Kindred Spirits {Stiles Stilinski: Book Two}

Chapter 5

"We need to go to Derek's. I know where the alpha pack is." Scott says. "How the hell did you manage to do that?" I question. "It doesn't matter. They need to know." Scott replies. We rush to Derek's loft to deliver the news.

Scott bursts through the door. "I know where they are." Scott announces. "Same building as the Argents, we know." Derek replies. "Cora and I followed the twins." Boyd states. "Then they want us to know." Scott says. "Or more likely they don't care." Peter argues.

"What are you doing?" I question. "Isn't it obvious. The schemers are scheming, coming up with a coup de main, better know as a pre-emptive strike." Peter answers. "You're going after them?" Scott asks. "Tomorrow, and you're gonna help us." Derek replies.

"So kill them first? That's the plan?" Scott asks. "They won't even see it coming." Boyd states. "Why is the default plan always murder? Just once, can someone try to come up with something that doesn't involve killing everyone?" Scott rants. "You never get tired of being blandly moral, do you? Not that I disagree with him." Peter says.

"I do. Why do we need these kids?" Cora asks. These kids? I'm the same age as her. "These kids helped save your life. And you know we can't just sit back and wait for them to make the first move." Derek states. "You can't beat a pack of alphas." Scott argues. "That's why were going after Deucalion, just him." Cora replies.

"Cut off the head of the snake and the body dies." Boyd elaborates. "Not if there's another head just waiting to replace him." I state. "Only this isn't a snake, it's a hydra. And like Scott says, they're all alphas." Peter says. "Deucalion's still the leader." Derek argues. "Let's hope so. Because you remember what happened when Hercules cut off one of the heads of the hydra?" Peter questions. "Two more grew back in it's place." Scott answers. "Somebody's been doing their summer reading." Peter says.

Of course Scott did not approve of the plan and made one himself. "I don't think this plan is going to work, but I'm not going to let you die alone." I state. We start getting ready to leave when Isaac stops us. "Where are you going?" Isaac asks. "We were gonna go get some food to eat." Scott answers. "Oh cool, I'll come with you." Isaac responds.

"It's okay we can eat by ourselves." Scott says. "What are you getting?" Isaac questions. "Uh, Mexican?" I answer more as a question. "Dude I love Mexican." Isaac responds. "Isaac. We can eat alone, it's okay." Scott assures. I am 100% sure Isaac knows what we're doing. "You're not going without me." Isaac says.

"We're just gonna talk to them, try to reason with them. That's it." Scott informs us. "What?" I ask. "Nothing, it's just I'm actually kind of hungry now." Isaac says. "So am I." Scott replies.

"Why did it have to be a creepy ass abandoned building? Why couldn't it be a coffee house? The conversation topics wouldn't be less effective." I complain. "Please enlighten me, where did you usually meet up with bad guys?" Isaac questions. "The Mystic Grill duh." I answer. We walk up to Deucalion.

"You didn't come alone." Deucalion says. "Yeah this is Isaac and Lia." Scott states. "I' not talking about Isaac and Lia." Deucalion responds. Derek walks out of the shadows. "You knew I would do this. Derek don't, you can't if you do someone else dies." Scott says. "Him, just him." Derek states.

"Just me? Now how's a blind man find his way into a place like this all on his own?" Deucalion asks. Suddenly the rest of his pack makes an appearance. Boyd and Cora also show themselves. "We're all gonna die." I mutter. Ethan and Aiden then merge into a superwolf.

Scott and I both try to take it out, but fail miserably. Deucalion then demands that Derek kills Boyd. Which Derek immediately refuses. They try to make him chose between killing Boyd or Cora. It looks like we'd lost until a certain arrow makes it's way onto the playing field, blinding the alpha pack.
