Part 8

As Alex started to come too, her eyes kept slowly opening and closing. They flashed a vibrant red for a second as she realized she was tied up. This made Derek's atenttion turn to her and Kate smiled. She moved over to the teen huntress and lifted her head to look her in the eyes. 

"I was wondering if I was ever going to see those pretty blue eyes." she stated, Alex pulled herself away from Kate and saw Derek alive and tied up as well. She started looking around and moved to rock her chair, making Kate laugh. 

"Decent training, sadly, we glued the chair to the ground." She almost started giggling seeing how the huntress started to struggle. 

Kate stopped her and said: "See, Derek either doesn't know who the Alpha is or wont give it up. So, this is how it's going to work..." she moved over to Derek. "You are gonna tell me what you know, since I already know who the beta is. I want the Alpha. If you don't... Derek's gonna die." 

"What makes you think I care about him?" Alex stated, trying very hard to keep her heartbeat steady. 

Derek's face briefly displayed a frown, making Kate laugh, "You really meant that, huh?" 

"I won't tell you anything, bitch!" Alex's anger started getting to her and she spat in Kates face. 

"See, I actually thought you could be the beta. Until Derek here helped me figure out that it's Scott. Your brothers best friend..." She trailed off then Scoffed: "Chris said you marked any werewolf here as your hunt. You knew about Scott since the start. You weren't hunting them, you were protecting them... No, you were protecting Stiles. It's funny that your always there when something happens to people you care for. I remember seeing you at the fire as well." 

Both Alex and Derek roughly tugged at their restraints, remembering the painful event. 

"See, you did something that night. I somehow can't remember what, but I have a mark to tell the story," She stopped and revealed the mark that matched mine. A type of broken swirl that almost looked like a wing. 

She then tore my shirt and revealed my one. "It's no coincidence that you have it as well." 

"You better hope the Alpha gets you before I do, because so help me god, I'll make your death slow and full of agony, pain and suffering compared to anything he could come up with." Alex sneered making Kate glare at her. 

"Not as painful as this," Kate smiled as she took a blade out. She let it heat with the electricity and continued: "An old emissary once said that the one I share the mark with. Whoever that might be, has to revieve a special carving to make sure we aren't bonded by said mark. Or something like that, I don't know. Now I'm gonna try it on you."

The hot blade was taken and dragged along Alex's right hands forearm, just below her wrist. At first the drawing was a simple circle and it seemed like Alex had gone numb. As the marking was cut onto her skin, that was when Alex started to squirm. Unbeknowist Kate, the marking was angelic and was causing pain no human could endure. Alex started screaming, she couldn't stay strong as the carvings were bleeding out and draining her of energy. It had been a miracle she was strongwilled enough to not turn into her werewolf form. 

Long in the distance of Beacon. Stiles and Peter had both heard Alex's screams. Then Scott's howling as the screams stopped and left Peter with a scene of flashback. 

(TW: Self harm) 

Peter saw a girl, closely resembling Alex, yet she had a bit more life in her eyes. She had clearly cried. Her nephews had just let her come back home and she saw the remains of the Hale house. She couldn't take the pain, her young mind was unable to process what she wanted to do. But her body had taken control. Her feelings didn't exist in the moments, leading up to it. She left numb. With a bathtub full of water, a large amount of pills and two long cuts going vertically along her arms, Alex laid in her tub... awaiting death. Luckily, a familiar face came in... Jackson. He had forced her to vomit the pills whilst getting her head out of the water and applying pressure to her wrists. 

The two sat there, crying together until the bleeding had stopped. Jackson made Alex promise to never do such things to herself again. 

Peter had not noticed Stiles' gaze on him until Stiles cleared his throat. "Was that Alex? Why did you freeze?" the spazzic boy asked. 

Peter had no answer, he knew that Scott would find her and Derek once he heard his nephew's howl answer Scott's. 

Scott had found Derek only a few seconds after he got his first hand loose of the restraints and knocked one of the hunters out. Scott had demanded Derek's help to keep Allison alive, for whatever stupid reason and discussed Derek's sister's actual death. 

Derek, fueled with rage, broke himself out and broke the restraints of Alex and started carrying her. At the sudden movements, the girl had regained consciousness. If only barely. Only to be flung to the floor whilst Derek was shot with an arrow from Allison. 

Kate shoots Derek again, but Chris came to save the day. 

That was until Peter had decided to go Alpha on them. Suddenly, it didn't matter if they were werewolves or hunters, they wanted to put the alpha down. 

Peter had heard the whimpers of the beta he teamed up with and started knocking everyone down. He picked her up during this episode of speed and put her down in the Hale house. The only person left standing was, Kathrine Argent. 

Peter threw her around a bit before taking her in to the Hale house. Making sure to leave perfect display for Alex. Allison ran in behind them. 

Peter had his claws at her neck and said: "She is beautiful, Kate. She looks like you but probably not as damaged. So I'm going to give you a chance to save her. Apologize. Say that you're sorry for decimating my family, for leaving me burnt and broken for six years. Say it and I'll let her live" 

Kate, muttered with careful breaths: "I'm sorry." 

Peter clawed her throat out and turned to Allison: "I don't know about you, Allison, but that apology didn't sound very sincere." 

He wanted to attack Allison but Scott and Derek came to her rescue so that she could run away. Alex watched as Peter started throwing them around like ragdolls. He even threw Scott through a window. She hadn't managed to stand up yet. Which was what Derek was helping with until they got out of the door. Then he continued to help defeat Peter. 

Stiles came in with Jackson and his deloved Porche. They threw a cocktail of chemicals at Peter but he grabbed it which made Scott throw Allison her bow. She shot the bottle and it lit aflame. Covering Peter's arm. Then Jackson threw one at him. And soon enough Peter was alight and covered with flames. Alex was barely able to hold onto the doorframe as she watched the ordeal. Her whole body was in pain and it felt like it was only getting worse. 

As Peter started turning human she started to shake uncontrollably. Then suddenly, her whole body collapsed with a loud thud to the ground. She was shaking, almost like she was having a seizure. 

Stiles, Scott, Jackson and even Chris and Allison looked at the girl in alarm. Whilst Derek stood over Peter's brunt body. Peter's eyes, tried looking over to Alex's body but were too focussed on Derek. 

"Help Alex first!" Stiles and Jackson yelled simultaneously. 

Derek prepared himself making Scott say: " Wait! You said that the cure comes from the one who bit you. Derek, if you do this, I'm dead. Her father, her family—what am I supposed to do?" 

Peter mumbled how Derek had already decided and glowed his bright red eyes one last time before Derek slashed his throat and killed him. Alex's shaking intensified the more Stiles and Jackson tried to help. 

"I'm the Alpha now," Derek said as his eyes flashed red rather than their usual blue. 

The police arrived not long after and the Sheriff rushed towards his daughter. "Alex, come on. baby girl. I can't loose you too." He muttered as he helped escort her to his car to get to the hospital. 

"Daddy..." She trailed off in the most broken voice he had ever heard, "It hurts." were her last words as they entered the hospital. She was taken custody by Melissa McCall and put on a heart monitor. Her heart wasn't beating but they knew by now, that was normal. Her bloodpressure was dropping and her oxygen was low. 

Melissa came to the Sheriff, a low look on her face, and said: "With her condition... I'm sorry but we don't know if she's going to make it. If she's even going to get through the next hour is a mystery. We can't monitor her heart so there's no way to know..."
