The Fallen ➵Lahey

//In which she enjoys the thrill of the kill//

"My boyfriend is in the hospital which is traumatizing enough yet you want me to face the person who got me in this whole mess in the first place?"Layla questions with anger as the three girls stand outside Derek Hale's loft, well aware of who waits inside.

"Don't be such a baby"Lydia says getting ready to open the door but Allison stops her.

"While it's smart to bring me with you, I still think the rest is totally insane"Allison says.

"I tried to find Stiles and I led everyone into a mental institution. I call that a colossal failure. Ahem"Lydia responds as Layla practices her facial expressions for Peter behind the two. She can't decide between her Derek Hale 'I don't give a shit expression' or her Erica Reyes 'I'm a bad bitch now step aside' expression. "Erica"she whispers to herself agreeing with that option.

"Look I just need to figure this out and he's the only one offering help"Lydia sighs.

"Peter doesn't offer help. He offers a chance for you to be manipulated into giving him what he wants"Allison fires back.

"Fine. Let's see what he wants"Lydia says sliding the door open and Layla stands straight with confidence in her posture even though her feelings are far from it. Peter is spotted staring out the glass window. "The hunter and the Banshees. Ladies, come in"he says turning to face them. The girls walk in and shut the door behind them. All three stop in front of the table Peter is behind.

"She goes."He says looking at Allison and Layla laughs humorlessly.

"The last time we were alone with you. We almost bled out on a lacrosse field"Lydia says.

"She stays"Layla speaks.

"Do you actually think I was trying to kill you when I bit you? You were my backup plan, remember? Not to mention the bite is what brought out your nascent abilities. You think power like that was going to come out on it's own?" he clicks his tongue.

"I'm the spark that lit your fire, sweetheart"he says cockily and Layla clenches her fist.

"And I'll be the spark that lit you ass on fire"she mouths off earning a silent chuckle from Peter.

"You attacked them and nearly killed them"Alli says not falling for Peters games.

"Power doesn't come without a little pain and struggle".

"Neither one of us asked for it"Lydia says.

"But you're embracing it now, aren't you? More than Layla in fact. Tsk, tsk, my sweet Layla. From the innocent flower to the poisonous blood flower. Beautiful to look at but dangerous to touch"Peter teases making her blood run cold. She can practically feel his hand caressing her cheek

"How about the fact that you brainwashed them and used them to bring yourself back to life?"Allison questions with sass as Layla relaxes.

"So that I could be here today to help you master your abilities. Isn't it amazing how things come full circle?"he questions with a smile.

"Okay. I'm done"Layla says walking towards the loft door.

"Not so fast. I won't help anyone unless you're here too. Your Beta can wait"he says and she clenches her fist.

"Such a tragic about him. I actually liked the kid. At least on the bright side him and I will have more in common"Peter says and Layla walks towards the table.

"I don't care what you think you can do. You're a monster, Peter. You killed your niece for power that you lost anyways. You attacked my sister and I. I'm still traumatized. I have a scar on my body that will always be a reminder. My boyfriend doesn't even like to shift in front of me because he thinks he'll scare me. You use everyone for your own selfish ways and it gets you no where. You Peter Hale have lost everyone that cared for you even the ones who are still alive. You manipulate and cause pain for everyone around you for your benefit and that, Peter Hale, is what makes you a monster"Layla finishes screaming as she slams her hands on the table making Lydia and Allison jump. Layla's pale skin now a bright red.
