"I'm pretty sure I knew her. Well, knew of her" Leila confesses, as Eli speeds down the roads of Beacon Hills, in Derek's car. The rain was hitting the windshield hard, thunder cracking above them.

"Huh?" Eli asks, not taking his eyes off of the road. "That woman. With the arrows. She was friends with my mom and Scott. Best friends. It's Allison Argent" Leila explains. "She died 15 years ago, before we were born. Or at least that's what everyone thought"

"She seemed pretty alive to me!" Eli exclaims.

"I've seen her in pictures. Eli, she's in my dreams" Leila tells him, and that part catches his attention. "Look, this might sound crazy, but I don't think these dreams are nothing. I think—I think they're predicting the future" she explains to him, and he glances over at her for a split second before his eyes are back on the road.

"That's not the only thing I need to tell you" she sighs before continuing. "In these dreams, I die in your arms. And that terrifies me"

"I'm not gonna let you die," he assures her. "What if you don't have a choice?" She asks him, as the car comes to a halt in front of Hale Automotive. Eli looks over at her, his blue eyes locking with her brown ones.

"I'm not gonna let you die."

Leila stands in the rain next to Eli, her body clad in his severely oversized hoodie, while her arms hug her body and she's looking around them. Eli attempts to put gas in the car but is unsuccessful, as all the pump is doing is making a clanging noise.

"Come on," Eli mutters.

Leila's heart starts beating erratically. She sees a car speeding towards them, and Eli looks over, noticing it too. "Eli..."

"Go! Go!" He yells, gently pushing her in front of him. Eli, losing balance on his twisted ankle, falls to the ground, as the car barrels into Derek's car and the gas pump. Leila helps him up, and they make their way toward the shop door.

"Eli, hurry!" Leila urges, as the figure gets out of the car. "Shit!" He mutters as the keys fall to the soaking wet ground.

Just as the teens get inside the building, the cars and gas pump blow up, sending flames in every direction, as Allison Argent walks toward the locked door.

—

The two best friends try to be as quiet as they can, as they weave their way through the automotive shop, hiding behind any car that they can. While Allison trails not too far behind them.

Eli and Leila sat across from each other, breathing heavy as they make eye contact. Eli nods, and Leila leans over slightly so she can see around the car, spotting Allison slowly walking toward where they were. She quickly leans back, her back clad against the car.

Eli looks around him, and his eyes lock on the car above them. He looks back down at Leila, her already knowing what he's thinking, she's shaking her head rapidly.

"Do you trust me?" He asks, and she nods. "With my life"

He grabs her hand and pulls himself and her to their feet, wincing when he accidentally puts pressure on his hurt ankle. He helps her into the lift before pulling himself up, the two being chest to chest as they lay there.

Leila's sure that Eli can hear her heart eating like crazy. Hell, he can probably feel it against his chest. Their eyes locked with one another. Leila swears she saw Eli's eyes flicker to her lips, but pushes that feeling away when she hears footsteps right below them.

Eli leans down, so he can see under the car and he watches Allison walk in the opposite direction. So he lowers himself to the ground and then helps Leila get down. Eli's eyes land on a stray wrench, laying on top of the tool box.

"You're not seriously thinking about going at her, are you?" Leila whispers, and Eli locks eyes with her. "Eli, she has arrows!" Leila whisper shouts. "I have to do something," he says, grabbing the wrench and pushing Leila behind him.

He ran toward her, attempting to hit her with the wrench but she ducked out of the way. She hits him with her bow, and almost knocks him to the ground. But he gets up and attempts to take another swing at her, before she hits him in the face with her bow and knocks him to the ground.

"Eli!"

Allison turns to the girl and smirks as she begins to stride toward her. "N—no. Leave her alone. Come back to me!" Eli calls out allison of course doesn't listen to him, but it was worth a shot on his part. Allison grabs the girl by her hair, tossing her over to Eli.

Eli catching her in his arms, just like in Leila's dream, except, they weren't at the stupid tree stump. They're in his dads garage. With an arrow pointed at both of their heads.

Before the arrow can be released, the garage door opens, and their saviors stand there in all of their glory. "Allison, stop!" Scott yells out, and Scott puts his arm up to block the arrow she shot at him.

"Come on. Go! Go!" Theo yells out, grabbing Eli's arm, as he was the closest. Eli's hand was intertwined with Leila's, as if his life depended on it. There was no way he was letting her go. They run through the rain, Scott trailing behind them, Allison behind him letting arrows soar through the air.

"I know you don't remember everything, but if you stop trying to kill us for half a second, I can help you remember!" Scott calls out, but to no avail. The four of them duck behind a car, Scott now in front of Eli. "We're gonna have to run. I need you to heal" Scott tells him.

"I can't. I can't heal, I can't transform, I can't do anything" Eli tells him. "Well, you're gonna learn right now" Scott says, confidently. "How?" Eli asks, his hand squeezing Leila's.

"Like this"

Scott's eyes were glowing their vibrant red, as he let out his loud roar. Leila slightly jumped at the loud noise, falling back into her dad we was behind her. Eli's eyes started to glow and amber yellow, and the cut on his cheek instantly healed, his ankle too.

"Come on," Theo says. All of them jumping to their feet and running toward the chain linked fence, that had just enough room for them to squeeze through and run into the woods.

Eli's hand still tightly clenched with Leila's.
