Let Me Love You

Training

When I get back, all I see is Isaac and Erica getting thrown to the ground multiple times.

"Does anyone want to try not being completely predictable?" Derek says, before Erica jumps off of the top of a train car onto him. The product of that is her shoving her tongue down his throat.

He throws her on the ground, "That's the last time you do that."

"Why? Because I'm a beta?" She asks.

"Please, bleach my eyeballs from that horrific sight!" I drop my bag inside the same train car that she had just jumped off of and lean against the doorframe.

"No, because I have someone else in mind for you," her smirks as she looks at him horrified.

"Are we done?" Isaac sits up, "Because I have about a hundred bones that need a few hours to heal."

Derek looks at me, causing me to smirk and walk over to him.

I offer him a hand, before snapping his wrist, "A hundred and one."

"You think I'm teaching you how to fight?" Derek snarls at him, "Huh? Look at me! I'm teaching you how to survive."

"If they wanted us dead, why aren't they coming for us now?" Isaac asks, "What are they waiting for?"

"I don't know, but they are planning something, and you especially know that's not our only problem! Whatever that thing is that killed Isaac's father, I think it killed someone else last night," Derek says, "Until I find out what it is, you all need to learn what I know. As fast as I can teach you."

"It did," I chime in from my spot on top of the train car. While they were talking, I made my way up there just to sit.

"What?" Derek asks.

"That 'thing' killed one of the Argent's hunters. They weren't real happy about it," I state as I flip off of the car onto the floor, landing swiftly on my feet, "Now, I'm going to sleep."

An exhausted, heavily breathing Stiles runs up behind me the next day in school, "Wanna help us with something?"

"Like what?" I ask as I open my locker and swap my chemistry textbook for my Econ one.

"Helping us find a bestiary," he states.

"Why do you need to find a bestiary?" I turn to him while closing my locker.

"To figure out what the thing that's killing people is," he says, walking with me toward Econ.

"And who do you think has the bestiary? The Argent's?" I ask sarcastically, getting no response whatsoever from Stiles, "Really?"

"Well yeah! They're hunters," he deadpans.

"Okay, well what's your plan?" I ask, walking slower to give him time to explain.

"Allison is going to get Gerard's keys, give them to me, I'll get into his office and get the book. Simple," he states.

"And how is she going to get the keys from Gerard, then give them to you?" I ask as we get to the classroom.

"Umm... Haven't gotten there yet," he drawls.

"Great. When you figure it out, call me. I'll be at the game tonight," I say before walking in and taking the seat next to Scott.

Scott leans over to me when Finstock isn't looking, "What were you guys talking about?"

"Scott, you don't have to lean over. Just whisper," I point to my ears and he moves back to sit normally.

"What we're you and Stiles talking about?" He asks as I pull my Econ notebook out of my bag.
