Survivors

Chapter 3

After getting Isaac back to the loft and to perfect health, Derek suggested an idea to find out were Erica and Boyd are.

"You know, I'm starting not to like this idea. Sounds kinds dangerous" Isaac announced pacing in front of the large window, "You know what? I definitely don't like this idea, and I definitely don't like him"

"You'll be fine" Derek told him

Isaac though about it before saying, "Does it have to be him?"

"He knows how to do it. I don't. Be more dangerous if I tried doing it myself" Derek said

Isaac looked at me pointing a finger, "Can you do it? I prefer for you to do it and I don't even know you"

I shook my head, "I know what to do just, I've never tried it before and I don't feel comfortable for a member of Derek's pack to be my test subject"

Isaac nodded then turned back to Derek, "You know Scott doesn't trust him, right? You know, personally, I'd—well, I'd trust Scott"

Derek looked at him, "Do you trust me?"

Isaac hesitated for a second, "Yeah" but the way he said it showed me he respected and trusted this Scott guy more

"I still don't like him" Isaac whispered almost pleading

"From what Derek's told me, nobody likes him" I replied in a bored tone

In that moment the loft door slid open revealing non-other than Peter Hale

"Boys and one might fine lady" Peter announced winking at me

"FYI, yes, coming back from the dead has left my abilities somewhat impaired, but the hearing still works. So, I hope you're comfortable saying what ever it is that you're feeling straight to my face" he said with a smile

"We don't like you" Derek told him with a deadpanned expression which earned a small chuckled for me.

Derek throw a book down only table getting up, "Now shut up and help us"

Peter looked a bit taken aback from the blunt response then shrugged bringing out his claws, "Fair enough"

When we were ready to perform the ritual, Isaac started pacing again.

"Isaac, sit the hell down now before I break more bones in your body than you ever knew of" I threatened with a low growl

Peter looked at me with a smirk while Derek just looked bored

"I know you've already said that you don't want my to be your first try at doing this because you don't feel comfortable, but I would feel very comfortable if you were to do it. You're nicer and well not him" Isaac said aiming the last part at Peter

Peter looked over to him with a fake pout sarcastically saying, "That really hurts my feelings, Isaac"

"Do you want Erica and Boyd to die?" Derek asked feed up

Isaac looked at him confused, "No"

"Then sit in the chair and let's do this already" he announced getting frustrated

I nodded at Isaac agreeing.

He sat in the chair while Derek sat on the lounge and I stood up leaning against a pole.

"Relax" Peter told him walking towards him, "I'll get more out of you if you're calm"

I scoffed, "Yeah. Because he's going to be calm when your around"

Peter looked over to me with a smirk playing on his lips.

"How do you know how to do this, again?" Isaac questioned unsure

Peter stood behind him preparing himself, "It's an ancient ritual used mostly by Alphas, since it's a skill that requires quite a bit of practice. One slip, and you could paralyse someone. Or kill them"

Derek looked up to Peter, calculating if he should still let them go through with the ritual. While I all ready knew the risk, which is way I didn't want to do it.

"You—you've had a lot of practice, though, right?" Isaac asked sounding scared

Peter lined up his claws ready to begin, "Well, I've never paralysed anyone"

I looked at the pair nervously, after hearing that I can't tell if he's just trying to scare Isaac or if he means he has actually killed someone doing this before. Derek and Isaac looked confused for a second before it sank in.

"Wait, does that mean you—" Isaac got off by Peter beginning the ritual.

I saw the pair struggle, Derek and I both watched worried.

Peters eyes turned bright blue as he began to squirm, then quickly change back to normal.

Isaac started struggling trying to break free, Derek got up to pull them apart.

"Derek! Don't if you pull them apart now it will kill them 'em" I warned in my worry laced voice

"Wait, I see them" Peter announced

I circled them, "Hale, what do you see?" I got no reply, "Hale?.....Peter?!"

Peter begin to struggle more, shaking his eyes starting to roll back.

Suddenly the two broke apart, Peter slamming back it to the table.

Isaac forward in the chair touching the back of his neck.

Peter walk closer to me near the crumbled brick, I closed the gap by taking a few steps to be next to him rubbing his back calming him down

"What did you see?" Derek questioned

Peter panted before turning his back and forth trying to work it out, "It was confusing. Um, Im—Images. Vague shapes"

"But you saw something" Derek stated

Peter looked at me in the eyes, "Isaac found them"

"Erica and Boyd?" Derek questioned

"I barely saw them. I mean, glimpses" Peter started rambling

Derek was annoyed, "But you did see them."

"Worse"

I let out a deep breath, "Deucalion"
