I was running as quick as I could away from the hunters who were slowly catching up to me. Gun shots rang throughout my ears and I was already feeling lethargic from all this running. I saw the trees slowly lessening and knew my chances of survival were becoming slimmer by the second. When a building came into a view I realized that they had set me up: I was at the Argent's armory where tons of hunters were already at.

"Damn it," I mumble and continue to run and barge through the door.

Rounding a corner, I see an open doorway and hope to lose the hunters behind me for good. When I turn around to search for my hiding spot, arms wrap around me and carry me into another room. I thrash to try and escape, but the voice makes me heart beat slow down and I become calm.

I open my eyes and almost scream when I see Stiles right in front of me. A smile makes its way onto my face and I envelope him in a hug. His hands wrap around my waist immediately and I'm so glad to have him back. "Can't believe you didn't tell me what was going on."

I pull my head back and look at him with a sorrow expression. "Lydia didn't want you to-"

"No not that," Stiles shakes his head and lifts my left hand off his shoulder. His eyes narrow at the engagement ring and I'm about to explain, but he holds his hand out. "Theo already called me a week ago and asked for my blessing since I was the one who hated him the most. I said yes because even though I want to punch him a lot, he's a good guy to you and you're so happy with him. I just wanted to be the first to know about it."

I don't speak because I'm surprised at what Stiles said and what Theo did. These two were polar opposites yet somehow came together when all differences were set aside. Someone clears their throat behind me and I turn around to see the one and only Jackson Whittemore.

He chuckles and gestures to my ring. "I'm gone for two years and you're already engaged?"

"I missed you too," I roll my eyes, but he walks up and gives me a side hug, placing a kiss on top of my head. Lydia comes into the room along with Ethan.

I look up at Jackson and see the way he's staring at Ethan. My mouth gapes open and I point in between the two. "You two..."

"I did some soul searching in London," Jackson answers which solidifies my theory. My brother liked guys and I was honestly so happy he finally figured that out.

Stiles gathers us together in a group and lays out the plan. "Okay Scott said someone else needs to be at the hospital where Liam is. Since Theo is already on his way I think we can all agree Kayla should be the on to go. " I nod at his suggestion and he continues. "The rest of us will go to the school to fight off the majority of the hunters and the Anuk-ite. If you look at it you will turn into stone so just...well don't look at it."

We break our little team huddle and I make my way to the hospital which wasn't very far from here. I'm half a mile away when gun shots start echoing all around me and my mind starts to think of the worse case scenarios. Theo and Liam got shot, one is dying, one might be dead already. This gives me the energy to sprint the rest of the way and I get there in a matter of minutes.

I enter the hospital and climb up the stairs; it was much more work, but the elevator would be an obvious give away to my location. I hoist my way up to the third floor and carefully open the doors. A body goes flying past me and hits the wall adjacent. My breath hitches in my throat when I see Gabe pointing a gun directly at me. Nolan and Melissa duck in front of me as Liam and Theo run away from the flying bullets. I quickly get to the ground and pull Melissa behind a wall. Nolan is very exposed to the bullets and I know he's trying to change for the better so I risk myself to grab him. I pull his red hoodie mainly and rag him being the wall with us. I gave Theo a chance when no one else would, he deserves the same opportunity as well.
