NEVER FORGET YOU
'I watched you as you left but I can never seem to let you go'

"Hey, the Deputy searched the car. No slugs, no exit hole" Stiles said "And the address Alex gave my dad, it's an abandoned house. Come on!" Stiles whined.

"Missing parents, suspicious guy on horseback, magic bullet. Who's comin' with?" He cheered
"Not intrigued nor interested, boo" I give him a small smile.

"Yeah, not interested" Lydia spoke "Me and Rori are gonna study tonight" Malia said "well, she'll help me study" Malia added and I smiled at her, she smiled back.

"I cannot miss any more classes" Scott said "Scott. Scott" Stiles called "I missed 38 last semester. And Lydia's mom is the only reason I'm still in school. I can go after school" Scott spoke.

"You know what? Forget it. I'll take Liam" Stiles said as he turned to the side to see Liam making out with Hayden.

He sighed "Yeah, I'm not taking Liam" He said

"Hey, can I get a candid?" A boy came up with a photographer "Yeah, sure" I say and Stles sits between me and Scott.

"Okay, fine. If you can explain to me why this is blue, I'll let it go" Stiles said holding a piece of glass "Everyone smile" the boy said and the camera clicked.

"It was one of the guys Scott saw in Alex's memory" Stiles said "The guy who took his parents?" I ask "No, no, no. They weren't just taken. They were, they were made to disappear. That's why there's no furniture, that's why they weren't in any of the photos" He said.

"They were erased" I muttered "Okay, what, what does your super intuition say this is?" Stiles asked "That you don't have to figure it all out right this second" I say.

"But this kid. This kid's got no one. You know, and... There's a reason why. There's gotta be" Stiles said. Thunder rambled.

"Killer on the road
Give this man a ride, sweet family will die.
Killer on the road"

"Riders on the Storm?" I raised a brow "What?" He asked "That's the song, Riders on the Storm? That's it" I say.

"What's it?" He asked "The Ghost Riders. The Wild Hunt. They come by storm, riding horses. And they take people!" I exclaimed "Baby, you're so smart, I could kiss you right now!" He cheered.

"Please do" I say and he kissed me then ran off.

"Got your text. You said you needed my help?" I say as I run into the classroom to see Lydia sitting at the desk "Oh, God. That kind of help" I add.

"Something terrible is going to happen" She said "Okay, what is it?" I ask walking up closer to her "I don't know. That's why I need your help." She said.

After sitting in a classroom and not figuring anything out I said "Honey, I gotta go find Stiles" I say "What is Stiles?" Lydia asked "What-"

"Stiles!" I call as we run into each other outside the school. "Aurora? You know me" he said I nodded vigorously "Oh, thank God. You know me" he sighed and hugged me.

"I know you. But I think everybody else is forgetting" I spoke as I pulled away. "Hey, do you see him?" Stiles looked the other way "See what?" I looked around "The guy on the horse" He breathed out.

"Stiles, if you can see them, they're gonna..." I trailed off "No, I know, I know. Okay. They're comin' for me. So you have to get away from me right now, okay?" He exclaimed "I'm not leaving you!" I say.

"All right, come on, come on!" He grabbed my arm and we ran the other way. He stopped then said pointing to the other way "This way, this way, come on!"

"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!" He stopped again and went another way. Okay, this way. Keep going"

"Where are they?" I ask "They're everywhere" Stiles freaked out "we need to go!" He exclaimed as we ran to his jeep "Come on, come on, come on! Aurora, don't look at them, okay? Don't try to scream. They'll take you, too. Just do not look at them" Stiles exclaimed as we got into his jeep. "I won't, I won't!"

"There's no time. Ar, I'm going to be erased, okay? Just like Alex. You're gonna forget me" He said "I won't. No, I won't. I won't" I shake my head.

"Ar, you will. Just try to find some way to remember me, okay? Remember how you were the first girl I ever danced with? Or how I had a crush on you freshman year. Sophomore year? Junior year? Remember how you saved my life?" He said.

"You saved my life too" I say "Just remember... Remember I love you" Stiles said.

"no.." I whispered before he disappeared.

Remember... Remember... Remember...

next day

I walked into school. A lot people, everyone chattering and talking, walking down the hallways. I kind of just stood there frozen.

"Hey, You okay?" Scott asked as he and Malia walked up to me snapping me out of my daze. "I have this feeling that I was supposed to do something" I mumble

"Do what?" Malia asked.

"I can't remember" I say.
