Ch. 37 - THE DARK MOON

"We didn't come here to drink." Aurora said before dropping one of the bullets she found on the loft floor into a shot glass.

"Severo hates this music. Me? I've always loved the music of youth. This especially, it has a savage energy." Araya said, looking down at whatever she was doing making Aurora roll her eyes. "We're here Derek Hale." Aurora said making Araya look at her and smile, "Is that so?" Araya asked

"We know you have him. We've heard you can be bought." Lydia said and Stiles put stacks of cash on the desk, "That's fifty thousand for Derek." He said making Araya chuckle.

"Now, where does a teenage boy get money like this? Japanese mafia?" She asked and people around them started cocking their guns making Lydia and Stiles jump and look around while Aurora just sat back, crossing her arms looking at Araya with raised eyebrows. "Not smart to come alone." Araya said making Aurora squint at her, "What makes you think we're alone?" She asked.

Araya's face fell into a scowl, "You brought a wolf into my home?" She asked and Stiles smirked, "We brought an alpha."

"My friends... I don't think you're aware of your poor timing. Do you know what the dark moon is?" She asked and Aurora sighed, "The part of the lunar phase when the moon is least visible in the sky." She answered and Araya nodded, "But do you know its meaning?" She asked.

"Some people say it's a time of reflection of grief." Lydia said and Araya chuckled, "Grief and loss, mija. I wonder why, when you and your friends have suffered so much loss, you would risk it again for someone like Derek Hale." She said making Aurora shrug slightly, "I would like to have my boyfriend back."

"Nadie en la cantina. Front door clear, south clear." Someone said over the radio. "North? Norte?" Severo asked but got no response, "Dónde está el norte?"

"Stiles, take ten off the table." Scott's voice came through the radio making Aurora smirk while Stiles took away a stack of cash, "Maybe you should just take the deal." Aurora said. "While I am keen to follow the warning of a banshee I'm going to have to decline." Araya said making Stiles sigh.

"Awww, come on. Just give us Derek. You don't want him anyway! Haven't you noticed what a downer he is? No sense of humor, poor coversation list. Honestly, I don't know how Aurora can date the guy." Stiles said and Aurora nodded slightly, "Just, come on. Take the money."

"Severo? Show them how the Calaveras negotiate." Araya said and Aurora suddenly flicked her hand out making a man, who held a mistletoe syringe in his hand, go flying back. "For a group of experienced hunters, I would have thought you'd be more clever than sneaking up with a syringe of mistletoe." Aurora said before standing up.

"He's awake! Guys, he's awake!" Kira called out making everyone run over as Scott woke up, "Scott, you okay?" Stiles asked and Scott nodded slightly. "Yeah..." He said as Kira and Stiles helped him up, "They don't have him. They don't have Derek." He said and Aurora sighed softly.

"We know... But right now, they've got Lydia." She said making him look at her wide eyed, "Lydia? What do they want with Lydia?" He asked and she just shrugged. He instantly got up and started looking around the room and the door.

"We already looked for a way out. I think a lot of people have." Aurora said and Malia sighed, "I say, when that door opens again, we take out whoever's standing in the way and run for it." She said making them look at her.

"What about Lydia?" Kira asked and Malia looked at her confused, "What about her?" She asked and Aurora sighed softly. "We can't leave without her." She said and Malia looked at her crazy, "Why not?" She asked and Stiles stepped forward
