"Dad, can't we do this tomorrow?" Scott said. He was jumpy.

"That's actually something I've been saying for a long time. Come here." We've followed our dad to the front stairs. "You see this? This dent in the floor... That was from your head. The night before I moved out your mother and I were fighting. You came out of your room. I grabbed you by the wrist. You pulled back. And you fell. We watched you tumble down those stairs. Juliet didn't know what was happening so she cried, You were out for probably 20 seconds. When you came to, you didn't remember a thing." He got up and walked to the door. "See here?"

"There's another dent, so?" I said to him.

"You, Juliet, you wanted me to stay, you grabbed my hand and I accidentally pushed you. Your head made that dent. You were bleeding behind your head and you ran to your mom. Your mom told me to be out by the morning. That was the last time I ever had a drink. And that's why I left."

"Okay, Dad. Let me show you something." I pointed at the window. "See the edge of this window sill. When I got my first skateboard I slid right into it. Broke my collarbone." I told him. Scott pointed at the table.

"This used to be glass. Until I fell on top of it trying to catch a lacrosse ball from Stiles.I got three stitches in my cheek. This house is full of accidents. The stairs? Maybe it was an accident. Maybe it was worse. But I healed. I don't need your apology. So... See you at graduation. Or whenever you decide to show up again." Scott walked away and I was there alone with him.

"I needed you, and you just left." I said my final words before I walked away and into Scotts room.

"Coup de what? What is that Spanish?" Stiles puzzled together.

"French. It's French." Scott said as he told him.

"We know where Lydia is." Demetri and Isaiah said at the same time as they came in the room. We all got in the car, it was crowd.

"Hey, you okay?" Scott asked Stiles, who was driving.

"Yeah. You don't have to worry about me."

"All right, I'll say it." Isaiah coughs up. "You look like you're dying. You're pale, thin and you look like you're getting worse. And we're all sitting here thinking it. When we find the other you, is he gonna look like he's getting better?" Demetri slaps him on the side of the head and shook his head.

"What happens if he gets hurt?"

"You mean if he dies, do I die? I don't care. Just so long as no else dies because of me. I remember everything I did, Scott. I remember pushing that sword into you. I remember twisting it."

"It wasn't you." I touched Stiles shoulder.

"Yeah, but I remember it. You guys gotta promise me. You can't let anyone else get hurt because of me." We saw Allison, Isaac waiting outside the gate.

"Stiles." I said as I got out the car.

"Yeah?"

"What you said back there, you didn't care if you died." I shed a tear. "I would care. You're my best friend. Remember when you told me, if I died, you'll go out of your freaking mind?"

"Yeah."

"I would do the same thing."

"No Juliet. If I die, that would be good. Nobody gets hurt. I don't have hope anymore."

"You gave me hope. A place in the world. You're not cursed. You're not some horrible person, I know because you taught me that I wasn't. You convince me that I had a purpose, maybe that my life wasn't over, but just getting somewhere.

"You're wasting your time caring about me."

"I can't help it." I pulled him into a hug. We walked to the pack and gathered around.

"We've done this before, guys. A couple of weeks ago we were standing around just like this and we saved Malia, remember? That was a total stranger. This is Lydia." Scott announced.

"I'm here to save my best friend." Allison said.

"I came to save mine."

"I just didn't feel like doing any homework." Isaac told everyone and we all sighed.

"I totally like this guy." Isaiah pats Isaac on the back and we enter red the gates of Oak Creek.

"Kira, turn around and go home. Take your friends with you." Kira's mom said to her.

"I can't. When I looked at the game I realized who I was actually playing. You."

"Call them off." Allison said as she drew her bow.

"You think you could take him alive? You think you can save him?"

"What if we can?" I demanded.

"I tried something like it 70 years ago. Your friend is gone."

"Are you sure? Or if Stiles doesn't have to die. Maybe Rhys didn't have to die either?" Kira told her mom.

"I see I'm no longer the Fox now, Kira. You are. But the Nogitsune is still my demon to bury." Her mom felt something. She pulls out her hand and looks at the dying firefly.

"Mom? What is that? What does that mean?"

"It means there's been a change in ownership." 'Stiles' said as he appeared. "Now they belong to me." We looked to see, let's call him darkStiles, surrounded by the oni. They all marched and looked at us all. We all stared to fight. The Hastings and I fought with them together.

"How do we stop them?!" Isaac screamed at Kira's mom.

"We cant!" I howled. "Ah!" I pierced my fangs on the Oni neck. Demetri had snap it's neck. I heard an arrow released. I looked at Allison. The oni just went away. It's dead. Allison smiles until an Oni stabbed her through her stomach.

"Allison!" I screamed. I tried to run but Isaiah and Demetri held me back. I saw Scott look at Allison and ran to her.

"Did you find her? Is she okay? Is Lydia safe?" Allison gasped as she tried to talk to Scott.

"She's okay. Yeah." I felt everything was in slow motion. I fell down on my knees. "I can't. I can't take your pain."

"It's because it doesn't hurt."

"No."

"It's okay." Allison nodded at Scott, smiling.

"Allison." I felt the pain Scott had. I felt broken.

"It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. It's perfect. I'm in the arms of my first love. The first person I ever loved. The person I'll always love. I love you. Scott. Scott McCall." She smiled at him the last time.

"Don't, please, don't. Allison don't, please."

"You have to tell my dad. And you have to tell my dad. Tell him." I felt her last breath. I held my mouth and cried on Isaiah's shoulder. Allison's dead.
