The Reluctant Champion

by thequietone309

Six months after the series finale, Scott McCall has been feeling helpless and doubting that he's a good alpha by the way things have gone with him and his friends. He has also been having dreams such vivid about a young woman he has never met. With the way things have been going Scott just wants an ending where no one dies because of him and that he can finally get it right.

4. Chapter 4 Long Night

The group was still on the road, as Ste was trying to get a grasp on things. While he was doing that, Stiles was also trying to get a grasp on things.

"So you found her at the church?" Stiles asked Lydia.

"Yeah, I don't know how, but I found her. Said something about something being there and that we had to leave." She explained.

"Like something supernatural that kind of something?"

"She said she couldn't get a good look at it, but said that it was big and that it dragged her."

"She looks pretty beat up."

"Yeah, and strong, real strong, nearly ripped my arm off." Parrish chimed in.

"How'd she do that?"

"She had a fight." Lydia added.

"With you?" Stiles asked Parrish.

"No, with this werewolf thing, I don't know what's been going on here, but from what I've seen this girl can handle herself, even it didn't see it coming."

"Where did this happen?"

As Stiles was getting up to speed on the situation, at the back of his jeep Derek was tending the wounds of the wayward maiden. He was cleaning the wound on her hand. The gash is long and semi-deep, an angry line stretching across the skin between her thumb and forefinger all the way to her pinky.

He would often look up as she had a confused and fascinated look on her face as he worked on her hand. Her focus then settles on Derek instead, who's fixated on cleaning her wound, face less than a foot away from her own. From this angle she could practically count his eyelashes, and watches them twitch, casting little feathery shadows on the werewolf's cheeks. She can see the indention of the cleft on his chin, the smooth slope of his cheekbones and the way his mouth is tensed ever-so-slightly like it always is, never free from the internal storm of his past. She feels a strange urge to reach out with her good hand and brush her fingers along the werewolf's stubble, just to see if it's as scratchy and rough as it looks. She wondered if there would be dimples underneath that stubble of his if he ever smiled. Once or twice Derek's eyes flick up and meet hers for a split second before darting back down. He doesn't say anything. The girl feels him unwrap a strip of gauze and wrap it around her palm.

"There." He said.

The girl rotates her wrist examining the white layers of cotton. It's surprisingly well done.

"Impressive. You surprise me Tierisch, you did a very good job. Though it's been a long while since I had to have medical attention." The girl said.

The thought of having her wounds tended to even after all this time, puts her in a bind.

Derek then turns his focus to the burn that resides on her thigh, he is concerned and furious at this sight, he goes and puts his hand near the burn to examine it, but the girl jerks away as she hissed in pain.

"Sorry." Derek says frightened that he caused her more pain.

The girl quickly puts up her defenses, and is nearly in the back of the jeep.

"How did that happen?" he asks before the girl was too far gone in the void that he had just cracked open.

"It got Bella, and it pushed me into a wall where I got burned." She claimed.

Fury surged through him, as he pictured how it happened, fangs threatened to rip through his gums, claws nearly cutting his skin as he fisted trying to keep in control. He couldn't lose control not here, not now. Least not in front of her, the last thing he wanted was for her to be afraid of him and feel threatened by him, he didn't want that, not now since he has her. She needed him, and what he needed to do was protect her.

"What happened?" She asked taking him out of his thought, "Where did you go?"

He knew what she was asking about the bus. It happened so quickly, at some point he found himself waking up in a nearly destroyed bus. The driver didn't have a chance most likely died during the impact of the crash.

"I woke up on the road with glass in my hair, some metal and you were gone." She added.

"I know, I'm sorry. I woke up and you were gone too, but I'm here now." Derek assured.

"What happened?"

"I don't know, but that's not important right now, what's important that you're safe and that we get these wounds taken care of."

The girl looked at him, she scooted towards him and presented her leg to him. Taking this as a sign of trust, Derek makes a silent sigh of relief that nearly had him stop breathing. He takes a look at the burn, the heat burnt through her pants, from what it looked it may of been hot enough to burn through it and her skin, but it was not bad, merely a second degree burn, but it's not something that should be taken lightly as it seemed to be on the border of a three degree burn. The skin was blistered, red inflamed and swollen, looked as if a scab was starting to form. He closed his eyes hurt by this sight as he could only imagine what it must've felt like when it happened, or how much pain she must be in. He put his hand on her leg and starts to take her pain. Black veins formed on his arm as her pain went away and partially healed the burn.

He hears a gasp as he looks up at the girl who looks at him in discovery.

"You're a Lycan." She claims.

"Yes." Derek said thinking that he may have offended her.

"I should've known, but everything about me is out of place, I'm not healing as well as I should, in fact I'm not healing at all."

"Maybe since you've been in a coma, your body is trying to recuperate with what's been going on."

"Perhaps." She agreed at the thought.

"How are we doing over here?" Lydia asked as she walked towards them, "Everything okay?"

"Partially." The girl answered.

"You?" gesturing to Derek.

"I will be, once all of these wounds are bandaged up." Derek replied.

"Judging by the state of your jacket, looks like you've been through a lot, heard you and Scott nearly went at it."

"Not going to lie about that yes, but it shouldn't matter now, and thank you for looking after her."

"Actually it was the other way around."

"I did say everyone envied your beauty Bella." The girl added.

Lydia smiled, she turned her sights on Derek as he remained very focused on the girl's shoulder.

"So what happened, I heard that you two were heading back here?"

"There was an accident." Derek quickly answered as he tried to keep from being distracted.

"You okay?"

"I'm fine."

"What happened?"

"I don't know Lydia," he said starting to get irritated by her questions, "All that I do know was that the bus lost control, making it flip a couple of times before going off road. When I came to I was still in the bus and the driver was dead, and she was gone."

He clipped the first aid kit closed.

The girl got out from the back of the jeep. She examines his work and is impressed again.

"Thank you." She said.

Derek nods and steps back to give her room.

"I don't suppose you could do the same for Bella, she does have a nasty one on her head." The girl said.

"I'll live." Lydia said.

Lydia noticed the girl's clothing. She had been with the girl for nearly two hours, and with the way things have been going she never noticed what she was wearing not something for this kind of weather. Lydia goes into the back of the jeep and pulls out a box. She looks through it and pulls out a thin grey duster. She frowns at the sight seeing that there's nothing else, she could wear unless she happened to be Stiles' size, which from the looks of her size was not the case. She knew that it was going to have to do.

"Here, I'm sorry I don't have anything else, but it's cold and you need to keep warm, hopefully this helps." Lydia said while helping the girl put on the duster.

The girl looks at the duster confused as she touched the fabric. She even smelt it. Lydia was starting to regret giving it to her, as she started to see how it wasn't going to work and how long it was, it nearly went to the girl's feet and was a bit too big. She nearly took off her own jacket to trade, but what good would that do. The girl didn't seem to mind, she start to spin a bit to see how long it was. Derek was a bit taken back, but he couldn't complain he did notice the girl's feet, banged up, bruised and looked cold.

"You wouldn't happen to have shoes and socks, would you?" Derek asked.

"That's all we have." Lydia said nearly on the break of tears as this proved how unprepared they were of this.

The girl seemed to have read their minds as she tried to calm the situation.

"I usually don't wear shoes or socks. I don't' even think you could call them shoes, they were just simply animal skins that we made into what you could say were shoes. And we usually would wear animal skins, but this is nice. I like it I like how long it is, it makes me look like I have a cape and it's much nicer than the other shawl I wore in the past. It's even got a hood. Thank you Bella."

Lydia couldn't help, but smile. For someone lost, the girl was humble.

Stiles joined the group, "Everything okay here?" he asked.

"Yeah we're fine." Lydia answered, "Have you called Scott?"

"Yeah been trying like crazy, but no answer. Seems like the phones are out."

"So what do we do?"

"We go to the station as planned." Parrish chimes in.

"Planned, I think we should go to hospital." Stiles suggested.

"No." the girl snapped, "No more hospitals."

"We've talked about this." Parrish said soothe.

"That was before my wounds were cleaned up, Tierisch here, did a really good job, now I can go home."

"We can't let you go."

"Am I under arrest?"

"No."

"Then what's the problem, why does everyone here look like they're on edge matter of fact here's a stupid question why is everyone looking at me like I'm something that came out from under a rock? And you." He points at Stiles, "What did you mean that if I was dreaming about someone and I found out that they were real I would be staring too?"

Stiles opened his mouth about to speak before closing it. Lydia pressed her lips together unsure if she should answered. She looked to Derek who put his head down almost uncomfortable to meet her gaze. She looked at Parrish who was as confused as she was.

"Guys." he said as he wanted answers too, "What's going on?"

"I'm guessing you don't know." The girl asked.

"No, but I'd like to know too." Parrish pressed.

"Someone better talk to me." The girl ordered.

Seeing that the three weren't going to budge and that she wasn't going to get an answer any time soon she had enough.

"Well then if I'm not going to get any answers then I'm not going anywhere with anyone, so if none of you are going to answer any of my questions and continue to waste my time, then I'm not going to stay here any longer, meaning I'm going home." She exclaimed.

The girl started to make her way down the road without a second thought.

"Okay okay, you win you win." Stiles panicked.

The girl turned around, "So what will it be?"

"Uh." Stiles frantically tried to think of away to keep her there, he looked to his peers who didn't seem to know how to answer it, "Because well it's kind of a long story."

"Try me."

"Well the thing of it is, its dangerous out there and this storm isn't going to let up any time soon and what ever attacked you like these two said could be still out there."

"I doubt it, I know it's not out there."

"How can you be so sure, you don't know that?"

"Actually I do as a matter of fact."

"How?"

"I stabbed it in the side of its throat severing the external jugular. No human nor supernatural creature could survive that especially when it s near the spine and one that wasn't looking too good in the first place. Looked like it was sick feral, and even with it s healing factor it wouldn't survive such a blow. Too much blood would make it impossible."

They all looked at the girl bewildered by what she said, Stiles jaw dropped as Lydia was wide eyed and Derek not so surprised, but not comfortable with the level of detail that she described. Parrish wasn't expecting that then again he wasn't there so he could only imagine and the girl clearly wasn't too keen on the expressions she was faced with.

"You know assuming isn't really a good way to go, it makes you seem pretty stupid an ass so don't make a fool out of me and before you start talking again making up crap I suggest you start asking yourself how is this going to get me f-ed before you do it, because I really don't have time for foolery and I'm way too old for chavi stuff." The girl said.

"Well that's good advice if I do say so myself." Derek said gaping at Stiles.

"Care to share any other ridiculousness you seem to know what going on more than him." The girl was now targeting Derek.

Derek scowled at her, but the girl wasn't having it.

"You know you're real lucky I'm not in my normal state which I wouldn't really call it that, but it's the only thing that would help right now because if you'd continued to give me that look you wouldn't be standing right now. So don't waste my time and do not try my patience because I have very little to begin with. Now if you don't mind be a good shepherd and guide through what's really going on."

Now just when Derek thought he was on good terms with the maiden he is now back to public enemy number one list.

Red and blue lights began to flash which grabbed their attention. Parrish made his way to the police cruiser, the girl trailed him and looked back at the three to find them talking among themselves making her groan.

"So what do we tell her?" Lydia whispered to Stiles.

"Well we can't tell her the truth." Stiles said.

"Well we have to tell her something, she's clearly not in the mood and I don't blame her and I have to agree with her on one thing."

"And that is?"

"You're acting like an ass she knows something is up so how about out of courtesy we just tell her the truth."

"Like what tell her Scott's been having dreams about her for the last six months and we've been having visions and Scott drank mugwort."

"What?" Derek said.

"Wha." Stiles said nervously.

"Mugwort? What's that?" Lydia asked

"It's a very powerful herb some would say it can make you go into other people's dreams or conduct astro-projection which is why only the shamans used it and it can be very dangerous." Derek explained.

"How dangerous?"

"Hitchhikers some would call them."

"Deaton did say something like that." Stiles added.

Lydia connected the dots and looked at Stiles as if he had a fashion don't, "Stiles."

"Well what was I supposed to do, he wasn't looking too good you saw, and with the crap that happened six months ago, I couldn't let him not try, I just wanted my best friend back."

"At what cost what did Scott do?"

"He woke her up he did it she's safe and well."

"Stiles you know better than anyone nothing comes without a cost, and now she's going to pay for it." Derek said.

"What do you want me to say?"

"I don't want you to say anything, Stiles."

"Now I'm the bad guy."

"No one's saying that Stiles." Lydia chimed in.

"Then why are you guys putting words in my mouth."

"Someone has to because you're not doing anything to help the situation you're just making it worse." Derek snapped.

Derek started to walk away.

"Where are you going?" Stiles asked.

"She wants to go home, so I'm taking her home." Derek answered.

He went to where the girl stood only to be met with Parrish.

"Where'd she go?" he asked.

Derek looked around hoping that she was in the area only find that she was gone. Parrish turned to the other deputy.

"Have you seen a girl standing here?" he asked.

"No." the deputy replied.

Derek tightened his jaw trying to keep in control ,but it was too much, he started to make his way to Stiles, Stiles ducked when a punch was about to come at him making Derek punch the jeep nearly making it move an inch. The impact was so strong that it caused a loud pop followed by a hissing sound only to find that a tire had been blown and made the jeep sink making it slant side ways.

Everyone looked at Derek giving him the look of "really?"

"You guys figure out what you're going to do, but I'm not staying here." Derek gritted through his teeth.

He began to walk away.

"Hey what a minute where are you going?" Lydia called to him.

"I'm going to find her!" Derek shouted over his shoulder.

Not far away, the girl was going through the bush and onto a road as she was muttering to herself.

"You can't go out there you don't know if its still out there, it's dangerous." The girl mocked Stiles, "Dumbass, who the heck he thinks he is, my freaking keeper, most certainly not."

She reached an open field.

"Okay where to?" she said.

She heard a voice coming from a truck, she goes to the truck and peeks in where she finds a walkie talkie. She reaches in and takes it.

"Been a long time since I've seen these." She said to herself.

She noticed than there was a nearby electric substation.

"Hey!" a rough voice came from behind.

The girl turns to see a worker coming towards her.

"This is a restricted area. You know what that means no one's allowed here. And what are you doing with that."

He snatches the walkie talkie away.

"This isn't a playground for little girls, its dangerous."

"I'm sorry, but I think you should mind your attitude."

"You think I care about what you think, I'm calling this in, don't even think about going anywhere."

"Watch me."

"Why you little-"

He was cut off when something came up from behind and dragged him off into the darkness. The girl stood there in complete shock as the assailant came out of nowhere not even to be seen. Screams could be heard, until the worker was thrown from out of the shadows and slammed into a transformer making the substation went haywire causing electricity to shoot out in all directions, the girl quickly hit the ground trying to avoid getting electrocuted. She then sprang to her feet and ran until she reached an overlook point as the sparks can still be heard from behind. She looked down at the city where she had a front row sit to watch it plunge into darkness.

All the girl could do was to watch helplessly as the only words that could come from her mouth was a simple, "Uh oh."

At the same time, Isaac and Cora were stuck in traffic on the main highway. Lighting flashed and thunder clattered.

"This storm is getting worse wonder when it'll let up?" Isaac asked.

"It better it's getting kind of hard to call Derek when there's no service and it's pissing me off." Cora said throwing her phone down onto the console, "Can anyone tell me why we have to look for this girl, we don't even know her, she could be some wacko?"

Isaac shrugged, "Maybe he just wants to be a gentleman."

Cora scoffs, "Ha my brother is many things, but a gentlemen, don't push it. I'm pretty sure he hasn't had much luck with the ladies."

"I agree, but I mean come on the girl has been in a coma for six months, she wakes up and finds herself in a strange place, only to find out she got hit by a car let alone found out that she's been in a coma for six months when they thought it was only for a few days. How would you feel if that was you, you wake up and you see time has passed and wondered how you got them in the first place, wouldn't you be confused and completely out of it too? And I don't know how Derek knows this girl or why she's so important, or how he got involved in this, but I've watched a lot of movies to know how stories like these go, girl's in trouble guy goes to rescue her, then after that he stays with her even though his job's done, finds out girl's not involved with anyone, sees his chance snakes his way in and a romantic story unfolds, meaning maybe this time he'll have luck with this one."

Cora gives Isaac a death glare which causes him to sink back in his seat.

"Or not, just a thought I mean that kind of stuff happens in movies, didn't mean anything by it, just saying." Isaac surrendered.

Cora looks back to the road, "What is going on?" she said honking the horn in frustration, "Come on move it."

She groans pissed off at the situation, "Did an accident happen or are people just being stupid."

"It's probably because of the storm?" Isaac suggested.

"Oh yeah some storm."

Thunder clattered right above them, which made them cover their ears.

"That was loud." Isaac exclaimed.

"Yeah." Cora agreed in pain.

Isaac began to see people getting out of their car, running passed them down the road. They then started to hear screaming and see people in panic.

"What's going on here." Isaac asked.

The two get out of the car and see people nearly running over each other. They looked on in horror as they saw the ghost riders on horse back galloping down the road, cracking their whips and shooting people who then vanished into green smoke. The ghost riders even went as far as pulling people out of their cars and taking them on horseback. The highway went into chaos as the ghost rider continued their raid without mercy wrangling people up and taking them away.

As the chaos continued, Cora noticed one thing, they were taking young girl. Before they could go in and help. They noticed that they had captured the attention of one ghost rider as they saw them barreling down the road towards them, pulling out their gun and began to fire. The two had no choice, but to run.

In a flash everything went quiet, nothing, a ghost town. No sound, everything that was once there was gone without a trace. Only simply echoes of what once was, gone. All signs of life nevermore, complete and utter, silence. The wind blew through the trees eerily. The cold breeze bite down to the bone. The air howled as if trying to conquer the silence. Static could be heard coming from a police cruiser, that is until Sheriff Stilinski's voice broke through the silence.

"Is there any available units out there?" he asked.

No response.

"If there is an available unit out there please respond."

Still no response.

The sheriff grew frustrated and felt he needed to try once more.

"If there is any available units out there respond now." He ordered.

Nothing, but complete silence.

He ran he hands through is face.

"Does anyone know where my son is?" he shouted.

He through the receive down, looking at his options, the only thing that seemed to be constantly emphasized that he was in an empty precinct and the only thing that was going through his mind right now was his son's safety.

"Where are you Stiles?" he said, "where are you son?"

He was about to leave, and his heart weighed heavily with worry, it seemed his prayers had been answered.

"Hello?" a voice said.

Sheriff turns around, but finds nothing, no one.

"Hello?" the voice came again.

The sheriff looked towards the scanner and low and behold there was the source of the voice.

"Hello, anyone there?" the voice asked.

All mental gears started to move as Stilinski hurried to the scanner.

"Hello, hello." He said.

A sigh of relief came from the other side, "I was beginning to think I was hearing things."

"You and me both." He said relieved that someone was still out there, "What's your location?" he asked getting down to business.

"Sorry, I don't really know, I'm not from around here."

"Can you tell me what street, any buildings around you, anything?"

"Aye there is a road, but nothing but abandon cars."

"A scrap yard?"

"No, a highway of some sort, everyone is gone. All that is left are cars, a lot of cars."

"Any street signs?"

"I don't see any. If you don't mind me asking who may I say is speaking?"

"I am Sheriff Stilinski of the Beacon Hills police precinct."

"A law keeper I am speaking to a musker."

"Sheriff." He gently corrected.

"Are you not a keeper of the law who took an oath of serve and protect the people of their land?"

"Yes."

"And you are the head of this cause are you not?"

"Yes I am."

"Then you are law keeper."

Stilinski smiled, as he could tell that he could not call bluff when they said they were not from around here, "I'll take it. You were right you're not from around here."

"I came from a different land."

"I believe it."

"Forgiveness for my rambling, but to be honest I don't know what's going on. I was supposed to head for home, but the thing of it is I just woke up."

"What do you mean woke up?"

"I've been asleep for six months apparently they called it something, they said I was in a co-com-co-coma."

The sheriff connected the dots there was no doubt in his mind that this was just pure coincidence, that there was absolute no reason for everything to be going full circle in the way that they were.

"I'm sorry, but did you say coma?"

"Aye I did, I was in a coma for six months."

"Do you know a Scott McCall and Stiles Stilinski?"

"Those names do sound familiar, Koda did say those names."

"A Koda Ferguson?"

"I don't know, she just said her name was Koda and that she too had come from the same hospital, all that I know is that they went back. Although, now kind of think of it, I never did get their full names, the only one that I did get was a Derek Hale. Tierisch I call him."

Stilinski knew right there and then he was in fact talking to the girl that he saw in his vision and the much older version in the hospital bed. The girl that had plagued Scott for the passed six months, the girl that was thought to be only a mere dream and fantasy turns out to be nothing more of flesh and blood. The only thing he could think of, was to find her and keep herself for Scott's sake, but how could he when his own son was his top priority.

His mental gears started to be functioning again. He gathered his bearings and brought the receiver to his lips.

"Okay, what's your name sweetheart?" he asked.

He soon found that no answer came through.

He was taken a back.

"Hello?" he said.

No answer.

"Are you still there?"

Little did he know was that the girl was ducking out of sight as a Ghost Rider came closer to the courier as it did its rounds trying to see if anyone was left. It hopped off its horse and went up to the courier. It ripped the door open nearly ripping it off the hinges only to find nothing, but the receiver on the floor. Sheriff trying talking over the other side, the ghost rider took it and yanked it, severing communication.

The girl poked her hear from behind a car and saw the rider looking through the car as if trying to find her. The girl crouched down and started to walk, doing her best to stay out of sight. She could hear the spur coming down the road with every step it took, as it came closer and closer.

She held her breath as it passed by her. The girl stayed so still that every sound went silent, as if time itself stopped. The girl squeezed her eyes shut, clutched her fists as she knew well the wounds had reopened, but she didn't care. All she wanted was to get out of this hell, wake up from this nightmare for this was her heaven.

It had been a bit and it seemed the rider had gone far up the road, she looked through the window to see if it was there, but nothing was there. The girl ducked down and took a breath of relieve.

It was interrupted when a gun went off and a bullet went through the glass as the shattered glass washed over the girl. The girl knowing that she had been spotted takes off running ignoring her feet being shredded by the broken glass on the ground. The ghost rider fired rounds, but missed as they only hit the cars as she passed them. The girl ducked behind one car.

A loud growl was heard not too far. The girl poked her head from her hiding place as she could see car flying off the road as loud footprints were hitting the ground. The rider turned around and was pounced on as it was being mauled. The girl took this as her cue to leave, she ran off the road and into the woods.

She ran through the woods for a good half mile looking back over her shoulder trying to see if she was being followed. Before she could fix herself, her foot got caught in a branch making her trip, and roll down a hill and into a creek. She then heard branches and twigs breaking, she panicked and tried to get up to her feet, but failed as she fell back into the creek leaving her with no other option, but to crawl. She crawled to shore when a hand went on her shoulder from behind making her yell as she grabbed a rock and turned making contact with a young woman.

"Whoa, its okay!" she claimed frightened by the girl's reaction.

The girl held the rock in her head as if for dear life. The girl wiped her head as the girl clearly broke skin.

"Are you all right?" she asked.

The girl went back.

"You don't need that I'm not going to hurt you."

The girl didn't leave anything to chance as she still held the rock.

"Okay, fine you can keep the rock just down throw it or hit me with it again." the young woman pleaded as she clearly knew that this was not going well.

"What's going on over there?!" a voice hollered from afar.

"Everyone okay?" another voice hollered.

The girl took this as a chance and took off running. The girl ran until she had reached a dirt road. It seemed balance was not her friend as she lost her footing once more causing her to fall forward hitting her head hard knocking her into a daze. Two bright lights come at her, she covers herself knowing that history seemed to want to repeat itself. From tires screeching to faint screams, the car came to a direct stop as it was nearly to the girl's head.

Frantic movement moved the car from inside. A muffled "oh my God." could be heard as the doors flew opened and panicked feet could be heard running to the front of the car. The girl looked up and saw Mason and Hayden.

"Are you okay?" Hayden asked.

Brushes began to rustle as the young woman came onto the road.

"Malia?" Hayden said.

"Hey." Malia said.

"Holy crap." Mason said running his hand through his face.

"What happened?" Hayden said kneeling to the girl's level.

"Be careful, she has a rock in her hand, that and a good arm." Malia said rubbing her head.

Hayden assessed the girl and saw that she was pretty banged up, "Why are you so wet?" she asked.

Before the girl could answer voice could be heard.

"Everyone okay here?" Liam asked as he and Corey came out of the woods.

"Can I put my heart back in my chest first?" Mason asked.

"What happened?" Corey asked.

Liam turned his sights on Malia and was in shock, "Malia?"

"Hey Liam." She said.

"What are you doing here?"

"I actually wanted-" She was interrupted when out of the shadows someone fell on the road.

Everyone turned and went to their aid. They were helped up to their feet and taken to the car where it was reviled to be Isaac.

"Son of Abraham?" the girl said.

"You." He said with an accusing finger pointed to her, "I am officially retiring when I'm done here. Just wait once he gets you, I'm done I'm going back to Paris."

"Good take me with you while you're at it, I'll be heading there to."

"What's going on here?!" Cora asked scaring everyone as she came out of the woods.

Malia could see that Isaac and Cora weren't looking good as they were banged up and trying to catch their breath as if they had been running for awhile, "What happened to you guys?"

"They took them, they took everyone?" Isaac exclaimed.

"Who?" Liam asked

"We don't know, men on horses, cowboys." Cora further explained.

"They were taking people, some even disappeared into green smoke when they shot at them." Isaac added.

Everyone looked at each other.

"They're not lying." The girl finally spoke.

Everyone turned to her.

"There's nothing left, just cars, no one everyone's gone." She added.

"How do you know that?" Malia asked.

"Because I saw them, I was on that road, it looked like it was looking for people it shot at me as I tried to run, it was some cowboy, and it didn't even look human."

"Ghost Rider." Corey said.

"Pardon?"

"What you guys saw, that was a Ghost Rider."

"A Ghost Rider?"

"Yes."

"Wow then this really is Hell."

"What?" everyone said.

"Ghost Rider's are bounty hunters, some say they were sent by Michael to hunt down demons, some even say that they are the Devil's bounty hunters to go after souls that have escaped from Hell." The girl explained.

"Wait I'm sorry I'm a little lost here, what." Cora said.

"Ghost Riders they ride with the hunt, the storm." Mason explained.

"The wild hunt? That's a myth."

"Why would Ghost riders be with the wild hunt, the wild hunt it of the world of Fae, Ghost rider are bounty hunters, not riders of the hunt." The girl said.

"Fae?"

"Fairies or more of the creature that come from Fae, the wild hunt goes to where the leader goes anywhere at any time, the hunt goes with the leader goes or ruler depending on which folklore you go by and yes they will also hunt the condemned. After all, all is fair game, but I don't see why they would use ghost riders. You're sure that these are Ghost Rider's and not some kind of shifter or vengeful spirits?"

"I'm sure you've seen a few." Cora said sarcastically.

"Aye I have many times and they are not ones to trifle with."

"But they are Ghost Rider's we've seen them many times, we even fought them." Hayden exclaimed.

"We even got taken by them." Mason said.

"And that was your biggest mistake that is deemed unwise you never get in the way of a hunter especially one from Michael, for that is what makes you a liability that is why you got taken from them because you were a threat to the cause a threat in what had to be done."

"Michael?"

"She's talking about the arc angel Michael." Isaac said.

"Very good son of Abraham." The girl praised.

"Whoa back up angels, demons, fairies what's going on here, I haven't been here for almost two years and this is what I come back to." Cora said.

"You're not the only one." Isaac added.

"Least you missed the dead pool, the Chimaras and the Beast." Malia said.

"The Beast came here, my this really is Hell, just kill me now?" The girl suggested.

"This isn't Hell." Corey claimed.

"No?"

"This is Beacon Hills."

"Beacon Hills, it should be Beacon Hell because that's what this is."

"Who are you?" Cora said annoyed.

"That's one hell of a way to ask someone a question."

"She's the girl that Derek told us to look for, Scott's been looking for her." Isaac explained.

"Why?" the girl asked.

"I don't know really, just that he told us to find you."

The girl looked at the people around.

"Oh, we never gave you our names." Hayden said, "My name's Hayden, this is Mason, those two are Liam and Corey, that's Malia."

"And this is Isaac and I'm Cora, great now that we have the names sorted out, can we get out of here because I really don't want to get shot at again?" Cora irritatedly walked away.

The girl gave Isaac a look that said it all.

"She's just like her brother take use it against her, I mean she is right we were shot at a couple of time." Isaac explained.

"So was I, but that doesn't mean you need to act like that." The girl said.

"That's true too."

"How's you head?" The girl asked Malia.

"It's okay."

"Forgiveness, I thought you were another rider."

"It's okay, that was my fault, should've tried a more different approach, shouldn't have snuck up on you like that even though I wasn't trying to." Malia said trying to find the right words.

"Words are not your friend, are they?"

"I'm working on it."

"I still have the same problem, talking isn't really our forte."

"Nope."

"Let's go!" Cora called back.

"Looks like patience isn't her forte." Malia said.

"Afraid so." The girl said.

Thunder clattered just off in the distance.

"We better go, before the demons come, Michael isn't took keen on having an audience, then again this is an ideal night for the Dullahan." The girl suggested.

"Whose he?"

"Like Michael he doesn't like people watching him while on errands, he doesn't mind striking people's eyes out with his whip that's made out of a human spine."

"You don't think we'd run into him, will we?"

"No, but something's not right."

"Hey guys." Mason calls for their attention.

The two turn to him.

"The car just died." Mason stated.

"What?!" Liam said.

"It died."

Liam rushes into the car and tries to start it, but the only sound that could be heard is the engine turning over.

"No, no no no." Liam said hitting the steering wheel a couple of time before trying to start it again.

"You'll only flood it if you keep doing that." The girl warned.

"Great, $500 down the drain!"

"Worst of all they don't make this car any more." Mason stated.

"Thank you, now I need a newer car."

"Well what are we going to do, because we can't stay here and that Hellion is going to kill us if we don't move our asses?"

"Push it." The girl said.

At the same time, on the empty streets of the city Scott rode on until coming to a stop. He unmounted himself from his bike, and walked down the road as he looked around.

Another bike came down the opposite side before coming to a stop.

"You okay?" Ethan asked.

"Yeah you?" Scott asked.

"Confused."

"Not alone there."

"Hey have you heard from anyone?"

"No, you?"

"Nothing."

"Where is everyone?"

"Good question, you're guess is as good as mine."

Meanwhile, Stiles bolts into the police station only to find it empty.

"Dad?" Stiles calls running through the station to find his dad. "Dad?!

He looks all through the station to find no one in sight.

"What the hell?"

He hears the doors open, "Dad?"

He rushes to the front only to find Scott and Ethan.

"Scott." Stiles said.

"Anyone here?" Scott asked looking around to find it eerily empty.

"No." he pauses, "No one."

"Can someone fill me because I'm not following and I'm starting to feel like we're acting out a scene from a post apocalyptic film. Are fighting zombies, aliens, or robots from the future with the intent of eliminating man kind as we speak?" Ethan suggested.

"This isn't funny!" Scott snapped, "You think it's a game it's not!"

Scott shoves passed Ethan annoyed with his ignorance, slams the door on his way out with such force it shatters the glass into pieces and doesn't even look back to acknowledge what he's done. Ethan taken back by this looks to Stiles for an explanation, but all he gets in return is a look of painful dread mixed with the undeniable unmistakable scent of sadness.

"What's going on?" Ethan asked in a changed tone.

"Long story." Stiles answers before walking passed him.

Stiles opens the door slowly trying not to make anymore glass break as the shards crunching sounds could clearly be heard as he walks on them as he gets out of the station. Ethan knowing that he's not going to get his answers in an empty police station which would be an ideal place to shoot a Wes Craven film. He follows Stiles' suite and leaves the station.

Elsewhere, Liam and Mason push the car down the road with the help of Corey and Isaac.

"Still can't believe $500 down the drain." Liam said.

"I told you the price was too low." Mason nagged.

"Yeah well I thought the guy was in a generous mood."

"You got it at a scrap yard what did you expect?" Corey added.

"Enough I don't want to hear any more of your bitching!" Cora snapped clearly not in the mood for constant whining.

"What's up with her?" Liam asked Isaac.

"I don't know, but she's defiantly Derek's sister."

"Derek has a sister?"

"You didn't know?"

"Derek and I aren't really friends, unless you call being pinned up against a locker a way of saying "hey let's be friends."

"Yeah that sounds like Derek."

"What the hell?" Cora said.

This caught the boys' attention as they looked up at Cora who was clearly looking in the opposite direction. The boys turn to where her attention was drawn to and find the girl lying on the ground as if she has fallen.

Malia and Hayden were not too far from the girl as they stood close by, also taken back by this behavior. The girl had her ear on the ground as if trying to hear something.

"Do you feel that?" the girl asked.

"Feel?" Malia asked.

"Yes, can't you feel it, its like a hum, a constant hum, humming, vibrating. Don't you feel it too?"

Hayden and Malia looked at each other trying to piece together what she just said, they looks to their peers who are as taken back by this as they are. Cora rolls her eyes and resumes walking.

"Great another psycho just what the doctor ordered." Cora bellowed.

"What the hell is your problem?" Malia scolded.

"Excuse me." Cora snapped back.

"Yeah you really should you've been giving her nothing, but a boat load a bull and I'm sick of it."

"Aw, well if you're so sick of it, then leave."

"You know what I think I will and while I'm at it I'm going to take my new best friend with me too, bitch. Come on let's leave." Malia goes to turn to the girl only to find that she had disappeared.

She looks around and looks to the boys.

"Where'd she go?" she asks.

They look among themselves confused for they too weren't paying attention.

"Hey." Malia called, "Where are you?" She trends off to find the girl.

She goes into the brush and walks through the woods, she doesn't get very far when finds the girl in an open field looking into space.

"There you are, you can't be running around like that." Malia politely scolded.

"Don't feel that?"

"Feel what?"

"That."

"What do you feel?"

"Like-." The girl trails off before taking a few steps forward.

Malia goes by the girl's side and looks off into the distance, "What do you see?"

The girl looks around before taking Malia's hand and puts it out causing an electric discharge as soon as Malia's hand made contact with an unseen wall. Malia is pushed back nearly off her feet. Malia looks at her hand and see that it's burned before trying to make of what just happened.

The girl lightly touches the invisible wall, making ripples of electricity as her hand glided across the wall.

"What the hell?" Isaac said.

Malia still couldn't make of what happened.

"What's going on?" Isaac asked unsure if what he was seeing was real.

"I don't know, it just shocked me pretty good."

"What?"

"I don't know its like some kind of invisible wall."

The girl grew frantic as she then pushed at the wall only to have it send her flying back a couple of feet. A loud scream could be heard from just a few feet away, as the rest of the group started to show up witnesses what had happened. Isaac and Malia ran to her aid before long so did the rest of the pack. They helplessly watched as the girl laid still as there were sure signs of the muscle constrictions. The girl started to come to and tried to move.

"I don't think you should move." Isaac suggested having a concern tone in his voice.

"Yeah I don't think so either." Mason agreed but his concern fell on deaf ears as she force herself to get up into a sitting position before summoning all of her strength to get up to her feet and attempted to walk

When that proved to be impossible, Liam and Cory quickly caught her before she could make contact with the ground.

"Okay yeah, this is not working." Liam quickly said.

The two both took her by the arms and started to take her away from the area. They went back to the road, and as if on cue a pair of headlights started to come down the road before a jeep came into view stopping in front of them.

Stiles quickly got out of the car and went up to the three.

"What happened?" Stiles asked.

"She was thrown, she touched some wall, some invisible wall and she was thrown like fifteen feet across the field." Liam explained.

"How did that happened?"

"You think we know?" Cory asked.

"Well Stiles how about you take it from here, because I'm not being paid to baby-sit." Cora said.

"That's it." Malia said lunges forward at Cora only to be held back by a few of her peers.

While chaos ensued, the girl clearly was unphased by this. Liam went to try to help leaving Cory and the girl. The girl started to walk on her own for a bit, she then started to pull Cory with.

"You want to go somewhere?" he asked.

The turned her head to the direction she wanted to go, before she started to make her way, as Cory quickly got the memo and started to follow suit. The two went down the road and Isaac caught sight of this as the rest were trying to keep the peace.

Elsewhere, Ste and Lydia were driving down the road.

"So has this place always been like this?" Ste asked

"Pretty much." Lydia said

"And this girl she a friend of yours?"

"You could say that."

"So what happened to her?"

"Stop." She said.

"Look I'm not good at this."

"I said stop!"

Ste stopped the car Lydia rushed out of the car and heard fighting, she quickly ran to the direction where it came from and Ste followed suit. They ran for a bit before being met with Stile's jeep. Pretty soon two motorcycles and a black camaro came down the road as Lydia flagged them down.

"They're over here." She pointed before heading that way.

Scott quickly got off the bike before it was at a complete stop as he rushed to the others, only to find them on a train platform.

"Stiles where is she?" Scott frantically asked.

"She's over there on the tracks with Isaac and Cory." Stiles replied.

Scott hurried into the direction Stiles said. Derek entered the scene to find everyone shouting and screaming at each other.

"Can you keep a leash on your girlfriend or something?" Cora whined.

"What happened?" Derek asked completely taken off guard by this whole thing as people tried to hold Malia back in order to keep the girls separated.

"Go deal with that over there." Cora pointed.

"What's going on?"

"Malia's on the war path." Liam exclaimed.

Malia can be heard just a little off in the distance most likely shouting profanity as Lydia went to help her friend.

"Are you Derek?" Hayden asked.

"Yes." Derek said.

"I'm Hayden, she's down there if you were wondering."

Derek dashed down the tracks.

The girl and Isaac had their heads on the tracks trying to hear something. The two looked at each other.

"Anything?" the girl asked.

"No." Isaac answered.

The girl groaned trying to get them to understand. The girl put her ear on the track trying to hear it which was clear to her.

"What are we listening for?" Corey asked.

"A hum."

"Hum?"

The girl sat up, "A hum can't you hear it too?"

"No."

The girl groaned again.

"I know you said a hum but what does it sound like?" Isaac asked.

"It's a humming sound, it's a constant hum, no rests no rhythm, its just constantly humming." The girl explained, "Understand?"

"Yeah, but I'm sorry we don't hear it."

The girl whined, she looks around and is a bit taken back, "May I ask a question?"

"Yeah."

"I was told that this land does not have a train station, but this is one."

"We do have trains go by, freight trains and all, but no passenger trains, this is just rest stops is all." Corey explained.

The girl put her head on the track again, "Where is this humming coming from?"

The girl looks up down the track and saw someone running down the tracks towards them.

"One of yours?" she asked.

The boys looked at the direction the girl was looking to.

"Scott?" Isaac said.

Scott comes to a stop and gives a sigh of relief when he sees the girl safe and alive.

"Oh it's the boy from the cemetery." The girl stated.

Derek stops just a few inches from Scott also relieved about the girl's safety.

"With Tierisch not too far behind." She gets up to her feet.

Scott is a bit taken back by this as he turns to find Derek walks up to him. Corey and Isaac are also floating down the stream of confusion as they too look to Derek for answers, who simply just shrugs before heading to the girl.

"Oi." She says to Corey, "Where does this track lead to?"

"I don't know." Corey says.

The girl then starts to walk down the track as Isaac makes a strangled noises stating his disagreement as he quickly starts to take charge of damage control as he turns the girl in the other direction.

"I think we need to regroup and stay calm and figure something out, because you running around is giving us headaches." Isaac exclaimed.

"Then keep up." The girl stated "I tell that to all the men I meet. I don't stay in one place for too long."

"Well we're starting to get that, and besides I don't think you should be walking after having forty thousands volts throw you across the field."

"What?!" Derek and Scott shouted in shock as the news of this just got to them.

"Yeah about that." Isaac said, "We may have failed to mention that."

Scott went up to the girl and moved her hair out of the way to find dried blood on her ears, he then looks at her hands as they shows burns and cuts on them. He even notices tiny glass shards in the girl's hair.

Derek sees this too, but not in her hair on her feet, he pulls out a small shard of glass from the girl's foot, who makes a small painful groan. He gets up to his feet and notices a green residue on it. Scott looks at it knowing fully well where that came from.

The rest of the group were still fighting like children. Scott led the rest of the others to regroup.

"Oh look it's Houdini, hi Houdini care to show us more tricks?" Cora sarcastically asked.

The girl simply gave a look to Cora that simply showed that she was acting like a child and just simple walked away from the group before settling on a track.

"Well let me know if you do." Cora begrudgedly said.

"Cora knock it off." Derek scolded.

"She's been doing that the whole damn time."

"I know, but you need to calm down."

"I came here to help you and this is the thanks I get."

"Oh my God can you just shut the hell up for once." Malia chimed in.

"Malia enough." Stiles scolded.

"No Stiles, she has been throwing cheap shot sat this girl over and over again and I'm sick of it. I'm not going to let her degrade this girl anymore."

"She's just like her brother who just also happens to be your cousin." Lydia added.

"Yeah Derek told me as much, looks like living in the woods hasn't done a thing with that attitude of yours." Cora said.

"Cora!" Derek scolded.

"Well its true."

Malia growled as her eyes glowed blue.

"Bring it." Cora said.

"Malia relax." Scott said.

"You don't tell me what to do Scott, I'm not the one who left when things got tough. And yeah I lived in the woods but I stuck it out, just like I did coming here, just like I did in school, just like with the dead pool along with all the other crap." Malia said, "But you left Scott."

"He had his reasons." Stiles defended.

"Just like you had your reasons of hiding secrets from me."

"Don't act like you weren't hiding things too."

"At least I know how to live with them."

As the bickering continued the girl covered her ears hoping to drown out the sound, but soon a new sound came. She uncovered her ears and started to look around trying to find the source of the sound. She started to feel vibrations. Mason saw this before tapping Ethan's shoulder who looked at the girl confused the girl starts to crouch down. The girl put her hand on the railing and started to feel the vibrations get stronger.

"That's it!" Cora shouted, "You guys can have your little lovers spat or whatever this is, but I'm going back."

Cora gets on the track and the girl looks at her in utter dismay and concern.

"Get off." The girl says in a whisper.

"Next time don't call me for anything."

"Cora get off." The girl says a little more louder only to have it fall on deaf ears.

"You guys can do what you want, but I'm getting out of here."

"Cora move!" The girl shouted.

"What the hell-" before Cora could finish the girl shoved her out of the way just in time before a train could hit Cora.

Everyone looked on in shock as they weren't paying attention to even notice an oncoming train. Everyone was caught on one side while the girl was on the other side. Once the train fully passed it went down its route. Lydia saw the girl looking down the track and saw something that wasn't right.

"Guys." Lydia shakily said.

The air started to grow stiff and Lydia had trouble swallowing as if someone had their hands around her throat choking her.

"Guys." She sad nearly sobbing as she turned to her friends, well a sudden feeling to look after the girl grew strong, she turns to the girl, then shouts, "Look out!"

Then girl turns around only to find a beast like creature about to pounce on her before it was run down by a train. Everyone reacts as the train derails.

"Run!" Stiles shouts as the train begins to crash.

The entire fifty ton cars jackknife and crash upward vertically.

Everyone scatters within the chaos, Ethan and Isaac go one way, Malia and Corey go another and the rest head in one direction. Scott stops when he sees the girl run in an entirely different direction where Ste and Liam follow suit.

"Guys!" Scott shouts to them.

He runs after them as nearby cars rip off the track tumbling cars from farther back jetting towards them slamming into the depot shattering it, the whole area decimated.

The chaos still continues, the girl and the some of the others head down a path only to in their track when they hear a loud harsh hissing which came from propane tanks that have fallen out of the cars, and a small patch of fire just a few inches away from, this gave them the cue to start running the other way as a set of explosions went off sending shockwaves across the area.

Then all of a sudden dead silence.

Scott come outs of a cloud of smoke coughing as he tries to find his friends.

"Stiles, Lydia, Hayden." He calls.

"Scott, Cora, Isaac." Derek called.

"Stiles."

"Over here." Stiles calls back.

Scott runs to the direction to find Stiles helping Malia up to her feet.

"Derek?" Lydia said going up to him.

"Are you alright?" he asked.

"I'm fine, you?"

"I'm okay where is everyone?"

"Guys." Liam called.

They go in the direction and find Mason throwing up as other stand in shock.

"You guys okay?" Hayden asked.

"I'm alive." Ste said.

The girl pushed off a metal cover and got up to her feet. She started to walk a few feet before hitting the ground.

Everyone starts to regroup checking up on each other making sure everything is okay, in the mist of all this, all Scott could think of was where was the girl in all this. The girl laid on the ground before Derek went up to her.

"Hey." He said soothingly.

He helped her up to her feet.

"You okay?" he asked gently.

The girl looked at him in awe, she tried to stay up, but lost her balance in which Derek was quick to catch her. He rocked her in his arms holding her so tenderly. The girl leans on him in order to stay on her feet. He could feel her weak little body, how light and frail she was, he felt her little shakes as the adrenaline was going down. Felt her tremble and yet this beautiful creature somehow found the will to keep going, it frustrated and inspired him as he couldn't find out why she would find the will to keep going after all that's happened so far.

"Are you okay?" it was barely a whisper, but he knew where it came from.

He looked down at the girl who was looking up at him. Her face was covered in dirt and soot.

Derek cups her cheek, oddly the girl leans into the touch. His thumb creases her cheek bone, while his eyes searched for answers.

"I'm fine, but right now I need to know if you're okay?" he asked.

The girl nodded.

"Okay." He nodded.

She leans into him, where he wraps her up in his arms.

"Come on." He says softly as he leads her away.

Everyone is still in shock, Scott frantically looks for the girl, he tries to retrace her steps is stops to a dead halt when he sees something he hoped he'd only see in his dreams. He sees a pool of blood. He walks towards it as the lump in his throat threatened to choke him. He sees hair and blood drip from a cart.

No. He thought, It can't be not her, please not her. This can't be happening, not again.

He fell to his knee trying to keep it together, but how could he the woman he promised to protect was gone, he failed her that was the one thing he promised not to do.

Stiles saw his friend quietly sobbing, He saw the blood and thought the worse. He went up to his friend and put his hand on Scott's shoulder lightly squeezing it letting him know he was there.

Scott squeezed his eyes shut hoping that it was just a dreams that he would wake up, but when he opened his eyes he sees the reality, that she was gone.

"I'm suppose to wake up." He said.

"I'm sorry Scott." Stiles said.

"This can't be real, this isn't real this is a dream, I'm suppose to wake up, this is a dream." Scott insisted. He closes his eyes hoping it would hold back the tears, but it fails.

"Everyone okay?" Someone asked.

Scott's eyes snap open, did he really summon the sound of her voice to where his imagination is making him hear it as if she was still alive?

Derek and his maiden joined the group.

"Is that blood, is someone bleeding?" The girl asked.

Stiles pats Scott, who turns to the girl and looks as her in complete and utter relief, he gets up to his feet still taken back hoping that this was not a trick that his mind was playing on him, he turns to Stiles for conformation who only nods.

"Are you hurt?" she asks kindly.

Scott scoffs and goes up to her locking her in an embrace.

This completely takes the girl off guard by this as she looks at everyone confused and uncomfortable. Her hands are up in the air unsure what to do. It's not until she starts to notice the way Scott is hugging her. It wasn't just a hug, not the kind she's used to getting, but a hug that is giving to an old friend or someone that one has not seen for a long time. It was as if the hug was more than that like a hug of relieve a hug as if someone was missing or if someone was unsure if one was okay. The girl could feel Scott shaking, could feel his heartbeat rapidly in his chest. She looks to Stiles who can just give her a small sympathetic smile, just looking at him the girl knew there was something up something that she needed to get a hold of, but right now all she can do is simply hug Scott back which is exactly what she did. She rubbed his back telling him that everything was okay, that she was okay. She looks up at Lydia who is also covered in dirt and soot, who just smiles as her.

Once everything was back in order, the girl pulled Lydia way from the group.

"Okay you need to tell me what's going on, Bella because I don't know what's going on, and motor mouth isn't going to tell and Tierisch just keeps on being difficult." She said

"Tierisch?"

"The one that looks like he's in a bad mood all the time, got his face all scrunched up and looks like is frozen like that."

"Oh that's Derek."

"Well judging on how everyone else is, they don't know what's going on and that Cora girl doesn't seem to like me, so you need to tell me what's going on. Why is that boy-"

"Scott."

"Scott? What's going on with him? What happened back there that's not normal because I never met him before tonight, so what's going on here?"

"It's kind of a long story."

"And it involves me somehow."

Lydia takes a deep breath before she starts to speak, "Okay he's been having these dreams and all, honestly we've all been having visions and its kind of been messing with our heads. Its just that, well six months ago something happened and he's been really hard on himself."

"The wildling did say something about that."

"I guess you can say he's trying to fix that."

"What happened?"

"He feels like it was his fault."

"You said he's been having dreams, what kind of dreams?"

"I don't know, just that he really hasn't been himself."

"We all have bad dreams, nightmares, even I do sometimes."

"I think it's just PTSD."

"That's a bold suggestion, but I guess that would explain everything."

"Its been really hard on him."

"That boy hugged me so tight I didn't' know what to make of it."

"He was just relieved."

"Still don't see why."

"You're one of us now."

"Yet nothing is making sense, everything is completely off derailed even."

"What is?"

"Don't know, I'm still trying to figure it out, all that I know is that it's wrong."

"Hey anyone happen to have some jumper cables or an extra battery, Stiles needs a jump?" Ste asked.

"Doesn't Derek have one?" Lydia asked.

"You mean Mr. Grumpy Face, didn't ask, otherwise we're pushing."

And pushing they did, they pushed the jeep a few miles. The girl walked with them until she decided to walk with Malia.

"Malia, right?" the girl asked.

"Yeah."

"So you and Scott used to be together."

"Yeah." Malia said sadly.

"I don't mean to pry, but you said something back there, something about leaving, giving up, what did you mean by that?"

"About a year ago, some hunters started to hunt us, they wanted to kill everyone supernatural creature, they even planned to go all over the world to do so."

"Genocide?"

"Yeah, we thought let's take the fight to them, so we went. Scott took in some kid to help and fight. He didn't make it."

"And Scott feels he's the reason why the boy died."

"It put a toll on him, on us. We just grew apart, he just never got back to his old self."

"Were you able to stop it, genocide?"

"I don't know."

"How are you, if I may?"

"I don't know."

The girl all of sudden stopped and Malia turned to her, the girl had her head tilted to the side.

"Do you hear that?" she asked.

"What?"

"The hum."

"Alright, let's give it a jump." Ste suggested.

While the boys tried to bring Stiles jeep to life, the girl started to walk ahead of them, that is until she came to a stop. Everyone looked on confused by this behavior, the girl continued to look forward.

"What's up with her?" Liam asked.

The girl goes to put her hand out, but Malia takes her by the wrist and shakes her head, as if they had learned their lesson he first time. The girl steps back as Malia throws a rock, which hits a force field causing an electrical discharge. The girls exchanged looks. The girl turns to Scott.

"Do you have a map?" she asked.

Stiles springs into action as he put a map on the hood of his jeep.

"Okay how far was it from the first wall we encounter?" the girl asked.

"Couldn't be too car from the highway." Isaac mentioned.

"It was in some kind of field, not too far from some drill site." Malia added.

"That would be right here." Stiles said marking the spot.

"How far are we from the train station?" The girl asked.

"That's right here."

"What's going on?" Hayden asked.

"Something is going on here and what whatever is going on it doesn't want us to leave, as if its keeping us here." The girl.

"Why?" Liam asked.

"You tell me."

"The ghost riders." Mason suggested.

"What?" Scott said.

"These cowboy guys were on the highway taking people and shooting them, Cora and I barely got out of there." Isaac explained.

"Aye, I saw one too, and from what I was told ghost riders are bounty hunters the Devil's bounty hunters, said to hunt down souls, demons that have escaped from Hell."

"These ones are of the hunt, the wild hunt." Lydia said.

"The wild hunt?"

"Yes."

"Impossible, there's no way, they're not part of the wild hunt."

"They erased people." Corey added.

"Erased people? You mean like memory wise or out of existence?"

"Both." Lydia answered.

"How do you know this?"

"Because I was taken." Stiles said.

"Why?"

"I saw them, if you see them they take you."

"You're sure these were Ghost Riders and not something else, I mean I can understand erasing your memory so that you don't remember them or even seeing them, but erasing the person who saw them that's unheard of. You're sure this wasn't some kind of vampire or soul eating creature like a Troll or Aswang?"

"Nope, they were Ghost riders."

"That's doesn't make sense, not even remotely possible. Why would Ghost Riders go that far to do that, I mean not unless-" the girl stops and starts to make sense with the information she was given, as she starts to get a logic explanation.

"What?" Scott asked.

"Unless they didn't know what they were hunting, they were hunting something, but had no idea almost as if it was cloaking itself hiding amongst you. So not knowing what they were hunting and afraid that it may have embedded itself into your memories to took people thinking that it was what they were looking for as a way to capture it. Erase the memory, kill the creature, all is well."

"Without the memory there's no way."

"Of it coming back." the girl finished.

"But they still kept at it because they didn't find it meaning the hunt was still on."

"How did it end, what was it they were looking for or did they find it?"

"Mr. Douglas, he was part Ghost Rider part Löwenmench."

"They were looking for one of their own, and I'm guess as soon they caught him the hunt was over?"

"After we got people to remember, diverted the train, he still thought he was in control and apparently they don't have leaders and he became one."

"They have leaders just not the ones you'd think of."

"So the Ghost Riders are back because something escaped, a demon?"

"That beast."

"Beast."

"The one from the cemetery, I saw that same one on the highway, it mauled a Ghost Rider ripping it apart."

"The same one that derailed the train." Lydia added.

"They got to be hunting that, there's no other explanation."

"So their hunting the creature, let them hunt it, what does that have to do with us, why can't we just get the hell out of here?" Ste asked.

"When you're hunting something and the only thing you know is that it's on the area, what do you do?" Derek asked.

"Trap it, keep it from leaving, but we don't know if that's what's happening, you heard her they hunt demons and stuff, not us."

"She also said that they don't know what their hunting and to avoid any mix ups or leave anything to chance they take everyone."

"Which is why we need to see if my theory is correct other wise we'll be chasing shadows. Now when this hunt was happening did anything like this happen you guys being prevented to leave?"

"No, we were able to leave." Scott answered, "Except with the Anuk-ite."

"An Anuk-ite?" the girl said in shock

"Yeah." Malia conformed.

"You guys faced off with an Anuk-ite and lived to tell the tale, impressive."

"Yeah I guess."

"The Anuk-ite feeds on fear chaos, but how did it come here?"

"When we entered the hunt I guess we ended up freeing it." Liam stated.

"But the Ghost Riders didn't come for it."

"No, Scott here defeated it."

"You did?" The girl said impressed with Scott's victory.

"I did."

The girl smiled proudly at Scott's efforts, "Your Alpha must've been proud."

"Actually he is an Alpha." Liam corrected.

"He's an Alpha, you're an Alpha?" The girl asked in shock and excitement.

"Yes." Scott nodded.

"You don't cease to amaze me."

Ste clears his throat, "Sorry, as much as its cute to watch her go fan girl, but what the hell is an Anuk-ite."

"It's a creature that feeds on fear, chaos, amplifies it to a point were people go mad with paranoia, to appoint where it leads them killing each other killing themselves." The girl explained.

"Whoa."

"A horrible yet innovative way to win wars or to make a kingdom tear itself apart.

"You're pretty dark, aren't you?"

"Well when you've been through hell and back for eleven years you'd go pretty dark too." Derek said scoldingly.

"Anything else happen after the Anuk-ite?" The girl asked.

"The hunters that were under the influence of the Anuk-ite decided to take the fight to Europe, to execute a Genocidal plan of attack on every supernatural creature in the world. We went to stop it."

"Did you succeed?"

"We don't know."

"What did it cost you?"

Derek grew silent and looked at Scott for a brief second, the girl turns to Scott to find his head down in shame sadness could be seen on his face. The girl took this as a cue to change the subject.

"You." She pointed to Stiles, "Your land, how big is it?"

Stiles quickly got his brain to function, "Beacon hills is actually pretty big." Stiles led her to the map, "If you include the preserve, it goes on for miles."

"Where's the edge?"

"Here." Stiles marked.

The girl thought of an idea, but shook her head when it seemed too dangerous.

"What?"

"Nothing."

"You looked like you had an idea, what is it?"

"Too dangerous, wouldn't work."

"Well we're fresh out of ideas and you're the only one whose making sense here so I don't know about everyone else, but I'm all ears." Ste said.

"What is it?" Derek asked soothingly.

"We split up, we divide ourselves in to group go to the edges of the land to see if its blocked off. If so then it seems I may be right, not then I guess get hell out of here then." The girl said.

"But how can we know we all are having car trouble and the phones are out." Hayden reminded.

"Actually I think I have something for that." Ste suggested.

And just like that Ste went to his trunk and pulled out a black duffle bag where he opened it up present an array of electronics and walkie talkies. Derek and Ste hurried to bring the other cars to life to try and execute the girl's plan. Ste, and Lydia went to their destination, where Mason and Hayden go on their way as Ethan and Corey went on their way.

The wait was excruciating, Derek, Isaac, Malia, Cora, Stiles, Liam, and Scott were all waiting for the news, though Scott kept his eyes on the girl who sat in the jeep listening to the static.

"Eagle to Alpha, eagle to alpha." Ste said.

"Go for Alpha." Stiles said.

"Looks like it's here too, we've thrown some rocks at it, al it's doing the same thing."

"Okay, thanks."

"Stiles." Ethan said.

"Yeah we're here."

"It's the same things over here, they're no way out."

Derek ran his hand through his hair in frustration.

"Yeah its pretty much the same here too." Mason said.

Scott closed his eyes in near defeat and Stiles hit the hood of his car, he sighed, "Meet us at the school we're heading over there right now."

"What do we do? We can't get out, there's no where to go." Isaac said.

"We're going to go to school once we're all together we'll figure something out." Derek informed.

"Any more bright ideas Houdini?" Cora mocked.

"Knock it off Cora." Scott said bleakly.

Scott went to Stiles Jeep and guided the girl to his bike.

"Scott I'll take her, you just lead the way." Derek suggested.

The girl noticed Scott's grip become a little hard, and at the corner of her eye she saw Derek go into a stance that only meant a fight was about to break out and that she was well caught in the middle of it.

"Malia why don't you go with Scott here, I can ride with Style that way Cora can go with her brother and son of Abraham can choose who to ride with." The girl instructed.

"Yeah that'll work." Stiles quickly agreed as he didn't want to see round two of Derek vs Scott.

Scott's gripped started to soften enough for the girl to casually take her arm back. She looked up at Derek whose shoulders slumped down and lightened his stance before nodding. The girl went back to Stiles Jeep and took her seat at the passenger's seat. Like the girl suggested Malia went with Scott with no completes and Cora went with her brother along with Isaac who decided to go with them. Stiles started his car, as Scott led the pack to the school.

"What the hell was that back there?" Cora asked completely taken back by this.

"It was nothing." Derek said under his breath almost through gritted teeth.

Cora turned to Isaac hoping he'd have an answer, but he just shrugged and kept quiet. With Stiles it was dead silence, the girl sat almost like a statue until she broke the silence.

"Is it always like that between them?" she asked.

"No, but I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees it."

"When did it start?"

"I don't know it just all of a sudden happened."

"This nonsense needs to stop."

"If you have any ideas I'm all for it."

"Just one."

"Are we going to like it?"

"No, but it's the only one I got."

The rest of the ride to the school was a big blur, as if time had stopped, and yet a time jump had happened, because they were at the school parking lot and somehow she was standing in front of Derek who had heard of her idea.

"What is it?" Derek said.

"What if we were looking at this all wrong, what if this creature is here to take over, claim this land as its own?"

"That's impossible Beacon Hills is neutral ground."

"You think that's it care about that, that its going to stop it. Chaos has a hold of this land everything is out of order, everyone is gone there's no one to defend it and no one to stop it, it will take advantage of that and since no one has come to take a stand, no one to challenge it, it's going to make it its territory."

"So what are you suggesting?"

The girl gets out of the jeep.

"What do you do when someone threatens you, threatens to take something of yours?"

"You fight."

"Exactly, this creature wants to take your land, lay it to waste, what if this creature is the reason for all this chaos the reason this land is trying to defend itself. What it fighting is the only solution?"

"We don't even know what it is?" Liam added.

"Is don't matter it's a threat, what do you do to threats?"

"You put them down." Derek answered.

"Exactly this thing is threatening to take over, that can not happen."

"Okay. Let's do it."

"Are you an alpha too?"

"I was."

"But you're not one now?"

"No."

"The only thing that could take this creature down is an alpha and alpha of this land. The only way to beat an alpha is another alpha." She turns to Scott and walks up to him, "Like you."

"I can't." Scott said.

"Are you an Alpha?"

"He's a true Alpha." Derek answered.

"Amazing, you're the one, you can beat this creature, take back this land, take back what's yours, you do this and all will come to a happy end."

"You don't understand I can't."

"What do you mean you can't, you have to, you are a warrior, protector, you've protected this land from countless of things, things you didn't understand yet you took them on not knowing what the cost would be or if you'd come back, not knowing what you would be faced or what would happen after yet you stood your ground and became that force that most enemies would coward in fear of that, you are that warrior, you are that alpha, be that warrior, be that alpha."

Scott was hesitant to say anything.

"I don't know what exactly happened to you, but I understand that it's been hard on you and I am sorry about your friend."

"Alec." Scott said.

"I know that losing him was a hard blow, one that your still trying to make sense of, but that shouldn't stop you from doing your duty. I know you don't want to hear this, but right now you have a duty to fulfill. You can not let that define you, you can't let it stop you from being that alpha. Take those lessons you've learn and use it as a way to fight this creature. Don't let what happened stop you from being the person you are meant to be."

Scott shook his head still angry still ashamed of himself for letting Alec die, "I can't."

The girl's face fell as it proved that Scott may have failed her. The girl gave a soft nod before stepping back.

"Who is your beta?" she asked.

"That would be me." Liam said raising his hand.

"Perhaps this is a good moment to pass the torch."

"What?"

"Its perfect, a perfect circumstance after all the passing of the torch is a rite of passage, what a great moment for an alpha to officially pass it down to his beta. What if Scott here is no longer the alpha because it is time to pass it on to the next on in session?"

"This isn't a fairy tale you know." Cora stated.

"No, but what an honor it would be for both Alpha and beta."

"Okay its like you're taking in a total different language, I mean who talks like that?"

"She does." Malia answered.

"Maybe she's right, maybe I am to be the new alpha." Liam said.

"Yes you are, now defend this land this is your land." The girl said

"Right."

"You show him that anyone who is a threat to this land and plans to do harm to any of its people that they will face your wrath, that you are not the person to be messed with.

"Yeah." Liam said a little loud confident and pumped with adrenaline.

"You tell him if he want to fight he's got it. He's going to face off with Liam-"

"Dunbar." He finished.

"And Liam Dunbar it the man behind the alpha, the alpha that is going to set things right."

"Yeah I am."

Liam took off running into the school, as the girl could be seen with a smile on her face.

"This is good perhaps this is how the story is to be. It ends with a new alpha rising and the old alpha looking on proudly." The girl said to Scott.

The girl sat on the hood of Derek's car and looked on with excitement. Derek looked at Scott who still looked defeated, but he gaze went back to the girl who was so certain of what was to come. Scott got a sympathetic pat on the shoulder by his best friend who gave him a small smile.

"She's right you should be proud." He said.

It seemed that it would change for anyone if they heard their beta give off a loud strangled cry that may have sounded like a cat being straggled as it was being drowned over the intercom. Cora could not contain her amusement as she busted out laughing while Isaac pressed his lips together and tried to keep from laughing.

Derek bowed his head, closed his eyes, and said, "You got to be kidding me."

Malia looked on and closed her eyes out of embarrassment as this was not helping at all.

"What the hell is that?" Lydia asked under his breath.

"Is someone killing a cat or something, because that's not normal?" Ste said reacting in horror.

"Is he a werecat?" the girl asked, "Because if he is that explains everything."

Scott looked down and shook his head.

"So much for the passing of the torch." Cora said.

"At least she tried to help." Malia defended.

Liam walked out of the school, as the look of embarrassment across his face was painfully noticeable.

"Great job Liam." Cora chanted.

"What the hell was that, this isn't a game Liam this is serious?" Derek bellowed.

"You don't think I know that." Liam fired back.

"At least he did something, what did you do?" Hayden came to her boyfriend's defense.

"Not sound like a dying cat." Isaac answered.

"So much for passing of the torch." Cora mocked.

"You think you can do better." Stiles said.

"I know I can."

"But you're not an alpha are you?"

This shut Cora up quick, who looked to her brother for defense.

"Don't look at me I'm not the one whose been acting like a child this whole time." Derek remarked.

"A child?"

"Yes a child, you've been complaining and giving her such a hard time, and I'm sick on it."

"Well at least I'm not Scott here who can't seem to get this head out of his ass."

"Oh my God." Isaac said, "Cora seriously it's not his fault cut him just little bit of slack."

"Slack, people die everyday so what?"

"Yeah, but still be respectful."

"Yeah you're right, but at least I know I have a job to do."

"Like nearly getting yourself killed taking on an alpha on your own." Lydia added.

"I did it for Boyd, I had a job to do, that was my job."

"Then do it, our job is to fight this creature." Malia said.

"Oh what do you know?"

"I know that I'm not acting like a child."

"All right that's enough." Stiles chimed in.

Bickering started to go back and forth, Ethan and Mason and Cory joined the group unsure what had transpired, they went up to the girl who was away from the situation.

"What happened?" Ethan asked.

"I guess it was just too much for him and they're giving him hell for it." The girl replied.

"Giving who Hell?" Mason asked.

The girl gestured to Liam, who was about to go toe to toe with Isaac. The three men hurried to try and bring peace to the bickering demons.

While they tried to make peace, Scott was going through war with his demons. He stood there quietly, feeling lost and uncertain. He would never forget that look on that girl's face, or shake of the feeling that he failed her. Failure seemed to have become a never yielding companion to Scott.

Scott tried to make peace with his demons, the girl had slipped and had made her way to the school where she started to explore. She explored the halls, having her hand run across the lockers, she even played with the locks, she then turned her attention to the classrooms. She walked through the rows of desks, she had her hand run along the smooth cold surface of one of the desks she even took a seat in it.

Sadness and the feeling of missing out over came her as this was not something she got a chance to experience, but they could over take her she turned her attention to the chalkboard.

Wiped it with her hand and when she turned to see her hand, she saw a light coat of left over chalk, in which a small laugh escaped her lips. She found a piece of chalk and started to draw with it, making doodles and writing random numbers and letters. She started to clap the erasers as a cloud of chalk dust formed. The girl let out a cough that turned quickly into laughter as she continued to do so, before erasing her work and took a chalk to redo it. Laughter echoed through the empty halls.

The girl soon took her exploration into the bathroom where she looked at the stalls that were covered in writing, she started to read them before going into the next stall. After that, she then took to another classroom where she was met with a computer chair, she sat in it and was a bit taken back for it moved slightly backwards and spun a little, she spun herself around just before looking down to find wheels, taking this discovering she takes the chair and pushes herself down the halls spinning and wheeling before coming to a stop as dizziness over came her, but that didn't seem to stop her from take one last spin laughing in pure joy.

After that she had found herself in the library and was in awe of how large the library was. As it was nothing she had ever seen before, she had gone to library in the past, but never one of this grand scale, let alone seen so many books. She looked through the books, Hemingway, Voltaire, Shakespeare, Dickens, Shelly, Poe, along with numerous of books from other great authors who had no idea that their works were going to make such an impact let alone continued to be read through the years and many more to come.

The girl had found herself on the upper level where she took a book off a shelf and noticed writing on it. She took another book and saw more writing. Soon she had cleared the shelf here she had found letters, initials. She was a bit taken back by this, for they were written in marker and that there were many. She then went up to another shelf where she began to clear it also finding letters there, she soon stopped went she found the letters S.M, A.A, D.H, S.S, L.M, M.T and K.N.

The girl's fingers traced the S.M letters numerous times, until she soon realized what they meant. As she had mentioned earlier, that the passing of the torch was rite of passage, that these initials were none other than just that, those that were here before, before they had started a new chapter, but had left their marks to show who they once were and that were once there and the mark the end of that story.

The girl had been robbed of this, robbed of the chance to have the experience that they have had, robbed of a chance to have the opportunity to live, robbed of leaving a mark, a mark to the end of a chapter, the right to end a story so that a new one can begin. This girl had never gotten that chance, and for that it bugged her for she had missed out on this, although not by choice, and yet it still didn't help to drown the feeling of exclusion.

The girl was walking through the court yard of the school, she had then stopped when she saw two vending machines. She walked up to them and saw one that carried snacks. The girl had not eaten, yet she was not hungry, perhaps it was her body was recuperating, for that could be why she was disconnected from her body or it could be because of the constant running and moving that could've played tribute to this. Having no money, the girl could only do what she had done countless of times to survive. She pushed on the machine and saw that it was wobbly, she looked down at its support system and saw that it was not strong. She started to push it, but it proved to be a little bit heavier than anticipated. She pulled herself back before pushing it again this time using all of her weight to do so, only it didn't seem to help.

With anyone else, they would have taken this as a sign to back away, but not for this girl. She started to go back a little ways cross the court yard before going into a full sprint and kicking the vending machine which caused it to move a few inches, seeing that it was working, she did again this time a little father and hard over and over again, after the fifth hit, the vending machine had fallen to the ground, the glass shattering.

The girl ran to the machine and started to grab everything she could get her hands on. She started with a bag of mini Oreos, she sniffed them before putting some in her mouth, she chews it until the taste of chalk and powder came she spat it out, and wiped her mouth before going for a bag of potato chips, she took a handful and stuffed it into her mouth, where the taste was completely off. She then took a reeses peanut butter cups, she shoved on in her mouth, only to spit it into her hand and throw it. She started to gag and clear her throat to try to get the taste out of her mouth. She looked to the other machine which held beverages, she pushed on it only to find that it was in stable condition.

She groaned in frustration as it proved to be unsuccessful. She looked around for something even went as for as breaking into a janitor's closet using a glass shard to pick the lock, where she had found a crowbar.

She shoved the crowbar into a crevasse of the machine and started to use her weight to try to open it, then all of a sudden she started to feel something coming up from behind her, where in one swift movement she took the crowbar and swung it from behind.

"Whoa." A voice exclaimed.

It was Scott who had nearly taken a hit from the maiden, who was ready to fight him.

"I'm sorry." He quickly said trying to keep the peace.

"You shouldn't have snuck up on me like that." She snarled.

"I wasn't trying to."

The girl went back to trying to open the machine, before two hands covered hers, firm, but softly they stopped her. The girl turned to him and before taking the crowbar and stepped aside. Scott didn't need for her to explain to him anything, judging by the broken snack machine was all he need to know what she was trying to do, with on pry of the lock, he opened the door.

The girl grabbed what ever drinks she could fit in her hand, before grabbing whatever snake she could to, before going a few feet from there. She sat down and started to pig out on Doritos, until she stopped and her lips tightened as if she was choking. Scott started to panic as he didn't what to do.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

The girl turned to the side and spat it out. She quickly grabbed water and started to frantically drink it before she stopped. With water still in her mouth, her face showed disgust, Scott watched closely, as she struggled to swallow.

"You're water tastes off." She stated.

She still another swig, but shook her head, she gave the bottle to Scott before going off to the bushes and spat it out. Scott took a sip of the water, he didn't taste what the girl tasted, it just stated like just simple water to him. The girl took her spot next to Scott.

Scott examined her from the side. She still had some dirt and soot on her face.

"Its impolite to stare." She pointed out.

"Sorry, I just-"

"Want to know I'm real, that I'm not a fantasy, that I am here."

"Yes." Scott said knowing the girl hit the nail on her head.

"You're friends are worried about you."

"I know."

"And yet you are worried about me, why is that?"

"I just want to make sure you're safe."

"If you're looking for redemption, I suggest you find a new way, because I am not Alec."

"I know."

"So do not make me your one true hope to redeem yourself for what happened to him or to change it. If redemption is what you seek, then I suggest you find a Father to do so, they will help you there."

"I know I can't change what happened to him, but that doesn't mean I want it to happen again."

"None of us want history to repeat itself, but that's not up to us, we can try, but reality is we don't have the final say."

Scott put his hand out to the girl's face, the girl slightly put her head back.

"It's okay." Scott cooed.

Scott rubbed some of the dirt off her cheek. The girl titled her head to the side a bit confused by Scott's kindness.

"I'm sorry." He said.

"For what?"

"I failed, just like I've done countless of times. I don't know why, or what I'm doing wrong, I just keep letting people down, nothing is working, its just a constant repeat of everything over and over again and I can't do anything about it. I've tried everything."

"Except accept it. Failure is part of life, that's how you learn, that's how you live. Live to learn, learn to live."

"Its not that easy."

"Its not, but is everything else in life, if life was that easy, then we would be taking it for granted, we wouldn't learn the lessons we need to learn, everything would just be handed to us, not being grateful or enjoying it. I'm all for being given answer, but the thing of it is if that was the case no one would put the work to into it."

"But failure is not an option."

"And that my dear friend is one of your biggest mistakes, you are letting that cloud your judgment, you are too invested in the negative, not accepting failure, defeat. We need to make mistakes, we need to lose wars we need to fail and not be afraid of them, if we kept being afraid of them, we would miss out on what we need to go through what we need to learn. Damn the consequences that's how we learn. Defeat and victory, Failure and success are all part of the big picture, that is balance, one can not live out the other. You can not have pleasure without pain, you need both."

"But he died because of me."

"No, he didn't. He died because it was his time to go, I understand it is so easy to blame yourself for his death, but Death always wins no matter what, for she has the right to choose how the game ends. I know is sounds odd, but believe me when I say, he knew what he was getting himself into, maybe not the outcome, but yet even though Death was a possibility, he still took that risk. Whatever happened back then was not your fault. So I have, but one thing to say. STOP IT!"

This seemed to have woken Scott up.

"Stop being invested in the past, I get it hurts, I know, but you can't live in the past, don't forget the past, look to the passed, but only to learn from it. If you don't, it's going to kill you. Nothing is going to change it, it's not going to bring him back. It was his time to go, as tragic as it was, it was his time. Let it go. Make peace with that. Take what you've been through, what you've learned, what you've done, what you've seen and use it. This is going to rip you apart until you are dead if you continue to encourage it. I get it, its hard, you're still going though it, grieve how ever long you need to, but you have a job to do. I'm not telling you to get over it, but you need to keep going."

It was hard for him to keep going, how could he, I felt that it was selfish to keep going and act like it never happened, even though the girl never said anything about that. This was the elephant in the room that didn't want to leave, the constant nagging feeling of not being able to stop it.

"A wise man once told me if you're going through hell keep going because you might make it out before the Devil even knows your there, and trust me I've been through it many times, I'm still going through it now. I have had people come in and out of my life many times I have seen people taken from me left and right, and it has taken be years to accept that. Why? Because it isn't going to change anything, it doesn't change my situation it doesn't change the story, or history itself. All we can do is live and learn from it."

"But I'm the alpha."

"Yes you are, but that is another mistake you're making. You are the alpha, but you can't save everyone, you can't protect everyone. You're not superman, even superman knows he can't save everyone. I understand that's what you tried to do, but that's not your job. Yes you can save people here and there, but not everyone. You need to understand and accept that even you, Scott McCall has limits."

Scott put his head down, he knew it was true, though he wished it wasn't.

"I just wanted to save your soul."

"And that is your third mistake. That's not your job. Saving souls is not our job, it is not anyone's job, but one. The once Earthly King who now resides from Heaven. You don't need to be religious to know my meaning."

Scott nodded now understanding the full picture.

"I saw you initials on the bookshelf." The girl exclaimed.

"The senior scribe." Scott noted.

"You are lucky, Scott. You've done things where I could only watch from afar. You have a life I wish I could have. You've had opportunities I can only dream of having. Unlike you I have been excluded from that, although not by choice. Don't be like me, you have a choice on that I would do anything to have, don't exclude yourself from life. Its hard, its ugly, it not fair, but that's just it its life. You at what you've done, what you've accomplished, you should be very proud."

"What do I do?"

"Live. Learn. Make mistakes. Take the heat. Keep going."

"I got to give it up don't I? Quit being the Alpha, right?"

"No." the girl said in a near snare.

Scott looked up at her.

"Be the alpha, but most of all be you." She girl placed her hand on his chest letting him know what he was the answer to his problems his questions, his life. "I know it's hard to believe, but I know what you're going through and the only advice that I can give you is be you. I've learn to be my own hero, I've learned to fight for me, to fight for myself. Maybe it's time for you to do the same. Yes, it's selfish, but sometimes you have to be in life especially in this life. Don't forget your friend most of all. Yes that won't be there forever, one day all that will be left will be you, but don't worry. Right now its time for you to fight for you, be your own alpha, be your own hero."

"My own anchor." Scott said the same words that his mother told him when he was losing control because of what his dad tried to do to Sheriff, those three words we said to him when he didn't have Allison anymore.

"Exactly. Be your own anchor, hero, alpha, be Scott McCall, but most of all you need to be you. Not what they need, not what the people want you to be, not what they expect you to be. Be you. Do this and maybe then you will find peace, maybe you can start being that Alpha you know you are, start becoming the man you are meant to be. Start being Scott McCall start being you."

She was right, what Scott need to be was himself. Everything she said was true, he couldn't keep living in the past, now he had to start being him, start being the Scott McCall he always has been. Right now he needed to fight for himself, but most all he had a job to do. Protect and defend. Protect the people he loved, defend his home, but most of all protect and defend the beautiful woman who plagued his dreams. He couldn't save Alec from his fate, and knew fully well you can't fight, but that doesn't mean he couldn't try. He had a job to do, and that job was the girl.

He gets up to his feet, with his head held up high, the highest it's even been in six months. He strides across the court yard with a warrior's confidence. With the fire reignited in his heart and his new found peace, he reaches the middle of courtyard. The girl looks on confused by this sudden change of demeanor, yet was also drawn by it.

Scott closed his eyes and took a couple of deep breaths before opening his eyes where the shined red. The girl titled her head to the side unsure what she was about to witness. Scott let out an alpha roar, which echoed through out the area. It shut down the bickering as Derek turned into the direction where the roar was coming from.

The girl laughed in delight, "Now there's the alpha I knew you were Scott McCall!"

For the first time in six months Scott could breathe easily all the weight in that moment lifted. All it took were the words from a mere stranger to show him the way. He roared one more, more loudly more confident.

Everyone ran onto the court yard with the girl cheering.

"You did it! You did it!" The girl shouted with excitement.

She ran into Scotts arms, who caught her with ease. Derek looked up, with the feeling of jealously, but how could he be jealous he had no right to be. Scott placed the girl down. The girl turned to his friends.

"Did you see that, he did it, he really did." The girl smiled from ear to ear.

"That was awesome, I'm not going to lie." Ste said.

"Yep." Stiles agreed.

"So what now?" Liam asked.

Before one could answer, a loud obnoxious roar came that nearly brought them down to their knees, rattling the very foundation of the school stood on. Once it stopped, everyone looked at each other unsure what they had hear, or where it came from.

"What in the hell was that?" Malia asked.

"That was loud." Stiles said stating the obvious.

"Either it was that loud or it's that close." Mason added.

Scott turned to the girl who was uncovering her ears she walked up to his side. They exchanged looks, to where the girl nodded. She took a couple of steps back before standing next to Derek. Scott let out another roar, letting the beast know where he was.

Everyone looked at each other not knowing what to expect. An like that, the same loud roar happened again this time a lot closer than the last, once it ended, everyone started to panic. The girl feel on her knees and groaned in pain. Derek saw this and quickly went to aid, before he could get a word out, the girl went forward and threw up black slime, that coated the pavement.

Some made noises of disgust, while others were concerned. Scott turned to this and rushed to the girl. Derek took out and handkerchief and wiped the girl's face.

"What's wrong?" Scott asked.

"Don't look at me." The girl said turned the other way.

She took the handkerchief away and started to wipe her face. She then looked at the once white handkerchief that was now soiled with black spots.

"I shall cherish this kind gesture." The girl said.

Derek looked at her, then turned to the vomit.

"We need to get out of here." He said helping the girl up to her feet and started to lead the way, "let's go."

They reached the parking lot, Derek held the girl close to his side, until she broke away from him and stopped. Lydia was about to get into Ste's car when she stopped and turned to see this.

"Scott." She said.

Scott turned to see this and quickly hurried to them with Stiles following suit.

"What's wrong?" Derek asked.

The girl didn't speak, she kept looking around frantically panicked, she took a few steps back before Derek took a hold of her. He saw that she had turned white as ghost as fear over came her.

"What's going on?" Stiles asked.

Cora and Isaac joined in.

"What is it now?" Cora asked.

"Its not going to let us leave." She finally said.

Before any of them, could say anything, the beast appeared out of nowhere, landing in front of them divided them. The five started to take flight.

"Lydia go, everyone one go!" Scott shouted.

Some were protesting until the beast started to go after them too.

As they drove off, the girl had split form the roof and found herself back into the court yard. Out in the open and in an unfamiliar area she started to quicken her pace, until a low growl cam from the bushes. She turned to the brush and saw a silhouette of a werewolf standing there growling at her.

Before she could react, Scott grabbed the girl and they ducked down to the ground when the beast leaped over them. They took this opportunity and ran into the school. The doors slammed shut as they locked it, the creature rammed it, leaving dents on it.

"That's going to hold it for long. Five against one, one big one, not good odds" Isaac pointed out.

"Forget the odds, we need a way out." Derek said.

"Like how, you've seen how quick that thing is?"

"We'll find a way."

Stiles noticed that Scott at the end of the hall with the girl before they disappeared around the corner.

"Scott?" he called.

He round the corner and saw them go into the boy locker room. Stiles went into the locker room and heard the shower go off. He saw the girl walk out from the showers before going up to her. She pointed to the showers as he went in and found Scott under the spray, Scott was pressed up against the wall trying not to shift, but failed. Stiles leaned in not knowing if Scott was in control or not, he just wanted to make sure his best friend was okay.

"Something's wrong." Scott exclaimed.

The girl started to feel something was very very wrong. She had gone back into the library opening the drawers of front desk before finding a bag of plastic cups, she took one and filled it up with water. She then put a staple into the cup, and in doing so, the staple began to spin like crazy.

"Someone has been meddling." She stated.

She looked to the huge glass window, before going up the steps where she was met with a full moon that held an eerie green glow.

The glow showed that it was none other than what others would call a zombie moon. A moon that was said to be an accursed moon and those who have seen it would bare witness to damnation.

"Someone did something, someone meddle in something, that's why all of this is like this. Someone meddled."

She looked down to her hand and noticed that something was quite off, in a different circumstance she too would have been affect by this in a far worse way, but saw that he nails were normal and not long and jagged like they would be. Off to her right, she heard a low growl coming from the darkness and from out from the darkness and into the light came Derek who was fully shifted. Growling and snarling like a mad dog off the leash the girl stared eerily calm as if this was nothing new to her.

"I'm like that too if I too was affect by the full moon." The girl confessed.

The girl stood her ground as it seemed Derek was too far gone.

"If you're going to kill, I suggest you do it quickly." She sneered clearly unafraid.

And with that Derek seemed to have immediately snapped out of it, nearly losing his footing as he jerks backwards because—

Oh god, she thought he was going to kill her.

"Someone meddled, someone did something and now the land is trying to correct itself." She insisted.

Without warning, the room began to shake violently like an eathquack had come. Bookshelves fell to the ground. The girl had lost her balance and fell over the railing. Derek let out a snarl of protest. It wasn't just the library that was going theouhg this it was the whole school. The girl fought to get up to her feet, and hang on to the frialing and she struggled to get up the steps and back to the floor that she was.

Once she was successful in doing so, the shakes went dead. The two tried to catch their beath as they looked to each other.

"Are you okay?" she asked Derek.

He nodded.

Seeing that he was back, the girl turned to the door of the library. All of a sudden without warning the widnow explosded, glass shattering into a miliion pieces. With Derek's unnatural speed he used his body shield the girl.

The glass shattereing echoed throughout the building. Scott heard this and looked to Stiles concerned as no one knew what had happened.

Back the library, the girl turned to her hero who was out of it, in a daze. She looked to his back which was covered in glass shared peturding from out of it. With Derek limp and in shock, the girl looked up at the full moon knowing that the reason behind it was answer to all of this.

"This is going to be a long night." She bellowed.
