I was at home with Stiles, my period pains were subsiding thank god for that. I headed downstairs for some painkillers and I saw Stiles giving Dad some whisky. I sat on the stairs and I listened in.
"You know, Derek Hale would be a whole hale of a lot--" Dad's voice slurs.
"Hale of a lot?" Dad slurs.
"Hell of a lot?" Stiles suggests.
"Hell... Yes... He would be a hell of a lot easier to catch if we could get an actual picture of him." Dad says.
"How do you not have a picture of him?" Stiles questions.
"It's the weirdest thing... It's like every time we tried to get a mug shot, it's like two laser beams were pointing at the camera." Dad says.
"Nice."
"Oh, my God... Ohhh! God, that ounce hit me like a brick. And I have said way too much, and if you repeat any of that--" Dad slurs
"Dad, it's me! I'm not gonna say anything. Come on!" Stiles exclaims.
"See, the thing is, they're all connected... I mean, the bus driver that got killed? He was an insurance investigator assigned to the Hale House Fire." Dad tells him slowly.
"Terminated under suspicion of fraud." Stiles read out loud.
"Exactly," Dad says
"Who else?" Stiles questions
"The video store clerk whom Juliet worked for who got his throat slashed? He's a convicted felon-- history of arson."
"What about the other two guys, the guys who got killed in the woods?"
"Priors all over their records, including--"
"Arson." Stiles finishes.
"So, maybe they all had something to do with the fire..." Stiles suggests.
"Another shot?"
"No, no, no. No more."
"Dad, come on! You work hard, all right? You deserve it."
"Oh, my God... I'm gonna have such a hangover..."
"You mean you're gonna have such a good night's sleep!" Stiles exclaims.
"I'm gonna have an eternity in the lowest circle of hell." Stiles mutters.
I headed upstairs after hearing enough about everything and I had a shower only for Stiles to come bursting in.
"Stiles! Towel! knock!" I yelled covering up.
Stiles turns around and covers his eyes.
"I'm sorry!" He squeaked out.
"But Peter is taking Mama McCall out for dinner and we need to stop it." He says.
"Let me get dressed and I'll meet you in the Jeep," I said quickly grabbing my clothes.
Stiles nods and leaves. I quickly get dressed and head out to the Jeep and we drive off towards Peter and Melissa's car.
(&)
We found them parked to the side and Stiles rams into the back of them. I ducked out of the Jeep and hid behind the car.
"STILES!" Melissa yells
"Mrs. McCall?" Stiles fake confusion
"Yes!" Melissa shouts.
"Wow, this is this is just crazy. What a coincidence, huh?" Stiles questions.
"Ha. Ha." Melissa fake laughs
"Nicely done, Scott," Peter mutters
"I mean, I do not know what happened. You guys just came out of nowhere--" Stiles lies.
"Came out of nowhere??? We were parked on the side of the road, Stiles!" Melissa yells.
"How crazy is that? I mean, we should probably call the cops, you know? Do like, an accident report thing?" Stiles says
"I don't think that's necessary," Peter says
"Are you sure? I think I'm feeling a little whiplash." Stiles says
" Whiplash??? You hit us!" Melissa yells.
"I don't know. There's something wrong with my neck." Stiles says.
"I know you're there, Scott, and I'm impressed. It's too bad most teenagers aren't that smart. It's like that one on the lacrosse team-- Jackson. Thinks he knows all about us. You know how they say "Knowledge is power?" Not in his case." Peter says muttering.
"Jackson. Oh, no.." Scott mutters next to me.
Scott grabs my hand and we take off running towards the Hale house and wait for Derek and Jackson.
(*)
Me and Scott were hidden upstairs whilst Scott was going to stop Derek from killing Jackson. We heard muffled voices and then we heard them enter the house.
"Roma stay hidden," Scott tells me
"No, I can handle Derek," I say.
"I've dreamt about this place. I - I remember the staircase. I remember these - these walls. I remember - everything." Jackson says
"You've been here?" Derek questions.
"No, never. I dreamt it." Jackson says
"There's no one else here, and no one else is coming?" Jackson realises
"No, please - Please don't, okay? I'll shut up - I'll never say another word again. I'll leave Scott alone. Please, you can't do this! Please! I - I don't deserve it." Jackson pleads.
"I think you do," Derek says stalking Jackson.
"N - no!" Jackson says.
"Look around you!" Derek shouts.
"Wouldn't there be someone here trying to save you? There's no one here. There is a reason. No one cares that you drive an expensive car. No one cares that you have perfect hair, and no one cares that you're captain of the lacrosse team." Derek tells him.
"Excuse me. Co-captain." Scott announced his presence.
I came down the stairs to see both Derek and Scott fully shifted.
Scott jumps in front of Jackson."Move!"Derek demands." Derek don't do this," I tell him softly.
"No," Scott says
"Fine. I'll kill you too." Derek says as he's about to attack bullets come flying in. Derek ducks, "Cover your eyes!" Derek yells
I ducked and covered in a corner as Jackson ran off, Derek came over to me and covered me from the bullets.
Scott was on the floor coughing up blood and Derek shook Scott."Scott go!" Derek says. Scott doesn't move. Derek then pulled him up and pushed him towards the back door.
Scott stumbles out and Derek faces me."Roma you need to go," Derek tells me.
"No." I shouted."Now!" Derek shouts.
"I'm not leaving you alone to get hurt!" I shouted."I'll be fine baby girl now go!" Derek yells." You better be Derek," I said." Go," Derek says softly smiling at me.
I nodded and ran out but I didn't see the hunter walking next to me and I felt something hit the back of my head causing me to blackout.
(&)
I woke up in a room on my own and I saw my jumper was gone and I was just in my leggings and bra.
I then heard a loud screeching noise and noticed the door in front of me was being opened.
I see Kate and a hunter looking right at me." Hello Roma, I told you that we'd have some girl talk," Kate says with a grin.
"What do you want Kate?" I said standing up to her."I want to know about Derek Hale, my niece said you two seemed close," Kate says coming to my face.
"I'm not saying a word, I am not a coward like you. Burning down a house full of people," I said head butting her.
I smirked when I heard her groan in pain." You deal with her, I'm going to see our other guest of honour," Kate says glaring at me.
The bloke came up to me with a grin and cracked his knuckles." Do your worst, asshole," I said with a look.
