Grayce was sitting in english listening to Miss. Blake talks about idioms and cliches and whatever else. Gray had her head on her arm trying to get some sleep. She wasn't getting much sleep with all this supernatural bullshit. The bell rang and Scott turned to her.

"Wanna help us get Ethan alone?" he asked

"Sure why not." she said, yawning.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~'

"Why are you even talking to me? I helped kill your friend. How do you know I'm not gonna kill another one?" Ethan asked

"Is he looking at me? Are you threatening me? You know what I'm gonna do? I'm going to break off an extra large branch of Mountain ash, wrap it in wolfsbane, roll it in mistletoe, and shove it up your freaking-" Stiles was cut off by Scott but Grayce was laughing her ass off against the wall

"whoa, Stiles, okay. We get it. We're talking to you because I know that you didn't want to kill Boyd. And I think that if something like that happened now, you wouldn't do it again." Scott said as Gray calmed down.

"You don't know what we owe them, especially Deucalion. We weren't like Kali and Ennis when we met him. We weren't alphas." he admitted

"What were you?" Gray asked

"Omegas."

"What they hell is that?" asked Stiles

"In actual wolf packs, omegas are the scapegoat, the last to eat, the one who has to take the abuse from the rest of the pack." he said

"So you and your brother were, like, the bitches of the pack?" Gray hit Stiles for his poor wording

"Something like that." Ethan said with malice

"What happened?" Scott asked

"They were killers. I mean, people talk about us as monsters. Well, they were the ones who gave us the reputation. And our Alpha was the worst of them." Ethan told them.

"Why didn't you guys just fight back? Form voltron wolf, you know? Kick everyone's asses?" Stiles said

"We couldn't, we didn't know how to control it back then." he said

"Deucalion taught you." Grayce said

"And then, we fought. We took down the whole pack, one-by-one. And by the time we

got to our Alpha, he was begging for his life. And we tore him apart. Literally." Ethan said

"What about your emissary? They're all dead? Kali and Ennis' too?" Gray asked

"All of them except for Deucalion's." he told them

You mean Morrell?" Stiles asked. Ethan called out in pain Gray put a hand on him giving

him peace

"What? What's wrong? Are you hurt?"

"Not me. My brother" he said taking off as the four headed to find the other twin. They ended up in the locker room where Aiden was beating the shit out of Cora.

"Aiden, stop! Stop! Stop!" Lydia screamed as he continued to beat up Cora, he smacked her with a weight and Lydia held her body hoping she would be enough to stop him from doing more damage. Scott and Ethan pulled the other brother back. Stiles and Gray were with Lydia and Cora.

"You can't do this!" Ethan shouted at his brother

"She came at me!" he defended himself

"It doesn't matter! Kali gave Derek until the next full moon. You can't touch him or her." Ethan said

"Hey, guys, I think she's pretty hurt." Cora got up and began cleaning the blood off her forehead.

"Are you okay?" Stiles asked

"She doesn't look okay." Lydia agreed gray was pacing.

"I'll heal." she said

"Why would you go after him on your own? He would have killed you, Cora." Grayce said

"I knew he wouldn't Ethan said it he can't hurt me or you or any of them. Not till the next full moon." she said

"Why would you do it, you aren't stupid Cora why" Gray asked

"I did it for Boyd, none of you were doing anything."

"We're trying." Scott said

"And you're failing/" she said, "You're just a bunch of stupid teenagers running around, thinking that you can stop people from getting killed. But all you do is show up late. All you really do is find the bodies.

"She's definitely a Hale. Mm. I'll make sure she gets home." Stiles said

"I'm coming with you." she said as they headed after her.

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

They were all three now in Stiles's jeep Allison had called to warn them.

"Philosophers?" Stiles asked

"And guardians, which after last night has to mean something like law enforcement, right? Stiles, you have to tell your dad. Tell him whatever you need but you have to get him to believe. Tell your dad. Warn him." She told him

"Okay, okay, okay, I know." he said

"What are you gonna do?" Grayce asked

"I'm gonna tell him the truth. And I'm gonna need your help." he said to the two sisters. They headed to Stiles' house.

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

Gray and COra were sitting on Stiles's bed and he was pacing his dad, his arms crossed since he called him away from work for this.

"Stiles?" the sheriff asked his son

"Dad, I'm sorry, okay? I'm just... I'm trying to... I'm just trying to figure out how to start here." he said honestly

"Hey, I don't have this kind of time." he said calmly

"Um, for the last year, you've had all these cases that you couldn't figure out, right? I mean, all the murders involving Kate Argent, and then Matt killing all the people who had drowned him, and all these murders right now. It's like... it's like you've been playing a losing game." he said trying to put things in terms his father would understand

"Stiles, the last thing I need right now is a job performance review from my own son." he said

"I know. Okay, see, but that's... that's just it, dad. The..." he stalled not knowing how to continue he picked up a chess set from his shelf and knew what to do. "the reason that you're losing the game is 'cause you've never been able to see the whole board. I need to show you the whole board."
