Witchy Woman

Derek paced the room, "She's not dead."
"Derek, he said, 'there's a dead body. It's Erica' doesn't exactly leave us much for interpretation" Stiles said while pointing to Isaac.
Angrily Derek asked, "Then who was in the vault with Boyd?"
"Someone else, obviously."
"Maybe, it was the girl on the motorcycle." Scott suggested. "The one that saved you?" He looked at Isaac hoping for a good answer.
"No, she wasn't like us." He informed them, "And whoever was in the vault with Boyd was."
"Maybe that's how Erica died." Stiles piped in, "They, like, pit them against each other during the full moons and see which one survives. It's like werewolf thunderdome"
"Then we get them out tonight." Derek declares.
"Be smart about this Derek."Deaton tells him.
Stella studies Derek wondering what he's thinking, she tells him "You can't just go storming in."
"If Isaac got in, then so can we." He insists.
"But he didn't get through a vault door, did he?" Deaton counters.
"We need a plan." Scott determines.
Derek looks at Scott, "How are we gonna come up with a plan to break into a bank vault, in less than 24 hours?"
"Uh, I think someone already did." Stiles says looking at his phone, "Beacon Hills First National Bank closes its doors three months after vault robbery." He reads, "Doesn't say here how it was robbed, but it probably won't take long to find out."
"How long?" Derek asks him.
"It's the internet, Derek. Okay? Minutes." Stiles says slightly rolling his eyes. Stella studied Derek waiting for him to look at her and questions her. Derek looked towards Isaac instead, mumbling something and walking out, Isaac on his heels and Stella closely behind.
Stella reached for Derek's wrist grabbing it and turning him around, "What the hell Derek, you're not even gonna say anything to me now? We haven't seen each other in what 10 years?"
Derek looked at her, "What am I suppose to say?" Inching closer to her, he turned to Isaac throwing him his car keys, "Go get the car started." He stated firmly. He waited until he could hear Isaac in the car, "What do you want me to say Stella? You left, you left when I needed you, Paige died and you left."
Stella was taken aback but soon was filled with sadness and anger, "No, you don't get to use that against me Derek, I had to leave!" She pointed at him, continuing, "You didn't just lose your girlfriend Derek, I lost my best friend, in fact, I lost both of them." She saw how hurt Derek was, but he needed to know how she felt, "You know I don't know what I expected when I saw you again, but it wasn't this." She stormed off, tears filling her eyes but not falling. And Derek stood there, watching her leave.

On the ride back to the loft, Isaac had so many questions he wanted to ask Derek, but he wasn't sure if he could. Derek smelling how anxious and confused he was told him, "You get one question."
"Alright." Isaac said thinking, "How do you know her?"
Derek sighed, thinking back to the first time he met her.

Flashback
Freshman year, a new school, a few new people, and the year Stella and Derek met. Stella was walking down the hallway of Beacon Hills High when she ran into someone, "Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry, I wasn't looking where-" she stopped her sentence, turning around coming face to face with beautiful green eyes.
The boy who owned those eyes looked at her and smiled, "Oh uh, that's alright, um I'm Derek-Derek Hale." He told her reaching out his hand.
"Stella Daniels." She said shaking his hand smiling.

Coming out of the flashback, Derek answered Isaac's question, "We met in high school, we were friends, good friends."
Isaac looked at him, "So how did you not know she was Scott's sister? Did you not know her last name or something?"
"I knew her last name idiot." Derek said irritated, "It just wasn't McCall, it was Daniels, it was her fathers last name."

On the other side of town Stella was at the hospital talking to her mom. "Are you sure it's okay if I stay at the house?"
Melissa looked up from the chart she was holding, "Sweetheart you're my daughter I'm not gonna let sleep in a hotel bed when you have a perfectly good one at the house."
Stella smiled at her mom, "Thank you."
Her mom gave her a hug and a kiss on the cheek, "Alright I gotta get back to work, I'll see you at home."

At the Stilinski residence Scott and Stiles searched for a way to get into the bank, but ended up falling asleep. The next morning Stiles's dad, Sheriff Stilinski, came into his room to wake them up and let them know they needed to get to school. "Dad!" Stiles shouted stopping his father, "Heather?" He questioned.
Shaking his head he told his son, "No, nothing yet." And started walking out of the house.
Stiles got up sighing, "Ten hours of nothing."
"We're gonna find something." Scott told him.
"Finding something doesn't make Erica any less dead or Boyd any less about-to-be-dead."
"Well, we still have time." Scott said trying to give him some hope.
"Is this whole, like, 'remain optimistic in the face of complete and utter disaster' thing a part of the 'be a better Scott McCall' program?" He asked blinking at his best friend.
"Uh, not if it doesn't work."
Sighing Stiles told him, "No, it works." Looking at one of the articles in his hand he realized something. "Oh, Dad! Dad?" He shouted hoping he hadn't left for work yet. Running after him he handed the article to Scott to show him what he found: A picture of his dad arresting the bank robbers.
Stiles drove him and Scott to school, jumping out of the Jeep, Scott reads a message from his phone, "Alright, so we meet at Derek's at 5:00 to go over the plan, and then we don't get started until dark."
Putting his backpack on Stiles asks him, "Okay, what do we do till then?"
"What right now? We've got English, but I gotta make a phone call first."
"To who?" Stiles questions.
"Stella, I'm sure Derek didn't tell her about the plan so now I've got to." He says pulling out his phone as Stiles walks into the school. He scrolls down his contact list and finds her name, tapping it he dials her number.
"Hey, what's up?" Stella answers.
"We're meeting at Derek's place at 5:00 to go over the plan." Scott lets her know.
"Okay, where does Derek live?" She asks.
Scott silently remembering she hasn't been around tells her, "I'll text you his address I gotta go, bye."
Hanging up the phone Stella looks down at the address Scott sent her, thinking to herself she decides to go over there now, she wanted to talk to him, alone.
