(Taylor Swift Featuring The Civil Wars-Safe And Sound)
Eli P.O.V
Then:
"Now!" I heard someone shout. That's when an arrow flew directly towards Alex and she ducked as the arrow implanted in a tree and a light bulb went off. Alex tried to cover her eyes as she was a little dazed. Others than began shooting. Alex jumped up as she dodged as many as she could. Fabian growled once he was out of ammo he pushed me as he said "what are you waiting for shoot! Shoot her, shoot her! Damn it, shoot her now!" I released the arrow and it pierced the air as it hit its target, Alex, who was too busy to notice me. I slowly unfroze and shoved Fabian. "Alex!" I shouted as I saw her fall down to the ground not moving.
Now:
Alex P.O.V
Pain. Pain is an unpleasant sensation occurring in varying degrees of severity as a consequence of injury, disease or emotional disorder. Suffering or distress. Yeah, well none of that amounted to what I felt now. It felt like dozens of little needle prickling me. I saw hazy for a moment, and I slowly sat up as I saw figures approaching. I numbly saw the arrow in my side. I grasped it in my hand as I broke it in half and then yanked it out. I stood up shakily and my body tried to heal itself. I looked at the injury and saw it healing. I finally growled out "give me my son." I advanced onto my attackers. "Didn't you know Omega's are weak on their own?" I saw him aim at me and I violently moved away and dodged the bullet as I ran at him as I bared my canines at him. I grabbed him by the throat and in front of me as a shield. I growled out "anyone moves and he's dead." I saw two hunters come out the woods and I placed my claws at his throat. I walked towards Rome and hurriedly cut his rope with two sweeps of my nails.
I was in control of my wolf. I was angry but at the same time worried about Rome. And that is what gave me control. As I guided Rome behind me with one hand I kept a hand to the man's throat. Viktor Belen now that I saw Eli was among the hunters. He had shot me. I hurriedly moved Viktor and shoved him to the ground and was about to run when I got shot in my hamstring in both my legs. I immediately went down. I pushed Rome behind me as I had fallen to my knees. I looked up and came face-to-face with Fabian, Eli's uncle.
"Isn't this a surprise?" He said. I scowled at him. As my leg healed he shot them both in the same place again along with my hand. I yelled out in pain. Viktor said "no, no torture, we have to kill it." That's when Eli spoke "no. We have to follow the code." I looked at him to see him staring at me with some emotion in his eyes. Viktor said "she killed those in the Hale house, she committed arson, besides she's alone. Seems like her alpha left her." I growled out and Fabian shot my legs again, while shooting my side. I whimpered as I bit out "I…didn't kill anybody." Eli said "you said this happened 6 years ago? How could she do it if she was only 12?" Fabian glared at him as he said "whose side are you on?" Eli glowered at him as he answered "I'm just stating the facts. I never liked that Kate woman, she seems like the type of hunter you usually tell us to stay away from." Viktor said "Kate told us the alpha would be here, where is it?" I gasped out "she-" Fabian again shot me in my legs, side, hand and now shoulder. Fabian took out a necklace as he said "she said it would recognize it." I said "that's mine," Eli snatched it as he observed it and he started putting the pieces together. Fabian said "Shut up!" He shot me again in my side, legs, and calf.
Rome was fearfully behind me, crouched. Eli said "Fabian, call Chris. I think Kate played us all." Viktor nodded at him to do so and Fabian immediately called Chris. I looked at Eli and gasped out "thank…you, Eli." He looked at me but there was something cold there in his eyes as he said "I didn't do it for you." I sat up, Rome still humming the lullaby I tried to say something "Eli"- he shook his head as he said "I don't want to hear it, Alex. As long as I'm concerned you're a werewolf and I'm a hunter, alright? You're not the girl I knew, you've been lying to me this whole time." I shook my head as I said "no, I haven't. Everything I felt, everything I told you was real, and it was true." He crouched beside me as he said "stop lying, you just keep lying Alex. You had me fooled but now I see you for what you are, a ruthless, dangerous, and vile monster." My eyes watered as he said that and Viktor who was standing beside him looked away. I looked away from Eli and suddenly Fabian came back still talking on his phone as he said "so that's it? Hale house? Alright."
Viktor raised his eyebrows and Fabian ignored him. I crawled away some with Rome so I could make our escape. Viktor hung up as he said "Chris just told me Kate committed the arson on the Hale family." I looked up relieved that at least someone figured it out besides Derek. As I backed away Fabian came near me "but what do we do with you?" I gulped as I said "I thought you had a moral code." Fabian mocked "sadly. So you haven't killed anyone have you?" I answered "no." Viktor asked "how long ago were you bitten?" I answered "about a week ago." Fabian asked "how old are you?" I answered honestly "eighteen." Fabian said "so you're an adult now. Let's get some rules settled. You kill anyone; we hunt you and kill you. Sorry, but you're officially of age which means you screw up once and you're dead." I said "I know who the alpha is," all three men looked at me. Fabian said "alright, who is it." I shook my head as I said "it doesn't work that way." Viktor asked "what do you want?" Fabian shot him a look. I answered "I don't want anyone to know what I am. You can't tell anyone." Fabian shrugged and Viktor nodded as he said "simple enough. Alright, you have my word we won't say a thing about you. Now who's the alpha?" I answered "Peter Hale."
That's when my phone rang. I reached for my phone but Fabian aimed the gun at me. I flinched and Viktor told Eli "grab her phone." Eli reached into my jeans and took my phone out while saying "it's Stiles. A friend of ours." Eli gave it back to me and Fabian said "answer it. One word about us and this bullet goes through your head." Viktor shook his head at him. I answered it shakily "S-Stiles?" He answered "thank god. Alex, Peter kidnapped me, but he let me go. I think he's going to kill Kate Argent! We all know she committed arson. Allison's dad headed to Derek's house. Jackson and I are on our way." I asked "so Kate's there? And Peter?" The three hunters turned to me. Stiles answered "yeah, Kate dragged Allison there and I think she wants to kill Scott and Derek. Peter left too. I think there both there and Peter wants revenge so I think he wants to kill her there."
I said "alright I'm on my way, Stiles." He said "about what happened at the formal…were going to talk about it later, you understand?" I said "yeah, later, bye Stiles." I hung up as I looked up at the hunters "I know where the alpha is going to be tonight, and where Kate is."

I looked up from my seat at the back of the SUV. Besides Eli, Fabian, and Viktor there were two other hunters there. I sat in the back with Rome as Viktor drove to the Hale house. I tried to catch Eli's gaze but he averted mine and I decided to let him drown himself in his thoughts. Rome was tucked fearfully in my arms as his head was in the crook of my neck as I soothingly stroke his hair. I could hear Viktor and Fabian arguing. Fabian argued that it was a set up and Viktor argued that it wasn't. As we reached the Hale house a silver Porsche was speeding in front of us. "Stiles," I mumbled in confusion as to why he had Jackson's Porsche and not his Jeep. I shook my head. I hummed to Rome silently.
"Curled up to this lullaby,
Even when the music's gone,
Gone"
As we sped to the Hale house I wondered what the hell was going on. "You stay inside, got it Rome?" Rome nodded at my command. As we pulled up to Stiles and Jackson who had parked away from the alpha. We all ran out and Stiles threw a chemical bomb at the alpha. Unluckily the alpha caught it in his hand. I looked around but I couldn't catch a glimpse of Derek. Viktor and Fabian started shooting at it. I looked at Eli who had his crossbow and yelled "Eli, shoot!" he turned and looked at me as I motioned to his bow which he readied and I heard Scott call Allison's name. As one Eli and Allison fired there arrows from opposite sides and hit their mark, the bottle. The alpha's arm busted into flames. Jackson took the opportunity to throw another one at the alpha and he howled in pain.
As the alpha fell to the ground it reached for Allison which Scott saw and kicked him away from her. The alpha stumbled and morphed back into Peter. I looked at him and pity filled me as I saw him burnt almost to death. I sighed relieved and sadly. I look at Eli who is looking at Allison and Scott kissing. Chris woke up. The reason he had wanted revenge was because of the fire and he died because of fire. I slowly looked away as tears pricked my eyes. Stiles who noticed me wrapped an arm around my shoulders. I leaned into his hug. "Alex…" I looked up to meet Eli's gaze. I step away from Stiles and say "I…" I cut myself off as I look up and see Derek come out of nowhere and crouch by Peter. "Derek wait, you said the cure comes from the one who bit you. Derek if you do this I'm dead. Her father, her family, what am I supposed to do?" I looked at Scott who was trying to talk Derek out of killing Peter.
I said "Derek, please." I moved forward and Eli grabbed my arm and held me back. Derek took a step away as if considering it. Since I had werewolf hearing I listened as Peter whispered "it's…never…gonna…be you…she'll…never…go…for you…you…already…decided…I can smell it on you!" Derek lifted his hand as Scott protested "Derek wait-no Derek!" He slashed Peter's throat. He faced us all as he said "I'm the alpha now." My heart stopped as his eyes flashed red. He looked at me one time and ran into the woods. There was a lump in my throat. "Alex…" I looked up to meet Eli's gaze. I muttered "yeah?" He grabbed my chin and tilted it up as he examined me. He said "I'm sorry…about what I said. I didn't mean it. I just-I had to say that to make it believable for them." He motioned to Fabian and Viktor who were talking to Chris.
"Just close your eyes, the sun is going down
You'll be alright; no one can hurt you now
Come morning light, you'll and I be safe and sound"
I asked "this changes things…doesn't it?" He laughed without humor as he said "yes and no. It changes everything…but not the way I feel about you." I looked up at him confusedly as he said "Alex…if you hadn't noticed…I'm crazy about you." My eyes widened at him. "I-I-I"- he cut me off saying "I know. I know you don't feel this way, but I'm not giving up on you for what you are, and I'm not giving up on us." I looked at him in amazement as I tried to say something "I-I-I"- he cut me off as he grasped my chin in his two fingers as he said "you don't have to say anything Alex because there is nothing to say. I know that-I know that you care about Derek Hale, but he's not good for you, and he's going to have some competition." I stuttered as he placed a kiss on my forehead and ran to the SUV and grabbed Rome as he brought him over to me and with one last look at me walked back to the SUV where his family was.
I shook my head and held onto Rome. I asked "you okay pumpkin?" He shrugged as he said "I miss daddy," and I said "well, how about I read you a story later hmm? And tomorrow we go to the park?" Rome smiled as his dimples showed. Stiles wrapped an arm over my shoulders as he said "I think you and I have a conversation waiting." I groaned as I said "tomorrow please." He nodded and guided me to the Porsche as I said "don't tell anyone, Stiles. I'm gonna explain everything tomorrow."
He nodded and Scott approached us as he and I stuffed ourselves in the back while I sat Rome on my lap. The ride was silent as Jackson dropped off Stiles first then Scott, Rome, and I. I thanked him for the ride. As we got out I slugged and arm over Scott's shoulder's while the other held Rome. I said "so…you okay?" He nodded as he said "yeah, I feel great. Allison knows what I am and she doesn't hate me. Her family knows and that scares me." He shuddered and I shook my head. I said "we're one weird family." He chuckled as I opened the door with my key since mom had the late shift. I swiftly showered. I peered into Scott's room to see the window open and him gone. I rolled my eyes, he went to Allison's. I silently trekked to Rome's room where he was on a stool brushing his teeth.
I questioned "so what'll it be Rome?" Rome took a minute and the slowly walked out of his bathroom as he said "the three little pigs!" I chuckled as I said "alright, Rome." I tucked him in and walked to his bookshelf and pulled out the thick Grimm Brothers Fairytale book. As I was halfway thru Rome softly snored and I stopped reading as I placed the book back on the shelf. I kissed his forehead and ruffled his hair fondly. I muttered "sweet dreams, Rome."
"Just close your eyes,
You'll be alright"
I smiled at him and turned off the light and made my way to my room. As I closed my door I felt a pulse of air and swiftly turned around. Derek stood at my window. "What are you doing here?" I asked. Derek shrugged as he said "visiting." I gulped as I looked away from him. I didn't want him to find out about me being a werewolf. He said "so a hunter huh?" I raised an eyebrow at him and he said "the Belen kid." I questioned "what about him?"
He asked "you seeing him?" I shook my head in disbelief as I said "what does he have to do with anything?" He sighed and asked "are you seeing him Alex?" I answered "no, I'm not. But that's not any of your business anyway." His posture seemed to relax as he leaned on the window. "Kate's dead." He stated and I replied "well, good riddance." He raised an eyebrow and I shrugged. I asked "now, why are you really here?"
"Come morning light
You'll and I be safe and sound"
He looked at me and said "I'm going to leave Beacon Hills." I froze as I asked "what?" Derek looked me in the eye as he said "just for a month I think. I just need to think and process." As he looked at me I asked "process what? Being the alpha...Or me?" Derek closed his eyes and answered "both. Just try to not die while I'm gone alright?" I nodded and he said "that Belen kid, he said he's gonna fight for you right?" My eyes widened at him as I gave a small nod. He turned to leave as he said "tell him it's on. He's not going be the only one fighting for you."
He turned to look at me and my heart started pounding as he said "and tell Rome…that I'll see him soon. Don't forget Alex, be careful." With that he jumped out of the window and I stared at the window shocked.

Epilogue: (sort of)
17 Days later:
I stumbled through the tunnels. It was the afternoon of the full moon. My first full moon. I brought chains and everything to tie me up. After Derek left Lydia entered a coma, I begged Stiles to not to tell and he swore on the best friend oath, Allison and Scott were seeing each other secretly, Eli was fighting with his uncle. A lot was going on and I knew there was more to come. I was four towns away from Beacon Hills I was underground with a chain wrapped around arms and neck and feet. I had to make sure I didn't kill anyone. I had parked my car hidden in the woods. Rome was sleeping at Gloria's and Stiles was covering for me as he told Gloria we were having a sleepover.
I finally made it to where there was a gate in the ruins that could lock itself and I decided to set up there. I slowly slid down the wall as I caught the glimpse of the night turning darker through the ceiling. The ceiling had tears in it where rain was leaking through and was making a puddle. The noise of the water was okay to me as I shut my eyes. My emotions were everywhere. Anticipation and anxiousness were the strongest. I heavily breathed in the musky air from the dirt and let my mind wander. Derek had been gone 17 days and I missed his impromptu visits. Eli had been right, I cared about Derek, and I cared about him more than I have any guy before including Stiles. I wondered if he was alright or if he thought about me as much as I did.
I shook my head as I saw the moon was brighter and full. I felt the change start as I got angry. Who needed Derek? I didn't! I didn't care if he thought about me I didn't give a chizz what he thought about! I shook my head as these thoughts passed through my head because of the change. Another thought raced through my head He was the one who left, him only him. I felt the change occur and I let it slowly take place as I rapidly changed my thoughts to Rome. My nails grew, my face turned more sharper and defined. I clenched my hands on the chains. As I felt my vision turn red. I yelped as I closed my eyes and tried yanking on my chains to set me free. I closed my eyes again and I looked at the puddle beside me. My eyes were no longer blue, they were violet.
"Oooh,
Oooh"
