Amara's outfit:

Chapter Twelve
🐺 Code Breaker 🐺

Amara slowly walked into the house and closed the door behind her before leaning against it. "Amara?" Makena asked as she walked into the livingroom before furrowing her brows, "What happened?" Makena said and Amara looked at her.

"Argent made me out my supernatural self to Allison. She knows about it now." Amara said making Makena close her eyes and sigh softly, "Then I guess we have a bigger problem then." Makena said making Amara furrow her brows. "What do you mean? What happened?" Amara asked and Makena sighed and held up her phone, "Stiles just called me... Peter attacked and bit Lydia and now Peter has Stiles and we need to find your cousin." Makena said making Amara's eyes widened as she got up from the door.

"Should we be getting Stiles? What if Peter hurts him?" Amara asked and Makena shook her head, "Peter isn't going to hirt him. He wants Stiles to help him find Derek." Makena said and Amara furrowed her brows while following her mother over to the dinning room table. "Why does he need Stiles' help for that?" Amara asked,."They think that Derek took Scott's phone during the shoot at and Peter want to track it but he needs Stiles because Stiles knows Scott's passwords." Makena said.

"I'm pretty sure tonight is gonna be the night Peter fully attacks because I just figured out who started the fire and I'm sure he knows too." Makena said and Amara raised her eyebrows, "Who?" She asked. "Kate Argent. Now you and I need to get Scott and find Derek." Makena said before loading her gun and turning to her daughter, "You might want to change."

🐺

Amara walked into the examination room of the animal clinic to find Scott sitting on the ground with his head in his hands. "Scott." She said and he didnt look up, "Go away,." He mumbled and she sighed before walking up to the metal table in the middle of the room.

"Are you really going to just sit here, all depressed the whole night?" Amara asked and Scott shook his head slightly, "She doesn like me any more..." He said and she sighed. "So what?" Amara asked making him look up at her confused, "What?" He asked and she shrugged slightly. "So what if she doesn't feel the same way. You're sixteen, Scott. You have your whole life ahead of you.." Amara said.

"So what if one girl doesn't feel the same way? There's other girls in the world- and guys if your preference ever changes- to fall in love with. And they'll most likely love you back." Amara said before leaning against the metal table, "But you're never gonna get to fall in love again if Peter kills us all. So get your sad ass up and help my mom and I find my cousin." She said and he stared at her for a moment before getting up.

"What do we do?" He asked and she went to say something but a bunch of dogs from the back room started barking. The barks of the other dogs begin to subside until all they can hear is that one animal howling, calling out for attention. "We howl." Amara said making Scott look at her.

A little while later Scott and Amara stood at a cliff looking down over Beacon Hills while Makena was in the car farther back. Scott steps out to gaze over his hometown as be approaches the edge and kneels down. "I just howl?" He asked as he glanced back at Amara, "You have to feel it. Dont think to much, just let it happen." Amara said and he nodded slightly.

"Why can't you do it? Wouldn't it be easier for him to hear since your cousins?" He asked and she nodded, "Yes, but you need to learn how. So howl." She said and he sighed and nodded before turning away from her.

Placing his hands on the ground he closes his eyes and takes a deep breath. He tilts his head down and draws in a deep breath, back arching up. His ears begins to grow, tapering into points, fangs appear just over his lower lip and his eyes turned a bright golden color. Every muscle in his body tenses as he opens his mouth wide and lets loose a powerful howl into the
night.

Scott stood up and moved to stand next to Amara as they waited for a moment. When they didn't hear anyone Scott sighed and was about to walk away but Amara grabbed his arm making him stop. A second later a distant howl rang through the woods making Amara look off in a direction. "I know where he is." She said in a slightly whisper, looking over at Scott for a moment before running off.

"Mom!" Amara called out as they ran towards the car and Makena got out, "You know where he is?" She asked and Amara nodded. "His howl came the direction of the Hale House." She said and Scott furrowed his brows, "They're keeping him at his own house?" He asked and Amara shook her head.

"They're keeping him under it." Amara said ans Makena nodded slightly, "Something people wouldnt expect them to do." Makena said and Amara nodded in agreement. "Let's go." Amara said before taking off, Scott and Makena following behind her.

Amara slowed slightly as they made it to the Hale House and she cautiously walked over to the gate entrance to the underground tunnel under the Hale house that was hidden, covered in dirty and leaves. Makena opened the door and jumped down, Amara following and Scott going in after them.

🐺

"Ready to have some more fun? To be honest, my knuckles are kind of hurting... So, I brought some help. But, I need to warn ya- I used to play in college." Marcus, the hunter who had been torturing Derek, said as he walked into the cellar room.

He walked up to Derek but froze slightly when he felt something metal touch the back of his head. "Drop the bat or I drop your life." Makena said while holding her gin to the man's head and the man instantly dropped the bat. Makena pulled the gun away making the man sigh in relief before Makena slammed the gun against the side of his head, knocking him out.

"Nice one, mom!" Amara said as she and Scott walked in. "Amara, help me with the other cuff." Makena said as she unlocked one of the cuffs around Derek's wrist. Amara went to move but Scott spoke up, "No." He said making them all look at him. "What?" Amara asked as she furrowed her brows, "Not until you tell me how to stop Peter." Scott said making Derek roll his eyes.

"You really wanna talk about this right now?" Derek asked in exasperation, "He's going after Allison and her family. He's going to kill them." He said. "So what?" Derek asked in annoyance, "So, tell me how to stop him." Scott said and Derek tried to yank the chain off him. "You can't! All right? Now, I don't know when Kate's coming back, so just get me out of this right now! Get me out right now!" Derek yelled but Scott didnt back down.

"Promise you'll help me." Scott said and Derek squinted at him slightly, "You want me to risk my life for your girlfriend? For your stupid little teenage crush that means absolutely nothing? You're not in love, Scott! You're sixteen years old! You're a child!" He said and Amara and Makena both raised her eyebrows. "I dont think you have room to talk." Amara said, smiling when Derek gave her a dirty look.

"You're right... But, I know something you don't. Peter said he didn't know what he was doing when he killed your sister, right? He lied. Remember this?" He asked as he pulled out a picture of a dead deer with a spiral carved in its body. "This is what brought your sister back to Beacon Hills, right?" Scott said and Derek looked back at Scott, "Where did you get that?" He asked.

"My boss told me three months ago, someone came into the clinic asking for a copy of this picture. Do you wanna know who it was? Peter's nurse. They brought your sister here so that Peter could kill her and become the Alpha, and that's why you're going to help me." Scott said and Amara furrowed her brows slightly as her eyes teared up before she took a deep breath and looked down.

"Just say you'll help me, and I'll help you unlock your other-" Scott went to say but Derek cut him off by snapping the chains in anger. "I'll help you." Derek said and Makena sighed in relief, "Great. Now can we get this over with already?" She asked and Scott nodded.

Amara climbed out of the tunnel with her mom and the guys behind her and the four of them started walking towards the Hale house until Derek slowed to a stop while breathing heavily. "Hey, hold on, hold on, hold on. Something doesn't feel right." He said making them look at him, "What do you mean?" Scott asked.

"I don't know, it's- it's kind of like it's-" Derek went to say but Scott cut him off, "No, don't say "too easy." People say "too easy" and bad things happen. What, do you think finding you was easy? Getting away from Allison's dad? None of this has been easy!" Scott said making Amara, Makena and Derek all glance at each other for a moment.

"Fine. You're right." Derek said and Scott nodded, "Thank you." He said and they were about to start walking even Makena suddenly stopped and threw her arm out making an arrow that was about to hit Derek, fly into a trew. Before anyone could really react an arrow suddenly went through Derek's shoulder.

"Now the leg." Amara heard Kate say right before an arrow went through Derek's leg. Scott and Amara looked over to see Allison pointing a bow and arrow at them with Kate by her side making their eyes widen slightly.

"Flash-bolt." Kate said making Amara look at Scott, "Scott, your eyes!" Amara said and her mom was just able to shield her before the arrow hit the tree. Both Amara and Makena were fine but Scott couldn't see at the moment and well, Derek had two arrows in side him. Makena ran over to Derek and pulled the arrows out before pulling him up while Amara pulled Scott up.

"Get up. Let's go!" Amara said as she started pulling Scott towards the house, "Natural talent." Kate said before walking following them. Allison grabbed her bow and arrows before following after her aunt. Amara and Makena pulled Scott and Derek towards the house until Scott and Derek both weakly fell to the ground making Amara sigh softly.

"Allison, listen." Amara said as Allison walked up, "Stop lying. For once, stop lying." She said. "I was gonna tell you the truth at the formal. I was gonna tell you everything... because everything that I said, everything that I did-" Scott said and Allison cut him off, "Was to protect me."

"Yes." Scott said and Allison glanced at Amara for a moment before shaking her head. "I don't believe you." Allison said and Kate groaned, "Thank God. Now, shoot him before I have to shoot myself!" She said as she walked over to to them. "You... you said we were just gonna catch them." Allison said and Kate nodded, "We did that. Now we're gonna kill them." Kate said before shooting Derek.

"See? Not that hard." Kate said before looking back at Allison, "Oh, no... I know that look. That's the "You're gonna have to do it yourself" look." Kate said before shrugging slightly and pointing at gun at Scott. "Kate... Kate, what are you doing?" Allison asked as she tried to pull Kate away but Kate just pushed her down while Amara glanced over at her mom who nodded.

"I love those brown eyes..." Kate said and Amara stepped in front of Scott making Kate hum slightly. "You might want to put your gun down." Amara said and Kate raised her eyebrows, "Oh really?" She asked. "Do realize that because of you I have fire magic... and because of you did, I have no problem seeing your face burn off." Amara said and Kate chuckled, "You're not going to kill me, Amara. You don't the guts." Kate said before a gun pressed up against the back of her head.

"She might not, but I definitely do." Makena said and Kate smiled in amusement, not looking away from Amara. "A risk I'm willing to take." Kate said as she was about to pull the trigger but someone called out her name.

"Kate!" Argent yelled making everyone except Amara look at him, "I know what you did. Put the gun down." Argent said and Kate glanced at the Hale House. "I did what I was told to do." Kate said and Argent shook his head slightly, "No one asked you to murder innocent people! There were children in that house, ones who were human. Look what you're doing now! You're holding to a sixteen-year-old girl with no proof she's spilled human blood! A girl you could've killed that night." Argent said.

"We go by the Code- Nous chassons ceux qui nous chassent." Argent said and Allison furrowed her brows slightly, "We hunt those who hunt us." She mumbled. Kate just looked back at Amara and went to pull the trigger until Argent pointed his gun at her. "Put the gun down..." He said before shoot at a tree behind Kate, "Before I put you down." He said.

Seething, but unable to do anything else, Kate finally begins to lower the gun. And as she lowers it, Argent notices something behind her. The door to the Hale house creaking open making them all look over. "Allison, get back." Argent said as Amara stepped towards her mother, "What is it?" Allison asked as Scott's eyes start to glow.

"It's the Alpha."

Something blurs past them before Argent's gun clatters to the ground. An instant later his body falls next to it, unconscious. Allison groaned as she gets knocks backward, a blur hurtling in front of her, knocking her compound bow right out of her hands and across the yard. Amara and Makena soon fall after, the two of them getting knocked to the ground at the same time then Scott.

"Come on! Come on!" Kate yelled as she whips her gun around, eyes searching. She turned around again only for her arm to get grabbed by Peter making her shoot a couple times in the air. Kate screams as Peter breaks her arm, pulling the weapon out of her hand he wrapped his hand around her neck, lifting her off her feet and tossing her onto the porch.

He walked over to her and grabbed her before dragging her into the house making Allison's eyes widen. "No!" Allison yelled before running after her making Amara's eyes widen, "No, Allison!" She yelled before quickly running after her.

Amara runs over to Allison, grabbing her arms and saw Peter holding Kate in front of him by the fireplace in the charred living room. His fingers press to her throat, right at her larynx.

"She is beautiful, Kate. She looks like you. Probably not as damaged. So, I'm going to give you a chance to save her. Apologize. I want you to look at my daughter and say that you're sorry for decimating our family, for leaving me burned and broken. For ripping father from his daughter for six year. Say it... and I'll let her live." Peter said and Amara was having a hard time believing that this man was her father.

"I'm... I'm sorry." Kate says and Amara closed her eyes, looking away while keeping a hold on Allison. Peter nodded before pressing his fingers tighter into Kate's throat. And with the sound of tearing flesh, his claws rip right through Kate's neck. Allison shrieks and goes to run forward but Amara stops her and pulls Allison behind her. "I don't know about you, girls, but that apology... didn't sound very sincere."

He looks at them and started to walk forward to them until he heard a growl making him look over at a transformed Scott as Derek walked into the room. "Run." Amara said, pulling Allison towards the back door. They run around the house and over to Makena who was crouched next to Argent who's still passed out.

"Dad? Dad!" Allison yelled as they dropped down next to him, "He's just knocked out. He's okay." Makena said before looking at her daughter who stared at the house with glossy eyes. "Amara?" Makena said and Amara shook her head slightly, "I'm fine." Amara mumbled making her sigh softly..

All of the sudden Scott comes flying through the window. He tumbles back across the yard and when he rolls to a stop as he gazes up to see the Alpha coming out of the side of the house. All of the sudden Jackson's car pulled up and honked before Jackson and Stiles climbed out. Stiles quickly chuckled a beaker at the Alpha who just caught him making Stiles' eyes widen.

"Oh, damn!" He muttered while Scott glanced around before noticing Allison's bow. "Allison!" He yelled before tossing the bow at her and she caught it before quickly nocking an arrow. The Alpha groaned and started to walk towards her but she pulled the sting back before letting the arrow slight right into the beaker.

The glass shattered and the Alpha's arm erupted in flames making him roar. Jackson quickly stepped forward before launching the beaker he held into the Alpha chest and now his entire body was on fire. The alpha roared in pain before started to charge at Allison but all of the sudden he froze.

Everyone looked over at Amara as she stood up, her eyes glowing her golden yellow-firey red mix while she made the flames bigger. She walked towards her father with glossy eyes, "You made her apologize to me." She said before shaking her head. "I never wanted an apology, I wanted it to be an accident. I wanted my dad back." She said before he suddenly went flying back into a tree.

Peter drops to the wet leaves underneath him, rolling to a stop as the fire dissipates to black smoke. Amara took a deep breath before she felt someone grab her hand making her look over to see Allison. Allison gave her a small, sad smile and Amara stared at her until Derek walked out of the Hale house and instantly started walking over to Peter.

He looked down at him as Peter struggled to breathe while Derek stood over him. Scott's eyes widened and he quickly got up and ran over. "Wait! You said the cure comes from the one who bit you." He said making Amara furrow her brows, "Derek, if you do this, I'm dead. The Argents- what am I supposed to do?" Scott asked.

Derek looked over at Amara as she stared at her father who stared back at her. A tear fell down her face making her suck in a deep breath and wipe it away before looking at her cousin. "Do it." She said making Scott's eyes widened before Derek raised his clawed hand up.

"Wait! No, no! Don't!" Scott yelled but Derek didnt listen as he brought his hand down,  severing Peter’s throat and sealing his own fate. He slowly turns back to Scott to reveal his eyes are glowing red, "I'm the Alpha now."

Amara took a deep breath before pulling away from Allison and walking away from the group.

🐺

Amara sat down next to Allison on the top of the Argents house. The two of them were quite for a moment before Allison sighed and looked over at Amara. "Why did you give Derek the go to kill your dad? I thought you wanted your dad back." Allison asked and Amara shook her head slightly.

"Because he's not the same man that I remember... The man I remember may have had some questionable moments but he did care about his family. He'd never even think about killing them." Amara said before looking up at the full moon. "You know, a few years after the fire there was a time where I wished he was dead." Amara said before looking at Allison as she shrugged slightly, "Because him being dead would have been easier than waiting years for him to heal." Amara said and Allison nodded slightly before wrapping her arms around her legs.

"Just so you know, it might be hard
