Mad Hunter ✿ Derek Hale

44

Derek carried her onto the train as Stiles, Scott and Elizabeth followed.
"Pull her up." Derek demanded.
Stiles held her onto him. "Is she dying?"
"She might, I -"
Derek stopped and picked up her wrist. "This is gonna hurt."

Snapping her wrist, Erica screamed.
"It'll trigger the healing process." Derek said as Stiles shouted. "I still have to get the venom out."
Elizabeth helped Stiles hold her down as he squeezed her arm, blood dripping as she screamed more. As she stopped, she breathed heavily and collapsed against Stiles' chest.

"Stiles." She breathed. "You make a good batman."

Elizabeth looked at Derek as he continued to hold her arm, draining the venom.

Scott followed Derek afterwards, Elizabeth listening. "You know who it is."
"Jackson." Derek answered as he sat. "You just wanted Erica to confirm it, didn't you?"
"I'm going to help you stop him." Scott said. "As part of your pack."

Derek looked up at Scott, his green eyes almost widened. "If you want me then fine. But we do it on one condition. We're going to catch him, not kill him."
"And?"
"And we do it my way."

Elizabeth and Stiles walked towards them, Elizabeth showing her gun that was on her hip.

"Whatever your plan is, we're in."

Scott and Elizabeth waited at the animal clinic as it hit night. Elizabeth stood to her feet as Scott unlocked the door.
"What's he doing here?" Scott asked.
"I need him." Derek answered.

Elizabeth gritted her teeth as Isaac walked inside, and she picked up her gun.
"Elizabeth - "
Derek was cut off as she shot Isaac in the leg, causing him to fall to the floor. Derek sighed before grabbing his arm, pulling him to his feet.

Derek walked towards Elizabeth, taking the gun out of her hands and setting it on the counter.
"I don't trust him." Elizabeth spoke.
"Neither do I." Scott said as Isaac pulled the bullet out of his skin with a growl.

"Well, he doesn't trust you either." Isaac snapped.
"And Derek really doesn't care." Derek snapped, looking at the two. "Now where's the vet, is he going to help us or not?"
"That depends."
Looking over, Deaton leaned against the frame. "On your friend Jackson, Are we planning to kill him, or save him?"

Scott and Derek answered at the same time; Derek saying to kill him, and Scott saying to save him. The two looked at each other. "Save him!"
Derek sighed before turning to the vet, and Scott repeated himself. "Save him."

Placing a small thing of glass jars onto the table, Isaac went to reach forward, and Derek gripped his wrist. "Watch what you touch."
Elizabeth looked at the table as Deaton pulled a jar out. "So, what are you, some kind of witch?" Isaac asked.
"No, I'm a Veterinarian. Unfortunately I don't see anything here that's going to be an effective defense against a paralytic toxin."

"We're open to suggestions."
"What about an effective offense?" Isaac asked.
"We already tried. I nearly took its head off, and Argent emptied an entire clip into it - it just gets back up."

"Did he show any weaknesses?"
"One, it can't swim."
"Is that go for Jackson as well?"
"No, he's the captain of the swim team."
"Essentially trying to capture two people,"

Elizabeth glanced at Derek as Deaton walked towards the drawers.
He held a small object. "A puppet, and a puppeteer."
"One killed the husband but the other had to take care of the wife. do you know why?"
"I don't think Jackson could do it." Scott said. "His mother died pregnant too and maybe murdered."
"How do you know it's not apart of the rules? The Kanima kills murderers. If Jackson kills the wife then the baby dies too."

"Does that mean your father was a murderer?" Elizabeth asked.
"Wouldn't surprise me if he was."
"Hold on. The book says they're bonded, right?"
Derek nodded.
"What if the fear of water isn't coming from Jackson, but from the person controlling him? What if something that effects the Kanima, - "

"Effects the master." Elizabeth blurted, earning stares from Scott and Derek as Deaton poured black salt like residence around the metallic pin.

"Meaning what?" Isaac asked.
"Meaning we can catch them... Both of them."
