Inexplicable (DEREK HALE)

Chapter 30

Season 3 Episode 10

Meanwhile at the school, Stiles and Scott had just discovered that Jennifer was the Darach after she took Stilinski and tried to kill Lydia. Scott and Stiles raced to Dereks, telling him all about Jennifer and they waited in the shadows when she burst through the door.

"Derek? Derek, where are you?" Jennifer shouts into the darkened loft.

"Right here." He replies, stepping out of the shadows.

"Thank God." She mutters, rushing over and pulling Derek into a hug.

"Something happened at the recital. At the school. I need to tell you before you hear it from any of them." Jennifer rambles, pretending to be panicked.

"From who?" Derek asks, feigning confusion.

"Scott, Stiles- they're going to tell you things. Things you can''t believe. You have to trust me, okay? You trust me." She makes him promise.

"What is it?" Derek asks, avoiding to make the promise.

"Promise you'll listen to me." She demands.

"I promise." Derek hesitantly says and Jennifer jisses him but Derek didn't return it.

"They're already here, aren't they?" Jennifer frowns as Scott and Stiles step out of the bedroom. "So they told you it was me? That i'm the one taking people?"

"We told him you're the one killing people." Scott corrects.

"Oh, that's right. Committing human sacrifices. Cutting their throat? I probably do it during my lunch hour. That was I can get back to teaching high school English the rest of the day. That makes perfect sense." Jennifer scoffs sarcastically.

"Where's my dad?" Stiles asks with tearfilled eyes.

"How would I know? Derek, tell me you don't believe this." Jennifer frowns.

"Do you know what happened to Stiles's father?" Derek asks her, remaining calm.

"No. I have no idea." Jennifer replies.

"Ask her why she almost killed Lydia." Scott tells Derek, but she interrupts before he could.

"Lydia Martin? I don't know anything about that." She protests.

"What do you know?" Derek asks, getting fed up of her behaviour.

"I know these two boys, for whatever misguided reason, are filling your head with an absurd story. One they can't prove, by the way." Jennifer lies.

"What if we could?" Scott said with a small smirk, holding up a vial of mistletoe in his hand.

"What is that?" Jennifer asks, almost disgusted.

"Mistletoe. My boss told me it's a poison and a cure. Which means you can use it, but it can also be used against you." Scott says, throwing the vial at her and she transforms into the Darach. She turns back to normal and tries to back away but Derek goes forward to grab her.

"No, Derek wait-" She starts but Derek grabs her neck in his hand "Wait, just wait- you need me."

"What are you?" Derek questions.

"The only person who can save your sister." Jennifer says and Derek blinks, a moment of hesitation. "Call Peter. Call him." She demands and he obliges.

"It's not good. She's been in and out of consciousness. And She's vomiting up black blood along with one other alarming substance." Peter says over the phone.

"Mistletoe." Derek answers and hangs up the call, his grip tightening against her throat.

"Derek? What are you doing?" Scott asks, knowing they wont get Stilinski.
