"Faster?" Harper questioned, her grip tight on the steering wheel in front of her and her blue eyes trained on the road.

Stiles nods "Much faster"

Harper tilts her head as she shifts the gear and presses on the gas pedal, a grin forming on her face- it was either from the thrill of this car chase or the fact she was actually driving Derek's car which she swears he loves more then her.

Stiles looks over his shoulder once again, his gaze set on the car behind them"Okay, Harper I don't think you're grasping the concept of a car chase here"

Harper sends him a quick glare with a scoff "are you serious? If I go faster, I'll kill us, Oh and Derek will literally kill me if I get as much as a scratch on this car"

"yeah well, if you don't go faster they're gonna kill us!" The Stilinski exclaims pointing towards the car chasing them.

Scott groans tossing his head back in annoyance from the two "Oh my god, would the two of you stop arguing for half a second and go faster!"

"You want me to go faster? I can go faster" she shrugs her shoulders, the cockiness in her tone didn't go un-missed, She switches the gears once again and floors the gas pedal, the car picking up speed once again. Harper watches the speedometer raise her gaze flicking between that and the road in front of her.

After a moment or two Scott's voice filled her ears "they're gone" he spoke from the backseat.

Harper glanced over her shoulder then in the rear-view mirror to see the car they were previously driving away from was gone.

Stiles reached up and grabbed a walkie-talkie he clicks a button, his dads voice coming through 'All units, suspect is on foot heading into the iron works'

Harper nods "iron works, alright" she mutters and makes a sharp turn as they head through an alleyway, she quickly got to where Derek was as she slammed on the brakes, the car skidding to a stop

"Get in!" Stiles called out while he opened the door then climbed into the backseat with Scott.

gunfire filled the air as Derek sprinted to the car and jumped into the vehicle, Harper quickly pressed on the gas the tires skidding on the pavement before it began to move at a fast speed once again before Derek could even shut the door.

"What part of laying low don't you understand!" Scott yelled at him.

"damn it!" Derek hit the dashboard in anger "I had him!"

Stiles poked his head between the seats "who, the alpha?"

"yes!" Derek yelled at him, annoyance in his tone "he was right in front of me, and the freaking police showed up"

Harper glanced at Derek who had anger written all over his face which she could understand.

Stiles holds up a hand "Oh, hey, they're just doing their jobs" Stiles began to try and defend his father.

Derek gave him an angry glare before looking at Scott "Yeah, thanks to someone who decided to make me the most wanted fugitive in the entire state!" his voice raised.

"Can we seriously get past that?" Scott said with a roll of his eyes.

Harper chuckles "yeah he won't ever get past that, I mean there was this one time--" she stops talking at the look Derek was giving her. Harper shifts in her seat "never mind" she muttered and shook her head her eyes going back to the road.

Scott sighs "I- I made a dumbass mistake. I get it" he sputters out

"Alright!" Stiles hollers before lightly hitting Derek's shoulder "how did  you find him?"

Derek's jaw clenched as his gaze lands on the road, clearly not wanting to answer the question at hand.

Scott rolled his eyes "can you try to trust us for at least half a second?"

Stiles nods in agreement with his Scott "yeah, both of us"

Derek sends him another angry glare, Stiles bunches his shoulders an uncomfortable look on his face "or just him, I'll be back here" he trails off leaning back into his seat.

"Derek just tell us, I don't even know and we're related" she glances at him with raised brows

Derek sighs "look, the last time I talked to my sister, she was close to figuring something out. She found two things. The first was a guy named Harris"

Harper's brows draw together at the mention of that name, her head tilting ever so slightly.

Stiles practically flies forward from his seat "Our chemistry teacher?" he asks through narrow eyes.

"Why him?" questioned The McCall boy.

Derek tilted his head "I don't know yet"

Harper nods as she takes a deep breath "Okay, what's the second?" she glances at the man as she adds "Also personally I would've liked to know this sooner, just a little FYI"

Derek reaches into his pocket and pulls out a piece of paper, unfolding it revealing a drawing "some kind of symbol"

Scott looked at the symbol and closed his eyes "what?" Derek asked, noticing the boys uneasy reaction "You know what this is?"

"I've seen it on a necklace" Scott's eyes close once again as he sighs "Allison's necklace"

Harper followed Scott and Stiles as they walk into the school "This is gonna be impossible you know" Scott comments, with a shake of his head and slight worry.

"why don't you just ask her if you can borrow it?" Stiles suggest with a shrug, like it would be that simple

Scott's eyes narrow "how?"

"it's easy" Harper scoffs at Stiles comment earning a quick glare from him.

"just say, 'hey Allison, can I borrow your necklace to see if there's anything on it or in it, that can lead me to an alpha werewolf that I need to kill in order to get back together with you' " Stiles explained as he adjusted his bag on his shoulder.

"your not helping" Scott spoke with an unamused tone of voice.

Harper looked at the boy "you know I'd take a quick look around my surroundings before I just toss those words around"

Stiles rolled his eye before looking back at Scott and ignores the girl "why don't you just talk to her?"

"she won't talk to me" Scott said with a sigh "what if she only takes it off in the shower?"

"That's why you ease . . ." Stiles stops walking and turns to his friend "that's why you ease back into it, Okay? Get back on her good side, remind her of the good times" he lightly hits Scott's shoulder "And then you ask for the necklace"

Harper had a doubtful look on her face with the boy's plan, Stiles' gaze landed on her "what? What do you not like about my plan" he confronts the girl knowing the look on her face.

Harper scratched the back of her neck "well, it's, Eh"

His eyes narrow as his head sticks out "Eh, what do you mean Eh?"

Harper rolls her eyes ever so slightly "I mean" she pauses "wow there's not a nice way to say this, I think it's stupid and it won't work. . . Coming from a girl, reminding her of the good times when she dumped you is most likely going make her feel guilty and hate him even more"

Stiles mouth falls open as he looks back at Scott "look, we have vary little trust in her" he moves his hand in a circle in front of the Hale girl  before pointing to himself "trust me, Stiles"

The hale girls eyes narrow at the boy "You're like a cartoon character, who does that?"

Stiles gives her an offended look before looking back at his friend waiting for him to say something.

Scott was staring off in the distance with a smirk on his face, Stiles smacked his arm pulling him from whatever day-dreaming trance he was in "You're thinking about her in the shower aren't you?"

his face falls as he looks at the ground "yeah" the boy confesses.

Stiles closed his eyes with a sigh "Alright, Stay focused, Okay?" he placed his hand on his shoulder as he listed off the plan "Get the necklace, get the alpha, get cured, get Allison back, in that order got it?"

Scott nods as he repeated the step to himself, Harper lightly smacks his arm "let me know when Stiles plan doesn't work" she emphasizes on the word 'when' while walking backwards.

"How the hell did he find out!" Stiles exclaimed talking about the fact that Jackson had somehow figured out that Scott was a Werewolf and confronted the boy about it.

Scott's brows raised as he shakes his head "I have no Idea"

Harper pinched the bridge of her nose as she spoke "did he say it though?"

confusion covers his face "say what?"

Stiles caught on to what the girl meant  as he tried to hint it to his clueless friend "the word"

Scott grows more confused by the second "what word?"

"Werewolf" Harper snapped her voice coming off louder then she intended she looked around before whispering "did he say 'I know your a werewolf' "

Stiles nods "yeah like-" who looked to the girl beside him clasping his hands together "Harper I know you're a werewolf, did he say that?" his gaze goes back to Scott while Harper raises his brows at the McCall.

"No, but he implied it pretty freaking clearly" Scott looked between the two.

Stiles takes a breath "Okay, maybe it's not as bad as it seems" he shrugs trying to stay optimistic "I mean, he doesn't have any proof, right? And if he wanted to tell someone, who's gonna believe him anyway?"

"I have a guess" Harper sang out.

"How about Allison's father "Scott whisper-yelled at the boy.

Stiles pauses as he looks between the two "Okay, it's bad" he runs a hand through his hair.

Scott places his hand on Stiles shoulder "I need a cure, like right now"

"Does he even know about Allison father?" Harper questions "because if he did, that would really kick you when you're already down"

Scott sighs and tossed his hand in the air "I don't know"

"Okay where's Derek?" Stiles head snapped towards Harper.

her brows cinch together "Hiding like we told him to. Why?"

Stiles nods "I have another Idea" he stops walking as they gather in a small circle "it's gonna take a little time and finesse, though."

Scott shakes his head "We have that game tonight. it's quarterfinals, and it's your first game"

Stiles' head tosses back as he nods "I know, I know" he sighs "look, do you have a plan for Allison yet?"

Scott bunches his shoulders "She's in my next class"

"get the necklace" Stiles deadpans before walking down the hall once again.

"What's the plan?" Harper called out to the boy a confused look on her face before her and Scott share their own look.

It was now lunch and Harper made her way towards the two boys "is she giving you the necklace?" Harper questions as she sits at the table.

"he said not exactly" Stiles quickly spoke before turning to Scott "so what do you mean not exactly?"

Scott raised his brows "she told me not to talk to her. At all "

Stiles takes a bite out of his chicken "So" he trailed off "she's not giving you--"

"She's not giving me the necklace!" Scott snapped at his friend cutting him short.

Harper turned in her seat slightly looking at the Stilinski "I told you that wasn't going to work!"

Stiles rolled his eyes "Uh-huh, yeah, well he must've done it wrong"

Harper's eyes widen him before looking at the McCall "why would you listen to him?" she ask looking at the boy.

Scott's mouth opened but no words came out "Done it wrong!?" Scott paused before taking a breath "what are we going to do?"

"Well," Stiles shrugged his shoulders, "did you find anything else out?"

Scott sighs "Just that I know nothing about girls"

"I'm shocked" Harper mutters as she twirls the ring on her finger, both boys send her a quick glare.

"And that they're totally psychotic" Scott adds which caused Harper to look at him with narrowed eyes.

Stiles nods "Okay, I came up with a plan B just in case anything like this happened"

Scott's face had slight doubt on it "and what's plan B?"

"Just steal the stupid thing" he deadpanned, with a shrug.

Harper frowned with raised brows "That might work, would've been plan A fro me but" she trailed off, earning another glare from the Stilinski.

Scott sighs "couldn't we try just getting to Harris"

Stiles shook his head "my dad put him on a 24 hour protective detail, okay? The necklace is all we got, so steal it, thank you" Stiles sighs growing slightly annoyed.

Harper notice Scott's face fall as he sat straight, Harper's brows furrow as she follows his gaze to Jackson who was staring at them

"Stiles he's watching us" Scott whispered.

Harper looked back at Scott as she leaned forward on the table "don't let him get under your skin, that's what he wants, just act normal" she pauses for a moment a sly smirk forming on her lips "if that's possible" she couldn't help it when she saw an opportunity to take a jab at one of the boys.

Stiles noticed Scott's face as he looked at the table "what's wrong?" he questioned him

Scott looks up at him "he's talking to me, he knows I can hear him"

Stiles mouth goes agape as he goes to look at Jackson "Look at me!" Scott whisper-yelled causing Stiles head to snap back at his friend "just talk to me, act normal, pretend nothing is happening"

Harper bit her lip as she searched for Jackson's voice until it finally filled her ears "are you trying to pretend not to hear me? "

Scott shifts in his seat as he grows more anxious "Say something talk to me!"

Stiles' brows raise as he goes to say something but nothing comes out, he tosses his arms in the air "I can't think of anything my mind is completely blank!"

Harper looks at the Stilinski "Your mind's blank?, You, Stiles Stilinski have nothing to say?"

"Not under this kind of pressure" Stiles voice raised an octave "FYI, he's not even sitting with them anymore" Stiles motions to the table

Scott head snaps towards the table, Harper listened for Jackson once again.

"Looking for me McCall? I'm right here" Jackson's voice filled her ears as he chuckled "So what else can you do? Huh? Can you see better? Are you stronger, more powerful? I knew there was no way you suddenly got that good at lacrosse. Which means you're a cheater. You know I bet that Hale is just like you too, I mean why else would she be sitting with you" He paused for a moment "can you even play Lacrosse?"

"Yes" Scott uttered, anger clear as day on his face.

Harper's head snapped towards him "Scott don't" she said sternly "If you do anything now you'll only prove him right"

his grip tightened on his water as he raised it to take a drink his hand shaking with anger.

"Scott you can't let him do this, you can't let him have this kind of power over you, Okay?" Stiles chimed in, in a hushed tone.

Harper nods "I'm actually going to agree with Stiles for once, tune. him. out"

Scott tightly holds the food tray as it begins to shake "Scott" Harper warned, head tilted.

The food tray snaps in half from his strength gaining everyone's attention in the cafeteria causing Harper to jump ever so slightly before she looks at the teens weird and confused looks they were giving them, her gaze turned to the table as she scratched her brow trying to ignore the many looks the three were getting.

Harper walked up the stairs of the Stilinski home seeing as her and Stiles got put as partners for something in English, Harper wasn't really sure what it was 'Cause she tunes out most of the teachers anyway.

She pauses looking at one of the pictures framed on the wall before laughing lightly "Is this you?"

Stiles looks over his shoulder at the girl before his gaze lands on the picture "Yes, and I think that's enough of you seeing embarrassing pictures of me"

Harper chuckled "Come on, at least it's only one missing front tooth, I lost both of mine and had a lisp" she comments based on the picture she seen of the boy on his fathers shoulders with a wide grin on his face.

"Okay, we have work we need to get done" Stiles jogs down the stairs before placing his hands on her back forcing her up the stairs.

"Okay, Stiles, it's just English" Harper glances at him "you know, don't you think we have bigger things on our hands then actually doing English work?"

"yes, I know, I have a plan" Stiles glanced at the girl as they walked into his room.

"oh, goodie" she muttered sarcastically with a fake smile.

"ha, funny" Stiles voice laced with sarcasm, he sat at the chair at his desk and began to type on the computer.

Harper grabbed the extra chair as she sat down "I know, I'm hilarious"

Stiles went to say something but was cut short when his dad hollered his name Stiles gaze moved away from his computer as he spoke "yo, d- Derek!"

"what?" Harper turned in the seat to see Derek who was pointing at the door with wide eyes.

"Um" Stiles shot up from his seat rushing towards the door shutting it just so his head could fit through.

Harper's brows cinch together as she stands up "what the hell are you doing?" she whispered but Derek just motioned towards the door where Stiles was currently talking to his father.

The door re-opened as Stiles came back in shutting it behind him and as soon as he turned around Derek took ahold of the boy's jacket shoving him into the door shoving his finger in his face "if you say one word-"

"oh, what, you mean like, 'Hey dad, Derek Hale's in my room,  bring a gun?" Derek's grip loosened on the boy and Stiles nods "yeah that's right, if I'm gonna be harbouring your fugitive ass, it's my house, my rules buddy" he smacked his shoulder.

Derek looked from his shoulder back to Stiles as he let him go straightening his jacket, Stiles chuckled as he did the same thing and went to walk away but Derek pretended to take a step towards him causing Stiles to flinch.

"oh, my god" he muttered and sat back down in the chair

"Did Scott get the necklace?" Derek questioned and Harper shook her head "nope"

Stiles glanced at the girl before looking back to Derek "He's still working on it, but there's something else we can try"

Derek raised his brows as he nodded, signalling for him to continue, Stiles sighed "you know the night we were trapped at the school?"

"oh, that was a very fun night" Harper spoke sarcastically as she leaned back into the chair.

"Scott sent a text to Allison asking her to meet him there" Stiles continued to explain.

Derek shrugged, not seeing how this was relevant "So?"

Stiles leaned forward "so, it wasn't Scott who sent it"

Derek looked at the boy as he spoke "can you find out who sent it?"

Stiles shook his head "No, not me. But I think I know somebody who can"

. . .

"you want me to do what?" Danny questioned with raised brows, before eyeing the other people in the room.

"trace a text" Harper and Stiles said in unison the two teens giving each other looks.

Danny shook his head "I came here to do lab work, that's what lab partners do"

Stiles groaned as he ran a hand through his hair growing slightly frustrated "and we will, once you trace the text"

Danny gave the pair a questioning look "and what makes you think I know how?"

"I.." he trailed off "I looked up your arrest report, so"

"I- I was thirteen, they dropped the charges" Danny explained as he shook his head "No, we're doing lab work"

Harper sighed as she turned in the chair when she looked at Danny as he spoke "who's he again?" he points to Derek who was sitting in a chair across the room, flipping through a book with a stone expression on his face.

A smirk played on Harper's face as she looked to Stiles "yeah, who is he?"

"Um" Stiles looked between the two, giving Harper a look "he's my cousin. . . Miguel "

"is that blood on his shirt?" Danny whispered as he asked the question.

Stiles turned in his chair before nodding "yeah, yeah. Well he get's these horrible nose bleeds. Hey Miguel" he looked at Derek who gave him a glare "I thought I told you you could borrow one of my Shirts"

Derek slammed the book shut that he was pretending to read tossing it as he got up his glare still on Stiles as he walked towards the dresser.

"So, anyways" Stiles spoke as he turned back around in the chair "you have the skills to trace that text, so" he shrugged "so, we should probably-"

"Um Stiles" Derek's voice gained the three's attention, they turned to him "this" he held up a shirt in his hand, tugging it as he spoke "No fit"

Stiles rolled his eyes "then try something else on" Harper's eyes looked to Danny who was still staring at Derek her head tilted and her mouth hung open a little.

"Hey" Stiles spoke, breaking her gaze from Danny as she looked to him then to Derek "that one looks pretty good, huh, what'd you think Danny?"

Harper looked at Derek who had a orange a blue striped shirt on The girl tried desperately not to laugh but it didn't work out to well as she snorts but her hand covered her mouth quickly. Derek sends her a glare

Danny sighs "it's... it's not really his colour"

"you swing for a different team, but you still play ball, don't you, Danny boy?" Stiles whispered to him.

"You're a horrible person" Danny muttered, Stiles nods "I know it keeps me awake at night. Anyway, about that text-"

"Stiles!" Derek shouted as he held up a shirt "none of these fit !"

Danny looked away from Derek as he began to type on the computer "I'll need the ISP, the phone number, and the exact time of the text"

Stiles threw his arms in the air victoriously, Harper shook her head smacking him in the side as he jumped slightly, his arms flying down sending her a look.

Stiles, Harper, and Derek looked at the screen, Danny leaning back in his chair "there, this text was sent from a computer. This one"

Harper's brows raise at the name "registered under that account name?" Derek questioned and Danny nodded

Stiles shook his head "No, no, that can't be right"

The Hale girl tucked her hair behind her ears, the girl leaning forward and looked at the account name as she read, Melissa McCall

The three sat in Stiles Jeep outside the hospital, Stiles put Scott on speaker "did you get the picture? " the McCall boy asked

Stiles nods "yeah, I did, And it looks just like the drawing"

Derek grabs his arm pulling the phone towards him "Hey, is there something on the back of it? there's gotta be something, An inscription, an opening, something"

Scott sighs "No, No, the thing's flat" he answered "And, no, it doesn't open" Scott added assuming his next question "there's nothing in it, on it, or around it, nothing, And where are you? you're supposed to be here, you're first line"

"Man you're not gonna play if you're not here to start."

Stiles hits the steering wheel "I know" he sighs "look, if you see my dad, can you tell him . . Tell him I'll be there, I'll just be a little bit late, Okay?" he pauses as Scott answers "all right, thanks" Stiles hangs up the phone.

Harper's gaze soften as she leaned on the console "you're not gonna make it"

Stiles glances at her "I know"

"you didn't tell him about his mom either" Derek adds.

Stiles sighs as he tilts his head "Not until we find out the truth"

Derek nods "By the way one more thing" Derek's reaches over and slams Stiles head into the steering wheel, Harper's eyes widen in shock as she looks between the two boys.

Stiles hand flies to his head "Oh God! what the hell was that for!"  he groans in pain.

Harper's eyes widen as she covers her mouth as she tries to make her laugh unnoticeable.

Derek points at him "You know what that was for. Go" he says sternly and points to the hospital "Go!" his voice raises.

Stiles opens the door and gets out the jeep Harper following behind him as he touches his head again his face contorted in pain, she laughs but quickly covers her mouth.

Stiles glares at her, his eye twitches "I'm concerned for you" he points at her.

her brows cinch together in confusion "Me?"

Stiles nods "Oh yeah, uh huh" he chuckles and points over her shoulder "he raised you, you two are like two peas in a pod"

Harper rolled her eyes as she lightly shoved him causing him to stumble into the door, his head snaps towards her as he frowns and shakes his head holding up a hand and flung the door open

"Oh come on, I barely touched" The Hale girl followed after him.

After awhile of searching, Stiles had called Derek "yeah, I said I can't find her"  Stiles said growing slightly annoyed as Harper listened for Derek's voice

"Look, ask for Jenifer. She's been looking after my Uncle" Derek informs the boy

The Two Teens make their way towards Peter's room, Harper looks around it, her eyes landing on the empty wheelchair, her brows cinch together before her heart drops in the pit of her stomach and her breathing grew faster, the realization begins to dawn on her.

"Yeah, well, he's not here either" Stiles spoke into the phone, before rolling his eyes "he's not here, he's gone, Derek"

"It's him" Harper utters gaining Stiles attention "Oh, my god" she takes a shaky breath her hand going to her forehead, a swirl of emotions running through the young girl.

"Stiles get out of there right now! It's him, he's the alpha! Get out!" Derek yelled into the phone.

he lowers the phone from his ear and takes Harper's arm, pulling her out of the room, Stiles jumps slightly as his eyes land on Peter.

Peter looked at the two as he leaned on the wall "you must be Stiles"

Stiles began to back away, his grip on Harper tightening slightly, taking her with him. Harper felt sick to her stomach her eyes staying trained on her father.

Peter's gaze shifts onto her "Dad" she whispers under her breath.

Stiles eyes widen as he looks at her "Dad! " he whispers before shaking his head "Scott did not tell me this" he curses his friend.

"What are you doing here?" Jenifer spoke at the two. Harper came to her sense and spun on her heels to look at the woman finally being able to tear her attention from the man in front of her.

Stiles points at her "you" he looks back at Peter and points with his other hand "and you" he looks back at Jenifer "you're the one who" he trailed off.

"Oh my . . And he's the one . . . Oh my god I'm gonna die" his voices raises in pitch and runs a hand through his hair.

Harper smacks Stiles arm "Shut up" she whispers through gritted teeth.

Derek appeared behind Jenifer as he elbowed Jenifer in the face knocking her unconscious.

"that's not nice" Peter tilts his head "She's my nurse"

"she's a psychotic bitch helping you kill people" Derek spat before he shifts his gaze to Stiles and Harper for a split second "get out of the way"

Stiles exhaled as his face falls "Oh damn" he drops to the ground, Harper stood there as she looked back to Peter but her stare got broken as Stiles takes ahold of her arm pulling her down.

Peter stalked towards Derek "you think I killed Laura on purpose, One of my own family?"

Derek menacingly roars before lunging at Peter, he grabbed the collar of Derek's jacket and slams him into the wall before tossing him into the other, Harper and Stiles backed away still on the ground.

Derek slide down the wall and onto the ground

Harper's eyes lit up, glowing their vibrant blue as she went to stand, but Stiles grabbed her arm "what are you doing!?"

"he's my family" Stiles noticed the worry in her eyes, he felt the exact same way whenever he thought his father got hurt and just when he was about to let go Derek's voice gained their attention

Derek glanced at her from where he was on the floor "Harper, go!"

she fought with her own mind before she hesitantly followed Stiles away, the pair hiding behind the front desk while Derek and Peter continued to fight, glass shattered as Derek landed on the floor beside them

Harper's eyes landed on him as she muttered something under her breath before her head snaps to Stiles "Stay here" she says sternly before rushing over to Derek who was crawling away from Peter.

Harper hooked her arm with his as she goes to help him up, she glances over her shoulder as Peter slowly walks towards them- in a way that almost says you can't stop me.

the two turn around the corner and head into a room Derek leans against the wall before sliding down his face contorted with pain, Harper followed him to the ground her worried eyes scanning over him.

footsteps filling her ears pulled her attention away from Derek as she looks up to her father- But she couldn't recognize the man in front of her, that man wasn't the person who raised her all she could see was a vengeful killer who murdered Laura.

he looked at the two "I was going to wait for dramatic flair, but" he trailed off, spinning a little mirror beside him, the rest of the burn scars on his face healing completely.

he stops the mirror and admires himself "when you look this good, Why wait?"

Derek sent a glare his way while Harper frowned a saddened expression on her face while looking at her father. How could he have done that to Laura, his own family Just for power, just to become an alpha.

"you have to give me a chance to explain" Peter crouches slightly "After all, We're family"
