(Bella's Pov – Hale/McCall House – 9:15 PM)

I was sitting on the bed beside Scott as Derek went to check on the others. Abi and Alda were fast asleep which took some weight off my shoulders. I didn't want my babies to wake up to the sounds of screaming and yelling. I closed my eyes as I leaned my head back against the headboard listening to Scott's steady heartbeat. It was soothing after almost losing him and losing Allison. Issac still hasn't spoke which worried me because I didn't know if Allison was his mate or not. Pushing those thoughts to the back of my mind, I opened my eyes to see the door open and Deucalion walking in. His eyes went to Scott then back to mine.

"Yes?" I asked raising a brow at him. He seems to disappear whenever the fighting starts. I thought with narrowed eyes.

"I want to speak to you." He told me as he walked over and peered at Abi and Alda. "They are beautiful. Just like their mother." Deucalion looked back to me. "What do plan to do if Kate Argent shows up?" He smiled as he cocked his head to the side.

I growled but not loud enough to wake Scott or alert Derek. "Kill her." I spat at him as I felt tense as he asked such a question. "Why do you ask?"

"I know you've noticed I've disappeared during the fights, haven't you?" Deucalion smiled as if letting me in on something. "There is a reason for that. I was trailing someone who is heading this way. She has a big grudge on Derek and Scott because of what Peter did." I suddenly understood.

"Derek and Scott told me that Kate was de..ead..." I trailed off as I remembered the conversation with Derek's mother. "Shit." I closed my eyes for a moment. "When will she arrive?" Scott's breathing, nor hear beat, hadn't changed for which I was glad. He was still sleeping.

"Little under an hour." Deucalion grinned as his arms were behind his back, standing at the end of the bed. "Just remember, she'll wait til Derek is alone before she tried to attack him or Scott." With a wink, he turned and headed out the door.

I sighed as I leaned back against the bed. It was then Scott got up and turned towards me with a smirk on his face. I knew then he wasn't asleep but pretended because he didn't want to alert Deucalion or myself. I narrowed my eyes at him but he just smiled wider as he pushed himself up and looked at me.

"Are you really going after her?" Scott whispered as he looked at me, rubbing the back of my hand with his thumb.

I nodded cutting my eyes away. "If I have to, in order to keep you and Derek safe." I closed my eyes for a few moments. "Come on we need to speak with the..."

It was at that time I heard a loud scream coming from the direction of the school. I knew instantly who it was because there was only one person that could scream that loud for any supernatural person to hear. My eyes darted to Scott's, he nodded, which caused me to jump out of bed and rushed down stairs with him hot on my tail. Alice was waiting for me at the bottom with Jasper, Rosalie and Emmett. She nodded towards the living room while she breezed past me upstairs with Rosalie trailing after her. I knew then they would be staying behind in case someone or something came for the girls. I didn't pay them anymore attention as I hurried into the living room when I heard a loud growl. I was greeted by Derek, Aiden and Issac having a stand off. I narrowed my eyes as I moved to beside my mate.

"Issac?" I asked with a growl. "Aiden, what's going on?" They both looked at me.

"That was Lydia's scream." Aiden snarled as his eyes flashed. Ethan was trying to calm him down but it wasn't working. "I need to go get her."

Issac shook as his eyes kept flashing. "That bastard killed Allison." I could tell his wolf was close to the surface. "I'll kill 'em!" He roared as he charged but I tossed him back. "Let. Me. By."

"Enough!" Derek and Scott snarled at my sides as I flashed my eyes towards Issac and Aiden. "Those that were hurt will only be a liability if you go with them to get Lydia." Scott said as he moved to a couch. "Even I'm staying behind." His eyes went to Stiles.

"Stiles' needs to go." Devin whispered as he sat beside Bree and Seth. "I've seen what is going to happen. Stiles, Leah, Bella, Kira, Ethan and Derek needs to go." He looked at me.

"I'm going." Chris said standing up his eyes hard, hiding what emotions I knew were running high. "It's the least I can do for that thing taking one of Allison's friends." He looked to Derek. "Do you still have the container that held your mother's claws?"

Derek frowned but nodded. "Yeah, why?"

"When Allison," Chris cleared his throat. "Issac and myself were at the house, I was looking through my books and found something that said the magic of the Nemeton would be able to hold the Dark Kitsune as soon as he was Changed." Chris then looked to me. "I think that's where you come in. You will need to bite the Kitsune Stiles for you to change him. His blood and your toxins will destroy one another which will destroy the physical body that the Kitsune has created."

"What then?" Scott asked looking from Chris to Derek.

Derek was going to say something when another scream sounded. My eyes snapped to Derek then Issac as he darted out the door followed by Aiden. I hissed as I took off after them, with Leah and Stiles following behind me. I didn't say anything as I raced after Aiden and Issac because we had a plan to get rid of the kitsune once and for all but if they rush ahead then all our plans would fall to the side, ineffective. I kept sniffing the air, only to find that Issac and Aiden were running in the same direction close together. It was long before a large silverish wolf appeared with Stiles on the back, holding onto the fur. I nodded to the both of them as I turned my head in front of me, seeing if I could spot Aiden or Issac. I knew that if Ethan and Kira were following that they were with Derek finding the cylinder.

I couldn't remember where it was placed but I do know it was in the house somewhere. Pulling my mind back to the present, I noticed that the trees were getting thinner. I cut my eyes to Stiles to see him point slightly towards the right. Leah changed directions and so did I. The scent of Lydia and the Dark Kitsune were getting stronger and stronger as we raced towards the location. I listened to the woods around me to see if I could hear Issac or Aiden but all I could hear was silence which I took as a bad omen. As the trees started to thin faster, I noticed that I still couldn't see Issac or Aiden. I knew then that they had went on into the place where Lydia was being kept. I heard Leah growl only to see that Aiden and Issac were fighting the other two Oni.

"Stay here." I ordered Leah.

I darted forward to push Aiden out of the way as the Oni thrusted his sword forward, piercing my side. I howled in pain then spun around punching the Oni in the gut sending him flying backwards. It seemed I was fast enough to touch them before they disappeared. It was then I heard Issac scream out in pain. I spun around to see that he had a deep gash on his back. I snarled rushing forward and hitting the Oni as if we were playing football. Both of us went down but only I ended on the ground as the damned thing disappeared then reappeared standing. I got up as quickly as I could and turned to see that Aiden was standing over Issac as the boy layed on his stomach, the gash on his back oozing black mist. I was just about to take on the other last Oni's when I heard a howl in the distance. My head snapped to the sound, as I realized that it was Derek and Ethan letting us know they were on their way. I grinned as I cut my eyes back to the spot where the Oni stood only to find they had disappeared.

"Shit." I hissed as I turned my eyes to Aiden. "Take Issac back to the house. GO!" I heard Issac growl.

"I can still help!" Issac told me as he tried to stand but fell on his face.

I only snorted. "Yeah, and I'm a fairy." I snarled to Aiden. "Go."

Aiden's eyes flashed gold before he picked up Issac, slung him over his shoulder, then took off back towards the house. It was then Leah came out of the trees, Stiles on her back, growling. I then heard someone clapping behind me. Turning slowly, I spotted the other Stiles standing at the top of the bleachers, alone. I sniffed the air only to find that Lydia was no where near. That meant that the Dark Kitsune had her some where else. I saw Leah nod as she growled deeply in her throat as she took off towards the School. I smirked when the Dark Kitsune's smile fell as his eyes narrowed at me.

"Where are those two going?" He demanded as he started to walk down the bleachers. "I wanted more then just one to play with."

I smirked as I shifted to my werepire form. "I think you'll have enough of a challenge with me." I cracked my knuckles, feeling one of the pulls in my chest growing lighter.

"You wont be fighting me." The Dark Kitsune smirked. "I still have two Oni that would like to play." He snapped his fingers causing two Oni to appear at his side.

I growled low in my throat. If he wanted me to play with them I would. I pulled a broken arrow out of my back pocket. I had scooped it up on the way here and held it like a dagger, the silver tip arrow head pointed away from me as I kept my eyes on my targets. When the first Oni disappeared in a black mist, I listened for the subtle whisper in the air as to where he would appear. All the while keeping my eyes on the other Oni that stood beside the Dark Kitsune. When I caught movement out of the corner of my eye and a hiss on the wind, I ducked swinging my arm around and embedded the tip of top of the arrow head into the leg of the Oni. There was a hiss on the wind as the clothes fluttered to the ground as I looked over to see that the kitsune was rather pissed. I smirked as I stood the piece of arrow still in my hand as I watched the other Oni moved towards me. Just as he was about to reach me, the damn thing disappeared but when he reappeared, I was sliced across the back with his blade.

I snarled as I dropped to my knees as I almost lost grip on the arrow. My eyes scanned the clearing only to see that Noshiko had arrived and was battling the Oni. I took a deep breathe as I turned my eyes towards the Dark kitsune. A snarl appeared on my face as I bared my fangs. I could feel that something was keeping the wound from healing but I still had enough energy to take on the little bastard. I was on my feet in an instant and ready to fight the Kitsune when he smirked and pointed towards where I knew the Oni and Noshiko were fighting. I cut my eyes towards them just in time to see the Oni slice her in the arm and then cut her side. She fell to her knees in an instant. While my mind wasn't working, my instincts took over as I flung the broken arrow towards the Oni.

Noshiko stared with wide eyes as the silver arrow head embedded itself into the back of the Oni's head. The eyes flashed once before it disappeared along with its clothes. I turned to the Dark kitsune to see that its eyes were almost like black and gray swirling together. A sneer was present on his face as he cut his eyes between Noshiko and myself. I just smirked as his eyes locked with mine. There was a flash of something in the kitsune's eyes but as quickly as it came, it went.

"Guess you need some more body guards." I sneered as I stood straight even with the wound on my back.

The Dark Kitsune smirked. "I only used them until I was able to gain enough power." He said with an air of confidence. "and now that I have enough power. I don't need them."

"Yeah you will." Derek's voice came from behind me. "Because this is the last time you will ever see the light of day."

I darted my eyes towards my mate as Ethan held the cylinder. Kira was over by her mother but Chris wasn't present but I then heard a heart beat coming from the tree line which meant he was hiding in case we needed the arrows. Kira caught my eyes for a split second as she nodded. I could only guess that the nod meant that Aiden was able to get Issac back to the house or they had found Lydia, or both. When I smelled something else on the wind, I turned to see that the Kitsune was staring at me with an odd look on his face. It was then I felt something poking around inside my head. Without a second thought, I threw up my mental shield glaring at the Dark Kitsune.

"My my..." 'Stiles' spoke with a curious tone. "You seem to have a way of drawing supernatural beings to you." His eyes raked over my form. "Once I dispose of these creatures, I might just allow you to live. I need something to keep myself occupied besides causing havoc." I hated the gleam in the Kitsune's eyes but Derek seemed to hate it more because of the fierce growl that echoed through the Lacrosse field.

"Sorry, there Evil." I chuckled letting it go in one ear and out the other.He's just trying to rile you up. Don't let it work. Stick to the plan.~ I told Derek through our link as I spoke to the Kitsune. "I have two mates already and don't need a third." I saw Derek give me a curt nod as his eyes were dark red as he stared at the kitsune.

"You wont have any mates when I get through with them." The Kitsune laughed as he disappeared from in front of us.

When I heard Derek grunt, I turned around to see that the Kitsune had appeared behind Derek and kicked him in the back. Ethan was about to move when I shook my head as I rushed towards my mate and the creature that was trying to kill him. The kitsune must have heard or smelled me coming because before I could reach him, he disappeared again. This time however, I was sent flying backwards, landing on my back across one of the metal rails, that went along the side of the stairs. A whimper forced it's way out of my throat but when I heard Derek howl along with Ethan, I forced myself to open my eyes. What I saw took my breathe away, the dark Kitsune was holding Ethan by his throat, about three feet off the ground as Derek layed off to the side with five large gashes across his stomach.

I then noticed the same black mist rising from their wounds along with Noshiko's and mine as well. Locking eyes with my mate, I saw him open the cylinder as he layed on his side, facing away from the kitsune. I looked back only to see said person staring at me with a wide grin on his face. I didn't know why, but a chill ran down my spine and I knew it wasn't good. I started to walk towards the kitsune that looked like Stiles, my legs feeling rather weak but I knew what had to be done. I bared my fangs as I felt my anger fuel my body with adrenaline. Yet before I could make a move, 'Stiles' was gone from my sight. With the change in the air, I was able to duck barely in time to dodge a swipe from the kitsune. I placed my hand quickly and kicked out with both feet.

Sending the fucking bastard flying towards the stands on the side of the Lacrosse field. I smirked when his back landed on the other rail on the stands. I knew now that his back would be hurting just like mine. I didn't allow him anytime to recover as I lunged towards him and grabbed him by the foot and sent him sailing through the air, back towards Derek and the container we would be burying this fucker in. I could hear heart beats coming closer but I didn't pay them any attention as I felt blood trickle down from the wounds I received. As soon as 'Stiles' fell to the ground, I pounced on him. I secured his hands with both of mine, straddling his waist then bite down as hard as I could on his shoulder. I pushed as much venom I had in the bite then pulled myself away before I drank any of his blood. As soon as I realized what I did, I looked over at Derek, who was crawling towards the thrashing body of the Dark Kitsune.

I watched in shock as the body the kitsune copied turned to ash and a single black fly came out of the ashes. Derek captured the fly in the container as he stood on his shaky legs. His eyes met mine as he stumbled over to me. I didn't wait for his hand as I got to my feet. Looking at him, holding my side. I could see the worry in his eyes as he stood there but neither of us said anything as I walked closer and put my free arm around him, nuzzling into his neck and breathing his scent in. My eyes closed for a few seconds before I remembered Noshiko, Issac, Lydia and Stiles. Pulling back and opening my eyes, I saw Derek stare down at the container that held what was left of the Dark Kitsune. When I was about to open my mouth, Derek looked at me taking my hand in his.

"I'm going to bury this at the Nemeton." He told me as he kissed my knuckles. "I want you to check on Lydia and Stiles. I'll meet you back at the house." Derek smiled as he shifted the cylinder container in his arm. "I promise I'll come back for you."

With that Derek turned and headed into the forest. I frowned but pushed the bad feeling out of my mind. I needed to find Lydia, Leah and Stiles. I would then go home and check on Scott and Issac. However, as I followed Leah and Stiles scents, the uneasy feeling wouldn't leave me. Shaking my head, I entered one building and heard voices coming from down the stairs. I frowned as I headed down stairs, shifting my eyes that way I could see. The lights were off and I could only wonder who Lydia or Stiles could see. Although once upon a time, I was also human but it seemed like a lifetime ago with everything that has happen. If someone would have told me a year ago that I would be mated to two guys that are werewolves and that I would be a hybrid of a werewolf and vampire along with twin girls, I would have told them they were crazy.

"Stiles can you hear me?" Leah's voice sounded strained.

I picked up my pace as I made it down the stairs and through a door only to see that Lydia and Leah were fine but Stiles seemed to be passed out. I hurried to his side and closed my eyes to concentrate on his heart beat. I could hear it but it was faint. Hissing under my breathe, I looked up towards Leah noticing that she was naked.

"Are you two ok?" I asked Lydia and Leah.

"Yes." Lydia nodded as she looked down at Stiles. "Is he ok?"

Leah frowned as she looked down at her mate. "I...I..."

"He'll be fine." I answered for her. "Why don't you change into your wolf form? And Lydia and I will held get Stiles on your back."

"I even found shoe laces to tie his hands together to keep him from falling off and hurting himself." Lydia popped up as she held up Stiles shoe laces, with a smirk.

Leah sighed but nodded. "I hope Deaton is still at the house." She whispered as she transformed into her wolf form.

I chuckled as Lydia stared at Leah with awe as I lifted Stiles, with a oddly healed rib, onto Leah's back. "Lydia, you can tie him at any time." I told the other girl. "I know that I want to get home as soon as possible. I broke my rib and it didn't heal properly." I winced as I took another breathe.

~You should have been careful.~ I heard Leah say inside my mind through the shared link she has with Jake.

I just snorted as Lydia finished tying Stiles hands to secure him on Leah's back. I stood back with my hand clutching my side as I watched Lydia finish. As soon as Lydia patted Leah on the shoulder, letting her know she was done, Leah was gone out the door and up the stairs. I just grinned as I leaned my head back against the wall and closed my eyes for a moment.

"Are you ok?" I jumped hearing Lydia asked me a question.

I blinked a few times looking at the girl around the same age as I was. "I'm fine, thanks." I cringed as I straightened. "I want to get home to see if Derek made it back yet."

"Why?" Lydia asked as she allowed me to place an arm around her shoulder to lean on her.

"He took the cylinder to the Nemeton to bury." I told her as if it didn't matter then I remembered something.

Kate was on her way and Deucalion said she would be here around 10:30. I gritted my teeth as I jerked my arm out from around Lydia and looked at my watch. It was almost 1:00 AM. Without saying anything to Lydia, I darted up the stairs, ignoring my side as I rushed towards the place I remembered the Nemeton being. I could only pray that I would be in time before that bitch hurt my mate. Because if she so much as hurt one hair on his head, she would die by my hands. Wanting to let the bitch know, I knew she was going after my mate, I let out a roar that caused everything in the woods to go quiet.

(3rd Person Pov – Hale/McCall House – 12:50 PM)

As Bella's roar sounded through the forest, a house full of werewolves and wolf shifters snapped their head in the direction of the roar. One Alpha werewolf stood and hurried as fast as he could towards the door. Both or one of his mates were in trouble, which caused his wolf to want to help. The 18 year old boy's eyes flashed red a few times before they stayed red and he transformed into his werewolf form. The entire house was still as the 18 year old boy darted out the front door. Only one jumped up and tried to run after the boy, yelling for him.

"SCOTT! Wait!" Charlie yelled as he watched his son in law race into the trees that surrounded the Hale/McCall property.

Emmett and Jasper appeared at Charlie's side. "Don't worry pops." Emmett said clapping Charlie on the back hard enough for a human. "We'll bring 'im back."

With a wink, Emmett and Jasper raced in the same direction as Scott. Charlie stood on the porch with a frown marring his face. His eyes turned to Jake who stood in the door way, the boys staring at Charlie with worry in his eyes.

"Let's go back inside." Charlie whispered turning and ushering the boy inside the house, glancing over his shoulder once before shutting the door. I hope you're ok, Bells. Charlie thought in a pray as he headed up the stairs and entered the room where his grandbabies were sleeping.

(~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~)

Author Note – Ok my readers I have to admit you guys are rather lucky. Why you ask because the last little part at the Hale/McCall house almost didn't make it into the chapter. Oh Yes, the last little scene change was an add on after I reread it. ;D I hope you like it. Also I would like to tell you that the kitsune Stiles was also written as …...'Stiles'... if you were wondering. Now what do you think will happen? I mean with Peter gone the Death Pool isn't going to start up thus that wont be happening but what about Kate? Will she stab and run? Or will she play around with Derek a little to long? Til the next chapter, keep reading and reviewing...
