Stiles's POV.

I had found Derek in the Elevator unconscious, my hand hurt from slapping him so many times that I was upgrading to a punch, and when I pulled back to hit him, his hand shot out and caught my hand. "Great my hand was starting to hurt." Rubbing his head, he sat up and looked around. "Shit! What happened? Where's Sabylla?" Frowning I looked down at him, "wasn't she in here with you?" He nodded, "but Jennifer hit me in the head with something, and everything went black." Yanking him to his feet we quickly looked all around the floor we were on, looking for her. And as we looked I filled him in on what was happening. "We need to get to Cora, and then find Sabylla." I nodded and we went to find the others. As we move I tell Derek I'll keep looking and he runs off.

Derek's POV

Getting outside, I got to Argent's car only to be bombarded with questions from Allison, I told her about Stiles still being in the hospital and about Scott's mom being taken and how Scott was with Deucalion and that Sabylla was missing. Putting Cora in my car, and I drive to the loft. Worry for both my sister and my mate are constant thoughts in my head as I wonder what's going on and what happened to Sabylla. The though of not knowing where she is, or if she's alive, that is if someone found a way to kill her. After setting Cora into the sheets of my bed, Peter and Osiris came down the spiral stairs. "Hey, mutt. Where's my daughter?" I look at him, "she didn't come back to find you?" Worry etched into his dark features. "No she spent most of the day with your sister and you." "Well there was an attack at the hospital and we were knocked out. When we came to she was gone." Without a word he vanished and Peter came down the rest of the stairs.

Isaac had just walked in and saw us sitting by Cora. The kid bitches at me for being too flirty with other women and letting them throw themselves at me while everyone was trying to keep people from dying, "well I'm sorry if I attract crazy, but I wasn't flirting. I saved her once and now you pin it on me, lovely." Isaac scoff, and questioned my motive for even making a pack asking if it was out of boredom or if I was just lonely, and I told him, "maybe." He glared then stormed off. Peter told me it was just an excuse to switch Alpha. But I told him Scott wasn't an Alpha. But Peter only said "not yet." Before walking back upstairs.

Third Person's POV

Chris awakes with a gasp. He's all tied up in the Nemeton/root cellar. Sheriff Stilinski sees Chris' look of recognition and suggests that he's been in the cellar before.

Chris begins to check for the weapons he has secreted about his person. Stilinski says they watched Jennifer remove his ankle knife. Melissa McCall points out that Jennifer also got the one that was in his sleeve and the switchblade in his other sleeve. Chris continues to struggle to reach something in his jacket. Jennifer enters and points out that she also removed the tazer in his jacket pocket.

She begins to dab at Chris' head wound while discussing how truth becomes altered by legend. Pointing out that Argent is the French word for "silver", she says the legend that werewolves can be killed by silver is wrong. She says the truth is "it's not actually the metal silver that kills werewolves but the family."

She then talks about the Hunters Code which is "We hunt those who hunt us." Jennifer says she'd like to borrow the code for a little while "since I've been hunted myself." Chris says she shouldn't pretend that they are the same because he doesn't kill innocent people. She then waxes about how it's a sacrifice and how she wishes there was another way. She says by giving up his life, Chris and the others are making the town and the world safer for their children. She then looks at Melissa and adds the caveat "well most of them."

A few hours passed and a bloody and bruised Jennifer returned and tossed, an unconscious Sabylla on the ground floor of the cellar. She fell and landed in between Chris's knees. Her head inches away from colliding with his groin. He gasped in surprise and looked up in time to see Jennifer glare at the tiny woman in jealousy and rage. "Always hated her." She said then closed the cellar doors. Looking down at the woman, she was breathing but was sweating and looked ill. "Is she alright?" Melissa asked worried. "Good lord if Derek finds out she's hurt he'll lose it." Chris muttered. "Here, Melissa. I'm going to push her to you." The nurse nodded and leaned towards to ex-hunter. Carefully he used his feet to push the body of the small woman towards the older woman.

When she was able to reach, she untied the knots and released the girl. "Chris, this rope smells funny." Tossing it to the hunter he caught it on his shoulder and took a whiff. "Vervain?" Looking from the rope to the woman he ran through all the things he knows about creatures and Vervain. "Melissa, does she have severe rope burns?" Checking she nodded. "Ah, crap." The hunter sighed shaking his head. "What? what is it?" Looking to the Sheriff he said "Okay, werewolves are weak to certain types of Wolfsbane. But very little besides decapitation or a stake through the heart and sun light is know to kill vampires. If this rope was soaked in vervain I know how Jennifer or whatever her name is was able to subdue this creature. Vervain to Vampires is Wolfsbane to Werewolves." The nodded in understanding and looked down at the woman. Now very unsure weather she would kill them when she woke or, if she was even older than them so terminology was out of the question.

Inside the cellar, some odd hours later the Vampress was still unconscious and Chris was struggling against his ropes. Melissa teases him that they've already tried to wriggle free for hours with no success. Stilinski casually mentions that he knows that Argent is a werewolf hunter. Melissa just smiles and lets Chris know that she filled the Sheriff in on the supernatural. When Stilinski says he was feeling a little left out, Chris says "you knew". He then relates the story of the first time they actually met, before Stilinski was sheriff he had questioned Argent about a body. Chris says Stilinski knew something was up but wasn't ready to believe it.

The sheriff then relates the story of the night his wife died. It happened eight years ago. He had been working a car crash were a teenage girl was trapped. He had held her hand knowing there was nothing else he could do for her and that she would surely die. The young woman gripped his hand so tightly he thought the bones would break and said "if you want to be with her, go now" and the sheriff says he knew she was talking about his wife.

His wife's name was Claudia. Even though the sheriff had this revelation, the rational part of his brain wouldn't allow him to believe it and he remained at the crash scene. When he made it to the hospital much later he saw Stiles sitting in the waiting area with his head in his hands. Stiles had been with Claudia at the end but the sheriff was not. He had missed saying goodbye to his wife because he didn't believe.

In the Nemeton, Chris' wriggling has paid off and he's managed to retrieve a mini version of the hunter's "ultrasonic emitters". He tells Melissa and the sheriff that they usually use them to push werewolves away but he hopes this time it will draw them to the cellar. A soft groan emanates from the creature on the ground but she doesn't move, "come on turn that thing off it hurts." Chris chuckles, "rise and shine vampress." The woman leans up on her elbow only to fall back down her head landing on Melissa's thigh. "Sorry, Ms. McCall." Shaking her head she brushed it off. "What the hell happed and why did you get caught?" She asked the hunter. When he told her she scoffed, "You are a dumbass." He looks at her confused. "Why?" "Because it was obvious she already had her three sacrifices, you just gave her extra." The three parents looked at the vampire. "Your a parent?" The sheriff questioned. "Yes, when I was human I had four children, all under twenty. I had three boys and a girl. Thought that was so long ago, it would be awhile till I could even remember what the look like. You three have very strong and powerful children be proud of them, they do a lot to take stress and worries from you. When they shouldn't." Melissa ran her fingers through Sabylla's hair calming the weak vampire with motherly love.

"I'm sorry I can't be of much help, thought I have internally built up an immune system for Vervain, on the outside it still weakens me. It will be some time before I can be of any kind of use to you." They nodded they're understanding and returned to waiting on their children to save them.
