OF DEATH AND LIFE

The Overlooked

"Derek? Derek, where are you?", Ms. Blake yelled out for her current boyfriend. "Right here."

"Thank God.", Ms. Blake sighed and ran into his arms.

Scott, Stiles and Elaine were hiding and listening to them. They had arrived before the woman and had told Derek everything. "Something happened at the Recital. At the School. Okay, I need to tell you before you hear it, before you hear any of it from them.", Ms. Blake began, frantic.

"From who?", Derek asked confused.

"Scott, Stiles, Elaine. They're gonna tell you things. Things you can't believe. You have to trust me, okay? You trust me."

"What is it?", Derek continued to pretend.

"Promise you'll listen to me."

"I promise." Ms. Blake went in for a kiss. While kissing Derek she realized she was already too late. "They're already here, aren't they?", she asked when she pulled back from Derek, her attitude having changed drastically. Scott, Stiles and Elaine came out of hiding.

"So... They told you it was me? That I'm the one taking people?"

"We told him you're the one killing people.", Scott corrected her.

"Oh, that's right.", Ms. Blake chuckled. "Committing Human sacrifices? What, cutting their throats? Yeah, I probably do it on my lunch hour. That way, I can get back to teaching high school English the rest of the day. That makes perfect sense."

"Where's my dad?", Stiles asked the woman, a tear running down his cheek.

"How should I know? Derek, tell me you don't believe this.", Ms. Blake tried to get Derek on her side. Derek looked at the woman standing before him and then at the three teenagers.

Scott stood with a determined look on his face, Stiles was still mourning his father's disappearance. When Derek looked at Elaine, he at first saw a blank look on her face, but looking into her eyes he could see how scared and broken the girl really was in that moment. She hasn't said a word since entering the loft.

"Do you know what happened to Stiles' father?", Derek asked Ms. Blake looking back at her.

"No.", Ms. Blake shook her head.

"Ask her why she almost killed Lydia."

"Lydia Martin? I don't know anything about that.", Ms. Blake denied Scott's accusation.

"What do you know?", Derek asked the woman.

"I know that these three, for whatever misguided reason, are filling your head with an absurd story. And one they can't prove, by the way.", Ms. Blake exclaimed.

"What if we can?", Scott showed a little bottle with Mistletoe powder in his hand.

"What is that?"

"My Boss told me. It's a poison and a cure... Which means you can use it... And it can be used against you.", Scott explained opening the bottle.

"Mistletoe?"

Scott threw the Mistletoe onto Ms. Blake and it had worked. Through the Mistletoe there were glimpses of her true self to see. Ms. Blake tried to run away, but Derek was quick to grab her by the throat.

"Derek, wait, wait! You need me." Derek flicked out his claws. "What are you?"

"The only person who can save your sister. Call Peter. Call him!", Ms. Blake exclaimed.

With his free hand Derek had called Peter and Cora wasn't doing good. Full of anger Derek gripped on tighter on the woman's neck.

"Derek. Derek what are you doing?", Scott called out.
