A Twist of Fate -Derek Hale (Teen Wolf)

Season Three: The Fox and the Wolf

So, I got a call from the Sheriff to tell me to meet him at the station. Can you guess where I am?"

Yep, the station.

I walk into it and see Derek and Argent out of their cages- I means cells. They're standing at the front desk, collecting their things.

I try to be as quiet as possible and and run up to Derek, jumping on his back.

"Guess who?" I ask.

"Scott." Derek says.

I jump down and punch him on his arm.

"Why the hell would Scott be jumping on your bac- I don't wanna know."

Derek smiles and leans down, capturing my lips with his. It's cut short when we hear someone clearing their throat. Someone being Argent.

Derek pulls away and rolls his eyes. I go and stand between him in Argent as Parrish gives them their belongings.

Deputy Parrish pulls out a taser thing that's Argents.

"Sorry, but I can't let you walk out with this." He says. "It's way above the legal limit."

"I only use it for hunting." Argent says.

Derek and I give him a look.

"Ya, well I'm pretty sure you can use it to jump start a 747."

"This property belongs to me and the charges were dropped...Although I'm not exactly sure who's responsible for that." Argent finishes, looking at Derek.

"I am." Sheriff says, coming into view. "I'll take care of this Parrish."

"Sheriff, I'm not kidding. This thing is fifty watts from being a light saber."

Derek gives Argent another look while Argent tries to act casual.

"I said I'll take care of it." Sheriff repeats.

We follow him into his office and he stands behind his desk. The three of us listen to what he has to say.

"A specialist I saw in LA told me a thing that every doctor says when he's trying to avoid a lawsuit. We can't say for sure and than I spoke with Melissa." Go momma! "These are brain scans," he shows us. "My wife's and Stiles." He hands them to Argent. "I knew they were similar, but those are the same. Exactly the same."

Derek, who is to my left, speaks,

"I'm guessing this isn't possible."

"Not even remotely."

"The trickster is still playing tricks." Argent says.

"But why this trick." I ask.

"When I was in the army," Sheriff starts. "An officer told me 'If you wanna defeat your enemy, you don't take away their courage. You take away their hope'."

"You don't look like a man that gives up hope easily." Argent states.

"But Stiles might. If this thing inside him, if it's using his mothers disease as some kind of physiological trick, than this isn't a fight for his body. It's also a fight for his mind, right?"

"It only left people severely injured." Argent says.

"And others severely dead." Derek adds.

"That's why I need the two of you. I need people who are experienced in this kind of thing."

Derek and Argent share a look.

"I need you to help me stop him." Sheriff ends.

"And by stop him, you mean trap him." I translate.
