( Twin 1 succeeds (19), halting all of Stiles momentum as he hits the ground.
Twin 2 keeps Scott on the defensive as he brings his arms up (13). Blood sprays from the scratches.
Stiles forcefully tries to shake his leg free before trying to kick twin 1 in the head (10) and Scott attempts to parkour over twin 2 but, she's far too inside his personal space (2) and he takes her with him, the both of them falling forward (him)/backward (her). )
[Twin 1 takes the kick in the head and loses his grip on Stiles' ankle (2). He's dazed and tries to shake it off, before pushing himself up and charging towards both the vampire and the werewolf he seems to want to protect. He slashes down on Cora (18 vs. 6) and draws blood.
Cora comes up snarling and does her best to slash back (15 vs. 3). Blood sprays from his face and he stumbles back with a scream.
Twin 2 goes down, but she just barely manages to roll out from under him and stay clear (8). Then she tries to slash at Scott again (11), trying to stay on top of him and not give him room to breathe.]
Stiles runs, attempting to swipe the stake up in his hand (10), before rearing it back and trying to stab Twin 1 in the back (6).
Damon arrives, focusing on Twin 2 ontop of Scott, (11) to break her neck, and as Damon has in the past, he jumps right to murder. She goes limp ontop of Scott.
Bloody arm in front of him, Scott tries to pull himself out from under her. (17). )
[Twin 1 hears the snap of his sister's neck, and he turns to face Damon with an angry snarl. He starts to charge towards the vampire, but Stiles stab catches him in the ribs (5), and he cries out in pain instead, his attack diverted to the younger vampire as a result (4).
Cora again seizes an opportunity and slashes down into the lamprey's back (14 vs. 10). The second blow is too much and the creature drops to his knees, having taken too many shots in a quick succession.]
( Growing up meant Scott had been more used to death being an inevitable result, but it always hits his compassionate side hard. That was someone's daughter, even if she killed Ivan - and tried to kill him.
Twin 1 relents and Stiles' rage subsides, his heartbeat returning to normal as he heaves in breaths he doesn't need to be taken.
[Cora also attempts to catch her breath, looking over both her friends to make sure they're actually okay. She glances over to Damon, before giving him a small nod in return.]
( He doesn't know if the siblings were trying for a new start, or on the run. They don't know anything. )
You went after friends of my friends. Not Ivan Russion-last-name. But.
("Was it an accident?" Stiles asks, meaning before, meaning Ivan.
Scott gets a (17) to properly recover from being almost drained into unconsciousness, so, he's finally able to move, joining the group. He checks in on Cora, are you okay Cora? )
[Cora is fine. She gives Scott a nod that she's okay. She's healing. She's also worried about Stiles, seeing the remains of where the stake wound used to be.
Twin 1 looks back at Stiles and snorts. "Does it matter? I know where this is going to end anyway."]
( Stiles bounced back (nat 20) at ignoring all the pain he could be feeling, including the pain of being so vicious when it comes to defending his life.
"Yeah, well. You jumped Cora. Attacked me and Scott. Killed Ivan from Norfolk."
And when it comes to what happens next, it might be complicated considering what this kid is. )
Cora doesn't bother to confirm. The smell of death isn't strong, given how recent it is, but it's there, starting to cloy in the air. But what she does pick up on is the sound of footsteps approaching (20) as the Winchesters join the party.
Sam glances over the scene, and then frowns back at the group. "Everyone okay?"]
["I haven't confessed to shit." Twin 1 speaks up, glaring down at them. "They're all working on fucking assumptions."
Cora turns back on him with a glare.]
You attacked us first.
["Yeah, because that's fucking Scott McCall." He may not know Damon from anyone (7), but he knows the true alpha of Beacon Hills (16). "Do you know how many people have walked into his territory and haven't walked back out again?"
He looks back at the Winchesters because while he doesn't really know the Winchesters either, he can tell a hunter when he sees one (11). "You want to put someone on your hit list, it should be him, not us."]
We were following a blood trail left by the killer. The blood was moving away from where we found the body. The deputy sent us a picture of one of the wounds, indicating that it was a lamprey. And before we could get much further than that, they jumped us.
[And, the downside of getting into a bloody fight is that now their blood is mingled all over the twins clothes, and it's hard to tell who it belongs to -- the original victim, or the werewolves and vampire that they jumped.
"And as I said, when the guy who takes out three Argents, and four-fifths of the Alpha Pack, including who knows what else, you go on the fucking defensive." He shakes his head. "There's even rumors that he broke the Wild Hunt."]
( Dean, still wary, believes her with an (11), but it's going to take a lot for him to take everyone at face value.
Dean stays quiet, ready to speak on Garth's behalf. It's not often a wolf, or shapeshifter has such skewed versions of themselves. Of course, the Winchesters were world breaking blasphemers. It's the rumor mill. )
The Wild Hunt almost erased my hometown. I didn't kill anyone in the Alpha Pack and they came after mine. I don't know what you think my territory is, but if it's Northern California, I'm hardly ever there, now. And my friends protect it. I'm sorry you've heard how violent a killer I am, but that's the last thing I've ever been, and the last thing I want to be. I hate that he killed your sister.
("Hey", Damon says, from the side. )
If you killed Ivan, we weren't hunting you down to even the score. We were trying to find a killer. Because I work with the local authorities, or I help those that need it. Were you in trouble?
( It's not Scott's most rousing speech, but he tries (15). )
[There's a very brief flicker of a reaction to the speech, but it's not wondering if he's wronged the man in front of him. In fact, it's a more furtive glance to the two hunters on the other side of the clearing, knowing that they're going to decide his fate more than anyone else here (14).
So he keeps his mouth shut, not wanting to dig himself any further into this hole unless he has a way out.
Because no. He wasn't in trouble. And Sam sees it (20).]
I don't think he was then. But he definitely is now.
He didn't say that. In fact, he's very pointedly not saying that.
[Which in Sam's eyes is at least involvement. The guy glares up at him, before shaking his head and continuing not to speak.
There's another set of footsteps and Lydia finally joins the party, looking around at the group and taking in the scene. Her eyes linger on the dead body briefly, before looking at the rest of the group.
But since she can read the tension happening, she's not going to say anything.]
[He still says. His expression isn't entirely guilty. In fact, he doesn't seem like he's torn up about it at all. It's more an expression of living to fight another day and being lividly angry that this vampire had managed to get the drop on him and killed his sister.]

Messy disposal on your part.

His sister. They're twins.

[So no, she's not. And given what Lydia has told her about Dean, there's a Hale stare to go along with it, daring him to challenge her on it.
