Chapter Nineteen: The Bank

I walked into Derek's and I plopped down on the couch waiting for him to get here. I soon passed out, when I felt someone place a blanket over me. All I thought of was my dad, which caused me to say, "I love you, dad." But the hand that I grabbed felt different but caring and I didn't want to let go. When the hand left mine, I felt lost.

-A Hour Later-

I awoke to Scott, Stiles, and Derek surrounding a table, with the blueprints of a building in the center. I walked over to see what they were talking about. I stood by Scott as Derek held up his fist.

"Okay. Okay, big guy, let's see it! Let's see that fist. Big old fist. Make it, come on! Get it out there! Don't be scared, big bad wolf!" Stiles said to Derek.

Stiles put his hand three inches away from Derek's fist. "Yeah, look at that! Okay, see this? That's maybe three inches of room to gather enough force to punch through solid co—"

Derek punched it, sending Stiles tumbling onto the table, "He could do it." Stiles groaned in pain.

"Derek!" I yelled.

He sighed, "I'll get through the wall. Who's following me?"

Peter scoffed, sitting on the stairs, "Don't look at me! I'm not up to fighting speed, yet. And honestly, with Isaac out of commission, you're not looking at very good odds for yourself."

"So, I'm supposed to just let them die?"

Peter shrugged, "One of them is already dead."

Derek became irritable, "We don't know that!"

I walked over and placed my hand on his back, I could feel the tension in his back, as he started to calm down.

Peter exasperated, "Do I have to remind you what we're up against here? A pack of Alphas, all of them killers. And, if that's not enough to scare your testicles back into your stomach, try to remember that two of them combine bodies to form one giant Alpha." he slowly walked over to the couch and sat down, "I'm sure Erica and Boyd were sweet kids. They're going to be missed." he muttered.

"Could someone kill him again, please?" Stiles asked.

I flicked my claws, "With pleasure."

Derek grabbed my waist, pulling me back. Peter let out a sigh, "Derek, seriously? Not worth the risk."

"What about you?" Derek asked looking at me and Scott.

Stiles stammered, "Yeah, if you want me to come..."

"Not you."

Stiles nodded, "Got it."

"I don't know about Erica... But, if Boyd's alive, we have to do something. We have to try." Scott said.

Derek hesitated for a minute, "But...?"

"Who's the other girl? The one locked in there with Boyd?" Scott asked.

I had no idea what they were talking about. Who is this other girl? Why are they locked in a bank? But what distracted me from those thoughts was the arm that was still wrapped around my waist. Derek's arm.

-First National Bank-

Derek, Scott, and I made our way into the National bank. The room was dark, Derek ran over to Boyd as he tried to get his attention, Scott's phone rang.

"Stiles now is not the best time..."

"Scott! Scott! No, listen to me, okay? Look, you got to get out of there. Look, the walls of the vault are made from a mineral called Hecatolite—it scatters the moonlight." Stiles warned.

"What does that mean?"

"Look, it keeps the moonlight out, okay? They haven't felt the full moon in months—" Stiles informed, "Scott, they're going to be stronger—"

"Derek, Leia... we got a problem. A really big problem."

Suddenly a growling sound came out from the other side of the corner, Derek looked up, stunned. "Cora?"

"Who?" Scott asked, confused.

The girl known as Cora managed to speak, "Derek... get out. Get out now!" but she then lunged towards Scott as I jumped on her. We started to claw at each other. Scott and Derek were fighting with Boyd, Scott asked, "You know her?"

"She's my sister, my younger sister..."

"What the hell is she doing here?" Scott asked.

Derek was hysterical, "Like I have a clue? I thought she was dead."

As I was dealing with Cora, I noticed a figure standing off in the distance. A man with a cane and dark shades. Something made me stop fighting, my attention was drawn to him. I stood up and started towards the vault door, the man was smiling as if he knew I would come.

Then I heard a voice in my head. "Leia... Leia, my child... it's daddy. Don't... stay away from him..."

I shook my head, as if to wake up I saw Allison, Scott, and Derek arguing. I was so confused about where Cora and Boyd were, and the man with the cane. It was like I missed the past ten minutes. What is going on with me? And why did my father tell me to stay away from this man? I don't think this is the first time my family has been to Beacon Hills. And I intend to find out.
