derek keeps his harsh glare on the Argent
"There we go" Chris puts the brush back "you can actually look through your windshield now, see how that makes everything so much clearer?" he eyes them up and down before walking away.
"you forgot to check the oil" Derek stated causing Chris to stop walking and turns to look at him "check the mans oil" he spoke
Harper turns her attention to one of the men that had walked over to Derek's car as he smashes the drivers side window with the end of his gun the glass falling to the ground as the man shrugged "looks good to me"
Harper looks back to Chris as she continues to glare at the older man "Drive safely" he comments before climbing back into the car and driving off.
"You should've killed him" Harper uttered an angry look covering her face before she climbs back into the Camaro.

Harper ran through the woods her bare feet hitting against the leaves scattered across the forest floor, her breathing rapid as she looks over her shoulder
"Harper!" Laura placed her hands on the girls shoulders causing a shriek to fall from the girls lips
"hey, hey, it's me" Laura spoke softly, she notices the tears staining the girls cheeks
Harper's breathing was ragid "I ─ I did something bad" tears welled up in the girls eyes once again "I ─ I didn't mean to, it was an accident, I told her not to go, I told her to ─ I told her to run"
Tears stream down her face "I didn't want to hurt her"
Laura nodded her head as she shrugged off her jacket placing it over the thirteen year old girl, her gaze shifts to the blood on her hands
Laura takes a breath "who did you hurt?" her soft gaze never left her eyes
Harper's lip quivered as her head fell "I think I killed her"
Harper shot up from the couch a gasp leaving her lips, a surge of wind erupting from the girls shock knocking the dust off shelves.
Harper's eyes fall closed as she gnawed on the inside of her check.
"Derek! I know you're here!" Scott voice caused the girls eyes to re-open her brows cinching together as she got up from the couch that was in one of the bedrooms upstairs "I know what you did!"
"I Didn't do anything"
Scott looked around the house and began to walk up the steps "You Killed him!"
"He died" Derek states
Harper's mind goes back to earlier when she and Derek had stopped to talk to the bus driver, well more like Derek seeing as he made her stay in the car.
"Like your sister died!" Scott continued to yell. Anger rose in the young Hale girl at his words
"My sister was missing. We came here looking for her"
"you found her" Scott continued to slowly walk up the steps
Derek's voice raised as he spoke "I Found Her In Pieces! being used as bait to catch me and Harper"
"I think you killed them both, and I'm gonna tell everyone, starting with the Sheriff" Scott reaches the top of the stairs his eyes land on Harper.
she wiggles her fingers at him with a smirk on her face "hey Scotty, you know there's a curfew"
Derek walks up behind the McCall and throws him down the stairs, Scott slowly gets up from the ground as he turns and roars at Derek.
Derek jumps down the stairs Harper throws her hands up "guys I want to go to sleep"
Derek walks up to Scott but Scott sends him a harsh shove causing him to go through the old burned walls
Harper's brows raise as she watches the scene unfold. She wasn't going to get involved in the pairs fight there was no point until she knew she needed to be the peacekeeper in the situation. "Men" She utters as she quickly makes her way down the steps.
Harper skids to a stop before leaning against door frame as Scott runs at Derek but he grabs Scott by the shirt and smashes him into the wall then throws him over a table.
Derek walks up to Scott and was about to punch him but Scott rolls out of the way and gets up off the ground and punches Derek the face and was about to throw another but Derek catches his hand and punches him then throws him to the ground.
Scott uses the table to help himself up as Derek gets up on the table and kicks Scott in the chest sending him flying into the wall
He shoots up off the ground and grabs a paddle Harper's eyebrows cinch together "when the hell did we get a paddle"
Scott hits him across the face causing Derek to fall to the ground Scott runs over to him and raises the paddle and brings it down, Derek swiftly rolls out of the way the swipes Scott's legs out from under him .
Derek grabs Scott by the throat and lifts him and slams him into the ground and does it one more time just as Scott was about to get up Derek kicked him right over a chest
The McCall jumps up onto the chest then jumps at Derek but he just slashes Scott across the chest with his claws causing him to falls to the ground .
Scott groans as he crawls over to the couch
"I Didn't kill him, neither of us did, it's not your fault and it's not mine" Derek states
"this!" Scott yells as he shoots up from the ground "this is all your fault, you ruined my life"
"No I didn't" Derek seethes as Harper finally walks into the room now that the fight was over
"you're the one who bit me!" Scott gets up in his face
"No I didn't" Derek spoke just as loud
"What!?" Scott questioned clearly confused
Derek bunches his shoulders "I'm not the one that bit you"
Scott touches his chest as his eyes opened and closed his breathing became heavy as the look of realization covered his face as he falls back onto the couch "There's another"
"An alpha" Harper spoke as she walks up beside Derek.
"It's the most dangerous of our kind" Derek explained "you, Harper and I, we're betas, this thing is more powerful, more animal then either of us, my sister came here looking for him and now I'm trying to find him"
Harper raises her hand "Um, I'm helping"
Derek gives her a 'really' look before shaking his head and looking back at Scott "but I don't think I can find him without you"
Scott sighs "why me?"
"Because he's the one that bit you" Harper crosses her arms "Technically you're part of his pack"
"It's you Scott" Scott looks up to the pair "you're the one he wants"
