Like the Red Death showing up in an Edgar Allan Poe story, the Darach had come to Beacon Hills.
With that grimmest of reapers looming over us, how did we cope?
In the case of Issac and Boyd, it was through underlying anger, ready to go off like a ticking time bomb.
Wrong wire and kaboom!
Just after the success of making Jared throw up (in thanks of Stilinski) Allison, Lydia,and Stiles help Scott to the bathroom.
The worry for their friend clouding the judgement as they are unaware of the bomb that's about to explode just outside the bathroom walls.
If the shock from seeing Derek's body dead on the escalator didn't make Issac mad it was surely the body of the new kid.
He couldn't get it out of his head, it was like seeing the body of his father.
Sweet Pea was a mystery to Issac, one that screams danger and smelled heavily of trouble. But just like the shadows that dance along the along the walls, you can't help but be intrigued and can't help but wonder of their existence.
He knew Sweet Pea didn't want anything to do with them, and he figured he hated them as much. But thanks to the twins and the Alpha Pack in general, Sweet Pea was dragged into the mess of the supernatural.
He --just like Scott, felt responsible for his death. He didn't know why he was there in the first place, but he figured it had something to do with Allison.
He wasn't oblivious to the bond they shared even if Sweet Pea fails to acknowledge it.
Maybe it was taunting look coming from Ethan, or the flashbacks to that night or the state Scott was in.
Issac just snapped.
He saw red as he threw punch after punch at Ethan. He didn't stop not even when Danny tried prying him off, or even when coach yells at home to stop.
"Isaac!"
It was the yell coming from Scott that he stopped. He turns to the beta as he glanced from the boy to his wound that hid underneath his shirt.
Scott couldn't say anything because he knew what this was about. If he was wrong he at least had an idea of it.
After they got on the bus the werewolves in the seats couldn't help but snort and their heart wrench in sadness.
"If only Sweet Pea was actually here we might actually have a chance at winning and get these hormonal teenagers under control." The exact words coming from coach himself.
Sweet Pea was on the team and if he were alive he would be on the bus. Most likely ignoring the Scooby Gang and (in Stiles opinion) think about snakes and his cult.
But he wasn't here, thus resulting in Jared (a kid who gets motion sickness) attending the away meet. The other students (with the exception of the Scooby Gang, Boyd and Ethan) figured the boy either ditched the meet or was in a overnight cell.
Allison and Scott sat side-by-side, Lydia and Stiles in front of them.
After Lydia spoke her opinion on the sacrifices she couldn't help but wonder Stiles's hatred to the new kid.
So she asked as Stiles sat there with a simple answer, as if he was waiting for the topic to come up.
"Because he's evil and a cult leader." Lydia quirked a brow at him as a silent "explain".
But she instantly regrets it as it brought Stiles into a long, long, long rant about the boy.
And he only started on his tattoo.
Behind them Allison was off into space. Scott noticed as she was picking at one of her front pockets mindlessly. "What's that?" He asked.
Allison slightly jumps as she looked to where his eyes was and it was the pocket that held a picture. One she found last night that answered one of her questions but it eventually lead to a million more.
She sighs, hesitant on pulling the picture out, "Th-this is a picture I found that night."
Scott gingerly grabbed the photo, it was Sweet Pea and some girl with purple hair. It sent a chill down his spine.
It was the dry blood that stained the photo, but it was different. "I checked the blood, it was from long time ago. This picture and the blood on it was from months ago. See how it fades into the photo."
Allison spoke pointing to the red spots that if you tried to rub it off, it would come off or smudge. It was permanently stained blood red.
Allison sighs, not telling the full story until she flipped it over and there was a writing behind it. Small, and it looks like chicken scratch.
She wasn't the first and definitely not the last. See you tonight Sweet Pea
This was why he was there. Allison said she tried to look for him before she came but didn't see him anywhere. Not even at the bar they found him at.
"Excuse me? Have you seen Sweet Pea?" Allison asked the bartender, she couldn't remember his name. The man shook his head, "Not since that scrawny pale kid ratted him out to the Sheriff he hasn't been here." Allison sighs as she looked around at the dark room. The smell of smoke and alcohol filled her nose as she left back outside.
It was getting late, she either needs to leave now or it'll be too late. So that what she did she headed straight to the empty and abandoned building.
Scott ran his fingers over the writing. Whoever this girl was, the Alphas knew who she was and used her to lead Sweet Pea to the fight.
Whatever this message was, Sweet Pea got it and wasn't happy.
Scott shakes his head as the fight begins. All he wanted was to talk it out and yet here was in another werewolf fight--again.
Just as he joined he couldn't help but hear the whisper from Issac.
"Sweet Pea?"
His attention brought somewhere else as did everyone when they spotted the familiar new kid.
But the look on his face showed pure anger. It was directed at the blind Alpha himself. "You! You're the one..." Sweet Pea spars as he storms towards the man. He didn't hear the rest as the roar of the twins coming from the floor above.
Scott glanced around and everyone --minus the Alpha pack we're surprised to see him. The others looked smugged, even Deucalion himself. They we're expecting him, like bait.
"Sweet Pea! Get out of he-No!" Scott screams as the twins transformed into one and attacked the leather clad boy. The fight resumes as Emmett yanked Scott by his neck.
Scott shook the memory away.
