ACT TWO, CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX Blood for Blood
─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───
WHEN ANDI GOT HOME, HER GRANDMOTHER WAS STILL ASLEEP. To see that she was still breathing was a relief to her after seeing Derek fall to his death. Her grandmother may not have been close to the alpha but she still knew him. Also, she never told Andi much about her connection with Derek so maybe it was deeper than she initially thought. But either way, how was Andi going to tell her what happened at the abandoned mall and that Derek was dead?
When she went back downstairs to make herself a cup of tea, there was a knock on the door for the second time that night. Andi rushed over to the door to answer it before the noise could wake up her grandmother and saw Isaac standing on the doorstep.
"Hey, Andi," Isaac said with his hands in his pockets.
"Hey. You wanna come inside?" Andi asked as she opened the door wider. Isaac nodded as he walked inside the house and took his shoes off by the door while Andi locked it shut. "Please try to keep the noise down. Grams is asleep upstairs."
"How is she doing?" Isaac asked as he followed her into the kitchen and sat down.
Andi sighed. "She's been asleep ever since I got home from school. Then Allison came by asking me for my help to track you guys down after telling me that you and Scott were gonna try to reason with Deucalion. What were you guys thinking?" she asked as she leaned over the dining table.
"Scott wanted a solution that doesn't involve killing other people and I went so he wouldn't have to go alone," Isaac said and Andi pursed her lips as she sat down next to him.
"This is Deucalion we're talking about. He is the alpha of alphas and he can't be reasoned with. We all saw what happened after that," she said as she swallowed the lump in her throat at the thought of Derek's dead body while Isaac looked down at his hands.
"I know," he whispered.
"I get that Scott doesn't want to kill anyone. But these guys have killed for their own selfish gain so they have no problem getting their hands bloody in order to get what they want. They will kill just to make a point and if we're going to be a match for them, we have to be willing to get our hands bloody too," Andi said and Isaac looked at her.
"If Derek is dead, then why still come after us?" he asked.
"Because it wasn't just Derek who died tonight. One of their own fell off the edge too and now it's blood for blood. At first, it was all about Derek and you and Boyd but now it's more than that. They'll come for Scott, Allison, me. They'll come for all of us," Andi said. The kettle started whistling and Andi quickly got up to take it off the stove before the noise could get too loud to wake up her grandmother. "Would you like some tea?"
