the other Argent (Teen Wolf x oc)

The Last Argent

Evelyn sat on the desk in the sheriff's station. Running her fingers along the cuff of the leather jacket it had become a habit the past few days she'd just started wearing it without even thinking with everything falling apart around her it was comforting. You're going to bite Stiles Lydia said. To get him through the rift Scott confirmed. It's the only way he said walking over to the table to look at the map. Just to clarify Peter said are you planning on biting everyone in the train station. With Stiles back he'll be able to help us figure out a plan Scott said. He's good at that Malia said. So the plan is to get Stiles to come up with a plan Peter said. You can shut up now Malia said. Malia look around we're the only ones left in Beacon Hills Peter said. If they take us Lydia will be the only one left to haunt this place. That's why I'm the only person that's going in Scott said. Liam and Hayden will stay here with Mason as long as someone is left in Beacon Hills the wild hunt can't move on. That's a ridiculous plan Lexie said from her spot on the floor. Seven year olds don't get input Evelyn said. I like your plan Scott I really do especially the part about turning Stiles but it can't work Peter said. How do you know Malia asked. Logic life experience Peter said. Evelyn sighed as he began to list everything wrong with the plan the worst part is the rational part of her agreed with him the fae part of her wouldn't let her leave the others. You got a better idea Liam asked. Yeah it's called run like hell Peter said. So leave in five he asked. You promised you'd help us Malia said stepping closer to Peter. She hid her emotions well but Evelyn could tell how much Peter's disregard for everyone but himself hurt her. We still need to find the rift she said. I didn't promise I'd help you commit suicide Peter said. If you can't help we can find it ourselves Scott called. Scott I admit that you have a flair for beating the odds but this you don't walk away from Peter said before turning and walking out the door. I'm going to regret this Evelyn muttered looking over at Malia she jumped off the table and followed Peter while she despised Peter she cared for Malia and she knew deep down so did Peter. Peter wait she shouted. What Peter snapped I'm not staying. No you're running Evelyn shouted and from more than just the ghost riders you're running from Malia from the chance that she could possibly hurt you the real you the tiny part of you that actually gives a shit. You don't know anything Peter growled. Really Evelyn asked Peter I'm the queen of running the one who always has an escape route out of any relationship nothing ever lasts long you think I don't recognize that in your eyes the same look I've had a million times the same look I had when I left Derek. I know what scares you Peter more than the ghost riders more than any supernatural creature or hunter it's her the thought of letting her in and then loosing her well you wanna know what that's called Peter it's called being a parent it's called caring and if you don't help her and she gets hurt you will never forgive yourself because if you walk away Peter you loose her and there's no going back and trust me the only thing worse than someone you love dying is them being alive and wanting nothing to do with you Evelyn stopped taking a deep breath. You still can't convince me Peter yelled maybe not but a couple years from now when you realize what you've done remember this conversation Evelyn said turning and going back inside satisfied that she had at least tried to get Peter to turn back.

We should get going Scott said meeting her at the door. Turning around to follow them out she froze midstep a queasy feeling in her stomach her father was in trouble Melissa was supposed to be with him. What is it Scott asked. Nothing Evelyn said knowing Scott wouldn't be able to focus if he knew his mother was in trouble I'll catch up with you later she said Liam keep a close eye on Lexie for me she called.

Evelyn headed for the bunker they had trapped the ghost rider in knowing it was where Argent and Melissa had been headed. Dad she called walking into the bunker. Evelyn froze when she saw a gun lying on the floor his gun she realized. She reached out to grab it cradling the weapon in her hands he was in trouble he would have never just left his weapon lying on the ground. Suddenly she felt an searing pain rip through her like something inside her was being torn apart Evelyn crumbled to the ground clutching the gun she passed out unable to take the pain as it just kept coming wave after wave. He was gone she thought as she slipped away her father was gone. And she was the last Argent.

Evelyn stumbled into the McCall house to see Scott Malia Lydia and Liam with Stlinski standing with his back to the door. Mommy Lexie shouted running over to Evelyn who still held Argent's gun clutched in her hand. Evelyn knelt down holding the small girl close she looked up at the others assembled. We're all that's left Scott said. Then we get them back Evelyn said we do whatever it takes no matter the cost. We remember Stiles Lydia said. Evelyn nodded tears sliding down her cheeks as she stood up. I'm alone she whispered. No Lydia said standing and walking over to the Argent girl you're not alone you still have us. Evelyn nodded leaning into Lydia's hug. The Banshee and the hunter had a unique bond one born of greif and chaos and strengthened by hope and family.
