Chapter 4

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lydia had called and the three were on their way to the school. They were now in the band room.

"Can we get a copy of this?" Deaton asked her as she sent him a copy

"Hey, doc, any help would be, you know, helpful." Stiles said

"Each grouping of three would have its own purpose, its own type of power. Virgins, healers, philosophers, warriors..." he said

"wait, wait, wait, wait. Warrior, could that also be like a soldier?" Stiles asked "Absolutely."

"Kyle was in R.O.T.C. with Boyd. That's got to be it. That's the pattern."

"Where's Boyd?" Gray asked

"He's probably home by now. I'm gonna try and get him on the phone." Stiles said "Lydia? Something wrong?" Deaton said

"No, it was... I mean... I just thought of someone else with a military connection." she

said

"Who?" Grayce asked

"It's sitting right on his desk... the west point honor code." she said

"I'll go find Scott." Grayce said and took off looking for him. She found Scott and Isaac and they told her what they did to the alpha twins. they turned down a hallway and saw them.

"Shit." Gray said they took off their shirts and one got down on the ground as the other shoved his hand into his brother. They morphed into one giant wolf.

"Not two alphas. One." Grayce said as she felt dread set in Isaac threw his bag to the floor. Rolling up his sleeves.

"We can take him."

"Are you kidding" Scott held him back as the twins ran for them, "Isaac." He called the three ran and the twins picked up Scott and Isaac and threw the two of them into Grayce. She could hear a tapping on the ground as someone approached an old man, the twins stopped growing and became themselves again. The blind man took the bottom off his walking stick and revealed a small blade. He simply slashed them across the face leaving a faint scratch on both of their cheeks. He replaced the little cap and began tapping and walking as the twins followed.

"Miss. Hale-" said the blind man, "I look forward to seeing you...in action." he said darkly as they left the building. With that Gray got up and she looked around as Scott and Isaac got up too. She ran. She ran out of the building and just kept running.

She spent hours in the woods wandering until she reached the place that was both so familiar and so distant now. The blackened charred husk of her childhood home. She went inside and kicked things around. She sighed as she saw burnt photo frames, she made her way to the place she knew would clear and cloud her head. She walked into the room and fell to her knees in the center of it. She began crying. As her tears fell the sky clouded and rain began falling.

"I don't want it anymore!" she screamed over the roaring of the rainfall. She sobbed as water dripped in the basement where her family had burned. She screamed and cried and finally when the storm was howling on and getting even more treacherous, nature's call ran a cold whisper down her spine. She cried more and finally she knew she had to go home. So she walked through the woods and to her brother's loft. She walked in and the door opened as Isaac stopped and looked at her. Then he brushed past her leaving.

"Where is he going? It's not safe out there." she said

"I kicked him out." Derek said

"Der-"

"Why were you out there? It's getting dangerous, flash flooding, lightning strikes. You could have been hurt." Cora jumped in. Gray scoffed

"I'm fine."

"You're soaked Gray. focus on that go shower get dressed, Isaac is gone. It's for the best. She lost it. She screamed. The force of air from her lungs knocked him to his knees. As the ground shook. She calmed herself and lightning struck several times around the building,

"I'm angry, you lied, Derek, you kicked out Isaac, why?" she asked

"The alpha's were here today they want me to kill one of my betas. Isaac is better off not being here." Derek said

"You are a dumb ass Derek, they want you alone, no pack, no one, they will strip you of everything until you join them." she said her eyes flashing purple like they had since she was a baby wolf. She pulled them back and her eyes became her natural blue. She stumbled back, "I- I'm sorry." she said and ran up the steps to the bathroom. Her breathing was heavy. This was not a good sign. For years she had been dancing for twelve hours a day. Now she was losing her shit for a few days without. Her mother had debated for a long time about her going to NYADA for this reason, she knew if Grayce became too dependent on her control it would end badly. She took some deep breaths and got in the shower and got dressed and got in bed
