I just want you guys to know that in this chapter and possibly others I will me switching from Mackenzie's POV to third person. I will just put a squiggly line when I change. Also this is an AU in a way. The characters have the same personality but I'm not following exactly what happens in the show. Some things from the show will happen in this story but not everything will follow that exact storyline. Thanks!

Chapter 2

I opened my eyes just in time to see the sign: Welcome to Beacon Hills

I couldn't decide if I was excited or nervous, probably both. I got off the train and realized I had no idea where I was going so I just started walking. I'm the dumbest person ever. I mean it's just my luck that my phones dead and I'm in a foreign city.

Maybe I should just go back. Then, I won't have to see Brett or try and find Stiles and actually look him in the eyes. I wonder what his parents are like, they'd be my parents too I guess. I wonder if Stiles told them about finding me. A million questions ran through my mind as I was walking but all of them stopped when I heard a low growl. Or at least I think it was a growl… I started walking faster when I heard it again.

Ugh Mackenzie you are so dumb, I thought, I regret not charging my phone more than ever before.

I was trying to move as fast as I could when I heard a car behind me. It passed me but stopped a little in front of me and as approached it a man that looked in his early twenties got out and looked at me. I probably looked awful. After just staring at me he finally spoke,

"Hi, are you lost?"

My thoughts were all over the place. He's kind of cute. Focus Mackenzie that is not the most important thing! What if he is going to murder me? He is driving a police car and is in a uniform you are so dumb!

Finally I answered him, "Yea kind of I don't know where I'm going and my phone is dead."

"Well you look pretty young to be wandering the streets by yourself. How old are you?" he looked questioningly at me.

"I'm 15 but I just got off the train and it was kind of a spur of the moment trip-" Wait, I shouldn't tell him that! I'm a minor and he'll send me back to my hometown with the parents that don't want and Lance eww gross. Should I tell him? Oh well I will anyways, "to visit my brother" I ended with a smile.

Nailed it.

"Well how about I give you a ride to the station and you can charge your phone there and then give him a call" He smiled at me.

"Ok thank you…" "Parrish. Deputy Parrish"

"Ok well thanks" I say as I hop into the car. While we are driving I reach into my bag and pull out the picture of Stiles he sent me and I printed out before I left. He kind of looked like me in a way but I don't know. Dark hair, brown eyes, and same nose I think. Whatever, I just can't wait to meet him but I'm just so nervous.

I hear the Deputy speak up, "Who's that a picture of?"

I turn to him, "My brother. I can't even remember that last time I saw him"

"What's his name?"

"His name is Stiles".

"Stilinski"

"Yeah! Do you know him?" I asked excitedly.

"Uh maybe I might've heard his name before"

I can't believe my brother actually is here and someone might know him! After he asked about my brother he didn't say anything else until we got to the station. I just got out of the car and followed behind him. He led me into an office and said "You can use this room; there are outlets over there but try not to touch anything"

"Okay, why?"

"This is the Sheriff's office"

"Well why do I have to wait in here?"

"We might have important witnesses coming through and I don't want you to be around them but don't leave even if your phone is charged, if it's safe than I'll come get you."

I just watch as he walked out. That was weird. Oh well I just plug in my phone and start waiting.

As soon as Parrish left Mackenzie he went to find the Sheriff. He found him walking back to his office and grabbed him. "Sheriff, I need to tell you something"

"What is it Parrish?" He sighed.

"This is important. When I was on patrol, I found a girl wandering the streets so I asked her if she was lost and she said she was but her phone was dead so I brought her back here to charge it because she said she was visiting her brother".

The Sheriff sighed, "And why would that be important Parrish?"

"She said that her brother she was visiting was Stiles. Your son."

At these words the Sheriff's eyes widened. "No it can't be".

"Is something wrong Sheriff?"

He didn't answer the question; he just asked one right back, "Where is she?"

Parrish was taken aback at the Sheriff's reaction. "I told her to stay if your office and charge her phone until I told her to come out"

The Sheriff went and looked through the window of his office. He couldn't believe it. He couldn't believe that she was back after all those years of probably hating him. Stiles hadn't told him anything about this. Well that's classic Stiles for you. Stiles. As soon as he pulled back he called his son.

"Stiles!"

"Uhh... hey dad."

"Get to the station now!"

"But why?"

"Just do it!"

And before he could say anything else he hung up. There was so much going through his mind at the moment. Did Stiles contact her? How did she believe him? Did he tell her to come here? His thoughts were interrupted by Stiles bursting through the door with Scott right behind him.

"What is it Dad? Is everything okay? Is something wrong?" He rushed out in one panicked breath.

His Dad just stared at him before he said, "Is there something you forgot to tell me?"

"About….?"

"Oh I don't know about a certain 15 year old that I thought was gone since about 10 years ago"

Stiles' eyes widened at that comment and he was speechless. Even Scott didn't know what he was talking about until he whispered, "Mackenzie"

Scott spoke up at that, "Did you just say Mackenzie? I thought she was gone"

Stiles just jumped at his Dad, "How did you know about that? Is she here?"

The Sheriff just pointed to his office behind him. Stiles ran and yanked open the door. They sudden loud noise startled Mackenzie but as soon as her eyes met his she knew who he was and her mind was flooded with memories.

She remembered everything. She remembered Stiles playing with her. She remembered her Dad and how he used to take her to work and play with her. She even remembered her brother's best friend Scott, and how they used to play hide and seek with her. She remembered everything.

"Stiles?"

"Oh my god, Kenzie?"

It was like a scene out of a movie next. Mackenzie shot up and ran to Stiles. She threw her arms around his neck as he wrapped his arms around her waist and picked her up into a bone crushing hug. When he let her down they realized they both had tears in their eyes. She looked past Stiles and saw her Dad standing there. She ran to him and squeezed him as she said, "I missed you Daddy". He felt a tear drop from his eye as she let go. They heard a voice from behind them, "Do you remember me Kenzie?" She turned around to see Scott standing there and yelled "Scott!" as she ran to him and engulfed him in a hug.

When she let go Stiles came back over to her and wrapped his arm around her shoulder and squeezed her to his side. She smiled happily as she returned the squeeze.

"Now as much as I am completely happy with this homecoming, you have some explaining to do missy" The Sheriff said as he pointed to Mackenzie. She smiled sheepishly as she replied, "It's kind of a long story"

The Sheriff shrugged as he opened the door to his office and gestured to his couch, "We've got time".

Mackenzie looked at Stiles and he nodded. He led her to the couch and sat down next to her as the Sheriff stood by the door, "You coming in Scott?"

Scott thought for a moment before nodding and walking in to sit down on the opposite side of Mackenzie. Sheriff Stilinski stood against his desk as he waited to Mackenzie to start. Mackenzie took a shaky breath getting ready to start but Stiles grabbed her hand as encouragement and she started,

"Well… It all started when I got put in this one foster home when I was 12. It was the best one I had been in and I felt that the parents really cared about me." Stiles stopped her, "Wait, how many foster homes have you been in?"

She thought for a moment before saying, "Counting that one I would say 6? Yeah 6." Stiles just sat there in awe before he gestured for her to continue.

"Anyways, I lived happily with them for roughly 4 years and I had some trouble with some people there but I tried to get over it. Then, one night I heard my parents talking about how they didn't think I would be this much work and that they-" Mackenzie started getting choked up but Stiles squeezed her hand and Scott put his hand on her leg. She hadn't been here with these people more than maybe half an hour and she already felt more at home than she ever had.

"They said they didn't want me but they didn't know what to do with me and I wanted to run away so I packed an emergency getaway bag and stuffed it in the bushes. The next morning after I went on my run I came home saw I had a voicemail. I listened to it and it was Stiles saying that he was my brother and if he hadn't told me where he lived I wouldn't have been able to find my way here. I called him back and we talked a little before my mom came in to tell me about how I had to go out with this guy that I hate."

Her Dad looked at her, "But how did you end up here?"

"Right well I hadn't planned on running here, but I knew I wanted to see Stiles so I thought it was the perfect opportunity. I went out with that guy and he tried to do things with me that I didn't want him to do" At that she felt Stiles and Scott tense up.

"So I finally got away from him and ran home. I grabbed my things and ran to the train station where I bought a ticket to Beacon Hills and here I am." She finished her story with a sigh and looked up at her Dad.

"Well I guess we'll have to call your parents if-" he was cut off by Mackenzie screaming "NO!"

"Please don't call my parents" she pleaded "they would call me if they really missed me but please don't call them at least for a few days. Please"

"Okay I want you to stay too. If they call than-" He was cut off by Mackenzie's phone ringing. It was her mom. The Sheriff answered it and went into conversation with Mackenzie's mom. As they were talking on the phone the three of them stepped outside to talk. "I'm so happy that I came here" she smiled up at them.

Stiles smiled back at her and he said, "I'm happy you did too" as he hugged her again. "But I thought you didn't remember me when I called?"

"Oh yeah, I didn't. It wasn't until I saw you in person that I remembered everything. It was really weird because I couldn't remember anything before I was like 5 years old and then when I saw you it was like all of my memories came flooding back to me"

Scott and Stiles shared a look and were about to say something but that's when the Sheriff came out of his office.

He had a look of mixed emotions. He looked at Mackenzie as he spoke, "I'm sorry Mackenzie but I don't know if this will make you happy or upset"

Scott could hear Mackenzie's heartbeat quicken as she waited for her Dad to continue.

"Your mom told me that if you ran away, she doesn't want that type of person in her home so she doesn't want you to go back. But it told her it was fine and you can stay with us. She didn't want to hear anything from me so she hung up but I can arrange for the adoption to be dissolved so that I will be your legal guardian again."

Mackenzie didn't know if she was happy she could stay or upset that the people she thought loved her, never actually did. She looked up at her Dad, "It's alright I knew that they never loved me anyway." She sighed "But does this mean that I can stay with you guys now?" She asked with hope in her voice.

Sheriff Stilinski looked down at her and smiled, "Of course you can. You can live with us and you can go to school with Stiles so he can look out for you." She looked up at Stiles as he replied, "Yeah totally me and Scott both."

Mackenzie smiled so big and squealed, "Yay!" and ran after her Dad into his office. The Sheriff called the school and started arranging to get Mackenzie into school. It was Sunday so he could get her to start tomorrow but he thought she could use a day or two off. He settled on letting her start on Tuesday so she could have an extra day to get settled but she could be with Stiles and Scott at school since he had to go to work.

He got her all situated before sitting down at his desk to just have a calm conversation with the daughter that he missed so dearly.

But outside there was a different conversation being held. As soon as Mackenzie skipped into the Sheriff's office Stiles turned to Scott, "Listen dude Kenzie doesn't know anything about supernatural or anything and I want it to stay that way."

Scott looked at him skeptically, "Okay but do you really think it'll be easy to have a good relationship with her if you are lying to her about half of your life?"

"Look Scott I already lost her once, I do not plan on losing her again!"

Scott looked shocked at Stiles' sudden outburst. Stiles looked at him with sad eyes, "I'm sorry man I just really missed her and if she gets tangled up in all this and she gets hurt, I'll never be able to forgive myself."

"It's okay Stiles you can feel protective of her, she's your little sister. So if you really want, we'll keep all the supernatural business private and away from her."

Stiles looks at Scott with gratitude and says, "Thanks man."

"No problem, I got it, no werewolf stuff around Kenzie."

As Stiles turned to go into the office Scott sighed,

"Especially with all of the assassins, and the dead pool, and the fact that all of our friends are supernatural.

Yup should be super easy."
