An Uneasy Accord

Chapter 79 - Whack Job!!!!

A/N: I don't own anyone but my OC's….though I wished I owned the rest….*sighs*

Kate examined the crossbow.

It was a beautiful example of craftsmanship as the carvings were spared no detail.

"Someone had too much time on their hands," she ran a finger across the string, plucking it with her nail. Its song was melodic but melancholy at the same time. Kate then went to the ring and toyed with the silver band between her slender fingers. The stone glistened in the glowing light of the fire, casting the stone in a darker sinister allure.

"What are you doing?"

Kris stood with hands planted firmly on his hips while the deep disapproving stare dominated his eyes.

"What I can't enjoy the spoils of war?" She pouted as her brother extended his hand out.

"Give it," he didn't share in her perspective.

"You're no fun," she smacked the ring in the center of his palm before walking off and up the stairs. Argent still wondered what his sister's true motives were for coming here. He got the feeling she was hiding something but what it was he couldn't say.

"This isn't some trophy Kate."

His eyes went down to the crossbow which rested evenly on the coffee table. Though he was a man of the code, Argent wasn't about to relinquish the weapon to his enemy. The Alpha had not been sighted by Tyhurst or Ulrich but it didn't allow for him to sleep any easier at night. Leveque wasn't coming back and Brian continued to remain a vegetable in the ICU.

Kate quietly shut the door and pulled out her phone. The text was waiting in her inbox.

Everything's in place….

The evil smile appeared at the news.

When do we attack?

Kate thought for a moment before responding back. She needed to get Derek and Brooklyn to the house in order for the plan to work. The hunter wanted Brooklyn hurt or dead but preferably the latter. But Kate wanted Derek alive for what she held in store for him. The deliciously wicked thoughts danced vividly in her warped mind as she punched in a quick answer.

Just be ready to move on my call…..

Was her response before she decided to slip in the shower and drift off to sleep. She would need to be well rested for the job ahead.

The Charger came to a stop in front of the Hale house. The sun was out and Brooklyn had never been more thankful up to the point she was leaving the hospital and going back home. Her heart was still sickened over Derek's past with Kate.

"Oh thank god you two are here," Stiles leapt up from the steps.

"Did you do something?" Brooklyn eyed the teen as she planted her feet on the ground then pushed up and out of the car. Stiles spied the bump beneath Derek's jacket as Brooklyn approached.

"What no! I didn't touch anything! I didn't go through your clothes or try anything on…."

Derek growled at the implied antics.

"Stiles you're rambling again," she brushed past Stiles and headed inside leaving him alone with the angry werewolf.

"Dude, I didn't do anything I swear!"

Derek sniffed the air and noticed the teen had something on his breath that he had not detected before.

"What?"

"Did you drink or take something?"

"Adderall," Stiles' voice squeaked. He watched as Derek's tight face relaxed.
