"What are you doing here?"

"Saving your ass, what else is new?"

--------

Casey had been making new mistletoe bullets and wolfsbane ones ever since Kate's phone call from Derek's phone and she was running out of time on the time limit and she was surprised to see that an "unknown" number had popped up on her phone.

"Branson." She said,

"Casey, it's me."

"Scott?" Casey asked in confusion as she put the phone on speaker. "What are you doing, calling me?" She asked.

"I think that I know now, why exactly Derek took my phone. But... I need your help to track it to find him and Tye." Scott said.

"Can't you just howl?" Casey pointed out and Scott went silent at the words for a solid few moments, before Casey heard a howl in the background of the phone call. "Where are you, Scott?"

"Can you meet me by the Hale house?" Scott asked and Casey was chuckling faintly.

"See you in a few." Casey said as she hung up the phone and she grabbed her multiple weapons.

Casey retrieved more knives, more clips for guns and she looked at them and then she spotted the triskelion necklace on the wall and she stopped at the sight of it.

Casey sighed, as she grabbed it and she swiftly was hanging it now around her neck. Casey swiftly grabbed Tye's extra motorcycle helmet and keys, and she kicked the motorcycle into gear and she drove off.

Casey quickly was parking the motorcycle and without any delays, she pulled off the helmet and grabbed one of the guns out of the holsters on her calf. Casey walked over to where Scott was and he looked at her.

"Thanks for coming--"

"Save it, Scott. You said that the howling came from around here or so?" She asked and he was nodding. "I know where they are." Casey realized softly and she felt a flood of memories overtaking her.

~~~~~

Screaming, the smell of acrid smoke choking the life out of her. Casey was coughing and heaving, as Peter was dragging her toward the door. "Run! Get out!" He was yelling and Casey was stumbling, as she tried to get up and she felt pain tearing through her as flames had caught onto her jacket.

~~~~~~

"Casey, Casey!" Scott had been shouting her name for god only knows how and Casey looked at him.

"Sorry." Casey murmured quietly as she led the way down and she held a gun out in front of her, as she crept through the grate to the basement for the transformation cellar. "Follow me and stay quiet." Casey said softly and a moment later, Scott had joined her.

"Ready to have some more fun? To be honest, my knuckles are kind of hurting. So I brought some help. But I need to warn you. I used to play in college." The hunter swung at Derek and before the bat connected, a gunshot went off and he collapsed with a bullet through the head.

Derek raised his eyebrows as Casey held the gun in her hand and she was flicking the safety on and she tucked it back into the holster. "You have looked better." She remarked.
