THE HUNTSMAN

"If Jackson doesn't know what he's doing, he probably doesn't know someone's controlling him."
Allison told them, giving a nervous glance to Apollo as he sharpened his arrows.
"Or he doesn't remember."
Scott added, furrowing his eyebrows when Allison nodded towards the huntsman.
"What if it's the same thing that happened when Lydia when she took off from the hospital?"
Stiles questioned, scratching his head.
"That would explain a lot. He wouldn't remember the murders or the blood, and someone must have helped him get rid of the video."
Apollo spoke for the first time since meeting up with his friends.
"You think he'll talk to us after what we did?"
Allison asked, biting on her cheek.
"No way in hell."
Apollo chuckled as Scott and Stiles glared at him.
"Yeah, he'll talk to us."

"Your Jackson's friend right?"
Stiles asked as he and Apollo stood at his locker.
"Yeah, I'd say so."
"Do you know what happened to his real parents?"
Stiles asked.
Apollo bit his lip trying to remember if it have ever been brought up.
"Lydia and Danny said something about them dying, but Jackson never really talked about it."
The hunter shrugged.
"Why are you talking about Jackson's real parents?"
Erica smirked, standing in front of the two boys.
"None of your business Erica,"
Apollo glared at her, the blonde laughing in return.
"Do your friends know what you did? Did he tell you?"
Erica smirked at Stiles, the boy raising an eyebrow at Apollo.
"He broke Derek's heart,"
Erica faked a pout, Apollo giving her a harsh glare.
"That's none of your business Erica."
Apollo hissed shoving the blonde back.
In return her claws quickly pressed into Apollo's neck, barely scratching the surface. 
"Not so fast,"
She grinned as Apollo leaned away from her hold.
"I'm gonna move my hand and you're going to leave.  And if you don't I'll tear out your throat."
Erica giggled as Apollo's glare hardened.
"You won't kill me, Derek would end you."
"You're right, I won't kill you,"
Erica moved her hand from Apollo's neck to Stiles's.
"I'll kill him."
Apollo quickly stepped away from her, holding his hands up.
"I'm leaving okay? Don't touch him."
Erica chuckled, her claws slowly disappearing as she watched the hunter walk away.

"What are you doing here?"
Derek glared as Apollo slowly walked up to him.
"I just wanted to talk, see how you're doing."
Apollo shrugged, leaning against the wall.
"I'm fine."
Derek scoffed, basically ignoring the huntsman.
"Derek I feel awful-"
"We're not kids Apollo, things happen. People change."
Derek shrugged, walking past the boy.
Apollo stuck his hand out, grabbing onto Derek's forearm.
Derek immediately stiffened, slowly turning to face the hunter.
"Please don't hate me,"
Apollo whispered shaking his head softly.
"You're the only person I've ever felt safe with, please,"
Apollo repeated the word softly.
"Please, don't hate me."
Derek sighed, the tension leaving his body as he softly took the Argent's hand.
"Apollo, I could never hate you."
The alpha whispered softly, shaking his head.
"Guys!"
Scott's panicked voice made the two step away from each other.
"What's going on?"
Apollo gaped, seeing a seizing Erica in Scott's arms.
"Hold her up."
Derek told them quickly.
"Is she dying?"
Stiles asked in panic.
"She might, which is why this is gonna hurt."
Without warning Derek took Erica's wrist and snapped it in two, the blonde groaning in pain.
Apollo winced clenching his teeth, the boy hated the sound of bones breaking more then anything.
"You broke her arm!"
Stiles exclaimed with wide eyes.
"Yeah Stiles, we were all there!"
The Stilinski boy gave the hunter an eye roll.
"It'll trigger the healing process. I still gotta get the venom out, this is where it will really hurt."
Everyone watched as Derek saved Erica, the tension leaving the room as everyone calmed down.
"You know who it is."
Scott rose an eyebrow at Derek, referring to the Kanima.
"Jackson."
Derek nodded as Apollo took a sharp breath.
"You wanted Erica to confirm it. I'm gonna help you stop him, as part of your pack. If you want me in, Apollo too."
Scott told the alpha as Apollo nodded along.
"We're not going to kill him. We're gonna catch him."
Apollo told the wolf.
"And?"
Derek asked with a sigh, glancing between the two teenagers.
"We do it my way."
