Darach

|Two days later – at school|

Jennifer Blake, one the new teacher at Beacon Hills feels something odd in the hallway and rushes to her room, closing the door behind her with a sigh of relief until she sees Derek standing in the middle of the room.

"AH!" She screams surprised.

"What do you want? And who are you?" She asks, weary of the unknown man.

"I'm looking for Scott. Scott McCall I was hoping someone could point me to him." He tells her.

"Uhm, yeah he's in one of my classes. He's taking part in the track run, the whole Lacrosse team is." Jeniffer informs him.

"Thank you. And I'm Derek by the way." He thanks her, walking closer to the door with her still in a defensive position until Derek extends his hand towards her.

"Jennifer." She introduces herself.

"Well it was nice to meet you and thank you for your help Jennifer." Derek says, giving her a grin.

|An hour later – woods of Beacon Hills|

"Stiles, I'm telling you he's not dead. I think. At least there wasn't any blood from where he disappeared." Scott whispers to his friend.

"Well, do you really think that in Beacon Hills missing means alive? I'm just glad that Allison and I had the chance to you know… in France." Stiles replies quietly, raising his eyebrows suggestively.

"Yeah I know and please leave it at that." Scott says and walks over to Isaac, who's tying his shoes, to get ready for the run and the twins flank him on both sides, making him glance towards them angrily.

Coach then blows his whistle and the teens all start to run and jog down a path with Scott, Isaac, Stiles and Lydia remaining.

"Isaac." Scott says, grasping the teens shoulder when he is about to run after the twins, who put him in the hospital.

"It's them." He says furiously.

"Be careful. They are alphas." Scott warns him but Isaac shrugs off his hand and takes off in a sprint after the two.

"What are you waiting for? Run you lazy bastards. Run." Coach yells at the three remaining students, getting a look of disbelieve curtesy of Lydia.

"Uhm, I meant the other two, you do your own thing." Coach says apologetically at seeing the redhead's stare.

"Come on." Scott tells them and the three start to run down the path as well.

"You know, you two can just run ahead without me. I won't be able to keep up." Lydia tells them.

"See you at the finish line." Stiles tells the two and speeds up, slowly putting a little distance between them.

"Scott, what are you still doing here? You could already be done for gods sake." Lydia asks her were-eagle boyfriend.

"What? And miss seeing you sweat for once?" Scott asks with a smirk.

"Well, we both sweat when we…" She says.

"That doesn't count." He laughs.

"Fine, have it your way but don't come complaining to me when Coach yells at you for being lazy." She replies.

While they are talking somewhere in the middle of the running teens Isaac has caught up to the twins and engaged them in a fight. One he is steadily loosing with the twins only playing with him. They however only get to deliver a few punches before their focus is shifted to Lydia screaming loudly.

|moments before back with Lydia and Scott|

"Hey, Lyds where are you going?" Scott asks his girlfriend, who like in a trance splits off from the path and walks towards a tree with Scott following her confused until they both find the guy who went missing from the vet last night with his head bashed in, throat cut and a garotte wrapped around his throat and the tree he's fixed to and Lydia lets out a hallowing scream, causing Scott to hold his ears in pain.

"Lydia, calm down." Scott tells her, grasping her hand and pulling her into his chest with her clinging to his torso.

The teens running the track all gather at the scene and Stiles walks up to Scott who's still consoling the confused redhead.

"It's him isn't it?" He asks and gets a nod from the alpha in return.

Not long after Noah Stilinski arrives at the scene.

"Hey, get out of the way, get back. Get this area corded off before they trample every piece of evidence." Noah says and one of his officers tells the teens who've gathered to get away from the crime scene.

"Hey dad, look it's the same as the others, see?" Stiles tells his father.

"Yeah, I see that. Now do me a favor and get back to school. OK? Coach, can you give us a hand here?" Noah asks.

"You heard the man, nothing to see here. Probably just some homeless kid." Coach announces.

"Coach, he was a senior." Scott informs the teacher.

"Ugh, he wasn't on the team was he?" He asks.

"Did you see the way the twins looked at him?" Isaac asks Scott, who's walking away from the corpse while holding Lydia's hand with Stiles following them.

"You mean like they have no idea what happened?" Stiles asks.

"Nah, they know." Isaac disagrees.

"He was strangled with a garotte, am I the only one seeing the lack of were wolf-attude in this murder?" Stiles asks.

"Well they turn up and people just start dying?" Isaac asks.

"I still don't think it's them. Scott?" Stiles replies, looking at the alpha with Isaac and Scott faces the two.

"I don't know yet." Scott tells them.

"You don't know?" Stiles asks.

"He's got a point. Seriously dude, human sacrifices?" Scott says.

"Scott, your eye s turn into red glowsticks, you get feathers plastered all over your head and you are having trouble grasping human sacrifices?" Stiles asks him.

"That's a good point too. Let's not start a fight yet if we don't know they are involved. We should talk to Deaton." Scott suggests.

"I don't care. Even if they didn't kill that kid, they still killed that girl which saved me and they killed Erica. And I'm going to kill them in return." Isaac tells them, walking ahead of them.

"And that guy is your new best friend?" Stiles asks Scott.

"He's different, ever since the alpha's almost killed him. But can you blame the guy?" Scott tells Stiles.

"Can we just leave? I've seen enough corpses the last days in my opinion." Lydia says.

"Yeah, come on let's go." Scott agrees and wraps his arm around Lydia and they walk back to the bus they arrived in.

|at school|

"Isaac, don't let it get to you. They are just trying to piss you off to get to you." Scott tells his friend while they go to Isaac's locker.

"It's not just me." Isaac says, nodding over to Lydia who's talking to Aiden and Scott immediately walks over to the two, overhearing what they're saying while having to focus in order not to lose control.

"What about tonight?" Aiden asks her.

"No and how about you run along before he gets angry." Lydia tells him with a smirk, nodding over to Scott who eyes Aiden with his eyes flickering back and forth from red to his usual brown.

"Look, I won't start anything with you if you really want to go to school here and aren't playing an angle. If you are however don't be surprised if you and your brother will be my first kill." Scott warns Aiden and leaves, pulling Lydia along behind him.

"Lydia, I told you be careful of them. They may not seem like much but they're still alphas." Scott tells her concerned.

"Scott. I know that, but what can I do? I can't exactly kick him in the balls without having to give an explanation." She tells him.

"I know, I'm just worried about you." He tells her.

"I'd worry less about me and more about yourself. Your eyes are still glowing." She tells him, patting his cheek and heads to her next class.

"Wait, Lyds. Are we still on for tonight?" He asks her, having made plans to start teaching her how to defend herself.

"Yeah." She says wondering why he's even asking.

Issac smirks at Scott, who joins him at his locker.

"What?" Scott asks.

"They're getting to you." Isaac says.

"Way to state the obvious." Scott replies.

"So what are we going to do about it?" Isaac asks, presenting his claws as a suggestion.

"Nothing yet. I gave them a warning, it's up to them now." Scott tells him, patting Isaac's shoulder and walks to his next class.

Meanwhile Stiles is waiting for the victims girlfriend to give the police a statement in one of the school's offices and when she has finished he pulls her aside and asks her if her boyfriend was a virgin for which he gets slapped across the face and left standing confused in the hallway with her telling him that Kyle wasn't a virgin.

Noah then lectures Stiles, because he thinks that Stiles doesn't realize the seriousness of the situation.

At lunchtime detention Isaac and Allison get paired to restock the janitor's closet. Allison having gotten detention because she fell asleep during class and Isaac because the twins pretended that Isaac beat up Ethan.

"Are you OK?" Allison asks Isaac when she sees him nervously checking the door behind them while they are in the small janitor's closet.

"Yeah, I'm just not a big fan of small spaces." Isaac replies.

"Can I ask you a question?" Allison asks.

"Do you have to?" He asks, not being a big fan of her.

"I guess not but I'm gonna ask anyways. Did you tell anyone that I was at the vault the other night?" She asks.

"Was I supposed to?" He asks.

"It'd make me really happy if you didn't." She tells him.

"Yeah well, you being happy isn't really that big of a priority of mine, since you stabbed me like 20 times with knifes." Isaac reminds her.

"They were actually Chinese ring daggers. But… I'm sorry." She says.

"Oh, was that an apology?" He asks cockily.

"Would you accept an apology?" She asks doubtful and the door suddenly gets closed behind them, trapping them inside.

Isaac goes to the door and tries to push it open to no avail.

He then starts to freak out and first knocks on the door helplessly before he starts to punch at it desperately with Allison trying to get him to calm down with no success.

Isaac starts to turn and is about to attack Allison when the door opens and Scott pulls him outside, restraining him by wrapping his arms around the boy from behind with his alpha strength, giving him no room to move.

"Isaac!" Scott yells at him, his eyes glowing red and the young werewolf calms down, cowering in a corner and apologizes to Allison, who tells them that she's fine, having gotten two very light scratches on her arm from when Isaac attacked her.

"It's not his fault." Allison tells Scott, still being unsure about the young alpha after he revealed that her mother was turned while trying to kill Scott.

"Well at least we now know they aren't here for classes." Scott says.

"So are we going to do something?" Isaac asks, having clamed down enough to think straight.

"Yeah, I'm gonna get them angry. Real angry." Scott says, his eyes lighting up red.

While all of this is happening,Derek and Cora were catching up when their reunion gets interrupted by the alphas, Kali, Enis and Deucalion entering Derek's loft.

Enis quickly incapacitated Cora and Derek then gets beaten up by Kali, who stabs him through the chest with a pipe she rips of his wall and Deucalion tells him what they want from him, which is to kill his own pack and join their ranks in the alpha pack.

|At school|

Before the next period Allison, Scott and Isaac sabotage one of the twins motorcycle, removing some parts from them and Allison shorts the other one and instructs Isaac how to operate the vehicle, sending Scott, who has class with the two a picture of Isaac on the motorcycle.

Scott sits down next to the twins and gives them a wide grin, pulling out a piece and twirls it around.

"That looks kind of important. And I have no idea what this thing does." Scott tells them, pulling out another piece.

"Aiden don't!" Ethan tells his brother, who jumps up and sprints out of the room.

Isaac rides the motorcycle through the school, stopping in front of the angry teen who yells "get off my bike!" at him.

"No problem." Isaac says and flips over him, pretending to casually walk down the hallway and join the crowd gathering because of the noise.

"You have got to be kidding me. You realize that this means a suspension." Jessica tells Aiden with Ethan looking to Scott who smirks at him to show them that he's not backing down.

In the meantime Stiles went to Deaton to get some answers about the sacrifices and he gets called by Lydia, who knows that Scott is dealing with the twins at the moment but she found out who the next missing person is, having wondered to the music class while the teacher doesn't show up.

Deaton informs them about the pattern and Stiles figures out that the next threefold deaths are about warriors, finding a picture of the music teacher in the army in his desk.

Stiles then figures he should call Boyd since he also went to the army training camp Kyle went to.

"Lydia is something wrong?" Deaton asks the redhead, who looks thoughtful.

"Well no, it's just I thought of someone else with military connection." She replies and informs them that Harris replacement was in the army.

The three go over to the teachers class and see his stuff sitting at the desk abandoned.

"He could just have gone home." Stiles suggests.

"With a half-eaten apple sitting on his desk? I don't think so." Lydia disagrees.

"Wait, this is weird. He graded the test H." Stiles says, seeing the graded paper.

"And this one R." Lydia says, holding up another test.

Deaton grabs the tests on the desk and orders them so they spell out Darach, which means Dark Oak, an evil Druid.

Elsewhere in the school Issac and Scott have finished practice and are walking down the hallway.

"Man I wish I taken a picture of their faces. They looked seriously pissed." Isaac says.

"Yeah kinda like that." Scott agrees and they see the twins suddenly standing in their way, glaring at them.

The twins suddenly nod to each other and take their shirts off. One of them crouches down in front of the other, who grabs his back and the two fuse together, forming their hulking werewolf form, with a cut going down the middle of their body.

"We can take them." Isaac says, throwing his bag aside and gets ready for a fight.

"Isaac. Stand down." Scott tells him and the twins charge at him and Isaac.

Scott pushes Isaac aside, waiting for the twins to come to him. When they grab for him, to choke him Scott falls back, catching himself on his hands and kicks at one of the werewolf's knees, causing him to fall down with Scott jumping to the side and readying himself for a fight, gaining his were-eagle features of beak, feathers and Talons. The combined werewolf growls at him even more angry and quickly gets up, slashing at Scott, who blocks the first swing, only to get send into the lockers next to him with enough force to dent them.

He rolls to the side to dodge the foot aimed at his chest and pushes off the lockers, sliding across the floor and jumps back up, ready to attack with his wings sprouting from his back when the twins suddenly quiet down and lose their combination, standing wordlessly in the hallway while Deucalion with his foldable blind stick walks past him and stands in front of the two, takes off the cap of his stick and slashes them across the cheek with the silver blade at the tip of the stick.

"Wait. What do you want from us?" Scott asks Deucalion.

"I think that is already quite obvious isn't it Scott, and if not then ask Derek." Deucalion says never turning to face the were-eagle who loses his transformation gradually and walks out of the school with the twins following him quietly.

"Who the hell was that?" Isaac asks.

"Deucalion." Scott tells him, checking his hand to see if the Talon's have disappeared completely.

"Come on let's get out of here. And tell Derek to text me." Scott tells him and they both head to their respective homes.

When Isaac gets to Derek's loft Derek kicks him out, purposefully treating him like shit so he'll leave without raising questions.

|evening – McCall house|

"So, where is your mom?" Lydia asks Scott, entering his home, dressed in a red training suit.

"She's taking a shift at the hospital." Scott replies.

"Hmm, sounds good." Lydia says wrapping her arm around Scott's neck.

"Yeah it does, but we need to get started on teaching you to defend yourself, especially with the twins having it out for us even more." Scott tells her.

"Isn't that kinda your fault?" She asks.

"Well… Look Allison got hurt during their prank do you really disagree that they needed to be taught a lesson?" Scott asks her.

"No. I'm just trying to get out of this." She says.

"Lyds. Please, do this for me." Scott begs her.

"Alright, I knew one of these days your puppy dog eyes will be the end of me." Lydia says dramatically and stands across from Scott in his living room, where he pushed the furniture aside and layed out some mats.

"So what are we doing?" She asks.

"Well, first of all you're learning how to stand." Scott says.

"What?" She asks annoyed.

"Here, put this leg forward and this leg is angled this way. Now raise your arms and there." Scott says, grabbing her legs and arms, putting them in a basic fighting stance.

"Now what?" She asks dropping her arms.

"Arms back up." He berates her.

"Now, since I'm more suited for attacking I'll teach you how to throw a punch, hopefully Argent will help you learn how to defend against one." Scott tells her.

"Hmpf." She grunts in acceptance.

Scott then teaches her the very basics of fighting, not wanting to over do it since he knows that Lydia would shut him out otherwise and ignore his teachings.

"Now, that wasn't so hard was it?" Scott asks her.

"No, but what's the point of that if I have this?" Lydia asks, getting the claw-knife he gifted her out of her purse.

"Well, what if the person is wearing armor?" Scott suggested.

"If I'm up against someone wearing armor I'm running and screaming my lungs off for help." She tells him with a deadpan expression.

"Yeah, In your case that might not be so bad." Scott says.

"What do you mean?" She inquires

"Well sometimes when you scream it's like when I screech or Derek howls, only 4 times louder. I think it has to do with you being a banshee, whatever that means." Scott tells her.

"Great, so I'm a corpses finding girl with a loud scream. Yipee. I'd rather be normal and not deal with finding corpses all the time without realizing it." She says, sounding exhausted.

Scott only looks at her guiltily and sits down beside her on the couch.

"What?" She asks him, seeing him look down guiltily.

"Well, if I hadn't told you about me maybe you wouldn't have to deal with whatever is happening to you." Scott says quietly.

"Scott, Peter would've bitten me either way because he needed me to revive him, if anything I've made things difficult for you. Like when you drained my powers to deal with Peter instead of me…" She tells him, taking his hands into hers.

"Now, let's think happier thoughts. We're all alone. It's pouring outside and what are the chances someone will come over in this weather?" She tells him suggestively, putting his hands on her thighs and leaning in and kissing him.

The doorbell suddenly rings and the two break their lip lock disappointed.

"So much for that." Scott says, getting up and pulling the grumpy Lydia after him while they go to his front door.

"Isaac?" Scott asks, letting the wet teen, standing in the rain inside.

"I was wondering if I could ask you a favor." He says, holding his bag nervously.

"What?" Lydia asks expectantly.

"Hi Lydia, direct as always I see." Isaac greets the redhead.

"Scott, can I stay here for a while? Derek kicked me out." Isaac asks.

"Sure, I'll talk to my mom tomorrow, but I don't see why not." Scott agrees.

"Thanks." Isaac says happily, giving Scott a hug.

"Leave it to Derek to ruin the mood." Lydia says and goes upstairs to Scott's room.

"What's she talking about?" Isaac asks confused.

"Don't mind her. Come on I'll show you to the guest room." Scott tells him and leads him to the mostly empty room that belonged to his father a long time ago.

"Well goodnight and if you need anything I'd refrain from entering my room. Lydia can be a little, let's say brusquely and I'm not keen on you peeping on my girlfriend even on accident either." Scott tells Isaac and leaves the room, heading to his down the hall.

"So I'm brusquely?" Lydia asks expectantly, already lying down on his bed and being in the process of taking off her shirt, already having put on some shorts to sleep in.

"You know what I mean. Or do you want Isaac to ogle you while you sleep?" Scott asks her, taking off his shirt and pants before joining her on his bed.

"If you continue to order me around I might." She tells him.

"Lyds, I only want you to learn to defend yourself, so you are safe. Are you really faulting me for that?" He asks, kissing her across her collarbone.

"No, but sometimes I just wonder if we could go back to how we started. You know, you being submissive. Me getting my way and getting treated like a goddess." She says.

"Are you saying I'm not treating you well enough?" He asks, and nibbles on her ear while caressing her hands.

"No, but I like being in charge and since you became an alpha I've grown more and more reliant on you. Granted it was for the best, but I just wish I could be more you know? All I do is find corpses." Lydia tells him, pushing back against his hands and getting in his lap, not losing the contact of their hands.

"Lydia, look I'm sure we'll figure out how your powers work sooner or later, but you are more than your supernatural powers babe or did you forget that the only reason I'm not the Kanima 2.0 is because of this?" He asks her, nodding to his tattoo.

"Also without your knowledge and your help none of us would be alive right now because Gerard would've killed us all." Scott reminds her.

"You might not be on the front line but without you the front line will crumble." Scott tells her, brushing her hair and giving her a loving kiss.

"And If you want to be dominant, I'm sure there are a few ways we can make that happen." He whispers into her ear, with a grin while taking her hand and moving it to his neck.

"Oh, are you offering?" She asks with a grin.

"I don't think now is the best timing, Isaac's a werewolf remember. I don't think he heard us just now but we both know from recent experience that once we get going it's getting loud." Scott reminds her.

"Aww, you tease." She says annoyedly and gets off his lap, lying down next to him, wrapping his arm around her.
