I only own my OC's and plot.
"Oh so now you understand?" Stiles said sarcastically.
"Oh shut up." Ariel said. Stiles smirks and Aly finally catches on.
"Okay...I get what all of you are saying...but I don't get what Ariel knows?"
"I don't think any of us do." Scott said. Ariel sighs.
"Okay am I going to explain or are you going to keep making smartass remarks?" Ariel said, frustrated.
"Go ahead..." Aly says.
"So...this may sound crazy but it makes sense in my head. What if Derek poisoned her with made her have some sort of connection with peoples minds..."
"Thank you for pretty much summing up what we just got done explaining." Aly said.
"Let me finish. Derek Hale's family was killed in an fire that was claimed to be an accident, right?"
"Yes." Scott said, looking a little more interested.
"So what if Derek wanted to connect with his sister somehow? Whatever he poised Ashley with wasn't meant to kill her, it was meant to turn her. What if he made a passage to the other side...some sort of doorway to his family?"
"Yeah, you're right. That does sound crazy." Aly said, starting to get a headache.
"It makes sense to me." Isaac said.
"Yeah, me too."
"Can you dig a little deeper on that, Ariel?" Stiles said, actually paying attention.
"I don't know. It was just a guess. what else could it be?"
"He said he wouldn't hurt her..."
"And she said that he needed her for something..."
"Exactly...he doesn't want to kill her. He wants to use her."
"Ehhh...something like that." Ariel said, looking at everyone.
"So...she isn't going to die?" Aly said.
"Well...I don't know." Ariel said.
"Her mind and body might not take this whole thing too well. It may reject whatever he chipped her with, and that's what may put her at risk. Derek himself...shouldn't be seen as the enemy right now." Stiles explained.
"So we don't go searching?" Scott said. He knew what everyone was talking about, but he didn't want my absence anymore. He wanted me back home where he knew I would be safe.
"No...if we do, Derek may actually kill her."
"You just said he shouldn't be seen as the enemy..." Scott said, angry.
"He shouldn't...but if we go after her, he may take that the wrong way. He may take that as we're trying to disconnect his connection to his family. That is, IF that's what he wants her for." Stiles explains again.
"And what if we're wrong?" Isaac asks.
"We won't be wrong." Brian said.
"You've been quiet. What do you think?" Ariel said to Brian.
"I don't know."
"Who's side are you on?"
"You're expecting me to pick? She's my best friend, too. More like a sister. You don't think that I didn't care when she left with Derek? It hurt me, too you know. I don't really know what to think right now, okay?" Brian said, raising his voice.
"Scott?" Stiles said.
"What?"
"Let her go." Stiles said to Scott. Scott sighed and looked away.
"I won't let her go."
"We don't know how long she'll be gone. If we hang on, it'll only hurt worse." Brian said.
"Am I the only one who wants to find her?"
"No, of course not."
"Then why are all of you disagreeing with me on searching for her?"
"Because if you trusted her, you'd let her do this." Brian said, standing eye to eye with Scott.
