Chapter 11

Chrollo sighed ''Stay conscious for 15 minutes. This is all the time I will need.''

Derek weakly nodded, without uttering a word.

Chrollo got in his car and made way to the Argent house, while texting Scott. -I am coming to you. Make sure that in 5 minutes to be out of the house.-

Scott saw the massage and cursed silently. ''I'm sorry, but I must leave. Something came up.''

''Well, we wouldn't want you to be late, now do we?'' Chris smiled.

Scott was in the hall, next to the front door. He bade goodbye to Allison and reached out his hand to twist the handle of the door, just then Kate asked him. ''Scott, I'm gonna ask you something, and you must tell me the truth, ok?'' 

Scott felt his heart skip a beat. ''Me?'' He pointed himself.

Kate made a small smile ''Yes, you. What'd you take from my bag?''

To say that Scott was very nervous would be understatement. He looked between Kate and Allison, not knowing what to do.

''Would you like me to repeat the question?'' Kate made a confused face.

''What's happening here?'' Chris asked Kate.

She explained ''My bag was open in the guestroom, when I left it shut. Scott uses the bathroom, he leaves, my bag's open.''

''He didn't take-'' Allison tried to defend Scott.

''Look, I hate to be the accuser here, but I must ask. Scott, what did you take from my bag?'' Kate asked slowly.

''Nothing, I-I didn't take anything.'' Scott stammered.

''Prove it.'' Kate demanded. 

''Are you serous?!'' Allison couldn't believe it.

''Come on, Scott. Prove me wrong. Show us what's in your pockets.'' Kate crossed her arms.

*TUNTUN*

The doorbell rang. Chris and Kate exchanged looks, then Chris opened the door.

''Good evening. I apologize for coming in such a late hour, but is Scott McCall here? We have something important to do however, he is late and he told he would be here.'' Chrollo's unmistakable voice was heard by the four of them.

Chris saw a young man with black hair, brown, almost black eyes. He was wearing his unique outfit, consisting of a dark purple shearing jacket, without a shirt, ripped black jeans with white belt and black shoes.

When Chris saw him, he narrowed his eyes. Then, as if nothing happened, he answered in polite tone ''Scott was just about to leave, sadly something came up, so we had to check first.'' The Argent fully opened the door.

Chrollo's and Kate's eyes met. She widened her eyes and reached out to her waist, unfortunately, nothing was there. Seeing her reaction, Chrollo just smiled and turned to McCall ''Hello, Scott.'' 

Chris gently tapped Kate on the arm and shook his head. 

''Chrollo? What are you doing here?'' Allison was pleasantly surprised.

''I came to take Scott.'' Chrollo greeted back Allison.

Kate pulled Allison to her. ''Scott here stole something from my bag, but he wouldn't admit it.''

''Are you sure? Scott wouldn't do something-'' Chrollo was interrupted.

''I did it!'' Allison confidently took out a condom ''I stole something.''

The atmosphere became extremely awkward. 

''Now that the misunderstanding is cleared, can Scott go?'' Chrollo asked the surprised parents.

''Yes, he can. By the way, who are you?'' Kate playfully asked, pretending the previous reaction didn't happen. 

''My name is Chrollo Caddel. Nice to meet you.'' Chrollo gently smiled. ''I would love to meet Allison's parents, but we are tight on time.''

''That is unfortunate. Well, we wish you good luck.'' Chris said to Chrollo.

''Thank you, we wish you good luck, as well.''

After they were out of the house, Scott screamed at Chrollo quietly ''Are you crazy?! Do you want them to find out?!''

''They would have, at some point. It was inevitable, Scott.'' Chrollo told Scott ''Put your bike in the trunk, we have to be fast.''

.....

Chrollo and Scott entered the former's house and went to one of the bathrooms, where Derek was on the verge of passing out. Around him was black substance.

He saw them and opened his palm ''Give me the bullet.''

Scott gave it to him. Derek bitt of the head of the bullet. Following that, he took out the powder from the bullet, lit it up with a lighter and put the now burnt powder, where his wound was.

''AHHHH!'' Derek fell on the ground and started to scream.

Scott was freaking out and looking at Chrollo, when he just stood there and watched. ''Don't worry. It's working.''

Just then, the wound started healing magically, leaving no trace of its existence.

*HUF* *HUF*

Derek regained the original color of his skin. He stood up and looked at the place, where his wound was.

''N-Now you're gonna leave me and Stiles alone, right?! Both of you!'' Scott moved his head to Chrollo and Derek. ''O-Or i'm gonna tell the Argents everything!''

''Do you trust them that much?'' Derek asked the trembling Scott.

''Yes, I do! You're just monsters trying to kill innocent people!'' Scott stated.

''Is this how you think, Scott? Then, let me show what those righteous monster hunters did to us.'' Derek took Scott and Chrollo to a care facility.

He led them to a room. Inside it was a man sitting on a chair, unmoving.

''Who is he?'' Scott asked Derek. ''My uncle, Peter Hale.''

''Is he... a werewolf?'' Scott wasn't sure what to do.

''He was.'' Derek turned to Scott ''Six years ago, while my sister and I were at school, our house caught fire. They were 11 people inside, but he is the only survivor''

Scott was confused ''What makes you so sure, that they set the fire?''

Derek answered ''Because they were the only ones, who knew about us.''

''Maybe...the had a reason?'' Scott searched an answer in Derek's eyes.

Derek chuckled ''They say, they only kill adult werewolves and with absolute proof. Yet, they were people from my families, who weren't werewolves.'' Derek outstretched his hands and rotated the chair, where Peter sat. ''This is what they do, Scott! It's what Allison will do!''

Peter Hale's face was half burnt. Rough, reddish skin was covering half his face. The hair and his right eyebrow were burnt, leaving only the right eye unscathed.

''What are you doing there? How did you get in?'' A woman's voice interfered with their conversation.

''We were just leaving.'' Derek led the two out of the facility.

.....

In the Argent house, Chris and Kate were talking.

''I may be not 100 percent sure about his face, but the clothes were the same.'' Kate was talking about Chrollo. ''Doesn't make sense, Chris. The Caddels are immune, they can't receive powers. Are you sure he's a Caddel hunter?''

Chris was drinking a beer ''Yes, the results from the investigation showed that, he isn't only a Caddel, but the grandchild of the current Partiarch.''

Kate sighed ''Whatever, I saw three in total. Two were small and agile, the last one was big and powerful.''

Chris added ''So, one is the boy, one is Derek Hale and the Alpha.''

''How do we know, for sure, that these are the only ones?'' Kate asked, while making laps of the room.

''We don't...yet.'' Chris took a sip. ''But, If Derek's still alive, he will lead us to the Alpha.''

''What about that cutie?'' 

''...I can't say for sure. The Caddel family is dangerous. As you saw, he, himself, is dangerous.'' Chris sighed.

''...Well, it doesn't matter for now. They will lead us to the Alpha.'' Kate charmingly smiled. ''Take the pack leader, then take the pack.''

''And we do it according to the code.'' Chris warned.

She laughed ''You and your code.''

''It's there for a reason, Kate."

''Of course.'' She turned to Chris ''I always play by the rules.''
