STRONGER ☉ S. STILINSKI [ 4 ]

Twelve ~ Eager

"You know I'm not okay with that. I am not letting you die. Not just for me and you ... but for Bri. We are not okay with that."

Brianna sighed from her spot at the top of the spiral staircase. For a while she'd been listening in one Derek and Braeden's conversation about the mission. It was confirmed the night before that Scott and Kira had been kidnapped by Kate. So the pack was going to save them. Derek doesn't seem to think he'll be coming back alive considering he's dependant on a gun because of the disappearance of his claws and fangs.

A small smile appeared on Brianna's face as Braeden and Derek kissed. Braeden is the only one of Derek's girlfriends Brianna liked. She's also the only one who hadn't died or tried to kill the pack so that's a bonus. "I am." Derek replied honestly. "If it saves Scott and Kira. But to be honest, I don't even know if this is enough firepower to take down one berserker."

Brianna glanced up to see Peter staring at her in confusion. With caution not to make too much noise she put her finger to her lip so he wouldn't give away her spot to the duo. Peter sighed before continuing his descent down the stairs, "Not even close. Killing a Berserker is next to impossible. It's not just the firepower, it's breaking the animal spirit from the human."

"Well, the one person we know with that kind of experience is Argent. And he's not getting back to me." Derek stated.

"Well, then you're going to need help. Like Malia, maybe Liam. Defiantly me."

Brianna stood up, using her strength she pushed herself over the banister. Despite the height she still managed to land on two feet perfectly. The blonde smirked, "And me. You really think I'm passing up a chance to go to Mexico?"

"But you're going to be careful, aren't you?" Braeden urged after she spotted Derek's stern face.

"Actually nope. But there is nothing Derek can do to stop me from going."

Derek sighed in exasperation, "At this point I'm not even going to try."

The blonde smirked in victory as he phone bleeped. Brianna read out her text from Stiles to the group of three. They were instructed to get a prison transport van since Liam was joining them on the trip and it was the full moon. Along with Braeden Brianna went to go pick one up. Apparently Braeden being a US marshal wasn't just a cover story. She actually used to be.

"Are we really bringing him?" Derek asked after getting out of the car with Peter as the group gathered around.

Stiles rose an eyebrow towards Peter, "Are we really bringing him?"

"We're bringing everyone that we can." Peter reminded. "And considering Scott and Kira were taken the night before a full moon, we should probably get going."

"What's that mean?" Brianna asked.

"If Kate took Scott back to the same temple that she took Derek, how do we know she's not planning to do the same thing to him?"

"What, she wants to make him younger?" Liam asked and Brianna gave him a confused look. She momentarily forgot that Scott had filled him in on all of the packs previous problems. It was so Liam could make up his mind about whether or not he wanted to join the pack. Brianna was pretty surprised that he still did.

"Or take him back to when he wasn't a werewolf." Derek said.

"A werewolf can't steal a true alpha's power." Peter explained. "But maybe a Nagual jaguar, with the power of Tezcatlipoca behind her ... maybe she can. So, if everyone is sufficiently freaked out, I say we get going."

"We can't." Brianna mused, folding her arms over her shoulder. "Not without Lydia."
