I sprayed the hairspray through my hair, shaking out the curls as I did then set down the canister and looked in the mirror, every time I looked in the mirror the past couple of weeks I couldn't help but see the little girl from my vision, my daughter
I sighed and reached up touching my left shoulder blade where my tattoo was and saw my bracelet with a wolf pendant on it in the mirror, Derek had given it to me during the summer we were looking for Erica and Boyd, I let out a sigh as I twisted it around my wrist, I hadn't taken it off since he gave it to me
"Having a rough morning?" I looked up and saw my mom in the mirror, I turned around giving her a smile
"You could say that" I said, she sighed and walked over to my bed, sitting down and patted the mattress, motioning for me to join her so I did
"Is it Derek?" Mom asked, I remained silent lowering my head "Honey, I may not have empathy like you but I do know when my daughter is upset about a boy"
"Derek's not really a boy, mom"
"I know" she paused "You know, you never told me what happened"
"He wanted to spend time with Cora and learn to settle back into being a Beta" I replied still without looking up "And I havent heard from him in a couple of days, so…I'm worried about him"
"I thought you told me you were…mates" she seemed hesitant to use the word and I knew she was still adjusting to it
"We are and that's why I'm worried"
"So do you wanna see him again?"
"My brain and body are telling me to see him, I just feel complete when he's with me and empty when he's not"
"Well, if your brain is saying yes then I think you need try and talk to him let him know how you feel, I don't feel so comfortable about your body though" I laughed and looked up at her
"Don't worry mom, you'll have grandchildren but not for a while"
"Grandchildren?" she asked but before I could tell her about the vision, there was a loud thud outside my door, we got up and looked out seeing Isaac on the ground rubbing his head "Hey" Mom yelled "You two supernatural teenage boys, don't test my entirely un-supernatural level of patience" Mom groaned and walked out of my room, downstairs as I walked up to Isaac, seeing Scott grabbing his backpack
"Feel better?" I asked Scott laughing, then held my hand out for Isaac he had still been staying with us since he had nowhere else to go
Scott and I pulled up to the school on his bike, since Derek left I refused to drive the Camaro and it was sitting in our garage with a tarp over it, he parked and we made our way into school going to meet Stiles but as we were walking Scott suddenly stopped, I noticed and looked back him
"Scotty, you okay?" I asked, he seemed to be looking at his shadow, his eyes widened and he suddenly took off running, like he was running from his shadow "Scott!" I yelled, following him down the stairs into the courtyard, until he ran into Stiles
"Hey, hey you all right?" Stiles asked
"Are you okay?" I asked but Scott nodded "You don't look all right, Scott"
"I'm okay" Scott replied when Stiles and I were both staring at him
"No, you're not" Stiles said "It's happening to you too"
"What happening?" I asked
"You're seeing things, aren't you?" Stiles asked Scott ignoring me
"How'd you know?" Scott asked
"Because it's happening to all three of you" we turned, seeing Lydia and Allison standing there then walked off towards the school "Well, well, look who's no longer the crazy one" Lydia said as we entered
"We're not crazy" Allison said
"Hallucinating and sleep paralysis?" I said "I hate to agree with Lydia but something is wrong with you guys"
"We did die and come back to life" Scott said cutting in "That's gotta have some side effects, right?" the school bell rang, causing us to look up
"We keep an eye on each other" Stiles said "Okay Skye, you have control of your ability right?"
"Yeah" I said since over the past few weeks I had been working on my ability more, learning how to focus in on certain emotions especially trying to focus in on my bond with Derek but felt nothing from him we were too far apart
"Well keep an eye on us, if you feel worry or fear we need to find each other" I nodded
"I don't know about worry but I'll able to pick up on fear" I replied since fear was one emotion I was good at picking up, Stiles looked at Lydia
"And Lydia, stop enjoying this so much" Stiles added before Scott, Stiles and I walked to history together and sat down as the bell rang again signalling the beginning of class
"Good morning, everyone" our new teacher said, turning to face to class "My name is Mr Yukimura, I'll be taking over for your previous History Teacher, my family and I moved here three weeks ago, I'm sure by now you all know my daughter Kira or you might not since she's never actually mentioned anyone from school or brought a friend home for that matter" I heard a thud behind me and the whole class looked, seeing a girl with her head on her desk then she looked up, giving an awkward smile to the class "Either way, there she is now, let's begin with American History at the turn of the 20th century"
I turned back to the front and opened my textbook and notebook, ready to take notes and was about to start writing when suddenly heard a heartbeat racing and felt fear and anxiety, I looked up and noticed Scott looking at the floor…at his shadow, I reached over and touched Scott's shoulder, squeezing it he turned around and looked at me 'It's okay' I mouthed to him
"Maybe we need a little more time to get back to normal" Scott said, as he, Stiles and I stood at Stiles' locker after class
"Yeah, try not to forget we hit the reset button on a supernatural beacon for supernatural creatures" Stiles said, trying to get his locker open "There's a pretty good chance things are never going back to normal"
"Let's be honest have our lives ever been normal since that night we looked for Laura's body" I asked them while checking my phone for any messages but had no new ones, Derek hadn't texted me in days and I was starting to panic that something has happened to him
"True" Scott said, I sighed stuffing my phone back into my pocket then looked up at Stiles
"What's wrong?" I asked watching him stare at his lock in confusion "Stiles are you okay?" he began to blink rapidly and looked at me
"Yeah I'm okay" Stiles let go of his lock and looked at Scott, who had his face lowered and was leaning against the locker "Oh, dude your eyes" he said, causing me to look up at my brother's eyes which were glowing red
"What about them?" Scott asked
"Scott they're starting to glow" I said looking around
"You mean like right now?"
"Yes, right now Scott stop, stop it"
"I can't, I can't control it" Scott replied, starting to pant holding his head
"All right, just keep your head down" Stiles said, lowering Scott's head "Look down, come on keep your head down" Stiles said and led Scott and me into an empty classroom, as soon as we were in the classroom Scott took off his shirt and started growling, Stiles and I moved towards him but Scott held up his hands
"Get back, get away from me"
"Scott, it's okay" Stiles tried but I quickly pulled Stiles back and looked at him
"Let me"
"Skye…"
"Stiles I can heal you can't" I moved towards Scott "Scott listen to me it's okay"
"Skye get back, I don't know what's going to happen, get back" I moved towards him anyway and grabbed him with clawed hands digging them into his arms and took deep breaths as he clawed my arms at my arms
I let my eyes glow and slowly took his panic away knowing I could control myself, Scott growled at me and I growled back then watched as he fell to the floor as we transformed back, I dropped to the floor as exhaustion hit me
"Pain makes you human" Scott sighed and I knew he was remembering Derek's words
"I know" I nodded "That's why I did it"
"You took my panic away"
"Yup"
"Scott, this isn't just in our heads this is real and it's starting to get bad for me too, I'm not just having nightmares I'm having dreams where I have to literally scream myself awake and sometimes I'm not even sure if I'm actually ever waking up"
"What do you mean" Scott asked him
"Do you know how you can tell if you're dreaming, you can't read in dreams, more and more the past few days, I've been having trouble reading it's like I can't see the words I can't put the letters in order"
"Like even now?" I asked as Stiles began to look around the room, looking at the posters and the board then he turned back to Scott and me
"I can't read a thing"
Scott and I remained silent as we were laying back on his bed, we hadn't talked much since he almost changed at school today and I was getting worried about all of them they were my best friends and my twin brother
"Scott, you guys aren't okay" I said, finally breaking the silence "I saw what you did at school and I saw Stiles freak out, for God's sake I felt it and it was scary, your sacrifice did something and you all are paying the price"
"I know" Scott said "You shouldn't be so worried about us, I know Derek being gone is hard on you and I know you're upset" I flinched at the his name and Scott paused "I heard you crying out in your sleep last night" I had been having dreams about Derek every night since he left and knew it was because we were apart and remembered Peter saying that mates couldn't be apart but yet here we were
"Jennifer and the Alpha's screwed us all up" I said and was about to get up, when Isaac walked into the room
"Good, you're here" Isaac said "Allison almost shot Lydia with an arrow, in her head"
"Right at her head?" I asked
"Almost right through it and she keeps saying the same thing, that she keeps seeing her Aunt, whatever's happening to you guys is getting worse if I hadn't been there, then Lydia would be dead" Scott looked up at Isaac
"What were you doing there?"
"Ah" Isaac hesitated, Scott got up from the bed and pushed Isaac into the wall
"Oh, you guys, come on" I heard my mom yell from downstairs "This house does not have a supernatural ability to heal, so stop it!" I laughed because she had three teenage werewolves living with her there is bound to be some hormonal problems
The next day at school I kept my eyes on my notes as I listened to Coach lecture on and felt like I was about to fall asleep, Coach seemed to teach the same thing every day, I felt my head bob but quickly blinked waking myself up
"Stilinski!" Coach exclaimed, I looked up and turned seeing Stiles writing with his head on his desk in between mine and Scott's desk Coach suddenly blew his whistle causing both Scott and me to flinch and Stiles to gasp as if he was violently woken up "Stilinski!"
"Uh-huh?" Stiles groaned
"I asked you a question"
"Uh Sorry, Coach what was it?"
"It was "Stilinski, are you paying attention back there?""
"Oh well, I am now"
"Stilinski, stop reminding me why I drink...every night, does anybody else want to try the question on the board?" Stiles turned, looking at Scott and me
"I'm okay I just fell asleep for a second"
"Dude" Scott started looking worried "You weren't asleep"
"Look" I said, pointing to his notes and Stiles looked down seeing that all over the paper was written - WAKE UP, later on Stiles, Scott, Lydia, Allison, Isaac and I all sat around the lunch table because of what happened with Stiles today, we all needed to talk
"Okay, so what happens to a person who has a near-death experience and comes out of it seeing things?" Scott asked
"And is unable to tell what's real or not?" Stiles added
"And is being haunted by demonic visions of dead relatives?" Allison added as well
"They're all locked up because they're insane" Isaac answered and I slapped his head
"Ha" Stiles laughed, smirking "Can you at least try to be helpful, please?"
"For half my childhood, I was locked in a freezer, so being helpful is kind of a new thing for me"
"Hey, dude are you still milking that?"
"Yeah, maybe I am still milking that"
"Hi" all heads turned to see Kira standing there "Hi, sorry I couldn't help overhearing what you guys were talking about and I think I actually might know what you're talking about" I started panicking and thinking that maybe we should have talked about this somewhere private instead of out in the open like this "There's a Tibetan word for it, it's called "Bardo" it literally means in-between state, the state between life and death"
"And what do they call you?" Lydia asked
"Kira" Scott answered for her "She's in our History class"
"So are you talking Bardo in Tibetan Buddhism" Lydia asked
"Or Indian?" I added
"Either, I guess" Kira said sitting down "But all the stuff you guys were just saying, all that happens in Bardo there are different progressive states where you can have hallucinations, some you see, some you just hear and you can by visited by peaceful and wrathful deities"
"Wrathful deities and what are those?" Isaac asked
"Demons" I informed him familiar with the term
"Demons" Stiles mumbled "Why not?"
"Hold on, if there are different progressive states then what's the last one?" Allison asked
"Death" Kira said and everyone looked around at each other "You die" I heard every heart begin to race and felt everyone began to panic over the thought that our friends could die, we shared a slightly alarmed look before Kira dismissed herself
"So um…yeah I think we need to talk quieter about supernatural things, someone might overhear something we don't want repeated"
"What like Skye's a werewolf" Stiles joked as the group stood up to go to their next classes
"That's not funny Stiles" I said as he walked away
After school was over Scott, Stiles and I went to talk to Deaton because he had to know something about what was going on with them since he was the one who told them to sacrifice themselves
"In the middle of class I thought I saw Coach and everyone else doing sign language, then I woke up, found out I wasn't really asleep and looked at my notes, seeing wake up written everywhere" Stiles explained to Deaton as we walked into the back
"It sounds like your subconscious is trying to communicate with you" Deaton said
"Well, how do I tell my subconscious to use a language that I actually know?"
"Do you remember what the sign language looked like, the placement and movement of the hands?"
"You know sign language?" Scott asked
"I know a little, let me give it a shot" I rolled my eyes because of course Deaton knew sign language
"Okay, the first one was like this" Stiles held up his left hand, with his pointer finger up then using his right pointer finger to draw a circle around it
"That's "when"" Deaton said
"Then there was this, twice" Stiles held up his hands, the right behind the left, moving it back and forth
"That's door"
"And this in between it" Stiles took his right thumb, bringing it from his chin, up
"That's it?"
"Yeah" Stiles replied then Deaton looked at us
"When is a door not a door?" he explained
"'When is a door not a door'?" Scott asked, confused
"When it's ajar" I answered
"You're kidding me" Stiles said "A riddle, my subconscious wants to tell me a riddle?"
"Not necessarily" Deaton started "When the three of you went under the water, when you crossed from unconsciousness to a kind of super-consciousness you essentially opened a door in your minds"
"So what does that mean?" Scott asked "The door's still open?"
"Ajar"
"A door into our minds?" Stiles asked
"I did tell you it was risky"
"What do they do about it?" I asked
"Well, that's difficult to answer" Deaton replied giving us a look
"Oh no, wait a second, I know that look" Stiles said, motioning to Deaton "That's the "we know exactly what's wrong with you but we have no idea how to fix it" look"
"One thing I do know is that having an opening like that into your mind, it's not good, you each need to close that door and you need to do it as soon as possible" I looked at the two boys beside me
"We'll do it, we'll figure it out, thanks Deaton" I grabbed each of the boy's arms and led them out of the clinic but as we walked outside, a police car pulled up, it was Stiles' dad
"Dad, what are you doing here?" Stiles asked as the Sheriff got out of the car
"I'm here because I could use some help" the Sheriff replied "Actually you're help" he pointed at Scott and me
"Why us?" Scott asked
"Because eight years ago, almost an entire family died in a car accident, one of the bodies a young girl named Malia, was never found, there's enough evidence to have me thinking that that a werewolf could have caused the accident and then dragged her body away, if you two could somehow get a lock on her scent if you could somehow help me find her body, it might provide the missing clue"
"But what if it was a werewolf?" Stiles asked
"Well, there's somebody out there who murdered an entire family, someone who still needs to be caught"
Scott and I agreed to help Stiles and his dad, the Sheriff has always been like a father figure to us, since our dad wasn't really around and if we could help, we wanted to, the next morning we all went to the Tate home, so Scott and I could try and get a lock on Malia's scent
We quickly walked around the house, while the Sheriff kept Mr Tate busy and found our way into Malia's room then Stiles began throwing things at us, so we could try and get a scent, I could definitely smell something but it wasn't the scent of a girl
"All I'm getting is some animal smell" I said
"What kind of animal?" Stiles asked but he was answered when a growl filled the room, we turned seeing a massive Rottweiler before us
"Dog" Scott answered and Stiles turned around and almost dropped the toys in his hand as the dog began to snarl at us, baring it's teeth
"Hi, puppy" Stiles said in a sweet voice "Get rid of it" Stiles told us
"Me?" Scott asked him
"Yes or Skye, just one of you do something, glow your eyes at it, be the Alphas"
"Skye you do it" Scott mumbled but I shook my head
"No, Scott you can't be scared of being an Alpha, I'm right here I'll pull you back if I need to, just do it"
"I don't have control" Scott whispered
"Okay buddy, you're going to have to try something" Scott started to bend down
"Nice doggy…" the dog started barking at the three of us
"Apollo!" Mr Tate yelled but the dog continued barking "Apollo! Shut up! Shut the hell up!"
Apollo continued barking so I kneeled down and allowed my eyes to glow red causing the dog to stop barking but continued to growl so I gave one of my own causing the dog to lay down on his back and whimper submitting to me, I stood up and flipped my curls behind my shoulders, Stiles and Scott looked at me with a little bit of shock as the dog stopped, turned and left the room, Stiles shrugged and walked over to the dresser picking up a book and handed it to Scott
"Here, try that" Scott and I both looked at each other, thinking the same thing "Anything?"
"All we're getting is that dog" Scott said, Stiles sighed and turned back to the dresser, he straightened up and looked at the picture on the dresser it was of two little girls, the oldest Malia, Stiles pulled out his phone and took a picture
"Let's go" he said
"I'm sorry" Scott said, as the Sheriff walked up to the car "We tried as hard as we could, if it wasn't so long ago, we might have been able to do it"
"It's okay it was a long shot, in fact it was a pretty terrible idea I think I just ripped a wound open in that poor man, I never should have brought you guys here I don't know what I was thinking thanks for trying, all right?"
"Yeah"
"See you at home" the Sheriff said to Stiles, before getting in his car and leaving
"Aren't there a lot of cases that go unsolved?" I asked
"Yeah, I just think this is one he felt like he could've figured out right now" Stiles said
"Why is it so important now?" Scott asked
"He wants to be able to solve one more while he's still Sheriff"
"What do you mean 'still Sheriff'?" I asked but Stiles sighed
"Your dad is trying to get him fired" I felt anger go through me and it was doubled with Scott's
"Dad!" I yelled, as Scott and I burst through the front door
"Whoa!" our father exclaimed "Where's the fire?"
"What the hell are you thinking?"
"About what?"
"Stiles' dad" Scott said "You're trying to get him fired!"
"I'm trying to help"
"That doesn't make any sense, Dad" I asked barely controlling myself and without Derek it's hard for me to pull back "Who are you helping?" I let out a breath "Just get out"
"Skye" he looked at Scott, who shook his head "Scott"
"What?" Scott asked "I can't believe that you'd do this to our best friend"
"I'm not doing anything to your friend, I'm doing my job"
"Your job sucks" I said
"Some days I can't argue that"
"Can somebody tell me what the hell is going on?" Mom asked, walking into the room
"He's trying to get Stiles' dad fired" I informed her
"No, that's not true" Dad said, trying to defend himself
"What are you doing?" Mom asked him and Dad sighed
"Conducting a case for impeachment"
"That sounds a lot like getting him fired"
"The lack of resolution and ability to close cases is what's going to get him fired, my job is just to collect the information and it's the job my superiors have given me"
"Your job sucks" Mom replied as I began to feel the anger rise me and my claws extended into my palm "Scott, Skyler…sweethearts" I looked up to see mom standing in front of me and Scott as our eyes changed to red "Calm down, come with me right now" she grabbed our hands and led us into the other room, away from our father "Let it go, just breathe and let it go"
"We're trying" I said, feeling my brother trying to fight it as well, I began to feel my fangs extend and noticed Scott's as well
"You told me you two and Stiles learned a way to control this, you find an anchor right, find your anchors"
"My anchor was Allison" Scott said
"And mine was Derek" I added "We don't have them anymore"
"Then be your own anchor, you two can do this" she replied
I turned to my brother and held onto his hand and thought about all the crap we had been through and how we were still here together, we had been together since birth, I felt Scott squeeze my hand as we began to return back to normal, Mom sighed as she saw us return to our normal selves
"You two, let me tell you something no teenager ever believes but I swear to you is the absolute truth, you fall in love more than once it'll happen again and it'll be just as amazing and as extraordinary as the first time and maybe just as painful but it will happen again, I promise and until then be your own anchor" she left the room because she needed to go give an excuse to our dad, I looked over at Scott
"She's right, we need to be our own anchors or each other's anchors we always have each other, we're family and we've been together since birth" I paused "And we need to go help another family" Scott nodded and we left the house, I texted our mother telling her we were fine and would be back later and entered Stiles' house and knocked on his bedroom door
"Hey, what's going on?" Stiles asked, from his spot on the bed
"Us and you, we're going to go out and find a body" Scott said, he flicked his flashlight on "A dead body" I rolled my eyes because of the irony of this
I felt a sense of nostalgia as we trekked through the reserve looking for the sight of the crash, the last time we went looking for a dead body it ended up with Scott getting turned by Peter and now he and I were both werewolves and looking to help solve a mystery
"You know, if my dad's right that means there's another werewolf in town that we haven't met yet" Stiles said
"We know" I said "But it was probably just an Omega passing through considering this was Hale territory back then, everyone knew that" I replied shrugging
"If it turns out to be something like triplets that form into, like a three-headed hound of hell, I'm seriously not up for that"
"Yeah, me either especially if I can't even control my own transformation anymore" Scott held his phone in his hand, looking at the map when suddenly a coyote howled nearby and Stiles jumped knocking Scott's phone out of his hand, into a puddle then glared at Stiles
"Sorry, buddy I hate coyotes so much, they always sound like they're mauling some tiny, helpless little animal" we jumped down and Scott reached into the puddle, picking up the phone and wiping it off
"It still works" I looked around and noticed something in the distance
"Let me see the flashlight" I said and pointed it in the direction of where I thought I saw something "I think we found it" I led the them through the rocks until we came to an over turned car
"Uh, why wouldn't they move it?" Scott asked "Isn't it evidence?"
"Probably too much of a pain in the ass to tow out" Stiles answered "Look at this" he grabbed the flashlight from me and went closer towards the car "See those?" he asked, motioning to the claw marks running along the car "Animal claws would be closer together right, a lot closer"
"Then it was a werewolf" I said tracing my hand over them
"So, my dad was right" Stiles kneeled down and looked around the car and pulled out something
"What is that?" Scott asked, it was a doll, we stared at it
"I'm hungry" the doll said, causing us all to scream and Stiles dropped the doll
"I think I just had a minor heart attack" I said, holding my chest but suddenly, there was a growl from in the distance and I looked up to see a pair of glowing eyes "Hey, guys, please tell me you see that"
"Yeah" both boys said and that's when Scott took off
"Wait, hey Scott, Scott wait!" Stiles and I yelled after him, I looked over at Stiles
"Stay here" I said and took off after my brother, I followed his scent and found him in a clearing not too far away, he was looking out into the distance "Scott!" I yelled and he jumped then turned to me "What's wrong?"
"You need to get a hold of Derek, right now" I flinched as usual at the mention of his name but pulled out my phone and texted Derek
Derek call me
Derek Scott needs help you need to call me back ASAP
Derek's POV
I saw my phone flash from the table and I swear I was going to kill Peter again for this one, if he had stuck to the plan none of this would have happened and I could have been back in Beacon Hills already with Skyler, I hadn't had a decent night sleep since I left and knew it was because we were apart, Cora was safe and we found out what we needed to but Peter had to mess it up when we went to retrieve it, I turned and glared at him as they continued torturing us, Peter turned to me
"Why are you looking at me like this is my fault"
"Because it is your fault" I replied then they shocked us again, I hope Skye doesn't feel any of this being that she is so far away, I don't want her coming and looking for us
"Yeah you're probably right" Peter said then we got shocked again and I couldn't help not yell in pain, at least Skye isn't here to watch this time
