TEEN WOLF
SEASON 1 EPISODE 4

─────────────────────

             Imelia was walking through the halls with Allison and Lydia as Allison mentions that Scott was coming over after school.

Lydia looks at the girl "Scott's coming over, tonight?"

Allison shrugs her shoulders "we're just studying"

Imelia couldn't help but laugh slightly causing the Argent girl to give her a confused glance.

"Just studying never ends with just studying" Lydia clarifies causing Allison to look back to her "It's like getting into a hot tub. Somebody eventually cops a feel"

"So what are you saying?" Allison asks quickly

Lydia takes a breath as she tilts her head "I'm just saying, you know, Make sure he covers up" a slightly confused look covers Allison face causing Lydia to chuckle as she nudges the girl "Hello, Snow White, I'm talking about a condom"

Allison's eyes widen slightly as she chuckles out "Are you kidding? After one date?"

Imelia tilts her head "well, you don't have to give it all away. Though that's what most guys are hoping for"

Lydia nods in agreement "exactly, Just give him a little taste"

"Well, I mean" Allison crosses her arms as she speaks just above a whisper towards the two girls"how much is a little taste?"

Imelia and Lydia share a look with slight smiles as Lydia looks back at the Argent "Oh god, you really do like him, don't you?"

Allison bunches her shoulders "well, he's just different. When I first moved here I had a plan, no boyfriends till college. I just move too much. But then I met him, and he was different." she chuckles with a shrug "I don't know, I can't explain it"

"I can. It's your brain flooding with phenylethylamine" Lydia deadpans to the two.

Imelia's brows draw together confusion covering her face as her mouth hangs open slightly. Imelia knew just how smart her best friend was even though she pretends to be dumb- Which Imelia blames on Jackson not the own girls choices.

While Allison laughs with the same confused expression "what?"

Lydia tilts her head at the Argent girl "I'll tell you what to do. When's he coming over?"

"Right after school" Allison answered. Lydia hummed as the bell rang. Imelia's eyes widen as a hand wraps around her arm pulling her back.

"I have so many questions" Andrew said quickly looking at his sister "you left me on a complete cliff hanger, which was not okay by the way and Scott was completely useless and I've never seen you leave me in the driveway so fast this morning"

Imelia bunches her shoulders "It was really early, I didn't want all the questions"

Andrew gives the girl a look "you walked in the house last night and said 'hey, Derek didn't bite me and Scott there's another one called an alpha, goodnight I'm going to bed' You literally dropped a bomb and took cover"

Imelia shook her head as she began to walk down the hall knowing Andrew wasn't going to let her go back to her previous conversation "I was tired"

Andrew lets out an exasperated groan tossing his head back "Oh my god" the blonde took a deep breath closing his eyes for a moment "So who's the other one?"

Imelia frowns with a shake of her head "I don't know, Derek doesn't know either"

Andrew went to speak again but Imelia raised her hand "the answer to probably every question your gonna ask is either no or I don't know"

Andrew sighs as they walk out the doors towards Imelia's car "I hate not knowing, It kills me" he tilts his head "are you sure it's not Derek, I mean he's the only other were-thingy we know about. I think we grazed past that too quickly, i mean you and Scott are werewolves, do you think we need time grieve or something?"

Imelia looked at her brother with furrowed brows her hand on the handle to her car "what?"

"you know like grieve the person you once were or whatever" Andrew said as he made his way around the car

Imelia gave him a look her brows still furrowed "I'm still the same person you jackass"

"Okay, the name calling was unnecessary-" Andrew stopped mid sentence as the sound of tires skidding to a stop caught the twins attention as they look at the all to familiar blue Jeep.

Imelia squints slightly trying to make out the man in front of the jeep holding his hand out "Is that Derek?" she questions with raised brows.

The two Drake's share a look as Derek falls to the ground Scott rushes over as Stiles gets out of the jeep Andrew and Imelia jogging over shortly after

"Jeez, what's wrong with him?" Andrew mumbles looking at the pale face of Derek Hale

"what are you doing here?" Scott questions the man as he crouches down in front of him

"I was shot" Derek said, his breathing ridged."

Andrew made an 'o' shape with his mouth as he nodded "that's what's wrong with him"

Imelia smacked her brother's arm giving him a look before shifting her gaze back to Derek "why aren't you healing?"

Derek shakes his head "I can't. . . It was a different kind of bullet"

"A silver bullet?" Stiles asks quickly, almost excitement in his tone.

Derek gives the boy a 'seriously' look "No, you idiot"

"wait, wait" Scott's voice gained Imelia's attention "that's what she meant when she said you had 48 hours"

Imelia's brow draw together "who said?"

Scott glanced over his shoulder "the one who shot him"

"Um" Andrew points to Derek who's eyes were glowing a vibrant blue

Scott looks back at Derek with wide eyes as he looks around quickly "what are you doing!? Stop that"

"That's what I'm trying to tell you, I can't" Derek seethed out.

Scott looked around once again as more horns began to honk impatiently given Stiles' jeep was in everyone's way, blocking everyone in.

"help me get him in your car" Scott said as he latches his arms around the older man helping him up Imelia came up on the other side of Derek helping Scott lead him to the passenger side of the Jeep while Stiles opens the door.

Derek climbs into the jeep as Stiles opens the drivers side door motioning for Imelia and Andrew to climb in.

Imelia shakes her head "I'm not coming, my car's here It's kind of my way to and from school, so"

Andrew rolled his eyes "Mel, Stiles can get us tomorrow just get in the damn car"

Imelia gives her brother a quick glare before sighing and climbing into the jeep Andrew following after until Stiles got in and shut the door.

Scott looks at the Stilinski as he spoke "Get him out of here"

Stiles shook his head at his friend "I hate you for this, So much" and with that Stiles drove out of the parking lot.

Stiles eyes look away from the road only for a split second as he glances at Derek "Try not to bleed out on my seats, Okay? We're almost there"

"Almost where?" Derek asks his head hanging low

"Your house" Stiles answered like it was the most obvious thing ever

Derek's head shot up as he looked at the boy "What? No, you can't take me there"

"I can't take you to your own house?" Stiles questioned with disbelief

Derek shook his head "not when I can't protect myself"

Stiles jerks the jeep to the side as the slowly come to a stop and Stiles flicks off the jeep turning to the Hale "what happens if Scott can't find your little magic bullet? Hmm?"

Imelia leans in between the seats as she spoke "I mean that's a good point"

"Are you dying?" Andrew asked as he pushed Imelia to the side slightly earning a quick look

"Not yet" Derek took a breath "I have a last resort"

"what do you mean, What last resort!?" Stiles stopped, his eyes looking at the now revealed bullet wound on Derek's arm causing the boys face to contort as he looks away "Oh my god, what is that?"

Imelia's eyes shift to the wound that had blood oozing out of it and black lines surrounding it causing the girl to look away immediately closing her eyes for a moment

"Oh, Is that contagious? you know what, you should probably just get out" Stiles motioned to the door

"Start the car" Derek looked at him "Now"

"I don't think you should be barking orders with the way you look, Okay? In fact, I think if I wanted to, I could probably drag your little werewolf ass out into the middle of the road and leave you for dead!"

Andrew looked to his friend as he leaned closer to him "Stiles, I'll give you twenty bucks if you do it"

Derek sent a quick glare at the blonde causing Andrew to sink back into the seat before looking at Stiles "Start the car, or I'm gonna rip your throat out with my teeth"

the two stared at each other for a moment before Stiles sighs and turns the keys, the engine rumbling to life as they pull out onto the road and make their way down it once again.

Imelia rested her head in her hands, her leg bounced repeatedly as she listened to the phone call Stiles was having with Scott.

"what am I supposed to do with him?" Stiles questioned his friend while giving a quick look at Derek

Scott shrugged his shoulders "take him somewhere, Anywhere!"

Stiles sighs tossing his head back as he spoke "And by the way, he's starting to smell"

"Like what?"

"Like death" the Stilinski answered. Imelia tilted her head with a shrug "that's actually pretty spot on" she muttered earning a chuckle from Andrew

Imelia noticed Scott's silence as she leaned forward taking the phone from Stiles hand earning mumbles and looks from him.

She places the phone to her ear "Scott I swear to god if you don't find that stupid bullet soon me and you are going to have a problem"

"Have you seen this place?" Scott whispered into his phone "There's bullets everywhere, how the hell am I supposed to find one bullet"

Imelia bunches her shoulders "I don't know, Scott. Sniff it out" everyone in the car gives her a look causing her to sigh "Just find it, please"

Imelia went to hand the phone back to Stiles before quickly putting it back to her ear "Oh, and where the hell are we supposed to take his slowly dying werewolf ass because he won't let us take him home"

Scott took a breath "Okay, take him to the animal clinic, there's a spare key in the box behind the dumpster"

Imelia nodded "Alright" she trailed off and went to hand the phone to Stiles "he said take him to the animal clinic"

Stiles looks at her with slightly widen eyes "what?"

before Stiles could take his phone back Derek took it from the girls hand "did you find it?" he sighed out

"How am I supposed to find one bullet?" Scott questions while Imelia continues to listen in on the conversation "they have a million! this house is like the freaking Walmart of guns"

"Look if you don't find it, then I'm dead, alright?" Derek deadpanned his expression not changing

"I'm starting to think that wouldn't be such a bad thing" Scott muttered

Derek's brows raise "Then think about this. the Alpha calls you out against your will. He's gonna do it again. Next time, you either kill with him or you get killed. So if you wanna stay alive, then you need me. Find the bullet"

Derek hung up the phone passing it back to Stiles while Derek's words rattle through Imelia's mind.

Andrew opened the door to the animal clinic as Derek stumbles in falling onto a stack of bags of dog food

Stiles' phone buzzed in his pocket gaining Imelia's attention as she looks at him

Stiles brows draw together before he asks "Does Nordic blue monkshood mean anything to you?"

Imelia's brows draw together at the name before her gaze turns to Derek as he spoke "It's a rare form of wolfsbane. He has to bring me the bullet"

"why?" Andrew questioned walking up beside his sister

Derek looked at him " 'Cause I'm gonna die without it"

. . .

the four walk into the back room of the clinic Imelia jogs slightly to the doorway looking around quickly making sure Deaton was gone for the night as she looks over her shoulder giving Stiles and Andrew a quick nod before she rejoins them.

Derek tosses his shirt on the counter before he leans on the table in the center of the room. Imelia's eyes look at the bullet wound once again causing her face to contort in slight disgust at how much worse the wound now looks and the dark black veins running up and down Derek's arm from it.

"you know that really doesn't look like anything some echinacea and a good nights sleep couldn't take care of" Stiles says with a shrug earning looks from the two Drake's

Andrew scoffs lightly as he smacks Stiles arm "Sure, pal"

"when the infection reaches my heart, it'll kill me" Derek struggles out his breathing heavy as he begins to search through the drawers

"Positivity just isn't in your vocabulary, is it?" Stiles frowns with a shrug

"if he doesn't get here with the bullet in time" Derek pauses for a moment "last resort"

"yeah, quick question" Imelia said as she scratched her brow "what exactly is this last resort?"

Stiles motions to the blonde "yes, exactly"

Derek turns to the three holding up a bone saw "One of you are gonna cut off my arm"

all of the teens eyes widen while Andrew's mouth hangs open slightly as Derek slides it across the table

Stiles picks it up turning it on for not even a second before he sets it back down mumbling an oh my god before looking at Derek "what if you bleed to death"

"It will heal if it works" Derek answered as he continues to tie an elastic around his arm

Andrew's eyes go even wider as he leans on the table "IF!?"

Stiles takes a breath an unpleasant look on his face "Look, I don't think I can do this"

"Why not?" Derek questions growing slightly frustrated

Stiles tilts his head "well, because of the cutting through the flesh, the sawing of the bone, and especially the blood!"

Derek's hand hits the table as he looks at Stiles "You faint at the sight of blood?"

"No, but I might at the sight of a chopped-off arm!" Stiles exclaims Andrew nodding in agreement "Yeah, I might puke"

Imelia shakes her head taking a step back from the table "yeah, I'm not cutting your arm off"

Derek sighs looking between the three "Alright, fine, how about this? Either one of you cut off my arm, or I'm gonna cut off your heads"

Stiles rolls his eyes "Okay, you know, I'm so not buying your threats anymore-"

Stiles was cut short as Derek grabs ahold of his shirt pulling him almost over the table as Stiles begins to ramble "Oh, my god! Okay. Alright, bought, sold, totally, I'll do it, I'll do it"

Derek's grip faulters as he lets Stiles go before he leans over the table throwing up, black blood leaving his lips.

Andrew gags slightly as he turns away from the scene his hand covering his mouth while he shakes his head "i can't do this"

"Holy God, what the hell is that!" Stiles voice raises as he looks away. Imelia's face covers in disgust as she looks back at Derek who was leaning on the table

"it's my body, it's trying to heal itself" he struggles out

Stiles shakes his head "Well it's not doing a very good job at it"

Derek glances at him "now, you gotta do it now"

Stiles looks from Derek's arm and the bone saw before speaking "look, honestly, I don't think I can do it-"

"Just do it!" Derek's voice raised and Stiles quickly grabbed the bone saw

Stiles takes deep breaths before shaking his head "I can't do it" he holds the saw out to Andrew who just raises his hands backing away "No"

Stiles looks towards Imelia who immediately points a finger at him a stern look covering her face "No, no, no, you said you were gonna do it, your fault, now you have to do it"

Stiles sighs turning back to Derek as he sets the saw on his arm "Oh god, alright here we go!" just as he was about to turn the bone saw on a voice stopped him and gained all of their attention

"guys" Scott's voice calling out for them filled their ears as the look at the doorway

"Scott?" Stiles questions

the McCall comes rushing into the room stopping at the doorway his eyes widening at the sight in front of him "what the hell are you doing?"

Stiles lets out a relieved chuckle as he sets the bone saw down "Oh, you just prevented a lifetime of nightmares"

"Did you get it?" Derek asked standing up straight

Scott searches through his pocket before pulling out the bullet and handing it to the Hale who holds it up in front of him.

"what are you gonna do with it?" Andrew questions making his way towards the table

"I'm gonna . . . I'm gonn-" before Derek could finish what he was saying his eyes fall closed as he falls to the ground unconscious the bullet falling from his grasp

Imelia's eyes widen as she rushes towards the bullet in hopes of getting to it before it went under a filing cabinet but had failed as it rolled under Scott quickly rushed up beside her as they look under it only to see it had fallen into a vent.

while Stiles and Andrew are tapping Derek's face trying to wake him up. Scott reaches his arm under the cabinet trying to grab ahold of the bullet

"Guys, what the hell are we gonna do?" Stiles asked looking at everyone

"I don't know" Scott answered his voice raising slightly as he continues to try and reach the bullet causing him to sigh "I can't reach it"

Andrew looks down at Derek before looking to Stiles "I think he's dead"

Stiles eyes widen slightly as he looks at Derek then to Scott and Imelia "I think he's dying, I think he's dead"

Imelia looked from her brother and Stiles then to the cabinet "why don't try and move the cabinet?"

"Just hold on" it falls silent for a moment before Scott pulls his arm out holding onto the bullet "I got it!"

"Oh thank god" Imelia sighed out as she and Scott get up from the ground and make their way towards Derek, Stiles, and Andrew

Stiles tilts his head "please don't kill me for this"

Andrew looks at him with furrowed brows "What are you doing?"

Stiles pulls his arm back before punching Derek in the side of his face and immediately grabs ahold of his own hand "Ow!"

Andrew and Stiles stand up from the ground as Derek's eyes re-open and he quickly takes the bullet from Scott's hand.

Scott and Imelia come up behind him helping the Hale to his feet. Derek looks at the bullet before ripping the top off and knocking out whatever wolfsbane was in it. Derek grabbed a lighter as he lit the wolfsbane on fire which quickly died out leaving a trail of blueish purple color.

Derek sweeps it into his hand before pressing it in his bullet wound causing him to scream in pain falling onto the ground, the four watching with wide eyes as the wound begins to close and the black lines disappearing and Derek's screaming had stopped.

"That was Awesome! Yes!" Stiles said with a wide smile on his face earning questioning looks all of his friends

Scott looked away from Stiles and turned his attention to Derek "are you okay?"

"Except for the agonizing pain?" Derek spat sarcastically pushing himself up from the ground

"I'm guessing the ability to use sarcasm is a good sign of health" Stiles mutters earning a glare from Derek

"Okay we saved your life, which means you're gonna leave us alone. You got that?" Scott raised his brows at Derek as he continues to talk "And if you don't, I'm gonna go back to Allison's dad, I'm- I'm gonna tell him everything"

"your gonna trust them?" Derek questioned cutting the boy short "you think they can help you?"

maybe Scott thought that way but Imelia didn't, she was shot in the woods with an arrow by them, they're a family of hunters and the only person Imelia believes she can trust out of them without the feeling of needing to watch her back is Allison.

"Why not?" Scott bunches his shoulders "they're a lot freaking nicer than you are"

Derek scoffs before nodding "yeah, I can show you how nice they are"

Imelia's brows draw together "what do you mean?"

Imelia climbs out of Derek's care as she reads the sign in front of the building they were at 'Beacons crossing home, a long term care facility'

"What are we doing here?" Scott questions shutting the car door as he and Imelia share a look before rushing after Derek into the building.

The three made their way down the hall until Derek stops at a door, opening it before walking in the two Teens following.

Imelia's eyes land on a man in a wheelchair staring blankly at the wall in front of him

her gaze was pulled away as Scott's voice filled her ears "Who is he?"

"My uncle" Derek answered still looking at the man in front of him "Peter Hale"

Imelia took a breath "Is he like you, A werewolf?"

Derek nodded "he was. Now he's barley even human. Six years ago, My sister and I were at school. Our house caught fire. Eleven people were trapped inside" he paused taking a breath "he was the only survivor"

Scott looked away from Peter sighing slightly "So what makes you so sure that they set the fire?"

Derek scoffed with a shake of his head "They were the only ones that knew about us"

"Then" Scott trailed off with a shrug "they had a reason"

"Scott" Imelia spoke looking away from Peter to him "I don't think there's a good reason to light someone's house on fire with people inside"

Scott shook his head "there had to have been a reason"

Derek looked at him "Like what? You tell me what justifies this?" Derek leaned forward turning the mans wheelchair to reveal the burn scars covering the right side of his face

Derek took a step back as he spoke "they say they'll only kill an adult and only with absolute proof. But there were people in my family that were perfectly ordinary in that fire. This is what they do, And it's what Allison will do"

"what are you doing, how did you get in here?" a nurse named Jenifer spoke

"we were just leaving" Derek answered giving the two a look before the three of them leave the room and leaving Imelia with a slightly uneasy feeling covering her from head to toe.
