The Return Home

Chapter 11

Scott's POV

It was still early in the morning, early enough to still be dark outside. We parked outside of the Hale house and ran over to the small entrance of the catacombs. One by one, we crawled into nothing but absolute darkness. Luckily, all five of us were supernatural creatures, so our eyes adjusted quickly. We walked several feet before the tunnel split in two directions. "We need to split up." I whispered. "Scott and I will go this way. The rest of you will take the other tunnel." Derek ordered. We all nodded to each other before going our separate ways. Derek and I quietly walked for a moment. "I've got her scent." I whispered. "So do I, it's stronger than usual." Derek said, concerned. We followed her scent for a little while longer until it led us to a massive steel door. Derek stood holding the handle of the door, and we nodded towards each other before he pulled the door open. I quickly stepped into the room, where Allie's scent was unbearably strong. The room seemed to be even darker, and I was too impatient to wait for my eyes to adjust. I forced my eyes to glow red, so I could see the room clearly. I frantically looked in all directions, seeing no sign of anyone until my eyes reached a far corner of the room, where Allie sat, unconscious, curled in a ball, and bleeding. "Derek! It's Allie!" I practically shouted. "What where?" He asked. "Use your wolf eyes." I said. I looked over at him as his eyes glowed blue. I then pointed to the corner and his eyes widened, filled with agonizing pain as he laid eyes on her. We both sprinted to her as fast as possible. We kneeled down beside her. "She's alive, barely, her arm looks severely broken, and I can smell some sort of wolfsbane poisoning in her blood, she needs to go to the hospital!" He said, frantically. "Take her! I'll go help the others, Stiles isn't here, but the smell of another werewolf reeks in this place!" I said. He nodded, and carefully lifted Allie into his arms. I then led him out of the room and back to the opening we came in from. Once they had safely got out, I tracked the others down.

Malia's POV

We quietly walked in a triangle formation with Cora leading, and Liam and I at her flank. We came to an abrupt halt as we heard noises coming from behind us. We all turned in that direction and quietly stood there listening. A pair of red glowing eyes formed in front of us. It was Scott and we all felt relieved. "Cora!" Scott yelled. Suddenly we heard a menacing growl from behind us and a shriek come from Cora. Liam and I quickly turned around to see Cora lifted in the air. Tears fell from her eyes, as she was slowly being lowered, but before she could be back on her feet we saw another pair of glowing red eyes right above her shoulder. We heard another growl right before Cora screamed in pain. Once her screaming ended she fell to the ground. Scott, Liam, and I started transforming.

I was the first to attack. I attempted to slash my claws across his neck, but he punched the side of my face knocking me off my feet, I then saw both Liam and Scott begin their attacks on the alpha. Liam was instantly thrown into the wall. Scott on the other hand was having better luck. He kicked the werewolf in the gut, sending him further down the hallway and slamming against a wall. He started to get up, but Scott slammed the guys shoulder's back against the wall. He struggled to get out of Scott's grip, but couldn't until he found a new solution. I saw his foot slide up to Scott's gut and I quickly stood. He threw Scott with his foot all the way back to where Liam and I were. It happened so fast I didn't even see Scott's flying body coming towards me until he hit me, making us both fall. I looked up to see Liam charging the much bigger werewolf. "Liam don't!" Scott yelled, but it was too late. He grabbed Liam by the throat, his claws threatening to break the skin. Scott and I both stood up. "Stop! Please! Let him go!" Scott begged. He didn't answer. "You're Jackson's alpha aren't you?" Scott asked. "How do you know Jackson?" He growled. Scott took a tiny step forward. "He's an old friend." Scott admitted. "Are you a Hale?" He asked in a monstrous tone. "No. What do you want with the Hale's?" Scott asked. "Get me Peter Hale, and I won't kill this pathetic little beta of yours." He growled. "Why do you want Peter?" I asked. "He killed my mother! So I want to kill him!" He roared. I began to transform again. I growled at him, ready to attack until suddenly a sharp pole from what looked like a staircase came right through his chest. Then not too long after that his throat was slashed, and he fell to the ground, letting go of Liam. Liam frantically ran and stood behind Scott. We stared at the small figure that stood above the alpha werewolves body, it was the kid, the same kid that Liam said was with Jackson. The kid slowly looked up at us and his eyes flashed red, then back to brown. This young kid is now an alpha. "I'm sorry for all that my brother put you through." He apologized. Scott slowly stepped forward. "He was your brother?" Scott asked. The boy nodded. "What's your brothers name?" Scott asked again. "Adrian." The boy said. Scott stepped a little closer. "What's your name?" The boy looked up at Scott. "Ryder." He said. "Hey Ryder, my name is Scott, I'm a friend of Jackson's. Can you tell me where he is?" Scott asked. Ryder was silent for a moment. "I can take you to him." Ryder explained. Scott nodded, he and Liam followed Ryder, while I stayed back to get Cora out. She was barely breathing, so I needed to get her to which ever one of Derek's cars he had left.

Scott's POV

We followed Ryder out of the catacombs and towards the old Hale house. The early morning sky was beginning to brighten. We walked up to the front door of the house and pushed it open slightly, we were shocked at the sight. "What happened?" I asked, seeing Jackson's limp body lying face down on the floor with the same type of poll Ryder used to kill Adrian, through his chest. Ryder looked down. "Adrian killed him." He said, fighting back the tears. "Why?" I asked again, desperately wanting answers. "Because he refused to help Adrian hurt Allie. I refused to but it was harder for me to, especially sinceAdrian was the one who bit me. I liked Allie, she was sweet and funny. I hated it when he forced me to help kidnap her. Jackson hated it too. We didn't want to be monsters, but he had such hatred towards Peter, his anger made it harder to refuse him. I honestly don't have any hate towards the Hale's." He explained. We stood in silence for a moment. "Ryder, how old are you?" I asked. "14." He said. "Ryder I can help you be a better alpha than your brother was." I said. He looked up at me. "I don't want to be an alpha, I didn't kill him for power, I killed him, because he's a bad person." He said. "I can take care of you." I reassured. He nodded. "Can I take some time to think about that?" He asked. I nodded. We were interrupted by footsteps coming from behind us. "Guys, we need to get Cora to the hospital! It's not looking good!" She said. "What about Allie?" Ryder asked. "She's alive, hurt, but alive. Her brother Derek took her to the hospital." I explained. "Have you found Stiles yet?" He asked. I looked down and shook my head. "If I find him, I'll bring him to you." He said. He wasn't lying, I could tell. I nodded and Malia, Liam, and I ran to Derek's Toyota, and sped to the hospital.
