Hunting a Darach

The two packs along with Chris, Allison, Deaton, the sheriff and his deputy took a couple days to come up with suspects.

"We know from our visions that whoever is doing these murders are tied to the alpha pack.  So we just need to look at each individual.  They had to kill their entire pack to join right?  I think it's safe to say someone failed." I said.

"We honestly have nothing else to go off of so I say we run with this idea.  However, Parrish and I can't really look into that because I doubt entire packs of deceased people who were brutally attacked were brought into morgues.  That would be all over national news.  So they had to do clean up themselves and hide the evidence." Sheriff Stilinski said.

"True.  You and Parrish can look through all the new residents though.  Someone's identity is likely to not check out.  The rest of us can split up into groups and track down their old territories.  See if we can find anything. Adalida, Derek, Isaac, Lydia,  and Cora will take fungus nails territory.  Chris, Allison, Erica, Boyd, and Deaton will take the twins.  My pack will take that other dude.  If we need to hunt Deucalion's old territory we'll do it together." Armand explained.

"That'll work." Sheriff Stilinski agreed.

"Why does your entire pack get to stay together and I get split from my Luna?  That's not fair." Erica disagreed.

"My daughter's pack is the larger one so it was the only one I could split so that each is a team of 5.  My wife will stay here at command center.  She'll be the go between for all of us." Armand explained.

"I think that's fair." Derek said firmly while doing his alpha stare at Erica.

It's been a week and a half since that meeting.  My pack had managed to hunt each body.  According to Kali's, aka funky nails bitch, records there were 10 pack members not including herself.  But we only had 9 bodies.  We did a more thorough search going past the old territory boundaries to hunt for the 10th member. 

"So the Darach is definitely from this pack.  According to the records their Druid Emissary was a Julia Baccari.  I'll let mom know to let the others know to head back." I said.

We ran back to the old territory and grabbed the records before hitting the road to go back home.  I texted the name Julia Baccari to the sheriff on our way back. Not long after texting him I received a call from Parrish.

"She struck!  I couldn't stop her.  It's Jennifer Blake.  She took the sheriff and Melissa." Parrish shouted before hanging up. 

My phone was ringing again before I could process anything.

"SHE KNOWS!  SHE TOOK MY DAD.  She destroyed our vehicle.  We're stranded." Allison sobbed.

"My dad is closest to y'all.  I'll have him get you and we'll save them all." I promised before disconnecting.

"She knows.  She's moving up her plans which involves pack members families.  She took Stiles dad and Scott's mom.  They aren't pack but she also took Chris.  Her three guardians.  Jennifer Blake is the Darach who was Julia Baccari the Druid Emissary." I said on a sigh while speedily texting my dad.

He'd already gotten the same calls and responded he was on his way to pick them up.  We reached home shortly before my dad.  Parrish was already there with my mom who was ready to feed an army.  Scott was going off, Allison was upset and Stiles was panicking.  My dad let out a loud whistle.

"We will get your parents back ALIVE.  In order to do so we need to be smart and calm." Armand said.

"We don't even know where they are!" Stiles stressed.

"Yes we do." I said as I held up Lydia's drawing of the nemeton.

"Let's eat while we discuss and plan." Viola said in her calm ways.

"Gotta say it was a good show while it lasted.  Love the drama and the angst." Peter said.

"Where have you been?" Scott asked suspiciously.

"I'm in my nephew's pack so I don't answer to you.  They sent me on pack business and the Sheriff has also been using my expertise." Peter said.

"Kali and Ennis are out of the equation?" Derek asked Peter while Scott looked at both suspiciously.

"Completely." Peter answered.

"What are you doing with my dad?" Stiles asked suspiciously.

"Now that he knows about us he has cases that never sat right with him that he now sees with new eyes.  One of them was a little girl that was never recovered from a fatal car wreck.  He think she's a shifter so I'm using my shifter abilities to locate her.  I'm getting close.  It's odd though because she smells like family." Peter mused.

I smirked knowingly but kept quiet.  Only my mate noticed but he already knows.

"So how are we going to find this nemething?" Scott asked. 

"Easy.  You know some psychics remember?  Plus it was actually the Hale family's job to guard it.  So it's on our territory." I answered.

"What is it?" Lydia asked.

"It's a force that draws supernaturals to it like a magnet.  Which is why every location that has a nemeton has a guardian pack that keeps the area safe from creatures such as a Darach." I explained.

"Mm.  So what you're saying is we're in the situation we're in because of psychotic rogue hunters that took out most of the Hale family?" Erica asked while glaring at Allison.

"I'm not going to lie or sugarcoat it.  Yes, that's exactly why my uncle went nuts before dying and being mind healed when he was brought back.  It's exactly why we have a dark creature such as a darach here along with the alpha pack." Derek said while ignoring Allison.

"But now is not the time for all of this." Viola said firmly.

With that we began planning how we'd split in two groups.  As both my mom and I said with positivity the Darach wasn't with the guardians.  So one group will be rescue while second group will take care of the Darach.  Scott didn't trust us to let the Darach live so he refused to be placed in the rescue group.  Which means he'll be unlocking his true alpha and I knew she'd die anyway.

I led my rescue group with my mate while my dad led the Jennifer group.

We managed to get the guardians out before the ground crumbled in on them.  Once regrouping we discovered that Deucalion showed up and killed Jennifer as I knew he would.  Scott was upset because he was the one to break her ash circle unleashing his true alpha which made it so Deucalion could reach her.  He felt defeated that he couldn't save her.

He would someday learn that some are pure evil who can't be saved while others are like Peter and just need a mind healer.  But there is no healing true evil.  That would be a lesson my dad would teach him.
