Chapter 40: The Resurrection
Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Wolf
Lydia pulled up to an old abandoned building a little bit out of Beacon Hills.
She knew Jackson had followed her, not in his car but in his wolf form. She could feel him close and telling him to go back would be pointless, so when Lydia got out of her car she whispers "your clothes are in the trunk." She pops the trunk and makes her way towards the building cautiously.
Death. Someone was going to die tonight and Lydia hoped it wouldn't be any of her friends.
"So glad you could join us tonight?" Nicholas said appearing behind Lydia when she gets to the entrance.
Lydia turns around to face Nicholas (who was possessing Drew) with narrowed eyes. "Not like I really had a choice Nicholas"
Nicholas looks shocks before he smirks. "No, you really didn't did you." He places his hands on Lydia's shoulders, her body tense at his touch "How did you know?"
"Drew" Lydia replies, pushing his hands off of her as she walks into the building.
Nicholas laugh echo through the building as he follow behind Lydia.

"You know their pack coming for them, right."
"Of course, that's the plan."
"After she resurrect Nicholas, we are going to take out the pack."
Alisha listens intensely to the conversation of Nicholas three witches that was standing outside of the room she and her mom was being captured.
While Alisha was honing her listening abilities, Allison was working on the ropes that had her bound to the wooden chair.
Allison knew this would be easy for her to get out of a minute tops, but for the safety of both of her daughters she pretended everything one of Nicholas' witches walked in to struggle with the ropes.
Both girls heard the door creep open. "See their perfectly fine." They heard Drew say. There was the sound of heels against the pavement as someone approached them. "Ally, Alisha"
"Lydia" Allison said recognizing her best friend voice. She couldn't see her thanks to the blindfold still on her, but she could imagine Lydia smiling at her. "What are you doing here?"
"I've come to save you and my goddaughter." Lydia said placing her hand on both girls.
"Okay" Nicholas said. "Come raise me from the dead."
"You don't have to do this...I'm sure the packs on their way" Allison pleads.
"I do" Lydia said before whispering in Allison ear "and they're already here."
With that Lydia walks out of the room, Drew leading her to upstairs where the moonlight shines through the windows illuminating the room where Lydia can see May, Crystal, and Kourtney standing in the empty room staring inside of a large glass case.
Getting closers to the glass case Lydia could see what the three witches are looking at. Nichols body was in the case.
She could see where Derek had cut his throat with his claws, and the wound on his side. He was obviously under a preservation spell, since his still had some of his color.
"Shall we get started" Nicholas said ready to begin the ritual before the Hale pack show up.

When Scott wake up he realized he was at the Hale Manor, which was strange to him because the last he remember is being at the grocery store with Allison and Alisha.
With that on his mind the memory of having wolf banes blowing in his face by some woman he never meet before, he vaguely remembers hearing both Allison and Alisha scream out for him before everything went black.
Scott shoots up, getting a little dizzy. "Whoa, Scott you're still a weak sit back" Stiles says surprising her best friend.
"I have to go save Allison and Alisha." Scott says ignoring the dizzy feeling.
"Derek and the pack are already there where they are." Stiles says pushing Scott back down on the couch to rest. She pulls out her cell to show him the message from Derek that they found Allison and Alisha.
"Who's all gone?"
"Everyone except You, Me, Junior, Marco, Samantha, Peter, Michael and the little kids." Stiles replied.
"Okay that's good" Scott said feeling better that most of the pack has gone to get his family.
"How did I get here?" Scott asks. "Who found me?"
"I did a little spell and Marco and Junior went to get you. They found you passed out in the alley of the store."
Marco was trying everything to prove to the pack that he could be trusted or deserves to be in the pack. He and Peter were patrolling the woods right now for any could be threat.
"I swear to god if they've hurt either one of them-"
"Yeah don't think like that" Stiles said placing a hand on one of Scott's hand. Scott intertwines the hand enjoying the comfort of his best friend. "Plus, Nicholas wouldn't do that if he wanted Lydia help."
Scott knows Stiles right, but he still feels like he should be the one out there looking for his pregnant wife and daughter.
"You know Allison wouldn't blame you for not being the one to rescue them." Stiles says as if reading his mind. "If anything she's probably hoping we found you and you're okay and regaining your energy."
Stiles was right again Scott thinks. Scott missed these one in one moments with Stiles. So what if they've missed out on the last thirteen years of each other lives, they've known each other even longer and no matter what Stiles was and will always be his family.
"I've missed you" Scott says with that dopey grin.
Stiles can't help the smile that stretches on her face. "I've missed you too Scott" she says before being pulled into a hug by Scott.

Peter had to Lydia once told her that it wasn't just the worm that brought him back life, but her banshee powers.
Being a banshee Lydia able to foresee death and stop it from happening, she can also communicate with spirits and other entities. With the power of the power of the worm moon she's able to absorb the energy and will the dead raise as long as they have a powerful conduit.
Like Derek being that he's an alpha.
"Who's going to give him the power he needs to raise?" Lydia ask.
"Me" May said giving Nicholas a small smile.
"Okay banshee, let's see what you can do." Nicholas said.
As Kourtney opens the glass case Crystal walks over to Nicholas, placing a hand on his chest a small white glow appearing from her palm. "You ready" the caramel skinned woman ask looking in Nicholas temporary grey eyes.
"Yeah, just still to the plan and everything should be okay." Nicholas said before throwing his head back and opening his mouth to let the red demon smoke out and float into the air.
Lydia watches as the last bit of demon smoke leaves out of Drew body, before the brunette man falls to his knees breathing heavily.
"Now your turn." May said to Lydia.
Lydia walks in front of the case and closes her eyes honing the moon's energy.
The three witches as moonlight makes Lydia glow, her strawberry blonde hair taking on the color of pure white, her pale skin looking brighter with more color. When she opens her eyes her normal green eyes are glowing a violet purple like when she had did the spell to bring forth her banshee side.
Crystal and Kourtney take a step back, but May can't because she has to be part of the resurrection.
Lydia then walks over to the Asian witch and places her wrist into Nicholas stiffed palm. Looking up at the red smoke floating around in the air Lydia opens her mouth and orders the smoke to enter Nicholas' body.
The smoke began to form like a twister as it made it's way into Nicholas body. When the last trace of smoke disappears Nicholas claws extend a dig into May's wrist making the witch wince as the blood drip her hand, and Nicholas eyes snap open glowing red and black like they did before he was killed.
"It worked" Kourtney says happily.
Lydia steps back near the windows watching the four people that have been terrorizing her pack. The three witches seem to be watching her seeing what she would do next. Nicholas seems to have a confused look on his face like he doesn't know what just happen, and looking over at Drew she sees he is now breathing regular, but he looks a little pale and weak.
The feeling of Death comes back on to Lydia. Like long ago with the Alpha pack coming to attack Derek Lydia feels like she's standing in a graveyard. "You don't plan on let me or Allison and Alisha go do you?" Narrowing her eyes at Nicholas.
Before the demon wolf could answer May replied. "No" as on cue Kourtney and Crystal come to stand by their friend. All three witches raise their hand, their palms out facing Lydia.
The banshee watched as the three started to materialize a huge fireball out of thin air.
Knowing nothing good could come from that, Lydia turned around now facing the windows and scream. Still channeling the moon's energy her scream seemed to have multiplied by ten.
The scream made everyone cover their ears while all the windows to shatter blowing out towards the ground. When the last piece of glass fell Lydia looks back at the three witches who are now glaring at her, she gives them a smirk before jump towards ground.
May reacts quickly by throwing a stream of fire from her hands towards the banshee. The fire misses her by inches as she uses her a new ability of levitation to land on the ground safely.
Looking up she sees the witches and Nicholas looking down at her. Kourtney quickly disappears from inside the building in orange smoke only to reappear in front of Lydia.
"You really thought your little banshee scream would save you." She asked incredulous.
"See that's where you're wrong" Lydia said with a raised eyebrow. "That was for the Death I saw coming...yours actually."
As soon as the words left Lydia mouth, Christina appears in a glow of light in front of her mom a bow and arrow in hand aimed at Kourtney.
Christina smirks at the look of shock and fear on the witches face. "Don't worry I'm not the one going to kill you."
"You're not" she said her body relaxing.
"No" the blonde said, her eyes darting behind the witch ", but she will."
Kourtney turned around only to see a pissed off Lindsey behind her.
"Lucille" Kourtney eyes widen.
"It's Lindsay actually" the redhead witch said, conjuring a dagger in her right hand and impales it into the witch, her breath hitching at being stabbed. "That's for my family." She whispers into the dying witch ear.
"Nooooo!" Crystal and May scream from their spot in the building. They can feel Kourtney dying, just like they can feel her power draining away from them making their connection weak.
When Lindsay pulls the dagger out Kourtney lets out another gasp. Lindsay let's the witch fall to the ground and watches as the light in Kourtney eyes burn out and she takes her last breath.
"Who's next?" Lindsay asked turning her attention up to the three people that ruined her life.
"Can't let you have the fun sis." Malcolm said sneaking up behind Lydia.
Lydia turns around to see almost the entire pack, every wolf shifted into their beta form.
"Have you seen my mom and sister?" Scotty asks through his fangs.
"Yeah I'll take you to them." Lydia said happily. Now that the pack was truly her she could relax and do what she really came here to do, save her best friend and goddaughter.
Taking Scotty hand in hers they began walking towards the entrance of the building. Stopping at the door Lydia turns to face the pack "kill them all." With that said she and Scotty walk inside to find Allison and Alisha.

After freeing Allison and Alisha, Lydia and Scotty was leading both girls to the exit, so they could put them in Lydia car so they could be out of danger.
At least that what the plan was.
As Scotty opens the door to the exit, they are all spooked by Derek slamming a fearful looking Nicholas.
"Derek" Nicholas yells. "Please don't do this-" the rest of the sentence was cut off as Derek stuck his claws into the demon wolf stomach making him let out painful howl.
Scotty opens the door more giving the three woman behind him to see that the fight had made it from inside the building to the ground.
There were more of the golem creatures the wolves, Christina and Monica were taking care of with fireballs and other magical powers.
Lindsay and Malcolm was fighting Crystal who was surprisingly taking care of herself.
"Where's the Asian witch?" Lydia ask. Somehow she had disappear and Lydia knows she isn't dead because she would have felt it. "And Drew"
Derek looks at the banshee, his eyes still glowing red as he keeps Nicholas against the wall. "She got away, and Drew wasn't up there?"
"What?!" Lydia voice goes high pitched, making Derek cringe a little. "How is that possible, he can't just disappear?" Lydia explains now standing in front of Derek her brows furrowed as she looked down at the ground. "Unless"
She pushes Derek back enough that his claws come out of Nicholas stomach and the demon wolf falls back against the wall.
Crouching down in front of Nicholas, ignoring the looks from the pack members that were paying attention to her she looks into Nicholas hazel eyes.
"Drew" the banshee called.
"What?!" Derek said shockingly.
"Lydia" Nicholas looks at the strawberry blonde with hopefully eyes. "You have to stop them?"
"Them" Scotty said from where he's standing.
"Nicholas and May" Lydia said. "She put your spirit in Nicholas body and he stayed in yours."
Spinning around to find Lindsay holding the dagger to Crystal neck and the golems defeated. "Stop!" the high pitched making everyone cringe. "We need her alive...she's the only one who can change them back."
"What are you talking about?" Lindsay asked. She didn't want to spare this bitch life, but seeing the urgency in Lydia's eyes she would let her live for now.
"She swapped their spirits...Nicholas is in Drew's body and Drew is here in Nicholas body."
"You are smart aren't you?" Crystal said. She was currently on her knees with a dagger to her throat.
Realizing what Lydia is saying sends a bad feeling down Derek's body. "Where are they going?" the small voice in his head taunting him that he already knows the answer.
Crystal sends him a smirk. "Do you really have to ask?"
"Stiles" of course he would go after Stiles that's all he wants.
"Christina go" Lydia said knowing she would be the quickest one out of the pack to get to Stiles.
Christina didn't have to be told twice, before she disappeared in a glow of light.
"Bring her with us...we need to put Drew back in his body before it's too late." Derek said before he shifted full wolf and ran through the woods back to his family.

There was a knock on the door.
"I got it!" Junior yells being that he was already in the living room reading one of his mom's books. Placing the book down on the table he makes his way to the front door.
Swinging the door open expecting to see the pizza boy, only to come face to face with "Drew?"
"Try again"
"Nicholas" Junior said, his eyes glowing electric blue.
