Fury

The next night was the Full Moon and while the Pack was running the perimeter Victoria stood in the kitchen of her home, a large Hunter's knife in her hand.

"Please." Chris begged. "Do not do this."

"It took Chris, I will not become one of them." Victoria responded. "It is almost time. I- I need you with me." Chris followed his wife up to their bedroom. They sat together, talking softly. Victoria looked up out the window suddenly. "Do not let this burden you. You must take care of Ally."

"I know." Chris managed as dread and sorrow filled him. Victoria raised the knife to her chest, Chris' hands wrapped around her's on the hilt. As the Full Moon became visible Victoria's eyes began to glow and the knife plunged through her chest. She left out a shuddering breath and the yellow of her eyes began to dim slowly. Chris breathed in before beginning to sob.

Allison entered the hospital in a frenzy, unsure of what was happening. She spotted her father and rushed towards him.

"Dad? What is going on? Where is she? Is she okay? What happened? Dad-." She stopped as she saw her father's face and in the room behind him a covered up body. "No!" She shouted before breaking down into sobs. Chris pulled her into a hug, tears silently leaving his eyes. "What happened?! Daddy, what happened?! Why?!"

Alison had been distant since then and barely talked to anyone outside her family. Victoria's death was ruled a suicide but Gerard urged Chris to tell Allison the truth.
"I need to be there for her." Scott stated.

"She does not want you there." Head Official Stilinski responded. "I know you just want to be there for her but please let her family mourn in peace- she will come to you when she needs you."

Of course neither Scott nor Stiles listened and both snuck into the cemetery as Victoria's service continued. When Allison looked over her shoulder she noticed Scott, he smiled sadly and gave a light wave. She turned back around with no more than a small frown.

"Do you think-?" Scott asked.

"No, I do not think she blames you." Stiles interrupted. "Hey, look at the grave next to Victoria's." Scott turned back around and looked.

"Kate Argent. Beloved daughter, sister, and aunt." He read out loud.

"We should go before my dad sees us." Stiles said as he pulled Scott away.

"You need to tell her." Gerard stated.

"I will not bring her into this." Chris hissed.

"She deserves to know." Gerard retorted.

"Not like this!" Chris snapped. "For God's sake we just buried Victoria, I will not add insult to injury and tell her why."

"Dad." Allison called as she entered the room. Her face was blank, eyes cold. "Please, I need to know."

"Allison-." Chris began.

"Please." Allison interrupted. Chris sighed but remained silent.

"Your mother was bit by the Alpha, it took and she honored The Code by taking her life. Now that she is gone you are the head of the Clan. Our sons trained to be warriors and daughters to be leaders." Gerard answered. "You have been trained for this your entire life. What is it that you wish us to do?"

"The Alpha is King Isaac is it not?" Allison asked.

"It is." Gerard answered.

"Then it is simple: I want Isaac Lahey dead. We hunt those who hunt others." Allison responded.

"So says our code." Gerard agreed. Chris watched his daughter sadly, he did not like where this was going.

"We need to stop him and soon." Erica said.

"How exactly do you suggest we do that?" Jackson drawled.

"Head Official Stilinski needs evidence." Isaac stated.

"So let us get him some." Cora responded.

"Again: how do you suggest we do that?" Jackson repeated.

"Jessica Barlett." Peter offered.

"She is dead." Scott said in confusion.

"But she did not die like the others. She was suffocated in her room at the apothecary." Peter told them. "That means he had to go in as a Human and someone had to of seen him."

"The apothecary just installed that new surveillance system. The Officials' Station has access to it." Stiles offered.

"Stiles and I can go talk to Head Official Stilinski to see who Matt talked to." Scott said.

"Where is everyone?" Stiles wondered as they entered the station. Scott shrugged. Stiles led the way back to his father's office.

"Stiles, what are you doing here?" Head Official Stilinski asked.

"We need to see the footage from the apothecary's cameras." Stiles answered.

"Why?" Head Official Stilinski questioned.

"Because we believe Matt went in to kill Jessica Barlett. We want to see who he talked to." Scott answered. Head Official Stilinski nodded and sat down at his desk. He had a computer, one of the only few in the kingdom (others could be found at the school and apothecary), which was hooked up to the new surveillance cameras. He typed away for a minute or so before pulling up the apothecary camera feed. "Look, there he is." Scott pointed out on the screen.

"He must be looking for her room." Stiles murmured. They watch as Melissa stopped in front of Matt and talked to him.

"Get your Mom." Head Official Stilinski said to Scott.

"I saw a lot of people that day Scott." Melissa sighed as she sat down.

"He would have asked about Jessica Barlett, the woman that was murdered after she had her baby prematurely." Head Official Stilinski stated.

"I do not- actually...I do remember someone asking about her. He seemed very upset, he said he was a relative. I pointed him to the front desk so that they could help him, Nicole went on break so I told him to sit and wait for her to come back- that she would be there shortly." Melissa told them.

"He must have went around the desk and looked up the room number himself." Stiles offered. "Danny said Matt was almost as good with computers as himself."

"You have to bring him in, this is enough evidence right?" Scott said. Head Official Stilinski nodded.

"Yes, you guys head on home. I will take it from here. Mel, I need you to write a statement." He responded. Scott turned to leave, Stiles following him. Scott jerked back suddenly from the doorway and Stiles stumbled back behind him. Matt entered the office, gun in hand.

"I can't let you do that." He stated.
