tw: blood and gore.

✨✨✨

Darkness surrounds the Raeken girl and the Hale boy. The place was unfamiliar, but what was familiar was the large tree stump to the side of them. Leila's heart rate picked up, which obviously didn't go unnoticed by Eli, or Scott and her father.

"This is the place from my dream." Leila mutters. Eli grabbed her hand again, tilting her head up so she was looking into his eyes. "Just stay with me. I'll protect you" he tells her, and she nods.

"Where are we?" Allison asks, looking around herself. "We're in his world." Theo says. "This is it. They're here. They're all trapped here" Eli confirms, his hand squeezing Leila's.

"So are we." Scott says.

Black smoke appeared as five Oni circled the group. Theo and Scott stepped closer to Allison. "I've killed Oni before" Allison says, confidently. "Let's kill a few more." Scott growls. Eli pulls Leila out of the way as they begin to fight the masked figures.

Leila stuffs her face in Eli's neck as the fighting progresses, her arms wrapped around his middle. "I don't wanna die tonight," she whispers, and Eli shakes his head. "Listen to me. You're not dying. No one is dying" Eli says, his hands on her cheeks staring into her eyes.

A different growl catches their attention, and Eli's head perks up. "Dad," he mutters.

"Go. I'll be okay. I promise" Leila assures him. "I'm not leaving you." He says, not breaking eye contact. "Fight Allison, come on" Jasmine mutters, working to get her hands untied from the pole behind her. "Jas," Liam whispers, catching the Banshee's attention.

"It's ripping. Keep going" he tells her. Her arms work faster, the burning sensation becoming too much but she didn't care. If this was going to work, she needed to get through to Allison. Allison needed to remember who she was.

Finally, her arms broke free and she jumped to her feet. Theo, distracted by his wife, let's his guard down, only to get knocked to the side by an Oni. Jasmine looks over at her scared daughter, in the arms of Eli Hale.

She turns her head to look at Derek, who's giving her a pointed look. "Don't lose her again." He says, and nods toward Allison. Jasmine took in a deep breath before screaming.

"Allison!"

The entire fight halted. Screams from a banshee coming from all directions, as Lydia stood just on the inside of the mountain ash barrier, screaming too. Everyone's hands cupped their ears, well those who's hands weren't still tied up behind them.

Everything seemed to be in slow motion, as Allison stood still in the center of everything. Tears running down her face, her mouth agape.

"I remember," Allison mutters. "I remember everything."

Suddenly, Leila is pulled to her feet, the hand of and Oni grilling her hair in its hand. The bandaged nogitsune holding Eli by the collar of his shirt, just across the way from her.

"Leila-"

"Don't step any closer, Theo Raeken!" The shrilling voice of the nogitsune called out. "We're not done yet. The game is mine"

"Take me. Let the others go" Scott calls out. Jasmine finds the arms of her husband, who immediately embraces her. "All the lives here belong to me" the nogitsune rasps. Leila gasps as the grip on her head gets tighter. Tears falling down her face. She's living her dream. It's all coming true.

"All you need is me" Scott argues. "Scott, don't do this" Allison's voice cracks. "Allison kills me. I die in her arms, the same way that she died in mine. That's the move that wins the game, isn't it?" Scott questions, more like pleads.

"Not precisely. But I've already won" the nogitsune taunts, running a clawed finger down Eli's face. "You lose! Until I'm off the board! And I'm still standing! And I'm still the alpha!" Scott yells. The grip on Leila's head gets tighter, and she hears the sound of metal scraping, before a sword comes into her vision.

Eli struggles against the nogitsune, but the grip on his collar goes to his hair and he winces in pain. Jasmine let out a strangled gasp, and Theo moved to step forward and is pushed back by a force he'd never felt before.

"Say, a sword to the stomach to save everyone she loves? All the other players go free"

Scott, realizing they had the divine move wrong, all along, shakes his head. "No. Take me. They're just kids" Scott pleads. "No," Jasmine gasps, realizing as well. The divine move wasn't for Scott to die in Allison's arms.

The divine move was for history to repeat itself. For the young, teenage girl to die in the arms of her first love. For Leila to die in Eli's arms. Leila realized her fate, and it's only fair that she accept it. She'd give anything so everyone else could live.

"Don't do this," Allison pleads, looking between the two teenagers. "Take me back. I wasn't meant to be alive" she pleads.

"It's okay," Leila speaks up, catching everyone's attention. "Leila, no" Eli pleads, his voice cracking. "Please don't make me watch my family die." Leila pleads to the wrapped figure.

"Lei-"

"Game is mine! Kill her!" The nogitsune yells. Leila let's put a sharp gasp as the sword goes through her stomach. Eli is thrown down the stairs, and rushes over to her, catching her before she can his the ground.

Jasmine hides her face in Theo's shoulder, letting out screams and sobs. Theo himself had tears in his eyes, everyone did.

"Leila," Eli breathes out, grabbing her hand, his other arm supporting her head. "Eli—I—I"

"Shh! Save your energy, okay? You're not dying tonight" he tells her, as the tears fall down his face. "It—its okay," Leila whispers, blood coming from her lips. "I've accepted it. Im where I need to be" she whispers, breathing heavy.

"No," he pleads.

"I'm in the arms of—of my first love. The person I'll always love. The only person I'll ever love" she admits to him, and a sob rakes through his body. "Leila, I love you. I love you, okay? Please—just hold on" Eli pleads. "Leila!" Eli yells, as her eyes fall closed. "Shit!" He yells, hugging her close to his body.

Eli is dragged to his feet, his screams and protests heard throughout the vicinity, and he's thrown back up the stairs in front of his father. "Tell me, Scott McCall, what is the sound of a wolf who is ready to die?" The nogitsune taunts, as the Oni surround Scott and Allison.

"I'd tell you, but I'm not ready to die"

Note from the author 💕

It seems all over the place now, but I promise I have a plan for this. Just bear with me.

Let me know if you can spot the season 3B parallel...does history actually repeat itself?

Let me know what you think!!
