Sometimes Sky feels a little bit guilty about considering such a massacre to be the best thing that's happened to her in the last five years. Okay, she doesn't really. She knows she should feel guilty about it, because some psycho teenager going on a rampage through a precinct and killing the majority of the night shift is actually the kind of tragedy that Sky has nightmares about happening at her dad's department in Lakeport.

But it's not her dad's department, not anymore, because when Matt Dahler decimated the Beacon Hills Police Department he also shot the sheriff (but he did not shoot the deputy) (but actually, he didn't shoot any of the deputies, which is bullet point number one on Skys' List of Reasons Why Matt Dahler Definitely Had an Accomplice, Dad These Things Are Important). Anyway, Matt Dahler shot the Beacon Hills Sheriff, and the surviving members of the force had elected to remain on active duty to try and make up for their losses, which meant they needed to import a new acting sheriff until the next election.

So yes, Sky knows she should feel so, so guilty about being grateful for what happened, but she really doesn't. How can she? Her dad's been promoted, which means a raise, and more forgiving hours, and less of a chance of him getting brutally slaughtered on the job. Her dad's been made Acting Sheriff of Beacon Hills, and Beacon Hills is an hour drive from their house in Lakeport, and that means they get to move. Move out of the house her mother died in, move out of the town that still levels lingering sympathetic stares on the Stilinskis, so recently marked by their own, much smaller (but no less devastating) massacre. Move out of the high school Sky barely exists in, ghosting through the halls and interacting with her peers only long enough to satisfy the participation requirements that keep her grades perfect.

But that's all over, because they're leaving, moving, off to Beacon Hills, where there's a Sheriff badge and a new house and a new school.

And where there's werewolves.

Oh yeah, Sky is so ready for this
