Skye's POV

None of us talked as we sat on the couch in the Sherriff's station because it was too painful, we just lost Allison, Allison was dead and I all could think about right now was my Scott because nothing in the world can be compared to heartbreak, I frowned because I could still hear Chris Argent's voice echoing in my head explaining what we had to tell the police.

"Scott!" he exclaimed since he was trying to get Scott's attention. "Look at me, look at me" Scott was clutching the bars to the fence like a lifeline right now. "You's have to remember, you called me first okay, say it, you called me first"

"I called you..." Scott repeated.

"Not you, say Mr Argent or her dad" Mr Argent cut him off as I stared at him wondering how the hell he was doing this, his daughter just died yet he was showing no emotion, my father would be a mess right now and I knew as soon as he found out about this it was only going to encourage him more to get me to move with him.

"I called her dad first" Scott said without looking at him.

"What else, what happened"

"There were two of them" I supplied when Scott couldn't.

"They tried to steal our car" Scott added through trembling breaths. "They wore masks, one of them had a knife"

"You think, don't get specific Scott" Argent cut him off again. "You say you saw something sharp and metallic, you think you saw a knife, what do you say next if you get confused what do you always repeat?"

"It happened...so fast" I stuttered again when Scott didn't seem to be able.

"That's right say it again" he looked at Scott. "Scott, say it" Scott turned to him.

"How are you doing this?"

"It's what we do, it's what we do" Argent replied but I could tell he was only just holding back his own tears.

"Can you remember anything else" I heard Deputy Parrish ask snapping me back, I looked up into the eyes of Deputy Parrish, my dad and the Sheriff. "Anything else, Isaac?"

"I'm sorry, it just happened so fast" Isaac said looking at the ground and Mr Stilinski touched his shoulder then nodded at my dad and Parrish signalling it was enough questioning for now, my dad led me out of the room and pulled me into a hug but I refused to break down not until this was over.

"Skye-"

"Dad don't please, you can yell at me later right now I have to finish this, I'm getting Stiles back and killing this thing before it hurts anybody else" I pulled out of his arms and walked out ignoring him calling my name.

Argent dropped me off at the loft before driving home himself and I said nothing the entire ride here because again there was nothing I could say or do that was going to make any of this okay so I didn't speak and got out of the car then walked to the elevator riding it up before sliding the door open and walked in seeing Derek burning the wolfsbane out of Aiden but he looked up when he heard the door open.

"Skye what happened?" he dropped what he was doing and ran up to me cupping my cheeks.

"It's…I…it's" I looked up into his eyes. "Allison's dead" his eyes widened in shock but he pulled me to him but again I refused to shed a tear and eventually pulled myself out of his arms and walked towards the twins checking them over as Derek went back to burning out their wounds but I noticed he was watching him out of the corner of his eye.

"Should be fine in a couple of hours" Derek spoke up after burning the last of it out of Ethan's shoulder wound. "Unless whoever shot you manages to find you again" Aiden sighed from near the window then started walking towards the door.

"Lydia's with Scott, we need to go"

"Are you gonna try to convince her to go with you?" Derek asked stopping him.

"I'm gonna try to convince her to run and hide" Aiden replied as Ethan pulled on his shirt then stood beside his brother. "Like any sane person would do" I frowned and crossed my arms.

"And Danny?" Derek asked looking at Ethan.

"Allison's dead, Stiles' is dying, what do you think?" Ethan replied and I scoffed.

"I think Danny won't believe you and Lydia would never run and hide" I replied walking towards him angrily.

"Because of Stiles?" Aiden asked.

"Because of Scott" Derek replied before I could. "You've been trying to find a way into his pack, trying to earn his trust, trying to fight for him but you've had it wrong the whole time, you don't fight for a leader you fight for a leaders cause" I smiled up at Derek.

"What cause?" Aiden asked us.

"Scott's always been about one thing, saving his friends, he will do anything and everything to save the people he cares about, when there's no chance of winning he keeps fighting, when all hope is lost he keeps finds another way and when he's beaten down, he stands up again" Derek yelled making me smile as I moved up standing next to Derek and took his hand in mine.

"You want to earn a way into the pack, you want redemption then find another way to stand and fight!" I added glaring towards the twins who looked dumbfounded as they looked at each other before they left leaving me with Derek. "I should go and help, I just wanted to check in with you" I added turning to Derek but he pulled me into his arms.

"What happened?"

"The oni…they stabbed her and…she died in Scott's arms" I nuzzled against his chest feeling my throat close up but I fought of my tears.

"I know you and her we're never really on the best of terms after she tried to kill me but I'm sorry Skye, I'm sorry that you lost another friend" I shook my head.

"You don't need to apologise Derek" he sighed then cupped my cheek and moved his thumb over it gently.

"Go but please be careful, I'll catch up as soon as I can" I nodded my head then quickly pulled him into a kiss.

"I love you Derek" he frowned and shook his head.

"You tell me that when this is all over and we've saved Stiles okay" I frowned looking up at him.

"Derek-"

"Skye no, you never let me do the whole impeding 'I love you' speech in the face of impeding death so I'm not letting you do it this time" I couldn't help the small smile. "We're both going to survive this" I sighed but shut up because I know how it feels to be on the other end of this speech.

"I should go and catch up with Scott at the clinic" he nodded then squeezed my waist before letting me go.

"Take the Camaro please" I chuckled nodding my head then grabbed the keys before I walked out giving Derek another quick goodbye kiss before I drove to the clinic then headed in already hearing Scott and Lydia speaking with Deaton already.

"…it's a spirit that's taken the shape of a human"

"The shape of our best friend" I cut in walking into the room and walked up beside Scott and gave his hand a quick squeeze.

"Someone caught it once, someone can do it again, right?" Lydia spoke up looking at Deaton.

"I don't know" Deaton replied shaking his head. "This thing was trapped a long time ago before the Nemeton was cut down, it doesn't have the same power anymore"

"Is there anything that does?" Scott asked him.

"Possibly" Deaton nodded filling me with an ounce of hope. "When the tree was whole, its wood was sometimes used to contain powerful objects but those objects are very rare"

"Wait a second, powerful objects?" Lydia spoke up making us turn to her. "Like an Alpha's claws?" my eyes widened when I caught onto her train of thought.

"Which Alpha?" Deaton asked her.

"Talia Hale" I cut in before Lydia could.

"Peter had them in this wooden box with the triskele craved on the lid, what if it was made from the Nemeton?" Lydia added.

"It was" Deaton replied making me look up towards him.

"How do you know?" I asked him.

"Because I made it" I quickly grabbed my phone out and rang Derek.

"Skye, are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine but you know that box with your mom's claws"

"Yeah?" he asked hesitantly.

"We need it, we can use it to stop the Nogitsune"

"Okay I'll bring it to you"

"Bring it to the school" Scott cut in grabbing the phone from me. "We'll meet you there" he hung up and I raised an eyebrow towards him for just hanging up on Derek on my phone like that. "Derek's got the triskele box, he's going to meet us" Scott added looking up at Deaton but I saw Lydia start falling back so I quickly reached out and steadied her.

"What's wrong?" I asked her.

"Something's happening" she replied confusing me but then I remembered she was a Banshee which couldn't have been a good thing. "I had this sudden rushing feeling, like we're running out of time"

"Yeah" we looked up and saw Stiles being led in by Cora who was practically holding him up. "I kind of have that feeling to" I frowned as I took in Stiles' appearance, he looked worse now.

We all got into Stile's Jeep and my Camaro going to the school which confused me since whenever we came to the school it never ended well for us and because I hate the school at night so I didn't understand why we chose to come here.

"Scott hold on" Stile's said before we could walk into the school. "I know what you're all thinking if this works it might kill me too but even if it does you have to go through with it, stick with the plan okay"

"Then plan is to save you" Scott cutting him off.

"That's the plan we're going with" I added because I didn't want him talking like this.

We walked in the school but it wasn't the school we all knew it was some kind of garden with snow falling down on us then the door closed behind us we all turned to look at it then at each other.

"Oh, this is definitely not part of the plan" Stile's said stating the obvious as we all looked up again at the snow as it fell around us then we saw the nogitsune come out near the door and Kira quickly unsheathed her sword.

"Like I promised Stiles were going to kill all of them" the nogitsune spoke up. "One by one!" he roared then the oni turned up.

"What the hell is this where are we?" Scott asked as we stared at the nogitsune.

"Between life and death" the nogitsune replied.

"Bardo" Lydia stated and I frowned clenching my fists to stop myself from doing something rash and get myself killed.

"But there are no peaceful deities here, Lydia" I looked around judging up the fight that I knew was inevitable. "You're dying Stiles and now everyone you care about is dying too"

"What, what do you mean?" Stile's asked the Nogitsune.

"I've captured almost all the territories on the board Stile's, the hospital" Scott turned to the Nogitsune angrily because that meant his mom. "The Sheriff's station" now it was my turn to be pissed as I thought about Stiles' dad and mine. "And now the animal clinic" Deaton, Scott was seething with anger and I was right there with him just barely holding myself back from attacking. "Do you know the ritual of seppuku Stiles?"

"No and I don't want to" Stiles replied.

"When a samurai disembowels himself with his own sword to maintain his honour but that's not the cut that kills him, the killing stroke is made by his kaishakunin, who beheads the samurai with his own katana, Skyler is your kaishakunin" Stiles and I shared a look. "I'm going to make your best friend kill you Stiles and you're going to let her because just like you they're all going to die, everyone touched by an oni's blade unless Skyler kills you first" he was right in Stile's face now and I was ready to spring at a moment's notice.

"Why, why are you doing this?" Stile's asked the nogitsune.

"To win the game" he replied then signalled the oni, Scott and I wolfed out and Kira raised her own blade to the oni then we began fighting the oni while Stiles and Lydia stayed back but we were just barely keeping them at bay.

"How is this happening, how are we in this place?" Scott asked no one in particular.

"You're asking me, a month ago I'd never even touched a sword" Kira replied as we kept fighting the oni but we were seriously outnumbered and I was dodging swords left, right and centre.

Kira lost her sword as Scott and I were attempting to hold them off but nothing was working we were losing badly, I was slashing at them with my claws but looked up when I saw Stile's grab Kira's sword and pressed it against his stomach ready to impale himself.

"Stiles no!" Scott yelled

"Stiles don't!" I added.

"Stiles!" Scott yelled again as we stopped fighting with the oni and stepped towards him.

"What is if saves you, what I'd it saves all of you?" Stile's argued.

"What if it's just another trick?" Lydia protested.

"No more tricks Lydia" the nogitsune cut in. "End it Skyler, let your friend fall on his own sword do for him what he cannot do for himself, do it Skyler be his kaishakunin give up the game" I shook my head at Stiles silently asking him not to do this but he still went to run the sword through but then he stopped and looked behind him. "You have no moves left" Stiles put down the sword and we looked at him confused.

"I do" Stiles spoke up then tossed the sword to Kira who caught it. "A divine move, stop fighting them it's an illusion you have to stop fighting them it looks real and feels real but Scott, Skye you gotta trust me it's an illusion" Stiles told us as he held onto Lydia,

We turned back to the doors while the nogitsune and the oni stood on either side of us and as we walked they started slashing at us it hurt like it was real but when we exited the doors we were in the school, the real school and our lashes were gone.

"Well that happened" I spoke up confused but then the Void-Stile's was back and he hit Scott and Kira knocking them into the lockers so I backed up to protect Stiles and Lydia snarling at him as he stalked towards us.

"This was my game, you think you can beat me at my game" the Nogitsune spoke up stalking towards us as we backed up. "Divine move, divine move you think you have any moves at all you can kill the oni but me" we kept backing up quickly as he came at us. "Me, I'm a thousand years old you can't kill me"

"But we can change you" I shouted back and it stopped his pursuit.

"What?" he replied cocking his head to the side.

"You forgot about the scroll" Stiles said behind me.

"The Shugendo scroll" Lydia added and it clicked on Void-Stile's face.

"Change the host"

"You can't be a fox and a wolf" Stiles told him just as Scott came up behind him and bit him which made evil Stile's scream then Kira stabbed her sword through his chest.

The lights started flickering and Void-Stile's fell to his knees just as a fly came out of his mouth flying away but then Isaac came out of nowhere and caught it in the triskele box which confused me but before I could dwell on it Void-Stile's fell turning to dust as he hit the ground and our Stile's fell to the ground unconscious.

We all ran to him and I panicked because he can't die after all this, he's my best friend for gods sake but I focused my hearing and could hear his heart still beating which meant he just fainted so Scott took off his jacket and rolled it up under his head and it was about a minute before his eyes flicked open and we all breathed out in relief.

"Oh god I fainted didn't I?" Stiles asked us and we all laughed at him. "Were alive, we all alive"

"Yeah were okay" Scott replied but then Lydia suddenly stood and by the look on her face I could already tell she was having a Banshee feeling and it confirmed my theory when she took off out the door so I quickly followed not liking that.

I ran after her outside and we looked down the stairs to see it wasn't Derek it was Aiden, Aiden was dead and Ethan was crying over his body, I saw Derek stand up so I ran down the stairs towards him and jumped into his arms crying into his neck because I'd thought it was him.

"I thought…I thought" I shook my head.

"Shh Skye I'm okay" I continued to sob into his neck as he wrapped his arms tighter around me.

"I thought you…" I paused shaking my head again then leaned back to look into his eyes. "I love you"

"I love you too" he replied holding my cheeks in his hand then leaned down and we kissed not caring about everyone who had to see this but I couldn't help it because for a minute I thought he was dead.

The next morning I finally broke down feeling it all come crashing down on me, Derek held me until I was calm enough again but how could I ever be okay from this not only did we lose Allison but Aiden was dead and he never got the chance to earn our trust back.

I heard my phone buzzing from my nightstand at Derek's loft and I frowned looking at it seeing my father's name so I reluctantly separated and I picked it up putting it to my ear.

"What's up dad?" after I'd made sure he was okay after getting cut with an oni's blade at the Sheriff's station I'd come back to Derek's since I'd came back to live with him because my dad was still insisting we move but I couldn't.

"Skye we really need to talk kid" I frowned already knowing what it was about.

"Dad now's not-"

"Skyler please it's not what you think, come home kiddo" I sighed looking down.

"Alright I'll be home soon" I looked up at Derek as I hung up. "I have to go see what he wants, I'll be back" he nodded smiling.

"It's okay Skye, you need to talk to your dad and you need to forgive him okay"

"What are you saying?" I asked him. "You want be to move away"

"No I'm not saying that, I want you to live with me Skye but he's your father and I won't take you away from him so you need to make amends if you're wanting to stay here, you need to make him see that through all the bad you still have some good in the town" I looked up with a smirk.

"You're really corny you know that" he laughed rolling his eyes at me.

"Yeah I do but only for you my Skye" I rolled my own eyes then kissed him before I left and went home to talk to my father.

"Dad?" I walked in using my key then headed to the kitchen where I could hear his movements, I walked in and saw him sitting at the counter nursing his sore arm which is where he was cut by the oni. "You okay old man?" I asked smirking.

"Easy on the old kid" I laughed then took a seat beside him.

"So what's up, you want to try and talk me into moving with you again" he sighed and shook his head.

"No because your as stubborn as your mother and I know you won't leave but I can't stay here kid, I've already accepted that job offer in Miami and I'm moving there soon" I frowned but didn't like that option either but it would honestly give me some ease of mind that my father would once and for all be safe.

"So what are you saying?" I asked him confused but he just slid a piece of paper across the bench and I saw it was a completed emancipation form.

"I'm saying your free kid" my eyes widened in shock.

"Dad are you serious?"

"Yeah kiddo but no matter what your still my daughter and whether you live with me or Derek I want you to be careful"

"I will dad, thank you" I pulled him into a tight hug still not fully believing this but I would do anything to stay in Beacon Hills with Scott, Stiles and of course Derek.

"I'm gonna miss you kiddo" I smiled nodding my head.

"I'll miss you too daddy" we spoke more about his plans and mine before I left and headed back to the loft to tell Derek the news but when I walked in my eyes widened when I saw shell casings everywhere and even the smallest amount of Derek's blood on the ground. "NO!" I felt my whole body shift as I roared out in agony and anger vowing that whoever has done this I am going to make them hurt.
