OF DEATH AND LIFE

De-Void

Scott, Kira and Elaine were driving as fast as they could to Derek's loft, but it was already getting dark. When they were getting out of the car the first thing, they heard were gunshots. And when they ran into Derek's loft Derek crouched on the ground, Chris Argent next to him, Sheriff Stilinski and Allison standing next to them. Both Chris Argent and Sheriff Stilinski pointed their guns at the three but lowering them once they recognized them.

"What happened?", Scott asked.

"They disappeared. They literally just vanished.", Allison explained.

"And so did Stiles.", the Sheriff added.

When Scott and Elaine arrived back home, Kira by their side, Elaine noticed something weird. The light was on. But Mellissa was still at work.

"Scott? Did you leave the light on or...?", Elaine began.

"Uh, no. Weird." Scott went ahead and opened the door slowly, to be cautious.

When the three of them had entered the kitchen, they got surprised by two new faces. "Surprise!", they exclaimed. Elaine was shocked. Scott too was shocked, but not as much as the girl standing next to her.

"What the hell are you two doing here?", Elaine exclaimed, happy but still shocked. Before her stood Conrad and Belly.

"Oh, you know. We're just here for a little vacation.", Belly shrugged.

"What?", Elaine asked, now even more confused on why her friends from New York where here, in her home.

"We're here for you, silly.", Belly shook her head going in for a hug, Elaine gladly returned the hug.

Scott, unnoticed by Elaine, waved Conrad and Belly hello and went with Kira upstairs, leaving the other three to catch up. Right after Belly, Conrad too went to hug Elaine. "And you're finally home too.", Conrad joked.

"Again, why are you guys here exactly?", Elaine asked, the three of them now being in her room.

"We already said we're here for you.", Conrad repeated what Belly had already said before.

"Does my aunt know you're here?"

"She was the one to offer her house as a temporary motel basically."

"Really? She didn't tell me that."

"Because it was supposed to be a surprise.", Conrad deadpanned.

"And it obviously worked.", Belly added.

"I am really happy that you are here, guys. But you couldn't have had picked a worse time.", Elaine sighed, taking a seat on her bed, Conrad and Belly joining her.

"Why? What's going on?", Belly asked concerned.

"Too much is going on. Let me tell you that."

"Well, we're also not just here because we wanted to visit you. Especially so soon already."

"Yeah, someone kinda left us no choice really.", Conrad mumbled. Elaine looked at him confused, not knowing what he meant by that.

"What do you mean?", Elaine asked Belly.

"The first thing we want to tell you, that we're also not just visiting."

"Huh?"

"Since, you know, I'm like 2 almost 3 years older than you two and already finished high school, Conrad's parents agreed to let him live with me, here in Beacon Hills, so you two can finish school together at the same school. And somehow, they even think this could be very good for his college applications.", Belly explained. Conrad and Elaine had met Belly at an after school activity and had clicked instantly.
