I couldn't move an inch of my body. I was in shock. I didn't know if I wanted to run away from the fire or to it.
Slowly but still paralyzed, I started to make out what seemed adults and children screaming. As soon as I heard them, I ran trying to help in some way but it was useless. I felt my own skin burning at the contact with the heat. "PLEASE! HELP US!! ANYONE!!" A knot at the back of my throat started to form. I knew who they were. I knew they would not survive.

Foot steps could be heard approaching fast behind me. I turned around and saw three shadows running in my direction. I thought the were going to attack me but nothing happened. They just ignored my presence and ran past me, as if I wasn't there. A little girl, a maybe ten year old boy and an older girl approached the house desperate without knowing what to do. "LAURA PLEASE DO SOMETHING!" The boy said to the oldest girl who just stood there looking at the burning house. Tears falling down her cheeks. "Everything is going to be okay Cora. Mom and dad are fine. They're on their way out now." He said to the little girl who was crying on the floor, her hands covering her face.

Derek.

The screams finally died leaving just the echo in my ears. The crackling of the wood made everything feel oddly calm.
No background noise  just the burning wood and Cora's soft cry. I didn't know what to do then but to look at the horrifying scenario playing in front of me.
I had just witnessed the Hale family murders.
I started to walk closer to the little kids when a soft whisper came from them.
"You see what happens? Everything they love dies. Everything they touch crumbles to the ground. It's just a matter of time until you find yourself buried alive."
Their voices came in unison forming one deep echo. Shivers rolling down my back as they one by one stood in front of me. Their skin pale like snow and their eyes as dark as the deep abyssal sea.
The temperature suddenly dropped until I could see my breath in front of me. Bit by bit, the scenario in front of me was deteriorating. The house wasn't burning no more it was like the fire died hours ago but the smell still lingering in the air.
"You're in his mind, Stiles. Now you're gonna get to know true pain." The three of them said at the same time before everything went dark.

"Scott hurry up! It has to be around here!"
I heard a voice coming from the darkness. It was my own.
