Erased ☞︎ Teen Wolf [6]

Trigger Happy & Sage

Chapter: Five

Zara was walking into the loft when she dropped the leather jacket on the couch and quickly grabbed for her phone. She instantly searched for Sage's contact and paced the room as she waited for her cousin to pick up the phone.

After three rings she finally answered.

"Hey cousin, long time no talk." She says cheerily through the phone, there's some shuffling in the back.

"You busy? I'm hearing alot of moving."

"Oh, I'm just working on some spells with my herbs. You know how us expression witches are." She trails off.. "What's up?"

Zara let's out a breath, "I need your help."

Sage pauses, "It sounds serious, should I be concerned?"

Zara bites her lip, "Very."

Sage sighs, "This is what I get for living in the middle of the fucking woods, I never know what the fuck is going on. Alright, I'm sitting down, spill."

Zara goes to sit down on the couch as she holds her phone to her ear, "Okay, so do you know about the myths of something called Ghost Riders?"

"Myths? No sweetheart, they aren't myths. Especially not in Beacon Hills, the county known for being a Beacon to the supernatural. Ghost Riders are as real as you and me, Zay."

Zara smirked at the sound of the nickname that Sage had given her years ago, "So I know they're not a myth because they're well... taking people. Erasing them from existence, just wiping them out."

"Shit, I knew I felt something horrible was gonna happen. You know how I get those feelings.." she chuckles, "Back when we used to think I was just psychic. Anyway, have they taken anyone that you know?" She asked

Zara gulps, "Two people, actually."

"Okay, so Ghost Riders wipe people from our plain of reality.. but.. they can't completely erase them. There has to be something left behind. Like a—"

"A relic."

"Yes! A relic. Do you.. have one?" She asked

"Yes. I uh.. I found a leather jacket that belongs to the missing person. Do you think you could tell me if he's.. you know.." she tails off letting out a shaky breath.

"Alive? I'm sure he is, but I can come over and check for you, Zay." She says with a trace of empathy dripping from her words.

"It's more than just him.. it's.. you know the friends I told you I have now?"

"Yes, the pack with Werewolves, a Werecoyote, and two banshees right?" She asked

"That's them, well.. um.. remember I told you there's two people. They're both in the pack. I told my friends you can help us and our True Alpha Scott said that If I trust you then he trusts you. We need your help but... I don't wanna drag you into this because there's a huge chance this could put you in danger." Zara worries her bottom lip with her teeth as she waits for Sage's response.

There's hesitation, and then she's speaking again, "Honestly, Zay? I think it's time I get out of the woods. I only did this to hide myself from my parents but they don't even live in Beacon Hills anymore, I hid myself with a protection spell but after two years I think I just got comfortable. This could very well put me in danger... but I think I need a little danger in my life to be honest." She pauses, "I'm in, you can count on me."
