Night School

We run down the hallway of the school and stop around a corner. "So, Deaton is the Alpha after all," Stiles says.


"Stiles!" I hiss.


"Scar, he was gone and the Alpha came only a few seconds later. What does that tell you?" he fires back. 


I don't respond to his rhetorical question. "Did he kill Derek?" I ask.


"He got stabbed through the chest, blood coming out of his mouth and he was held up in the air then thrown to the side like beef jerky. Who survives that?"


I cock my head to the side. "Beef jerky?"


"Can we focus less on Derek, or Deaton, and more on staying alive?"Scott says. "What do we do?"


"Well, I'm not dying here. I'm not dying at school. We get to my Jeep and we get the hell out of here. You two need to seriously consider quitting your job."


I nod. We run to where we have our chemistry class to see where the Alpha is. We look out the window. "Stiles, your Jeep," I say.


The hood is smashed in. Something heavy crashes through the window and we duck to avoid the broken glass. "Isn't that your car battery? Don't we need that?" Scott asks.


"Looks like it doesn't want us to leave," I say.


Stiles suggest we hide in the locker room since there were fewer windows. We hear footsteps so we hide behind lockers. It turns out to be the janitor. He's in the middle of trying to kick us out when he gets killed by the Alpha. I start to panic a little. Great, now he's inside. We decide to trap the Alpha somehow. Stiles uses his key ring to diverse the Alpha. We get him to go into a room that has a heavy metal door. When Stiles closes the door, we push a desk up against it. While I and Scott are trying to think of a way to get rid of the Alpha, Stiles starts taunting him. "Stiles, stop it," I say, but he ignores me.


We think he's locked up but the Alpha suddenly breaks the ceiling tile and goes through the crawling space available. While we're on guard, I hear Allison's phone ring. I thought I was hallucinating. I look at Scott and he nods, which meant he hears it too. "Stiles, let me see your phone," I ask.


When we call her phone, we find her in the lobby. "Allison, what are you doing here?" Scott asks.


"You texted me to meet you here," she replies.


I look at Scott. "Why would you text her?"


Scott shakes his head in denial. "I didn't text you."


Then Jackson and Lydia came walking down the hallway. What the hell is this? A class reunion? We hear moving around in the ceiling and we make a run for it. We regroup in a classroom. Everyone is just pushing for answers and we can't give half of them. "Does this have to do with all the recent killings?" Allison asks.


"It was Derek. Everything was Derek, including tonight. He wrecked Stiles' Jeep and trapped us here. He's probably the one that sent you the text," Scott lies.


I look at him and I almost want to rip his throat out. "Derek Hale?" Allison asks. Scott nods. Allison looks at me. "Scarlett?


I hesitate all eyes are on me. I knew what Scott had to say was a lie but I knew the truth would sound like a lie. So, I just go with it. "Yeah, it was Derek."


"Call the police," Jackson says. It was more of a demand than a suggestion.


"No," I say.


"What do mean 'no'?"


"She means no," Stiles replies. "You wanna hear it in Spanish? 'No'." I smirk at his small Spanish accent.


"Well, I'm calling them," Lydia says.


When she tries to explain what happened to the operator, she doesn't believe her because of the past prank calls from the school. "We need a way out," I mention.


"There's a fire escape but the door is locked," Stiles points out.


"Where are the keys?" Jackson asks.


"On the dead janitor," I say with a sigh.


Scott volunteers to go get them and I make it clear I'm going with him. "Stay here. The...'Derek' could be out there," Scott says.


"Well, 'Derek' doesn't scare me and I'm not letting my brother go out there and get killed," I reply through my teeth.


"Well, I don't wanna lose my sister to 'Derek'."


I look into his brown eyes, feeling tears burn in mine. "Scott, you're not gonna lose me. Ever. I swear."


He kisses me on my forehead. "I can't risk that." He starts to walk off but I follow. He turns and snaps at me. "I said stay here!"


Scott had never snapped at me. I just grab him by the arm and go out into the hallway. "Scott! What the hell was that? You might have to protect all of them in there but I can take care of myself."


"It's my duty, as your brother, to protect you."


"And it's my duty, as your sister, to protect you."


"Scarlett, just stay here."


I go back into the classroom. Minutes later, I hear a low growl. I feel my wolf try to force its way out. Control yourself, Scarlett. I hear Scott coming down the hall, growling. I go to the door and lean against it. "What's going on?" Lydia asks.


I shake my head. "What? Nothing."


Allison pushes past me and tries to open the door. She jiggles the knob but it doesn't turn. "What's going on?" she repeats.


Before I can make up a lie, I hear sirens outside. Sheriff. Sheriff Stilinski has to confirm with us that we were sure that Derek is responsible for everything. I'm hesitant but I go along with everything Scott and Stiles said.


We go off to the side after all the questioning and I slap Scott as soon as we stop walking. He holds his cheek with a shocked expression. "What did I do?"


"What did you do? Oh, I don't know. Maybe frame Derek for multiple murders and trapping six teenagers in a school when you know damn well he didn't!"


"He's gonna be fine," Stiles says, putting his hand on my shoulder. 


I slap his hand away. "Everyone knows who Derek is and where he lives. They're gonna catch him and he'll go to jail for things he didn't do."


Stiles tries to ease the tension by changing the subject a bit. "We just survived the Alpha," he points out.


Scott nods. "True, but I doubt that'll be the last time we see him. He could've killed us at any time. He wants me and Scar a part of his pack."


"But we have to get rid of our old pack."


"What old pack?"


"Allison, Lydia, Jackson....you," Scott replies.


We glance over and see Deaton in the back of an ambulance. He explains to us that he escaped from Derek's car but he doesn't know how. Scott sees Allison and goes to talk to her. He comes back with a sad look. We get home to find our mom sleep so we slip into bed. "Scott, what happened with Allison?"


"She said she doesn't know if she can trust me. She told me not to call her."


I feel sorry for Scott. Maybe she's what kept him from killing our friends. "Scarlett?"


I turn and push my body over the edge so my head is hanging upside down. "Yeah?"


He laughs. "Back at the school, I snapped, I'm sorry."


"It's okay. I know what you were trying to do and I appreciate it."


He just smiles and rolls over. I laugh and settle back in my bed.
