My alpha [D. Hale]

5. When she's missing

'Why did you say she's your alpha? And how do you know her?' Stiles asked.
We were sitting in his room after the police arrested Derek and we had to go from there.
'Stiles, I've told you a thousand times, I said she's the alpha, not my alpha. You must have heard wrong.'
The truth was, I knew what I said, but I didn't know why. It came out of my mouth voluntarily before I could even think about it. But I have no idea why Laura Hale would be my alpha. I'm not a werewolf. But I didn't want to add to their worries about me again. I couldn't rely on others and be afraid forever.
'But how do you know her?' Stiles kept asking.
I sighed and rubbed my forehead.
'From some event. Laura often partied in and out of town.'
It wasn't a lie. Not completely. I had to remember where I knew her from and I didn't know how. And the person who could help me is currently in prison. Great.
'Scott still won't let you talk him out of the game?' Stiles changed the subject. I shook my head.
'I won't even try again. He almost lunged at me when I tried to talk him out of it again.'
'How's your hand?'
'The one Scottie scratched? It hurts. And still doesn't want to go away. Yesterday, when I got home, black blood was pouring out of it. Black, Stiles. I've never seen one like this.'
'What could that mean? You're not turning into a werewolf, are you? Can you smell mint gum in my pocket? Do you have tantrums?'
Actually, I had. His inquisitiveness was getting on my nerves.
'I do, but that's because I'm pre-menstrual.'
What else was I supposed to say?
I got up from the chair.
'Come on, Stiles, you got a game coming up and I gotta go to work.'

Stiles left me outside the bar where I worked and went to the game himself. I hope they win and Scott doesn't lose control. Working at the bar wasn't my dream come true, but it made me quite a lot of money, and it was part of my therapy. Working with people, late. Absurd.
I finished work after midnight. Scott was supposed to pick me up. He was supposed to come right after the game. Mom was at work, Stilinski's dad was at work. I took my phone out of my pocket and tried to call Scott. He wasn't picking up. I tried calling Stiles, but nothing.
I waited half an hour, but none of them answered the phone or showed up. I was furious that they forgot about me, and it started raining. I bet to go home on foot.
The bar I worked at was outside the city limits and I know it'll take me over an hour to walk home. But I had no choice. I guess I'll just have to dare to take my car out of the parking lot or buy a cheaper one.
I headed towards Beacon Hills. I was afraid to go home alone at night, especially after I got mugged by these guys.

Scott's pov

After winning the match and kissing Allison, I woke up in the morning tired and happy at the same time. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to stop myself and that I would turn into a werewolf again like when I attacked Stiles after practice.
But this time nothing happened, I managed to control myself. I have to tell Sissy about this. I got out of bed and went to her room like I do every morning. I knocked and immediately opened the door. As soon as I entered her room, I noticed that she was gone. Her bed was untouched, as if she wasn't there.
I immediately panicked and ran to Stiles. I ran through the shortcuts and burst into his room through the window. I got to his bed. It was six in the morning, Stiles was sleeping like the dead. I started shaking him.
Stiles purred and opened his eyes.
'What is?' Stiles asked rubbing his eyes.
'Ems! Was she here? Damn it Stiles!' I was totally terrified. 'Sissy is gone! She wasn't there last night!' Stiles immediately sat up terrified and started dressing quickly.
He was running for his car keys, tripped over a pile of clothes, got up and grabbed the keys from the desk.
'We're going to Derek's.' Stiles ordered 'I know you don't trust him and he doesn't want to say it but…'
I nodded.
'Maybe Alpha attacked her.'
Derek got out of prison yesterday. They found wolf hair on the body of the murdered woman and it turned out that the woman was Laura Hale. Derek's sister. He also told me yesterday that he wasn't the one who bit me.
There's another werewolf. Alpha. The most dangerous of us all, and he wants me to be part of his pack.
I followed Stiles out of the room and we got in the car. I shuffled my feet impatiently along the way. When we arrived at Derek's burned-down house, I quickly jumped out of the car and automatically walked inside without even bothering to knock on the door.
'Derek!' I started screaming 'Derek!'
Where the hell is he?!

Derek's pov

I was upstairs when I heard Stiles car engine. After a while, Scott came to my house. I knew immediately that something was wrong because I sensed his panic and terror. I ran downstairs.
'What happened?' I asked.
I haven't known Scott and his friends very long, but I've never seen him like this. He always seemed cool to me, despite his difficulties with being a werewolf, but now he was standing in the middle of my house, tears streaming from his eyes, and Stiles running from corner to corner in a panic.
'My Em...' he started nervously.
My heart immediately started beating faster. If anything happens to her, I won't forgive myself. I can deny it every time I don't care for Emily, but I can't fool my inner wolf who howled as soon as he saw her.
'She wasn't home last night, she wasn't at the game. The last time she disappeared like this, these guys assaulted her, abused her, and buried her alive in the woods. I can't go through that again, and neither can she.'
I was in shock. That's why Emily was so panicked in the car with me, especially since she knew I was driving her into the woods. It makes sense now. And I couldn't blame her at all. She had to go through a lot. Lots of fear, panic and terror. But that word... abused... I hope it didn't mean what I thought. I walked over to Scott and grabbed his arm.
'We'll find her. Calm down, breathe and come with me. We'll search the entire forest, all of Beacon Hills, and we'll find her. Nothing will happen to her, I promise. '
I just hoped my promise wouldn't be empty.

Hey, as you may have noticed, my story doesn't follow what's been going on in the show. I did it a bit my way. Let me know if this form suits you, or do you want more Scott, more action according to the series?
