Would it really kill you if we kissed?

by I'm Meaner Than My Demons

Now, both of us have some darkness inside of us. A crack in our souls that will never be fixed. Maybe that's okay though because that crack also lets the light come in, and it is in the dark where light shines the brightest. ScottxOC s01, s02 ,s03A, minor DerekxOC (different one).

36. The Overlooked

Would it really kill you if we kissed?

By I'm Meaner than My Demons

Summary: 'BECAUSE THAT'S HOW MUCH POWER YOU HAVE OVER ME!' she shouted so loud she knew her neighbors must have heard, 'You own me, you control me, I give up everything just to be near you even though I know you will never love me. I hurt for you, I bleed just to be with, and I hate myself every single time I look at you or Allison knowing what I'm thinking, what I want because I want you to be with her. I'm torn between wanting to do the right thing as you friend and between wanting to do what I want. So don't you dare accuse me of trying to break you up when I've done nothing, but fought for you guys.'

A.N: Thanks everyone one for everything :) 90 reviews ^_^ it's the dream and as a special treat new chapter is here right now ;)

Enjoy

DDDDDDDDDDDDD

'Your dad is not dead,' said Nina as they hurried to his car, 'The five said his name. Which means he is alive in the near future,' she said and then took her head into her hands.

'She won't kill him. I will.'

'Nin, stop saying that,' said Scott as he urged her and pulled her hands away screwing the deal in this case, 'You're not and won't hurt anyone. Whatever that was was just her trying to mess with you. You can't lose your focus now. I need you now more than ever. We need to find the sheriff.'

She looked into Scott's eyes before she nodded her look of sudden determination matching his. 'Alright,' she grabbed his hand, 'I think I know where she might go next,' she said getting everyone attention.

'Derek,' said the blonde, 'She picked him for a reason. If we have to act like everything she did is a trick and said is a lie then-'

'She's dating him for a purpose,' said Stiles and she nodded.

'I haven't been able to reach Clara again. I sent her to my granny's. She was supposed to have a look at the herbs in the tea she was drinking wither her. I think they made her think she was Clara.'

Stiles cursed suddenly and stopped in track. Both teens looked at him. His dad just got taken. That wasn't an easy thing to deal with. Nina looked at Scott for a second before she walked to the boy and put her hands on his face, 'Hey, look at me. Look at me.'

He did.

'I'll find him. I found you when Gerard had you, remember? And you guys found me when Morrison took me. Scott found me and Derek after the formal. We found Boyd and Cora and we found Lydia when she was in the woods. It takes us a while, but we always find everyone. Right now we know where she's going. We're going to be there faster and cut her off and save you dad, alright? Stiles looked into her eyes and Scott could see that the boy was desperate to hold on to the hope that Nina was offering. She was good at that. She was good in giving home to those who need except for herself.

Stiles took put his hands over hers on his face and nodded, 'We're gonna find. We're gonna deal wither like with every psycho bitch before and we're gonna save him.'

They nodded at each other and started to run again. Stiles got to his jeep while Nina took the spot behind Scott.

'Hey, whatever you saw,' said Scott, 'It's not real. It's a trick,' he said and Nina nodded. She needed to find Stiles's dad. She would think about that dream later. She hoped it wouldn't be too late.

Perhaps it wasn't a good thing to let Stiles drive since he was terribly shaken by what happened. His dad. The one person he never wanted to even think about losing was taken by a psychotic killer who used people as ritual sacrifices.

Once they came to Derek's Scott helped him out of the car, 'Hey, Nina's right, alright? Your dad will be fine. We'll figure this out. I promise.'

Stiles swallowed, 'I knew this would happen if I tell him, I knew it.'

Scott shook his head, 'This isn't about telling him. This is about him doing his job. He would have gone in there one way or another.'

Nina nodded, 'Tell me wouldn't you rush in if it was you with a gun?'

Stiles closed his eyes and nodded again licking his lips, 'Alright, you guys are right. Let's go. Let's freaking go and let's get that bitch.'

Nina's phone rang.

'Clara finally,' she said and picked up.

'Did you found it?' asked the blonde.

'On my way to Deaton's to have a look, but you should know that coach was right. Jennifer was coming over. I don't know how she did it yet, but Maria was sure it was me. I told him not to leave her. She's fine now, but I can't be sure until I know what herbs are those. She said you used to drink it as well. How did you feel?'

Nina looked at Scott before she said, 'She stabbed me with something, and I lost consciousness. I don't know what it was though. I had a dream or something about the five...I think they've been messing with me this whole time,' she said earning both boys attention.

'What?'

'Look, find out what it is. I'll be fine. Call me later.'

'Oh, and Derek knows. I already told him. Bye,' said Clara and ended the call. Nina looked at the boys, 'What about the five?' asked Stiles.

She sighed, 'Over the summer...ever since Morrison I have been hearing my mom's voice telling me shit. I thought it was her, but...it must have been the five. I think they got into my head or something.'

Stiles looked at Scott who was silent which told the boy that whatever this was about he already knew. He looked at Nina, 'We didn't talk about what you did in the bathroom. That was wolfbane, was it?'

She shook her head, 'I heard her and saw her and she just kept on telling me shit and with Shane breaking up with me and everything. I'm not sure what did it mean. I mean do they want to use me or kill me, but...I think they actually can mess me up bad. They already did sort of. I think this is how it works. She gave me something which made me hear them.'

Stiles looked at Scott who put a hand on her shoulder, 'We're not letting them do anything to you from now on. From now on. You hear or see anything and you tell us.'

Stiles nodded, 'Yeah, whatever. Just tell us, alright?'

She smiled at them a bit and nodded taking Stiles hand for a bit, 'Promise. We're the holy trinity after all.'

Stiles chuckled, 'Yeah, Batman, Robin and Cat Woman.'

Scott put his hand on Stiles shoulder as well, 'I think you graduated to Nightwing.'

Stiles shoved him a bit before they went to Derek's all feeling determinate and hopeful. This is why Scott couldn't imagine to be an alpha. He couldn't imagine ever doing anything without Stiles and Nina.

DDDDDDDDDDDD

The hospital was in pure chaos as the storm was slowly coming to hit them. Melissa McCall was shouting at the others what to do.

'Okay, all medications should be sealed inside the plastic bags, and the patients carry it in their hands. When you've completely evacuated the room, you mark the door with a red "X," okay?'

Karen rushed to her, 'I tried like ten times, but Clara's not answering.'

She pressed her lips together, 'I'm sure, she's fine, just make sure everyone is doing what they are supposed to do.'

Suddenly a large branch crashed through the window.

'What the hell is going on?' asked a doctor.

'The weather called for mild thunderstorms this morning. And now they're saying power is already out in several towns. Hill Valley's under a flood watch,' shouted Melissa back.

'I live in Hill Valley.'

'Are your patients clear?'

The man checked his list, 'Uh... All except for Cora Hale.'

Melissa took his list and ran to Cora's room. 'Sorry, but she wasn't, uh...'

She froze in track when she found Peter Hale standing by his niece's bed with a wet cloth. She swallowed, 'You're supposed to be dead'

Peter nodded, 'I get that a lot actually.'

Suddenly Cora sat up and threw up black blood all over the floor. Melissa swallowed hard, 'This was not good.'

DDDDDDDDDDDD

Jennifer ran to the loft, 'Derek? Derek, where are you?' she called around the dark place.

'Right here,' said Derek stepping out into the light.

'Thank God. Something happened at the recital. At the school. Okay, I need to tell you before you hear it, before you hear any of it from them,' she said and ran toward him putting her hands against his chest, 'I was so worried.'

Derek looked down at her, 'From who?'

'Scott, Stiles, Nina. They're gonna tell you things. Things you can't believe. You have to trust me, okay? You trust me.'

'What is it?' he asked looking at her, but she could already see there was something in his eyes.

'Promise you'll listen to me.'

'I promise,' he said and she kissed him, and she knew. She took a step back, 'They're already here, aren't they? So... they told you it was me? That I'm the one taking people?'

Scott and the others came out of the shadows, 'We told him you're the one killing people.'

'Oh, that's right. Committing human sacrifices? What, cutting their throats? Yeah, I probably do it on my lunch hour. That way, I can get back to teaching high school English the rest of the day. That makes perfect sense,' she said with a mocking voice.

'Where's my dad?' asked Stiles as he couldn't take it anymore.

'How should I know? Derek, tell me you don't believe this,' she said and stepped closer to him, but he just looked cold.

'Do you know what happened to Stiles's father?' he asked.

'No.'

'Ask her why she almost killed Lydia,' said Scott.

'Lydia Martin? I don't know anything about that,' said the English teacher shaking her head.

'What about poisoning me and my granny through the summer or stabbing me just a few hours ago?' asked Nina pissed looking at the woman. She hated this. She hated when someone they knew ended up as the bad guy. She hated how betrayed it felt even if they weren't close. Not to mention she hurt Maria.

'What do you know?' asked Derek.

'I know that these kids, for whatever misguided reason, are filling your head with an absurd story. And one they can't prove, by the way,' she said determinate.

'What if we can?' asked Scott taking a step closer in front of Nina and Stiles revealing a small bottle in his hands.

'What is that?' asked Jennifer eyeing the item in his hands.

'My boss told me it's a poison and a cure... which means you can use it... and it can be used against you,' he said and opened the bottle throwing the content at her.

'Mistletoe?'

It reveal her truth self for a moment. She tried to leave, but Derek grabbed her by the neck. He had his claws prepared.

'Derek, wait, wait! You need me.'

'What are you?'

'The only person who can save your sister. Call Peter. Call him!' she said breathless.

'It's not good. She's in and out of consciousness. She's vomiting up black blood along with one other alarming substance,' said his uncle once he called him still holding her under her neck.

'Mistletoe.'

'How did you know that?'

He ended the call without a single word and brought Jennifer up from her feet while choking her with one hand.

'Derek. Derek, what are you doing?' demanded Scott taking a step closer.

'Her life... it's in my hands!' coughed Jennifer.

'Stop. Derek, stop!' called Stiles.

'Stilinski, you'll never find him,' said Jennifer looking at the boy as he looked worried that Derek might kill the only person who knew where his dad was.

'Derek. Derek!' shouted Scott and he let her fall to the ground.

'That's right. You need me. All of you,' she said smirking at them. Nina frowned at her. She didn't like this. This was Gerard, and Peter all over again. This was trouble. Big trouble.

DDDDDDDDDDDD

Clara rushed to the clinic, 'Did you get my message?' she asked the vet instantly handing him the wooden box.

He nodded and took it opening it and examining it for a moment, 'So we're sure, that Nina and Maria were both taking this at least for two months?'

'Maybe more, but Nina said she didn't have as much as Maria,' she said.

He took a bottle from his cabin and started to prepare a liquid of some sort, 'What about any symptoms?'

'Nina was hearing the five apparently,' admitted Clara and she saw how Deaton for a moment stopped and looked at her before he continued, 'What about Maria?'

'She couldn't tell apart from the fact that she swore she thought that Jennifer was me. They never talked about anything too serious, but we can't be sure. How would she even find out about Nina?'

'There are many ways to find out if you spent enough time looking, Clara,' he said and added the new liquid to some of the herbs.

The herbs got eaten a bit as the liquid touched them.

'What is that?' asked the nurse looking at the now damaged plants. Deaton looked at the liquid, 'A little something that might have saved Nina's life,' he said mysteriously, and Clara frowned, 'What?'

Deaton looked at her, 'Over the last couple of months I was giving several of bottles like these to Stiles to sneak them into Nina's cups whenever she was drinking something around him.'

Clara's eyes widened, 'Wait, what?' she asked stunned, 'Why?'

The vet smiled at her, 'Because it was the only way to for her not to get controlled by the Five.'

'I don't understand.'

The vet grabbed several small bottles from his cabin, 'Take these to Maria and let her drink as much as she can. I'm it should have a reversed affect.'

DDDDDDDDDDDD

Derek was driving the woman, 'You should know I'm not doing this because I have to. I want to. I could still run, and you wouldn't have an easy time stopping me. But I don't want your sister to die. I'm only doing what I had to do.'

'Shut up.'

'You need to hear the whole story, Derek. You need to know just how connected we really are,' she said.

'Stop talking,' he said coldly.

DDDDDDDDDD

Lydia's mom drove her home, 'Come on, I have some sleeping pills you can take a nap.'

Lydia nodded brushing her neck as if she still felt the wire around it.

Her mom brushed her back a bit, 'Hey, sweetie, you're fine. You're perfect, I promise.'

DDDDDDDDDD

They left Scott's bike behind and took the jeep.

Stiles shook his head, 'I don't know, something feels wrong about this. You know, we proved it to Derek, but she still had this look like it didn't matter. You know, like it was all still going according to plan. You saw it, didn't you?'

Nina looked at him, 'It's not just that it's the whole thing.' She looked outside. The storm didn't make the matters worse.

'Taking help from the enemy is never a good thing. Remember Deucalion last time?' she asked shaking her head, 'This gives me the chills.'

'We don't have a choice,' said Scott and she knew it was true, but still. She hated it.

Scott looked at Nina. He should have known it would end like this. They always got involved one way or another. He looked at Nina as she was nervously biting her lip in the back seat. God, it felt so long along when they were just the three of them like this. He already knew it would just get worse. It always did.

He looked outside remembering for a moment how just yesterday they were in their little world in his room on his bed watching a movie. He barely remember what it was about as he kept on looking at her and feeling how soft she was and how she fit against his shoulder as pressed against him like that. She smelled so good in his clothes. God, she always smelled so good, but when she then had his scent he was losing it. He never would have thought he would be the possessive time, but with her he was. With her he definitely was. He wanted to touch her so badly. He wanted to feel her against him like before making those noises that drove him crazy. He wanted to kiss her until she was breathless and bite every inch of her body. He knew he had to wait. He knew he broke the deal, but it was life or dead, but he would prove to her that he was right for her. That he was worth it. God, she was perfect in every way.

He watched as she put her hand gently on Stiles's shoulder, 'We're going to find him. Safe and alive and fine.'

Stiles let go of the wheel for a moment before he put his hand over hers. It was clear he was grateful for the gesture.

Scott looked at them fondly before they had to stop and deal with shit again.

Once they got there they all rushed out of the cars to the pouring rain hitting them hard.

'What's that?' asked Scott and Nina turned only to find Stiles with a bat in his hands.

'Seriously? Knife or a gun would have been better at this point.'

'Well, you got claws. You can suck energy, I got a bat,' said the boy before they got inside following Derek who was dragging Jennifer by the arm.

'Scott! Scott! What are you doing here? The hospital's evacuating,' said Scott's mom as she caught up to them confused by why there were there.

'We're here for Cora.'

'What, all of you?' asked his mom confused before she looked at Stiles oddly, 'Why does Stiles have my bat?'

Nina would have chuckled if it wasn't so serious, 'Mom, just trust me on this. You need to get out of here. Right now.'

Melissa sighed, 'The building is supposed to be clear in 30 minutes. We've got two ambulances that are coming back. One's 10 minutes out, the other's 20. Cora needs to be on one of those. They'll be picking up in the basement garage,' she told them and they all nodded.

'Got it.'

They all rushed to the elevator and Nina hit the button.

'You don't have to keep me on a leash, Derek. I'm going to help,' said the woman and Nina rolled her eyes.

'So you say.'

Jennifer turned to her and smiled, 'Tell me, did you have a nice nap?'

Nina frowned, 'Better the poison you've been giving me and Maria.'

She smirked, 'Hm, I bet. Did they show you something or tell you?'

'Like wouldn't know since you did that to me,' said Nina frowning at the woman.

'I didn't do anything to you, Nina,' she said and Derek pulled her arm a bit, 'Shut up.'

Jennifer shot him a look before she looked at the blonde again, 'I just triggered the Five's abilities which are growing in you,' she said.

'I said shut up,' repeated Derek.

'Whatever you saw. That's going to happen-'

Suddenly Jennifer was against the wall with a very upset looking Scott McCall. She swallowed hard. She wasn't expecting the young werewolves reaction, and she didn't liked to be surprised, 'Don't talk to her.'

He said it so slowly it made the whole place chill and Nina wondered if he could actually hurt the woman if she didn't stop.

He stepped away from her and Derek took her by the shoulder again.

Nina nodded at him gratefully before the door opened.

They went to Cora's room only to find it empty with a trail of black blood. Nina took the lead, 'Peter and the twins are there,' she said sensing them just as the door opened wide and the former alpha came through them to Derek and Jennifer's feet.

'We got a problem. Big problem.'

They all looked at the bounded Alpha Twins roaring at them.

Derek quickly shifted and went after them. Scott and Nina shared a look before they rushed to them and went to help him. Nina caught Derek as they threw him on the ground and helped him up just as they started to choke Scott. Stiles used the moment of chaos and got with Peter to Cora.

'Ethan, Aiden, stop! You don't know what you're doing.'

'All we want is her,' replied the merged twins. Everyone looked at Jennifer only to find her going into the elevator.

'No!' shouted Nina and rushed to her with her speed just as the door closed behind. She pressed the button back up, 'You're not going anywhere.'

Jennifer shook her head, 'I don't want to hurt you, Nina, but I will.'

'You already did,' said the succubus and they continued to stare at each other waiting for the other to move.

Nina heard the door open and saw how the woman tensed just as she sensed the energy coming down the hallway, 'So? Am I leaving you with them? Or are you coming back with me?'

Jennifer frowned at her and then looked behind her before she cursed and nodded.

Nina pushed the button just as a walking stick hit the wall next to the elevator.

'Close it!' shouted the Darrach. Nina started to push the button again and again.

'Close it!'

'I'm trying!'

The door almost closed, but Kali stopped it and started to open with. Nina watched as Jennifer's eyes went white for a moment and she hit the alpha with some energy wave knocking her to the ground.

Nina watched it before she looked at Jennifer.

Jennifer sighed and pressed herself against the elevator breathing hard, 'You need more power,' said the succubus, 'That's why the sacrifices.'

The woman chuckled, 'Yeah, sacrifices for power and powers to make a sacrifice is something we have in common, that and the fact that we were both betrayed by the people we thought loved us.'

Nina watched her, 'Why would you say that?'

Jennifer froze.

'Sacrifices for power. I didn't sacrifice my heart for power. I did for my kind,' she said slowly. Jennifer stood up.

'But I took power. I took energy to do it. I took from the tree.'

The elevator door opened and Jennifer looked at the girl clenching her hand in a fist before she went after her with some sort of needle again. This time Nina was ready. She twisted the woman's arm and threw her against the wall must like Scott did before crushing her in place.

'You run out quickly of your mojo, don't you bitch?' asked Nina.

She hissed, 'Don't you want to save your granny?'

'I think you helped enough.'

She chuckled, 'Oh right, the big badass succubus. Did it feel good when you finally killed Morrison?'

Nina grabbed her head and smashed it against the elevator, 'Don't test me.'

She closed her mouth, 'Your granny won't get better. I have been poisoning the both of you since summer, but you didn't get as much.'

'How will I save her?' asked the blonde, 'I'm not telling a damn thing until you get me to Derek.'

Nina watched her for a moment still holding her pinned against the wall before she grabbed her off of it.

'You should be happy about this. At least you won't get more blood on your hands,' she said and Nina tripped her a bit, 'Look at you all violent. You wonder sometimes, don't you? Is it me or is them? Am I still me?'

Nina didn't say anything and just dragged her faster.

DDDDDDDDDDDD

'Thank you, Ms. McCall,' said Deucalion as Melissa pulled his walking stick from the wall and he took it smiling at the woman.

'You're him, aren't you?' she asked breathing faster.

'Him?'

'The bad guy,' she said and he smiled, 'You have no idea.'

DDDDDDDDDDDD

Peter carried Cora to an empty room and the others followed.

'Where's the big guy?' asked Stiles looking around.

'He's close,' said the alpha checking the rooms around them listening carefully.

'What about Ms. Blake?' he asked once he noticed that she and Nina were gone, 'What do you mean? What does that mean? Like, she's gone? Scott, are you kidding me?' he shouted.

'Shh, quiet,' urged Derek.

'Me be quiet? Me, huh? Are you telling me what to do now? When your psychotic, mass murdering girlfriend... the second one you've dated, by the way... has got my dad somewhere, tied up, waiting to be ritually sacrificed?' he shouted at the useless alpha frustrated.

'Stiles, they're still out there,' said Scott nervously seeing his friend shouting at Derek. He was worried with Derek being pissed right now he might try and punch Stiles or something.

'And... and they want her, right? Which means now we don't have her either, so my dad and Cora are both dead!' he shouted at his face.

'Not yet,' said Scott and pulled him away, 'We'll figure this out. Is she really dying?' he asked and turned to Peter.

'She's definitely not getting any better.'

'There has to be something that we can do,'

Nina suddenly kicked the door opened and threw Jennifer on the ground in front of them.

Jennifer coughed, 'Bitch.'

'Takes one to know one,' replied the blonde before she looked at them, 'You guys good?'

They nodded, 'Except for Cora. We have to help her.'

'You can't. Only I can. I can save her, and I can tell you where Sheriff Stilinski is. But there is a pack of alphas in this hospital who want me dead. So I'll help you... but only when I'm out of here and safe. Only then.'

Derek threw a table over and rushed to her.

'Derek, wait!' Scott stopped him.

'She was trying to get out,' he said.

'I was trying to keep from getting killed. You can't blame me for that,' she said.

'Yeah, we should expect much given that you kill kids and folks to kill an alpha pack.' said Nina before she looked at them, 'By the way, she won't stop the killings. She needs all the sacrifices if she wants to kill them she needs all the sacrifices to get the power for that.'

'That's not true,' she snapped at the girl, 'I have another way.'

Stiles brushed his face, ':If you want to show you're one of the good guys, then heal her.'

'Not until I'm safe.'

'I'd like to volunteer a different method of persuasion. Let's torture her,' said Peter suddenly and as much as it disgust Nina to actually agree with him, she did. They needed to find the sheriff and save Cora, and she didn't trust the witch to fulfill her end of the bargain one bit.

'Works for me.'

'Um, can I have your attention? Mr. Deucalion... excuse me, just Deucalion...,' said Scott's mom suddenly and everyone looked at Scott startled and worried. Deucalion had his mom.

'Requests you bring the woman calling herself Jennifer Blake to the E.R. reception. Do this, and everyone else can leave. You have ten minutes.'

'He's not gonna hurt her,' said Jennifer, and Nina punched her as Derek said, 'Shut up.'

Jennifer glared at the blonde, 'He won't! Scott, you know why. Tell them it's true.'

'What does she mean?' asked Derek.

'You're not the only one he wants in his pack,' said the woman and slowly stood up glaring at Nina.

'Fuck that,' said Nina, 'I'm with Peter. Let's torture her.'

'What is it succubus girl? Not so innocent anymore. I heard the first slip is the hardest, but you already got yours.'

'Shut up!' shouted Scott just as Nina was about to tell her something back. The girl then looked at him and nodded.

Scott sighed and Jennifer continued, 'Deucalion doesn't just want an Alpha pack. He wants perfection. That means adding the rarest of alphas to his ranks.'

'A true Alpha. The kind that doesn't have to steal his power from another. One that can rise by the force of his own will. Our little Scott,' said Peter sounding oddly mocking and proud.

'It doesn't matter. We still need to get her out of here,' said Scott instantly. He didn't let the fear paralyze him like before when his mom was in danger. No, he would keep a clear head and figure this all out.

Stiles shook his head, 'Scott, your mom. I'm not sacrificing her for my dad, dude.'

Scott put his hand on his shoulder, 'My mom said there's one more ambulance coming in 20 minutes. And I don't think we've been here that long, so if we can get down to the garage, get to the last ambulance, we can get out of here. We're gonna get her,' he pointed at the darrach, 'out of here and she's gonna give him back.'

'The twins aren't gonna let us just walk out,' said Derek instantly watching the exchange between the best friends.

Scott shrugged, 'I'll distract them.'

'You mean fight them,' said Derek.

'Whatever I have to do,' he replied.

'Do you think you can knock them out?' he asked Nina, 'Take enough to knock them out?' he asked and Nina frowned, 'If you get me close. Did you notice how they were fighting me?'

Peter nodded, 'They made sure not to get close or touch you.'

'I'll help you.'

'Um, sorry, but I'm not going anywhere without you, Derek,' said Jennifer suddenly.

'I wonder why?' asked Nina crossing her arms, 'He seemed pretty fine about the torture part, not sure he still has a soft spot for you.'

Jennifer held her jaw tight while Nina watched her.

'I'll do it. But I'd prefer to be out there with an advantage.'

'An advantage like what? You mean like a weapon?' asked Stiles and Peter smirked, 'Something better than a baseball bat.'

They started to dug around the room when Nina moved closer to Scott, 'You know she's right. He won't hurt your mom. Not without losing you because of it.'

Scott nodded and she took his wrist, 'Nothing will happen to her.'

He looked her into the eyes, 'Can you do something for me?'

'Anything.'

Stiles noticed how Scott whispered something to Nina and she listened carefully before she nodded and smiled at him. He felt weird suddenly. He had felt that way for a while now, he just didn't really say anything, but he did. He felt left out...

He returned to his search.

'Yeah, well you're my king and I'm you're lionheart,' she said and Scott looked at her confused before he remembered it was from a song.

'Yeah, I guess you are.'

She chuckled, 'After everything we been through you still thinks there's something I wouldn't do for you?'

Scott watched her for a moment before he nodded, 'Same here, Nina.'

They smiled at each other and he linked their hands together. She was about to say that he lost the deal when Stiles called.

'Hey, wait. What about these?' he asked showing the defibrillator.

'Do you know how to use those?' asked Derek, and Stiles put them away.

'Epinephrine?' he asked looking at the bottle.

'That's only gonna make him stronger,' commented Derek.

'How strong?' asked Peter.

They decided who will go and who will stay before Nina suddenly grabbed Jennifer and took her energy.

'Let go,' said the woman but Nina grabbed her tightly until she almost lost consciousness.

'Better safe than sorry,' she winked at her and boasted as well walked to the werewolves. She stopped next to Stiles for a moment and nodded at him in a assuring way to tell him that it was going to be fine. He nodded back sharing her belief since he couldn't feel his own.

Peter Scott and Nina came out of the room, 'Damn, and I have my favorite pair of shorts and shirt on.'

'How strong? All right, boys. Let's rumble.' said Peter before they all attack the giant alpha.

DDDDDDDDDDDD

Melissa pulled the level and shut down the power in the hospital for good. 'Thank you. That was more than helpful.'

'What now? What do you want with me?' she asked looking at the werewolf with her heart in her throat.

'You? You're my gesture of goodwill,' he said with a creepy smile. She didn't like that one bit.

'What?' asked Melissa confused.

'Go find your son. Do yourself a favor, Melissa. Be careful out there,' he told her. She didn't have to be told twice although the last part felt almost like some sort of prophecy. She quickly rushed away from the roof to look for the others.

DDDDDDDDDDDDD

Stiles was nervously sitting down at the ambulance waiting for what will happen next losing his mind with the waiting, 'Okay, okay, okay. We're okay. We're all right. You okay? How you doing? Wh... why do you look like you're not breathing?' he asked suddenly as he noticed that her body was not moving. He moved closer to listen to her heartbeat.

'Because you aren't breathing, are you? Oh, no. Oh, God. Oh, no, no, no. Why are you not breathing? Come on. Okay, okay, okay. You can do this. Here we go, tilt the head. Fingers on the chin. Clear the throat,' he said looking inside, 'Great, nothing. I see nothing. Okay, all right, so, uh... just pinch the nose and blow. Oh, come on, Cora. Come on, Cora,' he said before he started to do mouth to mouth praying that he wouldn't lose her in this ambulance.

DDDDDDDDDDDDD

Jennifer said as she and Derek were stuck in the elevator, 'If you're thinking service hatch, they bolt from the outside, so you'd have to break it. All you'd end up doing is creating a lot of noise, telling them exactly where we are.'

'Kali already knows,' argued Derek.

'Not necessarily. She saw that we got in, but she might not know that we didn't get out.'

'Yeah, well, if I get through, then we can go to another floor,' said Derek.

'Or you'd end up fighting them alone in an elevator shaft. They'll rip my head off before you even have a chance to land a punch.'

'Then someone needs to get the backup generator running again,' he said annoyed and brushed his face. He pulled out his phone. He had a two text from Clara about that she was in the James, but she was going back to Deaton soon. He tensed. He didn't like the idea of her driving at the storm outside, but at least he knew she couldn't be hurt by the alphas or the darrach.

'Worried about your other girlfriend?' asked Jennifer and he frowned at her.

'It's alright. I knew what I was getting into. I saw how you look at her and how protective you are of each other. I thought it would be impossible to get in between you, but you're denial was perfect. Probably not easy to fall for your first love's best friend.'

'Don't talk about her,' he snapped at her and she nodded, 'I was considering her for healers though, but it would be too cruel. You've been through a lot.'

She went to touch him, but he grabbed her hand and stopped her. 'Don't.'

DDDDDDDDDDDDD

Cora's lips were so cold it was as if she was dead.

'Come on. Oh, come on, Cora. Come on, breathe. Come on, Cora, breathe. Oh! You know, next time I put my lips to your mouth, you better be awake,' he said as he finally got her to breath.

DDDDDDDDDDDDD

Scott and hurt Nina helped up seriously injured Peter, 'That shot didn't last very long. Those twins are really starting to piss me off.'

'How the hell are we supposed to get past them?' asked Scott and Nina hissed as when she put Peter down the wound on her side got bigger.

'Shit, Nina.'

'I'm fine,' said the blonde as he balanced her.

'Personally, I think if we keep letting them beat the living crap out of us, they'll tire and give up,' said the werewolves and the teens rolled their eyes before Scott touched her neck and gave her some energy to heal.

They heard the noise and quickly rushed to another room closing the door behind them. They were losing. Nina and Scott pressed against the door out of the view listening and sensing as the alpha passed them.

'Where to now?' asked the blonde just as Scott noticed the laundry elevator.

He looked at Nina, 'How about a swing?'

She blinked at him confused before in the next moment she was falling down the laundry elevator hoping she wouldn't scream.

She felt on Scott who chuckled, 'I only thought this happens in movies.'

She got off him, 'Ah, if only the circumstances were better.'

'Yeah, next time you're on top of me I hope you could stay a while.'

She chuckled and they quickly ran outside.

DDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Stiles looked at sleeping/unconscious Cora, 'You're pretty, you know that?'

He shook his head, 'That was stupid.'

He looked away before he looked at her again, 'You just hold on a little longer, okay? Trust me, if anyone's gonna get us out of this, it's Scott. Can't believe I just said that. You know, I actually used to be the one with the plan. Well, or at least a plan B. Now I don't know. Now I'm thinking maybe you were right. You know, maybe... maybe we are pretty much useless. Maybe all we really do is show up and find the bodies. I don't want to find my father's body. You know, you're a lot easier to talk to when you're completely unconscious. Not to mention that I feel a bit left out. Nina and Scott seemed like they're together a lot, and I love them. I swear I do. They're my best friends. I thought it was super annoying when they were ogling each other like love sick puppies, but this feels like I'm the one left alone now. I hate feeling like that. I lied to Nina. I lied to Nina through the whole summer about something I was doing. I'm doing it to protect and, but I can't tell her and she's not that great about lies, you see. She hates them actually. Uh, anyway, I'm not jealous or not happy for them. I am. I lost, but yeah, I would think it wouldn't change things. I would thing that we would still hung out all three of us. Maybe it's just a phase, but...' he stopped talking as he heard something. He saw the Alpha twins walk through the garage. He tried to calm down so they wouldn't heard his heartbeat when in a second Scott hit the door nearly giving him a heart attack.

'Stiles! Stiles, open the door!' he shouted.

'Sorry,' said Stiles and opened to allow Peter to get in.

'Where's Derek and Jennifer?'

'Stuck in an elevator,' said Nina.

'I have to go back for them and my mom.'

'Okay, two problems. Kali's got the keys to this thing, and I just saw the twins, like, 30 seconds ago.'

'Stay here. Nina?'

'I'm not letting you go alone. You're going I'm going,' she said and he nodded. There was no time for arguments. They looked at Stiles before they rushed to the inside again.

'You know how haunted houses are scary in movies?' asked Nina as they walked.

'Yeah?' asked Scott.

'Hospitals are fucking worse.'

He chuckled at her before he noticed her side, 'Jesus, Nin, come here.'

She looked at him, 'Scott, I'm fine.'

'Come on, just a little bit,' he said and took her hand linking their fingers together. She watched him. He had so strong yet soft hands. She liked the contrast of their skins and how she always seem to find right in against him. They both did. They were wired that way. Nina bit her lip feeling his delicious energy before she took a step closer and put her hands on his cheeks.

He blinked at her before she kissed him tendering. He immediately even if a little bit confused put his hands on her back bringing her closer to him enjoying the softness of her lips and the kiss itself. It made him want to melt against her. Nina James was a pro at kissing because even with killing alphas, a missing friend and danger everywhere she could kiss him so lovingly and fondly causing him to forget about the whole world and want to press her against the wall. She probably didn't even mean it with a kiss like that.

Once she finished the kiss she took her time pulling at his lower lip definitely making him hornier than ever. He swallowed blinking at her confused trying to calm himself down.

Nina smiled a bit before she said, 'I just left like today deserved something nice to happen,' she said and nodded to herself, 'This was nice.'

He brushed back a bit closing his eyes and breathing her in, 'No, this was way more than Nice.'

Once he opened his eyes Nina pressed their foreheads together and nodded, 'We're fine.'

'We're alive, so yeah, we're good.'

They stepped away and started to walk.

'Wait,' she stopped him, 'I know where Melissa is. I can get her, but the twins are also ahead.'

He nodded, 'Do it.'

She nodded as well and quickly ran. He heard noise and knew they must have spotted her. He went to her aid, but she must have just thrown something and ran while they alphas took him under the neck.

'Where is she? We're trying not to hurt you.'

'Try harder,' said Scott choking.

':Hey! I'd like to try something,' said Melissa suddenly as Nina brought her with her and she used the defibrillator on the alphas. They fall to the ground releasing Scott.

'Whoa, Ms. McCall,' she said looking at them shocked. 'Sweetheart, get up! Come on,' she said and got him.

DDDDDDDDDDDDDD

'Anything? Derek, I know what you're thinking... that I'm using you, that everything that has happened between us is a lie, or that I'm evil. A bitch. But I hope you're not thinking the most superficial thought... "Is that her real face?" "The slashed, mutilated face revealed by the mistletoe.. Is that what she really looks like?"' said Jennifer and Derek almost wondered if he should punch her to shout her up already. He couldn't believe it. He got fooled once again. Again.

'Julia Baccari. That was my name.'

'I don't care.'

'I guess I should have changed it to something with different first letters. I think I read somewhere that people always pick aliases that are subconsciously derivative of their original name. It's a way of not completely letting go of your identity, since your name is so tied to your sense of self. Do you know what else is? Your face. The one that's supposed to be staring back at you in the mirror. Not some hacked up atrocity you can't even recognize,' said Jennifer and Derek kept on looking straight in front of him not daring to meet her eyes, 'I still don't care.'

'But I bet you're curious. I bet you wonder exactly what happened,' she said.

'You were an emissary. They tried killing you along with the rest of the pack. Mystery solved.'

Jennifer nodded, 'I was Kali's emissary. And I was the one she couldn't kill.'

'For years, the Nemeton's power was virtually gone, like the dying ember of a burned out fire. But a few months earlier, something happened that caused that ember to glow a little brighter. Something that gave it a spark of power again. The sacrifice of a virgin. You didn't know what you were doing back then, but killing Paige in the root cellar, sacrificing her there, gave power to the Nemeton. You gave it power again. You gave me power. Just enough to hold on to life a little longer. Long enough to be found,' she said and Derek froze remembering that.

'When I healed I decided to avenge myself. I was young and unsure so I decided to try it first and see what will happen.'

Derek still didn't look at her and she smirked, 'Do you remember Clara's daddy? The one that beat her all the time?' she asked and Derek frowned ready to tell her not to say her name when she said suddenly.

'I killed him.'

He looked at her and she smirked, 'I was surprised that Clara didn't recognize me, but then again my face was ruined and a voice can chance in years. Plus she wasn't herself then much.'

'What are you talking about? When?'

'When she got to Eichen house after Paige's dead. We were roommates for a while.'

DDDDDDDDDDDD

'He just let me go, said it was a gesture of goodwill. No other reason,' as she walked with the teens.

'He had to have a reason. I don't think he does anything without a reason,' he said and looked at Nina who looked just as nervous.

'Well, if that means I should continue to be profoundly terrified, then don't worry about it. I got that covered,' she said as they walked.

'Don't worry, we won't let him get to you again.'

Melissa smiled at the blonde before she hugged her a bit. Scott couldn't help feeling better as he knew his two most important women were with him.

Nina suddenly sighed, 'Isaac, Allison and Chris.'

They turned the corner and there they were with Argent pointing the gun at him.

'Hi there.'

DDDDDDDDDDDD

Coach looked outside, 'Whoa, that's one hell of a storm coming.'

Maria looked at the small bottle Clara just brought her. She was nervous played with it for a while now.

'Bobby, can you sit down for a moment, please.'

The man blinked at her before he sat down, 'Sure, you feeling better?'

She smiled, 'I wanted to talk to you about something.'

DDDDDDDDDDDD

'You know mistletoe is important to druids, but do you know the myth of why people kiss under mistletoe?' she asked after he managed to shut her up for a while after throwing the bomb about Clara on him.

'No,' he said.

'It's a Norse myth. Baldur, the son of Odin, was the most beloved by the other gods, so much that they wanted to protect him from all of the dangers in the world. His mother, Frigg, took an oath from fire and water, metal, stone, and every living thing, that they would never hurt Baldur. At a gathering, they tested him. Stones, arrows, and flame were all hurled at him. Nothing worked. But there was one God who wasn't so enamored of Baldur. The God of mischief, Loki. Loki discovered that Frigg had forgotten to ask mistletoe, a tiny, seemingly harmless plant. And completely overlooked. Loki fashioned a dart out of mistletoe, and it killed Baldur. Frigg was heartbroken. She decreed that mistletoe would never again be used as a weapon and that she would place a kiss on anyone who passed under it. So now we hang mistletoe underneath our door during the holidays... so that we will never overlook it again. We were the overlooked... the emissaries. It was a mistake Deucalion and the alphas should never have made, because I made an oath of my own. From virgins and warriors, from healers, philosophers, and guardians, to loan me their power so that I could teach these monsters that their monstrous actions would never be overlooked.'

'You killed innocent people,' he said.

'So have you. I know the real color of your eyes, Derek. And I know what it means. And your saint Clara? She kept going on and on about how much she wanted her father dead. I'm not asking you to save just my life. I'm asking you to save everyone they'll never hurt again.'

'You can't beat them,' he told her immediately.

'Are you sure about that? Boyd asked you right before he died, what happens to a werewolf during a lunar eclipse? You didn't get the chance to tell him, but you know, don't you? What happens, Derek? During the total lunar eclipse?' she asked and Derek looked at her, 'We lose all our power.'

DDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

'Don't hate me,' said Isaac suddenly as he got Nina out of her class for some reason. It took her a moment to sense Allison's approaching energy. She would have left, but Isaac blocked her way, 'Please, Nina. She's really sad.'

Nina raised her brows at him, 'How would you know? What are you friends now?' she asked looking at him and he swallowed, 'Uh, just talk please?'

Nina sighed as Allison walked to her slowly with a very sheepish look on her face, 'I want you to know that I know I messed up, and that I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner.'

Nina crossed her arms. She didn't say anything, but since she didn't walk away Allison took it as a good sign, 'I didn't know for long. I found a video that Anna left for my dad about you.'

This surprised Nina, but she still didn't say anything.

Allison closed her eyes before she continued, 'The reason I also didn't want to tell you is because there are things I didn't want you to know. Things Anna said.'

Nina blinked seeing that Allison really looked devastated, 'When I found out it all clicked, you know. I was shocked, but the more I thought about it the more it made sense. The fact that you never affected dad, Kate, me or Gerard. The fact that dad tried too hard to keep you away from all that. Why Gerard wanted you dead so much. I was shocked and I hated myself for it,' Allison swallowed hard feeling tears gathering in her eyes, 'I ruined your life. I almost got you killed and you've been nothing, but a friend to me. I wanted us so bad to be friends again, and we were getting there, and I just didn't want you to hate me again which I guess you do anyway. I just...I just didn't want you to see the video. It should have been your choice not mine, and I'm sorry, and if you don't want us to be friends anymore...we don't have be. I won't force you anymore.'

Nina watched her for a moment before she uncrossed her arms.

'When did you found out?' asked Nina and Allison sighed, 'After we came from France. I was snooping through dad's things and there was this USB drive I played it and...'

'What did she say? Anna, I mean,' asked Nina almost afraid to do so but she had to know. If it was about her she had a right to know.

'Anna said that faked her dead with Morrison, and that she then convinced him to kill the other succubus so you would be the one who would give your heart to the ground. That you could be very dangerous.'

'How dangerous?' asked Nina, and Allison swallowed, 'She said that you might be controlled by the five. She thought that they could be doing something to you and that they could control you without knowing it.'

'Am I?' she asked worried.

Allison quickly shook her head, 'No. I checked. Whatever you were doing you're not, but I can't tell you that.'

'Why the hell not you just said-'

'If you knew what it was they could maybe control you again,' said Allison hoping it wouldn't upset Nina.

The blonde looked away, 'Whatever is that they were doing with, I'm not doing it anymore?'

Allison nodded, 'Yeah, I checked. You're not. I promise. I won't let them control you or hurt you.'

Nina swallowed, 'What if...what if I hurt someone?' she asked stepping closer to the brunette. Allison looked her into the eyes. She knew this was a test, but it didn't matter she knew the answer, 'You're my sister. You're my best friend. I don't care. I protect you and help you anyway possible there's nothing I wouldn't do for you.'

Nina checked to see if Isaac was done before she stepped even closer to Allison, 'What if I already someone? I feed on Lydia when she bleeding in the hospital after the winter formal. I hurt Scott plenty of times. I had that freakout when I found out you and Scott had sex...,' she looked away before she looked into her eyes, 'I kill-'

'I know,' she said and Nina's eyes widened.

'I did some digging,' she shrugged her shoulder, 'I knew he wouldn't kill himself, and I saw how angry dad was... he was angry like that when he saw that I almost crossed the line so...I know.'

Nina waited before she shook her head, 'But you never-'

'It doesn't matter to me. For all I care, that piece of garbage can burn in hell. I would kill him myself. I don't care. You're my friend.'

Nina watched her. She sort of got why Scott accepter her. He didn't know. He probably didn't understand it. Allison was trained to take a thing like that as an act of predator and eliminate the threat. Still, she didn't care.

Nina looked at her, 'If I do something,' she closed her eyes shaking her head.

'I won't let you do anything, and I help you,' said Allison determinate.

Nina reached for her and pulled her close. Nina remembered to the time she first hugged Allison. She remembered thinking that after Scott, Allison was her favorite second hugger. Maybe it was a family thing. It definitely felt like that with all those times they screw each other over and forgave each other. Yeah, definitely a family thing.

'If nothing else we got the same taste in men.'

Allison chuckled and they leaned away from each other to look at each other, 'Sisters, huh? That might need some getting used to.'

Allison nodded, 'Yeah.'

They hugged again. If only one of the Argents would accepted her as a supernatural. She was glad it was Allison.

They all gathered around to discuss what was happening. 'So then they're essentially trapped?' asked Chris as they started to talk. Nina avoiding his gaze as much as possible.

'Yeah, right. There's no way of getting them out without turning the power back on.'

'But wait, wait, wait, if the power's back on, they're gonna hear the elevator moving, right? And they'll be on Jennifer and Derek as soon as it stops. We can't get in a fight with them,' said Isaac.

'You've got us now,' said Chris.

'It's too much to risk. They want her dead, and if she dies, there's nothing that we can do for Stiles's dad or Cora,' said Scott.

'I don't even think I know which teacher this is.'

'She's... she's the one with the brown hair. She's kind of hot. No, it's just... just an observation,' he said as he saw the look everyone was looking at him after the comment.

Nina rolled her eyes, 'She the one that was in the class when the birds came through the window...' She looked over at Allison before she reached for her hair and put it in front of her face thinking, 'How good are you at running in high heels?'

Allison blinked, 'Good enough. Why?'

'Text Derek,' she told Isaac, 'Tell him we're going to need Blake's boots.'

DDDDDDDDDDDDD

Chris watched the blonde as she walked talking to Allison. His two daughters. His two daughters. His blood. He swore to protect her and he hurt her by the lies. He knew he couldn't deny or cover it anymore, but he still felt like he wanted to. Not because he was ashamed of her or hated the fact that she was supernatural, but because he didn't know how to be her father. He raised Allison. He knew her inside and out. Nina was new. He had no memories with her, yet she didn't feel like a strange. Yet, he would risk his life for her in a heartbeat. Yet, he would take away her pain if he could. She looked so much like Anna, but she was nothing like her. She was a good person and a good kid and she seriously nothing like Anna. Anna was a player from the start. She had an agenda like everyone else. Nina was a good kid. He remembered the first time he saw her. She came to the house and helped Allison unpack. She was smiling politely, and despite the shorts she looked nothing like others of her kind. She just wanted in and he couldn't help thinking than that she looked like Anna. He couldn't believe he didn't recognize her. He had made sure she was fine over the summer, but now? She and Allison were both mixed in things again. He couldn't protect Allison who was living with him, he definitely wouldn't protect Nina. He needed to talk to her. He knew he did.

He hesitantly walked up to her. Nina turned around crossing her arms, 'Now's not the right -'

'Later, please, I want explain everything.'

Nina nodded, 'Later.'

They all got ready for action.

DDDDDDDDDDDDDD

It worked they fooled the alphas and got Cora to the car. As Stiles was running he noticed something. He suddenly noticed the form hanging in the ambulance.

Parent or guardian.

'No,' he breathed out and ran.

'Scott! Scott, wait!' he shouted as he saw Scott looking down at Derek in the empty elevator.

Nina gave him so energy, 'What the hell?'

'She doesn't want law enforcements. She was wants parents. Parent or guardian!' he shouted at Nina and her eyes widened as she realized that she wrote guardian as well for Maria.

They quickly went after Scott.

DDDDDDDDDDDD

'Mom! Mom!' shouted Scott. No, this was not happening. She didn't just got taken. Not his mom. Not both Stiles's dad and his mom. Not both of them.

'They're gone. Guardians, Scott. If you were with me, I could've told you what it meant. I could've warned you. Let me help you, Scott. Let's help each other. You help me catch her, and I'll help you get your mother and Stiles's father back,' said Deucalion once he was at the roof.

Scott suddenly was seven years old and after his parents' divorce, he was alone for the night and had no idea what to do. Sure, he wasn't alone. He had his babysitter, but he was terrified. His mom was in work, but he had this terrifying feeling like she was never coming back or something. What if she wasn't? He couldn't imagine his life without his mom, he just couldn't.

He tried to make it right. He picked Jennifer over Deucalion and got his mom taken along with Stiles's dad.

He was so stupid. He tried so hard and he still messed up. He had no choice.

DDDDDDDDDDDDD

'Scott. Scott, don't do this. Don't go with him,' called Stiles as he saw his best friend walking away with the alpha.

Scott turned around his eyes were shining with tears he didn't let out, 'I don't know what else to do.'

'No, there's g... Scott, there's got to be something else, okay? We always... we always have a plan B,' he said, but Scott shook his head, 'Not this time, Stiles.

'Scott,' said Stiles feeling like crying as well.

'I'm gonna find your dad. I promise you this. I will find him, and bring him back. I'm sorry, I pushed you to tell him. I shouldn't have. He shouldn't have gone involve and I promise I will make it right. I will bring the both of the home.'

'Scott!' shouted Stiles desperate.

He stopped for a moment and waited. Scott looked at Stiles and Nina as Deucalion waited for him.

'Trust me?' he called at Nina. She answered in a heartbeat.

'Always.'

Nina took Stiles hand, 'Let him. We'll figure this out.'

Stiles tried to run, but she stopped him with tears of her own, 'Come on. We'll figure this out, Stiles.'

Stiles looked at her before he pressed his forehead against hers and hugged her trying desperately not to cry. Nina held him hoping it was some comfort knowing a few things about anything the only living relative in danger.

'It'll be fine. I promise,' she didn't know. She fucking didn't know, but if she would promise it and make it all better at least a bit, she would. She would lie for her best friend to make him feel better in that moment as he was holding her so tight as if without her his world would fall apart. Her heart in the ground bled for him a bit.

DDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Melissa woke up tight up.

'Hey. Hey. You all right?' asked the sheriff as she was sitting opposite to him. She nodded, 'Oh, God, where are we?'

'I don't know. Looks like a root cellar to me, but, uh... she called it something different. She called it a... a Nemeton,' he said and they looked around still hearing the storm outside.
