I told you I don't remember" Scarlett mutters looking into the eyes of the officer in front of her.
"Please miss any information would be beneficial to your case" He demands as she notices Scott stand straighter at the officer's tone.
"I was shot and then I woke up that's it"
"You want me to believe that's it" He mutters and she glares at him.
"You can believe whatever you want officer but that's the truth"
The door opened revealing Sheriff stilinski storming into the room.
"Joe that's enough I'll take it from here" He informs the man as Stiles gives a smug smile to the officer now glaring at him.
"Yeah Joe time for you to go, bye now" Stiles almost laughs as Joe watches him the whole way out before slamming the door.
"Oh my god Scarlett" He says almost running the distance from the door to the bed. He engulfed her in a hug so tight she thought at least one organ was going to burst.
"Hi Sheriff"
"My god sweetie, we looked for you the best we could I promise" He mumbles pulling back and holding her face in his hands. As if any second he'd blink and she would be gone again.
"I know you did, I wouldn't expect anything less from you" She smiles as he just took her in for another hug.
"I'm so glad you're back, who found you?" he asks looking towards the two boys at the back of the room.
"As much as I wish it had been one of us dad, it wasn't" Stiles starts, Scott nodding along.
"Do you remember anything Scar?" Sheriff Stilinski asks letting her go and taking the closest chair to her bed.
"I woke up in the forest, it was dark and raining… I was alone at first I don't know how long for but I must've blacked out cause when I opened my eyes again I was being carried by someone"
"What did they look like?" Scott asks as she looks up at the ceiling.
"You're going to think I'm crazy" She mutters as she felt the bed dip with Scott sitting at the end.
"What did you see Scar" He asks his face solemn as he stared at her. She could feel his eyes burning into her while the two Stilinski men watched the exchange.
"He carried me through the forest and he told me I was okay I never actually saw his face fully but-" she stopped and looked at Scott his face still the same expression as she let out a deep breath her hands now starting to shake again.
"His eyes were red"
"Red?" Sheriff Stilinski questions
"Red" She repeats to him as she sighs noticing how ridiculous she sounds.
"Listen forget I even said anything I must've been dreaming or something"
"No" Stiles says very sternly as the whole room turns to him standing at the end of the bed.
"If you say he had red eyes he did, you could tell me he had three heads and wings and I'd believe you… listen Scar someone brought you here red eyes or not someone did bring you and that person has to know more about what happened"
"I don't think they do stiles" She mumbles
"What?" he asks
"I don't know if you're expecting this person to be the one who took me one shot me or whatever but I didn't get a sense of fear around him, I felt safe"
"He has to know something" Scott now says phone in hand, seemingly texting someone.
"Okay we find him and question him" Sheriff stilinski says as Scarlett just nods her head.
"Is me being back not enough can't we let it go?" She asks getting looks from all three in the room.
"You were shot and disappeared for three months that's not something to be taken lightly I won't rest until we find who did this to you, I'm not letting anything happen to you again" Sheriff stilinski tells her, taking her hand helping calm her shakes.
"The three of us will make nothing ever happens to you again" Stiles quips almost making a silent promise between the men in the room.
"It has to be him"
"I mean did he know about her being missing?" Stiles asks as Scarlett kept her eyes closed listening to the two boys go back and forth.
"Who in this town didn't know" Scott asks as she heard Stiles sigh.
"But I did ask him to keep an eye out, he had strong senses I thought if anyone was going to catch a scent it would be him" Scott mumbles
"Fair enough"
She took a couple of deep breaths moving her arms slightly and opening her eyes to find the two of them on the same chairs as last night.
"Do you two ever plan on going home?" She questions yawning as they both flashed her a smile.
"Only when you do" Scott replies as Stiles was searching through her file from the end of her bed just as the door opened.
"You know that's confidential, right?" Melissa McCall asks as Stiles fumbles to put it down, instead sliding off the chair.
"I did try to tell him" Scott laughs as Stiles holds the chart up for her.
"How's the daughter I never had?" Melissa asks as Scarlett smiles at her and tears up at the sight of the nurse in front of her. Melissa gave her a hug, and similar to the Sheriff held her face for a few seconds.
"Good now I've seen both my adopted parents"
"Speaking of the sheriff, wasn't he here earlier?" Melissa asks flicking through the chart as Stiles sat back in his chair.
"He went back to start paper work and to give Joe a stern talking to" Stiles replies as his phone buzzes in his pocket. Melissa took a paper cup b of water to Scarlett along with medication for pain. She gladly took it to battle the aches and pains shooting across her body every so often which made her fearful to she herself in the mirror.
"It's Lydia" Stiles says as Scarlett chokes in the drink eyes going wide.
"Lydia? As in Lydia Martin?" she asks loudly as Scott and Melissa laughs at her reaction. Her eyes focused on Stiles waiting for him to let her in on the joke.
"Yes Lydia Martin" Stiles says matter of factly a smug look on his face.
"The same Lydia you've fangled over since you were in like what fifth grade?"
"I did not fangirl over her" Stiles snorts rolling his eyes.
"Yeah as if your wouldn't of been a male cheerleader for her if you were given the chance" She mutters as Scott chuckles at the two.
"How're you feeling?" Melissa asks finishing through her notes.
"My head hurts from the MRI scan the lights were a bit too bright for my liking"
"I know, but they want to try figure out why exactly you have no memory so they're trying to rule out a brain injury" Melissa informs the room, as Scarlett let out a breath she didn't even know she was holding in.
"Okay unfortunately I have other patients and I think it's time you tell update Scarlett on your lives… starting with you making front line Scott" Melissa points to the two boys
"You made first line?" She asks in shock as Melissa smiles at the three. Happy to see them back together
"Captain actu-" Stiles says
"Co-Captain" Scott interrupts Stiles as she hears Melissa close the door leaving the three of them alone again.
"And a girlfriend"
"Wait what? You waited this long to tell me this information?" She nearly yells at the boy's in front of her.
"Spill everything about her now"
"Her names Alison, She's beautiful Scar and smart but were kind of going through a rough patch now…"
Scarlett raised her eyebrow at this. He didn't say it in a sad tone so he didn't do anything to upset her. He spoke highly of her so it was approval they didn't have.
"It's her dad isn't it?" She asks as he smirked at her answer.
"How did you know?" He asks
"It's always the dad who has the problem"
"Remember when my dad thought you were dating Greg from science class?" Stiles asks as she shook her head at the memory
"Oh god don't remind me he hounded the poor guy for being seen with me on our first date and even brought him down to the station for questioning" She rolls her eyes as the room was now laughing.
"Poor Greg I wonder was that why he asked to be transferred into another science class" Stiles gets out between laughs before they all settled.
"I'm gone three months and suddenly Beacon Hills gets a lot more exciting"
"It's going to be even more exciting with you back" Scott informs her sending a smile her way as Stiles simply nods his head along at his two best friends.
She could smell blood and dirt. She was panting hard and tried her hardest to make it through the dark forest without falling over.
"Scarlett" She heard a voice boom through the forest.
"Come on now, I thought we were having fun"
She pushed harder trying to figure out if anywhere looked familiar to send her in the right direction. Back to her home.
But every branch looked the same and she had been running for so long now. Much longer than she ever had before and her adrenaline was the only thing keeping her from stopping.
She eventually ran into a tree stump, tumbling into it and down a small hill landing on her back. Pain ran through her body so severe she couldn't even make a sound.
"I'm not finished with you" The voice looms ever closer as she hears leaves crunch under footsteps.
The face hoovered over her smiling down at her. In the dark she could only see shapes of a face lit up by the moon.
"Come on now we're only getting started" and then suddenly the voices face changed. Eyes glowing and sharp teeth over taking its mouth.
She woke up screaming
