Hey guys, here's the next chapter, which I'm sorry took so long to get out, but this was actually one of the harder chapters for me to write so far in this story, and I'm so glad I'm done with it so I can get onto writting the next chapter of Waldorf Hunter Family (Which is the fic I'm having the most fun writing right now). I hope you guys all enjoy this chapter.
Deaton turned around and pulled a vial of mountain ash out of his pocket and spread it out on the entry way. The ash snapped into place. "Wait isn't it only supposed to do that when the rest of the property is surrounded by mountain ash?" Scott asked slightly confused.
"It was one of the suggestions that Deaton gave me, thought it sounded good," Melissa said.
"Good job Ms. McCall," Stiles said.
"What's going on?" Tracey asked from her place clinging to Lydia.
"Life or death situation most likely. Just stay behind me, I'll protect you," Lydia replied with.
"Okay guys, check the house, make sure everything is covered. Get me a count of these guys," Scott ordered.
Stiles pulled back, making sure that Kira was behind him at all times, checking out the kitchen. Lydia moved off the stairs, Tracey wrapped around her arm as she heads towards the back door.
"I count one over here," Stiles yelled from his position.
"I got another one over here," Lydia yelled.
"And there are two up here, so there's probably four total. It seems that they are trying to cover every exit," Scott stated.
"What do we know about the Oni?" Alison asked Deaton.
"They are hunters for other supernatural beings. Also, they have no known weaknesses," Deaton said.
"Do we know what they've been looking for?" Scott asked.
"No, just that they haven't found it yet," Deaton replied.
"Okay, here's the plan. They are looking for something supernatural, right. Stiles, get everyone how isn't out of here and to someplace safe. The rest of us will hold up here. Alison, go with them if you can, they might need the protection," Scott ordered.
"Let me grab my bow," Alison said, passing the crossbow off to Melissa and heading up the stairs. She came back down a couple seconds later with her trusty bow and arrows. "Okay, Stiles, you cover the back. I'll lead," Alison ordered as she headed for the back door, "Tracey, Kira, follow me out."
"Why can't you come Lydia?" Tracey asked, still attacked to the other girl's arm.
"Cause I can't make it past the mountain ash, I'm supernatural, so it keeps me in," Lydia explained deftly.
"I'm staying here then," Tracey stated.
"No, Tracey, you have to go," Lydia ordered.
"I want to protect you," Tracey stated.
"You can't, but we can protect you, so go," Lydia ordered a little more softly this time. The statement hung in the air for a second or two before Tracey lowered her head and stepped over towards Stiles, who was waiting at the door.
"Okay, on the count of three, you guys run, and don't break the ash line when you do so. Just keep running," Scott stated before quickly turning to Deaton. "Is the shop empty?" Deaton just nodded in reply. "Okay, Stiles, your truck is nearby right?"
"Yeah, I should be able to get to it easily enough without having to wrap around," Stiles stated.
"Good, take everyone and head towards the vets office. Deaton, mom, you guys need to head out too," Scott finished.
"Okay dear, don't die. Call as soon as this situation resolves," Melissa told her son before walking over towards the back door followed by Deaton.
"Three… Two… One… Go" Scott counted down. As soon as "Go" was said, Stiles pulled open the door and sprinted out, his crossbow trailing on the closer of the two Oni. Right behind him was Tracey, Melissa and Deaton.
"Kira, what happened to Kira?" Stiles called out.
The girl in question was back at the barrier, being kept in. "What, what's going on," Kira franticly said.
"It seems you're a supernatural creature, the barrier is keeping you in," Alison stated.
"Get behind me Kira, Alison, the others need you," Lydia told the girl, pulling Kira so she was standing behind her. Alison nodded and rushed out the door, being able to go past the line of mountain ash.
"What do you mean I'm supernatural?" Kira asked.
"It means you're not human, which is not a bad thing. I'm not human either," Lydia replied.
"Well then, if I'm not human, what am I?" Kira asked.
"That's something to find out when we aren't in a life and death situation," Lydia told the other girl.
"What are the Oni doing?" Scott yelled.
"They seem to be leaving the other's alone, and it looks like they are in the clear. Now what?" Lydia replied, leveling her cross bow on the Oni nearest her.
"Well, the only thing to do right now is to wait it out. Let's hope they will leave us alone," Scott said.
"Deaton said they were hunters, I doubt they will leave us alone," Lydia stated.
"Yeah, you're right, but it's not like we have many options here right now," Scott told the group.
"Yeah, let's hope we can get out of this soon," Lydia said.

The jeep drove up to the vet office, and all the humans piled out. The group made their way into the building. Once they were safely inside, Tracey spoke, "What the hell just happened?"
"Well, it seems that like every time we go to a get together of some type, something supernatural happened," Stiles commented.
"Is that the big secret Lydia was talking about?" Tracey asked.
"Yeah, it is," Alison stated.
"I think it's time for me to hear the whole story," Tracey said.
"Yeah, you've earned that right," Alison stated.
"Really, I earned it, I just ran," Tracey replied with.
"Well, you've found out about the supernatural. We have a rule where we won't tell anyone about it, because it instantly endangers them. If they find out about them on their own, mostly through encounters like this, we fill in all the gaps," Alison explained.
"So, you all know about the supernatural then?" Tracey asked the group.
"Yep. It was quite to shock to me when I found out though, and that wasn't too long ago," Melissa replied.

While the humans of the pack were explaining things to Tracey, the rest of the pack where sitting tensely around the McCall house, having a similar conversation with Kira. "So, Scott's a werewolf, which is why he couldn't leave the house?" Kira questioned.
"Yeah," Scott replied simply.
"And you have no idea what Lydia is, or what I am," Kira stated.
"Yep, that pretty much covers it," Lydia stated.
"No wonder you guys are such a tight nit group if you've been through all of this stuff before," Kira commented.
"I guess you could say that," Scott replied with.
"Please, I've basically married you to Alison, we better be close after that," Lydia teased, causing Kira's eyes to go big.
"Wait, what?" Kira stated.
"Well, Alison's family had more political power over what Alison did in the supernatural landscape, but then I found a spell that would bind her and Scott together as mates, so basically the supernatural version of a marriage, allowing us to keep Alison away from her parents," Lydia stated.
"That must have been interested," Kira replied with.
"Well, it was also the night Scott's mom found out, so that," Lydia started to explain before stopping abruptly and stand up from her place leaning against one of the walls. "Scott… they are tearing through the barrier."
Scott jumped up off the couch and turned to look through the window where he saw that the Oni were in fact breaking through the mountain ash barrier. "That's new," Scott stated.
Okay, there you go guys, I hope you all enjoy this, and please let me know what you think
