Fairy Tales Exist (Teen Wolf)

square one

After Peter explained to us the real reason behind his killings and why he killed his own niece, I kind understood where he was coming from. I don't think anyone could unless they were in a position like the three of us are. If I had the chance to take out my parents killers I would take it in a heartbeat. If they were still alive I'd make sure that they wish they were dead. I don't want to just kill them. I want them to suffer. And that is what Peter's trying to do. Derek took me home while everyone was still at the game.

"So you know what we have to do." Derek sighs as we get up to my room.

"Yeah, I don't trust him but I'm willing to work with him. If you think its the safest thing to do. The only thing we can do." I sighed.

"We work with him." Derek nods his head as he wraps his arms around me. I wrap my arms around his neck and kiss his lips.

"I just don't want to make a decision and regret it later." I tell him. He nods his head and kisses my lips one last time.

"Get some sleep." He tells me as he heads toward my window.

"Will do. Night." I went over to my dresser to pick out my PJs.

"Good night Alexis." He smiles and then jumps out my window.

The next morning I get ready for school as Stiles picks me up. Scott sat in my usual seat.

"Excuse you, but you're in my seat." I pouted as Scott gets out of the jeep. I get in the jeep as Scott gets back in and drives off.

"Jackson's heart is beating too fast. We are gonna check up on him. Turn here." Stiles turns the jeep into a weird area.

"Overdose on steroids? You're monitoring him?" I asked. Stiles snorted.

"Yeah, Allison's dad and aunt were watching Jackson closely last night." Scott mutter. We pull up to the scene of Mr. Argent and Jackson talking.

"What's up?" Stiles asked.

"Is everything okay?" Scott asked.

"Hey, Scott. Your friend, here, was having car trouble. We're just taking a look." Mr. Argent says.

"There's a shop right down the street. I'm sure they have a tow truck." Scott says.

"Yeah. You want a ride? Hey, come on, Jackson. You're way too pretty to be out here all by yourself." Scott gets out of the jeep. Jackson thinks about it for a second and then starts to walk over to us. Jacksons car starts up.

"Hey, boys. Told you I knew a few things about cars." Mr. Argent says. He walks over to his car and drives off.

"What, are you following me, now?" Jackson asked rudely. The rest of us get out of the jeep.

"Yes, you stupid freaking idiot. You almost gave away everything, right there." Scott gets closer to Jackson.

"What are you talking about?" Jackson asked.

"He thinks you're the second beta." Scott yells.

"What?" Jackson sputters.

"He thinks you're me!" Scott turns around angrily and hits Stiles Jeep.

"Dude, my jeep." Stiles sighs.

"I can hear your heart beating from a mile away - literally! Now he thinks that there's something wrong, and now I have to keep an eye on you so he doesn't kill you too!" Scott went to hit the jeep again as Stiles stops him.

"Okay, how about we step away from Stiles' Jeep." Stiles pulls Scott away from the jeep.

"This is your problem, not mine, okay? I didn't say anything, which means you're the one that's gonna get me killed. Okay, this is your fault." Jackson shoves Scott up against the jeep.

"Can we stop hitting my jeep? Yo, all right, yo, guys, stop. All right?" Stiles gets in between the two boys.

"When they come after you, I won't be able to protect you. I can't protect anyone." Scott says calmly he looks over at Stiles.

"Why are you looking at me?" Stiles asked.

"You know, now you have to do it. Get me what I want, and I will be fine protecting myself." Jackson says.

"No, you won't! Just trust me. All it does is make things worse." Scott tells him. The guy just doesn't get it.

"Oh, yeah, really? You can hear anything you want and run faster than humanly possible. Sounds like a real hardship, McCall."

"He tries to kill us every week of the full moon." I point out.

"Yeah, I can run really fast now - Except half the time, I'm running away from people trying to kill me! And I can hear things like - like my girlfriend telling people that she doesn't trust me anymore right before breaking up with me. I'm not lying to you! It - ruins your life." Scott yells.

"It ruined your life. You had all the power in the world, and you didn't know what to do with it. You know what it's actually like? It's like you turned 16 and someone bought you a Porsche when they should have started you out with a nice little Honda. Me? I drive a Porsche." Jackson says as he gets into his car.

"I cant wait for the hunters to get him." I narrow my eyes at his car as he drives off.

"They will if he gets what he wants." Stiles mumbles.

We went to school like normal. I knew I had to spend some more time with Isabella. If I didn't she'd come after me. She'd follow me and I couldn't let that happen. She would find out about everything. As soon as I got home I realized the house was empty. Bella was nowhere to be found. I searched every room I even called her cell phone and it went to voicemail. She usually picks up. I called her work and they said she left early. I sat at the kitchen table chewing all my fingernails. Where could she be? She's not at work she's usually home. A few hours past and I was seconds away from calling the sheriff for a missing person report. This was unlike Bella to not show up or call me. My heart was beating fast after every minute that went by. I looked at my phone and saw 10 o'clock flashes across the screen. I was getting worried by the seconds. Soon my nails were down to the nub. Then there was a sound. The door alarm going off as I got up and dash to the door seeing Isabella was face down on the ground with the door wide open as the alarm went off. What the hell is going on? I turn the alarm off pulling Bella inside the house. I shut the door and pick up Bella over my shoulder.

"Isabella." I try to get her attention. I lift her face up and see drool. She's drunk.

"Alexis, my little sweet rebel of a sister." Bella giggles.

"Lets get you in bed." I mumbled as I drag her up to her room. She lets out a few burps that smelled like alcohol.

"Ya know, if Derek didn't kill those people I would be ok with you dating him. He is a cutie." Bella snorts.

"Yeah, he is a cutie alright." I roll my eyes as I place her in her bed. I take her shoes off and cover her up with the blanket.

"You, you need to be careful with him. The way he looks at you. Seems like he is protective over you." Bella yawns.

"He is." I sighed. I put two advils and a glass of water on her night stand.

"Like an obsession with you. Sometimes it's not a bad thing. At least you know he'll be there to protect you and care for you no matter what. On the other hand clingy and never leaving your side giving you personal space is difficult to work with." Bella passes out. I shake my head. Drunks speak the truth.

"Goodnight Bella." I leave the room and shut the door quietly. My phone vibrates as I look at the text message. Its from Stiles. He is picking me up in 2 minutes. Damn, I never get a break.
