*Sadie’s pov*
My mom had just dropped me off at Stiles house; we were going on a double date with Kennedy and Jake. Kennedy had asked me and with everything going on, Stiles and I could use a night away from supernatural things. I was also staying the night since we had to get up and go to a meet tomorrow, so I had a few extra clothes and my uniform. I was walking up to the door when Mr.S was coming out and with the way he was dressed I knew he was heading into work, even though it was about 6pm,”Oh! Hey Sadie, I didn’t know you were coming over.” He said with a smile. “Yeah, Stiles and I have a double date. But I was also gonna stay the night since we have the track meet at the other school tomorrow “I said with a smile. “That’s nice, I didn’t know about your guys date. Stiles doesn't tell me anything unless I beat it out of him.”He said and I laughed. “Well, I have to get into work, Tell Stiles I said to be careful driving.”He said and I nodded. He walked to his car and before he got in he looked at me,”Oh! And you look beautiful Sadie.”He said, I smiled, “Thank you Mr.S.” he nodded and climbed in his car and I waved and walked inside the house. I climbed the stairs and headed to Stiles room. I opened his door and I saw him playing a video game,”Hey Babe, are you ready?” I asked him as I tossed my bag on his bed. “Ready for what?” he asked with his eyes still on his game. “For our double date with Kennedy and Jake.” I said. “That’s tonight?” he asked with his eyes on the game still. “Stiles!” I said. ”What?”He asked still looking at the game. I rolled my eyes and I walked over and took the remote from his hands and paused the game. “Hey!”He shouted and stood up but then he stopped and just stared me up and down. “Stiles?” I said and he snapped his head up,”Yeah?” he said looking into my eyes. “The double date? With Kennedy and Jake.” I said. “Oh, yeah. I’ll get ready, sorry babe.” He said and he kissed my cheek and walked to his draws and then went to his closet and carried his clothes into the bathroom and shut the door.  I saved his game and then turned it off and took as seat on his computer chair as I waited for him. My phone beeped and I pulled it out to see it was a text from Kennedy,

Kennedy!<3- Jake just picked me up, see you guys at the Mini golf place! Can’t wait! :D
Sadiekins!- Stiles is almost ready and I know right, I can’t wait either! :D

I sent that and Stiles bathroom door opened and he walked out dressed and ready to go. “Ready to go?” I asked as I stood up from the chair and walked up to him. He smiled,”Yeah, let’s go.” He said as he grabbed his keys, wallet, and his phone. We walked out of his room and down the stairs and out of the house. I walked over to his jeep as he locked his front door. “Babe, unlock the car.” I said and Stiles shook his head, “No, I’m gonna open it for you.” He said as he walked over. “You don’t have to.” I said. He smiled, “This is a date; of course I’m gonna open the door for you.” He said as he unlocked the car and opened my door. I smiled, “Thank you.” I said and he nodded and shut the door and jogged to his side and climbed into the car. He looked over at me, “You look beautiful by the way.” He said. I blushed,”Yeah, I kinda got that when you stared at me earlier.” I said and Stiles laughed and started his car up and pulled out of the driveway.  We made small talk and joked around as we drove to the mini golf place. We got their and hopped out, “Do you see them?” I asked Stiles. “No, they might be inside though.” He said and he laced his hand in mine and we walked through the parking lot and into the little office. “Sadie, Stiles, over here!”We heard someone say and I smiled and let go of Stiles hand when I saw Kennedy. “Hey!”I said and gave Kennedy a quick hug. “Hey.”She said and then I gave Jake a hug and Stiles gave Kennedy a hug and Jake and Stiles did a little bro hand shake. Stiles and Jake walked up to the counter to pay and Kennedy and I waited for them and we talked and caught up. The boys walked back over and handed each of us a golf club and a ball and we headed out to the first hole.  “Alright, who wants to go first?” Jake asked, “I’ll go and then Stiles can and then Jake and then Kennedy.” I said and they nodded.  “Alright babe, show us how it’s done.” Stiles said and I sent a wink his way and he and Jake laughed as Kennedy just smile. I hit it and it just missed the hole, so I walked over and knocked it in. Stiles went up next and got a hole in one, “Good job Stiles!” I said and he smiled and stood next to me after he had gotten his ball. Jake went up and placed his ball down and he concentrated and then perfectly hit the ball in the hole. “Nice!”Stiles said and gave him a high five,”Did I forget to mention I’m on the school’s golf team?” Jake asked. And we laughed, “I think that slipped your mind Jake.”I said and he laughed. Kennedy placed her ball down and she lined up the shot and then she went to hit the ball and completely missed it. “Ah, damn. I’m really no good at this.” She said but there was something about the way she did it that reminded me of her sister and then it clicked, Lydia gave her the Martin playbook. “I could help you, if you want.”Jake offered and Kennedy bit her lip, “Really? I wouldn't want to be a bother.” She said and I held in my laugh. “You won’t, I want to.” He said and he walked over to her.  He showed her a few pointers and how to hold the club, “Will you help me?”She said and He nodded and gently moved her arm back and he helped her hit the ball and it slowly rolled into the hole. “That was good.”Jake said and Kennedy looked back at him,”Yeah, it was all thanks to you.” She said and Jake blushed and Headed to the next hole. Stiles and Jake walked ahead of us girls to the next hole. “So, I see your sister taught you a few things from the Martin playbook.” I whispered and Kennedy glanced at me, “I have no clue what you are talking about.” She said and I laughed, “We both know you’re a great mini golf player. But don’t worry; your secret is safe with me.” I said to her and I winked and walked to the boys who were at the hole waiting. We all went and when it got to Kennedy’s turn again she went and got a hole in one. Stiles and I clapped and cheered, “That was perfect form.” Jake said and Kennedy blushed as Stiles and I raised our eyebrows at Jake, “I mean, I wasn't looking at your form- not that I wouldn't want to. I just um, I just mean, that your golfing form was great.” Jake said awkwardly. “Okay…Next hole.”Stiles said and we moved on. We played all the way to the last hole and we joked around and just talked and had a fun time.  We sat down at the little tables they had where they had a few food/concession stands. Kennedy and Jake were sat across from Stiles and I. Kennedy sitting across from me and Jake across from Stiles.  “Are you guy’s hungry?” Stiles asked. “I’m in the mood for ice cream.” I said. “Ooo, yeah ice cream.” Kennedy said. “You want some Ice cream?” Stiles asked Jake and he nodded. “What flavors, Stiles and I will go get it.” I said and went to get up but Kennedy gave me a look that begged me not to leave her. “Or I’ll stay and Stiles could get them.” I said. Jake must have seen Kennedy give me that look, I think even Stiles. “I’ll go too.”Jake said and we gave them our flavors and they went to stand in line and order. “Okay, what is wrong with you?” I asked her and she sighed and put her face in her hands, “I don’t know, I just can’t be alone with him.”She said. I looked at her confused, “Why not? Haven’t you guy’s been on dates alone?” I asked her and she peaked her eyes out from behind her fingers and shook her head, “No.” she mumbled. “What about at winter formal?” I asked. She sighed, “That was the last time and we weren’t alone for long but when we were…” she stopped. “Did he hurt you?” I asked quietly. “No! No, of course not. It’s just that the last time we were alone you and my sister were almost killed…and I don’t know, I guess I just feel like if we were alone, something bad would happen again.” She said quietly.  I sighed and I felt really guilty that I couldn't tell her what has been happening but it was to protect her, Lydia and I didn’t want her involved in this at all. “Kennedy what happened that night isn't your fault at all. Just because you were alone with Jake doesn't mean something bad is going to happen. Jake makes you happy and you too are so adorable together. Don’t let one night change your life, Lyds and I didn’t let that traumatic night stop us from living our lives and it shouldn't stop you either.” I said and she smiled, “Thanks Sadie, I really needed to hear that.” She said and I smiled, “Anytime.” I said and we changed the subject and talked and laughed as we waited for the boys.

*Stiles pov*
Jake had sighed for about the 7th time since we've been in line, which has only been like 10 minutes.  He sighed again and I looked at him, “Okay, talk now. Because if you sigh one more time, I’m gonna hit you.” I said and he nodded and glanced at Kennedy and Sadie, “I don’t think she likes me.” He said and looked back at me. I furrowed my eyebrows, “Who, Kennedy?” I asked and he nodded. “Of course she does! She is totally into you man.” I said. “No she isn't, she doesn't even want to be left alone with me.” He said. “She could just scared to be alone with you, girls are weird like that.” I said and we stepped up to the counter and ordered. We split the bill and they gave us our order, “Have you asked her to be your girlfriend?” I asked him. “No, should I?” he asked and I nodded,”Definitely, Don’t wait forever like I did.” I said and he nodded. “Alright, thanks man.” He said and I nodded. We walked up to the girls and took our seats and handed them there ice cream. We all ate and joked around and when Sadie was telling a story to Jake and Kennedy I wiped my ice cream on her cheek. She stopped talking and Kennedy giggled while Jake smiled at Kennedy’s giggle. “You did not just do that.” Sadie said but she remained looking at Kennedy and Jake. I chuckled and dipped my finger in my ice cream and wiped it on her cheek again, “I did and I did it again.” I said with a smile and she looked at me, “Get it off.” She said. I smirked,” gladly” I said and before she could say something I leaned forward and licked it off her cheek. “Ew! Stiles.” She squealed out and Kennedy, Jake and I laughed. She placed her cheek on my shoulder and wiped off my saliva.

*Sadie’s pov*
We had finished our ice cream and we just spent the next hour and a half talking and joking around. Stiles looked at the clock, “We should probably head home, we have to get up early for the track meet.”Stiles said and I nodded. We all stood up and threw out our trash and then walked inside the little office and we each returned our ball and golf club. Stiles and I walked Jake and Kennedy to Jake’s car. “Bye, this was so fun. We should definitely do it again!”Kennedy said and I nodded, “Definitely” I said and I gave her a hug and then gave Jake one. Stiles gave Kennedy a hug and then did a little bro shake like before to Jake. “Jake has something to ask you Kennedy!”Stiles said and he pushed Jake towards her. “Oh, uh, yeah.” Jake said and he took a deep breath and looked Kennedy in the eyes, “Kennedy, will you be my girlfriend?”He asked. Kennedy smiled and nodded, “Yes, of course I’ll be your girlfriend.” She said and,”Awww!” I said causing them to look at me. “Sorry, sorry, that was supposed to be said in my head.” I said and Jake and Stiles laughed while Kennedy rolled her eyes with a smile. We said bye again and we left the new couple and hopped into Stiles jeep and headed to Stiles house.  The car ride was silent but a relaxing comfortable silence. He pulled into his drive way and his dad still wasn't home which wasn't really surprising, with all these weird deaths he was always there trying to solve them.  We hopped out of the car and Stiles unlocked his front door and we walked inside. He locked the door behind us and Stiles and I walked up to his room. Stiles walked into his room and kicked off his shoes and pulled off his socks and collapsed onto his bed on his back. I took off my sandals and my jewelry and I climbed onto Stiles bed. I sat down on his hips and he opened his eyes and looked at me, I smiled, “Did you have fun?” I asked and he smiled, “Yes I did. Jake’s a pretty cool guy.” He said and he leaned up on his elbows.  I nodded and I glanced into his eyes and I looked down at his plaid button up shirt and I started to slowly un-button it. Stiles watched me carefully as I did so and when I slowly slid it off; Stiles sat up and removed it from his arms. He still had on his under shirt and he sat there and searched my eyes before he leaned closer and connected our lips. The kiss was slow and gentle at first before I placed my hands on his cheeks and I deepened the kiss. Without breaking the kiss I stood up on my knees to move closer to him but Stiles used this opportunity to flip us and my back hit his bed and I let out a giggle and Stiles smiled and leaned down and started to kiss me again. His tongue licked my bottom lip and I opened my mouth and our tongues fought for dominance. He won as always and I just grabbed his hips and brought him closer to me. Stiles pulled away, “You taste like chocolate ice cream.” He whispered out of breath. “You taste like mint chocolate chip.” I said and I pulled him back into a kiss.  Stiles gently placed his hand on the exposed skin on my hip and his hand felt so warm against my skin. He inched his hand up further and further until his thumb gently rubbed under my bra. I pulled at the bottom hem of his shirt and Stiles leaned up and stopped kissing me. I pulled off his shirt and tossed it off the bed on to the floor; I grabbed the bottom of my shirt and pulled it off and tossed it on the floor next to his as Stiles watched with wide eyes. Stiles gulped and looked me over before he looked back into my eyes, “You look so beautiful.” He whispered and I smiled before I grabbed him by the neck and pulled him down to kiss me again. Our hands explored each other’s exposed skin as we continued to make out.

After a couple minutes Stiles hand went to my belt and started to undo it while still kissing me. He tried to tug them off by his self but it didn’t work so I let go of his neck and I slid them off and then kicked them off the rest of the way. Stiles pulled back breathing heavily and he un-buckled his jeans and slid them off. I admired him while he admired me. He looked me in the eyes and I bit my lip and he shook his head and he kissed me again. This kiss was full of passion, love, and lust. Our mouths worked feverishly together and all I wanted was him. I knew I was ready and I knew I wanted my first time to be with him. So I grabbed the band of his boxers and went to pull them down but he pulled away, “Wait, wait.” He said and he took a few deep breaths. He looked me in the eyes, “We don’t have to do this. We can wait, I wanna make sure you’re a 100% ready, so if you’re not ready then we can stop right here.” He said to me as his eyes shifted between mine. “I’m ready.” I said as I looked into his eyes. Lust, love, and excitement flashed in his eyes before they disappeared and worry and love was left. “Are you sure?” He asked me. I smiled and I reached my hands up and I placed them on each side of his face, “Yes I’m sure. I love you and I wouldn’t want my first time to be with anybody else.” I said and Stiles smiled, “I love you 2 and I feel the exact same way.” He said and then he leaned over and opened his side table draw and he grabbed something and I knew it was a condom, he closed the draw. I bit my lip in nervousness and Stiles smiled at me, he leaned down and he gave me a quick kiss and pulled away. He looked into my eyes, “If you want to stop at anytime, just say the word and will stop.” He said and I could see the nervousness in his eyes too.  I gulped and nodded. “I love you.” He said, I smiled,” I love you too.” I said, and that night I lost my virginity to the boy that I will forever be in love with…

~The next morning; School bus.

Sadie’s outfit- polyvore.com/outfit/set?id=135347617

~Boyd and Isaac; front of the bus.
“Back to your seat!” Coach shouts to Caleb. “Stop thinking about it, man.”Isaac said to Boyd. “Like, you're not thinking about it too.”Boyd said to Isaac. “Okay, Will both stop thinking about it.”Isaac said. “I can't.”Boyd said. “Well, there's nothing you can do about it either.”Isaac said to him. “You sure about that?”Boyd said as he glanced back at Ethan who was sitting next to Danny.

~Ethan and Danny; Middle of the bus.
“Everything okay?” Danny asked Ethan. “Yeah. Why?” Ethan asked him skeptical. “You checked your phone three times in the last five minutes.” Danny said and Ethan relaxed, “Just waiting for a message.” He said. “Anything important?”Danny asked and Ethan smiled, “No. Nothing.” He said and put his phone away.

*Stiles’s pov*
”Hey, Yo, Scotty? Still with me?” I asked as I tapped him. “Yeah, sorry. Uh, what's the word?”  Scott said. "Anachronism.” I said. “Something that exists out of its normal time.”Scott said. “Nice. Okay, next word "incongruous.” I said. “Um, can you use it in a sentence?” Scott asked. “Yes. Yes, I can. It's completely incongruous that we're sitting on a bus right now, on our way to some stupid cross-country meet after what just happened.”I said and my mind immediately flashed to what Sadie and I did last night. I leaned up so I could see the seat in front of us and I looked over, Sadie was curled up into a little ball fast asleep and I smiled. Last night was amazing and I needed to tell her that, we hadn't got to talk about it this morning and I wanted to make sure she was okay. I was snapped out of my thoughts by Scott, “incongruous. Out of place, ridiculous, absurd.”Scott said. “Perfect. Um, Okay, next word. Um, Darach. Darach, it's a noun.”I started but Scott gave me a look and I groaned, “We have to talk about it sometime, okay? And we're gonna be stuck in this thing for, like, five hours, so why not?”I said. “Next word.” He said and I sighed, “Intransigent.” I said. “Intransigent. Stubborn, obstinate.”Scott said and I nodded. Scott made a noise and then grabbed his side in pain,”Oh buddy, you okay? We shouldn't have come. I knew it. We shouldn't have come.”I said. “We had to. There's safety in numbers.”Scott groaned out. “Yeah, well, there's also death in numbers, okay? It's called a massacre or bloodbath, carnage, slaughter, butchery-“ I said and he gave me a look and then groaned,” that's it alright, Scott, I'm telling coach that-“ I started but he cut me off, “No. No, no, no. I'm alright.” Scott said. “Why don’t you ask Sadie for help, you know she will.” I said and he shook his head being his stubborn self. “Well, you don't look alright.” I said and I went to look at it but he moved away, “Would you just let me see it?” I asked. “I'm okay.” He said and I rolled my eyes, “Just let me see it, okay?” I asked and he nodded, “Okay.” He said and he pulled up his shirt so I could see. “Oh, dude-“I started and he cut me off again,” I know it's bad, but it's because they're from an Alpha. It'll take longer to heal.”Scott said but I was still worried, “How come Boyd and Isaac are fine then?”I asked. He just turned away from me and looked out the window. “I can't believe he's dead. I can't believe Derek's dead.” He muttered and I sighed…

~Allison argent’s car.
“Am I getting too close? I'm getting way too close, aren't I?”Allison said to Lydia as she tried to keep a good amount of distance behind the bus, or what she thought was a good amount. “That depends. Are you just following the bus, or are you planning on mounting it at some point?”Lydia asked as she flipped through a magazine clearly bored. “Yeah, I should back off.” Allison said. Lydia closed the magazine, “Well, that also depends.  Do you mean the bus or the ex-boyfriend you're currently stalking?”Lydia asked. Allison sighed, “Well, after what happened last night, I'm not letting him out of my sight.”Allison said. “Hmm.”Lydia said. “And by the way, this all started when he came knocking at my door.” Allison said. Lydia looked over at her, “For what?” she asked.

*Flashback to yesterday after school.*
“I found it outside of the school, right where Isaac got Boyd and Cora to turn back.” Scott said as he showed the arrow to Allison. “How do you know it's not from the archery team?”Allison asked as she stood up from her bed. “We don't have an archery team.”Scott said. “Oh.” Allison said. “And even if we did, they probably wouldn't be using military grade armor-piercing titanium arrowheads. I looked it up “Scott said. “Maybe it's one of my father's.” Allison said. “I thought you guys had some kind of agreement where you both stay out of all this.”Scott said. “Is that why you came here? To tell me to stay out of this?” Allison asked with some attitude. “No.”Scott said. “Okay. Well, I can take care of myself.”Allison said to him. “I know. But these guys, Allison, if you didn't notice, they're pretty terrifying. Plus, they have some serious advantages, like superhuman strength.”Scott said. “You're pretty strong, and I can handle you.”Allison said. “Me?”Scott asked with a smile. “You don't think I'd have a chance against you?”Allison asked him with raised eyebrows. “I didn't say that.”Scott said as looked at her. “Maybe you didn't notice, but I'm pretty good with a bow and arrow.”Allison said. “Okay, well, what if you didn't have it? I still have super strength.”Scott said as he took a small step towards her. “I have skills and training.” She said. “I have claws.”Scott said as he took another step. “I'm smarter.”Allison said with a smile.”Well, I'm faster.”Scott said. “Prove it.”Allison said. And Scott went to grab her but she dodged it and went to hit him but he grabbed her wrist and held them and pulled her really close to him. Their faces were inches apart, “Okay, I get it. You can let go now.”Allison said and Scott listened. Allison rubbed her wrist, “I’m sorry, I –“Scott started but Allison cut him off, “Don’t-don't apologize. You're right.”She said. Scott sighed, “I was just trying –“Allison cut Scott off once more, “I got it. You made your point “She said and sat back down on her bed. Scott sighed and opened her bedroom door and then looked at her, “Allison, the twins were just messing with us. I've seen the others. I'm not telling you this because I don't think you couldn't easily kick my ass if you wanted to. I'm telling you this because they scare the hell out of me. And they should scare you too.”Scott said to her as he closed her bedroom door. He walked out of the Argent’s apartment and clicked the elevator button and when the doors opened he walked in and froze, “Going down?”Deucalion asked Scott.
“I know where they are.”Scott said as he walked into Derek’s loft. “Same building as the Argent's, we know.”Derek said. “Cora and I followed the twins.”Boyd said from his place around the table.”Then they want you to know.”Scott said. “Or, more likely, they don't care.”Peter said. Scott looked at the table to see they had blue prints, “What is this?”Scott asked. Peter looked at Scott, “Isn't it obvious? The schemers are scheming, coming up with a coup de main, better known as a pre-emptive strike.”Peter said. “You're going after them?”Scott asked. “Tomorrow. And you're gonna help us.”Derek said.
*End of Flashback.*

*Sadie’s pov*
“Two of you, back in your seats.”Coach shouted to two guys in the front. I had woken up 10 minutes ago but I hadn't opened my eyes. “Jared, again, car sick? Every time, how do you even get on the bus?” Coach asked him. “Look at me. No, don’t look at me. Look at the horizon. Keep your eyes on the horizon.” I heard coach say. “McCall, not you too.” I heard coach say and I opened my eyes to see he was looking behind me, “No, coach, I’m good.” My brother said and coach sat back down. I sat up and I ran my hand through my hair and let out a yawn.  I leaned my head on the back of the seat and I looked at Stiles and Scott, Stiles glanced down at Scott’s side,”Hey, Scott, you're bleeding again. And don't tell me that it's just taking longer to heal, okay? Because I'm pretty sure that still bleeding means not healing, like, at all.”Stiles said. I looked at Scott, “Will you please just let me help you?” I asked Scott. He glanced over my shoulder, “He’s listening.”Scott said and Stiles and I looked at Ethan. “Is he gonna do something?”Stiles asked. I shook my head,” Not in front of this many people.” I said. “Okay, well, what about the two ticking time bombs sitting right near him?”Stiles said referring to Isaac and Boyd. “No, they won't. Not here.”Scott said as he leaned up and he let out a tiny groan in pain. “Okay, well, what if they do? Are you gonna stop 'em?”Stiles asked and I know he was really referring to Scott’s state,” If I have to.”Scott said.

*Flashback to yesterday Derek’s loft.*
“They're one floor above them in the penthouse, right above Allison.” Boyd said. “So kill them first, that's the plan?”Scott asked. “They won't even see it coming.”Boyd said. “Why is the default plan always murder? Just once, can someone try to come up with something that doesn't involve killing everyone?”Scott said. Peter crossed his arms and looked at Scott, “You never get tired of being so blandly moral, do you? Not that I disagree with him.”Peter said and looked at Derek and the other two. “I do. Why do we need this kid?”Cora asked as she looked at her older brother. “This kid helped save your life.” Derek said to her and then he turned to Scott, “And you know we can't just sit back and wait for them to make the first move.” Derek said. “You can't beat a pack of alphas.”Scott said.”That's why we're going after Deucalion, just him. Cut off the head of the snake and the body dies.”Boyd says. “Only this isn't a snake, it's a hydra. And like Scott says, they're all alphas. Deucalion's still the leader.”Derek said. “Let's hope so. Because you know what happened when Hercules cut off one of the heads of the hydra?”Peter asked. “Two more grew back in its place.”Scott said. Peter looked at him with a smirk, “Somebody’s been doing their summer reading.” He said…
*End of flashback*

~Allison’s car.

*Lydia’s pov*
“So is that whole "not let them out of your sight" thing literal or more like a general rule?” I asked Allison. “Why?” she said and glanced at me. “You're running out of gas.” I said as I gestured to the close to being empty gas tank. “Ugh.” Allison said as she glanced at it. “Yeah. And I'm pretty sure that bus holds a lot more gas than this Toyota. What if we stop? Is it really that big of a deal? I mean, so we lose them. We know where they're headed.”I said. “You didn't see what happened.”Allison said. “I know who started it.” I said without thinking. “Is that what Aiden told you?”She asked me. “Aiden? Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on a second. Is that why you're inviting me on this whole little road trip thing” I asked her and then it all made since,” Oh, my gosh. You're keeping an eye on them and me.”I said. “So there's nothing going on between you two?” she asked me ignoring what I said. “I'm appalled by the insinuation.” I said. “Nothing?” she pressed, I looked at her, “Nothing.” I said and I looked out the window and thought back to a couple days ago…

*Lydia’s flashback.”
 “What do you think you're doing?” I asked Aiden as I pulled my lips away from his. “What do you mean?” he asked me confused. “I mean your hands.” I said. “They're on your waist.” He said. “I know. What am I, a nun? Put them somewhere useful.” I said to him and he smirked and placed them on my ass. “Is that better?” he asked. “Moderately.” I said and I placed my lips back onto his.
*End of Lydia’s flashback.*

*Isaac’s pov*
I sighed, “What?”Boyd asked me. “There’s a jackknifed tractor a few Miles ahead. Could miss the meet.” I said. Boyd didn’t say anything and I could feel him tense up, “Boyd?” I asked but he didn’t listen. I saw his claws come out,” Boyd?” I said again.

*Scott’s pov*
I looked at Boyd and I could feel he was thinking about doing something. I started to stand up, “What-what Scott? Where are you going?”Stiles asked me. “Boyd. He's gonna do something.”I said and Sadie and Stiles glanced at him and them me, “Okay, what? How do you know?”Stiles asked. “Look at his hands.”I said.

*Flashback to yesterday; in the elevator with Deucalion.*
Scott pulled out his claws, “Come on, Scott, put those away. I'd have to be blind, deaf, and quadriplegic for you to be an actual threat. Or maybe you should take a chance. Your heartbeat's steady. You might be afraid of me, but you're controlling it. Maybe you'd actually rise to the occasion, become an Alpha by killing one.”Deucalion said. “I'm not like you. I don't have to kill people.”Scott said. “Hm. Not yet. But situations come about, situations where you realize the only way to protect one person is to kill another.” He said. Scott glared at him, “You wanna threaten me? Is that why you're here? “Scott asked. “No. I live here.”Deucalion said. “What?”Scott asked surprised. “I live here. It's a great building. And the neighbors are surprisingly friendly.”Deucalion said with a smile. “What do you want?”Scott asked him. “I want to see what you're made of.”Deucalion said as the elevator doors open. Scott walked out and a bunch of people walked in, “Could someone hit the button for penthouse “Deucalion said as the elevator doors closed…
*End of Flash back*

~Abandon building where the fight took place.
There was a sound and Cora turned around ready to hit someone, “It’s just me, your Uncle, Uncle Peter.”Peter said to her. She stood up and glared at him, “Uncle Peter who killed Sister Laura.”Cora said. “Mm, not my finest hour, no. But I'm hardly the only dysfunctional family member. Did Derek mention that he killed me too? Slashed my throat, ear to ear.”Peter said. Cora looked at him, “So that means I should trust you?”She asked sarcastically. “Actually, I'm wondering if I can trust you.”Peter said. “You've known me for 17 years.”Cora said. “I knew you for 11, leaving the last 6 unaccounted for. And I'm not particularly fond of things unaccounted.”Peter said to her. “What are you doing here?” she asked annoyed. “Same as you wondering where the bodies went. Wondering if they were carried out, or maybe if one of them managed to find enough strength to push themselves up off the floor and walk out, leaving the two of us standing here to answer the all-important question. Which one?”Peter said…

*Scott’s pov*

*His flashback to his conversation with Deaton.*
“I don't know what else to do. Do I keep trying to get them to listen to me? Do I tell Derek that he's gonna get them all killed? How do you save someone who doesn't wanna be saved? How do I stop them?” I said to Deaton as I looked at his examination table. Deaton came up next to me, “Don’t stop them. Lead them. “He said. 
*End of flashbacks.*

The conversation I had with Deaton yesterday flashed back into my head and I slowly walked up to Boyd. I placed my hand on his arm, “Let go.”Boyd said. “You got a plan. Tell me your brilliant plan, and I'll let go. What are you gonna do? Kill him, right here? And then what? What are you gonna do after that?” I asked. “I don't care.” Boyd said. “I do.” I said and I winced. Isaac looked down and saw the blood still leaking through my shirt. “Whoa, whoa, you're still hurt.”Isaac said. I saw Boyd look at me in worry, “I’m fine. Give me a chance to figure something out, something that doesn't have to end with someone else dying.” I said. Boyd loosened up and nodded, “Okay.” He said.

*Sadie’s pov*
Scott worked his way back to us, “Crisis averted?”I asked as Stiles slid back into the booth to let Scott in. “Mm-hmm.” Scott said with a nodded. “Okay, good.’Cause we got another problem. Ethan keeps checking his phone, like, every five minutes. It's like he's waiting for something, you know, like, a message or a signal of some kind. I don't know something evil though, I can tell. I have a very perceptive eye for evil, but you know that.”Stiles rambled. I glanced at Danny and Ethan, “I don't like him sitting with Danny.” I said to them. “Yeah, neither do I.”Scott said. “I'm gonna see what he's waiting for.”Stiles said. I turned around and watched Stiles as he pulled out his phone, “What are you doing?”I asked. “I’m gonna ask.”Stiles said and he started texting away.  Danny’s phone went off and he checked it and then sent something back. Stiles huffed and sent back another message; it went back and forth like this several times before Danny stopped answering and Stiles just started to blow up his phone.

*Danny’s pov*
My phone continued to go off but I ignored it knowing it was just Stiles being annoying. “Something wrong?”Ethan asked. I looked at him, “Actually, I was wondering the same thing about you.” I said as I made a reference to him checking his phone every couple of minutes.

*Sadie’s pov*
Stiles, Scott and I watched as Danny said something to Ethan and then Ethan furrowed his eyebrows and then glanced back at us. Scott and Stiles being the idiots they are ducked down and I just smiled and waved and Ethan turned back around. I looked over the back of the seat and At Stiles and Scott, “Very subtle guys, very subtle.” I said. Stiles phone beeped and they sat up and he pulled his phone out. He showed us what it said. “Some one very close to him is sick and they don’t know if he’ll make it through the night.”Danny texted. “Ennis?”Scott asked. “Okay, so does that mean, uh he's not dead?”Stiles said. “Or not yet.”I said to them…

~Deaton’s animal clinic
“Deaton heard the bell chime, “It’s open.” He said as he walked out of the back room and into the front. “We could use a little help.”Kali said as her and Aiden held up a barely breathing Ennis and Mrs. Morrell was with them. “Try the hospital.”Deaton said. “Open the gate, Alan.”Mrs. Morrell said. “No.”Deaton said and he crossed his arms. “Help us. Or maybe I just kill her.”Kali said and gestured to Mrs. Morrell. “Not here, you won't. I suggest you leave. Don't make me insist.”Deaton said to Kali. “Alan, if he dies, they'll go after the others. And don't think your little protégés Scott and Sadie won't find their way into the middle of it. They'll kill them. You know they will. Alan, please.”Mrs. Morrell said.

~Back on the bus.

*Stiles pov*
“Jared, I'm warning you. I'm an empathetic vomiter. You throw up, I'm gonna throw up right back on you. And it will be profoundly disgusting.”Coach said loudly. “Please don't talk about throwing up. It's not good.”Jared said. “I might throw up on you just to make a point, Jared.”Coach said and Jared said, “It’s not good. It's not good.” Coach looked back at us. “Now the rest of you, don't think we're gonna miss this meet because of a slight traffic jam, a minor tornado warning, Jared. We're gonna make this thing. Nothing is gonna stop us!”Coach said. I raised my hand,”Stilinski, put your hand down.”Coach said. “You know, there's like, a food exit about a half a mile up. I don't know if we stop and then maybe-“I started but Coach cut me off, “we’re not gonna stop.” He said. “Okay, but if we stop-“I started again. “Stilinski! Shut it! Seriously! It's a little bus! I don’t know how Baby McCall can stand your talking; I give her major props for dealing with you on a daily basis. Stop asking me questions!”He shouted. I fell back into my seat, “I hate him.” I huffed out and Sadie giggled which was so adorable and that relaxed me a little.  I looked over at Scott, “Did you call Deaton?” I asked. “I keep getting his voice mail.”Scott said. “That's it. I'm calling Lydia and Allison.” I said and I started to pull out my phone. “How are they gonna help, back in beacon hills?”Scott asked confused and I could tell Sadie was to from her face. “They're not. They've been following us for hours.” I said as I glanced out the back window,” Pathetic.” I muttered. “Stiles! Be nice.”Sadie said to me. I smiled, “Sorry babe.” I said and I sent her a wink. She blushed and bit her lip and flashes from last night appeared in my head of when she did that. I was snapped out of my reminiscing when I heard Lydia Answer,”Hey, Stiles. Yeah, we're just about to walk into a movie, uh, you know, the popcorn and-“she started to lie which was horrible,” I know you guys are right behind us. Put me on speaker.” I said. “Oh-Okay.” She said. “Okay, look, Scott's still hurt.”I said. “What do you mean still? He's not healing?”Lydia asked. “No, he's not healing. I think he's actually getting worse. The blood's turning, like, a black color and he won’t let Sadie help him.” I said. “Wh-What's wrong with him?”Allison asked. “I don't-do I have a PhD in lycanthropy? How am I supposed to know that?” I said frustrated, Sadie reached around the seat and she grabbed my hand and gave it a squeeze. I looked at her and she smile lightly and I could feel the stress and frustration melt away. “We need to get him off the bus.”Allison said. “And take him where, a hospital?”Lydia said. “If he's dying, yeah.” Allison said. “Stiles, there's a rest area about a mile up. Tell the coach to pull over.” Allison said. “Yeah, I've been trying.” I said. “Well, reason with him.”She said. “Reason? Have you met this guy?”I asked. “Just try something.” She said and she hung up.

*Sadie’s pov*
Stiles reluctantly stood up to go and convince Coach to stop. I said I would but Stiles insisted he did, so I watched as he stood up and went to coach. “Coach, it's five minutes for a bathroom break, okay?-*Whistle*”We've been on this thing for, like, three hours-“Stiles started again but Coach cut him off with his whistle again*Whistle*”It's 60 Miles to the next rest stop-“*Whistle* “Being cooped up for hours is not good-“ *Whistle*Stiles made a face, “You know, our bladders aren't exactly-“ *Whistle* “Coach, this is-“ *Whistle*Stiles looked really frustrated and I know this is a bad time but he looked incredibly hot. “Can you please let me talk! I'm-“*Whistle* “Every time-“* really long whistle* “Get back to your seat, Stilinski!”Coach shouted. “Okay!”Stiles yelled back. Coach turned around and looked at Jared, “Jared, keep your eyes on the horizon.”He said and Stiles paused and looked at Jared. Stiles smiled and I saw him slip into the seat next to Jared. He said a few things and the next thing I know were at the rest stop and everyone is quickly getting off as Coach Shouts,” Jared, you suck! Hey, somebody grab some towels or a mop or a new bus.” Stiles and I helped Scott to the bathroom and Allison and Lydia followed in after.  We placed Scott down and against the wall. We lifted up his shirt,”Oh, my God. Why didn't you tell us?”Allison said. “Sorry.”Scott said. “Okay. Just give us a second, okay?” I said and Scott nodded and we walked away from him. “This shouldn't be happening. We've seen him heal from worse than this.”Stiles said and gestured to him and I. “Okay, what do we do then? Do we just call an ambulance?” Allison asked. “What if it's too late? What if they can't help?” Stiles said. “Let me try.” I said. They looked at me, “Are you sure?” Allison asked. I nodded,”Yeah, I have to. We have to try everything.” I said and Lydia and Allison nodded. I went to walk over to him but Stiles grabbed my hand, I looked at him, “Just, don’t push yourself alright. Remember what Deaton said.” Stiles said and I nodded. He let me go and I leaned down next to Scott. “Hey Scott.” I whispered and Scott looked at me and smiled,”Hey little sis.” He said. I smiled, “I’m gonna try and heal you okay, I have to touch the wound so this might hurt.” I said. He nodded. I placed my hands on his wound and he hissed out. I did what Deaton told me to do but it wasn't working. I tried harder and I kept trying until I heard the ringing sound and a bunch of Scott’s thoughts and images from the fight came flashing into my head. I closed my eyes as my head started to hurt more,”Ow.” I cried out and so did Scott. I saw Derek fall and then I heard Scott’s thoughts as he saw Derek fall and hit the escalator with Ennis. “Sadie? Sadie.”I heard Lydia and Allison say. I winced and I closed my eyes as they same sentence repeated over and over again in my head in my brother’s voice, “It’s my fault. It’s my fault.”I heard. “Sadie baby, come on get out of his head.” I heard Stiles say and then someone touched my shoulder and I snapped out of it. I pulled my hands away from Scott’s wounded and they were covered in his blood, I stood up and my eyes started to tear up. “I-I can’t. I can’t help him.” I said to Allison, Lydia, and Stiles who all had worried faces. I rushed over and started to wash my hands trying to get his blood off of me. I could see the green tint from my eyes and I closed them tightly trying to get them to stop.  I was crying and scrubbing my hands trying to get Scott’s blood off, someone touched my shoulder and I could tell it was the same person as before. I jumped and opened my eyes to see the green was gone, “Babe, its okay. Its okay you tried.” Stiles said and he turned me around and pulled me against his chest and held me tightly as I cried. He whispered soothing things in my ear and within 5 minutes I had stopped crying. A thought pooped into my head and I pulled away and looked at Allison and Lydia, “It’s psychological.” I said. “What do you mean, like, psychosomatic? “Allison asked. “Somatoformic. A physical illness from a psychogenic cause.”Lydia said and I nodded, “Yes, it's all in his head.” I said. “All in his head?”Stiles asked. “Because of Derek. He's not letting himself heal 'cause Derek died. That’s why I can’t heal him and why he won’t let himself heal.” I said as I looked over at Scott who wasn't listening to us. “So what do we do?”Stiles asked.” Stitch him up.”Allison said and Lydia and Stiles looked at her, “I’m serious. Maybe all he needs to do is just believe it's healing.”Allison said and she pulled out a sew kit from her bag and I didn’t question it. “He's gonna need another shirt. Where's his bag?”Allison asked. “Um, I'm gonna get it. I hate needles anyway, so uh; do you know what you're doing?”Stiles asked as he watched Allison pull a needle out and some thread. “Yeah, my father taught me.” She said. “I mean, how fast are you gonna-I mean, the bus, like the bus could leave.” Stiles said. “Well, you just make sure it doesn't leave.”Allison said. “We’ll help. Come on, give Allison some quiet and let her concentrate.” I said and I grabbed Lydia’s and Stiles hands and we left the bathroom.

*Allison’s pov*
Stiles had just dropped off Scott’s bag so I started to get started,” Okay, stay with me. Stay with me, okay? Stay with me.” I said to Scott. “I'm tired.” He mumbled. “Scott, just look at me, okay? Just keep looking at me. Come on. Come on.” I said to him. “Unbelievable. One simple little task? You can't thread a needle?” I heard my mom say and I looked and saw her standing by the wall. “I'm trying.” I said my voice cracking. “Well, you want my sympathy? Because you're just a 17-year-old little girl and this is all too much for you to handle. Well, get over it. Thread the needle.” My mom said as I failed to thread the needle again. “My hands won't stop shaking.” I said. “Breathe. Allison, breathe. Try it again.” She said and I did but I missed it again,”Aah!” I cried out in frustration. “Okay. How do we approach a situation like this?” my mom asked,” Allison! “She yelled when I didn’t answer. “Clinically.” I said. “And?” she asked. “And unemotional and unemotionally.” I said. “Then stop crying, and do it.” She said and I listened. I smiled when I threaded the needle, “Stay with me, stay with me. Okay.” I said as I started to sew up his wounded. I had finished and I smiled but it slowly slipped away when I couldn't see Scott breathing. “Scott. Scott? Scott!” I said and he took a deep breath and opened his eyes, “It’s my fault.” Scott said. “Scott, look at me. It's okay.” I said as he looked at me. He looked down at his wound and ran his fingers over the thread. “Did you do that?”He asked me. “Yeah.” I said, He smiled and looked at me, “Nice.” He said. “Can you stand?” I asked as I stood up and he nodded and I helped him. “Okay. Put this on.” I said as I handed him a new shirt and tossed out his other one.

*Flashback to a couple minutes before the fight.*
Scott spun around and saw Isaac leaning against his door, “Whoa.”Scott said. “Where are you going?” Isaac asked his new roommate. “Uh, I was gonna go get some food to eat.”Scott said. “Oh, cool. I'll come with you.”Isaac said. “Nah, dude, it's okay. I can eat alone.”Scott said. “What are you getting? “Isaac asked. “Uh, Mexican.” Scott said. “Dude, I love Mexican.”Isaac said and went to walk out but Scott stopped him, “Isaac. I can eat alone, its okay.”Scott said. Isaac smiled, “You’re not going alone. Come on.”Isaac said and they left. The climbed on Scott motorbike and they drove to the place where Scott was gonna meet up with Deucalion. They climbed off the motorbike, “We’re just gonna talk to him, try to reason with him. That's it, alright?”Scott said and he looked at Isaac who had a face he didn’t recognize. “What?” Scott asked. “Nothing. It's just that, uh, I'm actually kind of hungry now.” Isaac said. Scott patted Isaac on the shoulder, “So am I.” he said and they started to walk in. 
*End of flashback*

*Lydia’s pov*
“Is he okay? Are you okay?” I asked as i walked up to Allison and Scott.“Yeah, I’m good. Where’s Stiles and Sadie?” He asked. “Trying to stall coach.”I said. And we stopped. “We still don’t have gas.”I said to Allison. “I’m not leaving Scott.”Allison said. “Then we have to leave the car.”I said. “Sounds good.”Allison said and she started to walk again with Scott. “What? That wasn't an actual suggestion. Allison, wait. Ah. Screw it.” I said.

*Flashback to a couple minutes before the fight.*
Isaac and Scott walked up and they saw Deucalion on a set of escalators. “You didn't come alone.” He said. “Yeah. This is Isaac.” Scott said. “I'm not talking about Isaac.”Deucalion and Scott looked to Scott's left and saw Boyd, Cora, and Derek walk up in werewolf form. “You knew I would do this? Derek, don't. You can't do this so no one gets hurt. If someone else dies-“Scott started but Derek cut him off, “Him. Just him.”Derek said. “Just me? Now, how's a blind man find his way into a place like this all on his own?”Deucalion asked with a smirk and the twins walked up where they could be seen from the floor above and Ennis came out from the shadows by Deucalion and Kali used her claws and slid down from the floor above…
*End of flashback*

*Sadie’s pov*
“Sadie, Stiles, what’s happening?”Allison asked as Scott and he ran up to us. “He went after him. I told ‘em what was happening with Scott and he just went after him.”Stiles said. “Who, Boyd?”Scott asked. I shook my head, “No, Isaac.” I said and I helped Scott get to Isaac as I pushed everyone out of the way. “Isaac, Isaac!” I shouted but it did nothing. “Isaac, Isaac! Back off! Stop.”Coach shouted but that did nothing also. “Isaac!”Scott shouted and Isaac stopped hitting Ethan and he let him go and look over at Scott. Isaac smiled a little and I knew he was just glad that Scott was okay. Everyone looked at Scott in shock that Isaac just yelled at him and he stopped, it was like the day outside the janitor’s closet.

~Outside Deaton’s animal clinic.
“An animal clinic?”Cora asked her uncle. “It's not as ordinary as it looks. The building's half made out of Mountain ash. I'm not actually sure how to get in.”Peter said. “Well, maybe we could do what normal people do and knock on the door.”Cora said and went to walk out from between the cars but Peter grabbed her arm, “They’re here.” He said. “Who?” Cora asked. “All of them.” Peter said.

~Inside Deaton’s animal clinic.
“How's our patient? “Deucalion asked Deaton as he walked up to the table with Ennis on it. “Out cold.”Deaton said. “And the prognosis?”Deucalion asked. “Surprisingly optimistic. He's gonna make it.”Deaton said. Deucalion moved his fingers with his claws up against Ennis’s face and he jammed them in and he twisted successfully killing Ennis. “Hm. I think you might've overestimated his odds.”Deucalion said and Deaton just remained silent.

~Outside Deaton’s animal clinic.
“But how do we know who's in there? Is it Derek or Ennis or both?” Cora asked and the back door of the office opened and out walked Kali and Aiden. Cora and Peter remained quiet as they watched. Kali cried and let out a loud roar in pain and Aiden held her arms as she did. “Well, we know one thing, that wasn't for Derek.”Peter said and he and Cora quickly left.

*Flashback to the fight.* 
Derek makes a move on Deucalion but Kali stops him with a kick to the head. The twins somersault from the upper floor and land merged .Boyd is facing off with Ennis who seems to easily avoid most of his blows but the young man does score one good upper cut. Isaac takes on the merged twins and is tossed aside easily. Scott reluctantly transforms to help Isaac. The merged twins throw him into a concrete wall. Derek briefly gets the upper hand with Kali, twisting her arm and delivering an elbow to the face. Cora fights Ennis but the larger werewolf twists her around breaking her arm. Isaac and Scott fight the merged twins but they are no match and Scott gets a nasty scratch on his torso. Through it all, Deucalion stands serenely on the damaged escalator listening. Ennis holds Boyd while Kali delivers a roundhouse kick, clawing deeply into Boyd’s chest. Boyd is down. Kali has her foot on Cora’s neck. Scott and Isaac are on their knees. “Kill him. The others can go. You're beaten. Do it, Derek. Take the first step.”Deucalion says to Derek but he doesn't listen. “Are we serious with this kid? Look at him. He's an Alpha? To what? A couple of useless teenagers?”Kali says. Deucalion looks towards Scott,” Some have more promise than others.” He said and he looked back at Derek,” Let him rise to the occasion then “Deucalion says.” What'll it be, Derek? Pack or family?”Kali says. An arrow flies over Derek’s head and strikes the merged twins who immediately separate into two people again. Allison continues firing flash bang arrows,” Your eyes, cover your eyes!”Deucalion shouts to his pack. Allison continues to fire, giving Scott and Derek time to regroup and begin to help the wounded out of harm’s way. Scott regains his feet and takes aim at Ennis. The two hit each other with equal force and merely slide away from each other. Once he looks up we can see that Scott’s eyes glow Alpha Red. He shakes his head and they return to the more common yellow color. Derek attacks Ennis from behind. As the two struggle they get closer and closer to the ledge over a three floor drop. Scott jumps forward to help, slashing at the tendons in Ennis’ leg. Ennis spins and begins to fall over the ledge pulling Derek with him. The two crash down on another escalator far below.

~How Allison was at the fight.
“Someone needs to help them.”Allison said to her father. “Not us. I'm getting the consulting business back up and running, and you need to graduate. That's a normal life. And it's what we agreed to.”Chris said to his daughter. “So we just ignore it?”Allison said. “We stay out of it.”Chris said. “There's a pack of alphas trying to kill my friends. How do I stay out of that?”Allison said. “There's a saying for these kinds of situations, the kind you have to navigate carefully. It's called, "threading the needle." It's finding a safe path between two opposing forces.”Chris said. “Sounds like saving your own ass.”Allison muttered. Chris sighed and looked at his daughter, “They’re not your family.”Chris said. “With all the family that I've lost, I could use a few friends.”Allison said and she walked out of the room, “Allison.”Chris said but she was gone. 
*End of flashbacks*

*Sadie’s pov*
We were back on the bus, Allison and Scott were sitting next to each other and I was next to Lydia with Stiles sitting in front of us. “Alright. Let's go over this one more time. So it's the sacrifices, right? Everything has to do with them and someone who thinks he's, like, a dark druid of some kind.”Stiles said. “Or actually is a dark druid. A Darach.” I said and Stiles nodded. Lydia looked at us, “You know some ancient cultures sacrificed people in preparation for battle.”Lydia said. “So we got Alpha werewolves against a dark druid.”Stiles said. “Yep.” I said. “Great...” Stiles said.

*Allison’s pov*
“You know, if he's really dead, it's not your fault.”I said to Scott. “Maybe. But remember that whole thing that we talked about where I wasn't accusing you of being there, and if you were there you shouldn't be?”He asked as he looked at me and I nodded. “Thanks for not listening.” He said and I looked at his eyes. “What?” he asked.  I shook my head, “I was just looking at your eyes.” I said but kept why to myself…

~back at Deaton’s office.
Ennis’ body is still on the table at Deaton’s. Ms. Morrell covers his face with a sheet. Deaton walks in, “I don't think you really know what you've gotten yourself into here. “he said. “It's a little late to be playing big brother, don't you think?” she retorts back at him.

~At school
Ms. Blake gets in her car to leave when Derek stumbles up and leaves a bloody hand print on the window and then falls to the floor. Ms. Blake hops out and rushes to help Derek. 

^Ooo! They finally got it on! lol I love you guys!!^ ~Taylor
