INT. LYDIA'S CAR

"Hoosiers is not only the best basketball movie ever. It is the best sports movie ever made."

"No," Lydia deadpanned.

"It's got Gene Hackman and Dennis Hopper."

"No."

"Lydia, I swear to God you're gonna like it."

"No."

"I am not watching The Notebook again."

INT. VIDEO RENTAL STORE

"Can somebody help me find The Notebook?" Jackson asked. "Hello? Is anybody working here? You gotta be kidding me."

Maggir walked around a row of videos. "Lydia's making you watch it, again?"

"Yeah. What are you looking for?"

"Caleb wants to watch Hocus Pocus and made me get it."

"Well, maybe we can team up and find them both."

"Yeah. Hey, I haven't seen the clerk yet. Have you?"

Maggie walked between the shelves of movies and noticed spots of blood. She walked around cautiously, ready to use her magic if she needed to.

The teens came upon the clerk lying on the ground, dead, covered in blood.

"Oh, God," Maggie mumbled. "We gotta-"

She stopped, hearing something, and instantly became more alert than she already was.

Jackson backed into a ladder, which hit something, and the lights shut off.

Quiet growls sounded throughout the silent store. Jackson's eyes widened as he saw a beastly figure with glowing red eyes. Maggie pushed him behind her, ready to strike the beast.

Before she could do anything, Jackson grabbed her arm and yanked her into an aisle of movies.

The shelves began falling and one of the shelves fell onto Maggie and a sharp end cut her waist near her right hip, making a semi-deep incision.

Jackson frowned, saw blood, and whispered, "Are you okay?"

Maggie shook her head and clumsily tried to make a tourniquet.

Jackson's lower half was trapped. He motioned for Maggie to get behind him and she did so, spreading the crimson liquid across the floor. He hastily wrapped her jacket around her.

The Alpha appeared and growled at them. It placed a claw on the back of Jackson's neck and Jackson began breathing heavily. The Alpha ran off through a window, shattering the glass.

Maggie swallowed heavily, holding a hand to her wound, trying not to pass out. She tried focusing on things that made her happy, which was a lot more difficult than she thought, considering the pain. Jackson tightened Maggie's jacket around her wound.

Sirens blared and grew louder and louder. Officers holding guns appeared and began lifting the shelves. A deputy pulled Maggie out and she let out a quiet groan of pain.

She was placed on a gurney in an ambulance.

Caleb ran up to his sister. "Hey, there you- Maggie? Hey, stay with me."

"I didn't get the movie," Maggie mumbled.

"I don't care about that. I'm more concerned about you."

INT. CAR

"Mm," Sheriff Stilinski hummed, looking into a bag. "Did they forget my curly fries?"

"You're not supposed to eat fries, especially the curly ones."
