This chapter will be season 3, episode 10. Just after Nia has been taking by Jennifer.
I look between Scott and Stiles and just sigh. "Are you sure?" I ask them and he nods. "She's coming." I say to them and they both hide.
"Derek? Derek where are you?" Jennifer calls opening the loft doors and I roll my eyes before turning round to her. "Right here." I say and she rushes towards me.
She wraps her arms around my neck and I play along and hug her back. Does she know we aren't actually dating?
If Scott and Stiles are telling the truth she has Nia and her father tied up somewhere. I need to get to Nia.
"Something happened at the recital. At the school. Okay, I need to tell you before you hear it, before you hear any of it from them." She says and I pretend to be confused. Jokes on her, I already know what's going on.
"From who?" I ask her. "Scott, Stiles. They're gonna tell you things. Things you can't believe. You have to trust me, okay? You trust me." She says. "What is it?" I ask her 'confused'.
"Promise you'll listen to me." She says. "I promise." I lie. Because the second I found out she has Nia there will be hell fire.
She kisses me and I barely find it in me to kiss back.
"They're already here, aren't they. " she says and I glance over to Scott and Stiles who come out of hiding.
"So, they told you it was me? That I'm the one taking people?" She asks and I look and wait for her answer.
"We told him you're the one killing people." Scott says and she chuckles. "Oh, that's right. Comitting human sacrifices? What, cutting their throats? Yeah I probably do it on my lunch hour. That way, I can get back to teaching high school English the rest of the day. That makes perfect sense." She says.
"Where's my dad? And where the hell is my sister?" Stiles asks as a tear cascaded down his cheek. "How should I know?" Jennifer asks as I grow angrier. It's obvious Stiles isn't lying and I need to find Nia.
She turns back to me and looks at me with sincerity. "Derek, tell me you don't believe this." She says and I glance over to Stiles again. He looks like hell.
"Do you know what happened to Stiles's father? Or where Nia has fallen off of the face of the earth to?" I ask and she shakes her head no. "No." She says sadly.
"Ask her why she almost killed Lydia." Scott says and I look at the girl infront of me who's still looking at Scott. "Lydia Martin? I don't know anything about that." She says and I mentally roll my eyes.
"What do you know?" I ask raising an eyebrow at her. "I know that these boys, for whatever misguided reason, are filling your head with an absurd story. And playing on your emotional connection with Nia." She says and spins back to the boys. "They have no proof." She says annoyed.
"What if we can?" Scott asks taking a jar from his pocket. "What is that?" She asks more worried. "My boss told me it's a poison and a cure." Scott says and I slowly step away from Jennifer.
"Which means you can use it and it can be used against you." He says. "Mistletoe?" She questions as Scott throws it in her direction.
It whips around her and she tries to block herself. She begins to scream and for a second we watch her turn into the darach.
When she returns to normal she looks between us all before trying to run off. I grab her throat and flick out my claws as she starts to plead with me.
"You need me." She says and I squeeze her throat. "What are you?" I ask squeezing her throat tighter. "The only person who can save your sister. Call Peter. Call him!" She says and I glare at her.
"Nia?" I question her but she doesn't say anything. "Where's Nia?" I yell and she doesn't answer she just chokes a bit. I loosen the grip for her to talk. "Call Peter." She mutters.
I get off of the phone with Peter and squeeze her throat tighter. "Derek? Derek what are you doing?" Scott asks as I glare down at her.
"Her life, it's in my hands! Both of their lives are!" She grunts and I hold her off of the floor.
"Derek stop!" Stiles repeats to me and I look over to him. "Stilinski, you'll never find them." She says and I glare up at her. I will help them. All three of them. Cora, Nia and the Sheriff.
"Derek!" Scott shouts and I roll my eyes before throwing her to the floor.
"That's right." She says looking up at me whilst laughing. "You need me. All of you." She adds looking between us.

"You should know I'm not doing this because I have to." Jennifer says as I focus on the road. "I want to. I could still run and you wouldn't have any easy time stopping me." She adds. If she continues talking I might kill her.
"But I don't want your sister to die. Nia, yeah. Cora, no." She says and I glare over at her. "I'm only doing what I had to do." She says and I turn my focus back to the road.
"Okay, what sacrifice does she come under?" I ask her and she doesn't say anything. "She isn't a virgin. She isn't a warrior. She isn't a healer. She isn't a philosopher and she isn't a guardian." I argue.
"It doesn't matter what sacrifice she is. Just that she is one." She says and it takes everything in me not to stop the car and rip her to shreads. "Just tell me why!" I yell.
"I did it for you." She says and I raise an eyebrow. "Me?" I ask and she shrugs. "Well... us." She says and I hold in a growl. I'm gonna kill her.
"It's always been about her, don't you get that? It's always been her in your eyes, I don't compare to her. Anytime I get you alone she's always some what involved. She's a homewrecker." She says and I grip the steering wheel. I need out of this car before I rip her apart.
"You need to hear the whole story, Derek. You need to know just how connected we really are." She says and my blood only heatens more. "Stop talking." I warn.
We get to the hospital and I grab her arm and pull her through the hospital.
Scott's mom stops him and I swear right now isn't the best time for a chat.
Once they finish talking we head for the elevator where I hold her arm firmly.
"You don't need to keep me on a leash Derek, I'm going to help." She says as Scott and Stiles watch her every move.
We get onto Cora's floor and the hospital bed was empty and puddle of black blood was on the floor.
"Derek." Scott says gesturing to the droplets of black blood on the floor. We look at the door to hear the muffled grunting and Peter gets slid to our feet.
"We've got a problem. A big problem." Peter says and I look down at him with a raised eyebrow. As if this day couldn't get any worse, I look at the joint alpha twins at the end of the corridor.
I wolf up and immediately run over to them and start fighting them. I'm so pissed off with Jennifer that I can't even think.
I turn to see her in the elevator and grow angry with her. 'Wants to help' my ass.
I follow them into a room as Peter carries Cora.
He puts her down and I watch out the doors.
"Where's the big guy?" Peter asks. "He's close." I say watching out for them.
"What about Ms. Blake?" Stiles asks. "What do you mean? What does that mean? Like, she's gone? Scott are you kidding me!" Stiles says rather loudly. These Stilinski's really don't know what's best for them do they. "Shh. Quiet." I say turning around.
"Me be quiet? Me, huh? Are you telling me what to do now? When your psychotic, nass murdering girlfriend, the second one you've dated by the way, has got my dad and sister somewhere, tied up, waiting to be ritually sacrificed?" He asks and I glare at him.
I would seriously hurt him if I hadn't pissed Nia off enough as it is.
"Stiles, they're still out there." Scott says in a hushed tone. "And... and they want her, right? Which means now we don't have her either, so my dad, Nia and Cora are all dead!" Stiles exclaims.
"Not yet." Scott says trying to calm him down. He then strides over to Peter and Cora.
"I'll get them back Stiles. Trust me. You'll get them back even if it's the last thing I do. I swear to you." I promise and Stiles runs a hand over his face.
"You can't. Only I can." Jennifer barges in and I roll my eyes. I'm definitely gonna kill her.
"I can save her, and I can tell you where Nia and the Sheriff is." She says looking between Stiles and I. She knows she'll get to Stiles and he'll look at me with the same puppy dog eyes as Nia's and I'll instanly fucking cave to his demands which will be hers.
"But there's a pack of alpha's in this hospital that want me dead. So I'll help you, but only when I'm out of here and safe. Only then." She says and I instantly charge for her.
"Derek wait." Scott says pushing me back. "She was trying to get out!" I shout angrily at her. "I was trying to keep from getting killed. You can't blame me for that." Jennifer argues.
"If you wanna show you're one of the good guys, then heal her." Stiles says pointing to Cora. "Not until I'm safe." She says maintaining eye contact with me whilst I glare at her.
Cora can wait till we get out of here. I know she can hold off until then. But Nia, she's a human and a fucking idiot. I have no clue where she is and we're in the middle of a storm. She could get pneumonia or something and die before Jennifer can actually sacrifice her.
"I'd like to volunteer a different method of persuasion. Let's torture her." Peter says and I actually agree with him. "Works for me." I say glaring at her but Scott pushes me back a bit.
Scott's mom talks over the speaker and I sigh. A joke.
"He's not gonna hurt her!" Jennifer says. "Shut up!" I shout at her. "He won't." She adds. "Scott you know why." She says focusing solemnly on him.
"What does she mean?" I ask turning to Scott as Peter glares at Jennifer. When Scott doesn't say anything Jennifer sighs. "You're not the only one he wants in his pack." She says. "Deucalion doesn't just want an alpha pack. He wants perfection. That means adding the rarest alphas to his pack." Jennifer says.
"A true alpha." He says and we all look at him whilst he looks at Jennifer. "What's that?" Stiles asks. "The kind that doesn't have to steal his power from another. One that can rise by the force of his own will." He says and I look at Scott."It doesn't matter." He says.
"We still need to get her out of here." He says turning to Jennifer who seemed to happy. "Scott your mom-" "my mom said there was one more ambulance coming in twenty minutes. I don't think we've been here that long." Scott says cutting Stiles off.
"So if we can get down to the garage, get to the last ambulance, we can get out of here." Scott says quickly. "The twins aren't gonna let us just walk out." Peter says. "I'll distract them." Scott says getting ready. "I'll help." I say nodding at Scott.
"Um, sorry, but I'm not not going anywhere without you, Derek." Jennifer says making everything more difficult. I fucking hate her. The second I know where Nia is and Cora is okay, I'm gonna fucking kill her
"I'll do it. But I'd prefer to be out there with an advantage." Peter says looking at me. "An advantage like what? You mean like a weapon?" Stiles asks. "Something better than a baseball bat." Peter says looking at Scott. We then rummaging around for something we can use.
Peter took the shot of Epinephrine in his chest and him and Scott went to fight the twins.
I carefully picked Cora up and carried carried her out of there with Jennifer hiding behind me and Stiles opens the doors for me.
"Its still here!" Stiles shouts when we see the ambulance. We rush towards it and Stiles opens the doors. I place Cora on the bed and Stiles sits beside her.
"Derek over here." Jennifer says and I roll my eyes at Stiles. "Watch her." I say pointing at Cora.
I find Jennifer stood staring at a body. You're joking.
"Julia." Kali calls out. Once Kali was in eye view of us she starts swinging the key around her finger. There goes that plan."It is you." She says stopping and looking at both of us. Jennifer stands behind me.
"You can't beat her on your own." Jennifer whispers. "That's why we're gonna run." I say and follow her into the elevator.
The lights flicker and suddenly the elevator stops and the lights turn out. You're joking.
I pry open the elevator doors to see we're stuck inbetween two floors. I walk back into thr middle of the elevator and look up at the service hatch.
"If you're thinking service hatch, they bolt from the outside, you'd have to break it. All you'd end up doing is creating a lot of noise, telling them exactly where we are." She says and I roll my eyes.
"Kali already knows." I argue still looking up at the service hatch. "Not necessarily. She saw that we got in, but she might not know we didn't get out." She says.
"Yeah, well if I get through we can go to another floor." I say focusing on ways im gonna be able to break that service hatch. "Or you'd end up fighting them alone in an elevator shaft. They'll rip my head off before you even have a chance to land a punch." She says and I roll my eyes. I hate her.
I start texting Scott telling him to turn on the generator. I then stay standing there staring at my phone.
"Look. I can tell you everything you wanna hear but it's not true Derek." Jennifer says and I stare at the doors just magically waiting for them to open.
"Im stuck in an elevator with you. You might wanna be careful with your words. Stiles isn't here to stop me from ripping you apart this time." I say refusing to look at her.
"But then Cora, Nia and the Sheriff will die. That's a promise. How do you think Stiles will feel about that? What about Scott? What do you recon will hurt more? Loss of yet another family member or losing some you love who you could've said." She whispers from behind me, this time causing me to growl in anger.
"Cora and Nia will not die. Neither will the Sheriff. Do you hear me?" I ask and turning to her. "Oh I hear you loud and clear, it's just only Cora will be thankful right?" She asks. She's walking on thin ice. Very thin ice.
"Nia's not talking to you. She won't forgive you Derek." She says and I fold my arms over my chest and turn back to face the elevator doors.
"I don't care if she doesn't forgive me, as long as she's alive, she can be as angry as she wants with me." I say and she laughs softly. "You can't continue to stand outside her window." She argues and I roll my eyes. "I can and I will. You have no clue why I do it and never will. I need to make sure she's okay." I bite back.
"Don't you get that Derek? You are acting like you love her. She doesn't love you and that's why she has to die. She's causing a conflict in our relationship." She says and I chuckle. "We aren't together! We never have been. I was happy with Nia, I have no idea why I slept with you." I yell at her.
"Because you love me." She says and I snap. I actually snap. I grab her throat and hold her against her throat up against the wall of the elevator and squeeze it.
"You're only alive right now because Stiles looks like his sister and I can't look into his sad eyes without looking into hers. I need you to save Cora and then I'm gonna kill you and then I'm gonna save Nia and her dad. Okay? You're needed to save Cora's life and maybe if you tell me where Nia is I'll kill you nicely but until then. Don't try and get me to change my opinion. I say to her firmly.
"Cora and Nia. That's all I need you for. I know Cora is strong enough to hold on and that's why with every fibre of my body is worried about a human, who's tied up because of jealousy. " I say and she glares down at me.
"So don't think I won't kill you, because I will. Maybe I need you to save Cora, maybe I don't. All I do know is that I want to kill you and I would if I didn't think there would be any consequences for my actions. So don't try and play me about. I'm not in the mood for it and unless you wanna get ripped apart, I suggest you shut up." I say letting go of her and turning back to the door.
I then listen to her talk for ages and just ignore her, not caring. Only when she started talking about Paige did I listen.
The power comes back on and Jennifer starts begging me to look at her. I don't understand what the hell she wants. She's pissing me off.
I see her face in the reflection of the elevator doors and everything goes dark as she screeches.
****
I wake up with a twinge of pain in my face. I open my eyes to a fist. Then those soppy brown eyes. Nia? I sit up and notice it was Stiles and groan.
"Where is she?" I ask when I notice Jennifer was gone. "Jennifer? Gone with Scott's mom" Stiles says as he tries to regulate his breathing. "She took her?" I ask and he nods.
"Yeah. If that's not enough of a kick to thr balls, Scott left with Deucalion. So we gotta get you out of here. The police are coming right now, and we gotta get you the hell out of here." Stiles says helping me up. "Whoa. What about Cora?" I ask and he tells me where Issac has her.
"You need to get out of here Derek." Stiles says and I nod. "Find them. Please find Nia." He says and I nod. Oh how the times change.
Nia used to be the one asking me to find Stiles, but now it's opposite.
