Allison awoke with a smile on her face. She felt energized and ready for the day's events, whatever they may be. It was 10:30 in the morning, so she thought she'd get up and go for her morning run. Just because it was summer doesn't excuse the fact that she still needs to be in shape if she ever needs to get into "hunter" mode to help her friends.
After putting on her running gear, tying her hair up in a bun she gets her ipod and plugs her ear buds into her ears, Allison exits the penthouse with a smile to her father and leisurely steps to the elevator. Pressing the 1 button on the elevator, she patiently waits for the elevator to descend down to the first floor. When she exits the elevator she notices that the lobby is very busy for a Saturday, but she shrugs her shoulders and figures it must be for a convention of some kind. Moving through the lobby doors she takes in the fresh air of the morning dew, looks up at the sky, changes the song on her ipod and starts off in a light jog from the city streets to the reserve.
Allison still finds peace running within the woods even after everything that she has been through. Sure, she kind of hates Derek's guts and can't stand the sight of Peter Hale after what he did to Lydia, but she knows that they won't be in the woods during the day and seeing that there won't be a full moon for two more weeks she figures she won't have any contact with the Hale's. Especially since she heard Stiles mention that they got a loft somewhere in the city. He made sure to reassure her that it was nowhere near the Argents building.
Running through the exit of the reserve she notices an Audi Q5 parked near the exit. Lydia Martin posed against the hood as if she has been waiting for a while. Allison takes the moment to stop, take her ear buds from her ears, wipe the brow from her forehead and approach the object of her affections with a sweet smile.
"Look at you all sweaty in all of the right places." Lydia says while her eyes work their way over Allison's body. Allison gives her a blush and a laugh.
"Good morning Lyds. What brings you here so early?" Allison asks now squirming under Lydia's gaze.
"Oh you know, I just happened to be in the neighborhood and thought I'd pick up a beautiful hunter." She finishes flirtatiously. With Jackson in London and Scott not talking to Allison, Lydia and Allison have grown closer blurring the lines between best friends and something more. They never speak about it, but they both figure that they will cross that bridge when they get to it.
"Really? How may I be of service to my lady today?" Allison says with a bow and a laugh. The laugh turns into a scream of agony with Allison doubling over in pain. Lydia rushes to Allison's side and circles an arm around her waist to catch her before her body falls slack against the asphalt.
"Alli, are you okay? Sorry. That's a dumb question. What I meant is what's happening?" Lydia says almost above a whisper in Allison's ear.
Allison hears the question, but can't really think of a reply. Her mind is bombarded with women dying with weapons in their hands and contorted faces with fangs laughing above them all saying the same thing "Slayer". Then she sees her, Faith fighting more faces with fangs, but they seem more powerful, but Faith isn't dying she's winning. Then, she sees the Blonde one that Faith calls "B" being hoisted over Faith's shoulder and carried out of a now dilapidated school building. Allison's eyes close and her body slumps against Lydia's.
"Allison! Oh god! Please don't be dead, I just found you." Lydia stumbles as she brings Allison's now unconscious body to the passenger side of her car. Putting Allison in the seat with a click of a seat belt she gives Allison a kiss to the forehead before checking her pulse. Satisfied that Allison is most definitely not dead, Lydia closes the passenger side door and rushes to the driver's side. Puts her key into the ignition and sets off for home, hoping that whatever is happening to Allison she can fix because she really doesn't want to see anyone from the Hale pack this summer.
Allison feels different in her subconscious she feels more powerful. Then she sees the ones that came before her "The Chosen Ones" they are called. She sees "B" being drowned by what she has come to learn as a vampire. Then being brought back to life what a joke, first Werewolves now vampires. She sees Faith being chosen after a girl named Kendra dies at the hand of a female vampire. She looks 16 at the time which means it was the night Faith left the Lehane's with her "watcher" she has learned to call the British mentors to the slayers. Then she sees "B" jumping from a haphazardly made tower into a portal saving the world. Her last dream is of the other girls known as "potentials" being killed by mean with carved out eyes. She wakes with a start after seeing a red headed woman chant something which causes her hair to turn white and the axe that she is holding to cascade light all over the room.
Allison looks around the room and finds that she is in Lydia's room tucked under the covers with Lydia lying next to her giving her a soft smile. Putting her head back against the covers Allison hears the thumping of Lydia's heart, calm and strong. She looks down at her and caresses her beautiful pale cheek.
"What happened?" She asks softly. Looking into Lydia's honey brown eyes.
"You scared the hell out of me. That's what happened." Lydia says looking scared again. "While you were out like a light, you kept saying things." Allison gave her a look that said keep going and Lydia continued.
"You kept saying words like slayer, B, Faith, the chosen ones. I think the one that was most weird was vampire." Lydia said finding one of Allison's hands and lacing their fingers together. "What were you dreaming about Alli?" She said with concern looking up at Allison.
"I don't really know Lyds. Something really weird is going on." Allison answered not really sure how to start.
"Weird, how? You know that you can tell me Allison." Lydia says encouragingly. Nuzzling Allison's neck with her nose.
"I found out last that I have an older sister named Faith. She ran away when I was four. I didn't really remember her." Allison starts with tears in her eyes. "The dreams Lyds, they were so awful. Girls were being killed because they were trying to protect people. I couldn't save them or help them, but Faith saved a lot of them Lydia. God, I-I don't know what's happening to me." Allison finished full on bawling into Lydia's arms she took the time to hold her. She couldn't take sight of her huntress in any pain let alone tears and a big revelation that Allison had an older sister made Lydia want to hold Allison more because she has no idea how she would handle a situation like that.
Lydia didn't know what to make of Allison's dreams, but she knows that she will make damn sure to find out. She thought as Allison continued to cry into her neck. Offering her comforting words Lydia continued to hold her as if she would float away if she let go.
When the tears subsided, Lydia wiped Allison's tears away with the pads of her thumbs and gave Allison a kiss to her forehead.
"Thank you for not thinking that I am a freak." Allison finally spoke for the first time in twenty minutes. Her voice still sounded vulnerable, but she didn't care. She had to tell Lydia, especially since all of the things that she kept from her over the course of that year.
"Oh, honey. I could never. Especially, since we live in Beacon Hills which is like the Supernatural r' us or something. Plus, you are my best friend, my Allison. I would never think that you were a freak. Also, do you remember that I am the one that ran around the woods for two days after being bitten by an Alpha and then being used to resurrect said Alpha." Lydia finishes with her patented smirk and a squeeze to Allison's hand.
With a light smile and a laugh Allison says, "How could forget. I can kill Peter if you want me to." She says seriously. She wanted to do it for a few months anyway.
"That won't be necessary. I hear he is supernaturally neutered and that's enough for me. I did like the sentiment however." Lydia offers with a laugh. Allison loves Lydia's laugh it's her favorite song to her and her smile is like sunshine and don't get Allison started on Lydia's genius side. Let's just say that her intellect is a turn on for Allison.
Allison laughs along with Lydia. That's when she hears it, the jump in Lydia's heartbeat. "Your heartbeat just sped up." She says staring into Lydia's eyes.
Lydia giving her a surprised look says, "How did you know that?".
"I-I don't know. It started when I woke up from those awful dreams, but then your heartbeat made everything okay again." Allison says moving a strand of dark hair behind her ear. A nervous gesture she developed when she was seven.
"Now you have super hearing. Were you bitten by anything in the woods?" Lydia asked worry showing in her eyes.
"No. I wasn't bitten, but after I woke up I feel powerful like really strong Lyds and I can hear your mom pulling up into the driveway." Allison finishes with panic in her eyes.
"Don't worry Alli. I'll figure this out. I'm a genius remember I'll just get my laptop and see if we can figure this out. I am sure you are fine". Lydia says getting up from her side of the bed to get her laptop that was on top of her desk. Sitting back on to her bed she sits up with Allison curling around her. Lydia loves the feel of Allison cuddled against her it's her silent way of being comfortingly possessive of Lydia and Lydia isn't going to complain.
Sitting up Allison lifts upLydia's soft purple satin covers so she can stand. Stretching Allison starts to walk towards Lydia's bathroom, stopping at the bathroom door she pulls too hard on the handle causing it to dismantle. She offers an "Oops" to Lydia who looked up at her after typing her password into her computer.
"Maybe we should speed the research process along a bit." Lydia said with a shocked expression on her face. Gaining access into her computer and typing furiously into Google.
