               "Now we got bad blood."

"Really?" Max questioned, tightening his grip on the knife. "Come on Isaac. We saw how this turned out last time," he taunted.

Isaac went for Max's face, his claws narrowly missing the boy. Max ducked, swiping Isaac off his feet. Scott picked him up, firing him into the glass surrounding the rink. The glass shattered as Isaac fell to the floor in pain.

Erica immediately went after Jade, claws and fangs both out. Jade waved her hand effortlessly, the blonde flying into a nearby ice machine, not too far away from Isaac. The betas turned to look at the witch. From the look on their faces, Derek had forgotten to tell them about her powers. Idiot. But that had given her the advantage of surprise.

Erica decided that Jade was too hard to fight, so she went after Max. Isaac, on the other hand, wanted to prove to his Alpha that he could take on Scott.

Erica jumped at Max, but he ducked again. Quickly, he pulled out the two chinese ring daggers that were hidden in his shoe. God they were uncomfortable to walk with.

Erica faltered slightly before going after him again. She pinned him to the floor, but he was putting up a fight. He brought his dagger up, slicing her in the shoulder. He did feel guilty, but she'd tried to attack him.

Isaac pounced on Scott, wrestling him to the ground before punching him relentlessly. Scott brought himself to his feet, but Erica jumped on his back.

Isaac pushed Jade to the floor. Her stomach hit the ice hard. She winced before slapping her hand off of the ice. The ground shook before she waved her hand again, sending both of the betas flying into the wall. She lay on the ground, trying to catch her breath. She was probably winded.

Fucking werewolves.

Derek grinned to himself. That was the Jade he was wanting to unleash. Technically, he was helping her! He was helping the Jade that could be as strong as a coven of witch's combined. Of course he hadn't meant for his betas to get the brunt end of it, but it didn't matter.

"Are you okay?" Max panted, kneeling beside his sister. He helped her sit up, as she cursed under her breath. Damn. Isaac had pushed her badly.

"Don't you get it! He's not doing this for you! He's just adding to his own power, okay! It's all about him!" Scott screamed. "He makes you feel like he's giving you some gift when all he's done is turn you into a bunch of guard dogs!"

"It's true. It is about power," Derek smirked. He flicked out his claws, his eyes turning red.
He clawed Scott in the stomach. Max fell to the floor in agony. The pain that had previously happened, he could barely handle. This was too much. Derek hit Scott multiple times, but Scott wasn't giving up. The alpha hit Scott to the floor, blood spewing out of his mouth.

Jade yelled in frustration, both hands flying out. The glass that had earlier been broken, flew into the air. The shards stabbed Derek in the back, but the Hale wasn't giving up like that.

He turned around, charging at the blonde. It was on. He couldn't just go around hurting whoever he wanted.

Derek tried to knock her to the ground, but she soared into the air. Her eyes glowed purple. The white glow that was normally there when she used her powers surrounded her. Derek tilted his head. She'd learnt new tricks since he had seen her fight last. He weighed up his options; he could fight Jade and lose, or leave with his betas. To be honest, he preferred option two.

He gestured for Boyd to follow him, the boy getting off of the machine. Jade waved her hand, gently landing on her feet. She ran over to Max, who was lying on the floor. Repeatedly, she muttered the healing incantation under her breath.
