CHAPTER TWO; CHAOS RISING
(S3E2)

NICOLE woke up the next day pretty annoyed with Derek. She had gotten a call early in the morning that he wanted her to be at his loft to help him and Peter go into Isaac's memories. She was still sleeping in her quiet apartment. What annoyed her most was the sound of her phone ringing as loud as it could. She wouldn't be as annoyed if Peter wasn't there but oh well.

"Does it have to be him?" Isaac asked. Nicole rolled her eyes.

Derek sighed whilst reading. "He knows how to do it. I don't. It'll be more dangerous if I try to do it myself."

"I know how to do it." Nicole butted in. "Sort of."

"No, it's too risky with you." Derek denied.

"So, you'd have psycho Uncle Peter who's murder a whole bunch of people rather than me?" Nicole asked.

"Yes," Derek deadpanned.

"Well, that hurt." Nicole muttered and sat back in her chair.

"You know Scott doesn't trust him, right? You know, personally, I'd— well, I'd trust Scott." Isaac said.

"Awh, that's cute." Nicole smirked. "What are you, his secret boyfriend?"

"Do you trust me?" Derek asked looking up from his book. Isaac nods.

"I still don't like him." Isaac mumbles.

"Join the club." Nicole snorted.

Suddenly the door to Derek's loft opened, showing a rather slightly annoyed Peter. Nicole rolled her eyes at his sudden appearance.

"Boys— and girl— f.y.i, yes, coming back from the dead has left my abilities somewhat impaired, but hearing still works. So I hope you're comfortable saying whatever it is that you're feeling straight to my face." Peter explained walking in with his usual and annoying smirk.

"We don't like you." Derek and Nicole said bluntly.

"Now shut up and help us." Derek said.

"Fair enough." Peter said before flicking out his claws.

Isaac huffed and sat down in the chair Nicole had put in the middle of the loft. She patted his shoulder trying to calm him down.

"Relax. I'll get more out of you if you're calm." Peter said.

"There's no way of being calm around you." Nicole said.

"How do you know how to do this, again?" Isaac asked.

"It's an ancient ritual used mostly by alphas, since it's a skill that requires quite a bit of practice. One slip, and you could paralyze someone. Or kill them." Peter explained.

"You-You've had a lot of practice, though, right?" Isaac asked very nervously.

"I've had a lot of practice because your mother taught me how to do it." Nicole said and empathized the 'your mother' part for Derek but it only made him roll his eyes.

"Fine." Derek huffed. Nicole smiled in victory, flicking out her claws but Peter already injected his claws into the back of Isaac's neck.

"God damn it, Peter." Nicole groaned. Both Peter's and Isaac's eyes glowed.

"Wait, I see them." Peter says. Soon enough, Peter retracts his claws from Isaac's neck, falling backwards. Nicole rushed towards Isaac seeing if he's okay. He nodded and clutched his shaking hand onto hers.
