Chapter 6

Shock

Scott heard Lydia scream Allison's name as he emerged from the tunnel to a fenced gate and saw the Oni's sword being pulled out from Allison's chest. Scott shoved the gate open and ran forward grabbing Allison as she fell. He vaguely was aware that the Oni left. Scott fell to his knees holding onto Allison. He pulled her into his arms; he brushed her hair out of her eyes. Allison looked at him still in shock. "Allison."

Allison was gasping for breath. "Did you find her? Is she okay? Is Lydia safe?"

Scott nodded. "She's ok. Yeah."

Allison nodded. "Yeah."

Scott repeated himself. "Yeah."

Scott grabbed Allison's wrist, trying to take her pain away. "I can't…I can't take your pain."

Allison was looking up at Scott. "It's because it doesn't hurt."

Scott's voice was thick with emotion. "No."

Allison continued to look at Scott. "It's okay."

"Allison."

Allison was crying and she nodded her head. "It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. It's perfect."

Scott was starting to cry. He felt absolutely helpless. Scott looked into Allison's face as she spoke. "I'm in the arms of my first love." Allison grimaced, but she continued to speak. "The first person I ever loved. The person I'll always love. I love you. Scott. Scott McCall."

Scott choked a sob out. "Don't please, don't."

Scott's tears started to fall. "Allison don't, please."

Allison's voice became a little raspy. "You have to tell my dad. And you have to tell my dad. Tell Him."

Scott nodded. Allison started to stutter, but she couldn't say anything. Then her eyes closed as she passed. Scott choked out. "NO!"

Scott started to sob and he placed a kiss on Allison's forehead.

Scott blinked as he remembered that night, that horrible night. That horrid night that Allison had died in his arms. But all he could do now was stare at whoever this was in front of him. The same was with Aiden, both he and Allison had been killed by the Oni within hours of each other. There is no way that either one of them could be alive.

But here they both were standing next to this man who introduced himself as Alexander. Scott didn't understand how they could be alive. He remembered being there at the cemetery as they laid both of them into their graves. Scott focused his eyes on Allison. "Allison?"

Allison stared at Scott with contempt. "I told you that I was coming for you."

Scott picked up that Allison seemed to be radiating with anger, and it seemed to be directed right at him. Scott watched her collapse her cross bow, and then put it into a holster.

Alexander looked at the shocked looks on everyone's faces, and he let out a small chuckle and clapped his hands and then pointed at everyone. "As I am sure that you all have figured out by now, yes I am responsible for Aiden and Allison for being alive."

Stiles recovered first from his shock. "Allison and Aiden are both dead. I bet that this isn't even them."

Alexander turned to look at Stiles. "Oh, rest assured it is them. It is part of what I can do. It's part of my existence. You don't think that my spirit hasn't found a way to protect itself in several thousand years?"

"What are you?" Liam asked heatedly.

Alexander turned his attention to Liam and pointed at him. "Ding, ding, ding, ding, we have a winner. You should deserve a prize for asking a very good question. However I don't have time for the pleasantries. I am leaving here with Lydia.

Scott growled. "Lydia, is not going anywhere with you."

Alexander smiled at Scott. "Ah, but I beg to differ."

Alexander let out another birdlike sound and Aiden and Allison were moving and then the fight was on.

Aiden collided with both Liam and Malia as they began to tear into each other. Allison headed straight for Scott and Hayden. Ethan ran towards Alexander with Stiles close on his heels. Scott wasn't sure what happened to Lydia as everything went into motion.

Scott wasn't expecting the speed that Allison came at him with. She pulled a knife and thrust it forward cutting Scott across his forearm. The speed that Allison was moving with was unfamiliar to him. When they had their mock fight that one time, Scott was clearly the better individual with the speed and strength. But now it seemed like they were on a more even footing in speed and strength.

Scott ducked another swing and rolled to his left. He noticed that Hayden ran towards Allison, but Allison was ready for her. Allison blocked both swings from Hayden and then she quickly rotated the knife and she did an uppercut with the knife grazing Hayden's side from her hip to her collarbone, and then Allison kicked Hayden square in the chest knocking her backwards. Scott roared at Allison and he ran at her. Allison smiled at him. "This is going to be fun."

Scott tackled Allison to the ground and they went rolling across the ground. At some point Allison lost her knife, and Scott thought that he had the upper hand now, only to be proven wrong. Allison screamed in frustration that had a bird like sound to it and Allison's face changed a little to a light tan color and a pattern emerged onto her face briefly that gave Scott the impression of feathers, but Scott felt something sharp pierce his chest. He glanced down to see that Allison had what appeared to be bird talons on the ends of her fingers as they were shoved into his chest. Scott shoved Allison off of him and she landed ever so gracefully away from him. Scott then noticed Hayden running up from behind Allison and managed to land a good punch on Allison.

Allison recovered quickly from the punch and she then took three quick swipes at Hayden, and before Allison could do another swing om Hayden, Scott ran at Allison and he did a flying kick knocking Allison back again. But suddenly there was someone screaming in pain, and then what sounded like a bird call. Allison looked towards Alexander who was lying on the ground clutching at his chest. Allison gave a running jump and she landed next to Alexander, with Aiden landing next to them two seconds later. Allison then clawed at Ethan, who had just rushed forward and she grabbed his arm and swung him forcing him to land at Scott's feet. Stiles came in for a swing, but Aiden grabbed the bat and then grabbed Stiles by the throat and then launched him into the air having him land on top of Ethan who was getting up. Aiden then broke the aluminum bat in half.

Scott and his pack gathered around each other breathing hard. Scott noticed Liam to his front left with a busted lip and breathing hard. Alexander looked to Allison who nodded and she stood and reached around and pulled out her crossbow and quickly loaded it with an arrow. She then fired the arrow and Scott had to shield his eyes as a bright light appeared. Scott heard three more shots fired and there were a few more flashes and then an overpowering smell hit Scott's sense of smell. As Scott tried get his eyes to adjust he felt himself get shoved to the ground and he heard someone yell out in pain.

As Scott's eyes adjusted he glanced around at the group. "Is everyone ok?"

Scott heard everyone say that they were. But Scott felt like something was wrong as he blinked his eyes to try and get them stop making everything blurry. Scott heard Malia. "Where's Liam?"

Scott's eyes snapped open and he started to look around, now that his eyes had adjusted. Liam was nowhere in sight. "LIAM!" Scott yelled. "LIAM, WHERE ARE YOU?"

There was no answer. Scott dug deep down and he let out a roar that had everyone on edge. It was a roar that no one had ever heard before and it seemed to unsettle everyone, especially Ethan, Malia, and Hayden. Scott waited a few minutes and then howled again. Scott dropped to his knees and he raised his fist and he brought it down on top of piece of sidewalk in front of him and watched it break cleanly in two. "I can't go through this again."

Liam was breathing hard. Whatever these things were they were going to be tough to beat. Liam saw Allison, he recognized her from that picture on Scott's Christmas tree, load her crossbow and fire an arrow and causing everyone to shield their eyes. Liam felt a sudden urge to get Scott out of the way. Liam rushed forward to his right, where Scott was standing, and he shoved whoever it was, hopefully it was Scott, as hard as he could to the ground. About two seconds later Liam felt something pierce his shoulder and then he felt himself getting yanked off of his feet and then getting dragged. Liam cried out in pain, but after a short moment he saw the face of Aiden above him and he felt something connect with his face and then he was consumed in blackness.

Lydia wasn't even sure how they all managed to get to the Animal Shelter in the aftermath of what had just happened. Lydia felt like she was on autopilot or something as she watched the chaos in front of her. She remembered helping carry Hayden into the room and laying her on the table and Deaton hurrying around to get her stitched up. She remembered seeing Chris with his gun drawn as they all burst into the examination room from the back door, but he quickly holstered it as he helped Ethan and Stiles. Scott looked like hell, but Lydia wasn't sure how he was holding up.

Lydia jumped about a foot in the air when she felt a hand land or shoulder and she turned and quickly attempted to attack whoever it was, but only to find a very surprised looking Derek, holding up his hands. "Lydia, it's okay, you're safe now."

Lydia sighed. "Sorry, Derek, I am a little on edge after that fight."

Derek folded his arms and nodded. "I get that. What happened?"

Lydia looked around. "Wait a minute; this is going to be taxing for all of us, especially for Scott, Chris and Ethan."

Derek nodded, and then he moved to go look at Stiles, who was getting treated by Chris. Lydia sighed trying to release some stress, but it wasn't very effective. She was still pulsing with adrenaline from the fight. The back door opened up again and Lydia turned ready for another fight, but she relaxed when she saw two teens walk in. One of them was tall with curly brownish blonde hair and the other had short styled blonde hair with a look of superiority on his face. Lydia rushed forward and she wrapped her arms around Jackson.

Jackson surprised by the sudden appearance was unsure of what to do, but after a minute he wrapped his arms around Lydia. Lydia after a minute let him go. She turned around and she saw that Hayden was mostly stitched up. Malia had her arms bandaged and Ethan had his arm in a sling. Derek had moved and was now placing bandages on Scott's chest. A few minutes later after everyone was bandaged up that Deaton finally looked at the assembled group. "So, what happened?"

Lydia noticed that Stiles was starting to sport a black eye and he had his wrist in a splint as he spoke. "Those things that we thought were after Scott and Lydia, are actually after Lydia. Plus there are three of them, and the one can bring people back from the dead and he has brought both Aiden and Allison back to life."

"What?" Chris Argent asked in a very shocked voice.

Lydia cleared her throat. "It's true, whatever this creature is, it has the ability to bring the dead back to life. He told us himself that he brought Allison and Aiden back to life."

"Wait you mean to tell me that Allison actually died?"

Every head in the room turned to look at Jackson. Jackson shrugged. "Sorry, I didn't keep up with anyone after I left except for Danny. He didn't say anything about her dying and I still don't even know how McCall got my new phone number in London."

Malia frowned. "She was dead."

"Thanks for that Miss Tactful." Stiles said.

Derek cleared his throat. "I am still not clear as to what is going on."

Lydia quickly explained what had been happening and then the fight that had just occurred earlier. As Lydia spoke she saw that Derek, Jackson and Isaac were beyond surprised about what was going on. Once Lydia was finished speaking Derek looked to Scott. "Do you know why they would take Liam?"

Scott who had been surprisingly quiet through everything spoke. "No, I don't."

Derek nodded. "What else happened?"

Scott looked up from the floor. "Alexander had collapsed and Allison and Aiden moved to his side and then Allison fired some flare arrows which had blinded us and then the area was engulfed in something and I couldn't smell anything. "

"What was the smell of?" Chris asked.

Scott thought for a minute. "I want to say like spices. Kind of like a pepper spray or something like that."

Chris nodded. "Aroma flares. Kate invented them when we were teenagers. They were designed to make it so that a werewolf or similar creature couldn't use its sense of smell to track us. We had only used them a few times on a few missions with some big packs that had nasty reputations."

Ethan sneezed. "Well how long do these Aroma Flares last?"

Chris shrugged. "It's hard to say. I would say a day or two, but I could be wrong. We never really figured that we would need to know."

Malia was rubbing her nose. "Well, just so you know this is burning my nose."

Deaton moved and looked Malia over. "You should be fine, just try not to irritate your nose."

Isaac who had been quiet finally spoke. "So why do they want Lydia?"

Everyone looked at everyone else. Scott cleared his throat. "Alexander said something about needing a Banshee."

Isaac glanced around the room. "What other powers do Banshee's have?"

Deaton cleared his throat. "Banshee's are mainly known to predict death. But as far as I know that is the limit to what a Banshee's power can do. Well without some sort of augmentation."

"Like what Doctor Valack tried to do." Stiles stated.

Deaton nodded. "But I am at a loss as to why he wants you."

Everyone jumped when a load bang came from where Scott was sitting. The side of the medicine cart was all caved in from where Scott's fist had connected with it. "I can't do this again to him. I have failed Liam three times now."

And with that everyone watched in shock as Scott broke down and cried.

Liam felt like the side of his head was four times bigger than it should be. Liam saw blackness, but he quickly realized that his eyes were closed and opened them. Looking around Liam couldn't tell where he was. There was nothing to really give him an idea as to where he was. Liam went to move, but felt his arms were tied as well as his legs.

Letting out an irritated sigh, Liam sort of crawled over to the wall and managed to get himself into a sitting a position on the floor. Liam sighed again and closed his eyes and he focused on his hearing. Liam didn't pick up anything at first, but he soon picked up at first what he thought were birds twittering and making noise, but only to realize that he was actually hearing Allison and Aiden arguing.

"Nice shot, we got Scott's beta, and no Scott."

"Don't blame this on me, Aiden. How was I supposed to know that he would move in front of Scott?"

"I told you, it's a Beta's job to protect its Alpha at all costs. You should have anticipated it!"

"Oh like you were doing anything useful."

There was a sound that sounded like the mixture of a werewolf roar and a bird.

"Stop it, both of you." Alexander said. "Since we didn't get Scott, we got the next best thing, his actual Beta."

"And how is that the next best thing?" Allison asked annoyed.

Liam could hear the smile in Alexander's voice when he spoke. "Because my dear, he is Scott's bitten Beta. It is because of being bitten by Scott that he has a stronger bond to him, more so than any other werewolf does in Scott's pack."

"I still say that we should kill him. He isn't going to get us any closer to Lydia." Aiden said.

Liam could now make out footsteps and could tell that they were coming towards him. "No, we don't need to kill him. At the very least right now, for Liam could prove to be a very valuable asset in getting us to our goals."

"You said that I could kill, Scott." Allison said.

"And you said that I could kill my brother." Aiden said,

Alexander sighed as he entered the room where Liam was flanked on either side of him Allison and Aiden. "Yes, you both can kill Scott and Ethan, but only after we get Lydia."

Alexander looked around the room after he looked at Allison and Aiden, and then his eyes landed on Liam, who was staring up at Alexander with hate and contempt. "Ah, I see that our guest is awake."

"Scott will defeat you." Liam said.

Alexander laughed. "I have heard those words before, and I am sorry to say that I always get what I want in the end."

"Everyone that has tried to oppose Scott has been beaten. That includes Peter twice, Deucalion, The Beast, Dread Doctors, Kate, a Darach, and a Nogitsune. Whatever you are, he will defeat you as well."

Alexander frowned as he looked at Liam. But he stepped forward and then kneeled to look Liam more evenly in the eyes. "Your faith in Scott is admirable. But Scott hasn't faced anything that is the likes of me. I have lived for thousands of years. I have survived encounters with werewolves, Berserkers, and Hunters like the Argents, and among other things."

Liam continued to glare. "He will defeat you."

Alexander chuckled. "We will see. But right now I need information from you and you're going to give it to me."

Liam snorted and chuckled. "You're crazy if you think that I am going tell you a damn thing."

Alexander gave Liam a smile that made him feel like this wasn't going to be good. "My you are a feisty one. But it doesn't matter; you won't have a choice in telling me what I want to know."

"I'm not telling you a thing."

The smile on Alexander turned into a smirk. "It's funny that you think that." Alexander then stood and looked down at Liam. "It's part of what I can do. I can control people and they won't realize that the reason that what they're doing is because I compelled them to do it."

Liam gave a sarcastic laugh. "Mind control? That's an old one; everyone knows that you can't control someone's mind. Why don't you try something a little more 21st century?"

Alexander crossed the room and grabbed a chair that was sitting next to a desk. "I don't think so, Liam. I think I will stay with something that has worked for me since the great Odysseus sailed home from Troy."

Liam felt like there should have been a joke there. "What?"

Alexander smiled again making Liam feel unnerved. "The Ancient Greeks wrote about me in the great tale known as the Odyssey. You see Liam, I am a Siren. Although I realize that humans think of me as someone who sings and lures sailors to their deaths, and look like a woman thanks to Homer. But you know truth is stranger than fiction they say. So like I said you will talk whether you want to or not."

Liam blinked. "You're a what?"

"A Siren, but I am a spirit like the Nogitsune that Scott fought. However unlike the Nogitsune, I have to remain in the body, I just can't separate like it did."

Liam frowned. "Body? Is that why you want Lydia? You want to kill her?"

Alexander shook his head. "I need a Banshee in order to survive. We have other things to discuss."

Before Liam could say anything, he saw that Alexander's eyes change to Amethyst purple, and his voice changed slightly. It almost had a musical quality to it. "Tell me Liam; tell me something about Scott McCall?"

Liam felt his eyes become unfocused, and before Liam knew what was happening, he replied. "I am in love with Scott McCall. I have been for a while now."

The look on Alexander's face was full of excitement. Like a little kid who saw the mountain of presents under the tree on Christmas morning.

Scott had been running for a few hours. Shortly after he stopped crying, he left the Animal Shelter, where Stiles and Lydia tried to stop him from leaving. Derek had moved and in a very unlike Scott move, he flared his red eyes and roared at Derek to move. After Derek stepped aside Scott went out the back door and started to run.

Scott was running through Beacon Hills Preserve when he fell. Scott hadn't been paying attention to his surroundings for a while and when he looked back he saw that he had tripped over a fallen tree, specifically he tripped over the exposed roots. Scott got up on this hands and knees and he clenched his fists and he brought them both down hard into the ground and he then jerked himself back and let loose a roar. The roar was full of anger, sorrow and frustration.

"Scott, are you alright?"

Scott turned on his knees and looked over and saw Derek standing there with his eyes glowing yellow on top of the fallen tree. "Derek, I am sorry that I roared at you back at the shelter."

Derek jumped down and he walked up to Scott and offered him a hand up. "I understand. I really do, I know that Liam means a lot to you."

Scott brushed the leaves off his knees. "I have failed him three times Derek, this is the third time that I have let him down. I am a horrible Alpha. I knew that I wasn't cut out for this."

Derek reached out and put a hand on Scott's shoulder. "Scott, like I told you, you are good at this. Granted you're not turning everyone into a werewolf like I was trying to do. So what if you let him down, it only means that you're human."

Scott sighed and looked up through the canopy of the trees. "Derek, I failed him when I let him get caught by the Dread Doctors, and when I said that I wouldn't bite Hayden the first time causing her to die. I can't even protect him."

Derek dropped his hand and he looked to his left. "From what Lydia tells me, you have been really good with him. Granted he had a few slip ups, but he is doing well under your guidance. I didn't even know until tonight about Hayden."

Scott sighed and looked back at Derek. "What do I do, Derek?"

Derek brought his attention back to Scott. "First you need to pull yourself together and be the strong, True Alpha that you are. Then we figure out how we're going to get Liam back and then how we're going to keep this guy from getting Lydia."

Scott nodded and he looked at the ground for a moment before he looked back up at Derek. "You're right. I have missed your advice this last year."

Derek smiled. "I will admit that yeah I have missed you as well."

Scott let a smile slip. "Even Stiles?"

Derek rolled his eyes. "Ok, maybe even Stiles too a little bit. Come one let's get to your place, Deaton sent everyone home, and Stiles made everyone head to your house."

Scott nodded as started to follow Derek.

Liam was blinking furiously as he sat against the wall. The last thing that he remembered was Alexander's eyes glowing Amethyst and then nothing. He looked around and noticed that Alexander was on the opposite side of the room talking to Allison and Aiden.

"This is too good."

"How is that that?" Allison asked.

Alexander smiled. "Well you heard him. He is in love with Scott. It is absolutely perfect."

"How is this perfect?" Aiden asked confused.

Liam saw that Alexander looked at them like they idiots. "Liam loves Scott, and he is afraid to act on his feelings for Scott, fear of how Scott will react."

Liam grew angry with himself as he realized that Alexander had been right and he did give him information whether he wanted to or not. And worst of all, his biggest secret is out to this creep who wants to exploit it.

Apparently still not following Alexander sighs. "I will make it to where Liam is not afraid to act on his love for Scott, and since I am sure that Scott doesn't feel the same way, he is going to have his hands full dealing with Liam, which will make it easier to for us to get to Lydia."

There was two beats before Aiden spoke. "I still say that we should kill him."

Allison nodded. "It would only serve as a way to break Scott down."

Alexander shook his head. "This is what we're going to do. Just be ready to act on things."

Liam saw Alexander stride back over to the chair in front of him and sit. Liam glared at Alexander. "I am going to rip your balls off and make you eat them."

Alexander laughed. "I got to say kid, I love your spirit. But you're going to be my new pawn."

Before Liam could retort, Alexander's eyes started to glow again and his voice changed to a more suggestive tone, and again Liam felt his eyes become unfocused. "Liam, when you awake, you will no longer have any fear about your feelings for Scott. You're going to act on your love for him even if doesn't return your feelings. When I snap my fingers, you won't remember this suggestion."

With that Alexander snapped his fingers and Liam's eyes became focused again. Liam glared at Alexander after he blinked again. "Scott, will find me and he is going to kick your ass."

Next thing that Liam knew, Aiden walked over and threw a punch, again knocking Liam out.
