Here is the long awaited Chapter 6 of Miss Hale

**Endlessly- Green River Ordinance

***DLZ- Tv On The Radio

Stiles POV

** It was days after Ricky's last "visit". Talia and Deucalion were trying to get as much support as they could from old nearby allies. Many of them turned it down as soon as they found out they would be working alongside hunters.

Many alphas feared for the safety of their packs. They feared that as soon as the beast at hand was silenced, the hunters would turn on them. Many alphas couldn't believe that Chris and Allison had created their own code and abandoned their gruesome old ways.

Everyone in the packs were on edge, so it was Stiles who needed to keep Selena calm, or at least relatively calm. The last thing they needed was her going off the deep end, and Ricky taking that as his chance to possibly make the final blow.

"A movie night?" Selena's lips tugged at the familiarity of it all, before a wave of nostalgia hit her.

"Yep, and you pick the movies." Stiles had his arm wrapped tightly around her waist, and gave her a reassuring squeeze. Selena smiled and walked to the movie cabinet that mostly consisted of Batman movies, along with Star Wars and John Belushi movies, courtesy of Selena.

"Here." She says and put The Blues Brothers in the DVD player, before laying on the couch, her head resting on Stiles' chest, seeing as he was sandwiched between his girlfriend and the couch.

"I guess this is a one time thing." She let out in a sigh and closed her eyes. Stiles looked down at the broken girl that he's protected since they were kids, his blood boiling as he really paid attention to the physical difference in Selena since Ricky blew into town.

Her forehead had worry lines that seemed to be permanently there, her eyebrows were knitted together, and like her worry lines, it looked like it was staying a while. The sparkle in her eyes, similar to one of a child, were completely washed away, as if the tide swept it away. Tear stains seemed to be painted on her tanned skin. She looked like how she did when Scott cheating on her took it's toll, and Stiles absolutely hated seeing her like this.

"What do you mean?" He asked and twirled a loose curl in his long skinny fingers.

"How long before Ricky decides he wants some more fun. Stiles, I don't know how long I can hold on." She sat up and Stiles pulled her onto a hug, the movie completely forgotten, and it's not like he didn't know the movie by heart already.

Selena had been kind of sketchy since Jennifer, frequent mood swings. That toll was nothing compared to both the emotional and physical toll Ricky brought with him.

"Shh. I'm here. I'm not going anywhere baby." Selena relaxed a little and inhaled his scent, calming her even further.

"Batman, I'm scared." She whimpered and snuggled even closer to her boyfriend, who kissed her curls and rubbed soothing circles on her back.

"He won't hurt you. I'll protect you Cece." They both knew damn well that Stiles wouldn't stand a chance, but just the thought put her at ease.

After about an hour passed when Stiles phone buzzed in his pocket.

"Stiles, get that damn phone, or I'll crush it." Selena mumbled, her eyes shut as she tossed over. Stiles grabbed the phone from his red sweater. It was a text from his dad, saying he won't be home until late.

"What was it?" Selena asked, resting her her head on one of her hands, her eyes still shut.

"Just my dad. He won't be back until late." Stiles says and lays his head against the back of the couch, his mom's old blanket tickling his neck. He could feel Selena smile and snuggle into him, curling her body in a fetal position.

"You're warm." She says sleepily and Stiles sat up, earning an irritated noise from deep in Selena's throat, before he grabbed his mom's blanket and draped it over his girlfriend. Once she was covered, his eyes shut and he was out.

Dream

Stiles watched as Selena rested her head on his chest at the dance, a wide smile stretching across his lips.

"Stiles, she's losing her mind slowly." A voice that instantly calmed him down filled his ears and he spun around on his heels. His mom was looking at her son slow dancing with his now girlfriend.

"Mom?" His voice cracked at the sight of his mother.

"It's me honey. Stiles, you can't protect her alone, and you know that. I know someone that can help, but you need to stay open. You need to let them take care of everything." Claudia's dark brown waves came just past her shoulders. She gave her son a sad smile and he hugged her tightly, tears threatening to spill over his eyes.

"What do you mean she's losing her mind?" Stiles asked, swallowing the lump in his throat at the thought of Selena being completely nuts.

"Honey, she's been losing her sanity since the Kanima. Stiles, let me ask you something." Claudia put a hand on his shoulder and he took a big breath while he watched Selen twirl and laugh in her heels and red dress, her corsage resting proudly on her wrist, just like her smile was glued to her lips. He looked back at his mom. She looked just like he remembered, before she went downhill. Her brown eyes were caring and it made him want to cry, when a wave of nostalgia hit him like a tidal wave.

"Do you want to protect that beautiful smiling girl in the red dress?" She asked and Stiles nodded, not trusting his voice while he glanced back at his beautiful girlfriend. The pair had been to Hell and back. Of course he would do anything for her.

"Keep your mind open honey. I promise you'll be able to keep her safe." Claudia kissed his cheek, and gave him a smile.

"Honey, you couldn't have picked a better girlfriend. Remember, keep your mind open,"

Selena POV

The sound of the door opening woke up the teenager, whose body was still entwined with her boyfriend's on the couch. He started to whine and Selena put a hand on his forearm, the feeling of pain and anxiety shot up her arm like a bolt of lightning.

"Batman, hun. Wake up." She shook him, his eyes still shut. She glanced behind her to see John walk upstairs, then she turned her attention to her now sweating boyfriend. She leaned up so that she could place a light kiss to her boyfriend's soft lips. She heard his heartbeat flutter a little, before his heartbeat went back to normal.

"You sure know how to wake a guy up." He laughed and she smiled and laid her head on his chest.

"I thought you would've woke me up by barking at me." He kissed her now wild curls. She gave him a mock hurt expression, a playful smile playing on her lips, as she sat up, unaware she was straddling her boyfriend.

"Really? A dog joke, bat boy." She playfully crossed her arms across her chest, her lips sticking out in a slight pout.

"And if I did?" He challenged back, sitting up, so that his weight was supported by his elbows. Selena tried to mask her evil smile, while she leaned down, to plant a kiss to Stiles' lips. He ran his tongue across her bottom lip, and as soon as that happened, she broke away and jumped up quick, walking to the kitchen, making sure her hips swayed while she walked.

"Tease." She heard Stiles grumble when she was in the kitchen.

"Heard that Stilinski!" She called out in a giggle.

"Meant for you to hear it Hale!" Stiles called and Selena snatched up the bag of Snickers, and a couple cans of Cherry Dr. Pepper, then walked back into the living room. She sat the stuff on the coffee table, sitting on the opposite side of the couch, pulling her legs to her chest and tried to keep a straight face while she turned on the TV, starting the movie that had been abandoned a while ago.

"Are you still mad about the dog joke Cece?" he asked, playing along. She gave him a look before leaning back into the couch.

"Maybe." She crossed her arms across her chest, a playful smile on her lips. He moved to her side and wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her into him. Selena kept her eyes on the TV, feeling a blush creep over her neck and cheeks.

Ricky POV

A smirk rose upon his lips as he watched the two teens. He had to give it to the packs in Beacon Hills. They were putting up a decent fight. Too bad that Ricky isn't going to leave without getting what he wants. What he's wanted, and has gotten, for centuries. The only difference being is that Selena is stronger than the women he had previously sought after. Selena would be no exception.

He hasn't had this much fun in a long time, so why give up now?

He focused on Stiles' mind. A shit eating grin rose over his lips when he closed his eyes and behind his eyelids, straight from Stiles' mind, he saw Stiles kissing Lydia, with Selena nowhere in sight.

"I guess there's trouble in paradise." Ricky let out a throaty laugh and vanished back to his apartment.

"Time to have some fun." He smirked and a part of his mind paid attention to Selena.

"Selena deserves to know the truth about her Prince Charming." Ricky smiled like a Chesire cat.

Selena POV

Cece's eyes finally drooped while her boyfriend was rubbing circles into her back when they were watching Spongebob. Once the darkness around her finally got a tight hold on her, she wished she could wake up. As much as Selena hated to publicly admit that Ricky scared the hell out of her, everytime she saw him, she'd want to run away as fast as her legs would take her.

"Hello darling." Ricky approached her, leaning on a tree, and as her eyes focused outward, a lump formed in her throat. They were at the old Hale house, on the side of the house. Selena looked down and a hand instinctively covered her mouth as silent sobs shook through her.

The flowers she laid at Laura's grave were right next to her foot. She tried to take deep breaths, to calm herself, but it was only making her self control slip through her fingertips like water.

"What do you want?" Selena looked up from the makeshift grave, tears brimming her eyes, making her vision blurry.

"Selena, I was curious. That pathetic boyfri-" Ricky started, leaning on the tree, his chin resting his hands, making him look childlike.

"Don't you dare try to put titles on people in my life. Especially Stiles." The teen growled and the wind around them blew viciously, whipping Selena's long ebony locks around her reddened face.

"Do you really think your boyfriend is a saint, like you think he is?" Ricky asked, his voice was teasing, making Selena that much angrier.

"Yes! For the record, whatever mindgames you're trying to use, it won't work." Her voice boomed and the previous wind was now accompanied by a clap of thunder. Ricky's lips turned up in a crooked smile, mirroring the one that Stiles had in her last nightmare.

Talia POV

Night had finally come. Talia Hale had caught herself gazing at the bright and brilliant moon for more than a moment. It was almost as if she was having speechless conversation. After everything that had been going on lately she had every right to be as stressed as she was. At times she thought how she had found herself in such situations. No matter. She thought. Whatever it took to protect her family she would do it without little hesitation. Her concentration was suddenly broken when she heard a painful howl rip through the windless air. Like a deer caught in the headlights, her head went to her side as she tried focusing on the painful cry. She closed her eyes and focused her all her power into her hearing. Then not a moment after, she heard a second cry. Talia was now furious. She began to walk closer towards the woods, slowly allowing her to transform into an ebony furred wolf with searing red eyes. It was this exact form that alphas from across the globe feared, but it was this same form this form that also those same alphas respected. Talia was fully aware that, that second howl had to be a cry for help. She thought of a pack member being in trouble. She broke off into a charge. Her paws viscously, loudly, and heavily slamming against the earth. She then thought of Isaac, Scott, or even Derek being in danger. Those thoughts didn't help at all. The alpha was now racing herself to the scene like a bullet piercing through the wind. It wasn't until images of them being dead that had sent the alpha into a state of rage. Her paws were barely touching the ground. Talia Hale was beyond determined to get to the scene.

Derek stood in front of the Stilinski residence alongside Scott and Isaac. The three were clearly on guard duty. They circled the entire property about three times before they decided to relax in the front. "Who needs guard dogs when you got us?" Isaac said jokingly with a half smirk.

Scott and Derek both glared over towards Isaac, allowing their eyes to shimmer a bit, causing Isaac half-smirk to suddenly become a frown. "Right, not funny." It was obvious that this was no time for joking. But who could blame the poor beta? Everyone's been so tense since Ricky strolled into town. They yet had figured a way to defeat the man. Deep down Derek knew they were fighting a losing battle… a losing war. Sooner or later, Ricky would get what he wanted. Whatever is was that he wanted.

He shook his head hoping that the negative thoughts would just flow out his head. But he was only facing reality. Derek eyes had then rolled to Scott direction. He had grown up so well. Yeah Scott had cheated on his baby sister. But that was beside the point. Scott had become a very prideful alpha and Derek was proud of him.

"Is she almost here?" Isaac questioned the group. Before Derek could answer a loud howl had caught their ears, causing the three to quickly turn to the direction of the signaling howl.

There she was, the beautiful and powerful alpha, Talia Hale. She could easily see that lines on the three boy's forehead formed from both stress and anger was starting to become permanent. It hurt the powerful alpha inside. Everyone was trying their hardest to protect Selena from Ricky but no one was sure how to actually protect her. That was what hurt the mother more than anything. "Where is my daughter?" she asked the young alpha. "She's in the back." He replied, taking a few steps closer to Talia. She then calmly closed her eyes and focused herself to just who was all actually in the house. She had only caught 3 scents: John, Stiles, and then Selena. A soft smile had appeared on the alphas face, knowing her daughter was being protected.

***Then, she had suddenly felt something wicked... she had found another scent. It was evil. So evil that the scent made every hair on her back jump up. When Talia opened her eyes, Scott and Derek could easily see the there was something wrong. "What?" Isaac was oblivious to the situation. Talia did not need to speak words for the others to know something was wrong though. With a nod, she and Scott broke off into run, heading to the back.

When they arrived, Ricky was nowhere to be seen but his scent still lurked the premises. The two alphas looked into the back window seeing Selena laying peacefully next to Stiles. "Is everything fine?" Scott said unsurely. Talia wasn't able to answer, she was still scanning the couple. "No…" Talia finally said. After a few seconds she was finally able to notice the horrid look in her daughter's facial expression. Selena's eyes were shut tightly together as her eyebrows knitted closely together like mountains overlapping. The worst of it all was the beads of sweat that suddenly appeared. Just then she and Stiles had made eye contact, she could see the hurt in the poor boy eyes as he mouthed the words "I don't know what to do…"

The look of defeat was strong in his eyes as he did everything in his power to hold back his tears for his dear Selena…

Talia stood motionless. It was as if her mind and body had suddenly shut down on her.

She wanted to run to her daughter's side but for some reason, she couldn't. Ricky's scent had then dramatically gotten stronger, causing Talia's lips to tremble. Then… it all happened, a loud horrifying scream was let out from Selena. The alphas blood was beyond boiling at this point.

"I see where Selena gets her gorgeous looks from." He chuckled. Causing both alphas to spring around, coming face to face with the hellraiser. Talia stood her grounds but she could see Scott on the other hand was a silent storm. "Let me guess… Ricky?" she said. "What the hell do you want!?" Scott shouted over to the dangerous man.

"Come find out?" Ricky said ever so invitingly as he held out his two arms as if he was expecting a hug from the furious alpha. Scott then let out a low growl as his eyes shimmered to a searing red.
