Changing Patterns

• 39 •

The vampire stumbled forward, his arms being caught by Aiden who pressed one hand into the man's back. He hissed and tried to twist free, managing the change and landing his own heel to Aiden's chest before Scott tackled the man off and both Ethan and him pinned the vampire to the floor. The vampire hissed again struggling against Scott as the wolf panted holding his chest and arms to the floor, aiden sat on his lower back and held his legs down with a growl.

    "Look man, we don't want to hurt you, so please just stop." Scott mutters hopefully.

    "We will if we have too." Derek growls back as he lowers into a crouch before the three men on the floor.

    "No, we won't Derek. That's not how we do things." The true alpha tries with the other, his eyes flashing not even getting a glance from Derek. Not till the other alpha snapped his response.

    "We have never done things without stiles before Scott. You of all people should know what it feels like to be terrified he's gone, fucking left the house to give himself up Scott." Derek's voice is almost a growl as he retorts against Scott's claim.

    "Of course I'm scared Derek. He's my brother, but we also have to keep our heads and keep our morals."  Derek bows his head in understanding but still shakes it at the younger alpha.

    "You think they're being good to stiles. They have him Scott." The man let's off a whisper of a whine, his eyes showing the implied sound.

    "We don't have him." The vampire grouched beneath the conversation with a huff. "We tracked his scent out here same as you."

    "We?" Scott perked first, Derek's ears quickly robbed before two hands slipped under his armpits and pulled him back, tumbling in a backwards summersault that eventually ends with a woman  landing her foot to Derek's chest. He growls at her earning a quick grin back and wink along.

    "Yes, we." The woman snapped down at Derek with her teeth as the leader spoke, slowly creeping out of the shadows.

    Allison flicked her head up toward the man, then catching a scent, one she immediately connected to the man. It's wasn't strong, but it was intriguing, and if egged her to move toward him, to step forward. She did, once, before Cora's hand wrapped around her wrist. The werewolf shook her head with a pinched brow and pleading eyes.

    "Oh, not to worry." King speaks up. "It's only natural she would want to stay with her creator." The vampire still pinned laughed. "Samual get up." He demands and is quickly met with response. The brunette at his side in seconds. "And ceria don't play with the food." The blonde wiped her head back and rolled her eyes meeting on the other side of the leading vampire. Her mate came at just the moment, practically colliding with her as she stopped in front of him, instead his arm wrapped around the woman's back. The four gave sharp smiles and stared back at the regrouping pack of wolves.

    "Ones missing..." Lydia says softly as her hand grips hold of Aiden's bicep as he pulled close to the others.

    Allison though kept her eyes trained on the vampires before her, even as Derek stepped before her path. The leader rolled his head with a commanding hiss, clearly pushed at the comment. Cora stepped closer and grabbed hold of her girlfriends arm tighter, tangling hers with the woman's and continually glancing at her. Allison's head cocked to the side, brow pinching as her eyes brighten with a deeper red color. Her nose seemingly twitched as she took another interested step forward.

    "Stiles," she whispers to Derek. "I smell stiles, are they lying?" She asks the man. Derek's eyes are on her suddenly, and then his head shakes.  They aren't, they don't have stiles. Allison meets kings eyes again and waits a moment before understanding, then something hits king in the back, and in a flurry of blur two vampires fight to be on top.

The two blur a moment and then slow, the new vampires hand raised with his claws sharp, then they are a blur again. King stands holding the new vampires throat, where the vampire then swings his body to topple the two again. They hit a tree splintering the trunk and causing it to collapse. Seconds later they are back in the clearing, king waves a hand for his vampires to attack, they take a step and Stiles's voice echos through the the clearing. The sound bouncing off trees and ears and falling back to stiles where he stands with bright eyes staring down the three vampires in waiting.

"Don't move." We're his words. And they didn't, nor would that have dared to, knowing the extent of his abilities, and that the new vampire, Kail, had definitely taught to boy to do what he wants.
