Teen Wolves

Fifteen: Code Breaker

Niki & The Dove- DJ, Ease My Mind 

My heart is hammering in my chest with fear but there's something else. There's something building up inside of him. Inside of us. Derek is telling me something but I can't hear what he's saying. My ears are ringing, my body is shivering and goosebumps are breaking out over my skin. 

"Scott!" I cried out as deep pain erupted from my chest. 

I can feel the pain in him. It's taking over everything that I'm feeling. The feeling I get when there's a full moon out. It's consuming. I can't even breathe. This isn't about me trying to control my own emotions, they're his. How am I supposed to control all of this? 

"Skylar, Skylar. Look at me," Derek demanded. I'm panting uncontrollably. "That's right. Right here. Breathe with me," 

"It's not me," I cried. "It's Scott. This is coming from him," 

"I want you to close your eyes and think of something else. Anything. Being here with me. The pain. The physical one. Block him out. Don't give in to his emotions. Block him out," 

I did as he instructed. My body started to calm down. Derek and I stayed silent for a while. I felt it in my chest before I heard it. A howl. Derek and I looked at one another. He nodded encouraging me. I took a deep breath, gathering all of the strength that I have left inside of me and I let it all out. Scott instantly responded to our howls. I let out a sigh of relief. 

"When we make it out of this, you can't let Scott kill Peter," I whispered. "Promise me," 

"It was never the plan," he admitted. Fucking Hales. Joy burst out of me in tears when Scott opened the door. 

"Scott," I cried. 

"Sky. Oh, my god. Sky," he rushed over to me. 

"You have to let me go first. She's really weak right now, thanks to you," Derek demanded. 

"What?" Scott asked. "No, I'm not here for you," 

"Scott, for once listen to him. There's a guard and he's coming back," I told him. He groaned as he went over to him and uncuffed one of his hands. He turned back and stepped away. 

"I'll be right back. I swear," he promised as he rushed out of the room and shut the door. The big guy came in shortly after with a bat in his hands. 

"Ready to have some more fun?" he asked Derek. "To be honest, my knuckles are kind of hurting. So, I brought some help. But I need to warn ya. I used to play in college," 

He lifted the bat over his shoulder. Shit form, by the way. When he swung for Derek. Derek caught the back in his hand startling him. 

"We brought some help too," I growled. He glanced back over his shoulder to see Scott standing there. Derek took the opportunity to knock him out using the bat he had just been holding. 

Scott rushed over to me and helped me out of the iron cuffs while Derek removed the wires on his side. 

"Scott, help me with this," Derek demanded as he tugged in the cuff. 

"No," Scott answered in a bratty tone. 

"What?" Both Derek and I asked confused. 

"Not until you tell me how to stop Peter," 

"You really want to talk about this right now?" Derek asked him. 

"He's going after Allison and her family. He's going to kill them," 

"So, what?" Derek and I shot back at the same time. Scott glared at me but turned his attention back to Derek. 

"So, tell me how to stop him,"
