Faith was running down the hall. Jackson, Allison, Lydia, Scott, and Stiles trailing after her. They were running from the alpha. The alpha, was the " thing" that attacked Faith and Jackson at the video store. Derek had explained to Faith and Scott information about the alpha. But now, since the last time the two saw him, which was many minutes prior, his body was laid motionless on the ground in the parking lot. The alpha had killed him. Derek was dead.
How this all happened, you may ask? Well it all started earlier that day.
{« Flashback »}
Faith woke up with a happy sigh escaping her lips. She had no nightmares, only peaceful dreams. One which involved her and Derek, a steamy bath, and no clothes on. She quickly frowned. Sure she and Derek made out, but she was going on a date with Jackson tomorrow. She had to get Derek out of her mind, and fast.
Faith climbed out of bed and walked towards her closet, pulling out a red pair of tight basketball shorts and a plain white top. The shorts reached below her knees and the shirt reached above her belly button. Faith pulled out her old worn out, grey sneakers and threw on her clothes.
Today, Faith didn't really care how she looked at the moment. She found one of Isaac's Piston caps and put it on backwards. Faith then grabbed her bag and emerged from her room. She walked into Isaac's room and saw him cleaning another cut across his lip.
Last night, when Faith had returned home, she found Isaac uncounsious in the kitchen. He had nasty bruises all over his face. She cleaned up most of them while he was asleep, but not all of them. Faith stepped in front of Issac and grabbed the cloth he had in his hand. She felt the warm water on the cloth and started dabbing at the cut, instead of rubbing it like Isaac was before.
" I'm sorry I wasn't home." Faith apologized, feeling guilty.
" Faith it's not your fault." Isaac said, finally looking up at Faith. His eyes widened when he saw what his little sister was wearing. " Put on some clothes!" Isaac shouted.
Faith chuckled and turned in a circle. " That must mean I look good." She stated.
Isaac rolled his eyes and walked over to his closet. " Tell Lydia I said thanks for the new clothes." Isaac mumbled.
Faith nodded her head, even though his back was turned to her. She then exited her brother's room and went downstairs.

" Shut up, Isaac!" Jackson said, playfully nudging Isaac in the ribs.
" Both of you dorks shut up." Faith spoke, pointing fingers at both boys. They knew she was serious because she wasn't smiling.
" Fine." Jackson and Isaac huffed at the same time.
The three were currently in Jackson's Porsche, joking around. That was until Faith started getting annoyed by Isaac, whom was teasing the other two about their date.
Faith sighed, not knowing why she was snapping all of the sudden. But, maybe it had something to do with the feeling like something bad was going to happen. And Faith was spot on, she just didn't know it. Or what was going to happen later that day.

" Scott!" Faith called out, catching up with her friend.
Scott turned around and waited for Faith to stop in front of him. " Hey Faith." Scott spoke, waving at Faith.
" Hey Scottie." Faith replied, giving Scott a side hug.
Faith and Scott turned the hall. They were surprised when they saw the one girl who seemed to appear out of nowhere, kissing Jackson. Faith's eyes welled up with tears as she watched Nora pull her lips away from Jackson's. She turned her head towards Faith, smirking.
Jackson saw Nora looking down the hall and turned his head, too. His eyes widened when he saw Faith running the opposite direction. Scott was chasing after her. Jackson turned his head towards Nora, but she was already gone. He felt his lip, feeling blood where she had bit his bottom lip. He didn't know what happened, Nora just came out of nowhere.
And now, probably messed up his only chance with the girl of his dreams. Jackson started to run in the direction he last saw Faith, but the warning bell rang. He groaned and punched a locker. Jackson then headed down the hallway, hoping he could talk to Faith after class.

Faith ran out the school, Scott close behind her calling out, " Faith, wait!"
But Faith didn't slow down, she only ran faster, straight into the woods. Scott was about to follow her until he heard his name being called by Mr. Harris. " McCall! Detention! Trying to skip school, well not today. Get you're ass in class, now!" Scott hesitated before turning around and walking towards the school again.
Faith ran farther, deeper, into the woods. Faith didn't stop until she was on Derek's doorstep. She ran into the house, seeing him in his kitchen. Derek opened his mouth to ask what she was doing here, but she ran in a sprint, jumping into his arms. He quickly dropped the knife he had in his hand and wrapped his arms around her waist and back. " Are you okay?" Derek questioned.
Faith shook her head. " Your sister's a bitch. Have you seen Nora yet?" Faith stated, raising her head from where it was placed on his shoulder.
Derek nodded. " She came by this morning."
Faith was quiet a moment, the earlier events running through her head, over and over. She squeezed her eyes shut, tears streaming down her red cheeks. " She kissed him."
" Who?" Derek asked, trying not to get angry at the fact his own sister hurt her.
" And he kissed her back." Faith replied, ignoring Derek's question.
" Who?" Derek asked again, his voice softer.
" Jackson." Faith said, resting her head back on his shoulder. " They kissed." Faith's voice now sounded mumbled.
" It's okay." Derek repeated in Faith's ear.
Faith hoped so anyway. She hoped everything would be okay.

Faith left the Hale house with Derek. He said he had to do something, but wouldn't tell her what. Faith got in the passenger's seat of Derek's car. " Derek? You wouldn't... Would you...I'm going to kiss you now." Faith stuttered, leaning over the seat and pressing her lips against his. Derek kissed back, running his hands through her hair.
When Faith pulled away, her top was off. Faith reached over Derek, her top across the steering wheel.
" I'm sorry I threw myself at you. I guess, I just wanted to feel wanted, ya know?" Faith apologized as Derek drove down the road. Derek didn't reply, he looked straight ahead. Faith scoffed. " Wow. You have a make-out session with me and then suddenly you won't talk to me. I get it now. I'm just the bitch, you can do what ever you want with me, right? Well guess what. Pull over the damn car and let me out." Faith snapped.
Derek glanced at her, before continuing down the road.
" Pull over." Faith growled, her eyes turning white, gold, blue, and red at the same time.
Derek sighed, pulling over. Faith got out the car and slammed it shut, watching Derek drive away. She huffed, turning in the opposite direction and starting her walk to school.
{«»}
Faith arrived at school, her legs aching. She walked over 80 miles. Faith walked towards the parking lot, seeing Derek's car, and Stile's jeep. She saw Derek and Nora leaning against the jeep, the back door wide open.
" What's going on?" Faith heard Nora ask. Faith walked right past the jeep and the two, walking towards the school entrance. " Faith? Your boyfriend's lips were delicious."
Faith stopped, turned around slowly, and started walking towards Nora. One foot away from Nora, Faith started chuckling. " You know what Nora? It's funny how you think your words hurt me. But guess what will hurt you?" Faith replied, not letting Nora answer before socking her in the face. Faith took a step back and turned around again, startled by the streaking of a dying cat over the speakers.
Derek growled, annoyed. A second later, a low, deep roar was heard over the speakers. Faith took a step back, that bad feeling rising in her stomach again.
Scott and Stiles descended out the school entrance, smiles on their faces. " What the heck was that!" Nora shouted, holding her bruised jaw. " You trying to attract the whole county?"
" Don't be such a sourwolf, Nora." Stiles smirked, while hitting Scott playfully in the shoulder. " That. Was. Aweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesome!"
" Where's Deaton? What'd you two do with him?" Scott questioned, seeing the door wide open.
Derek and Nora turned around. " We didn't do anything." Derek and Nora spoke.
Then, out of nowhere, the alpha jumped out from behind Derek's car. The alpha stuck it's claws through Derek and Nora, lifting them off the ground. It then through their bodies across the parking lot. While this was going on, Faith, Scott, and Stiles were running for the school entrance. The three shut the doors behind them, knowing it wouldn't keep the alpha out. Faith looked out the window seeing bolt cutters.
" No Faith..." Stiles started, but Faith was already out the door. She bolted towards the bolt cutters and picked them up quickly, she then turned around and ran back into the school, just as the alpha came after her.
" Lock it up." Faith exclaimed to Stiles, pushing the bolt cutters into Stiles' hands. Stiles worked quickly as Faith turned around, wrapping her arms around herself. All she could see was Derek's motionless body on the ground.
" Let's go!" Stiles yelled, running past Faith, Scott right next to him. Faith turned to glance out the door one last time before turning around and running after the boys.
{«»}
" The locker room." Faith stated, opening up the locker room door. She got inside and waited until the other two were in before closing the door back.
" Lockers." Stiles informed, climbing into a locker, Faith and Scott following pursuit.
The three hadn't even been in the locker room for a couple minutes before the locker room door opened. The three held their breathe as their lockers were opened one by one, making them fall to the ground on their knees. They looked up,seeing the janitor towering over them. " Do you think this is a game? Get out. Get out now and be lucky I don't get you all expelled." The janitor complained, pulling the teens up from the ground and pushing them out the locker room.
" No, please!" Scott pleaded, but he was cut off by the alpha jumping into the locker room with the janitor, closing the door behind itself. The three watched in terror as the janitor screamed for help and blood splattered everywhere in the hallway through the vents on the door.
" Scott. Stiles. Run!" Faith shouted, taking off in a sprint down the hallway. The boys following after her.
" Did you hear that?" Scott asked, stopping all of the sudden. But he didn't give anyone time to answer as he said, " Allison?" and pulled out his phone.
" Where are you?" Scott asked the second Allison answered the phone.
" I'm at the school, waiting for you."
" What?" Scott questioned.
" You're the one who texted me Scott!" Allison exclaimed.
" Just meet me in the lobby." Scott stated.
" Lydia and Jackson are here, too." Allison spoke before ending the call.
" Let's go. Now." Faith ordered, resuming her sprint down the halls.
{«»}
" What the hell's going on? Why are we here?" Lydia shrieked.
Jackson, Faith, Stiles, Lydia, Scott, and Allison had all met up at the lobby in the school.
" Lydia? Breathe." Faith said, putting a hand on her friend's shoulder.
" Scott? " Allison questioned, waiting for an answer to her question.
Scott didn't get to answer as they all heard a loud roar. Jackson looked out the door and saw a figure of a man, then it got down on all fours and started running for the door, like an animal.
" Run!" Scott yelled, running down another hallway, the group close behind him.
The 6 soon found themselves in the cafeteria. The 5 were pushing things against the door, hoping to block out the alpha, while Faith looked around. She sighed and turned around calling out, " Guys!?" No response. " GUYS?" No response. " GUYS!?"
EVERYONE TURNED AROUND...WOOOOOOOOW!
" Beautiful job, really beautiful job. But, what are we suppose to do about the 20 foot wall of windows?!" Faith exclaimed, pointing to the windows surrounding the room.
Everyone slowly backed away from the door. Scott and Stiles went in a corner to talk, Allison was comforting a crying Lydia, and Jackson was trying to talk to Faith. Trying. Keyword.
" Faith?" Jackson said, reaching for her arm to stop her from walking away. But Faith quickly pulled away, backing away from him.
" Don't. I saw what I saw." Faith stated, tears streaming down her face.
" Did you really?" Jackson questioned. " I didn't kiss her. She kissed me."
Faith looked down, trying to comprehend what he just told her. A small smile appeared on her lips when she looked up at him. " Really?" She asked.
" Really." Jackson responded. " I don't ever want to be the one who makes you stop smiling. Your smile is absolutely gorgeous."
Faith chuckled at his comment, stepping forward and giving Jackson a hug. " We still on for tomorrow?" Jackson asked.
" Yeah." Faith spoke, giving Jackson a sweet kiss on the lips. Jackson was a little shocked, but kissed back.
Faith pulled away, grinning from ear to ear. That was until she heard Scott say, " It's Derek. He...He killed a janitor."
" A janitor?" Lydia gasped.
Faith's happy mood was taken over by anger. She marched up to Scott, slapping him across the face. " That's a damn lie and you know it!" She whisper-shouted. Scott looked guilty as he lowered his head.
" I know. But I panicked." Scott explained. Faith gasped, saying sorry.
" It's like I didn't have control of my hands." Faith spoke, putting her shaking hands into her pockets. Scott gave her a nod and walked back towards Stiles.
" We need to call someone. Maybe my dad?" Allison offered.
" No. We need to call someone else. Your dad." Jackson stated, pointing towards Stiles.
" What? No. We're not calling my dad." Stiles said.
" No? What do you mean no!?" Jackson questioned, irritated.
" I mean no. Wanna here me say it in Spanish? No!"
Stiles had said no with a Spanish accent.
Jackson looked pissed. " Then I'll call him." He said, reaching for the phone in Stiles' hand.
" Don't. Touch. Him." Scott replied, grabbing Jackson's wrist. Jackson pulled his wrist away, stating, " Well were all gonna die, McCall."
Faith backed away from the group, none noticing she'd slipped out the cafeteria.
Faith transformed, taking off down the hallway. She turned the hallway and met up with the alpha. Faith growled, stepping forward. The alpha stood up, turning into a man, a very creepy man. " Hello, Faith." The man said, stepping closer to Faith, but staying hidden in the shadows.
" You're killing innocent people!" Faith shouted, her eyes turning red, out of rage. Before dying, Derek had said he thinks he knows what the colors of her eyes represent. Yellow, confused. Blue, sad. Red, rage. White...all of them, and more emotions that trigger transformation.
" You have, too. Your eyes are blue." The man stated, taking a step back. " Go save your friends Faith." And the man disappeared. Faith popped her eyes open, she was still a little out of it, so everything she saw was blurry.
When able to focus, Faith looked around. She was in Jackson's arms, as he ran down the hall with the others.
Faith looked behind her, the alpha was hot on their tails. Her eyes flashed yellow when the alpha turned the next hall, no longer behind them. And then Faith knew what it was doing. She looked to her right, down a hall. The alpha had taken a short cut and was now running down a hall that would lead right in front of them.
Faith knew her friends needed an escape, which is the exact reason she pushed herself away from Jackson until she was on the floor. " Run!" She shouted, seeing them all turn around. She saw their eyes widen and Faith heard a growling from behind her. She slowly turned her head and saw the alpha, right behind her. Faith closed her eyes, focusing on drawing power from everything around her, she'd practiced with Derek so many times, this is what she trained for. Faith drew power from the lights outside and pushed her hands against the alpha's chest, which sent it flying backwards.
Faith turned and saw Scott rushing towards her. He picked her up, like Jackson had before, and was running down the hall. " Upstairs." Faith heard Allison faintly say, as she was going in and out of consciousness. Then everything went black for Faith.
