( 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.]

Some shapeshifters heal.
( Breaking twin 2's neck may not have killed her.
It probably did.
But also maybe not. )

Nothing we won't heal from.

a (10) for Scott, a (2) for Stiles and a (17) for Damon, means only Damon looks up when Cora does. Scott and Stiles turn when Sam speaks.
Dean notices the young woman who's not moving. )
Is she?
no subject
[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.
Sam holds up his hands placatingly, because they're not there to start a fight. "We're just trying to understand what happened, that's all."]

That Scott McCall? Professor Smiles?
( Scott McCall's reputation is anything but.
Dean tries to sense his motive (5), but Dean is unfamiliar with this guy and just walked into a situation.
"Everybody hold on. He attacked you guys, he and his sister." )

( Shit.
Damon looks around, because this seems like a his fault thing.

Maybe. But, there's still someone else out there that did kill someone.

Stiles, too, wonders what they missed, if they were wrong with lamprey.
But, Scott settles his features. )
Was it an accident?

I'm sorry. Either way. Call Miller.
