"What about-"

"Think about it, Scott! Gerard controls him now. He's turned Jackson into his own personal guard dog, and he set all of this in motion so that Jackson could get even bigger and more powerful" Derek yelled at Scott

"No. No, he wouldn't do that. If Jackson's a dog, he's turning rabid, and my father wouldn't let a rabid dog live" Argent told them

"Of course not..." Gerard said as he appeared "Anything that dangerous, that out of control... is better off dead" He said with a frown. Derek went to claw Jackson but was ultimately thrown far back by Jackson "Well done to the last, Scott. Like the concerned friend you are, you brought Jackson to Derek to save him. You just didn't realize that you were also bringing Derek to me"

Out of nowhere arrows were fired at Isaac and Irene. She let out a yell of pain as she fell to her knees, slowly pulling out the arrow that became embedded into her waist and shoulder, watching it clank on the ground

"Allison?" Scott called out before helping up Isaac and leading him away from Jackson and Gerard. Irene groaned from the pain but she managed to heal rather quickly after Peter helped her up

"Oh look it's the girl who turned on her friends. Want to shoot me again for the third time?" Irene said in anger, holding her arms out

Suddenly Argent got thrown by Jackson, landing hard on the cold ground. Irene slowly looked up, her claws out and her eyes glowing a bright golden. Isaac and Scott doing the same and Derek whose eyes were glowing their vibrant red

Irene growled and rushed at Jackson and tried to claw at him but his claws dug into her shoulder as he threw her at the wall, her back hitting the cold brick as she landed on the ground with a painful groan.

She went to stand up but when she did she saw Allison stab Isaac, watching him fall to the ground

"Isaac!" She screamed and tried to run at him but was stopped by Peter who grabbed her shoulder, pulling her back to his side.

"No, Allison!" Scott yelled as Jackson grabbed onto her throat, tightly. Shocking everyone around them

"Not yet, sweetheart" Gerard said

"What are you doing?" Allison gasped

"He's doing what he came here to do..." Scott said

"Then you know." Gerard turned to Scott with a raised brow

"What's he talking about?" Allison asked

"It was the night outside the hospital, wasn't it? When I threatened your mother. I knew I saw something in your eyes. You could just smell it, couldn't you?"

"He's dying..." Irene said in realization

"I am. I have been for a while now, Unfortunately, science doesn't have a cure for cancer yet... But the supernatural does.

"You monster." Argent hissed through his teeth

"Not yet."

"What are you doing?" Allison asked

"You'll kill her, too?" Argent asked angrily

"When it comes to survival...? I'd kill my own son! Scott" He said, turning to Scott with an expectant look

"Scott, stop! Don't do this!" Irene yelled, shaking her head at her friend. She wanted to rush at him but Isaac held both of her arms behind her back to try and stop her

"Scott, don't. You know that he's gonna kill me right after. He'll be an Alpha" Derek told him

"That's true... But I think he already knows that, don't you, Scott? He knows that the ultimate prize is Allison. Do this small task for me, and they can be together. You are the only piece that doesn't fit, Derek. And, in case you haven't learned yet, there is just no competing with young love"
