The Argents

|On the road|

It is night and Kate Argent, the sister of Chris Argent is driving her car down an empty road headed to the address her brother told her he and his family is staying at. Listening to the radio she doesn't notice a wolf like creature with glowing red eyes running alongside her car, looking in and vanishing when she happens to glance in its direction. Continuing on driving Kate feels as though something is following her and checks the rearview mirror constantly but sees nothing, deciding to get a better view she turns around to look outside the back window and doesn't look at the road ahead of her, turning back towards her front she sees that she is about to hit a car and stomps on the breaks barely able to avoid a crash. The other car speed away honking its horn. With a sigh and telling herself "nice driving Kate" she leans back into her seat and tries to catch her breath after almost causing an accident.

After she caught her breath she moves to start the car again but is stopped when she hears something hit her car roof. Hearing whatever hit her roof move she moves to grab her shotgun when suddenly her driver side window gets smashed in and a clawed hand attempts to grab her screaming "no" multiple times she manages so free one of her arms and grabs for the shotgun, this time getting it and firing at her roof. Opening up the passenger side door she rolls out the car and reloads her shotgun aiming at where she assumes whatever attacked her is. Seeing nothing on her roof Kate gets out of her kneeling position and looks around yelling "come on, come on!" while firing into the air attempting to get the attacker to give away its position. After no sign of the enemy Kate dials her brothers cell and alerts him that she is currently being attacked by a werewolf.

|McCall house|

Scott is lying in bed currently asleep when he gets woken up by a gunshot. Thinking nothing of it, assuming he just dreamt it Scott tries to get back to sleep, only to jump out of his bed when he hears a wolf howl. Assuming that it's either Derek or the alpha Scott puts on his pants and hurries out headed to where he heard the howl coming from.

|back on the road|

Kate approaches the trunk of her car opening it and opening a bag with a rifle in it she takes out the rifle, tossing her shotgun into the trunk and opens a case which contains many different kinds of bullets. Taking a wooden box containing 10 rifle bullets she loads one and grabs a flashlight taking off approaching the warehouse next to where her car stopped.

|Argent house|

Chris Argent packing a few weapons in a bag goes to the front door heading to the car parked outside to get to where Kate is being attacked and help her but stops when he hears Allison ask from upstairs "what's going on?"

"Kate just texted I'm heading out to pick her up." Chris lies.

"It's two in the morning, is everything OK?" Allison asks worried.

"Yeah, yeah she is just having car trouble." Chris tells her.

"Not serious is it?" Allison asks.

"No, no just a flat tire. Go back to bed sweetie." Chris tells his daughter, at which she goes back to her bedroom to get some more sleep.

|back on the road|

Close to where Kate is loading her gun Derek looks at the street seeing a drop of blood and smelling the owner of the blood he looks up to the roof of a nearby building and sees the alpha currently climbing to the very top of the building. Seeing his chance to identify the alpha Derek takes off after him climbing onto the adjacent buildings roof, he locates the alpha running over the roof of the building ahead of him Derek runs the edge of the roof and jumps aiming to land on the roof where the alpha is currently making his escape.

Kate seeing someone jumping from one roof to another takes aim and shoots at the being.

Derek being hit falls down to the ground below not making it to the other buildings roof.

Kate sees her brother pulling up and slings her gun over her back and approaches him.

"Get in!" Chris Argent orders.

"Not even a hello? No nice to see you?" Kate replies sarcastically.

"All I've got at the moment is, please put your assault rifle away before someone notices."

"That's the brother I love." Kate says sarcastically.

Unnoticed by them Scott listens in on their conversation, hiding himself from view behind a wall.

"There were two of them I shot one." Kate says.

"The alpha?" Chris asks.

"I don't know but one of them tried to kill me." Kate replies.

"We need one of them to lead us to the other, he can't do that if he's dead." Chris lectures her.

"Well I can't help kill either of them if one of them kills me first." Kate tells him.

"How long will it take?" Chris asks her.

"I give him 48 hours." Kate guesses.

Meanwhile Scott is thinking over what he just heard while Derek pulled himself up against a wall and rolls up his sleeve to reveal a blue burning wound while looking at it worriedly.

|Argent house|

It's morning now and Allison having just woken up runs into her aunts room screaming excited, jumping into Kates arms both hugging each other.

"I don't see you for a year and you turn into a freaking runway model? Look at you, ugh I hate you." Kate says playfully.

"I haven't even showered yet." Allison replies embarrassed hiding her face in her arms while sitting on Kates bed.

"Sweetie you're a knockout, in fact I hope you have the boys knocking each others teeth out for your attention." Kate tells Allison.

"I kinda have one." Allison confesses.

"I kind have one? You should kinda have a million." Kate tells Allison teasing her with both of them laughing.

"Do you need some help unpacking?" Allison offers trying to open the nearest bag lying on the bed.

"No not that one. See you turn out beautiful and I end up with this Kung Fu death grip. Sorry sweetie I didn't mean to be so rough." Kate jokes after having forcefully stopped Allison from opening the bag.

"No worries. Hey is everything OK with your car?" Allison asks because she remembers that her father left at 2 o clock because of Kates car troubles.

"Uhh, yeah I just needed a jump start that's all." Kate lies.

"A jump start?" Allison asks quietly to herself.

|history classroom|

Scott sits fidgeting at his table looking at the teacher who was currently passing out graded test.

Stiles sitting behind him taps him on the shoulder causing Scott to turn his head in acknowledgment while Stiles asks "If Derek is not the alpha if he's not the one who bit you, then who did?"

"I don't know." Scott replies clueless after thinking about it a few seconds.

"Did the alpha kill the bus driver?" Stiles asks.

"I don't know." Scott answers.

"Does Allisons dad know about the alpha?" Stiles questions looking annoyed at all the unanswered questions.

"I don't know!" Scott snaps at Stiles constant questioning.

The teacher reaches Scott and Stiles and hands them their tests. Stiles got an A while Scott got an D-

Stiles seeing his best friends grade says "Dude you need to study more. That was a joke, it was one test you're gonna make it up." Stiles says after Scott looks bummed out about his grade.

"Do you want help studying?" Stiles offers.

"No. I'm studying with Lydia after school today." Scott replies.

"That's my boy!" Stiles says proud of Scott.

"We're just studying." Scott replies.

"Uhh, no you're not." Stiles tells him.

"Yes, I am now drop it!" Scott orders.

"OK do what you must, anyway Allison and I are having dinner at her house later on so she can formerly introduce me to her folks, I'm going over after school with her." Stiles exclaims proudly.

"Well it's better if you behave yourself, since you know what her father does at night." Scott half jokes to Stiles.

|school hallway|

Derek is stumbling through the hallway looking pale and sweating furiously hearing someone stuffing stuff in his locker he recognizes Jackson and walks towards him. "Where is Scott McCall?" Derek asks sounding exhausted.

"Why should I tell you?" Jackson asks after looking Derek over.

"Because I asked you politely. And I only do that once." Derek warns Jackson.

"Hmpf, OK tough guy, you know how about I help you find him if you tell me what you're selling him." Jackson says trying to make a deal with Derek.

"What is it? Is it uh, dyanabol? Hdh?" Jackson asks.

"Steroids?" Derek asks confused.

"No girl scout cookies. What the hell do you think I'm talking about? Oh and by the way whatever it is you're selling I'd probably stop sampling the merchandise. You look wrecked." Jackson taunts him.

Derek seeing that blood is dripping down his arm and hand decides to avoid the conversation telling Jackson "I'll find him myself." stepping around him and going to find Scott only for Jackson to pack him by his shoulder trying to stop him saying "No, we're not done here." Dereks response was to slam Jackson into his locker face forward holding him by his neck.

Letting go on him Derek takes off down the hallway and rests in a corner a few turns away from Jackson, deciding to find Scott via enhanced hearing he listens to multiple different sounds till he can make out a conversation between the girls he has seen Scott hang around with.

Stiles and I are hanging out after school and I'm introducing him to my parents over dinner." Allison says.

"Hanging out? Hanging out is never just hanging out, it's like getting into a hot tub. Somebody eventually cops a feel." Lydia argues.

"Well so what are you saying?"Allison asks.

"I'm just saying you know make sure he covers up. Hello snow white I'm talking about a condom." Lydia informs her after seeing that Allison didn't get she was talking about.

"Are you kidding after 2 dates?" Allison says shocked.

"Don't be a total prude. Give him a little taste." Lydia advises.

"I don't think I'm ready for that yet." Allison replies scared of what might happen.

"OK, if you want I guess Scott and I could also come to remove the sexual tension. I'm supposed to help him study anyway, I'm sure he won't mind doing it at your place with some company." Lydia offers Allison.

"That sounds great, thank you come with Scott to my house after school then, but you better not make me regret it by being all over each other yourselves." Allison says.

"I think you're save on that front, Scott doesn't expect me to do anything and he really needs help in school because he's flunking some classes. Plus it's not like we're boyfriend and girlfriend like you and Stiles, I mean I know that he likes me and probably has a crush on me but I don't want to jump from one relationship to the next anymore. So this time I'm making sure that Scott is not some ass like Jackson who only cares about himself." Lydia explains.

"I don't think Scott is like that, is he weird? Sure, but not in a bad creepy way if you ask me but in the end it's your decision how long you wanna make him wait but word of advice, I'd not wait too long, he's already getting a fanclub with how he is playing Lacrosse." Allison whispers her own piece of advice.

"Time will tell I guess, and you're right up till now Scott has been better than any boyfriend I have ever had and is one of the nicest most caring people I have ever met." Lydia says trying to hide that she is starting to form a crush on Scott herself.

After hearing this, the bell rings screwing up Dereks enhanced hearing.

|school parking lot|

Stiles gets in his car excited to drive to Allisons house to hang out with her, but when he pulls out of his parking spot Derek walks in front of his Jeep causing Stiles to stop shocked.

Scott who is currently getting his bike hears the horns from the car behind Stiles Jeep, turns around and sees what's going on. Seeing Derek fall over Scott runs to him and gets Stiles to get out of his car and kneels down to Derek asking "What are you doing here?"

"I was shot." Derek replies.

"He's not looking so good dude." Stiles says from over Scotts shoulder.

"Why aren't you healing?" Scott asks confused.

"I can't it was a different kind of bullet." Derek tells him.

"What, a silver bullet?" Stiles asks.

"No you idiot." Derek says getting annoyed with Stiles antics.

"Wait, that's what she meant when she said you have 48 hours." Scott says recalling the conversation he overheard between Kate and Chris.

"What? Who said I've 48 hours?" Derek asks confused.

"The woman who shot you." Scott replies.

Derek gets hit by a wave of pain in that moment and looses control over his shift and his eyes start to glow meanwhile the cars behind Stiles are still honking their horns.

"What are you doing? Stop that." Scott says seeing Dereks eyes.

"I tried to tell you I can't?" Derek replies.

"Help me put him in your car." Scott tells Stiles.

Both teens help Derek get into the passenger seat and Scott tells Stiles "Stiles, go catch a ride with Allison and tell Lydia that I'm coming a few minutes later. She texted me that we were all going to Allisons to study." getting Stiles car keys and getting in his Jeep driving off the parking lot in order not to get any more trouble.

Driving off the parking lot Derek tells Stiles "I need you to find out what kind of bullet they used." Derek tells Scott.

"How the hell am I supposed to do that? Cause she's an Argent she's with them." Derek explains guessing the identity of the shooter.

"Why should I help you?" Scott asks.

"Because you need me." Derek replies.

"Fine, I'll try but first I have to get you out of here. I'm bringing you to my house, my mom won't be home today till at least midnight." Scott tells him.

Scott then drives to his house and gets Derek settled into his room and takes off to get to Allisons house to find the bullet and hopefully get some studying done and Derek falls asleep soon after Scott left.

Meanwhile Stiles asks Allison if he can catch a ride with her and Lyida who instantly agrees while Lydia asks him "Where is Scott taking off to?"

"Well that kid Derek who went to school here a few years back just walked in front of my car and collapsed and Scott always wanting to help people is taking him to the hospital. He said he'll meet us at Allisons in a few minutes." Stiles lies convincingly.

"Oh OK." Lydia says relaxing again, she was scared for a second that Scott was blowing her off despite seeming like the nicest guy in the world.

|Argent house|

The 3 teens arrive at Allisons house and go up to Allisons room small talking along the way.

20 minutes later Scott pulls up, rings the doorbell and Lydia opens the door bringing Scott with her to Allisons room to start studying. Entering the room Scott and Lydia are treated to the sight of Allison lying on top of Stiles making out with him. "my, my" Lydia says while Scott clears his throat to announce his presence to the couple currently lying on bed. "So what are we studying first?" Stiles asks trying to change the topic, quickly sitting up after Allison gets off him.

"I think we should start with history, by the way am I the only one who needs help studying or does Allison also need some help?" Scott asks the group.

"No I'm good." Allison replies.

"great." Scott says sarcastically slumping down on the floor, getting his history book out of his bag.

After they studied for about one and a half hour and are currently taking a break Stiles decides to finally ask Allison "What's up with the boxes Al?" trying out a nickname for her.

"Oh well I haven't gotten around to unpacking my stuff yet, it's a habit since usually we only stay a couple of month in one place, but my parents said that this time we'll stay longer maybe even for good." Allison explains.

"Oh makes sense, well if you want me to help you unpack sometime just let me know." Stiles says.

"I can also help you." Lydia adds.

Stiles then looks into an opened box near the bed he and Allison are sitting on while Lydia is sitting on the desk chair with Scott sitting on the floor next to her.

"Hmm what's this?" He asks taking out some printed out pictures of different places.

"Oh that's from when I thought I was a photographer." Allison explains.

"They look good." Stiles says looking through her portfolio.

"No their not, I stopped when I realized I was terrible at it." She says.

Stiles takes out some drawings and Allison explains "That's from when I thought I was into painting, but I was terrible too." taking them from Stiles.

"So what are you good at?" Stiles asks curious wanting to get to know her more, the other two teens completely forgotten by the couple were whispering to each other while Stiles and Allison talk.

"Well I think we are kind of the 3rd and 4th wheels here don't you think?" Scott whispers to Lydia.

"Yeah well Allison asked me to come because she doesn't want to rush things with Stiles." Lydia explains the reason for them being there.

"Ah that makes sense with how we found them after I arrived." Scott replies quietly smirking.

"Come on everybody, I'll show you what I'm good at but you have to promise not to laugh." Allison says.

After all of them saying "Promise."

Allison leads them to the garage, where she takes something out of one of the boxes stored there while telling them "So I was nationally ranked as a kid and my dad really wanted me to go on but I don't know didn't seem like the right fit at the time. Promise you wont laugh."

"We promise." they say as a group.

Allison finds what she's looking for and gets out a compound bow pulling the string back to demonstrate it.

"What the hell?" Stiles shrieks with all of them flinching back a bit.

"It's a compound bow and I'm pretty sure it requires an arrow to be harmful." Allison says amused by their reaction.

"So that's what you're good at, archery? You gotta show me how you use it sometime." Stiles says.

"Sure if you want to I can even teach you." Allison says smiling that Stiles doesn't think that she is weird for liking archery.

"What's up with that?" Scott asks shocked now seeing the guns stacked at the back of the garage while pointing a finger at them.

"Oh well I better explain, we are not some kind of separatists gun nut family, my dad sells firearms to the law enforcement." Allison explains.

"Oh that's good. So you plan on joining the family business?" Scott asks her.

"I don't know." Allison says.

Just then the garage door leading to the living room opens and Chris Argent walks in seeing the 4 teens standing around in the garage.

"Hello? I thought there was only supposed to be one new face around here." Chris says suspiciously to the group.

"Hi dad, yeah I invited Scott and Lydia for dinner if that's OK with you, I want you to get to know all of my friends." Allison explains.

"Yeah that's OK, just let us know beforehand next time." Chris replies.

"Hey Chris get your ass out of the 50s and come help out with the groceries." Kate yells from the driveway.

"Be right there." he shouts back.

"You mind helping?" Chris asks the group of teens.

"Sure." Allison and Lydia reply

"No problem." Scott says.

"Happy to." Stiles says.

They then all help unloading the car after their done Chris asks the three guests "You eat meat?"

All of them nod surprised since the question came out of nowhere.

"Good, that gives us a chance to get to know each other" Chris says eyeing Stiles, knowing that he is the one dating his daughter since he has seen him in his Jeep parked in front of his house a few days ago.

The group of teens go back upstairs to talk a bit more while the adults prepare the meal together.
