True anchors

31||oak creek 6B

"We should get going. The suns going down and being in a place like that at dark. Just not the best idea." Mason addressed the group.
"Yeah I'll message you the directions." Theo said. All of the pack left apart from Theo Bea Liam and Harlow. Deaton got back to what he was doing before they arrived.

"Stay safe." Liam said with a small smile.
"You too." Theo responded with the same smile. They bother embraced in a tight hug. Harlow noticed and got up to join the hug.
"Why we hugging?" Harlow asked after being picked up by Theo. The boys both laughed.
"I'm going somewhere. I'll be back dont worry. And when I am we can watch lion king again." Harlow grew a massive smile on her face.

Harlow quickly went back to reading her book on the chair. Liam and Theo embraced again.
"Don't get hurt."
"No promises." They stayed silent for a while.
"I love you." Liam whispered.
"I love you too." Theo replied in the same way.

They pulled a part and Theo smiled again before grabbing his bag and motioning Bea to follow him. They both got in his truck and set on their way to oak creek. They had been there and extra five minutes from when the rest of the pack had left. Bea was curious about the interaction but didn't want to say anything about it.

"You can ask questions by the way. About anything." Theo said to her not taking his eyes off the road.
"I feel like you already know my question." Bea responded looking over to the boy.
"Yep. Well if you watched the interview then you know Liam and I are true anchors. That's basically the equivalent to soulmates I guess."

"Who's Harlow to you guys? I guess everyone has just assumed she's someone's sister or something." Theo smiled at this and shook his head.
"No. Harlow came to the sheriffs station after my sister was hunting her. That's when Tara was possessed she's not anymore. Liam and I were there and Tara had showed me a vision. So we kept her safe. Turns out we needed her more than we thought. Liam and I looked after her and to keep her safe we got rotating timetables that's why only one of us is in. Her parents were killed. So I guess we unofficially adopted her?"

"So two guys who are supernatural high school kids, have a child? And I'm pretty sure that's not the most confusing thing about your lives. Right?" Theo laughed.
"You are correct. I used to be the bad guy. The really bad guy." Bea was confused and felt his guilt.

"What did you do. Surly it can't be as bad as other things others have done?"
"No I- I was the worst in different ways. I broke the pack from the inside. Turned Liam against Scott. Tried to get him to kill his alpha on a super moon. And when Liam failed...I killed Scott myself. I broke Scott and stiles friendship. I broke stiles and Malias relationship. I gained their trust just to break it and have my own pack. And then I went to hell, had a nice reunion with Tara. Where she ripped my heart out over and over again."

"Oh- my- god. Are you okay? You shouldn't of had to have gone through that." Theo was confused at what Bea had said.
"What do you mean? I just told you I manipulated the pack and killed the alpha."
"You clearly didn't do that of your own will. You don't seem like a guy that would do that."
"What guy do I seem like then?" Theo was curious as to what others thought of him.

"You seem like a guy or loves and laughs. Trusts and forgives. Friends and family are your number one. You care more than you let on. And I think hell changed you for the better. And Liam helped you adjust." Bea was planning to be a phsycology and sociology major. And she just understood Theo more than he ever could himself.

"How long have you two been together?"
"Since march 2nd. So only a few months. And harlows been with us since march 11th. It's been interesting."

They pulled up outside of oak creek not long after. The rest of the cars already parked and everyone waiting outside.
"Took you long enough." Mason put in sarcastiy.
"Liam and Harlow safe?" Harper asked. Theo nodded in return of the question his sister asked.

Just then Nolan started walking through the gates. the pack turned to look at him. after he walked through he just stopped. then he looked around and turned to the pack.
"hes been like this for the past few days. just going off somewhere and stopping what we were doing then freezing. like he zoned out or somthing. then coming back completely unawaer of what hes just done. somedaays are better than others." Gabe filled the pack in on what was going on before walking over to the banshee.

"Nol? you okay?" nolan slowly nodded before taking off again. the pack just followed on gaurd ready to fight anything. they walked into what apeared to be a courtyard. there was blood stains all around them. and a large one right in the center on the yard.
"this is where it happend." he whisperd. turing left and right. gethering all of the infomation he could.
"hes getting overwhelmed." Bea warned the pack. gabe moved closer to nolan.
"nol-" he was cut of by noln pointing and whispering.

"whats he saying?" mason and harper asked theo and alec at the same time.
"names. over there was isaac. there was argent. kira. nishko. void was behind there. scott was in the middle where nolan is stood. allison lying in his arms." just then nolan turned and walked a new direction and said somthing else.
"lydia and stiles were this way."

nolan walked into a tunnel. his eyes were cloded and he walked around like he knew this place better than his home. Gabe stayed close to nolan. making sure he wasnt going to walk into something or faint. they were half way through one of the tunnels when he stopped. he had no idea of his surroundings. there was a blood stain on the lower part on the left wall. and the stone had cracks on it. all facing away from one point.

Nolans eyes snapped open. he took a deep breath. then he screamed.
"ALLISON." right after he colapsed into gabes arms. The two were on the floor. Nolan completely unconscious. Gabe turned to look at the pack, anxiety painted on his face.
"Let's go. We can come back another day."  Theo said.

Everyone nodded. Gabe picked up the unconscious boy and carried him to their car and placed him in the back seat. Then closed the door.
"He's going to be okay. Isn't he?" Theo nodded with a smile and the younger boy.
"You'd think I'd be used to this by now." Gabe spoke with a small laugh in his voice.
"It's okay to be scared for someone you care about. Even if you know they are okay and safe. We are all scared for him, but you have a closer bond with him so it hits you harder. If you want we can go to Deaton just to check. Or you could take him home let him rest."

"I'm probably just going to take him home." Gabe nodded while speaking. Theo said his goodbyes and walked over to his truck where Bea was sat. He started the car and they made their way back into town.
"Is it okay if I come back to your house? Only for a bit it's just I don't have a key and my moms still at work." It was 14:50 school wasn't over just yet.
"Yeah that's fine."

The drive home was quiet compared to the one there. They got home after about 20 minutes. Theo unlocked the door to the house and walked in Bea following behind. Harlow came running from around the corner and Theo picked her up instantly.
"Hi dad." Theo walked into the living room where Liam sat on the sofa doing homework.

"Well how was your day?" Theo asked the young girl.
"Good! I read my new book. And I helped nana make some cookies." Theo smiled at the girl.
"So fun day?"
"Yeah!" The older boy put her down and she got back to whatever she was doing.

"You guys okay?" Liam asked the two who not long walked in the door.
"Yeah but we are going back another day. We had to cut it short." Liam nodded in understanding.
"Hi Bea."
"Hi Liam."

The three just sat and talked for a few hours till Bea needed to go home. Because it wasn't too dark she decided to walk home. It wasn't that far anyway.
"See you tomorrow Bea." She waved at the boys before walking out and heading home.

Theo decided he was going to check harlows room. Yesterday it smelt of happiness and grief life and death. He wanted to know if there were anymore clues as to what exactly was going on. They wanted to be more prepared this time. To get ahead of it.
