Omega:
Bex was tired. At almost nine thirty at night all she wanted to do was go to the house, shower and sleep. The plane ride had way too much turbulence and the screaming baby behind her didn't help. She just wanted Danny to hurry up and get here. She sat down on a chair right outside of the doors to the airport with her 3 bags and waited for him. After twenty minutes she saw the headlights of his black Mustang.
Danny stepped out smiling at his cousin. " Hey. Sorry, I'm late, Bex." He said giving her a hug, which she returned.
" You're not late. My flight came in early. It's good to see you Danny boy. Someone bulked up." She said teasingly as she pulled away to look at her tall handsome cousin. They hadn't seen each other in a while but they were close and they always kept in touch. Bex was one of the first people he came out too and she accepted him and treated him just as she always had.
Danny chuckled as he helped put her bags into the back. " Yeah, lacrosse does that and stop calling me Danny boy, Rebecca." He said with a smirk knowing how much she hated to be called Rebecca.
" Touché, cousin, Touché." She said as she got in the car with him. He started driving out of the airport. " So, tell me what's happened? I haven't been to Beacon Hills since before high school. Is everyone still there?" She asked curiously as she fiddled with the radio.
" If by everyone you mean, Scott and Stiles then yes." He said smiling as he took a right turn as she found a station.
" I can't believe Scott and Stiles are still there. I wonder they'll remember me." Bex said out loud to herself. She left Beacon Hills the summer before freshman year and she was different. But, Scott and Stiles were close friends.
" They will, don't worry." He said reassuring her. " And Jackson and Lydia are there too. We can go see her after we get you settled." He said. Danny already told his cousin everything about Lydia being attacked and the new girl Allison's aunt being a serial killer who was killing people around town.
Bex groaned. " You're still conversing with that douche bag?" She said. Lydia was a good friend to her and she felt bad about what happened to her but she didn't like Jackson at all.
Danny rolled his eyes at my comment knowing her hostile feelings about Jackson. " Really? Can't you try to be nice to him?"
" I could try and succeed if he wasn't such an asshole but that would take a lot of work on his part. Why is it so important that I be nice to Jackass Jackson anyways?" Bex said smiling at her witty nickname for him.
" Because, he's my best friend and I don't want you two fighting. Just give him a chance, please. He's not all bad and he grows on you." Danny replied as we pulled into his house.
Bex snorted but nodded knowing it was important to him. " Fine, I'll do it but for you not for that asshole." She said as they got out of the car.
" Thank you." He said.
" Yeah, whatever." She mumbled as he helped her get her bags out of the back of his car. He unlocked the front door to his huge house and let her in. " Where's aunt Rachel and uncle Jerry?" She asked as they rolled her bags into the family room.
" They said they were sorry but had to go out tonight for some work thing and couldn't get out of it but they'll be back later tonight." Danny said as he carried the bags up the stairs and she followed behind. Bex knew his parents were really busy and rarely home. His phoned had a text he looked at is as he turned left and went down the hallway and passed a few rooms before he opened up the door at the end.
It was a huge bedroom with it's own bathroom and a queen size bed pushed up against the wall with a desk and a huge closet. Bex flopped down on her bed as Danny rolled in the suitcases. " I am so tired." She murmured her face in the pillow.
Danny chuckled and sat behind her. " You should get some rest. We have to go to school tomorrow and I'm going to help you get enrolled." He said as she groaned at the thought of school. " Hey, at least you get to see all of your old friends."
" True but I'm so tired. I can barely put my things up," She whined again as she flipped herself over.
" You're so dramatic and I'm not doing it for you." He said as he got up from her bed.
"Who was that text from?" She asked.
" It was from Stiles. Lydia apparently decided to take a nude walk in the woods and they have no idea where they are. There's nothing we can do now." Danny said quickly as he knew she was going to get up. " He didn't say much but I'll find out more tomorrow."
" Okay." She sighed thinking of her friend freezing cold at night. Why would she just up and leave like that, naked no less?
" Are you going to be okay?" He asked concerned about her knowing she was worried about Lydia.
Bex smiled and shook her head. "I'm just going to get some sleep." He smiled started to walk out. " Thanks, Danny. I've missed you."
Danny turned and smiled at his cousin. " I've missed you too. See you in the morning." He said as he left the room and closed the door. Bex got her pajamas out still worried about her old friend. Even in middle school Lydia was brilliant and Bex admired her. She climbed in her bed and turned off the light knowing Danny probably went to bed as well. As Bex fell asleep she swore she heard a girl scream.
" This is going to be horrible." Bex said as they pulled into a parking space at the school. Danny had woken her up and the nerves of going to a new school set in. She saw Jackson get out of his Porsche cockily and say something to a homeless man and throw him a dollar. Knowing Jackson is was probably saying something ignorant.
" You'll be okay." Danny said as they got out of the car. "Listen I'll go get your schedule and everything just meet me by the front office." He said as he walked away.
Bex took a deep breath and walked towards the school. She was almost at the door when her book dropped out of her bag. She bent to pick it up and when she got up someone ran into her. She stumbled back as someone caught her arm.
" Oh, god, I'm sorry." Stiles said as he and Scott who was behind him went to pick up the books.
" Thanks. That's okay." Bex said as she started putting them up in her bag and she finally got a good luck at their faces. " Scott? Stiles?" She asked.
" Yeah." Stiles said unsure. Scott looked confused.
" It's me, Bex. Bex Ravenwood." She said. They smiled as they remembered their old friend who looked way different.
" Bex!" Stiles shouted and hugging her. She chuckled as Scott did the same. " When did you get back?" He asked.
" Late, last night. Danny picked me up from the airport. I heard about Lydia, I'm sorry." She said to Stiles, as he grew somber.
" Yeah, we tried looking last night but nothing." Scott said as they walked into the school.
" Well, I'll help look for her. She was a great friend." Bex said. Stiles and Scott looked panicked. " What?" She asked.
" Just that it's dangerous and we don't want you to get hurt." Stiles said unconvincingly. Bex was suspicious.
" Yeah, but they'll be the police and other people out looking for her too. I'll be fine. Besides, it's supposed to freezing tonight so we need to find her." She said. Before they could say anything she noticed Scott looking at a girl at her locker.
" Hey, guys I have to go but I'll see you guys later." He said not looking at us as he walked away.
" What was that about?" Bex said as they reached the front office.
" It's his old girlfriend, Allison Argent." Stiles said.
" Oh, yeah. Danny told me about her aunt. That has to be hard on her." She said as Danny came out with her schedule. " Thanks, Danny boy." She said as Danny rolled his eyes and Stiles laughed.
" Danny boy?" He asked still laughing. Danny glared at him and he shut up. " Listen, I have to get to class but we'll talk later. Bye." He said as he walked the opposite way to class. Danny shook his head confused and they started walking to out first class.
All the other classes went well. Stiles and Scott seemed preoccupied over something but they were happy that Bex was back but worried that she might find out about what's really happening in Beacon Hills.
The last class was chemistry, which she had with Danny, Jackson, Scott and Stiles. Danny and Jackson were behind her. Bex sat with Stiles who was whispering to Scott who was in front of them about something. She could only catch a bit of the conversation.
" What if he's right? What if the next body part she takes is still alive?" Stiles asked Scott whispering but Bex could still hear them. She was confused.
" This is a pop quiz, Mr. Stilinski. If I hear your voice again I may be tempted to give you detention for the rest of your high school career." Mr. Harris said. Bex knew better than to cross him so she stayed out of it.
" Can you do that?" Stiles asked. Bex rolled her eyes.
" There it is again, your voice. Triggering the only impulse I have to strike a student, repeatedly, violently. I'll see you at three for detention." He said turning his back on him. Stiles groaned. Bex gave him a sympathetic smile.
The whole class laughed at Stiles and Mr. Harris. Bex could see behind her that Jackson was bleeding and Danny looked worried but she tried to put it out of her mind.
At the end of the day, Bex was still suspicious about what was going on between Scott and Stiles and Beacon Hills she wanted to find out what was it. Bex saw another old friend as she waited for Danny to come out of the school." Isaac?" She said. He turned. It was Isaac Lahey. He was another old friend that but she didn't know had a crush on her.
" Bex?" He asked surprised to see her here. He remembered that she left Beacon Hills a few years ago and he hadn't seen her since.
" Hey." She said as she hugged him and he gave her a small nervous smile as she pulled away. He looked at her and realized she was just a pretty as she was before. "What happened to your eyes?" She asked him noticing his black eye. She touched it but he didn't jerk back he just shivered at her touch.
" It's nothing, got into a fight but I joined the lacrosse team." He said gesturing to his lacrosse stick.
" That's awesome. My cousin Danny is on the team too." She said as Danny made his way to the car. " I can't wait to see the game." She said smiling. He just smiled back and Danny honked his horn. Bex rolled her eyes at him. " Sorry, I have to go but I'll see you later?" She asked.
" Yeah, definitely." He said as she walked off to the car.
Danny and Bex after dinner went in their separate rooms and started their homework. Bex was worried though. She knew it was going to be freezing and she needed to find Lydia. She got up and left her room and homework.
" Where are you going?" Danny asked suspiciously as she passed his open door.
" I'm just going to walk around. You know, get reacquainted with Beacon Hills." Bex said smiling innocently. Danny nodded.
" Okay, do you want my car?" He offered.
" Nope! I'm good. Thanks, though. I'll be back soon." She said as she went downstairs and to the door before he could ask her anything else. She sighed as she forgot her jacket. She decided not to go back because she was wearing long sleeves and just in case he got suspicious.
She started walking down the block. She thought about where Lydia would go but she obviously wasn't in her right mind. So, she thought the warmest place to be would be in the woods so she started walking there. She walked all around the woods for an hour and it started to get dark and she was really cold.
She thought she heard something past her on the side but when she turned she didn't she anything. She turned around and there was someone in front of her. She gasped and took a step back surprised. It was Derek.
" Hasn't anyone ever told you that you shouldn't go out in the dark alone." Derek said giving her a smirk.
" They have but I'm not really good at following rules" Bex said stepping back from him nervous but not scared.
" Who are you?" He asked cocking his head to the side.
" Who are you?" She asked getting her confidence back even though she didn't know if he was a psycho killer or not.
He chuckled. " Derek Hale." He said shortly raising his eyebrows wondering if she knew him.
Bex knew who he was but she didn't show him that she did. " Bex, and I should really be going now." She said
" What an interesting name. Well, be careful, out here, Bex. There are things that could hurt you." He said as he disappeared walking backwards. She gasped as she saw his eyes glowing red as he stepped back into the darkness. . She knew that wasn't normal but something told her to not say anything and keep looking for Lydia.
She walked around so more looking for her friend. She stopped as she heard rustling to the right of her and walked slowly and pushed back a branch until she saw a person. It was Lydia. She looked the same since she last saw her, just older. She was completely naked and dirty with sticks in her hair and dazed and didn't really seem to know why she was walking around.
" Lydia." Bex said. She didn't look at her she just kept walking. " Lydia!" She yelled a little louder. That caught her attention.
" Who are you?" She asked looking around as though she was sleepwalking.
" It's me. It's Bex Ravenwood." She said as she walked closer to her. Lydia looked nervous. " It's okay. I'm not going to hurt you." She said as she took her hand and led her out of the woods. They got close to the street where they saw the Sheriff and Stiles around a crash site of the paramedics. She told Lydia to stay where she was to get something for her to where.
She walked towards them when Stiles and his dad finally seemed to see her. " Bex? What are you doing here?" Stiles asked. His father seemed confused.
" I found her." She said. But, before she could get anything else out Lydia stepped out and Stiles and his dad were focused on her.
" Lydia!" He yelled. She looked up at him.
" Well, isn't anyone going to get me a coat?" She said holding out her arms that were pressed to her chest. The sheriff looked uncomfortable and Stiles mouth was wide open as he tried to take his dad's jacket and give it to her but he just managed to fall on his face.
" Oh, Jesus. Yep, here you go." He said taking off his jacket to give to her. Bex sighed. Twenty-four hours back in Beacon Hills and she already found a missing friend. She gave herself a metaphorical pat on the back.
