Dynasty

10...Crescent Mind

Yelena stayed quiet the whole way home from the high school, resting her head on the cold glass of the window. Her father kept looking over at her knowing she was keeping something from him, that she was struggling with something. When they pulled up at Scott's to drop him off, Stiles also unbuckled his seatbelt.

"Where are you going?" The sheriff asked his son who hesitated as Scott got out of the car.

Stiles sighed and spoke in a hushed voice, "Scott and Allison broke up, I think he needs my support." Stiles said wide-eyed.

Their father didn't believe him and glanced at his daughter instead who shrugged at him. Before rolling her eyes when she realized they were both staring at her

"Yes, they broke up." She confirmed to her father before turning to her brother "Don't take advantage of the free pass dad is giving you."

Both Stiles and the sheriff nodded to each other in agreement with what Yelena said.

"Don't be late home!" Noah shouted out to his son

"I won't!" Stiles called back.

Yelena sighed as the sheriff began driving back home, "I've gotta go back to work, sort this Derek Hale stuff out. It'll be a late one."

Yelena hummed as an answer going back to silence and she continued staring out the window. The sheriff sighed as he pulled up outside their house "Len, what's going on?" He asked

"What do you mean?" She asked quietly

The sheriff threw his hands in the air "Yelena, tell me the truth, did Derek Hale kill those people?"

Yelena gritted her teeth together and turned to face him, making eye contact with him for the first time that night "I don't know!"

"Well, your brother and Scott seem to think so."

"Well, I didn't see it and he didn't tell me so how would I know?"

"So you didn't see the janitor die?"

"I did! I just don't know who did it. I didn't see Derek but I don't know." She wasn't lying she didn't see Derek do it, mostly because he didn't do it, and she didn't know who the alpha was.

Her father rubbed the back of his head tiredly "Len-"

"Dad, what do you want me to say?! You want me to ground Stiles for you? You want me to interrogate Scott? To keep an eye on those teenagers at the school? I'm trying ok? I'm trying to settle back in, but it's hard. All my friends are gone, you work all the time and Stiles is going through something - through his awkward phase!"

Noah exhaled deeply and rubbed her back, "I know you're struggling to settle back in, but you will. I promise."

Yelena reached over and hugged him before climbing out of the cruiser "I'll see you later."

Yelena let out a sigh of relief as she collapsed onto her couch, with the strange feeling she wasn't alone.

Yelena leaned against the doorframe of her brother's room watching him pull out handcuffs and chains.

"Whatcha doing?"

Stiles jumped and looked up at her "Full moon tonight."

"OK?"

Stiles sighed at his sister "Well Scott doesn't have Allison anymore and as far as we know Derek is dead so it's our turn to keep Scott in control."

"Our turn?"

"Len I thought we established that we were in this together." stiles replied with an annoyed tone.

"Why are you annoyed at me?" She snapped unfolding her arms and walking further into his room.
