Shout out to;
DerekHaleSiriusBlack1103-Don't sweat it, Ash's making her apperance :)
Xhex1-Thank you, i'm glad :)
vtennis2010-Woops! No, Scott is not the alpha, my mistake! Derek's the alpha and Ash is sort of the female alpha but she's not actually an alpha herself. As for Gerard, you'll learn more about what happened in doses :) I don't plan to bring Kate into it, I don't like her character and the pack's got enough problems :P But i'm glad you like it!
Serena Sterling-Will he get away with it? Will they all make it out safe? We'll see :P
nosfertufan-So do I 3
AlphaWolf19-No, it's steering more towards Resident Evil :) I haven't seen either of those movies so i'm not too sure but it may :) I've been drafting up more stuff for TWD one! I have to say, I really liked Merle's character but not Beth's, we're opposite :P Gerard can be Governor-ish, you'll see more of that :)
Bree-That was Stiles telling Scott he loved Ash :P And at the end it was Erica telling Derek Ash loved him to try comfort her alpha :)
Julia N SnowMiko-Mohaha! ;)
Ashlee's p.o.v
I almost can't breath. My throat hurts. It's dry, it's like trying to swallow razor blades. I cough, eyes opening. I immediantly regret it. The sun burns againist my retinas, making me turn away to shield them. Then comes the pain in my body. The aches, the strains. My vision blurs and fizzes as I try to look at my limbs. Dark purple and black patches cover them. Bruises. Dozens of bruises. I try to pull myself up off the sand but I fail, falling back down on my stomach. The jerked action causes my stomach to object. Bile's forced up my throat until it's staining the sand red. Red. It's blood. I look down at the pool of blood soaking into the sand in horror. I panic, tears coming to my eyes making them sting more than they already do.
"Wh-where am I?" I ask myself, looking around. I see fuzzy green and yellow lush outlines of trees, wildlife. I'm so dizzy, so disorientated. I grip the sand, holding onto it as I feel my body, or maybe it's my head, swaying. I cough, more blood splattering againist the sand. That's not good. I pull myself to my feet, trying to focus my eyes on my surroundings. There's water, alot of water. I stumble, catching myself on a large boulder but still managing to cut my elbow. I cringe in pain, bringing my hand to it. It aches, but nowhere near as much as my body does.
"Ash?!" I hear someone yell. There's people here?
"Help!" I yell out to them.
"ASHLEE!" there's another voice. I see their outlines as my eyes still can't adjust. They come charging at me, black figures. I try to tell them to stay back but arms wrap around me, squeezing me tight. I panic as my body flares up in pain. What's happening?
"Get off me!" I yell, kicking out at this person until i've successfully seperated us. I stand as tall as I can, breathing heavily. "Don't touch me" I warn the person who just grabbed me. I can vaguely make him out to be male.
"Ash?" the man says. "Ash, who did this to you?" he asks, looking at my arms and legs. I look down at the bruises and cuts that spot my skin.
"Wh..what?" I ask, confused. Why do they keep saying that name? I look around at all the figures, some female, some male. I definitely feel threatened. I'm definitely scared. I'm definitely panicking.
"Ash, did they hurt you?" the male with the green eyes asks. I don't know what to say. I just..don't know.
"Derek, she's terrified" the first voice I heard earlier says to green eyes. He steps forward. "Ash, you're okay" he says softly. He holds a hand out to the others and they back up a few steps. I'm grateful for that but i'm definitely not dropping my guard. "Ashlee? It's me" he says.
"I-I don't know you" I tell him. "And I don't know who Ashlee is" I say, stepping back with my hands up, coaxing him to not hurt me.
"Ash it's me, it's Scott" the male says, taking another step forward. I take another step back, my feet dipping into the cool water of the vast ocean. I flinch a little but stay facing the unknown man. Green eyes steps forward and I flinch again. "Derek, back off" he tells the man. "Let me handle this"
"Just..just let me go" I plead in a hoarse voice, the tears building from earlier finally falling.
"I'm not gonna hurt you" he says. "It's me, it's your brother"
"I don't..I don't have a brother. I..I don't know" I say, getting overwhelmed and confused.
"Ashy?" I turn to see another figure has stepped forward. A much smaller figure. My eyes focusing in and out like a camera. He's just a kid. "Ashy? I'm Tyler, remember me?" he asks me.
"Who is Ashlee? Who are you?" I ask them, chest rising and falling too fast as I panic.
"Ash, what did they do to you?" the male closest to me asks.
"I..I don't remember" I say. "I don't remember anything" I say in a scared whisper. "I don't remember who I am" I breath out, the tears winning the battle over my cheeks. A strange feeling bursts from my chest, filling my entire body from the tip of my toes to the hair on my hair. I stumble dizzily. And then I lose all conciousness.

Scott's p.o.v
"Ash?!" I yell, seeing the girl fall into the water unconcious. I rush to her side, lifting her out as she goes under. Derek races over too, the pack following. I can't help the scared tears that come to my eyes. Derek quickly takes the girl into his arms, lifting her up and bringing her back to shore.
"What happened to her?" Stiles asks.
"Why doesn't she know who we are?" Isaac asks.
"Is she alive?" Erica asks. I see the frustration and fear building on the alpha's face as each question is fired at him. He looks up with glassey red eyes. He roars at them, demanding they get back. Each step back, either out of obedience or fear.
"Stay with her" I tell Derek. I get up, going to stand in front of the pack. "Okay, I-I need a nice bed made up, I need drinking water and something for her to eat" I tell them. "Go do that, all of you" I tell them. One look from Derek has them all walking away. Stiles grabs my shirt, not angerily but out of desperation.
"Scott, what the hell happened to her?" he asks me, his own tears threatening to spill over.
"I don't really know, some kind of memory loss but we're gonna find out" I assure him, my teary eyes meeting his. "Take Tyler back to camp, keep him calm, okay? Can you do that for me?" Stiles nods. "She's gonna be okay Stiles, i'll make sure of it" he glances one more time at the wet, unconcious girl in the sand before scooping Tyler up and following the others back to camp. I race back over to Derek, dropping down beside Ash. "What's happening?"
"She's not waking up" the alpha tells me, eyes staring down at her. I search for a pulse.
"She's okay. She's got a pulse, a weak pulse but a pulse all the same" I say, looking at him. He's just staring down at her sadly. "Derek!" I snap. He looks up at me. "I need your help" he nods, picking her up again. We take her back to camp, finding the things I asked for have been done. Derek places her down on the makeshift bed. I cover her with a blanket. "Ash?" I call out, touching the girl's cheek. She's freezing and pale.
"I'll make a fire" Peter says, getting up. Derek gives him a thankful nod.
"Ash?" I call out again. She doesn't respond or move, she doesn't even stir. I can't help the tears that wash over me. I hand comes to my shoulder. I look to see Derek, he's trying to comfort me while he deals with this dilemmia himself. I can't help it. I start to cry, hugging the male. He's tense with suprise and non-responsive at first but slowly eases into it, rubbing my shoulders. I squeeze my eyes shut, trying to stop the tears that are flowing but I can't.

Ashlee's p.o.v
This time when I wake up, it's different. I'm warm. I'm comfortable. I open my eyes to see darkness aside the small fire burning beside me. I roll onto my side, coughing. I cough up more blood into sand. I fall back into the softness of this..whatever it is. I try to pull myself to sit up.
"Take it easy" I jolt, my head snapping towards the voice. "Hey, we're not here to hurt you, we're here to help you" the male, Scott, says.
"Help with what?" I ask, getting to my feet.
"With helping you heal" a voice says from behind me. I spin around, trying to escape them both. I stumble. "Ash, stop-" he grabs my arm.
"Don't touch me" I warn him, grabbing his wrist to pull his hand off me. My head rushes and I squeeze my eyes shut, feeling something close to a bad migrane coming on.
"Ash? Ashlee?" he asks, steadying me with a hand to my back. Images flash behind my eyes, vague, some clearer than others.
The revv of an engine. More than one actually. Flashes of matte black doors. I see a hood scope. There's dirt, dust in the air.
"1970 Mustang" I hear the man's voice. It's the same voice. A flash of those green eyes.
"Chevy Camaro" that's..that's my voice. There's revving and it gets louder and louder.
"Ashlee!" my eyes fly open and I take deep breaths. What the hell was that? "Ash, are you okay?" Scott asks. I pull away from the other man, sitting back down. Both males look at each other before turning to me. "Ash, talk to me" Scott says, crotching down in front of me.
"Um..what happened to me?" I ask him, meeting his eyes. "Where are we? Who am I?" I ask. Scott looks between my eyes, his own filled with worry. He sits down in front of me properly.
"You're name is Ashlee McCall" he tells me. I try to remember but it doesn't ring any bells. "I'm Scott, Scott McCall. I'm your brother. The young boy from back at the beach, his name's Tyler McCall and he's our younger brother" he tells me. "Our mother's name is Melissa and our father's name is Rafael. Any of this sound familiar?" he asks. I shake my head.
"No..no, it's all hazzy" I tell him. "Who is that?" I ask Scott, nodding to the male still hanging around.
"His name's Derek Hale. You two are sort of.."
"Sort of what?" I ask him. The two males share a look.
"Together" Scott finishes. "Well you're..you're something" I look at this man, finding he won't meet my eyes.
"He's Derek?"
"Yeah" Scott nods.
"My sort of boyfriend? And you're Scott, my brother and that kid is my brother too?" I ask. Scott nods.
"Listen, you've suffering some kind of memory loss and I don't know how long it's going to last but you can trust us, okay? We're your family, all of us are" he says.
"I.."
"I know, you don't think you can but you just..you're just gonna have too. We're gonna keep you safe and get your memory back" he says.
"Okay" I nod. What other choice do I have? I'm on an island. There's not really anywhere for me to run. I'd rather play along with this group than try my luck out there on my own. "How'd we get here? And why were you all already here when I got here?" I ask my..brother..
"Don't worry about that right now, okay? We'll tell you everything but not now. You need to relax, drink, eat, heal" he says, passing me a bottle of water. "Have these too" he says, handing me a bag of peanuts. I raise an eyebrow.
"Salted peanuts?" I ask, a little confused.
"You won't remember but they're your favourite" he tells me with a soft smile. I nod, smiling in the slightest myself. "Eat then let your body heal"
"Like I have control over that" I say, bringing the bottle of water to my lips. The cool liquid soothes my throat in as instant. I see Scott and Derek looking at each other. "What?" I ask them.
"Can you shift?" Derek asks me. I look at him in confusion.
"Shift what?" I ask him. They share another look. What the hell?
"Nothing, it's nothing" Scott says.
"Scott!" the little boy, my other..brother Tyler, calls out. I'm still adjusting to this new information. Scott looks at me.
"I have to go check on the p..um, the others. Will you be okay here with Derek?" he asks me. I nod.
"We're a thing, right? I'm sure i'll be fine. Go check on your group" I tell him. He gives me a smile and gets up, leaving. I look at Derek. He sits down where Scott was, looking at me with that same worried face. "Uh..hey" I say a little awkwardly.
"Hey" he says with a weak smile.
"Listen..i'm sorry about all that stuff back there. I had no idea" I apologise.
"It's okay, I get it" he nods. "But you should know, I would never do anything to hurt you" he says.
"Good" I say. "Because you're kind of insanely handsome" I say with a smile, lightening the mood. Derek chuckles, a smile coming to his lips. A smile that looks..almost familiar. I look into his green eyes. Those also look familiar.
"Well you're kind of insanely beautiful, just like the day I first met you" he says, looking into his lap shyly. Wow. Who knew i'd be able to bag such a gentleman?
"Can you tell me what happened the first day we met?" I ask him, eating from my bag of peanuts. "I'm curious" I say. He nods.
"You were coming back into town to move back in with your mother and your brothers. I.." he trails off, looking like he's trying to find the right words.
"You what?" I ask him.
"I was..on these dirt roads, just driving. I happened across you in the same place and pulled up beside you" he tell me.
"And let me guess..you took my breath away and we went out for coffee and fell in love?" I say, hating the cliche. He chuckles.
"No, not at all" he says.
"Then what?" I ask, interested.
"You challenged me to a race" he tells me. "We raced, well..we didn't get to finish because the cops caught us. We were arrested and taken to holding cells for the night. We had to spend the night in one together and..that's how it all started"
"Really?" I ask. He nods. "That's so..awesome" I smile. "Tell me the truth, who was winning?" I ask him, holding the bag of peanuts out to him. He chuckles but doesn't answer, reaching into the bag. The rushing fills my head again and more images flash behind my eyes.
"This dirt road is exactly a quater mile" I say.
"You want me to race you?" Derek asks me. More images of cars, flashes, scroll through my mind. Cars that are familiar, cars that I know. The images flash to bars, there's bars everywhere. A cell.
"John let you have them in here?" Derek asks, his hand in my bag of peanuts.
"Yeah" I smile at the man.
"Ash?" I snap out of it, much less sudden this time. "Ash, are you okay?" he asks me. I look down at the peanuts and back up at Derek, looking into his green eyes.
"Do you drive a Camaro?" I ask him. His eyes widen. "Do I drive a Mustang?" he nods.
"How'd did you know that?" he asks.
"You. When I-when I grabbed you before, I saw you, in my head. There was flashes of parts of these cars. Just then, I saw us in our cars. I challenged you to race me and then..and then we were in a jail cell, eating peanuts together" I recall.
"That's what happened" he nods. "Do you remember anything else?" he asks. I shake my head.
"Not yet. But I think..I think it's coming back, slowly" I tell him.
"That's good" he says. "You should rest some more, you need it" he says. "I'm gonna stay right here, alright? I'm not going anywhere" Derek assures me. I give him a small smile before laying back down on the bed. I close my eyes. I'm still tense and confused and a little scared. But I saw the things Derek told me, so it must be somewhat true. I'm aching to find out more, to remember more. I don't know what it is but something, deep inside me, is hungrier for the truth than I am.
