This IS My Normal

Where was he? He just won the game. He was literally on the field moments earlier.

"Emilia, where's Scott?" I heard a sigh. "Emilia"? "Emilia!" Derek yelled at me.

"What? What do you want?!" "Where's Scott he asked me again". "I don't really know. Do you know where Stiles is?" "Come with me" Derek said not giving me much of a choice considering he grabbed me by my arm to the boys locker room.

"We need to talk" Derek said with me standing beside him. "Both of us" a voice behind me said.

I turned around and ran behind Scott due to having seeing a once dead Peter Hale. How could this be?

"What the hell is this?" Scott asked. "You know, I thought the same thing when I saw you talking to Gerard at the Sheriff's station." "Okay hold on, he threatened to kill my mom. And I got close to him. What was I supposed to do?"

"I'm gonna go with Scott on this one. Have you seen his mom? She's gorgeous." "Shut up" we all said to the once dead man.

"Who is he?" Isaac asked me in a whisper. "Peter, Derek's uncle. He tried to kill us all, but Stiles and Jackson set him on fire, and Derek slashed his throat." "That's good to know". "How is he alive"?

"It doesn't matter. He knows how to stop Jackson. And maybe how to save him." Derek tells us. "Well that's very helpful except, Jackson's dead" Isaac spoke up.

"What?" Derek asked. "Jackson's dead. It just happened on the field" Isaac said.

Derek and Peter were looking as though something was wrong. "Okay, why is no one taking this as good news?" Isaac asked. "Because if Jackson is dead, it didn't just happen. Gerard wanted it to happen." Peter responded."But why" I asked.

"Well that's something we need to figure out. And something tells me the window of opportunity is closing. Quickly." Peter finished.

As soon as we arrived to the old Hale house, Scott got a message that Stiles was found.

"Okay, well I'm gonna go check in on him then" I told them. "What? No, we need your help". "There's four of you, I'm going to go check on him".

Knock knock knock. "Dad, I said I'm fine". Knock knock knock. "Dad I said I'm- Emilia hey". "Your dad let me in. I came as soon as the words left Scott's mouth"I said as I hugged him.

I looked up then saw the bruising on his face. I grabbed both sides of his face and pulled him closer. "What happened? Who did this?" "Gerard." "Why? Why did he take you?" "I don't know? To send a message?" he said fighting back tears.

"You don't have to hide your tears, Stiles. You have every reason to cry right now". "But I don't want to! All this stuff that's been happening. I'm the only one that can't heal"! "You're the only one that's human! That's a good thing Stiles... if anything-" "Being human isn't everything". "Having humanity is. I'm scared I might lose mine one day". "You won't, Lia. You're one of the most caring, empathetic people I know". "Yeah?" "Yeah".

My phone went off with a text from Scott. "I have to go meet Scott. I won't go if you don't want me to". "No, you need to go. The more help, the better". "Yeah? He said that Allison's dad is helping us". "Then go" Stiles instructed. "Before I do". "Yeah?" "You played a great game last night" I said as I headed out.

"Where's Emilia?" "I'm here, Derek's right behind me".

"Get him inside" Derek tells us upon his arrival. Scott and Isaac grabbed either side of the body bag Jackson was placed in.
