Everyone Has Demons [Teen Wolf]

My phone buzzed again, it had gone off at least four times in the last fifteen minutes. Finally I raised my hand. "May I go to the restroom?" My history teacher waved me out of the classroom; it wasn't like I needed the class anyways, I been alive through most of it. I went to the hall and answered my phone.

"Why do you even have a phone if you aren't going to answer it?" Cora asked.

"There's this thing called school, you might try it some time," I said. "Did you hear anything from him?"

"Why do you think I keep calling you? He's back."

"I'll be over in twenty."

"Bring backup, the alphas are coming for him. Tonight." Before I could respond she hung up and I groaned.

"Wow, she is such a Hale," I mumbled. I hovered over Isaac's name in my phone for a moment before clicking on Boyd's instead. "Derek's back, meet me in the parking lot," I texted.

I waited by my car until the bell rang and Boyd came outside. "Sorry, couldn't get out of class."

"Its ok, I've had a minute to come up with a plan," I told him. I motioned for him to get in the passenger seat.

"And that would be?" He asked.

"Well obviously we can't take on the alphas," I told him. "We have to set something up to kill them immediately, either that or get them on our level long enough for us to take them down."

"Like a trap?"

"Yeah, specifically one that gives anyone who steps on into the loft barefoot a...shock."

"I'm not keeping up," he said.

"You'll see," I assured him.

OoOoO

When we got to my old building we took the elevator up. "Basically we'll flood the floor and drop a live wire in it to charge it. When Kali walks in with those poorly groomed feet, she'll get electrocuted."

"You came up with that in the fifteen minutes you were waiting on me outside?" Boyd asked.

"Its been floating around in my head. Some people count sheep before bed, I plan ways to defend myself."

"I have the feeling this isn't the first trap you've set."

I shrugged. "The Council has sent people after me a few times, clearly they haven't succeeded."

"Oh you brought Boyd," Cora said, sounding like she was in a surprisingly good mood given the situation.

"Is this a thing?" I asked looking between them. Boyd smiled at Cora and they both walked off to discuss the plan. "This is definitely a thing." The fact that other people somehow found these organic relationships in the middle of a crisis amazed me, I was too busy with the conflict to deal with the people involved.

The elevator dinged, causing me to jump. I turned just as the doors opened. "Isaac?"

"You and Boyd left in the middle of the day, did you really think I wasn't going to follow you?"

"I didn't think you'd want to be a part of this," I told him.

"I'm not going to let Derek die, Ava."

"Ok fine, you showed up just in time."

As if he'd been summoned by my words, Derek walked down the stairs. "We didn't need them, Cora," he said without giving us a second glance.

"Yes, we do," Cora said.

"You should be in school," Derek told us.

"Now is not the time to play Test Ava's Knowledge of Pretty Much Everything," I told him.
