The Hale Pack

1) The Plan

Stiles put the bag of groceries down on the counter of the kitchen in the loft which still smelled like dust and stale air. "What are we going to do? Rogue Hunters are on our tail. We can't go back to the manor. The guy that is leading them is of his fucking rocker, crazy. And it's only a few weeks until the start of school..." Stiles sighed and ran fingers through his hair.

"Who cares about school." Erica shrugged flipping her bouncy curls.

"You all do." Derek growled.

"We could just go get our GED's and -" Isaac offered but was cut off.

"No." Derek snarled his eyes glowing red. "You will finish school."

Peter was lounging on the stairs again just watching everyone. Cora slipped upstairs, and a door closing was heard.

Stiles just let everyone bicker as he put the groceries up. Boyd was helping silently. His presence was calming. Stiles was never really comfortable around quiet people but with Boyd... it just kind of felt right. Like he didn't have any ultireor motives. He was just the quiet type.

When he turned back around evryone was tense. "So that doesn't answer my question." Stiles hopped up on the counter top and looked between them all. "We seem to be backed into a corner here. What do we do if the Argent and his happy group of phsychoes decide to come knocking on our door? What exactly is the plan?" Stiles was always the one to want a clear plan to go by. And he was pretty good at finding ways to win in most situations.

Everyone was silent and they looked from him to Derek. The alpha stared at the door and his eyes flashing red as his jaw clenches. "I won't let them take my pack. There is a security system installed In the whole building. If anyone comes I will know about it. I will be able to see them with cameras." Derek slid those molten red eyes in Styles direction.

Stiles saw the power in those eyes and it made his core heat up suddenly. He swallowed and then nodded slowly. "But you don't need to take them on alone Derek. The pack-"

"They arent ready." Derek growled and took a step towards Stiles.

Frowning he hopped off the counter and motioned to the rest of them. "Then train them! You can't be our only defense Derek! You just can't! If you... if you fall then we will all be sitting ducks." Stiles felt his blood heat up and his skin tingle as he felt some kind of shift inside him. The spark.

He saw those red eyes search his own. "You need to train them to work together and be able to fight off a hunter... or a whole crazy group of hunters. Or they will die." Stiles suddenly felt a spike of pain lance through his skull as he closed his eyes and touched his temple.

A flash. Boyd and Erica chained up and being tortured. Argent is there. He tries to help them.

Stiles feels dizzy and he waivers on his feet listing to the side. Derek moves fast as the boy loses his footing. Just as he begins to fall Derek wraps his arms around him and pulls him up against his chest. Black veins bloom across his skin as he pulls the boys pain instantly.

Glazed soft brown eyes blink open and he growns and jerks to awareness. Blinking passed the haze of the vision. Derek watches as those brown eyes flicker with power. The spark inside him is strong. He's never seen an Emissary have visions before. It is a rare gift.

He helps Stiles to lean against the table "What did you see?"

Stiles held back a shiver at the memory of the vision. Getting beaten by Argent... Erica dead... Boyd howling over her corpse. All of them burying her.

"You- you can't just go this alone Derek. If you do you will get us killed. Be the alpha that you are meant to be. Lead them. Teach them... or watch them die..." Stiles slid his eyes up to see the resolve in Derek strengthen.

"I won't lose them." Derek quietly growled. His green eyes glowing molten red again as he turned to look at the pack. "We will begin training. I wont let hunters take anyone else from me. You will all learn to fight. You will learn to take control over your wolves. You will learn to find an anchor to your humanity. You will learn to use your abilities."

Derek's fangs grew slowly and his claws came out as he said. "And when the hunters come for us. We fight!"
