Matt left the room and closed the door behind him as Rachel finally took a breath in. "Holy shit that hurts," she mumbled sitting up holding her stomach as Stiles chuckled a little a few tears still in his eyes.

"Wait? You…?" Derek stopped and his face hardened. Rachel rolled her eyes as she stood up, but she was still weak from the bullets. "Care to explain?"

"Not really," she smirked pressing her hand to her stomach. Derek was ready to attack her himself if he wasn't still paralyzed. "All I have to tell you is…"

"Can we talk about this later, say when our lives aren't in danger?" Stiles barked just as the lights went out and the emergency lights went on.

"Well it can't get worse than this," Rachel sighed thinking Matt was controlling everything. The sound of machine-guns began firing and Rachel screamed falling to the floor digging her face into Stiles chest. When everything grew silent Rachel sat up, her stomach stopped hurting and she noticed it healed, and it freaked her out even though she knew it would happen. Derek stood up a weakly stumbled to the door.

"Watch him," he ordered pointing to Stiles as she stepped closer to him.

"No, I'm coming to fig-"

"No, you're not. You have no clue what Jackson is capable of and Matt just shot you twice if you can't stand against him then I don't want you watching my back," Derek barked before slamming the door behind him.

"I can stand against Matt no problem!" she screamed before looking out the window.

"It was all for show, I know that," Stiles said looking at her wishing he could move. Rachel stared at the tree line noticing it was a few feet away.

"If we run we can make it," she said as Stiles cleared his throat.

"Two things Rachel. One we are not leaving the others behind especially my dad. And two I can't move at all," he barked as she closed her eyes completely forgetting that.

"I'm sorry, fine, I'll take you somewhere…" the door opened before she could finish her sentence and Scott ran in helping Stiles up and looked at Rachel.

"Come on," he said impatiently as she nodded and ran after him. "Get in front, now!" Rachel did as she was ordered and she opened the first door only to have Scott slam it behind him and lock it, she turned and saw Jackson standing behind it. Panic settled in and her feet began moving faster opening one door after the next until she reached a vault like room.

"What's the plan?" she asked her heart in her throat. Scott began pacing the floor trying to think. "Scott?"

"Shut up!" he barked panic finally starting to settle in his body. "Ok, I'm going to go help Derek, you get out of here, go home, go somewhere, just leave." He pointed to Rachel thinking she would be fine with abandoning everyone.

"Are you crazy? Let me do something. I can fight."

"No you can't, you have no clue what you're up against I have told you, yes, but you don't know what your doing please just trust me on this," he begged as she looked at Stiles.

"I'll stay and watch Stiles," she protested.

"Rachel, this isn't a time for fighting, I gave you an order now follow it," Scott growled getting in her face. She looked at Stiles who seemed to be agreeing with Scott and she sighed defeated.

"Fine, call me when you're out," she demanded as he nodded and she slipped out a side door. She crept down a hall undetected and then she saw a figure the same size as Matt run out the front door, she smiled and ran after him. Scott never said I couldn't do anything to Matt unarmed. She thought to herself as she ran into the woods. She could see Matt running on the road next to her but she was waiting the perfect time to attack. She saw the bridge ahead and stopped before breaking into the clearing a car came head on and stopped Matt in his tracks. Holding her breath she hid behind a tree and watched from the edge. Someone dragged Matt down to the stream and began drowning him. She stood in shock not knowing what to do. She contemplated weather she should help the one that tried to kill her or walk away. She bit her lip and stepped into the clearing thinking she was going to help but by the time she made her decision she was too late, the man stood up and she covered her mouth and stepped back praying she wouldn't be spotted.

"Not afraid of the water anymore?" Gerard called out looking under the bridge. Rachel ran back behind the tree and watched as Jackson crawled over to him and accepted him as his new master.

"Shit, this isn't good," she whispered grabbing her phone she began texting Scott but immediately stopped when she thought she would be caught. She looked around the tree again and noticed the car wasn't there, nor Jackson, or Gerard. She slowly walked down the decline to the waters edge and stared at Matt quickly covering her mouth to prevent from screaming. She finished her text to Scott and looked around not knowing exactly what to do. She grabbed his leg and pulled him out of the water and stared before running away. She left the woods, and ran home where Isaac was. But when she got home Isaac wasn't there. She pulled her phone out and called him but he didn't answer and after seeing someone drown she needed someone to talk to and fast. After calling Lydia and Allison and not getting an answer Rachel walked to her bed and fell asleep hoping her dreams weren't haunted.

At eight in the morning she was woken up by the ringtone of her phone, thinking it was the alarm she hit the disable button, but it didn't go off. "Hello?" she mumbled.

"Where did you go?" Stiles asked sighing in relief at the sound of her voice.

"Home. I really needed to," she lied.

"Well did you hear what happened to Matt?"

"I…I don't want to talk about it," she closed her eyes the images of last night playing in her mind. Seeing him drowning for the third time and not doing a think about it.

"So you did hear."

"No, I kind of witnessed it." Stiles remained silence for a while before she cleared her throat.

"Well…I'm sorry you did."

"I got to get ready for school. Can we talk at school?"

"Yeah no problem," he said.

"OH before you go. How do you feel? You know from last night?"

"Don't worry, Rachel, I'm fine," he laughed as she smiled before hanging up. She changed and got ready for school and found her brother packing his bag in the kitchen.

"Where were you last night?" she questioned looking at him funny.

"No where," Isaac answered.

"You weren't here which means you were somewhere."

"Rachel, it's none of your business where I was last night, I don't have to tell you everything just like you don't have to tell me everything," he barked as she looked at him shockingly. "Now, get your stuff I'm late for practice," he mumbled as she slowly walked into the living room to retrieve her bag. They drove to school in complete and awkward silence it felt to her when Isaac was in training with Derek.

"Isaac, I'm sorry I didn't come to you with this, but I was dying," she whispered getting out of the car as he didn't look at her.

"Yeah it's ok, I got to go," he rolled his eyes making his way for the school locking the car behind him.

"No," she barked running in front of him. "We are not having another stupid fight because you don't agree with my decisions or because you want to be in charge, you…"

"Rachel, I don't have time for this I am late for practice we will talk later," he grabbed her wrist his tone very threatening. She looked at him like a scared puppy and backed away letting him pass. She walked into the school and put her books in her locker and retrieved the ones for her first two classes.

"What's up with your brother?" Lydia asked as Rachel closed and locked the door shaking her head.

"You really don't want to know," she sighed as they walked down the hall.

"So apparently we have to go talk to the guidance councilor because of what happened to Matt," Lydia changed the subject sarcastically as Rachel nodded. The bell rang and the girls went there separate ways.
