46-The Twins Are Back

Ashlee's p.o.v

When Scott steps into the loft, I run over and check him over then hug him. I smell a new but familiar scent, my heckles coming up. I push Scott behind me, growling at the twins as they to step into the loft.

"Ash! They're here to help!" Scott says, stops me from going after them.

"Help us do what? Kill another pack member!" I yell, trying to get past Scott.

"That was Deucalion, he made us-" Ethan starts.

"You were alphas as well so don't give me that shit!" I yell angerily, giving up my attack.

"We're here to help" Aiden says.

"Scott?" I say, looking at him.

"We need help Ash, look at everything that's happened" Scott says.

"We don't need THEIR help" I say.

"We need someone's help" Scott says.

"They hurt Cora, they helped kill Boyd!" I snap, regretting my words when Cora's face drops from her place on the stairs, I didn't even realise she was there until now.

"Why are they here?" Derek growls when he sees what's going on, staring down the twins. Cora stands up.

"Cora, i'm sorry" I say. She takes off up the stairs, up to her room. "Cora!" I yell after her. "See Scott? They shouldn't be here" I tell him, going after Cora. "Cora?" I call out, pushing open her door slowly. Cora's sitting in the corner, head in hands. I close the door behind me, going to her side. I wrap my arms around her shoulders. "Shit..i'm really sorry Cora, I didn't realise you were there" I say softly. Cora lifts her head up, tears down her face.

"You really think that's why i'm upset?" Cora asks with a sad chuckle. "I'm upset because when I look at the twins, all I see if them holding Derek as Kali impales Boyd" she explains. She sniffs as I cuddle close to her, offering her comfort. "I loved Boyd" she says. I look up at her. "I didn't think i'd have anything like that, ever, especially not after the fire. Then I was thrown into the vault, where I found Boyd"

"I'm so sorry Cora, if I could turn the clock back i'd switch places with him" I tell her. She gives me a small sad smile but shakes her head.

"Boyd died trying to help us..trying to save Derek. I owe him my life" she says. "It was his idea you know? Flooding the loft like that..he was so smart" Cora tells me. I nod into her, he was. "I don't want the twins here..but if they can help save your mother then i'll welcome their help" Cora says with a sigh.

"Thank you, I don't want them here either, they're both omegas though. If they step one foot out of line, i'll put them in the ground" I tell Cora. She nods and wipes away her tears. She stands up and I follow her.

"We should get back down there" she says. I nod and we walk down together.

"Are you okay?" Derek asks Cora, Scott still talking to the twins. My heart swells when Cora wraps herself around Derek, it's been so long since they've acted like brother and sister. Derek hugs her back, suprise all over his face. I walk back over to the twins and Scott.

"What's the go?" I ask Scott.

"The twins are going to help us..then we decide what to do with them afterwards" Scott tells me. I nod, turning to them.

"This may not be my pack anymore but this is still my family. If you hurt any of them, I will put you down, same as Kali" I warn them.

"That's understandable" Aiden says, Ethan nodding.

"Well..what do we do about the Nogitsune?" I ask all three of them.

"Deaton's still on that, Lydia and Stiles too" Scott tells me.

"I just feel like we're running out of time" I tell Scott nervously. The voices, for now have stopped. I know that's a good thing for me but it feels like it's bad for everyone else.

"When we have the information we need, we'll go after it, we'll save Mum" Scott assures me. I nod but deep down, I know we don't have much time.

..

I called Noshiko. Her and I have decided to go after the Nogitsune ourselves. When I see my mother, looking sick and broken, I feel ill. The Nogitsune is slowly killing my mother.

"You shouldn't have come here" it says, eyes black. "Not alone" this time the Nogitsune stares at me. "You look tired Ashlee, having trouble sleeping?" it asks sarcastially, smirking.

"You look weak, that vessel won't hold your spirit forever" I shoot back.

"Who's going to take it from me, you?" it asks, scoffing.

"If I have to" I answer.

"What about poor Mummy?"

"Don't worry about her, you'll be the one burning" I warn. The Nogitsune chuckles darkly.

"So you did find Derek?" it asks. I growl lowly at it. "You know that wasn't me that threw him out right? I've been inside your mother since I was let out during the storm and Darach situation" it tells me, I didn't know that. "I've watched you all for awhile now, waiting for the perfect opportunity to reveal myself. Then I found it, everyone settled down, you and Derek decided to be together, I couldn't let that opportunity pass. I didn't throw him out though, I didn't throw you out and I didn't hurt Scott, that was all her" I roar at the Nogitsune, jumping at him. Noshiko comes after it with me.

..

I hear Noshiko whining in pain. She's covered in blood. She may be a kitsune but every tail she sacrificed made her weaker. She's sacrificed 6, she has 3 tails left, making her have the strength of a 300 year old kitsune, not a 900 year old one. She holds a hand over a partically deep cut that doesn't seem to be healing. I spin back to the Nogitsune, growling. I run forward, ready to fight, but i'm cut short when I feel something pierce through my side. I look down, one of the Oni's katanas is in the Nogitsune's hand and through my side, coming out the other side. I choke, blood slipping from my lips. I hear Noshiko yelling my name but I fall to the gorund, bleeding out.

..

I shoot up, gasping. I wince at the pain in my side. That soon comes to a sudden stop when I see my mother handcuffed, tape over her mouth on one of our couches opposite me.

"Hey, it's okay" Scott says from behind me. I look back and we're at my house.

"Is-is it her? Is it Mum?" I ask him. He shakes his head, no. I see Deaton, Lydia, Stiles and the twins with Scott as well.

"I injected it with kanima venom" Deaton speaks up.

"What happens when it wears off? Will she be cured?" I ask.

"No" Deaton answers. I look around, realising Noshiko's not here.

"Where is Noshiko?" I ask them, still looking around.

"She's at Derek's loft, recovering. She took quite a few stabbings" Deaton says. At least she's there, she can catch up with the Hales. "You did too" Deaton says, looking at me with worried eyes. I look down at my shirt, it's a clean one. I lift up my shirt to show a badage. I pull it up, my stab wound has started to close, it goes right through, blood all around it. Deaton scowls me and makes me leave it alone. They all go to the lounge, to talk about what we do now that we have the Nogitsune isolated. I look at Mum, her eyes are normal and she's crying. I pull myself off the couch, going over to her.

"Mum?" I ask, she nods. I pull the tape from her mouth. A few more tears fall before she stops, face dropping into a frown and glares at me.

"Really Ashlee? One tear, that's all it takes?" it mocks. I put the tape back over her mouth. The Nogitsune yells from under it. Scott and the others come back in. Scott makes me back to the couch, telling me to stay away from her. They call Peter, they need his help.

..

"You're going to go into pale, sickly, evil Melissa's mind and pull pale Melissa back out" Peter says, lining Scott's claws up with his neck. Peter tells us someone needs to go in with him, Lydia volunteers, her banshee power being an advantage. Scott agrees reluctantly, seeing no other opition. Lydia's scared so I sit with her. Scott starts to count down from 3. When he gets to one, I spin Lydia and I so Scott's claws pierce my neck, taking me with him. I don't want anyone to get hurt, I should be going in alone, of course I can't do that because i'm no longer an alpha.

"Ash?!" Scott yells. I open my eyes. Scott and I are in a room, strapped down to beds. "What the hell did you do?!" he demands. We both pull againist the straps, trying to break free. We manage to get out and head for the door. "I can't believe you did this" Scott says angerily.

"If I had it my way, i'd come in alone, I don't want to hurt anyone else" I tell him, walking out the room door before him. I hear a slam and turn to see the door's closed. "SCOTT!" I yell, banging on the door, trying to open it. I hear a growl and turn slowly to find i'm in a dark room. The only light shows Derek and Scott chained up to a wall, cut and slices down their chests and face. A creature turns, it appears to be human but it's completely wrapped in bandages, sharp, silver teeth showing through where the mouth is. It's wearing an army jacket and pants.

"She is Nogitsune now" I hear Peter's voice waver in my head. It's the Nogitsune, the real Nogtisune.
