Beautiful Monsters(Discontinued until further notice)

Part 23

Alex's once dark slumber had come to a halt as she tried to sit up, Derek's roar echoeing in her mind. 

There was a problem... she was tied to her bed with metal cuffs. 

"Morning gorgeous," she heard someone mutter. 

She ignored it and tried to get out of the metal cuffs. A dark chuckle erupted, sending shiveres down her spine. "Plans didn't go much as planned, huh? Well, Lydia's not dead- Bummer. Boyd was third on the list, right after Derek. Guess I'll have to bump her down to second or maybe Derek is still second?" The familiar electric light blue veined person spoke. 

"No..." Alex trailed off. 

"Oh yes, I'll trap you in here. Not like this, you'll get out way too easily. I prefer something more secure," her alter ego stated and bent down to the floor. A rug appeared, one which was quickly ripped away to reveal the symbol, the one that haunted her. 

"NO!" Alex yelled, jumping up and breaking the cuffs only for a different set to grab her and pull her to her knees. "You can't fight me, I am power. I am 'The Distruction'! Don't you remember?" Alex's head was harshly lifted to look into her own shining electric blue eyes, "When in doubt the evil will sprout. For there the surface is pain, evil as all yet good had nothing to gain." 

"NO! No, no, no!" Alex screamed until she sat up in the bed she was given in the Alpha's apartment. 

Ethan and Aiden were next to her in a second, Kali, Scott and Deucalion joining after a minute or two. 

"I thought you said she doesn't dream?" Kali asked Deucalion. 

"You forget the eclipse, Talia said the eclipse will drain her in ways unimagineable." Deucalion said then motioned for the girl to stand up and follow him. 

"We have an emmisary to catch," he explained to her. 

~~~ 

Kali and the twins were chasing Ms. Morrell whilst Deucalion was showing Scott and Alex the unnatural fireflies. 

She turned to him and said: "Why are you trying to use old memories to keep me close? Because you and I both know that I won't be here any longer than I want too."

"I remember sitting with you after your mother died, the only thing that made you smile-really smile- was watching the stars and fireflies." he told her, leaving Scott to stand awkwardly at the back. 

"Scott, what about him? He won't kill, he's not like us.... He's not a monster." She asked. 

"I think you underestimate what people would do for those they love, or have you forgotten why you have that mark on your wrist?" he asked her, making her turn away and remain silent. 

Morell was chased into a clearing, making everyone gather there where she had a ring of mountain ash around her. 

As she was monologing, she brought up Ennis' death which made Deucalion look at her and throw his cane into her shoulder. Now Morell and Alan Deaton were very important to the girl so, when Scott when to protect her, Alex joined. Growling at the pack. 

The words that left her mouth next made Alex sigh heavily.  They had to find her biggest nightmare, the Nemeton.

Not long after, Scott and Alex were asked to meet up with Stiles and Deaton. 

Deaton explained the plan, using  Scott, Stiles and Allison as surrogate sacrifices(temporary) to find the locatoin but he needed one extra willing candidate... He needed someone who knew where the Nemeton was, someone who could be used to guide them as the nemeton might corrupt their better judgement. He needed Alex.
