Song: 

The Fray - Be Still

        Tessa's P.O.V

I was with Chris "Are you okay?" Chris asked. "I'm fine, why do you ask?" I asked. "You can talk about it if you wanted too." He said. "What do you mean? That the one who tried to kill me and my husband on many occasions... I'm fine." I said. "Or the fact that I want her dead?" I asked. "Both I guess." He said. "For a long time I thought I was really related to my brother, but then I get this feeling... that something isn't right... I kept talking to Alison while she was on the other side... She said she would ask your wife... but she said she didn't know anything." I said. "I think Alison knew that I was some what related because of how we acted with her and myself." I said. "Have you told Scott?" He asked.

"No, because I'm afraid to tell him." I said. "Argents are known for there strength like you being a white wolf... that kind of power didn't come without a price to pay." He said. "I took this with Alison while I was well you know dead." I said and showed it to him. "I didn't even know you could do that." He said. "I wanted my daughter to know that she was named after a great leader, Chris I'm sorry but I cannot hunt with you it's just too much of reminder of Alison." I said. Alison appeared by Chris, "Alison, you came." I said. "I will always be there for best friend / cousin." She said. "Is she here?" Chris asked. "Standing right by you." I said.

"You need to learn, take my bow." She said. "No I can't Alison, that's your bow... it doesn't belong to me... I'm not going to be a hunter... I can't." I started to cry. "I miss you, I miss you so much." I said. "Tessa, calm down." She said. "Tessa, I know you miss her I do too. I miss you Alison I miss my family, but all she would want is to you protect this city and you're kids." Chris said and hugged me. "I miss you too, Daddy." She said. "I have to go, Chris I'm sorry I can't be that thing that is my mom is... I just can't." I said and ran towards my car. "Tessa wait." He said. I started the car and drove away I cried my tears were so hard.

I heard police lights behind me I rolled down the window; "Tessa, oh my god are you okay?" He asked. "I'm fine, this isn't me." I said. "Have you told Scott?" He asked. "I can't I would break his heart." I said. "Well he's going to find out one way or another you want me to dragged your ass there and tell him myself?" He asked. "No, I'll tell him... I just need time." I said.
