Third person pov
    Kristen pissed Alex off, again. So, because Kristen can't die other then the death touch, Alex snapped her neck. Kristen woke up livid. To retaliate, she got Alex arrested for assault, she'll drop the charges later.

Alex's pov
I'm sitting on the bench. When 3 people get locked in the cell. Two boys and one girl, all around Liam's age, probably a little older.
One of the boys goes up to the bars. "I had nothing to do with any of this! Hello! Come on!" He turns to the other two. "Who did you kill?" He points to the girl. "Was it you?" He points to the boy. "You? Both of you? Who's the murderer?"
He takes a breath. "Alright I get it. The longer you stay quiet, the better, right?" He crouches to their eye level. "But you're here for murder." The girl puts her hand on the other boys shoulder. "And they're keeping me here too. But your the murderers."
The other boy speaks. "We're not murderers!"
"Shang," the girl warns.
He continues. "If you'd been there, you'd know we didn't have a choice," the girl sits up, "they came after us."
"Shang! Shut up!" She tells him.
The other boy stands up and looks at the surveillance camera and asks, "We good?"
A deputy comes to get him and turns to me. "Your friend dropped the charges."
"Finally." I get up. He closes the cell door behind me leaving the boy and girl.
The deputy, deputy Parrish, gives me and the boy pen and paper saying, "Sign it and your free to go." I do.
The boy freezes. "Did you hear that?"
"Get away from those windows, put those guns away!" The sheriff said.
Deputy Parrish turns to him. "I'm guessing you know who's out there."
"I got a pretty good idea."
"They'll be armed to the teeth," the deputy says worriedly.
"Which is why I won't be." He puts his gun down.
"I'm going with you," Parrish urges.
"No, your gonna get some deputies, check the exits, and hope we're not completely surrounded. Keep an eye out, let's make sure we're all on the same side here."
Parrish looks confused, then looks around the station. The sheriff walks out of the doors to confront the people outside.
Deputy Parrish tells another deputy to keep his gun holstered.
The boy opens the door to the sheriff's office and I follow. I see Liam and four other people inside.
"Not mine," boy says in response to someone saying that they need to keep the werewolves in the cell alive.
Liam steps up. "You want me to kill him?"
A girl with short hair turns to Liam. "No just leave him can we please just go?"
Another girl with black hair says, "We're not going anywhere. Don't you get it, we're trapped. They have all of the windows and doors covered. We're going to die in here."
"Does someone wanna kill her?" The boy asks.
The girl with short hair strides up to him. "Shut up!" Everyone seems shocked.
That's when Liam notices me. "Alex?"
"Hey, Yeah uh what the hell is going on and who are all these people?"
"Um, the guy in-front of you is Theo, he's a chimera. The girl here," he gestures to the girl with short hair, "is Malia, were-coyote. Scott," he gestures to a boy holding Malia back worriedly, "is a true alpha. Lydia," He points to a girl that has strawberry blonde hair, "is a banshee. And Gwen is a werewolf," he said pointing to the girl with black hair. "Guys this is Alex Frost. Basically a god."
"Okay, number one, not a god because gods can died and two, carry on."
Scott talks to Malia. "Take a breath. You're shaking."
"I'm fine," she responds shakily.
Lydia walks up, heels clacking. "Guys, there's only a dozen of them out there, we can take them."
"Scott?" Liam calls. "They're the last of Satomi's pack. We can't leave them behind."
Scott speaks. "Okay. We go. But Shang and Tiri are coming with us." Liam nods.

Couple minutes later

We all walk toward the door, Scott leading.
He turns to Lydia. "You ready?" She nods. He turns to Malia, she growls. Liam grows his claws. With hesitation so does Theo. Scott turns to me, silently asking me what I can do, I lift my hand as it freezes and claws grow. Everyone stares at me wide eyed, but they quickly recover. They turn back to the door, ready to fight.
The sheriff walks in behind us with Parrish. "Nobody's going anywhere."
"I can get through them," Lydia says.
"We're not gonna fire the first shot. Now get back from the door. All of you. Parrish, get these two back in there cell." Parrish does.
Scott walks up to the sheriff. "What happened?"
"She gave us till midnight."
The sheriff looks at me. "Your in on this supernatural stuff too?"
"Yep," I answer.
"You didn't just punch that girl did you?"
"Nope." I smile sweetly.
"Why'd she drop the charges then?"
"Okay, so what had happened was, she pissed me off, so I snapped her neck, but since she's kinda an immortal it didn't kill her and she woke up really mad and pressed charges to teach me lesson."
The sheriff rubs his temples. "I can't do this." He turns and walks away.
I can smell everyone's shock, but they don't turn to look at me.
"We're gonna barricade the doors," Scott said. So we did.
I look at my phone, I notice I have service but no one else does, must be something Andruw did.
The lights turn off.
"How easy is it to cut the power in the sheriff's station?" Malia asks.
A deputy speaks. "Too easy." She throws Nolan on the floor.
"Throw him out," Liam hissed.
"No yo-you can't. Please don't. She'll know I screwed up," Nolan begged.
"He's with them," Liam says, clearly not over what happened at school.
"Liam," Scott warns.
"Sheriff?" Parrish asks.
"He's a liar and he's sick in the head," Liam claims.
"And now he's under arrest," the sheriff concludes. He turns to Parrish. "Lock him up." Parrish brings Nolan near the holding cell, handcuffing him to a bench.
Theo and Liam disappear.
Scott turns to me. "So what are you?"
"It's complicated and," I scratch the top of my hand, "I really don't want to explain so I'll wrap it up. I'm an immortal, werewolf, witch, and mermaid, kinda.  And I have death powers and water and ice powers." I sigh. "It's just really complicated. Just know that I'm really powerful and I can't die."
"Oh um, okay." He gives me a small smile.
"Everybody get down!" Parrish yells. When we do, a flash grenade goes off.
"What the hell was that?" Malia asks.
"A distraction," Scott answers.
"They said midnight," The sheriff says angry.
Parrish stops him. "The grenade came from in here. It was one of us."
Liam brings Nolan in. "Wolfsbane." He's holding a purple vial in front of Scott. "He was trying to kill them." Nolan breaths in shakily when Scott looks at him. Scott looks disappointed. Liam speaks again. "Scott. There's something else you need to see."
Scott walks into the holding cell area with Liam and me.
"Show him your eyes," Liam demands.
Tiri speaks, "We never said we were innocent."
Scott is breathing heavy. "Show me." I put a hand on his shoulder, but he shrugs it off. They don't listen. He growls, shaking the cage. Red eyes glowing he roars, "Show me!" They do. They have piercing blue eyes, meaning they killed someone innocent. Scott closes his eyes, breathing deeply. Once he calms down, Liam opens the cell and we walk in.
"Tell me what happened," Scott asks them.
"They were hunters," Tiri said.
"I'm asking my friends to risk their lives for you. Then you have to tell me the truth." Scott sighs. "What happened?"
Shang sighs. "Satomi didn't wanna fight. We were on the run for two days but they were everywhere. Then it was just us hiding in the storm train while Satomi tried to talk to them."
Tiri talks. "But they didn't wanna talk. She died so we could keep running."
"And then what?"
"We stopped running." Tiri looks at Shang. "And we started hunting them instead."
"How?"
"It's not hard to use public records to find where someone lives." She looks to the side. "All you need is a name."
"Were they the ones that killed Satomi or Brett and Lori. Did you see them kill anyone?" Scott asks irritated.
"Does it matter?" Tiri asks.
I speak up. "It does matter."
Liam continues more angered than me. "You can't kill innocent people."
Tiri stands up. "The murdered our whole pack. You really think any of them are more innocent then us?"
Scott looks down
Shang asks, "What are you going to do?"
"I don't know," he answers.
Scott leaves to talk to the Sheriff and I go to the main room with Liam, leaving the two in the cell.
We're in the main room when an arrow shoots through the window, thankfully not hitting anyone. Scott and the sheriff walk out of the sheriff's office. Malia takes the arrow out of the wall, Liam next to her. Scott runs up to us and so does Lydia. Malia takes a piece of paper off the arrow.
Liam grabs it out of her hand, a bloody number seven. "This is Brett's number."
"They're trying to rattle us," Lydia concludes.
"It's working," Theo says looking at Liam. Liam's eyes glow yellow.
"Liam, breath," I tell him. We hear a scream. The sheriff and Parrish run to it. A minute or two after we hear a gunshot.
"What the hell?" I mutter.
Two deputies killed themselves, what is going on? Liam goes to get Tiri and Shang, switching them out for Nolan.
Theo is talking to Scott about Tiri and Shang while walking to the door. "I watched two guys bring them in and tie them up."
"Okay, but how long do they actually have, Tiri and Shang?" They stop at the barricaded door.
Theo shrugs. "Couple hours maybe."
"Did Monroe talk to them?"
"No, I don't think so. Just that guy from Eichen, maybe one or two other guys with shotguns. I think they were waiting for Monroe to do the real interrogating."
"So she might not have seen them?"
The sheriff comes into the conversation. "What are you getting at Scott?"
Scott shakes his head slightly and sighs. "I got an idea, but I don't think your gonna like it."
The sheriff raises his eyebrows. "If it keeps them from getting killed, I'm pretty open."
"Monroe said that she wanted Shang and Tiri brought out," he glances at Theo, "dead or alive." Theo and the Sheriff exchange glances.
The sheriff shoots his gun twice to trick Monroe into thinking they killed Shang and Tiri. Scott and Theo bring the bodies of the two deputies out.
"Anyone think that this is going to work?" Malia asks worriedly. She looks at everyone's annoyed faces and nods. "I'll stop asking."
And it doesn't work. Monroe asks to show the pack symbol tattoo, which they don't have. Apparently Scott's dad comes to save the day. We all go to the sheriff's office.
"Scott are you sure about this?" Lydia asks when his dad closes the door.
"I'm not, this deal sucks," Liam admits.
"Well it's the only one on the table," Scott's dad says. He takes a breath. "In a situation like this, the best solution is always to de-escalate." He turns to the sheriff. "That's why you called isn't it?"
"To be honest I didn't think anyone was gonna show up," the Sheriff says.
Everyone hesitates. They Scott nods. "Okay." Lydia, Theo, and Liam looked shocked. "We'll go."
"That means six other people have to leave. My friends/family. I'll tell them," I say.
"Okay."
We all walk out of the station. Scott's dad bringing Shang and Tiri to an FBI prisoner truck. I call Selma, telling them we have to disappear for a while. And I notice Theo and Liam glance at each other, I smirk, something is gonna happen between those two.

The next day

Mason walks into the Animal Clinic and sees Corey. He exhales and walks up to him. "You told me you were leaving!"
"I had to."
"You lied." Mason push him back.
Liam spoke up. "We all did."
He turns to us. Seeing my pack, Scott's, and Theo. He points to Corey. "So this was the plan all along?"
"Sorry Mason," Scott said. "My dad had to believe we left Beacon Hills, everyone has to believe it."
"Then what happens next," Mason questions. Not waiting for and answer he says, "We fight back now right?"
Scott grins. "What did you think we were gonna do?" He chuckles. "Run?"
