Hayley McCall The Last Labonair

Chapter Twelve: Code-Breaker

Derek and I are still tied up below the Hale house when I hear Scott howling. I look over at Derek who looks over at me and he nods. We both turn into our wolf forms and we both howl. The guy walks over to the light turning it on. Derek and I look up at him. "Ready to have some more fun? To be honest, my knuckles are kind of hurting. So I brought some help." He holds up a wooden bat. "But I need to warn ya. I used to play in college." The guy said before taking a swing at Derek who thanks to Scott had one hand unchained. Derek grabs the bat before it can hit him. "I brought a little help too." Derek said and the guy looks behind him at where Scott is now standing. Since the guy is distracted Derek punches him in the face making him hit the wall knocking him out.

Scott is helping me get unchained. As soon as I get one hand free I take the thing that's tapped to my side off. I get the other free and I fall to the ground before standing up. "Scott, help me with this." Derek said "No." Scott said "What?" Derek asked "Not until you tell me how to stop Peter." Scott said "You really wanna talk about this right now?" Derek asked "He's going after Allison and her family. He's going to kill them." Scott said "So what?" Derek and I ask in sync. "So tell me how to stop him." Scott said "You can't! All right? Now - I don't know when Kate's coming back, so just get me out of this right now! Get me out right now!" Derek exclaimed and I go to walk towards him but Scott grabs me and holds me back. "Promise you'll help me." Scott said "You want me to risk my life for your girlfriend? For your stupid little teenage crush that means absolutely nothing? You're not in love, Scott. You're 16 years old. You're a child." Derek said and I look away trying not to laugh.

"Maybe you're right. But I know something you don't." I look back towards them. "Peter said he didn't know what he was doing when he killed your sister, right? He lied. Remember this?" Scott holds up the paper that has the deer with the spiral on it. "This is what brought your sister back to beacon hills, right?" Scott asked still holding up the paper. "Where did you get that?" Derek asked "My boss told me three months ago someone came into the clinic asking for a copy of this picture. Do you wanna know who it was? Peter's nurse. They brought your sister here so that Peter could kill her and become the Alpha, and that's why you're going to help me. Just say you'll help me, and I'll help you unlock your other -" Scott starts walking away and I go to help Derek but he gets out of it himself. Scott looks back at him. "I'll help you." Derek said

We walk back towards the Hale house. I feel like something isn't right and I can tell Derek does too. "Hey. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on." Derek and I stop. "Something doesn't feel right." Derek said "What do you mean?" Scott asked "I don't know. It's - it's kind of like it's -" I start to say before Scott cuts me off. "No, don't say "too easy." People say "too easy" and bad things happen. What, do you think finding you was easy? Getting away from Allison's dad? None of this has been easy." Scott said "Fine. You're right." Derek said "Thank you." Scott said and then Derek gets shot in the shoulder with an arrow. "The hell?" I look around and I see Allison and Kate. "Of fucking course." I say

"Now the leg." Allison shoots Derek in the leg. I rush up to beside Scott. "Flash bolt." Kate said and I quickly hide my eyes. "Scott, your eyes!" Derek yelled "Now." Kate said and I hear the flash and both Derek and Scott groaning. I uncover my eyes and run over to Derek helping him break the arrows. Once we get them broke we run back over to Scott. "Get up! Let's go!" Derek said as we both drag Scott towards the house. Derek falls as we're dragging Scott. "Scott, Hayley, go!" Derek yelled and Scott starts moving backwards and I walk backwards and I see Allison walking towards us which makes Scott stop and I look at him. "Scott, really?" I ask

"Allison, I can explain." Scott said "Stop lying. For once stop lying." Allison said "Bitch." I say
"I was gonna tell you the truth at the formal. I was gonna tell you everything. Because everything that I said, everything that I did-" Scott said before Allison cut him off. "Was to protect me." Allison said "Yes." Scott said "I don't believe you." Allison said "Thank God. Now, shoot him before I have to shoot myself." Kate said and I turn and growl at them both. "Kate you touch my brother I will claw your throat out and then maybe I'll move on to your pretty little niece." I say snarling at them.
