Book 2: Beacon Hills: War [ Teen Wolf ]

"I'm Afraid!"

In Eris head Scott, Damion, Raphael, and Damion are split up. Scott found himself in what looked like New York. But the strange thing is that it was empty, not a person to be found. He was in the middle of the street, only the sound of the wind blowing was heard.
All of a sudden he hears a heartbeat but it was coming from all directions, he looked around trying to find out where the sound was coming from. Just then a little girl with long brown hair , who looked like she was around thirteen came from a alley way with watches, necklaces, and earrings in her hands. Scott recognized the girl as Amara, he saw her stuff the jewelry in her pockets and walk over to a pawn shop. "Amara!" He called out. She quickly turned her head to the foreign sound, she gave him a sly smile and ran inside the pawn shop. Scott ran after her and went inside looking around for her, she was behind the counter trying to open the cash register. Scott watched her struggle and walked over to her. "Amara? Is that you?" She looked up at him and frowned her face in annoyance. "Maybe. Why are you here Scott" She asked, as she turned her attention back to her original problem. She started to get angry at the machine so she punched it causing the drawer to open revealing the cash. Scott was shocked to see her have super strength. "We need to talk." He said sternly.
Damion on the other hand was back in the large building that he was being held captive in. He walked down the long dim hallway, he saw a giant hole in the wall leading down to the dungeon Amara and Ren were trapped in. He started to hear voices coming from down the stairs. He quickly walked down the stairs hoping that the voice he was hearing was the real Amara. He reached the bottom to find Amara sitting in a corner crying. She had cuts, bruises, and blood all over her, she looked like she fell off a building. Damion ran towards her and knelt down. "Amara? Amara what happened?"
"I give up." She said never looking up at him, he could sense she was in pain physically, and mentally. She continued crying, as Damion heard multiple footsteps coming down the stairs. He quickly stood in front of Amara guarding her. He saw that the people that were coming down were Raphael and Artemis were running down chasing someone. A little girl around the age of nine. She looked like Amara, the little girl completely ignored Damion and ran and sat next to the present looking Amara that was sitting in the corner crying. "Who is this?" Damion asked looking back and forth at his parents and the little girl. "That is Amara. Or a version of her. We were in what looked like New York in a foster home, but it was empty. When she saw us she took off running. We've been chasing her for what felt like an hour, then she ran into this warehouse and when we went inside we ended up here." Raphael said who was trying not to show that he was tired of running and out of shape. "I'm not fighting anymore! You can't make me!" The little girl said. "If you don't fight you will be gone forever." Artemis said kneeling down. "We are tired of losing, we've been fight to keep her away since we were little. We don't have any strength left." The older Amara said looking up at them. She wiped away her tears and sniffled. "Amara I need you. We need you." Damion said softly.
"I'm sorry." Little Amara said holding on the a blanket she had.
Scott and thirteen year old Amara was walking down the street of New York. "Amara you have to come back to us. If you stop fighting Eris is going to win, and you will die."
"Wow the witch gave herself a name. How cute." She said sarcastically still walking. Scott was tired of this childish behaviour. He walked faster to catch up to her and grabbed her arm spinning her around, facing him. "Why won't you fight?!" He yelled at her, she shook him off her and stepped back. "Because I'm afraid! I'm afraid that if I fight, I will win and she will still be apart of me. Still trying to take control over me. I'm tired Scott! Do you know why we are in New York?" He shook his head. "Because I felt free here, even when she would try to take control, I had my pack help me through it. But now I have no one. They are afraid of me."
"No, they are afraid of her, not you."
"What's the difference?"
"She is pure evil, you are pure good."
Amara shrugged as a tear ran down her face. "Same person."
"No, just the same body. But not the same person."
Scott walked over to her and hugged her tightly. "Please fight her, for me." She pulled back and looked at him and smiled. "I will but you have to promise me something."
Just then back in the dungeon the two Amaras stood up. The older Amara her body started to heal and she was now cleaned up. Scott and thirteen year old Amara walked downstairs and she join the other two Amaras. "Who she?" Raphael asked turning and looking at Scott. "Amara."
"Why did I even ask?" Raphael said looking at the three girls. The three girls looked at Artemis for awhile and smiled. "Hey mom." They all said. "Hi." Artemis said, tears forming in her eyes. "We will fight but only if you all promise that you will be in each others lives, if we lose. For us." One of the Amaras said. They agreed, then the Amaras merged into the older Amara. Just then everything went black and Scott, Damion, Artemis, and Raphael woke up gasping and they all stepped back when they saw Amara fall to the ground. She was shaking, and groaning like she was in pain. Stiles started to run to her but Scott stopped him.
"We have to help her."
"We can't, she has to do this herself. All we can do now is wait."
