outburst

"Come on Derek." Adrianna punched him again, his cheek red and a bruise starting to form. His head bobbled but he didn't wake. She balled her fist up again and punched him, again.

Derek awoke with a shock, his eyes frantically looking around and his breath slightly quickened. "Where is she?"

Adrianna glanced up at the service hatch, "Gone."

"With Scott's mum." Stiles suddenly exclaimed, skidding to a stop in front of the open elevator doors, his chest rising and falling rapidly.

"She's the second sacrifice." Adrianna muttered, more to herself than anything.

"Yeah and if that's not enough of a kick to the balls, Scott left with Deucalion, okay? So we gotta get you two out of here. The police are coming right now, and we gotta get you the hell out of here." Stiles rambled out.

Adrianna was speechless as her mind tried to process everything Stiles just said. Jennifer took Melissa and Scott left with Deucalion. How the hell did this go so wrong?

Adrianna snapped out of her thoughts and grabbed Derek's hand, hoisting him from the ground.

"Where's Cora?" Derek asked, his eyes praying that she was okay, that she got out.

Adrianna took in a deep breath, "Hopefully Isaac got her out."

---

Derek practically jumped out of the car as soon as he put on the brakes and immediately headed towards the other car in the lot. Adrianna opened the door and slowly got out, her mind unable to focus on anything but her breathing.

"Where's Scott and Stiles?" Allison questioned.

"Stiles is still at the hospital. He's gonna hold off the cops for us." Derek leant into the back seat of the car, carefully picking the unconscious Cora up and shutting the door. "We have to go now."

"What about Scott and Melissa?" Chris questioned.

Isaac walked over to Derek's car, a frown creasing his forehead as he eyed Adrianna standing near the car, her head down. He opened the door for Derek to put Cora in the back seat.

"Jennifer took Melissa." Derek answered. He slammed the door shut and looked to the others, taking in their reactions for a second. He was beyond pissed but he couldn't do anything about it now. He started to walk around the car and to the drivers seat, he had to get Cora back to the loft.

"What about Scott?" Allison questioned.

Adrianna looked up to Allison, her eyebrows pulling together. How was she supposed to tell them this? That Scott left with Deucalion, that he's sided with them.

"Derek, where's Scott?" Allison pressed.

Adrianna looked to Derek whom had stopped ignoring her and had turned around. His lips pulled into a tight line. She looked back to her cousin, "Allison, Scott left with Deucalion."

---

Her breathing was shallow and it sounded as if she could only taken in small gulps of air at a time, she was as pale as the moon but as hot as the sun. She was struggling and they all knew she didn't have long left, whether anyone wanted to admit it or not.

"She's dying isn't she?" Isaac spoke up.

"I don't know." Derek responded, his eyes not leaving Cora's sleeping form. He wouldn't let her die, he didn't care what he had to do.

"So what are you gonna do?" Isaac asked.

Derek shook his head ever so slightly, his eyes almost glossy. "I don't know."

"Want to figure something out?" Adrianna snapped her eyes to Isaac, her eyebrows pulled together as she felt his growing anger and annoyance all directed at Derek. "Because while Scott and Stiles were out there trying to help people from being killed, you were in here, rolling around the sheets with the actual killer."

"Isaac." Adrianna warned. They can't be mad at Derek for falling for her, he didn't know, she was good at hiding her true identity, none of them knew that she was the killer when she was practically dancing in front of them.

Isaac ignored her and continued, "Do you get how many people she's killed? Erica and Boyd are dead, Cora is dying, and you are doing nothing!"

"Isaac." Adrianna raised her voice and was on her feet now, her eyes staring holes into Isaac. She understood his pain, his worry, his anger but he had no right to take it out on Derek.

Isaac looked to her, his eyes broken and starting to water. He gulped and looked back to Derek, the venom in his tone not going down. He was pissed but for all the wrong reasons. "Why'd you do this to us Derek? Was it all about the power? Were you bored?" Isaac leant on his knees so he was right in Derek's face. "Were you lonely?"

Derek looked at Adrianna, his eyes had given up. He didn't care about fighting with them, trying to defend himself, he only wanted Cora better. He looked to Isaac, "Maybe."

Isaac sighed and stood up, running his hands through his hair. He started to walk off towards the large door.

"I told Cora I wouldn't leave. I'll help the others when I figure out how to help her." Derek attempted to justify.

"There's no time!" Isaac yelled at Derek, his eyes ablaze. He walked up the stairs and was ready to open the door. "The full moon's coming. The Sherriff and Melissa are going to be dead, so i'm gonna try and help them." He pulled the door open and walked out, turning back to Derek one last time. "You can sit here and perfect the art of doing nothing." He glanced at Adrianna before slamming the door shut.

Adrianna let out a breath she didn't know she had in. She turned away from Derek and ran her hands through her hair. She could feel his eyes on her and it made her even more stressed. Everyone was angry, everyone's scared, people's lives are on the line and they have no leads. How the hell were they supposed to help Cora, find the Sherriff and Melissa, kill Jennifer and the alpha pack?

"I wouldn't take it personally. Anger is just a tool." Peter started climbing down the spiral stairs. "He's using it to excuse shifting allegiance. From one alpha to another. From you to Scott."

Adrianna rolled her eyes, she didn't fell like dealing with Peters dramatic mood swings tonight.

"Scott's not an alpha yet." Derek responded.

"But he's on his way isn't he?"

Adrianna shook her head, moving to look at the window at the night sky, the sun would be up soon and they would have to face another day where they were helpless. Kali would come for them the next full moon, Jennifer would sacrifice Scott and Stiles' parents and Scott would surely run off with Deucalion once his mother is killed, if he hasn't already decided to.

"Do you agree with him?" Derek wondered.

Adrianna let out a long breath, pulling her bottom lip between her teeth. She turned around to face him, "No."

Derek looked up to her, clearly shocked.

"But, I can't sit around and do nothing, I can't wait for a magical cure to pop up to save her. I need to help, somehow."

Derek slowly nodded, his eyes carefully watching Adrianna's. He couldn't handle an outburst from her too, he needed her.

She watched him for a few moments before nodding to herself. She started walking towards the exit.
She paused as she opened the loft door, "It's not your fault Derek. She will get better and you'll be there to help her."

She offered him a small smile before leaving.
