Scott McCall was sitting in the passenger seat of his mother's car watching the remnants of the life he knew pass him by. Melissa and Scott had both decided the move would be a good thing, but now with Beacon Hills in the rearview mirror and the "Welcome to National City" sign coming into focus, Scott realized just how much he would miss his home and his friends.

The latest attack on Scott and his pack had left Melissa's house in shambles and she had finally had enough. She was not only tired of making countless and expensive repairs, but she was tired of living a life of violence and danger. She and her son deserved more. They deserved a happy life.

Melissa knew that the decision to move was hard for Scott. In his eyes he was abandoning his pack, his friends, and his family. That's not what an Alpha does, but at the end of the day he was her child and he had to go where his mother took him.

Melissa glanced at Scott from the corner of her eyes, making sure to keep her focus on the road. He was gazing out the window, lost in his thoughts.

Melissa tried to break the ice, "Isn't it beautiful here, Scott?"

Scott continued to look out the car window. The road they were driving on looked like it was smack dab in middle of the desert. Not much to really call beautiful, unless you found giant red rocks majestic.

Instead of giving his mom a smart-aleck response, he told her what he knew she wanted to hear, "It's great, mom."

"It's so bright and sunny! I can barely see the road in front of me."

"Maybe you should put on some sunglasses?"

Melissa smiled, "You know I hate wearing sunglasses. I think I'll manage."

Scott rolled his eyes and went back to staring out the window. He noticed something in the sky, and at first he thought it was an airplane, but it was moving astonishingly fast.

"Mom, what's that?"

Melissa turned and looked at where her son was pointing in the sky. She couldn't make out what the object was, but whatever it was, it was moving really fast.

"I don't know, Scott. It almost looks like-"

Scott cut her off, "like a meteor."

"It can't be a meteor. It would have been all over the news if something like that were going to happen."

Scott couldn't stop looking at the now apparent falling object. "Mom, whatever it is, it's falling! And it's falling fast!"

Melissa took another look and realized her son was right. It was not only falling fast, but it looked like they were right in its path.

Scott turned to look at his mother, and could see the worry written all over her face. "Mom, is that thing going to hit us?!"

Melissa grabbed the steering wheel of the car until her knuckles were white. "Not if I can help it." She floored the car and was pushing 100 mph in no time, but she knew in her heart that no matter how fast she drove it wouldn't make much difference. Even if she managed to get out of being directly hit from the meteor, she knew once that thing hit the ground, it wouldn't be good.

"Mom, it's getting closer! What are we going to do?!"

Melissa looked over at her son and had to force the feeling to cry away. She thought leaving Beacon Hills would keep them save and here they were literally in the path of destruction.

"All we can do is pray, Scott. We'll be o-," Melissa didn't get to finish reassuring her son that everything would be okay.

In the blink of an eye the meteor came crashing down in front of the McCalls, catapulting their car several hundred feet into the air. The car was thrusted into a shower of rocks and sand which blew right through windshield and windows. Melissa and Scott were knocked unconscious before the car smashed into the ground below.
