-- Chase --
I looked up and saw Derek walk in with Scott following him.
Derek: I'm saying we need a new plan, because next time one of us is going to be too hurt to heal.
Scott: I get what you're saying-- we can't save Jackson.
Derek: And we can't seem to kill him, either. I've seen a lot of things, Scott. I've never seen anything like this. Every new moon's just gonna make him stronger.
Scott: But how do we stop him?
Derek: *Defeatedly* I don't know. I don't even know if we can.
Scott: Maybe we should just let the Argents handle it...
Derek: I'm the one who turned him. It's my fault.
Scott: Yeah, but you didn't turn him into this! I mean, this happened because of something in his past, right?
Chase: *Scoff* That's just a legend in a book. It's not that simple.
Scott: What do you mean? What aren't you two telling me?
Me and Derek look at each other before turning back to him and Derek sighed shaking his head.
Derek: Why do you think I'm always keeping something from you?
Scott: Because you always are keeping something from me!
Derek: Well, maybe I do it to protect you.
Scott: Doesn't being part of your pack mean no more secrets?
Derek: *Sighs* Go home, Scott. Sleep. Heal. Make sure your friends are safe... 'Cause the full moon's coming, and with the way things are going, I've got a feeling it's gonna be a rough one.
The betas watched as Derek opened a trunk and Isaac looked at the symbol on the trunk.
Isaac: What is that?
Boyd: It's a triskele. The spirals mean different things-- past, present future; mother, father, child...
Derek: Do you know what it means to me?
Boyd: Alpha, Beta, Omega?
Derek: That's right. It's a spiral-- it reminds us that we can all rise to one or fall to another. Betas can become Alphas, but Alphas can also fall to Betas, or even Omegas.
Isaac: Like Chase and Scott?
Derek: They're with us.
Isaac: Really? Then where are they now?
They all looked over to the stairs and saw Chase walking down them.
Chase: Scott's out looking for Jackson. And you three are gonna be locked up in here.
He chuckled when Isaac and Boyd growled at him their eyes glowing dimly.
Derek: Don't worry, he's not gonna have it easy tonight, either. None of us will. There's a price you pay for this kind of power. You get the ability to heal, but tonight, you're gonna want to kill anything you can find.
Erica: [chuckling] Good thing I had my period last week, then.
Chase walked over to the trunk smirking and picked up the headpiece which had screws in them and Erica lost her smile.
Chase: Well, this one's for you.
Chase and Derek tightened the chains on Boyd and Isaac before standing back up, Boyd looking to them nervous.
Boyd: What if we break free?
Chase picked up the headpiece and sighed walking towards Erica who looked at the headpiece in fear.
Isaac: Why does she get the headband?
Chase: 'Cause she'll be able to withstand more pain than the two of you.
Derek: I've got an extra one if you really want it...
Isaac: I'll pass.
Chase: Good choice, don't need you screaming like a little bitch. *Turns to Derek* Hold her.
Derek nodded and held her while Chase crouched down in front of Erica after putting the headpiece on her head and sighed touching one of the screws, ready to turn it and looked to Erica.
Chase: Ready?
Erica: *Exhales deeply* Yeah...
He started turning the screw and she shrieked out in pain blood trickling from the wound.
Isaac growled looking up his eyes glowing brightly and looked towards Derek.
Isaac: How do you not feel this?
Derek: I feel every bit of it.
Isaac: Then how do you control it?
Derek: Find an anchor, something meaningful to you. Bind yourself to it. Keep the human side in control.
Isaac: What is it for you?
Derek: *Hesitates* Anger. But it doesn't have to be that for everybody.
Isaac: You mean Scott?
Derek: Yeah.
Isaac: What about Chase?
Derek: That you'll have to ask him yoursel---
He was cut off by low growling and metal creaking, and looked towards the back seeing both Erica and Boyd stand up growling their eyes glowing brightly glaring at Derek.
Chase: Oh shit, they are ugly as hell.
Derek sighed, standing up.
The two betas growled rushing to Derek and Chase.
Chase: I thought you tightened the chains?!
Chase dodged a swipe to his head from Boyd and kicked him away, flicking out his claws.
Derek: I did!
Erica roared out in pain getting slashed across the chest by Derek who shoved her back into her seat.
Derek: Isaac...
The two looked to the front of the bus seeing Isaac fully shifted stood there chains uncuffed from his wrists growling lightly before he rushed out the train, Chase following after him, leaving Derek behind with two unhinged betas.
Derek grunted blocking the entrance phone cupped to his ear.
Derek: Scott, I need you to call me back, now! I need help!
He looked back into the train, seeing the two betas turn against each other and sighed flicking his claws out.
Derek: I definitely need help.
He opened the doors and stepped in, eyes glowing and the two betas looked towards him, stopping their fight and roared rushing to him.
Chase sighed pulling an unconscious Isaac back into the railway depot and found Derek sat outside the train breathing heavily.
Derek: You took your time.
Chase: He's fast.
Derek chuckled, and Chase picked Isaac up and walked into the train and chained him up before walking out.
Chase: You good?
Derek: Yeah, just a little sore.
Chase sighed sitting down and breathed out before looking up and chuckled seeing Lydia walk in.
Derek: Lydia?
Derek stood up before he growled getting hit in the face with wolfsbane dust and she watched him drop to the ground before turning to look at Chase, who wasn't there.
Chase: You're not gonna do that shit to me, Lyds.
She turned around and gasped out when he grabbed her by the neck and lifted her up before dropping her, roaring out holding his gut.
Chase: Fuck!
He pulled the knife out and turned to Lydia who blew the powder into his face, dazing him and he groaned dropping to the ground.
Derek: Lydia... stop. You don't know what you're doing.
She ignored him placing his hand in Peter's burnt hand while placing Chase's hand in his mouth.
Chase: What the?
Chase woke up and looked around and chuckled.
Chase: 'Fuck, this is really happening. Peter Hale returns.'
He roared out feeling Peter's corpse bite down onto his arm, drinking his blood and looked over to see Derek's face morph into pain taking the pain.
Chase breathed out feeling Peter release his hand and pull away to burst through the floor.
Peter: I heard there was a party...
He looked up slowly a smirk coming to his face as his eyes glowed a faint blue.
Peter: But, don't worry I invited myself.
