🦎 Ice Pick 🦎

"That thing had a tail. I don't have a tail." Amara said as she and Scott climbed up a rock wall during PE and Scott raised his eyebrows in amusement. "Technically, you do when you turn into a wolf. So you do have a tail." Scott said making Amara stop to give him a dirty look. "I'm kicking you off." Amara said making him chuckle, "No you won't." He said and she raised her eyebrows slightly.

Amara kicked Scott's foot making him fall to the mat with a groan making everyone laugh. "McCall, I don't know why, but your pain gives me a special kind of joy." Coach said leaning down to Scott before standing back up, looking at his clipboard, "All right, next two. Stilinski. Erica. Let's go!" Coach yelled as Amara jumped down and took off her harness.

Stiles steps alongside Erica Reyes, a girl whose nerves look as frayed as her hair. While Stiles quickly climbs the rock wa, Erica slowly drags her out-of-shape body up. A moment later Stiles lands back down on the mats while everyone else looks up to Erica, pinned on the wall, not moving. "Erica? You okay? Dizzy? Vertigo?" Coach called out, "Vertigo's a dysfunction of the vestibular system of the inner ear. She's just freaking out." Lydia said.

"Erica!" Coach called, "I'm fine." She called back weakly, "Coach, it's probably not safe. You know she's epileptic." Amara said making Coach look at her wide-eyed before looking back up. "Why the hell doesn't anyone tell me these things? Erica, you're good. Push off. I'll ease you down." Coach called out but now she won't move at all.

Closing her eyes, Erica finally pushes off. She swings out, hands grasping desperately for the safety line. Coach grapples with the cord, managing to ease her down before helping her out of the harness. She slowly turns to face the stares, some with pity in their eyes.

"That's it, Erica. Shake it off." Coach says and a few kids snicker, as she walked away. Amara rolled her eyes at the laughter, "Shut the hell up!" She yelled making everyone instantly stop laughing as she looked at all of them with a glare.

Amara walked into the cafeteria with Lydia and saw Stiles talking to a kid named Boyd, "I'll talk to you later." Amara said and walked over to Stiles and Boyd. "Come on, man. Have you seen the piece of crap Jeep that I drive?" Stiles said as Amara walked over to them.

"You seen the piece of crap bus that I take?" Boyd said and Amara pulled out fifty bucks out of her wallet. She grabbed a twenty off the table and handed the seventy dollars to Boyd, "Here, an extra twenty for having to deal with Stiles Stilinski." Amara said making Stiles frown and Boyd grin and hand her the keys.

"Pleasure doing business with you, Boyd!" Amara smiled and dragged Stiles with her over to where Scott was sitting. "We got 'em. I'll pick you up tonight after work and we'll meet at the rink. Cool?" Stiles said as they sat down but Scott wasn't paying attention.

They follow his gaze to the doors which slowly push open. The din and noise quiets around them. The entire cafeteria seems to turn their heads almost simultaneously as long, toned legs step through the threshold. Erica walks passes through the crowd, catching every eye with a new found confidence.

The flash of a bare midriff sends jaws dropping-guys and girls-as the stunning figure approaches a table. Erica reaches out to grab some guys apple, taking a bite before smirking over towards Scott and them before walking out. Walking up to the table Lydia slammed her hands on the table, "What. The holy hell. Is that?"

"That's Erica." Scott said as Erica turned and walked out if the cafeteria. A few seconds later Scott, Amara and Stiles shot up and ran after her.

The doors clatter open to the parking lot and the three of them rush out of the school just in time to see a very disturbing sight, Erica sliding into the passenger seat of a black Camaro. Behind the wheel, Derek locks eyes with Scott. With a slight smile turning the corners of his lips, he hits the gas, flooring it out of the lot.

Amara scoffed under her breath and shook her head slightly.

The group walk over to the doors and Stiles unlocks them and throws them open. As Amara, Allison, Lydia and Scott step inside, Stiles hits the lights revealing an empty ice rink. Allison and Amara smiled at Lydia and she just shrugged, stepping in with them.

A little while later Scott and Amara walked up to the ice. "Alright, since you've never skated before, should I give you a few pointers?" Amara asked and Scott gave her a cocky look, "Amara, not that this is news to you or anything but, you remember the Werewolf thing we got? Super speed, strength, and reflexes?" He said and she squinted at him and nodded slightly

Right, so ice skating should be no problem." She said and he nodded, "Yeah!" He said. "Okay." She said and gestured for him to walk onto the ice, Scott smirked slightly before stepping onto the ice. "See? It's no problem-" Scott started to say but go cut off by him falling making Amara laugh.

"Not that this is news to you or anything but, you remember the Werewolf thing we got?" Amara asked mockingly as she stepped up onto the ice, "Naturally being good at ice skating isn't part of the package." She said and he nodded. "Got it." He said and she chucked and held her hand out to help him off.

After a few minutes of trying to teach Scott how to skate, Allison and Amara skated next to each other, watching at Scott skated a little ways ahead of them.
"I think I'm getting the hang of it-" Scott said before running face first into the wall making Amara and Allison cringe slightly.

"You look like you hit your head that time..." Allison said as they got up to Scott, "What's that, Coach?" Scott asked and Amara nodded. "Yeah, you definitely hit your head.

A little while later Allison dragged Amara into a photobooth, "I can't believe I let you talk me onto this." Amara muttered making Allison laugh as she pressed a button. Allison smiled while Amara gave a playful annoyed look before their picture was taken. "Smile." Allison said said and this time Amara did smile but quickly held up her middle finger right before the flash went off.

Allison groan dramatically making Amara look over at her with a smile before their picture got taken again. "Okay, last one." Allison said as they both looked back at the camera. Amara smiled awkwardly and Allison suddenly wrapped her arms around Amara's shoulders and kissed her cheek making Amara close her eyes right as the flash went off.

Amara looked at Allison while Allison pulled away and grabbed the picture strip. "What happened?" Allison asked making Amara look at the pictures to see the first two had two light glares on Amara's eyes. "Oh, yeah. I forgot about that. The-the flash triggers my eyes." Amara said and Allison nodded slightly, "These ones are normal." Allison said, looking at the last two making Amara look at in amusement and Allison sighed softly.

"Oh, that's not what I meant." She said ans Amara chuckled and shook her head slightly. "It's fine, here." Amara said before grabbing the pictures and carefully ripping off the last two and handed them to Allison. "Thanks." Allison said, smiling at Amara who smiled back at her. They stared at each other for a moment before Allison started to lean forward.

But before their lips couch even get close to touching an ear piercing scream cut through the ice rink. They quickly ran out to the ice to see Lydia in the ground screaming while Scott and Stiles tried to comfort her. "Lydia!" Amara yelled as she and Allison ran over to them.

Amara got down next to Lydia before noticing that Lydia was staring at the ice while screaming. Amara furrowed her brows slightly before she looked down and it was like the ice had suddenly gotten clear and there was something under the ice. No, someone.

Her father.

"Amara? What is it?" Allison asked making Amara look up at her, Scott and Stiles as Lydia had stopped screaming and collapsed onto to Amara. Amara looked back down at the ice was it was completely normal. It wasn't clear anymore and more importantly, Peter wasn't under it.

"It's nothing..."

Erica stood at her locker, looking at a mirror before Amara walked up behind her making her take a deep breath before smiling and turning around. "Normally I would ask my cousin but he's being a bit of a dick right now so I'll just ask you. I know that two freshly bitten betas isn't enough for Derek. So, who's next?" Amara asked and Erica hummed and closed her locker.

"Why does there have to be a next when we've already got you and Scott?" Erica asked, "I said, 'who's next'." Amara said. "You know, I never knew what I looked like during a seizure until someone took a video of me once and put it online." Erica asked making Amara roll her eyes, "I couldn't care less." She said.

"It happened during class. I started seizing in my desk, and everyone was saying how they should put something in my mouth... until some genius reads the card on my key ring which tells him not to 'cause it could break my teeth." Erica said and Amara boredly raised her eyebrows, "Poor you." Amara said sarcastically.

"Do you know what happens next? I piss myself. And they start laughing. You know, the only good thing about seizures was that I never remembered them... until some brilliant jerk-off had to go and put cameras in everybody's phone." Erica said as she slightly pushed Amara against the lockers. "I didn't ask for your boring life story. I asked, who's next." Amara said and Erica just smirked slightly and put her hands on both sides of Amara's head.

"Look at me now, Amara." Erica said and Amara took a deep breath before catching the scent of jealousy. She looked down the hall to see Allison watching them and Erica scoffed slightly. "That's right- you only have eyes for her." Erica said and Amara rolled her eyes before roughly grabbing Erica's wrists making Erica gasp and smirked and Amara pulled then away from her.

"You're not a badass, Erica. I doubt you've even shifted yet." Amara said while tightly gripping Erica's wrist, "Keep with act up and I'll gladly put you in your place." Amara said before roughly dropping Erica's arms and walking away.

Amara sat at a table in the cafeteria as Allison walked over at sat in the chair behind her. "She's with Derek, now, isn't she? Like Isaac." Allison asked and Amara sighed, "Yeah, they won't tell me who else he's planning on adding to the pack." Amara said and Allison shook her head slightly.

"You can't get caught in the middle of this, Amara. Don't you feel what's happening? My grandfather coming here, Derek turning Erica and Isaac, it's... It's like battle lines are being drawn." Allison said and Amara took a deep breath nodded, "I know." She said. "There's always crossfire." Allison said and Amara sighed and shook her head slightly.

"What am I supposed to do? I can't just do nothing about this. My cousin, who is my Alpha, is biting random people and he's not telling me a head of time. I have to do something, even if it's just getting one of them to talk." Amara said and Allison raised her eyes to her self slightly.

"You're still gonna be in Derek's pack?" Allison asked and Amara shrugged slightly and shook her head, "I can't be like Scott and be an Omega while your grandfather's in town. What I can do is be in Derek's pack but not follow what he says. I'm not just protecting myself, I'm protecting my mom. I just need to be a normal beta." Amara said and Allison shook her head slightly.

"I don't want you to just be a beta- I want you to be alive." Allison said before grabbing her stuff and walking away making Amara look at her. Amara sighed softly before Scott sat down across from her, "What was that about?" He asked and Amara shook her head. "My cousins being a problematic dick." She said and Scott chuckled and raised his eyebrows, "What's new?" He asked making her chuckle.

All of the sudden Stiles ran up to them and leaned on the end of the table, "Guys, do you see that?" He asked pointing at an empty table. "What? It's an empty table." Scott said and Stiles nodded, "Yeah, but whose empty table?" Stiles asked and Amara stared at the table until realization crossed over her face.

'Boyd."

Amara, Scott and Stiles hurry for the school exit, "Amara and I will to the ice rink, see if he's there. And, if he's not at home, you call me, got it?" Scott said but Stiles pauses at the door, "What?" Amara asked and Stiles sighed. "Maybe we should let him." He said hesitantly making them look at him confused, "Boyd, you know, man? You said Derek's giving them a choice, right?" Stiles said and Scott shook his head. "We can't."

"You gotta admit, Erica looks pretty good... You know, the word "sensational" comes to mind..." Stiles said and Amara raised her eyebrows, "How do you think she's gonna look with a wolfsbane bullet in her head? Which is more likely to happen with Gerard being here." Amara said making him sigh and nod. "All right. All I'm saying is, maybe this one isn't totally your responsibility." He said looking at Scott.

"They all are. And you know this thing's gonna get out of control. That makes me responsible." Scott said and Stiles nodded, "All right, I'm with you. And, I also gotta say... this new-found heroism is making me very attracted to you." Stiles said making Amara chuckle and shake her head.

"Shut up." Scott said as he slightly shoved Stiles, "No, seriously! Do you wanna just try making out for a sec? Just to see how it feels?" Stiles asked and Scott suppressed a smile as he and Amara walked away.

Running into the ice rink, Scott and Wren instantly spotted Boyd on the zamboni and ran over. "Boyd!" Scott yelled but Boyd just ignored him, "Boyd, I just wanna talk... Hey, come on. Boyd, please. Did Derek tell you everything? And I don't just mean going out of control on the full moons- I mean everything." Scott asked and Boyd finally slowed to a stop.

"He told me about the Hunters." Boyd said and Amara sighed, "And that's not enough for you to say no? Boyd, the supernatural life isn't as fun as it might sounds. Whatever you want, there's other ways to get it." Amara said and Boyd just shrugged and looked at her.

"I just wanna not each lunch alone every day." He said and she sighed, "You could have talk to me at anytime. If you're looking for friends, you can do a lot better than Derek." Amara said. "That really hurts, cousin." Derek suddenly spoke up making Amara and Scott turn around to see Derek with Isaac and Erica behind him, "I mean, if you're going to review me, at least take a consensus. Erica, how's life been for you since we met?"

"In a word? Transformative." Erica smirks before letting our a snarl, confidently showing off her fangs making Amara cringe, "Let me guess... You watched a couple teenage vampire movies and thought that was intimidating?" Amara asked making Erica growl. Derek just rolled his eyes before glancing at his other beta, "Isaac?" He asked. "Well, I'm a little bummed about being a fugitive... but, other than that, I'm great." Isaac said.

"Okay, hold on. This isn't exactly a fair fight." Scott said and Derek smirked slightly and shrugged, "Then go home, Scott." He said. When Scott didnt move, Derek nodded slightly making Erica and Isaac start to walk forward. All of the sudden Scott growled and punched the ice below him before looking up, completely transformed.

"I meant, fair for them." Scott said before letting out a loud roar making Amara sigh and shake her head, "I'm not getting paid for this" She mumbled as she stood off to the side

After a few minutes of fighting, Scott managed to throw Isaac across the ice and kick Erica against the zamboni. Isaac growled under his breath before getting up and walking towards Scott as Erica got up. Isaac grabbed Scott my the neck, slamming him against the zamboni before tossing him across the ice some.

Scott ran forward, tackling Isaac, slamming him down on the ice a couple times before Erica jumped on Scott's back. Scott backed up, slamming Erica against the zamboni making her fall off him while Isaac ran up. He threw a punch but Scott ducked before punching Isaac in the stomach making him groan and bend forward slightly giving Scott the perfect opportunity to slam his hand down in Isaac's back.

Isaac sat up slightly but didnt have any time before Scott kicked him in the face making him fall back. "Don't you get it? He's not going this for you. He's just adding to his own power, okay? It's all about him. He makes you feel like he's giving you some kind of gift, when all he's done is turn you into a bunch of guard dogs!" Scott said before sliding Erica and Isaac across the ice to Derek's feet.

"It's true. It is about power." Derek said before his eyes went bright red as he walked forward and flicked his claws out making Amara's eyes widen. Derek let out a small roar as he full transformed making Scott back up slightly. Suddenly, Derek slammed his head against Scott's before swiping his claws again Scott's abdomen. Derek punched Scott in the face a few times before punching him in the stomach.

He went to grab him but Scott swung his elbow back, hitting Derek in the face making Derek step back a bit. Derek smirked and growled slightly before walking towards Scott again. Scott swung his arm out but Derek blocked him before punching him in the face a few times.

Derek grabbed him before slamming him down on the ice making Scott spit out some blood before Derek pressed his foot to Scott's chest. Amara went to run forward but Isaac suddenly grabbed her making her stop. "Are you seriously trying me right now?" She said, trying to pull away from him.

Amara grabbed his arm, which were around her wait before her hands started ti glow a red
