Hey everyone! Sorry I've been MIA for a while I've been super busy and haven't had much motivation to upload the latest chapter.

Darkness swallows a dying star.
Makes no difference what you're running from.
The voices follow you
Voices follow you
Voices follow you into the dark...
Singing where does time go from here?

Feels Like The End - Mikky Ekko

Chapter Three: New Discoveries and Disappearances

Derek looked to Erica and she looked straight at Stiles. His face was emotionless, unreadable.

"No you didn't." Derek stated.

"Oh yes, I did. He had to go." Stiles said.

"He had to go?" Erica echoed.

Stiles sighed. "This would be so much easier if you all pretended I was the same Stiles I was a couple of days ago."

"But you aren't," Erica said, her eyes narrowing. "You're different. I don't know if I can trust you. How do we know that you aren't plotting something again behind our backs?"

"You don't." Stiles said simply. "But if you can remember, nothing bad actually happened to any of you."

"What about Alexia? You drained her blood!" Erica protested. She was losing her temper with Stiles; her eyes were shifting between their usual green and her wolf's amber.

"A few drops... and Alexia knows I wouldn't hurt her anyway." He said indignantly.

"Um guys?" Alexia cut in, "Can we get to the point? Stiles, you said you killed the vampires. Did you?"

Alexia looked at him closely, scrutinising his every move. She'd been doing it the whole time, checking for any signs he wasn't able to be trusted. Her heart was hammering in her chest; even she could hear it loudly. She took a deep breath, steadying herself and listened to his response, trying to sense anything she could. So far he'd passed the test, but that was only with her. Surely he couldn't hide everything from a pack of werewolves.

Stiles nodded slowly. "Yes I did. As I said before, they had to go."

"And as I said before, I don't know if I can trust you." Erica's voice was coated with a layer of steel.

Alexia rolled her eyes again. "Come on guys."

"What if I say it slowly. Listen to my heartbeat and tell me if I'm lying." He paused. "I. Killed. The. Vampires."

Erica went to walk forward, but Derek caught her arm. "He wasn't lying." He said, regretfully.

Alexia noticed the hint of regret in his voice. She realised, with a pang, that he'd been hoping that Stiles was lying. He'd been hoping that Stiles was really the enemy. Derek still wouldn't be able to trust him, though. Not for a long time. She knew it herself that there was a part of her that still couldn't trust him. She knew that she would always be checking him for one of those signs again...

"Great. Now that's all cleared up, can Alexia and I leave now? We have something to do."

Derek gave him a dark look. "You're not going anywhere with her now. We need to know if they're really dead."

"Fine. I was going to burn their bodies. You can come too, if you want." Stiles said.

And with that, he grabbed Alexia and began running out the door. Derek, Erica and Boyd weren't far behind.

...

It was epic.

Alexia was moving at superhuman speed. She couldn't actually acknowledge everything she passed, the world around her was a blur. It was the most exhilarating thing she'd ever done before. The wind in her hair, the feel of Stiles' hand in hers. They stopped sooner than she'd hoped.

"Where are we?" she asked him. "I know this place, but I don't know how."

"It's the place where they were staying. You know, the night Levi took your blood? You were here." He said.

"Oh," she said, the memory registering in her mind.

A few seconds later Derek, Erica and Boyd came up behind them. Erica wasn't in control of her shift completely and accidentally ran into Alexia, sending her crashing into a tree.

"Oh my goodness, Lex I'm so sorry!" Erica said.

Alexia ignored her. She heard a sharp intake of breath. She looked up and Stiles was standing in front of her. His eyes were red, the veins protruding out of his skin around his eyes, his fangs elongated.

"Stiles?" She reached out her hand to touch his face, but he disappeared.

Alexia threw her hand to her forehead in anger, but found she was touching something hot, sticky and wet. She lifted her hands away and looked at her fingers. They were covered in blood. Derek and Erica both gave her "I told you so" looks.

She groaned loudly in frustration, Stiles had left her again.

So there's a bit of Sassy!Stiles in this chapter... Not my greatest, but what can you do. Review and I'll upload some tomorrow.
