I was pulling out of the sheriff's station after being parked for 10 minutes, trying to decide whether to listen in or not, but eventually i decided against it.

I saw Lydia running out of the station, seeing my car and screaming for me. I stopped immediately, Lydia jumping into the car and turning to me with wide eyes.

"Library" Was all she said before I nodded, speeding off. I didnt ask questions as we pulled up and she jumped out the car. I took my keys, following her into the building slowly, seeing her slam a book down on the table.

"Lydia?" I asked, worried.

"You need to be quiet" She said, opening the book and and taking a big deep breath. I nodded, taking slow steps forward but was cut off as Lydia was pulled from her trance.

"You know what's coming don't you?" The voice taunted, i whipped around to see Theo there, standing in all of his smug glory.

"Someone's going to die here" Lydia said, tears in her eyes. I sprung into action, stepping next to Lydia as Theo came closer to us. I put my arm in front of her, Theo smirking at me knowing I knew his dark side. He wasn't on our side.

"Right, but I can't let you two tell anyone" Theo said.

"Why?" I asked.

"Because I want you Clara and Lydia. I want all of you" Theo said in a condescending tone. Allison was right,

"What are you talking about?" I squinted my eyes, he was insane. I get he wanted a pack but this wasn't how to do it. Not at all.

"I'll give you some time to talk about it" Theo smirked, pushing me to the side and smacking Lydia across the face.

"LYDIA" I screamed, speeding forward but Theo grabbed my throat as I got close, squeezing my windpipe as I heard it crack, not letting breath into my lungs. I groaned, as he pulled a stake from his backpocket, smiling and waving it in my face.

I went wide eyed, shaking my head vigorously. He was going to kill me, he can't kill me. I can't come back if he kills me.

"Don't Theo" I mumbled, tears in my eyes. Black dots clouding my vision.

"Not yet" He whispered, jamming the stake in my stomach and squeezing tighter around my throat, cracking it. I felt my head fall to the side, vision clouding completely.

He's not going to kill me.

Yet.

----

I groaned, my eyes fluttering open. Through my hazy vision I made out I was in a car. I cracked my neck, sitting up and peeping out the car window to see 2 figures.

I pushed back the hair in my face, listening in to the mystery men before me.

"I'm here for a pack" One snarled. Theo?

"I came for the werecoyote. The one whose first instinct is to kill. I came for the Banshee, the girl surrounded by death. I came for the dark Kitsune, the Beta with anger issues... I came for Void Stiles. That's the pack I want" Theo went on. Was he with Stiles. I groaned, lifting my hand to open the car door.

"Unfortunately, it doesn't include Scott" Theo smirked. I growled a bit, is he threatening Scott? Is that really a smart idea.

Why am I taking so long to heal? I looked down to the stake still lodged in my stomach, a white substance dripping from it as well as blood. Vervain.

I fell out the car, groaning, I looked up to glare at Theo.

"And it doesn't include Clara either" Theo said, I saw Stiles' expression change from one of anger and distaste to fear and love.

"Stiles" I whimpered, Theo grabbed my arm, pulling me from the ground and dragging me over to Stiles.

"We were friends, Theo" I mumbled, eyes drifting off as everything in my vision got blurrier as the vervain swarmed my system, taking over.

"We were never friends, Clara. An alpha doesn't need friends, he needs a pack" Theo whispered in my ear, tucking my hair behind my ear as he ran his hand down my face.

"Your heartbeat's rising, Stiles. It's not because you're afraid. Nogitsune is gone, but you've still got more blood on your hands than any of us. I'm about to get more" Theo said louder, gripping the stake in my stomach and digging it in further. I gasped, holding my breath as the killer pain shredded it's way through my body.

"I'll tell you where your dad is, if you promise not to help Scott or Clara" Theo bargained. Stiles' face went red as he lunged forward, Theo dropping me to the ground as Stiles punched him across the face.

This could of all been avoided if Scott believed Stiles, if he stopped giving strangers the benefit of the doubt.

"There he is! That's Void Stiles! It felt good, didn't it?" Theo taunted Stiles as Stiles walked over, grabbing his collar. I was on my knees, trying to grasp the stake in my stomach to pull it out, but I was weak.

I heard Stiles punch Theo again, Theo chuckling slightly.

"No" I heard Stiles mumble, he repeated 'no' getting louder and louder until I felt Theo grab my hair, I squealed, stand up by force. Theo gripped the front of my neck, pulling out the stake from my stomach as I screamed.

"We won't tell Scott. 'Cause you can't lose your best friend, right? Even though we both know, you never needed him and you never needed Clara" Theo chuckled slightly. Stiles gritted his teeth, tears spilling over as he shook his head.

"Please don't" Stiles whimpered. Theo lifted his hand, aiming the stake above my heart and applying slight pressure as it broke through my skin, grazing my chest plate.

I looked up to Stiles, smiling slightly as my vision clouded with tears and pain.

"I love you" I croaked. I saw Stiles scream as the stake pierced my heart. I gasped, dropping to the floor, Stiles catching me in his arms as I struggled to breath. I looked down at my feet, grey veins slowly making their way up my legs. Why must it be so slow.

"I love you, Clara. I love you so much" Stiles cried, his tears dripping on to my cheeks. I understood was Allison meant now, by her last words.

Lying here, dying in the arms of my first love i felt no pain.

I smiled, not finding the strength to speak as veins spread completely up my body. I felt a burning pain in my heart, forcing it to stop.

I was dead.
