"Scarlett... come on Scarlett I need you to wake up" Stiles was crouched over the unconicous girl in the elevator along with Derek. Stiles lightly tapped her face started shaking her
"Letty.. baby please wake up" he shook her again finally she opened her eyes shot up gasped for air
"oh thank god" Stiles said enfligging her into him holding her tight
"you okay?" she asked
"I wasn't the one on the ground lifeless I should be asking you" she smiled then looked over at Derek
"crap... where's Jennifer" she asked Stiles bit down on his lip as soon as he did Scarlett knew something happened
"I'll explain, first we need to wake Derek" Stiles said he shook Derek a little harder each time yelling his name when that didn't work he began slapping him in the face the first few times, Stiles took a deep breath closing his fist this time right before it came into contact Derek jolted up grabbing his fist
"oh thank god" Scarlett said
"where is she?" Derek asked
"who Jennifer?, gone with Scarlett and Scott's mom" Stiles said
Scarlett's eyes went wide with panic building in her chest, she felt the room begin to spin "sh- she took my mom"
"yeah if that's not enough of a kick to the balls, Scott left with Deucalion so we gotta you, Derek out of here before the police show up so we need to get you the hell out of here" Stiles said to Derek with panic in his vioce
"my brother wouldn't do that" Scarlett said balling up her fist
"you didn't see his face, he said he had to" Stiles said to her as he watch the tears form in her eyes Stiles help her up, Derek looked over at them
"what about Cora" Derek asked
"with Isaac and Peter" he said
At this moment Scarlett was standing in the middle of the loft looking at a very weak Cora, she would of stayed with Stiles who was holding off the cops at the hospital but he told her to leave with Isaac, he didn't know how much trouble he'd get into and didn't want to drag her through that mess so as requested Scarlett left and was now pacing the loft thinking about the events that occurred, her brother and mother were gone she began to wonder if she'll ever see either of them again. they are her whole life besides Stiles she couldn't loose them, Scarlett was brought out of her thoughts when she heard Isaac speak up.
"she's dying isn't she?" he asked Derek who was at Cora's beside
"I don't know" Derek said Scarlett looked over at them slowly walked over to the other side of Cora
"so what are we going to do?" Isaac asked
"I don't know" Derek said
"want to try because while Scott, Stiles, and Scarlett were out there trying to help people from being killed, you were in here rolling around in the sheets with the actual killer" Isaac said his voice cracked a little
"Isaac!" Scarlett hissed normally she be all for what Isaac said but they needed to stay together at least what was left of them.
"do you get how many people she's killed? Erica and Boyd are dead, Cora is dying and you are doing nothing!... why'd you do this to us Derek? was is power? were you bored? lonely?" Isaac asked him
"maybe" Derek said most sympathic look on his face Scarlett never saw this side of Derek before hell no one did because of the wall he puts up but at that moment Scarlett's heart pained for him. Isaac got up began to walk away.
"I told Cora I wouldn't leave when I find a way to save her I'll help" Derek said not taking his eyes off his little sister
"there's no time" Isaac yelled making Scarlett flinch "the full moon's coming Melissa and the sheriff are going to be dead, I'm going to help you can sit here and perfect the art of doing nothing, Letty lets go" Isaac said walking out the room. Scarlett reached out for Derek's hand making him look at her
"I don't blame you... this is your sister, I know Scott would do the same and I do the same for my brother and I'm pretty sure If the rolls were reversed and you were the one lying here Cora would too cause your family... right now I have to go save mine" Scarlett said Derek giving her the same look he gave Isaac before she stood up walked out to her car with Isaac.
once they got in the car she let out a breath she didn't really know she was holding in before starting her car, Isaac looked over at the girl
"hey were going to find your mom and get Scott back" he told her
"thanks Isaac... for helping... caring" she said
"well you, Scott and Melissa the only people I have left who are close to me" he said
"hey... your family Lahey, we're not going anywhere alright" she said they both let out a small laugh before driving down the road to the argents apartment. by the time they reached the apartment day light was breaking.
"well it's official I've been up for 24 hours with only one cup of coffee" she said as her and Isaac reached the elevator
"you might wanna channel all your anger into killing Jennifer" Isaac said
"noted" she said as they reached the apartment Scarlett opened the door Isaac stepped forward first into the argant's study where they had all their weapons laid out
"I can't shoot a gun or use a crossbow but I'm getting pretty good with these" Isaac said extending his claws
"my use of a crossbow can use a little more work but practice makes perfect right" Scarlett said stepping out of Isaac's shadow
Scarlett walked out of the bathroom at the Stilinski house dressed in leggings, tall pair of boots with a tied up red plaid shirt throwing her hair into a fishtail braid. she looked over to see Stiles already changed in burgundy pants, grey striped shirt and a grey jacket sitting on the edge of his bed looking down at his fingers not even looking up when she walked in. Scarlett walked over sat next to him taking his hand intertwining their fingers he just looked at their hands
"Stiles" she said but he didn't say anything back, a couple minutes passed he finally spoke
"I can't loose them both... Scarlett I can't loose both my parents I... don't know what I'd do if I loose him" Stiles said tears down his face Scarlett swung her legs over his lap her arms around his shoulders now bringing him closer to her Stiles wrapped his arms around her waist his head in thr crock of her neck Scarlett felt the tears fall from Stiles against her neck she squeezed him tighter
"he can't die too... Scarlett I already miss her too much" hearing that Scarlett lost it tears strolling down her face now too, Stiles didn't deserve to loose either parent. Scarlett still remembers the day Stiles' mother died, the boys were eleven she was ten, they've known Stiles for years now knowing his mom was sick in and out of the hospital. this day the McCall siblings rode their bike up to the hospital to say hi to their mom when they saw Stiles, he was in the hallway knees to his chest head in his hands. Scarlett was the first to run over to him dropping to his knees beside him Stiles looked at her eyes blood shot red almost immediately rapping his arms around her Scarlett hugged him back both stained faces faces Scott walked over sitting on the other side of Stiles he hugged them both all three in a group hug on the floor as the sheriff walked in seeing the scene in front of him he knew that his wife had passed away and Stiles was there with her. Scarlett snapped out of her memories cupping Stiles face so he'd look at her
"we're going to find your dad... and my mom" she said
"what if... what if Cora's right what if all we do is show up late and find the bodies" Stiles said
"hey! she's not okay and we're going to find them have hope... do you trust me?" she asked
"of course I do" he said scarlett leaned in pressing her lips to his for a sweet passionate kiss when she opened her eyes she saw those honey brown eyes looking back at her, Stiles sniffled wipping his tears then he wiped Scarlett's tears away chuckling a little
"what?" she asked him
"nothing... something I remember it was a couple days before my mom passed I was hanging out with her she was talking about you and Scott. She asked if I had a crush on you I looked over at her said mom your nuts that's Letty, she told me just watch one day you and her will be together youlove each other of course I responded with keep dreaming mom. now I see she was right all along" Stiles said
"mothers know best... she was a smart beautiful woman Stiles and she'd be proud of you and happy for us" Scarlett said
they sat their in silence for a moment foreheads pressed together Scarlett wipped the tears that happened to escape from Stiles as he told his story as Stiles did the same to her wipping them away with his thumb
"how are you so strong right now" he asked
"midly strong" she corrected " I guess cause I know I still have you here beside me"
"always not going anywhere, love you" he said
"love you too" she pulled him into a tight hug
"I don't believe it" Lydia said looking at Scarlett and Stiles standing around in the empty classroom
"according to Stiles here it's true" Scarlett said pointing at him
"Scott can't really be with them, he can't" Lydia said
"you guys didn't see the look on his face, though it was" Stiles said hanging his head
"then what can I do? I get I'm some like human gieger counter for death but like Letty over here I don't know how to turn it off and on all I know is that she tried to kill me, well both of us because..." Lydia paused
"because of what? hey Lydia what?" Stiles asked
"when she talked to Letty she already knew what she was but when she called me a banshee she was surprised by it but what if... what we are isn't why she tried to kill us" Lydia said
"then why did she?" Scarlett asked
"that's what we need to find out" Lydia said heading toward the door they walked down the hall trying to come up with answers
"Aiden isn't texting me back" Lydia said walking down the steps
" I don't think he's gonna, he couldn't find it at the recital" Scarlett told her they stopped in the middle of the hallway looking at each other
"okay, well maybe we could just..." Lydia was cut off by Scarlett's phone going off she pulled out her cell seeing a text from Isaac her face drained color a little about to tear up from the meassage
"what?" Stiles asked she ignored him
"oh god what now" Lydia asked
"its from Isaac, Jennifer she took Alison's farther" Scarlett said taking a deep breath and letting herself calm down
"she's got all three now then" Stiles said as his hands began to shake
"there's still time we still have time, right" Lydia asked
"if we do it'snot much, we have to find something to.." Scarlett stopped herself looking over at Stiles who's breathing heavy next to her his face flushed of the color it did have he was looking around for a second she thought he was going to collaspe
"Stiles?"
"Stiles what is it? what's happening"
"Stiles say something" the girls trying to get his attention
"I-I, I think I'm h-having a p-panic attack" he managed to say between breaths
"we need to get him out of the hall" Scarlett said throwing one of Stiles arms over her shoulder for support Lydia came over to the other side
"where?" Lydia asked
"locker room no one's there this period"
the three walked in the locker room Lydia went to close the door while Scarlett brought Stiles further in the room dropping their bags on the floor, Stiles fell to the floor Scarlett came and kneeled in front of him Lydia standing behind her
"try to think of something else anything" Scarlett told him
"l-like what" Stiles said between breathes holding a hand to his chest
"ugh, us.. me and you try thinking about me" Scarlett spat out the first thing that came to mind
"good things friends, family..." Lydia said
Scarlett turned to her "really? family?"
"maybe not that.. I'm going to go keep watch you help him" Lydia said going back to the door
"try to slow down your breathing" she said
"I can't.. I can't" he said still a hand tightly to his chest breathing even heavier if it was possible, Scarlett cupped his face in her hands
"Stiles look at me your going to be okay, okay" she said leaning forward she smashed her lips to his after a couple of minutes Scarlett felt Stiles relax she pulled opening her eyes looking back into those honey brown eyes away hands still cupped his face wiping away a tear that strolled down his face with her thumb
"how did you do that?" he asked
"I remember when you had panic attacks when we were kids after your mom dies... I looked up ways to stop panic attacks incase one day my mom or your dad weren't there to help when you had one if it was just Scott and I ... I read in one that holding your breath can stop a panic attack so when I kissed you held your breath" Scarlett said looking down at the ground till his fingers made it's way under her chin making her look at him
"thanks" he said
"always be there for you, right?" she said laughing a little
"your pretty smart you know that" he said smiling at her
"I've been told, if I was really smart as people say I am I'd tell you to sign up for a few sessions with the guidance counsler it might help buddy" she said patting his leg
"wait.. Morrell" Stiles said getting up off the floor helping her to her feet they picked up their bags walked toward Lydia
"he okay?" Lydia asked
"yeah but know we have to go to Morrell's office she might know something" Scarlett said the three ran down the hall to her office seeing a girl already sitting there waiting
"are you here for Ms. Morrell" Stiles asked the girl
"no I thought this was gym clas" the girl said
"you don't want to go down the sarcasim road sweetie you won't come out on top on that one" Scarlett said Stiles grabbed her hand
"do you know where she is" Lydia asked
"If I did, I wouldn't be waiting here for twenty minutes, so how about your three back out that door and wait your turn" the girl said
"as much as we three might need a little guidance were not here for a session" Scarlett said
"well I am, I've got a lot of issues to work on" she said
"is one your attitude" Scarlett said in a chipper tone
"hey wait your Danielle, heathers best friend" Stiles said
"and your the boy she kissed with the girlfriend" Danielle said
"little less attitude" Scarlett said
"I was her best friend that's issue we've been working on" Danielle said
"did you say she was late?" Lydia asked
"and I don't know why she's always on time" Danielle said
"she's right I had to see her after I was shot for the whole post tramtic stress crap, she was never late" Scarlett said
"I was seeing here last semester too she was always prompt" Lydia said
"then she's not late she's missing" Stiles said
"what if were not the only ones who thinks she knew something?" Lydia asked
"then I wanna know what she knows" Stiles said dropping Scarlett's hand walking toward Morrell's desk going through it
"what are you doing?" Danielle asked
"trying to find her" Stiles said
"those are private" Danielle said
"she's got a point" Lydia said
"this is a step down for him usually it's police files he's looking through" Scarlett said
"this one's yours" Stiles said holding out a file to Lydia
"find me" Scarlett said a little too eager Stiles handed it to her she opened it flipping through writtings and drawings
"wait letty that's your drawing" Stiles said
"it's a tree, I draw trees amoung other things " she said
"yeah it's good too" Danielle said
"thanks"
"no letty it's the same tree, the same one I see you draw in class" Stiles said
"I draw all the time Stiles you know this"
"just listen for a sec okay, don't you see it's the same exact one each time look" Stiles said running through each drawing Scarlett looked confused
"okay you guys can have my session clearly got bigger issues" Danielle said leaving the room
"I'm officially freaked out by my own self" Scarlett said
"what's is this" Lydia said as Stiles turned one of the drawings upside down
"I know where they are" he said grabbing Scarlett's hand pushing Lydia out the room first
"are you going to tell-" Stiles cut his girlfriend off
"it's the nemebton, that's where she's keeping them it has to be" he told them walking down the hall till someone yelled out Stiles name Scarlett came to a complete stop gripping Stiles hand tightly as she stared at the man walking toward them Stiles turned toward Lydia
"ugh.. crap.. alright go to derek, okay he and peter they've been there before so they'll know where it is tell them it's the root celler all right they'll know" Stiles said to Lydia she walked away Scarlett then looked at Stiles
"what is he doing here?" she asked
"he was at the hospital last night too" Stiles said Scarlett's eyes widened she smacked him in the arm with her free hand
"your just telling me now as he's walking toward us" she said
"when was I suppose to tell you, fit in to the mahem we have going on by the way your farther is in town"
"well I espect you-" she was cut off by her farther
"Stilinski"
both teens turned around facing her farther, Scarlett felt anger bloiling up looking at him. all she wanted to do right now was punch him in the face she knew that wasn't going to slove anything she just gripped Stiles hand tighter
"Scarlett, you look just like your mother" he said smirking at her
"what are you doing here? I highly doubt it's for a family chat" he ignored her turning toward Stiles
"did you know your dad's car is in the school parking lot and has been since last night?" he asked Stiles
"no what does that mean?" Stiles lied
"means he's officially missing" McCall said looking back at his daughter then at Stiles
"can we talk in private" he said
"anything you want to talk about you can in front of your daughter, my girlfriend" Stiles said McCall's eyes widened a bit
"you and my daughter.. your dating the sheriff's son" he pointed at the two
"you would know more if you stuck around" she said
"maybe if you'd answer my letters" he said back to her
"your letters you just began sending, those tiny pieces of papers don't make up for the years you've been absent, your not even here to us, your here on a case if they didn't send you I highly doubt I'd be seeing your face" Scarlett said
"how about we move this into a classroom to talk privately" McCall said
"you can speak to Stiles about whatever you want but our convo. stops here" she said they walked into a empty classroom Stiles sat on a desk Scarlett stood next to him, Stiles wrapped and arm around her waist she put her hand on his back as her farther stood in front of them
"Stiles why am I getting the feeling you know something that could help us find your dad?" McCall asked
"don't you think Stiles would have told you already see his dad didn't leave like others" she said
"not now scar" McCall said
"you don't have any right to call me Scar only mom and Scott call me that"
"if I did know why would I not tell you" Stiles said breaking the tension in the room
"if it meant helping your dad why wouldn't you?" McCall asked
"so your asking me to tell you what I would not tell you" Stiles said
"first, I have no idea what you just said, second how about you just help me help you" McCall said
"well I don't know how to help you help me tell you something that would help you if I don't know it" Stiles said Scarlett bit back her laughter
"are you doing this on purpose?" McCall asked
"he doesn't know, I don't know we don't know anything can we just go" Scarlett said
"where are your friends?" McCall asked
"you mean Scott" Stiles said
"that is none of your business where my brother is"
"I mean Scott, Isaac lahey, Alison argent these twins ethan and aiden I've been told you guy's whole little clique didn't show up for school today" McCall said to them
"don't have a clique" Stiles said looking down
"it's not 2001 no one really has cliques if w did the twins are not in it" Scarlett said
"but they have been spotted with you guys" her farther pointed out
"great mouse detective work, did you do it yourself.. wait you couldn't of because your never here" Scarlett said
"enough with the sass young lady, now come on there's been a pretty disturbing amount of violent activety in this county in the last few months, several murders tied to this school, I don't know what's going on here but it's serious... hey Stiles your dad is missing" he said looking at the boy, Scarlett rubbed his back as he looked down at his hands both of them stayed quite as McCall stood up straight
"but I don't want you going home alone, your not going with my daughter, is there someone you can stay with" McCall asked
"he's with me" Deaton appeared at the doorway they all looked over
"glad to have this chat but we have to go" Stiles said hopping off the desk
"Scarlett wait, it's not safe out there I haven't seen your brother or your mother I want you to stay with me"
"it hasn't been safe here for awhile okay while you've been absent I've had things happen to me but you know what I survive them without you, I've gone this long without your safety I think I can go longer" she said walking toward Deaton and Stiles
"she'll be safe" Deaton said to her father before walking away leaving McCall in the classroom alone.
Lydia, Stiles, Scarlett, Isaac and Alison were now at the animal clinic trying to find the nembeton since Peter and Derek couldn't because Derek's mother took that memory from them so now they had to find it on there own.
"it has to be on a telluric current, or maybe even at the axis of two or where they all intersect, I just know its where derek to paige to die" Stiles said
"my dad and Gerad were there once but Gerad said it was years ago he couldn't remember where it is and my dad is obviously not her to tell us" Alison said
"yeah neither is mine" Stiles said
"i might know a way it's dangerous" Deaton said
Scarlett, Deaton and Stiles were in Beacon hills preserve leaning up on the jeep waiting for Scott. as soon as he arrived Scarlett leaped off the jeep into Scott's arms hugging him as tight as she could
"if you ever take off with super villians ever again I'll chop off your man hood and feed it to the coyotes you got that" she said still holding him tightly
"I missed you too" Scott said
"for a second I wasn't sure if I'd see you again, I just couldn't tell Stiles he's already on edge"
"that wouldn't happen I wouldn't leave you like that" Scott said squeezing her back she let go walked back over to Stiles
"how did you guys find out?" Scott asked
"Letty, you?" Stiles asked
"Morrell, none of the aplhas know where it is either" Scott said
"so if this works, are you going to tell them?" Scarlett asked
"I can't stop Jennifer without them" Scott said
"how about we concentrate on finding your parents first" Deaton said
"what's the plan?" Scott asked
"essentially you, Alison and Stiles need to be surrogate sacrifices for your parents" Deaton told them
"we die for them?" Scott asked
"but he can bring us back... you can... you can bring us back right?" Stiles asked
"you remember the part where I said it was dangerous, if it goes right the three of you will be dead for a few seconds but there's something else you need to think about, it's dangerous for other reasons as well, you'll be giving power back to the nembeton a place that hasn't had power for a long time this kind of power is like a magnet it attracts the supernatural, the kind of things a family like the Argents can fill the beastiary with, it will draw them here." Deaton explained
"like a beacon" Scarlett said
"it doesn't sound any worse than anything we've already seen" Stiles said
"you'd be surprised at what you have yet to see" Deaton said
"is that it" Scott asked
"no it will also have an effect on the three of you, you won't see it but you'd be able to feel it everyday for the rest of your lives it will be kind of darkness around your heart and permanent like a scar" Deaton said
"like a tattoo" Scott said
"Okay, Scott you can't do this, it has to be me" Scarlett said
"wait, what?" Stiles said confused
"no if I could do this without Stiles and Alison they wouldn't be doing this either, here I have a choice and it's to keep you safe I'll find mom I swear Scar" Scott said
"if this doesn't work who's going to help, who's left with the alphas and Jennifer you have to stay your the werewolf your stronger, better we need you alive" Scarlett said
"I'll come back, it will be okay. your strong too I know you can handle yourself but I'm doing this part... at least let me protect you" Scott said pulling her into a hug if Deaton was right about the effects from this Scott didn't want his sister to have to deal with darkness everyday for the rest of her life, he wanted her to have a normal life as normal as she could.
"you better come back or I'm knocking down your wall turning your room into my own art section" she said they both chuckled
"I will little sis"
back at the clinic Lydia, Scarlett and Isaac filled three tubs with water, ice and mistletoe
"okay what did you bring?" Deaton asked Scott Alison and Stiles
"um.. I got my dad's badge Jennifer kind of crushed it in her hand so I tried hammering it out a bit.. still doesn't look great" Stiles said
"it's doesn't have to look good if it has meaning" Deaton told him
"is that an actual silver bullet" Isaac asked Alison
"yeah my dad made it as kind of ceremonial thing when one of us finishes all the skills to be a hunter we forge a silver bullet as a testament to the code" Alison explained
"cool" Scarlett said they all looked over at the girl Scarlett just shrugged her shoulders
"Scott what about you?" Deaton asked
"my dad got my mom this watch when she first got hired at the hospital she said it was the only thing in her marriage that work" Scott said
"Scott... there's something you need to know...he's back" she said not really looking at her brother
"who?" Scott asked
"dad, he's back in town Stiles and I ran into him.. well he ran into us interagetting us more like it anyway I'm sorry I didn't say it sooner I just-" Scott cut her off grabbed her hand
"it's okay" he told her
"okay the three of you will get in each will hold you down until your essentially dead but it's not just someone to hold you down it's someone who will bring you back someone that has a strong connection to you kind of emiontal tether" Deaton said
Scarlett thought it only made sense that it was her brother they are siblings after all, she walked closer to Scott
"Scarlett you go with Stiles" Deaton said she looked over at Stiles then at her brother
"it's fine" Scott said to her she gave him a quick hug then went over to Stiles he looked down at the girl with a weak smile on his face
"it's gonna be okay" Stiles spoke up she looked at the ground Stiles took off his jacket throwing it over Scarlett's shoulders wrapping it arouond her tiny frame he pulled her closer into his body wrapping his arms around her, Scarlett managed to pull her arms through the sleeves of his jacket snaking her arms around Stiles he place a kiss on her temple
"come back to me" she muffled into his chest
"always not going to leave you" he said pulling away a little cupping her face in his hands leaning down to press his lips to hers passionately kissing her to Scarlett this one felt different it was like he was saying goodbye but she had hope they were coming back it was more like she felt Stiles' doubt but she shook it off finally pulling away from him opening her eyes to look at his
"I love you" she said
"love you more" he said
"don't think that's possible"
they walked over to the tubs Scarlett watched as they stripped down to one layer of clothing then stepping into the tubs. Scarlett, Lydia and Deaton stepped up behind the tubs. Scarlett rolled up the selves on Stiles jacket putting her hands on his shoulders taking a huge breath before pushing him down into the water she wach as Stiles went under looked over to Deaton in shock all three were essinatally dead now.
Closer to 3B sorry for the errors I'm a terrible speller
