Blood Traitor//Derek Hale

Reunions

"Wait, so you're telling me that the two idiots kidnapped Jackson, he's got a restraining order against them and not even week after that they managed to violate it, and now they are in a detention together along with your idiot?"

"Yep, that pretty much sums it up."

"How long was I gone?!" Whisper yelled Luke, sitting in a old train which has become Derek's new living space.

"About ten days."

"Damn. Well, since we'll be alone for a while, how about-"

"DEREK!" They heard Stiles' voice.

"Never mind." The two saw Scott and Stiles dragging obviously injured Erica between them.

"Hold her up." Said Derek and jumped into action.

"Is she dying?"

"She might, I - which is why this is gonna hurt." Luke cringed at the sound of a bone snapping .

"You broke her arm!"

"It'll trigger the healing process. I still gotta get the venom out. This is where it's really gonna hurt."

"You know who it is."

"Jackson."

"You just wanted Erica to confirm it, didn't you? I'm gonna help you stop him. As part of your pack. If you want me in, fine. But we'll do it on one condition. We're gonna catch him, not kill him." Scott said and Derek let out an annoyed growl.

"And?"

"And we do it my way."

"And what exactly are you planning to do, Scott?" Asked Luke. Scott and Stiles turned to him, startled expressions on their faces.

"Wha- Where did you come from?!"

"I've been here the whole time, pay attention."

"Um... I think Deaton can help us."

"Oh great, this is gonna be awkward."

-Time skip-

"What's he doing here?" Growled Scott when he saw Isaac waiting for them in front of the clinic.

"I need him." Said Derek simply.

"I don't trust him."

"Yeah, well, he doesn't trust you either." Sasses back Isaac.

"You know what? And Derek really doesn't care. Now where's the vet? Is he gonna help us or not?"

"That depends. Your friend, Jackson. Are we planning to kill him or save him?" Luke clenched his fists as he stood, well, morel like hid, behind a wall.

"Kill him."

"Save him!" Said Scott and glared at Derek. But Derek wasn't looking at him, he was looking at Luke. The alpha's eyes encouraging the hybrid to step into view. To say that Luke was panicking would be an understatement.

"Is someone else there?" Asked Deaton and walked over to them, looked around the corner and froze.

"Uh... hi." Said Luke, avoiding Deaton's gaze. "I'm sorry I made you worry. I was just stressed and I shouldn't have take it out on you-!" Luke was interrupted by Deaton pulling him into a hug.

"Don't ever make me this worried again. Please, I thought she killed you." Luke bit his lip at the sudden wave of emotions that hit him and he buried his face in Deaton's shoulder.

"Well, we've got a kanima to catch, don't we." Smiled Luke when he collected himself.

"Right. Watch what you touch." Deaton said to the werewolves and headed deeper inside the clinic.

"So, what are you? Some kind of witch?" Asked sceptic Isaac.

"No, I'm a veterinarian. Unfortunately, I don't see anything here that's going to be an effective defense against a paralytic toxin."

"We're open to suggestions."

"What about an effective offense?"

"We already tried. I nearly took its head off. And Argent emptied an entire clip into it. The thing just gets back up." Sighed Derek.

"Has it shown any weaknesses?"

"It can't swim, right?" Asked Luke and turned to Derek, who gave him a confirmation.

"Does that go for Jackson as well?"

"No. He's the captain of the swim team." Said Scott.

"Essentially, you're trying to catch two people. A puppet - and a puppeteer. One killed the husband, but the other had to take care of the wife. Do we know why?"

"I don't think Jackson could do it. His mother died pregnant too, and she was maybe murdered. I think he couldn't let the same thing happen to someone else."

"How do you know it's not part of the rules? The kanima kills murderers. If Jackson kills the wife, then the baby dies too." Pointed out Luke.

"Does that mean your father was a murderer?" Scott turned to Isaac with raised eyebrows.

"Wouldn't surprise me if he was."

"Hold on. The book says they're bonded, right? What if the fear of water isn't coming from Jackson, but from the person controlling him? What if something that affects the kanima also affects its master?"

"Meaning what?"

"Meaning we can catch them. Both of them." SmiledScott.

Yea I'm still alive! Can you guys do me a favor and scream at me in the comments to finally finish this thing so I can move on? Thank you!! <3
