Beautiful Monsters

Part 28

(A/N- Exams are over! Finally! To all those who wrote as well. Congrats! So, I'm publishing two chapters today!) 

While Scott and Lydia were fighting their ways to Stiles' mind. Peter was sitting on the cliff with a now human Alex. Slow rock played in the back which was the cause of Alex's swaying. 

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" She asked while looking at the stars that seemed to shine bright in the dark night sky. Turning his gaze from the stars to her, his eyes scanning her dark brown hair, her face shape, her strong jaw, even the small but noticeable scar on her cheek next to her eye and hummed, "Breath-taking." 

"Have you ever thought of it? Of trying to find the one your destined for?" she asked him. 

"I'm one of the lucky few who didn't have to find them. You found me." He smiled at her. 

"Technically I found Scott who you bit, then you bit me." She turned to look at him, a smile spread across her face. 

"In that case, best disicion of my life." he muttered and kissed her. 

She leaned back, still kissing him with passion as her back touched the cold grass. Peter's hands travelled up her leg, trying to savor every inch of her. Only to stop mid kiss and sit up. Trying to regain his composure as he looked around. 

His mind was becoming his again as Alex sat up with a frown. "What's wrong?" 

"We've never been here while you were human, you don't have any weapons on you... your eyes don't flash red when I kiss you." he started naming things that were out of the ordinary. 

"This isn't real..." he muttered and stood up. 

A door appeared, right on the edge and cracked open just a bit. 

Peter stood up, leaving what seemed like paradise to him, and walked though the door. 

He ended up in a bathroom type of place. But all the mirrors were different, each held a different image of Alex. Almost like they were being separated. He walked, watching each and every mirror, until he came to the one of young Alex and Stiles, posing for a picture on halloween. They were dressed as Star Wars characters. 

He noticed the faint hand mark in the mist around the image and touched it, only for the door behind him to open. It was like Alex was trying to trap him with all the doors and passages. Luckily, when he passed the door, he was in a white room. Scott and Lydia were not to far to his right. 

The three saw Stiles and the Nogitsune sitting on the Nemeton, playing a game called Go. On the side, Alex stood weakly against the pilar she was chained too. 

"Alex!" Peter tried to call to her, just like Scott and Lydia tried to call for Stiles. 

Nothing worked. Until Lydia stated that they were part of the pack, Scott should roar. 

Scott replied that Peter needed to join him, to get Alex out as well. 

Both took deep breaths, shifting into werewolf forms and let out a loud, echoing howl. 

As Stiles seemed to get out of it, Alex just stared in their direction. He was the one trapped inside a possession. Not her. She was trapped inside another version of herself.

Stiles threw the pieces of the game around, making the Nogitsune roar at him and appear in front of Alex. It's hand wrapped around her throat, making them yell out to her. 

What happened next, no one expected, Dark Alex had  appeared behind Peter, slightly flickering like a ghost as she plunged her hand into his chest. 

"No!" Alex wheezed for breath, making her alter ego stop. "N-not him. Go for me, not him. Not Peter." It flickered for a second and let go, appearing in front of  Alex and doing the same to her.
