Selene POV- Selene was downstairs with Scott who was talking to Liam and Mason who followed a compass here. Then Stiles' fear hit her.
"Stiles?!" Selene called out running for the stairs.
The other followed her. As his fear increased Selene didn't bother with the stairs she leapt up to the second floor.
"Stiles!" Selene ran done the hall a blur of motion until she crouched next to Stiles who was curled up on the floor.
"Stiles hey hey what's wrong? What happened?" Selene asked helping him up holding him tight.
"What? What happened? Scott asked catching up.
"He was here he shot at me" Stiles said.
"Who?" Selene asked growling.
"It was one of the guys Scott saw in Alex's memory" Stiles explained.
"The guy who took his parents?" Mason asked.
"No no no they weren't just taken. They were…they were made to disappear. That's why there's no furniture no scent that's why they weren't in any of the photos…They were erased" Stiles said.
Sure enough when they went back into Alex's room everything was gone.
"No scent anymore either" Selene said when Stiles looked at her.
Later that night Stiles and Selene met up with Lydia at the school.
"I keep feeling like it's familiar you know? Like I've heard it before" Stiles explained as he flipped through a book.
"It sounds vaguely familiar but I don't remember hearing about a guy on horseback making people disappear" Selene said.
Lydia said something then in French causing Stiles to give her a look of confusion.
"That's French a lingering thought you can't reach" she said.
"Okay well is there a French would for feeling an over whelming sense of urgency and impending doom?" Stiles asked.
Both Lydia and Selene said something in French.
"Chaos" Selene said.
"Banshee" Lydia added.
"Great chaos and Banshee… well what does your Banshee intuition say this is?" Stiles asked.
"That you don't have to figure it all out right this second" Lydia said.
"But this kid this kid's got no one you know and…There's a reason why there's gotta be" Stiles said flipping through the book.
Selene had to smile at his slight desperation to fix this and help Alex it's just who Stiles was.
"Give this man a ride sweet family will die. Killer on the road" Lydia said softly.
"Riders on the storm?" both Stiles and Selene said looking at Lydia.
They smiled at each other for both knowing the song.
"What?" Lydia asked.
"That's the song Riders on the Storm?" Stiles said.
"That's it."
"Huh?"
"What's it?" Stiles and Selene asked.
"The Ghost Riders. The Wild Hunt. They come by storm riding horses and they take people" Lydia explained.
"Lydia you're a genius. Come on" Stiles said running off grabbing Selene's hand as he went pulling her with him.
"Thanks Lydia!" Selene yelled back.
"Scott? Scott hey! Hey. It's called the Wild Hunt. It's myth only apparently it's real like every other myth in this town that should just really remain a nightmare" Stiles explained when they caught up to Scott.
"The guy on the horse?" Scott asked.
"Yeah they call them the Ghost Riders. Hang on a second. Hey that's my jersey. Where'd you get that?" Stiles asked a boy as he walked past.
"Coach gave it to me at practice" the boy replied.
"We had practice today? Why doesn't anyone tell me anything?" Stiles asked.
"Why would the Ghost Riders want to take Alex's parents?"
"Because that's what they do. They take people okay? They ran around collecting souls. And once they take you you're gone."
"But it's not just you it's everything about you."
"Kind of like Roanoke… Lost colony? 1585? The whole colony disappeared and all that was left was the word CROATOAN carved in a fence post. Does no one take history?" Selene asked after she explained to their confused looks.
"Had to but…" Stiles started.
"It was a few on those thirty eight missed classes" Scott finished.
"They don't care who they take?" Scott asked.
"Anyone" Stiles replied.
"What if Alex is next?" Scott asked slightly panicked.
They all raced for the Sheriff's station.
"Where's the kid? What happened to him?" Stiles asked once they got there.
"What kid?" Deputy Clark asked.
"The kid from the car wreck? The kid whose parents went missing last night?" Stiles tried.
"Who?" Clark asked.
"Clark listen to me he was here okay? You met him."
"Where's the Sheriff?" Scott asked.
"He got called out to the high school they found a body."
"Of course they did" Selene said softly.
"No one's been in lock-up all day check for yourself" Clark told Stiles handing him a clip board.
"He's not on here" Stiles said.
"They took him. I shouldn't have left him alone" Scott said.
"What if they're coming back for everyone else who was on that road?"
"Then we already know who's next."
"Liam and Hayden."
"Who are, coincidence back at the high school" Selene said.
So again they all piled into Stiles' Jeep and went back to the high school.
"I'll check the Quad. Let me know if you find them. And see if your dad knows anything" Scott said.
"Yeah okay."
"I'll check the library and locker rooms" Selene said taking off.
Stiles POV- Stiles took off down the hall but accidentally ran into Ms. Martin.
"Sorry" Stiles said. "Slow it down" Ms. Martin told him.
"Sorry Ms. Martin sorry. Hey have you seen um Liam and Hayden? Actually forget that. Have you seen my dad?" Stiles asked.
"Who?"
"My dad. He's here because of the dead body."
"How do you know about the body?"
"Because my dad's the Sheriff. Ms. Martin are you okay?"
"Uh just wait here" Ms. Martin said walked over to some Deputies.
Stiles took off running to find the others.
"Mason! Mason hey where's Liam? Liam okay there you go. Liam and Hayden perfect. You two you two have to listen to me right now Alex is gone just like him parents okay? The Ghost Riders took him so you guys can't be alone. You gotta stick with Scott or with me because I can see them… Why the hell are you looking at me like that?" Stiles looked at them.
"Do we even know him?" Hayden whispered to Liam.
"I don't even know if he goes here" Liam whispered back.
"Do you go to this school?" Mason asked.
"What's your name?" Liam asked.
Stiles then remembered back to Malia saying his school photo sheet was blank even though he did it and how another kid was wearing his lacrosse jersey. Stiles pushed past Mason and Liam and ran into his dad.
"Son you okay?" his dad asked.
"Oh thank God. Thank God" Stiles said hugging his dad.
"Okay everyone's forgetting everyone is forgetting everything" Stiles said pulling back.
"Okay okay slow down slow down. We'll figure this out together" his dad said.
"Okay" Stiles agreed.
"Now why don't you tell me your name?"
Stiles' heart stopped and he just stared at his dad who didn't even know who he was. Slowly Stiles walked around his dad staring at him. He turned his back and pulled out his phone to call Scott.
"Scott?"
"Hey."
"Scott where are you? Where are you right now?"
"Who is this?" Stiles hung up.
"It's me. I'm next." Stiles realized then that he was the one being erased he was the one about to be taken.
Selene POV- Having no luck finding Liam or Hayden Selene tried to call Stiles only his number wasn't in her phone. She started to worry so she called Scott.
"Scott hey have you heard from Stiles?" Selene asked.
"Who?"
That one word scared her more than anything on this earth could. She ran and when she couldn't pick up on Stiles' scent she closed her eyes and let the mate bond guide her to Stiles.
"Stiles!" Selene ran into him by the parking lot.
"Selene!? You know me? Oh thank God you know me."
"Of course I know you you're my mate. But everyone else if forgetting."
Stiles POV- Stiles turned as wind picked up blowing leaves a crossed the ground. A horse whinnied and when Stiles looked up there was a man on a horse.
"Hey do you see him?"
"See what?"
"The guy on the horse."
"Stiles if you can see them they're gonna…"
"No I know I know okay. They're coming for me. So you have to get away from me right now okay?"
"No no! I'm not leaving you."
"All right come on come on!" Stiles said grabbing her hand and running away from the Ghost Rider.
"This way this way come on. Whoa whoa whoa whoa! Okay this way keep going" Stiles kept changing direction because more Ghost Riders showed up.
"Where are they?" Selene asked growling.
"They're everywhere. Come on come on come on! Selene don't try to see them don't shift your eyes don't go full wolf just don't. They'll take you too just do not look for them" Stiles begged.
"Okay okay I won't" Selene promised.
They climbed into Stiles' Jeep he got the key in the ignition but when he looked up he was surrounded. He pulled the key out of the ignition.
"What are you doing we have to go."
"There's no time. Selene I'm going to be erased. Okay? Just like Alex. You're gonna forget me."
"No I won't I can't you're a part of me."
Stiles held her hands.
"Selene you will. Just try to find some way to remember me okay. Remember you were the first girl at a first look who took my breath. Or that you were the first girl I had sex with, made love to. Remember how you saved my life?"
Selene had soft tears going down her cheeks.
"You saved my life too" Selene said softly.
"Remember I love you."
With those last words Stiles was pulled from the Jeep as Selene roared her anger and grief.
Selene POV- The next morning Selene woke up in her bed sitting up slowly. She felt off but couldn't pinpoint the problem. She went to school and met up with Scott, Lydia and Malia.
"You okay?" Scott asked.
"I just have this feeling like… somethings missing" Selene said.
"Like what?"
"I can't remember."
