Chapter Twenty-Four
๐ŸฆŽ Master Plan ๐ŸฆŽ


"Ow. Ow." Sawyer mumbled as some man held onto her arm while opening a door to the basement before basically pushing her down the stairs. "Bitch..." Sawyer groaned slightly before standing up, freezing slightly when she heard whimpering.ย 

She backed up against the wall, feeling around for a light switch before flicking it on. Her eyes widened slightly as she looked at the sight in front of her. Boyd and Erica, duct tape over their mouths as their hands were tied above their heads by wires.ย 

Exactly what she saw in her vision at the game.ย 

๐ŸฆŽ

"I've got to meet with the medical examiner and try to figure out what happened with Jackson. I've got an APB out on Sawyer. The Jeep is still in the parking lot, so that means.. The hell, I don't know what that means. Um, look, if she answers her phone, if she answers her emails, if any one of you sees her-" Stilinski stressed as he, Stiles, Scott, and Isaac stood around the locker room. Stiles and Stilinski looked like absolute messes as they stressed over Sawyer's disappearance.ย 

"You'll be the first person we call." Scott said and he smiled sadly and nodded, "Dad, she's probably just freaked out from all the attention or something. You know how she gets about the crowd during games. We'll find her." Stiles said. Stilinski sighed and nodded, and gently squeezed his son's shoulder, "Yeah... I'll see you, okay?" Stilinski says, but still doesn't look encouraged as he motions for his men to follow and the locker room begins clearing out.

An unusually distraught Coach approaches the three teens. He can't seem to stop turning his whistle over and over with his fingers. "McCall... We need you on the team, okay? You know I can't put you on the field next season if you don't get your grades up." Coach said and Scott nodded, "Yeah, I know, Coach..."ย 

"All right. I mean, I-I know I yell a lot, but it's not like I hate you guys. Well, I kind of hate Greenberg, but, you know... that's different. It's Greenberg! I'm just saying, we- I- need you on the team. Get your grades back up. And don't tell Sawyer, but she's my favorite student." Coach said before he walked away.ย 

"Is that everyone?" Scott asked and Isaac nodded, "I think so." He said as Stiles grabbed Sawyer's bag that she left in the boy's locker room. Stiles pulled out a shirt and a shoe and handed them to Scott, "You're gonna find him by scent?" Isaac asked and Scott nodded, "Yeah. We both are." He said, handing Isaac the shoe.ย 

"But how come you get her shirt, and I get a shoe?" Isaac asked but Scott didn't answer as he focused on something else for a moment before walking around the row of lockers. Isaac and Stiles followed him to see Derek standing there. "We need to talk." Derek says and then Peter stepped out behind him, "All of us." Peter said, making Scott's eyes widen.ย 

"Holy sh-"ย 

๐ŸฆŽ

Sawyer started to slightly breath heavily as everything that just happened started to settle in and she finally fully realized that she's been kidnapped by the Argent. And she has no idea if they know about her getting bit or not.ย 

"No, no, no, no..." She muttered before quickly getting up and running up the stairs. She tried to turn the handle only to find that it was obviously locked making her bang on the door, "Allison! Argent!" She yelled, hoping one of them would hear her and would care about her at least a tiny bit.ย 

She breathed heavily as she sat down on the steps putting her head in her hands as she tried to calm herself down before she has a full blown panic attack. She closed her eyes and took a couple deep breaths before slowly standing up and walking down that stairs.ย 

She stood in front of Erica and Boyd, her eyes slowly trailed up to the wires around their wrists before following the wires until they connected to an electrical box. Her eyes widened before she quickly ran over to it, she was about to turn the dials down until the door opened and a voice spoke up.ย 

"I wouldn't try that if I were you." Gerard said, making her freeze slightly before slowly backing away from the box and turning to him as he walked down the stairs. "Kidnapping humans is a new low..." She said while nodding, "Not just that but you kidnapped the Sheriff's only daughter. That's- That's real smart. I'm perfectly okay with pressing charges when I get out of here." She said and he just chuckled.ย 

"You're not going to press charges... And that scar on your shoulder tells me that you're not entirely human." He said and she took a deep breath, "What the hell do you even want with me of all people?" She asked.ย 

"Iโ€™m not going to kill you if thatโ€™s what youโ€™re thinking." He said and she nodded and shrugged, "Good because it won't be hard for Scott or any Werewolf to find me. They know my scent, I've been wearing the same perfume every day for weeks. And- and have you met my brother? Stiles would literally crawl through a sewer of fecal matter to find me." She said and he chuckled lowly.ย 

"You have a knack for creating a vivid picture, Miss. Stilinski. Let me paint one of my own- Scott McCall finds one of his best friends bloodied and beaten to a pulp. How does that sound?" He said and she sucked in a deep breath and chuckled nervously.ย 

"Gonna beat up the Lesbian. Sounds misogynistic and homophobic... Not to mention that I'm just a teenager. A teenage girl who's not even a third of your size-" She rambled before getting cut off by Erica screaming through the duct tape when a fist connected with Sawyer's jaw.ย 

Sawyer stumbled back, bringing her hand up to her already bloody lip that got cut on her teeth. She closed her eyes and took a shaky deep breath before turning to Gerard with glossy eyes. "Do your worse, you old dirt bag. It's your fucking funeral in the end." She said before getting striked again and again.ย 

๐ŸฆŽ

"What the hell is this?" Scott asked incredulously, making Derek raise his eyebrows, "You know, I thought the same thing when I saw you talking to Gerard at the Sheriff's station." Derek said. "Okay, hold on! He- he threatened to kill my mom! And I had to get close to him. What was I supposed to do?"ย 

"I'm gonna go with Scott on this one. Have you seen his mom? She's gorgeous!" Peter says, making Derek and Scott look at him, "Shut up!"ย 

"Who is he?" Isaac asked leaning towards Stiles, "Peter Hale, Derek's uncle. A little while back, he tried to kill us all, and then we set him on fire, and Derek slashed his throat after he bit my sister and Lydia during the Formal." Stiles said, making Isaac raise his eyebrows and take a deep breath. "Hi." Peter said, raising his hand slightly as Isaac nodded, "That's good to know."ย 

"Look, the short version is he knows how to stop Jackson... and maybe how to save him." Derek said and Isaac shrugged slightly, "Well, that's very helpful... except Jackson's dead." Isaac said, making their eyes widen. "What?" Derek asked and the teens nodded, "Yeah, Jackson's dead. It just happened on the field." Stiles said and the two Hales looked at each other.ย 

"Okay, why is no one taking this as good news?"ย 

"Because if Jackson is dead, it didn't just happen- Gerard wanted it to happen." Peter said and Derek furrowed his brows, "But why?" He asked. "Well, that's exactly what we need to figure out. And something tells me the window of opportunity is closing. Quickly."

๐ŸฆŽ

"Yeah, I'm not finding any clues here. Listen, if she- if she shows up at the hospital-" Stilinski said into the phone as he, Stiles and Anakin stood around Sawyer's room, "Okay, thanks."ย 

"Anything?" Stiles asked as Stilinski hung up before sighing and shaking his head, "Nothing." He said before glancing around Sawyer's room. "Sawyer, where the hell are you?" Stilinski whispered slightly before Anakin suddenly shot up and ran towards the door. "Right here." Sawyer said, making them spin around to see her standing in the doorway, lightly petting Anakin, with a slightly tear stained face, a bruised cheek and jaw and a busted lip.ย 

"What happened to you?" Stilinski asked, walking over to her, "Dad, it's okay." She said as he gently grabbed her face to look her over. "Who did this?" Stilinski asked and Sawyer glanced at Stiles who looked completely defeated as he saw his sister's bruised face and she sighed softly. "It's fine- A couple girls from the other school weren't too happy that their boyfriends lost. But it's fine.. I-I kinda agitated them by gloating." She said as she looked at her father's angry face.ย 

"Who were they?" He asked and she sighed and shook her head, "I- I dont know them." She said. "I want descriptions." He said and she sighed tiredly knowthing this was gonna happen, "Dad- It's not even that bad! It doesn't matter anymore." She said and he shook his head furiously.ย 

"I-I'm calling that school. I'm calling them, and I'll personally go down there, and I'm gonna pistol-whip those little b-" He started to say but she quickly cut him off, "Dad! I said I was okay." She said in a slight whisper making his face fall slightly as he noticed the tired, defeated and slightly scared look on her face.ย 

"God..." He whispered before pulling her in a hug, "I love you, sweetheart." He said before kissing her forehead and she smiled softly. "Love you too, dad." She said before he walked out the room, probably to start signing her up for self defense classes.ย 

"It wasn't girls from the other school... was it?" Stiles asked and she lightly bit her lip and a tear ran down her face before shaking her head. He quickly walked over to her and pulled her into a tight hug making her instantly hug him back.ย 

๐ŸฆŽ

Sawyer laid on her bed, with her face pretty much stuffed in Anakin's fur, when there was a knock at her door. "Guys, I said I'm fine..." Sawyer said, her voice slightly muffled by Anakin's fur before there was another knock making her sigh and get up.ย 

"I said I'm-" Sawyer started to say as she opened the door before cutting herself when she saw Lydia standing there. "Hi." Lydia said, her eyes darting around at the bruises on Sawyer's face, "Hi." Sawyer said after a moment. "Your father and Stiles let me in..." Lydia said, making Sawyer sigh deeply as she glanced down the hallway, "Of course they did." She mumbled before looking at Lydia.ย 

"What happened to your...?" Lydia asked, bringing her hand up to lightly brush her finger against Sawyer's jaw, making Sawyer suck in a deep breath. "Our principal kidnapped me and beat me up." Sawyer said nonchalantly, making Lydia's eyes widen slightly, "Figured after your birthday, I probably shouldn't beat around the bush or lie anymore..." Sawyer said before looking at Lydia for a moment.ย 

"Do you want to come in?" Sawyer asked, opening her door wider so Lydia could walk in, before closing the door. "How are you doing?" Sawyer asked as tears started to well up in Lydia's eyes, "They won't let me see him. I'm supposed to give him something. He kept asking for it back..." Lydia said as she looked down at Jackson's house key.ย 

Sawyer sighed softly before walking over to Lydia, gently grabbing her shoulder. Lydia slowly turned around and Sawyer stared at her for a moment before pulling her into a hug, making Lydia instantly wrap her arms around Sawyer's torso.ย 

A little while later, Lysia sat at the end of Sawyer's bed, Anakin laying his head on her lap before Sawyer walked in with a box of tissues. "Here." She said, handing Lydia the box, making her smile softly, "Thanks." Lydia said as Sawyer sat down next to her.ย 

"God, I am such a mess..." Lydia said and Sawyer shrugged slightly, "You're definitely prettier than me right now." Sawyer said, making Lydia laugh softly as she looked at her. "You still look really pretty." Lydia said and Sawyer smiled and raised her eyebrows, "Even with the bruises and busted lips?" She asked and Lydia nodded.ย 

"They make you look tough." She said, making Sawyer chuckle before her phone went off and Lydia looked at it while Sawyer stared at her with a small smile for a moment before glancing down. "God... you have seventeen missed messages from Scott." Lydia said and Sawyer sighed and nodded slightly, "Yeah, I know... If it's something really important, he'll call my brother eventually. He probably just wants to use finding something as an excuse to check up on me." She said and Lydia furrowed her brows slightly.ย 

"You're ignoring him?" She asked and Sawyer shrugged, "I don't know... I just don't feel like listening to people fuss over me right now..." She said before Lydia got up and walked over to Sawyer's desk. "Why do you have a bunch of jewelry that's not in your style?" Lydia asked, holding up a bracelet, making Sawyer purse her lips as she stood up.ย 

"Oh, I- uh... It's just some stuff I bought, you know, for your birthday..." Sawyer said and Lydia looked at her surprised, "For me?" She asked and Sawyer nodded. "Yeah. I just-.I kind of didn't know what to get you, so I just bought you, like, a bunch of stuff. Like, a lot of stuff... You know, I was gonna return anything that I didn't give you or trade them for car parts." Sawyer said and Lydia bit her lip slightly and smiled at her before glancing down slightly.ย 

"A flat-screen TV?" She asked, looking over at Sawyer incredulously, making Sawyer sheepishly point at it, "Yeah, that I'm keeping for myself." Sawyer said and Lydia laughed softly. Sawyer's phone went off again, making Lydia look at it before suddenly standing up straight.ย 

"You're gonna want to read this." She said, walking over to Sawyer, making Sawyer read the text Scott sent her, before looking up at Lydia. "How much do you know about this stuff?" Sawyer asked and Lydia shook her shrugged slightly, "Pieces...? Half of it's like a dream." She said and Sawyer chuckled sarcastically and nodded.ย 

"Yeah? Well, the other half is like a freaking nightmare!" Sawyer said and Lydia shook her head slightly, "I don't care. I can help him." Lydia said. "See, that's the problem- you don't care about getting hurt." Sawyer said as she shook her head slightly.ย 

"But you wanna know how I'll feel? I'll be devastated! And if you die, I will literally go out of my mind! Death doesn't happen to you, Lydia- it happens to everyone around you, okay? To all the people left standing at your funeral, trying to figure out how they're gonna live the rest of their lives now, without you in it! Look at my face and tell me if you think this was meant to hurt me?" Sawyer said, more aggressive than what she meant, making her close her eyes and sigh softly.ย 

"I- I'm- I'm sorry... I didn't mean to sound like that." Sawyer said and Lydis awkwardly nodded her head, not really looking at her. "It's okay..." She said before turning around, "I'll find him myself." She said, walking away. "Lydia!" Sawyer called out, going to follow her before stopping, "Damn it!" Sawyer said, tossing a dog toy across the room before sitting down at her desk.ย 

She put her head in her hands, leaning her elbows on the desk before Anakin jumped off the bed and ran over to her. He leaned his head on her knees, making her sigh softly before looking down at him and petting the top of his head. "Thanks buddy." She said before Stilinski and Stiles slowly walked up to her door.ย 

"She left, huh?" Stilinski said, making her look at them and nod slightly, "Yeah." She said and he raised his eyebrows. "So... is there, uh... anything there?" He asked and Sawyer was quiet for a moment before shaking her head, "No. No, she's in love with someone else... She doesn't even like girls like that in the first place." She said, making her father nod slightly.ย 

"Ah." He said before walking over, sitting down in the chair next to her while Stiles leaned against the desk. "Listen- I know that getting beaten up, and with what happened to Jackson, has got you pretty shaken. But, be happy about one thing, the game. You were amazing. You both were." He said, making Sawyer smile at him.ย 

"Thanks, Dad." She said, "No, I mean it. Look, it was pretty much over... and then you got the ball, you passed it to your brother, and he scored. And the tide just turned. You passed to Stiles again and again and he scored again and again and then it came down to the score that broke the tie and won the game. That was your first score. You guys weren't just MVPs of the game- you were heros." Stilinski said and Stiles shook his head slightly.ย 

"Sawyer, maybe but I'm not a hero, Dad." Stiles said and Stilinski smiled at him, "You were last night. You both were." He said, before patting Sawyer's shoulder and walking away. "I'm not a hero." Sawyer said in a slight whisper as she thought back to the basement, seeing Erica and Boyd and not being able to save them.ย 

She thought back to the game before furrowing her brows slightly and sitting back. "What?" Stiles asked and Sawyer thought for a moment, "Back at the game, before the lights went out, I saw something..." She said, making him raise his eyebrows.ย 

"What did you see?" He asked, "I saw myself standing in a basement in front of Boyd and Erica who had their hands tied with electrical wires... Then minutes later I was standing in Argent's basement in front of Boyd and Erica... Their hands tied above their heads with electrical wires..." She said before looking at him as he thought for a moment before his eyes widened and he stood up slightly.ย 

"You're not Psychic, you're Clairvoyant." He said, making her raise her eyebrows slightly, "Huh?" She asked. "When someone can perceive events in the future or has beyond normal sensory contact. Sawyer, you can literally see the future!" He said and Sawyer slowly looked away from him, deep in thought.ย 

"What?" Stiles asked and she took a deep breath, lightly tapping her finger on her desk before getting up, "Lydia's right. Get your keys, let's go."ย 

๐ŸฆŽ

"Kill them." Gerard shouted with every last bit of strength he had as he laid on the ground, black blood dripping from his eyes, mouth, nose and years. "Kill them all!" He yelled before collapsing, making the Kanima slowly pull his hand away from Allison's neck. Allison took a deep breath before elbowing the Kanima in the face, making him push her back.ย 

All of a sudden the roar of a vehicle's engine fills the warehouse, making some flinch. The Kanima spins at the sound of brakes squealing and hurdles back, tossed right off its feet by a blue Jeep. Eyes squeezed shut, Stiles looks up from the wheel and turns to the others while Sawyer laughed loudly, "Yes!" She yelled as Lydia held onto her.ย 

"Did I get him?" Stiles asks and Scott almost laughs but then the Kanima leaps onto the hood of the Jeep and swings a clawed hand up with a shriek making Stiles, Sawyer and Lydia scream before they quickly get out of the car.ย 

"Jackson!" Lydia said, staying by the jeep as Stiles and Sawyer ran over to Scott, "Jackson." Lydia said as the Kanima started to raise its clawed hand making Lydia close her eyes and hold up Jackson's key. "Lydia!" Sawyer yelled, going to run over but Scott stopped her as the Kanima paused.ย 

The Kanima paused as it looked over at the key, tilting its head slightly before it slowly started turning back into Jackson. His eyes went back to normal as he slowly grabbed the key from Lydia, looking at it before looking at her. He stared at her for a moment before, glancing down slightly as he slowly stepped away from her.ย 

He looked at Derek as the Alpha stood up, before holding his arms out at his eyes, nodding slightly as he closed his eyes. Peter suddenly ran out of nowhere as Derek ran forward, the two Hale embedding their claws into Jackson's stomach and back.ย 

Lydia gasped and flinched slightly as they lifted Jackson up slightly, making him let out some gurgled coughs. After a moment, Derek pulled back, making Peter do the same and Lydia quickly ran forward before Jackson could fall to the ground.ย 

She carefully lowered him to his knees as he struggled to get a breath out, "Do you... Do you still...?" He asked weakly and Lydia nodded. "I do. I do still love you. I do-I do still love you. I do. I do. I do still love you. I do." Lydia whispered and Jackson nodded slightly as he closed his eyes before slowly leaning his head on Lydia's shoulder as she cried before gently laying him down on the ground.ย 

Allison glanced away from Lydia and Jackson before her eyes widened when she saw Gerard nowhere in sight. "Where's Gerard?" She asked as she glanced around, "He can't be far." Argent said.ย 

Lydia slowly stood up and turned towards the ground, making Sawyer start to walk tow9her to comfort her. All of a sudden there was a scraping sound, like claws against concrete, making everyone pause slightly. Lydia quickly spun around to find Jackson breathing before his eyes suddenly shot open, glowing a bright blue.ย 

He slowly stood up as his teeth turned into canines before he looked up and let out a loud roar, completely transformed into a werewolf. Everyone watched in shock as he went back to normal before looking at Lydia, making her quickly run forward, wrapping her arms around him.ย 

Scott and Stiles glanced over at Sawyer as she lightly wiped her eyes, making them look at her in amusement. She looked up at them for a moment before looking at them slightly offended, "There's an eyelash in my eye, fuck off."ย 

๐ŸฆŽย 

The jeep pulled up to the empty Lacrosse field, before Stiles, Scott, Sawyer and Anakin jumped out. "So, you really think she's gonna come back to you?" Sawyer asked as they walked over to the back of the jeep.ย 

"Yeah, I know she is. What about you and Lydia?" Scott asked, and Sawyer pursed her lips slightly, "Well, the ten-year plan for making Lydia fall in love with me may have to stretch to fifteen or end entirely." Sawyer said as they pulled out their Lacrosse gear. "Why don't you just ask her out?" Scott asked and Sawyer gave him a look.ย 

"Wow, Scott, that is such a wonderful idea. You know what, I'm gonna call her right now and ask out a straight girl. What could possibly go wrong? Oh yeah, I make the friendship completely awkward." Sawyer said sarcastically, making Scott playfully roll his eyes while Stiles laughed.ย 

"Just get into the goal and help me make team captain like you promised there, big guy!" Stiles said as they walked over to one of the goals, before Stiles dropped a bag of Lacrosse balls to the ground. "Hey, you know what I just realized?" Scott asked as he walked over to the goal, "I'm right back where I started." He said.ย 

"What do you mean?" Sawyer asked as she tossed a ball, making Anakin chase after it.ย "I mean, no lacrosse. No popularity. No girlfriend. Nothing." Scott said, making the twins look at him offended, "Dude, you still got us!" They both said and Scott smiled.ย 

"I had you guys before." He said and Stiles nodded, "Yeah, and you still got us, okay? It's a life fulfilled." He said and Sawyer pointed at him as she nodded in agreement, making Scott chuckle. "Very." He said, "Now, remember- no wolf powers." Stiles said as he scooped up a ball and Scott nodded.ย 

"Got it." He said, and Stiles gave him a look, "No, I meant it! No super-fast reflexes, no super-eyesight, no hearing- none of that crap, okay?" Stiles said and Scott sighe DC and nodded. "Okay. Come on!" He said, lightly hitting the bars of the goal with his stick before Stiles went to take the shot but paused, "You promise?" Stiles asked and Scott gave him an exasperated look.ย 

"Would you just take the shot already?" Scott asked, before looking at Sawyer and the two smirked slightly. Scott's eyes slowly glowed yellow, right as Stiles finally took the shot.ย 

"I said no wolf powers!"
