He could hear Lydia screaming underground, he could hear her father's steps come to a halt as he realised what happened. But he couldnt hear what he wanted to, no needed to hear in order to stay alive. he couldn't hear her heartbeat.

For a moment his brain stopped all function. It needed a second to understand what had just happened a few moments ago in this place. he couldn;t believe this was hapening, he didn't want to. The sight before him though wouldn't let him convince himself otherwise. She was dead. Allison was dead.

That is when he snapped. He rose his head glaring at the one who was responsible for all this, wearing the shape of his best friend and all he felt was hatred. His face had nothing of the boy he usually was, there was no Scott anymore, there was only the beast.

The Nogitsune turned to leave that place. Probably thinking of what chaos he would bring about next and where, until he felt one of the oni dissapear. It whipped its head around to see what happened and saw Scott with his clawed hands ripping it in half and tuning it into smoke. Scott then started sprinting towards the nogitsune, quickly dispatching every oni that tried to get in his way without much effort. When he caught up to it he grabbed it by the throat and raised in the air. For a moment he almost hesitated given the nogitsune's form, almost. He raised his free hand in the air and with all the strength he could muster, stabbed the nogitsune in the heart.

At the same time Lydia had just climbed up out of the ruined building carrying Stiles along her shoulder. When she finally registered what was goin on around her she was rendered speechless.

When Scott finally came to his senses he still had his hand lodged inside the nogitsune's chest. He hurriedly removed it and threw what was now the nogitsune's lifeless body. When it touched the ground it almost instantly turned to dust, to the suprise of everyone there. Then Scott fell to his knees. As it seemed the rush of adrenaline his anger gave him had already started to subside. As he lowered his head he notised movement in the pile of ashes that lay down before him. A firefly dug itself out of it and started to fly away. He caught it with his bare, now human, hands. He couldn't believe that something so small could cause so much destruction. His mind raced along the memories of these past few months and he found himself getting angrier by the second. So he crushed it, with very little if any remorse. The nogitsune was finally gone.

Afterwards he got up and started shuffling back to where Allison was laying. He took small delliberate steps, almost hesitant. He didn't know how to face what he knew to be true. Now that his rage had left him he didn't know how to react to what he had realised just happened. He couldn't, he wouldn't. He needed to change it. He needed her alive. Then the gears in his mind started moving. Slowly but surely, as if years of rust had finally been cleared off of them, his mind started going into overdrive. He started remembering every moment of his life ever since he got bitten by Peter, going through every single one trying to find even the most minute detail that could help him overcome this situation. It seemed crazy even to him, that he was pretty much trying to change the past, but something told him that it wasn't. It was as if a voice deep inside him was practically screaming the answer to him. He tried to listen to that voice, he tried to find it digging deep in the innermost crevices of his soul.

By the time he reached Allison, Chris, Lydia, Isaac, Stiles, Kira and even Noshiko were gathered around her. When they realised he was there everyone of them, except Chris made room for him to sit near her and stepped back. Once he did Chris raised his head to look upon Scotts face expecting it to be filled with tears and sorrow. Despite his previous varried reactions to Scotts presence in his daughter's life, he knew Scott loved her almost as much as he did, just in a different way. However what he saw in Scott's face was not tears or sorrow or regret. There was only determination.

The next moment Scott took Allison on his arms, turned arround and started walking towards the gate in front of which he gave his pep speech minutes before. Everybody was stunned in their places, not being able to figure out what was going on in his head right now. The first to regain his composure was Chris. He started running towards Scott asking the same question that was in everyone's mind, what the hell was he doing. Once he reached him he grabed him by the shoulder and forced him to turn arround. once he did Scott started talking in a voice so calm and collected, it both reassured and frightened him to his very core

"Mr Argent" he said,"i need you to take everyone here along with the sheriff, my mother and Dr Deaton and gather at my house as soon as possible. once you do i will give you instructions on what to do next."

"Instructions for what exactly,"he asked frustrated,"and where the hell are you going with my daughter's body Scott"

"I will explain later" scott said with such urgency and power in his voice that the old hunter had never heard in the boy which made him flinch. When Scott turned around to leave, Chris drew his gun and pointed it right at his head and asked as calmly as he could," What are you going to do Scott."

That is when Scott, without turning around or showing any indication of stopping, answered "I am going to change destiny mrArgent. Her destiny."

And with that he started running towards the woods carrying what was for the moment the lifeless body of the girl he loved.

The mcCall house a several ours later

Despite his outburst Chris did what Scott asked and gathered everyone at the house. They were all gathered in the living room not saying a single word. Stiles was laying down in the sofa, being checked on by dr Deaton. The doc wanted to make sure that the death of the nogitsune had not effected him physically, given that the half of his "shape" that had been taken, turned to dust. Suprisingly Stiles seemed and felt great, physically anyway. Lydia was sitting on the edge of the sofa holding his hand, an event which would have made him start bouncing all over the place at any other occasion. But not now. Melissa and the Sheriff had each taken a chair from the kitchen and sat down silently waiting for someone, anyone, to tell them what happened, issac was sitting in an armchair just staring into space, not bothering to think of anything, because if he did he would just break down again. And as for Chris, he couldn't stop pacing around the room the whole time he was there. Kira and Noshiko had chosen not to be there for whatever reason.

Suddenly the phone rung. It took everyone by suprise, as they all got stiff as a board. The first to regain her composure was Mellisa. She went to the phone, checked the caller id, blocked. She picked it up and asked who it was. When she heard the voice on the other end of the line her face slipped into an expression of relief and love. It was Scott

"Where are you Scott? We've been waiting for you for hours" she in the room tensed up once they heard who it was. Finally, they were going to find out what he has been doing this whole time and why, and find out what their "instructions" were, whatever that meant.

Scott then told his mother to putt him on speaker so that he could talk to everyone. Once she did everyone stayed silent and waited. None of them knew why but they were all doing what Scott told them to do. Maybe it was because before he dissapeared with Allison's body he seemed different,like a whole different person or maybe they were all just in shock.

Then scott's voice sounded."Hello everyone," he said with the same calm and authouritative voice as before,"i am going to skip the pleasantries and answer the question that is on your mind before you even ask it. The reason i left so abruptly with Allison is because i didn't have enough time to waste."

"what do you mean Scott, and why did you have Christopher gather us all here in your house" said Deaton always the most calm in any situation

"i would like to know that too Scott, along with what the hell happened in that place because i am getting the scense that only you know the full answer to that"said the Sheriff, not one to like leaving mysteries unsolved

"What i mean"said Scott,finally speaking up,"is exactly what i said.I was running out of time. I needed to take the proper actions to save Allison's life as soon as possible."

Once he said that everyone in the room looked equal parts hopefull and doubtfull. Lydia was thefirst one to speak up"Scott" she said with a quivering voice," Allison is dead. I felt her die, her heart had already stopped when i went to her side. She had an arrow through her chest."

"It is true that Allison's heart stopped Lydia, and yes she had an arrow through her chest, but she wasn't dead, not yet." answered Scott almost forcing her to believe him. She couldn't though, not after seeing her best friend dead.

"you can realise how that may seem kind of unrealistic to us Scott"Deaton spoke taking an almost pitying tone to his voice. He obviously thought Scott had lost it, probably thought that the pain Scott felt from losing Allison destroyed his mind. And yet a part of him, Just like Lydia, unexplicably felt almost forced to agree with what Scott said.

"Don't patronize me doctor, you of all people should know that there are many forms of death in this world besides physical ones. After all you are the one with the most experience on the ins and outs of the supernatural. Isn't that right mr druid" said Scott, his voice taking once again the very calm and authoritative tone he had before and leaving the good doctor speechless."Anyway enough of that. In the next few weeks or months i will do what is neccesary to save Allison's life. you will all stay in Beacon Hills and wait."

To that Chris finally raised his voice and asked" what exactly is neccesary Scott" his voice taking a threatning tone. He had heard and seen a lot in his long carreer as a hunter and out of all of them everything that pertained to the topic of ressureccion wasn't good.

Don't worry mr Argent, nothing along the lines of what you are probably thinking."answered Scott, sounding almost amused for the first time in this entire night, which made everyone even more confused."I won't go into details because frankly it would take too long and time is of the essence. Right now i will give you all your instructions."When he said that all of them finally snapped out of the shock and confusion this exchange had caused them and found themselves waiting intenly for them. By then they all probably figured that the only way for them to figure out what was going on was to play along.

"first things first, mr Argent you are to inform of everyone that may ask that Allison is not in Beacon Hills anymore because she is visiting some relatives out of state. I will let you decide on a proper reason of said visit. Secondly, mom tommorow, or should i say today given that it is almost dawn,you will go to the sheriff's office and declare me missing."

"What,why" asked mellisa sounding worried as hell.

"I am going to be gone for quite a while, and that is the only explanation that you could give for my absence without letting dad know about this entire situation. Don't worry i will come back once i am done with what i set out to do" answered Scott his voice softening after hearing his mother being worried about him.

"Scott what the hell is going on with you. You dont seem like your usual self."Finally Stiles spoke up bluntly pointing out what everyone in the room wanted to ask but didn't have the nerve to."And no bullshit either, not to me, not today."That left everyone speechless. It was the first time Stiles spoke ever since he saw Allison's body. They all just thought he was in shock and couldn't do or say anything except also suprised Scott as well because he didn't answer him immediately like he did everyone.

When he finally spoke up he said" Rule number zero Stiles, That is what is going on with me."When Scott uttered those words Stiles' eyebrows rose so high they almost fused with his hair. His eyes begun to water and his face showed an almost impossible amount of suprise and joy, considering he looked practically dead seconds ago. Once he regained his composure he hesitantly opened his mouth and asked"Are... are you back Scooty?"That filled everyone's face with even more confusion, if that was even possible.

'what the hell was going on' thought Mellisa. Stiles hasn't called Scott, Scooty ever since they were kids... 'No way, it isn't possible' she thought."Scott does that mean what i think it means" she immediately asked without even realizing it.

"Yes mom" answered Scott,"it does, and yes Stiles i am. I know you probably have thousands of questions to ask me but again, i don't have alot of time right now so they will have to wait. I know it is unfair, if not cruel, of me to ask you this but you must stay put. I am going to hang up know."

that is when chris decided to finally chime in again. " wait" he said sounding desperate" i am going to ask you this one time and i want a straight answer. Can you bring back my little girl?".He said it with such intensity and emotion that he almost seemed to age just by uttering those words right in front of everyone. That is when Scott's voice sounded again with equal intensity and even greater vigor than before " Yes mr Argnet. Yes i can"
