"Stiles, it's happening! This is really bad, like really really-"

"You know me?! Oh thank god you know me!" He says, hugging me.

"I know, but I think everyone else is forgetting. My brother was trying to tell me something when he saw my drawing..I think this is-" I get cut off by a gust of cold wind. I hear the sound of hooves, and then a snort. I look up, and the horseman is staring dead at us.

"Do you see him?"

"Y-Yes..."

"If we can see them, they're coming for us. We need to get away from each other. Save yoursel-" "I am NOT leaving you." I say, cutting him off. You'd think we were living in Sleepy Hallow, because what I see literally almost looks like something out of the Sleepy Hallow mythology, except this horseman has its head and an old fashioned pistol and isn't carrying a pumpkin .

Pulling my arm so we can go faster, we try to get away from them. He tries to pull me one way, but one horseman blocks out way. We try a different way, and the same thing happens again. Then another one. "There's no way..."

"This way." I shout, pulling his arm. We were able to get away from them easily.

"Ryder, don't look at them!"

"I won't!

We finally reach Roscoe, and get inside. Stiles is about to turn the car on, but stops and slowly takes the key out the ignition.

"What are you doing? We gotta go!"

"There's no time..." Hs said, sadly. "They're gonna take me instead of you, okay? I figured it out...that there's a reason they won't take you." He says, taking my shakey hands in his.

"No! No-don't do this Stiles! I can't do this without you! I can't lose you and Theo all together.."

He just completely ignores what I just said. "I'm being erased, just like Alex...You'll forget me."

"No," I shake my head, crying. "I won't. I won't."

"Find some way to remember me, okay?" He wipes my tears away with his thumb. "Think about-remember the first time we met freshman year? Remember how I wouldn't stop bothering you in Econ until you agreed to go on a date with me? Remember our first kiss?  Remember me, Ryder. Just remember I still love you..."

Not even a second later, he's pulled through the window, and it's like nothing even happened. There's no shattered window, no glass...nothing.

I just sit there, crying my eyes out, repeating, "Remember. Remember,"

  *A few hours earlier*

It's a boring night in in Beacon Hills, and Im home, having a horror movie marathon with my older brother and legal guardian, Aaron. It's actually around midnight right now, which is perfect.

We're currently on of his favorites, Dead Silence. Instead of telling you what it's about, go google it.

Anyways, as I'm freaking out again over these damn creepy ass dolls in the movie, my phone goes off. It's Stiles.

I know what you're thinking, "Ryder-last time i checked, you hated Scotts pack since they're they're reason Theo is gone wyd?¿¿¿" Weeeeelllll....
