The Lost Hunter ⚜ Sophomore Year [Crossover Fanfiction]

Chapter 24 ⚜ Lunar Ellipse

In the animal clinic, Towel pulled tight around his shoulders, Stiles shakes his head at Scott "No, dude. You're not going back to them."

Scott says "I made a deal with Deucalion." 

Stiles says "Anybody else think that sounded a lot like "deal with the Devil." I don't know about you guys, but I've heard that situation doesn't usually come with a happy ending."

Isaac asks "Why's it matter anyway?"

Scott says "Because I still don't think we can beat Jennifer without their help."

Allison to Deaton "He trusts you more than any of us. Tell him he's wrong."

Deaton says "I'm not so sure he is. Circumstances like this sometimes require you to align yourself with people you'd normally consider enemies"

Isaac says "We're supposed to trust him? The guy who calls himself Death, destroyer of worlds."

Deaton says "I wouldn't trust him, no. But you could certainly use him to your advantage."

Scott says "If we find our parents and Jennifer's there waiting for us, no one's getting out alive. We need help."

I wonder "What if we could distract her?" 

Scott says "She wants Deucalion. Nothing's going to distract her from that." 

Deaton says "Then build a plan that involves him. Deucalion may be an enemy. But he can also be the bait." Deaton approaches Scott, lowering his voice."Part of being a leader is trusting the ones who follow you to do their part." 

Scott looks to his friends, each of us ready to risk our lives. Finally, he nods in agreement "Okay. Then we better come up with a really good plan. Really fast."

The sound of the front door opening interrupts them. Following Deaton, we look out to the waiting room to see Ethan standing just behind the gate "I'm looking for Lydia."

I step out from behind the others "What do you want?"

Ethan says "I need your help." 

Stiles protective "With what?"

Ethan says "Stopping my brother and Kali..." turning his eyes to Scott "From killing Derek."

In Derek's loft, I'm by his side, Ethan tentatively approaches Derek. Behind us, Peter and Cora keep a careful eye on the twin, prepared to defend themselves.

Ethan says "We know about the lunar eclipse. So don't think Kali's going to sit around waiting for it to level the playing field. She's coming. And my brother's coming with her."

Peter says "Good enough for me. Derek, let's get you out of here."

Derek asks "You want me to run?"
