“Well… What’s so bad about him?” Dakota questioned, tilting her head. She got off the bike and puts down the helmet before following him. “People like us-” The girl shook her head. “I wanted to know just about everything. I mean… My alpha was pretty shitty at teaching and all I know is most of the control thing but other than that…”
Scott laughed. “What’s so bad about Peter Hale?” Scott chuckled again; what a silly question. “Peter Hale was the man who made me into all of this.” Scott threw his arms out with a flourish and led the girl further into the woods. “He was rabid, broken out of the hospital after being pretty much comatose, and went on a vengeance run. It wasn’t pretty and a lot of people died. No matter how many times we kill Peter Hale, we never really kill Peter Hale.” Scott sighed and shoved his hands into his pockets. “And he didn’t teach me anything.” Scott turned to Dakota, flashing alpha red eyes at her and grinning. Let her make her own assumptions. “And he definitely never taught me this.”
“It’ll be easy to find Cora.” Ever since she decided to stay in Beacon Hills, Derek had her scent memorized. It’d take a few seconds to find her if that. “If I knew who they were do you think I’d be standing here right now?” Grunting, he leaned against a wall. “Again, if I knew why would I be asking you for your input?” He still wasn’t entirely sure that it wasn’t Peter behind this, because if it was it wouldn’t be a surprise to anyone.
“You’re being antsy and it’s harshing my mellow,” Scott grumbled and shoved his hands into his pockets as he peered around the backyard gathering of his peers. He could get why Derek was moderately freaking out, yellow eyes that would haunt him for a lifetime and he could only imagine what Derek had seen. “So let’s go get Cora and round up everyone else. We’re no use to figuring out who did this if we can’t thing straight.” Scott blew out a harsh breath. “This is why you need to smoke.”
Dakota bit her lip. “Look, this is why I came to you. Apparently you’re some fantastic alpha. And I don’t have a clue who this Peter Hale is, but he seems to need just as much help as I do.” She held onto him tighter when he made the turn, closing her eyes. Now that she knew her brains could splatter all on the pavement and it would be the end of her, she was a bit nervous. “So… Where are you taking me? And are you going to judge me with every question I ask because it’s really not comforting to someone who is currently freaked out of their mind.”
“You don’t know to know, or meet, Peter Hale,” Scott grumbled and reved the engine, taking them towards the woods. It was the only place safe to talk about things like this, things like them. “Were going to the place were people like us are made,” he laughed, lighter as he thought about the connotation of it, taking her to the place where Peter Hale recreated his life. “Come on, then.” Scott stopped the bike at the edge of the woods where he usually did, making his way into the woods without a trail. “What do you want to know?”
“How the hell is he going to see you? Does he have a spy cam or something?” She rolled her eyes, half playfully, half slightly annoyed. Hopefully he wasn’t always like this. She took the helmet back and put it on her head, making sure it was secure. “I could just heal, couldn’t I?” It was an honest question. She was taught just enough control but still had plenty of questions and nobody to ask. Until now, that is. Just as he started the bike and almost drove away without her, she hopped on behind him, wrapping her arms around his middle tightly. “Whoa there!”
Was she fucking kidding? Seriously? Scott didn’t know whether to laugh or stare at her in abject horror. “Despite what Peter Hale thinks, you’re not immortal and if your brains end up on the sidewalk, they aren’t just going to walk back into your skull and heal. So you wear the damn helmet.” He did in fact roll his eyes at her, despite the fact that she couldn’t see him, and turned right at the next stoplight, taking them towards the preserve.
“Like who?” Derek questioned, still slightly out of it. “You and Cora are the only ones I know are here.” He stated, still looking around for any duration of a glimpse he could get of Laura. “Lydia said she thought it was a distraction. To drug the pack here so they could easily do whatever they wanted.” It was a statement, but even more-so a question. He was subtly asking Scott his opinion, because he trusted him. He didn’t trust Lydia at this point.
“I don’t know,”Scott shrugged trying to think of everyone who was here. Stiles had to be somewhere, flashes of something he didn’t see, didn’t want to see. “We’ll find Cora, see if she’s seen anyone else around.” It made sense, what Derek was saying, the problem was the who and the why. Whatever was here in Beacon Hills had yet to make itself known and a prank like this seemed like nothing more than an annoying prank. Of course to Derek, to people who had more demons than Scott, it was probably worse, but Scott found it nothing more than annoying. “That sounds like something whoever this is would do, but that’s what I want to know,” Scott shook his head. “Who are they? And why a parlor trick like this?”
“If you’re skipping, what’s the rush?” Dakota scoffed, running until she caught up with him. She moved to his side, crossing her arms. “You need to relax.” As soon as she got to the bike, she grinned. “Holy shit-” It didn’t take her long to snort at him, pushing the helmet away. “I definitely don’t need that. Maybe we should just walk?” To be honest, she wasn’t all too sure about being on a bike with him. She had little to no information about who he was and that made her a little bit defensive. In her head, he could be a murderer, a rapist, a… The list was almost never ending. “Or I can take my own car.”
“The point is to leave before my chem teacher sees me,” he grumbled and turned to glare at her as she laughed and tried to hand him back the helmet. “I don’t care who or what you are, being special won’t save your life when you crack your head open on the asphalt.” He pushed the key into the ignition and sighed loudly. I’m not leaving my bike here, I’m not going to murder you. Hang on because we’re going now.” He smirked slightly as he pushed forward and drove out of the parking lot, not giving her much choice about coming with him or not.
Dakota sighed, rubbing her face. “ No- Scott-” She shook her head again, adjusting her backpack on her shoulders. “I really don’t want you to skip school. We should really wait until after or somethi-” Once he started to walk away, she went silent. It took her a few seconds to make a decision but in the end, she jogged after him. “Hey, wait up for me.”
He didn’t want to wait for her, for whatever had to be this important to miss AP chem. “How about you hurry up, you should be fast enough.” Whatever she was and whatever this is could hurry up, so he didn’t slow down, feeling antsy like he needed a cup of coffee, he knew where their first stop would be. Pushing the front doors to the school open, Scott sighed. Being outside was better than being in class, but AP chem.. “Helmet,” he said, passing it to her as they reached his bike and he climbed on. “C’mon.”
Lydia huffed and smiled up at him, “Thanks, again.” she said, brushing a red curl behind her ear. She lifted an eyebrow and pursed her lips slightly, “I’m not alone, I’m with you.” she retorted, a playful tone to her voice. “But, you ran alone before the break out at Eichen. You have to be careful,” her voice shifted into a more serious tone. She didn’t want anything to happen to Scott.
“Okay,” Scott said, shoving his hands into his pockets. “Then we’re going to take your walk, together.” He wasn’t backing down on that one, the idea of Lydia walking through the woods along grated on him slightly. “And I remember the last time you took a walk alone through the woods. Naked,” he mimicked her serious tone with one of her own. He would skip on his run today, besides, he hadn’t spoken to Lydia in awhile.
“You don’t like me having a good day and smiing?” He shook his head with a chuckle. Kieran arched a brow at the younger male, a bit caught off guard with the question. “Like a girl’s g-spot? I..think it exists. Have you ever considered looking it up on Google?” Was this really what the two talked about? It was very strange.
Scott’s fingers twitched at Derek’s answer: incorrect. Not that he knew if it was right or not, the existing part, but the hesitance in his voice and the ‘think’ in the sentence was off. Very off. As was his smell, now that Scott was thinking about it. It wasn’t diluted anger seeped in guilt with a hint of annoyance and perhaps the usual affection he could sense at Scott’s dumb questions, which was why he continued to ask them. “So,” Scott narrowed his eyes at the.. person in front of him, the not Derek, “who are you? What do you want?”
“Not really. I suppose it’d be easier at night, less people around but during the day you’re more likely to look less suspicious in the woods,” Lukas replied, shrugging as if his response was perfectly normal. “A run in the woods? You like the scenery or just running with the wolves?”
“I think people around here are used to seeing me in the woods and it lost novelty a long time ago. You, on the other hand, not so sure.” Scott pursed his lips as he tried to decipher what this kid was actually doing out in the woods. “Running with wolves is kind of what I do.” Scott quirked an eyebrow at the boy, wondering what comment that would evoke. “You never did say why you were out here.”
Lydia had first taken interest in Scott when she realized he was better at lacrosse than Jackson, and the fact that Allison had taken interest in him, but they had come a long way since then. Scott telling her that they needed him meant a lot–especially considering there was a point in time Lydia felt every single one of them drifting away from her in the name of protecting her. “Thanks, Scott.” She said. “You’re a great alpha,” she said with a small smile “A really great leader.” She said, before she glanced around at the woods, “Though taking a run through the woods alone with unknown creatures lurking out there? Not so smart.”
If someone were to ask, Scott would tell them his female best friend was Lydia Martin. If they were to ask again, what her favorite food was or her favorite movie, Scott would be unable to answer those questions. However, if prompted, Scott would tell them he would trust Lydia Martin with his life and if you knew Scott McCall, that meant something. “I don’t try to be any of those things,” Scott shrugged at her words, “just a great friend, which you are and a good person.” Shoving his hands into his pockets, he laughed softly. “I always run alone, it’s the only time I get to myself. Besides if I shouldn’t be running alone, you shouldn’t be walking alone.”
Derek huffed and started to listen for Cora’s voice. Whatever was happening here affected werewolves and they needed to get out. Preferably before someone died. “Thanks for the help.” Not.
He could see the annoyance in Derek’s eyes and he held back a sigh. There was a flash of something off to the side again, high toiling laughter that sounded like Stiles and he could see amber eyes. How perfectly wrong that was. If that’s what he saw, he supposed he could imagine what Derek was seeing, what Cora would see. He blinked, his visions didn’t hurt, but he knew theirs might. “Alright Derek, let’s round up the troops, yeah?”
