You always have a choice

"Welcome back, my beta" Peter says as he transforms back into his human form. "So, it really is you." Ella speaks up. "You're not surprised?" Peter asks, astonished. "No" "Well, I should've known. You always were too smart for your own good." Peter smirks.

Ella runs up to Peter to attack him, but he blocks her punch. "I saved you all this time and the second you see me you go to attack me? You break my heart." Peter says sarcastically, while motioning to his heart. "I know you saved me, but you killed your own niece. I can't forget that." Ella defends.

"I didn't have a choice." Peter lies. Ella glares at him. "You always have a choice." she points out. "That's where you're wrong, my love, I d-"Peter starts, but gets interrupted. "Don't call me that." Ella demands. "Please let me finish my story. I didn't always have a choice. Like, for example when I left you." Peter continues. Ella glares at him as he brings up their past. "Yes you did."

"No, I didn't. Please don't interrupt me again. So, as I was saying. I didn't make the choice to leave you. You see, when it happened, you know what I mean." he continues. Ella rolls her eyes at him, knowing what he refers to. "I didn't know at that time that an alpha pack was being formed. Since one of those alphas killed Dereks' girlfriend, I'll tell you that story another time, a war between them and our family had started. My sister, Talia knew about us. She told me that if the alphas found out about us, they would come for you too and kill you, just to provoke us. That's why I had to leave you, Ella. It was for your own safety." Peter continues, telling the truth for once.

Ella is in shock from the revallation. Derek was right, Peter's heart was in the right place at that time, but it definitely isn't anymore. "I do believe you, Peter, but it still doesn't explain why you killed your niece." she speaks up. "It was an accident. She knew something that I didn't and she refused to tell me. We broke out into a fight and then I accidentally killed her." Peter lies.

"I don't believe you." Ella states. "Well, you don't have to believe me, but I need you to help me." Ella looks at Peter in confusion. "What would you need my help for and why would you think I would do it?" she asks. "Because it's about getting my revenge on the ones that killed my family. I know they felt like your family too. Think about little Cora." Peter explains.

Ella thinks about it and then makes a decision. "Okay, I'll help you, but this doesn't mean that I trust you." "Just helping is enough........For now." Peter whispers the last part.

When Ella and her alpha arrive at the school, they walk to the science classroom. Ella knocks on the door. After a few seconds, Harris opens it. "What do you need?" he asks the woman. "I have a few questions about history." she states while she walks in, not closing the door. Harris walks over to his desk and Ella follows him. "I don't teach history." "I don't care. I have a sense that you know the answers to my questions." "What kind of history do you want to know?" he asks. "His history." she states, while pointing at the alpha, who has just walked in.

Harris' eyes watch him in fright. "Please don't kill me." he pleads. The alpha takes a list and shows it. "Do you know who wrote that list?" he asks. "Laura-Laura Hale." Harris stammers. "Do you know why she was looking for you?" Peter asks. When Harris doesn't answer, he answers in his place. "I know why. Turn around, Adrian. Turn around and I'll show you." Peter demands.

"TURN AROUND!" he shouts. "I would do it, Adrian. He gets cranky when you don't listen to him." Ella tries. "No... Please..." Adrian pleads. "Look at me! Look at what you've done!" Peter shouts. He then hears footsteps, so he takes Ella and runs away.

"GET DOWN!" Derek shouts as he walks in. "This is the police. You're surrounded. No one leaves the building." The police speaks in the megaphone. Derek runs away, following the alpha and Ella, while the police follows him and the Argents follow Stiles and Scott driving his car.
