Chapter 10

"What?!" Alexis almost screeched. How serious Derek looked right now was alarming. "No, he's not going to cut off your arm. Dad will find the bullet and we'll save you." She said as she started to pace. She heard her own phone start ringing and almost screamed in frustration. What now?!

"Hello?"

Hi Lexi, you doing alright?

"Uncle Stiles, now's not really the time."

Why, what's going on?

"Kate shot Derek with a wolvesbane bullet and dad still hasn't found it and now Derek wants you to chop off his freaking arm with a saw!"

Don't worry, Scott will find the bullet.

"Yeah, at this point I'm not so sure."

Don't lose faith in your dad honey, how's little me doing?

"I don't know, let me put you on speaker."

Little me! You okay?

Stiles looked surprised that his future self wanted to talk to him again.

"Uhm, sorta."

Don't worry, everything's going to be okay!

"I sure hope so."

Scott chose that moment to run into the room. Alexis quickly turned the phone off speaker and squeaked out a small 'talk to you later mom!' before hanging up.

"What's she doing here?" Scott asked. Stiles looked frustrated.

"Does that really matter? Give me the bullet!" Stiles gritted out as he snatched the bullet from Scott and handed it over to Derek. He bit the top off and poured a purple substance onto the table before looking up.

"Do one of you have a lighter?" He asked. Alexis instantly reached into her pocket and pulled one out. Stiles looked at her in surprise.

"What, some situations call for a lighter, like this one." She said pointing to Derek as he lit the wolvesbane and watched it spark before picking it up and rubbing it into his bullet wound. When he screamed Stiles flinched. Stiles and Scott watched in surprise as the wound healed itself in a matter of seconds.

"That. Was. Awesome!" Stiles said as he fist bumped the air. Alexis and Derek glared at him. Derek handed the lighter back over and thanked her.

"No problem." She smiled. Derek turned to Scott then.

"And if you keep seeing the Argent girl, thing's like this will start to happen to you." He glared. Alexis snorted and Derek turned his glare to her. "What?" He snapped.

"Oh nothing, just, you know, thinking about the future." She laughed. Derek glared before walking out of the room. Stiles waited until he heard the back door slam shut before he busted out laughing with Alexis.

"What?" Scott asked in confusion. Alexis waved him off.

"You'll know when you're older."
