"3x12: Lunar Eclipse"

Victoria got up real quickly, just as soon as Beatrice had come running with the news that Derek was awake and up.

Victoria tossed her clothes from yesterday into her old dirty clothes hamper, threw a hoodie and a pair of faded blue jeans on, as she was taking off down the stairs.

Victoria threw her arms around Derek with a cry and Victoria was refusing to let go of him and Derek was chuckling at the hug.

"Hey there, kiddo." He said to her as she buried her head into his shoulder as he looked down at her.

"I'm okay. I really am." Derek murmured and now, she was shaking her head with relief in her eyes. "We have to find Casey." He said and swiftly at the words, Victoria was nodding.

"I will find her before the eclipse tonight, Uncle D, you just need to rest up. Since I haven't heard anything from Kali, I'm just assuming that you aren't safe." She mumbled and Derek grabbed her hand quickly.

"At least you tried." He said and Victoria looked up at the sky and it was darkening quickly, as she felt the moon flooding her with strength and she looked around at them all, as they were all feeling it too. "Go. Tori, you have to find Casey and the others." He said with a growl. She nodded quickly and she grabbed her jacket before she was running out of the loft.

Casey looked over at Argent, who shook his head quickly. "If yours goes out, I have another one." She said and she winced. "Why the hell, did she take all of us?" She asked quietly.

"Extra security. She took you in order to keep Derek and his pack in line, he took the rest of us as sacrifices. But if Derek or any of his family makes one wrong move then I'm willing to bet that you'll die, for their defiance." Chris said and Casey nodded a little.

"They'll get us out." Casey said and they all looked at her. "I've got faith in them, just speaking from experience in the life of a hunter."

"We used to see you a lot in the Sheriff's station, even before you applied for a deputy's position. You always had unexplained injuries as it were and, yet, you always found a excuse." Sheriff Stilinski said and she nodded.

"Let's just say Sheriff, that if you hadn't caught my father on charges of arson and other stuff... Then you would have caught him on abuse charges, sooner or later." Casey said and Sheriff Stilinski nodded.

"How long?" He asked.

"Before you arrested him? Up until you eventually arrested him. Pretty much from the moment that I could talk back to him or my Mom." Casey admitted as a moment later, Chris cursed. "It's out?" She asked and Chris nodded.

A moment later, Casey had retrieved one as she pressed the emitter, as she was leaning back against the pillar. "I have a full battery on mine. Hopefully, one of them picks it up. Ideally, before we are all killed." She said softly.

Casey looked up suddenly as they could all hear it. Even louder than the storm, it was a lion's roar. "I know that voice." She said.

"Kit Douglas?" Argent asked.

"No. It was his and Laura's only daughter, Victoria Hale." Casey said and then suddenly, a shape barged in through the doors. "Tori!" She said as the young teenager raced down the creaky, old steps.
