Beautiful Monsters

Part 7

Danny had arrived and told me he wanted to work with Stiles quickly. I let it happen and continued making pancakes for dinner and his caramel fudge as a thanks for the help in econ. He secretly told me the answers as we wrote a test. 

Danny came and collected his fudge as dad came in. Then headed to my room. I was about to head there as well when I caught a wolf scent. Thinking it was Peter trying to attack Stiles, I climbed out of my bathroom window and snuck around to Stiles' bedroom window. He barely remembered to lock it, so I swung in and landed right behind Stiles who screamed. 

Once I didn't realise the face I was busy looking at I pulled my gun out and stepped infront of Stiles. 

"Alex! Homework!" Danny yelled, probably knowing I had just scared Stiles. 

"She's just greeting Miguel, our cousin!" Stiles yelled at him and I frowned. 

"We don't have a Mexican cousin, so tell me Stiles. Why do you have a werewolf in your room?" I started my interrogation.

"How'd you know he's a werewolf?" Stiles tried to throw me off track. 

"I have my ways. You have 5 seconds before I shoot him in the head." I threatened, putting my finger at the trigger. The man growled, eyes flashing blue. 

"Alex, this is Derek Hale. He's been helping us." Stiles stated. 

My eyes started tearing up, but I didn't falter with my aim. "Why are you still aiming at him?" Stiles asked and I sighed: "All of the Hale family, exluding Peter Hale, are dead. There's not supposed to be any other Hales in Beacon." 

"It's your scent in his hospital room," Derek stated. 

"If your really Derek Hale... tell me one thing only he would know," I demanded making the man smirk. 

"Well... Apart from the fact that you had your first kiss in front of our house?" I held a hand up and said: "That does not count! Something else, please. A lot of people know that story." 

"There's the thing about your mother..." he trailed off and I widened my eyes. "Shut up. How are you even alive?" My gun finally lowered. 

"I was at school, doing an extra credit project." He answered then added: "You changed a lot." 

"So did you, Mr. Big and Broody." I sarcastically added. 

"ALEX HOMEWORK!!" Danny yelled and I ran to help him.  

Helping Danny was easy. He struggled in Chem which was one of my strong suits, I picked up the art of mixing chemicals for hunting. Afterwards, Danny noticed my phone glitching, and asked the obvious question. 

"Who did you hack? I thought we were done with it?" 

Scratching my neck, I answered: "I got an odd text from Jackson that he swears he didn't send. So I just checked it out." 

He nodded and turned to my computer. "So what do you need my help with?" 

I smiled. "I need to activate a tracker on one IP idress and find the location of another." 

"I'm good with activating, you track." he stated and I gave him a side hug. "Thanks." 

That was how we spent our night until Danny had to get to the lacrosse game. 

I felt bad, but I knew where Stiles was going to be. Both of us were going to ditch the game and I was totally fine with that.

I arrived at the hospital just a second to late, Derek and Peter were about to fight and Stiles was in the middle of it. I glared and casually walked in-between them. Peter looked amused, Derek looked surprised and Stiles hugged me, thankful I saved him.
