There's a dead pool.
A dead pool for the supernatural creatures.
I'll be okay.
Derek, Scott, Lydia and Kira are on there.
I've been sat with Derek whilst he sorts through stuff.
Scott wanted to meet Derek at School and because im bored, im going too. I'm dying to meet Scott's new beta.
Derek drags his Lacrosse stick across the floor and I follow behind him.
We revealed ourself to the young boy, he's cute.
"Is this yours?" Derek taunts. Derek snaps it in half and the look on the boys face was enough. He looked so angry as Derek threw his broken Lacrosse sti k to him.
The boy looks up with glowing yellow eyes and lets out a low growl. Uh oh.
He charges at us but Derek grabs him by his throat and shoves him up against the lockers as he growls.
"Liam." Scott calls and he starts to calm down.
"You're right. He is angry." Derek says as he lets Liam down. "Very angry." I say as he catches his breath.
"This one's yours." Scott says handing Liam a stick. Liam turns to us and glares at Derek as the bell rings.
"Get to class, Liam." Scott says and I smile. "It's nice to meet you." I say and furrow his eyebrows. "I should give you a cute nickname." I say and Derek shakes his head at me and I sigh.
Liam then heads out of the changing rooms and Derek smiles.
"Whar are you smiling about?" Scott asks. "You're gonna be good at this." Derek says and I roll my eyes. Cringe.
"Are you kidding? I am totally unprepared. Remember how you said you could teach me a few things? I think, right now I could use a full-on training manual." Scott says and I roll my eyes.
"I'll tell you one thing. That anger he's got. It'll make him strong." Derek says. "And dangerous." Scott says. "Very." Derek says and I roll my eyes.
"Who cares? We can use some anger on our side." I say as Scott sits down.
"This was supposed to be the semester I could focus on school again." He says and Derek sits beside him.
"But Kate's back. And I've got a Beta. And there's a dead pool." Scott complains. "If all our names are on that list, then that's what we should he focused on." Derek says and I pat Derek's head.
"Who even cares about Kate? When I see her, I'm gonna karate chop the shit outta her." I say and Derek glances up at me. "That's not gonna happen." Derek says and I scoff. "Sure it is." I say and he rolls his eyes.
"Do you think Lydia can get that second key?" Derek asks Scott. "She's working on it." Scott says.
We head to the coffee shop and I help out for a while till it was dark out. That's when Derek and I met up with Argent and went to the hale vault.
Derek opens the vault and I look down in it. "Looks creepy." I say and he rolls his eyes before grabbing my hand and dragging me down with him.
I stand in the vault as Derek gets the triskelele from a box and then hands it to Argent.
"She was here for this." He says and Argent looks up at him. "We use it to teach toung Beta's how to control the shifts on a full moon." He says.
"Control was never one of Kate's strengths." Argent says handing the triskelele back to Derek.
"You knew she was alive, didn't you?" Derek asks. "Not for certain. But I'd been searching ever since you handed me the shotgun shell." Argent says.
"What are you gonna do when you find her?" Derek asks. "There's a place I can take her." He says and we start looking around the vault.
"You saying you have some kind of werewolf jail?" Derek asks and I smile. "Sounds cool." I say to Argent. "Something like that." Argent says.
"She won't go quietly." Derek says and I roll my eyes. Who even gives a shit? "I don't expect her to. And I'll do what's necessary. " Argent says
"What if I asked you not to?" Derek asks and I turn to him with a raised an eyebrow.
"She took something from me." He says and I instantly take a breath of relief. I do NOT want Kate around.
Derek flashes his eyes yellow to Argent.
"At first I thought it was a part of my past. I started to lose something else." He adds. "My sense of smell." He continues.
"I'm losing my power." He says and I sigh whilst looking up at him.

I get to the animal clinic with Stiles and Derek who are holding Brett to a table whilst he jitters around.
"What the hell is happening to this kid?" Stiles asks and I move to his side to help him hold Brett down. Well, attempt.
"He's been poisoned by a rare wolfsbane. I need to make an incision and you need to hold him as still as possible." Deaton says but holding Brett down is really difficult.
"Hey, Derek, how about a little werewolf strength?" Stiles asks and I roll my eyes. "Yeah, im not the only one here with werewolf strength." Derek complains.
"If you can't hold him still, the incision might kill him." Deaton says and I roll my eyes.
"He's slipping. I don't think I can hold him." Stiles says and I sigh. "Same. I really need to get to a gym and work on these muscles." I say before Brett throws us back.
I smack my head when I get knocked down.
Derek grabs me and pulls me up whilst lookimg at my head after Peter knocked Brett out. "I'm fine." I say patting Derek's chest.
"I guess I still have a little werewolf strength myself." Peter says and I roll my eyes. "Yeah, maybe more than a little." Derek says and we look down to the claw marks on his arms that weren't healing.
"Hey doc, I don't think he's breathing." Stiles says and both of them focus on Brett.
Deaton makes the incision which makes Brett gasp.
"Is he okay?" Stiles asks. "I think he'll be fine, but he'll probably be out for a while." Deaton says but me and Derek turn our attention to Derek's arm.
"Guys can you hear that? I think he's saying something." Stiles says as him and Deaton lean over Brett's whimpering body.
Deaton sits back up and looks over to me and Derek. "The sun, the moon, the truth." He repeats for us.
"It's buddhist." Deaton says and I look up at Derek. "Satomi." Peter says and I sigh.

The next morning I had a shower to wash my hair.
After blow drying and straightening my hair I do my makeup. I then put on a lavender spaghetti strap dress and one of Derek's leather jacket.
After I eat something and Derek had gotten ready, we head to school.
Derek heads inside to find Malia whilst I catch up with Issac and apologise for not answering because I was kidnapped which he obviously didn't mind.
Derek came back to the car and Malia climbed into the back of his car.
"Hey." I say straining my neck to smile at her. "Hi." She smiles back. "I bet you're happy we pulled you from school. Just so you know, I'm not on board with it. Personally I think it could've waited." I say and give Derek a slight glare.
We get to the woods and I jump out of Derek's car.
"Their Alpha is a women named Satomi. She's one of the oldest werewolves alive. And she's learned a lot." Derek says to fill Malia in as we head into the woods.
"What does that mean?" Malia asks. "She's a bitten werwolf. Learning control wasn't easy for her. She did something a long time ago that changed her." Derek says and I drag my feet behind them.
"The quote is a mantra. It helps them with control." He says and suddenly Malia comes to a stop. "What is it?" Derek and I say in sync.
Twinses.
"Gunpowder." Malia says before talking a step forward.
Derek leans down and picks a gun shell off of the floor and examines it. "Familiar?" I ask and he looks up at me and sighs. "Nope." He says before looking out at the woods.
"If Brett's pack is out here, I don't think they're meeting." Derek says and Malia turns to me as if I know something. "They're hiding." Derek adds. "Are they dying?" I ask and he shrugs. "Hopefully not." He says standing back up.
We search the woods for ages. But there wasn't really anything.
We get back in the back and Malia sighs. "I'm sorry." Malia apologises. "There's nothing to be sorry about." Derek says and I grab his hand and pull it into my lap. I can't imagine how he feels.
"If they don't want to be found, then we're not going to find them. Some werewolves have an ability. A kind of mastery over their bodies where they can actuallt inhibit their scent" Derek says.
"They can hide from other werewolves?" Malia asks leaning on the console to look between us. "From anyone who's trying to find them." Derek says. "That's pretty cool." I say and Malia agrees with me.
"So that's why nobody knew about Brett." Malia says. "Same with Demarco." Derek adds.
"Maybe we need to try something different. Maybe we need to think like Stiles." Malia says and I look up at Derek. "Like a hyperactive spaz?" He asks and I slap his wrist. "Like a detective." Malia adds for him.
"If they're really Buddhists, then maybe instead of asking where werewolves hide, we should be asking--
"Where would Buddhists hide." Me and Derek say in sync and Malia nods. "We're so in sync it's mad." I say pointing back and forth at our heads and he just rolls his eyes.
"When Buddha say under the Bodhi tree, he looked to the east for enlightenment." Derek states and I look at Malia comfused.
"Is there some kind of eastern point in Beacon Hills?" Malia asks. "Yeah." Derek says and I glance over to him. "Lookout point." We say in sync again and he turns to me and glares already.
"Come on we're turning into the same person. It's cute." I say and he rolls his eyes. "No it means we spend too much time together." He says putting the car on to drive to lookout point.
"Don't act like you don't love it, you're my bitch." I say punching his arm. "I'm tryna to drive." He glares and I roll my eyes. "It's all good. It's just a bit of fun." I say and he sighs.
"It'll be fun when Malia and I heal and you get sent to the hospital." He says and I roll my eyes and mimic him under my breath. "I don't understand why you do that, I know you know I can hear you." He says and I smile.
"I'm just teasing you. You need to calm down." I say and he rolls his eyes. "You're lucky I love you." He blurts out and my eyes widen.
"You love me?" I ask and he rolls his eyes. "Shut up." He says and I smile. "Aw aren't you the sweetest. Really know how to make a girl blush." I tease and he rolls his eyes.
We get out of his car and end up walking the rest of the way to lookout point.
We get to a certain point and Malia grabs my wrist and stops us. "Malia?" Derek questions whilst looking at my wrist.
"You don't smell that?" Malia asks in pure disgust. "Wait for me. Right here." He says and glares at me as I try to follow.
"Why didn't you say it back?" Malia asks as he walks off. I look up at her confused. "Why didn't you tell him you loved him back?" She asks and realisation hits me. Shit. I didn't realise I didn't say it back. Fuck.
I no longer see Derek so I follow his trail and find him just stood looking at a bunch of dead bodies.
"What happened?" Malia asks and I grab Derek's hand as I shiver. "I think they might have been poisoned." Derek says.
"That's great. If assassins with guns don't get you, then the ones with wolfsbane poison will. Or maybe one with no mouth." Malia says sarcastically. She's spent too much time with Stiles.
"Maybe we should all be running from Beacon Hills. Running for our lives. As fast as we can." She adds before turning back.
I pull Derek with me when a branch snaps. We turn back around to see a hand rise. He holds my hand tightly as we run towards it.
"Oh my god." I say looking down at a bloodied Braden. "Oh my god indeed." He says before helping her up.
We get back in the car and immediately drive to thr hospital.
Derek helped Braeden out of the car and I ran inside.
"We need help!" I yell when I open the doors.
"Nia? What it is?" Melissa asks and I sigh. "Quickly." I say to Derek who carries Braden in.
"She's been shot. I think she's dying." I say to Melissa and she nods as people get a bed and rush her away straight away. "We've got her don't worry." Melissa says before rushing after them.
