the yellow bus pulled up into a parking lot for an old and very ugly motel where we were staying tonight. "I've seen worse," Scott said

"Where have you seen worse?" Stiles asked.

"A church in Mexico surrounded by a fallen city that was destroyed by an earthquake," I answered.

"Seriously?" Stiles asked I was going to answer him but I was cut off by Coach yelling.

"Listen up! The meet has been pushed until tomorrow. This is the closest hotel with the most vacancies and least amount of good judgements when it comes to accepting a bunch of degenerates like yourselves" Coached yelled. "You'll be pairing up. Choose wisely" I looked to my sister and Lydia they nodded. "And I'll have no sexual perversions perpetrated by you little deviants. Got that! keep your dirty little hands to your dirty little selves."

I stood back with Lydia and Allison while everyone headed towards their room. "I don't like this place." I heard Lydia say.

"I don't think that the people who own this place like this place," I said.

"It's just for one night," Allison said.

"A lot can happen in one night."

after we settled in our room I was about to ask Stiles if he wanted to hang out for a while, since I never really got the chance to get to know him.

"Five? You have five suspects?" I heard Scott asked before I could knock on the door I paused.

"Yeah, it was originally eleven well ten technically I had Derek on there twice," Stiles said.

"so, who's number one? Harris?" The chemistry teacher?

"Just because he's missing doesn't mean he's dead."

"So if he's not dead, our chemistry teacher is out secretly committing human sacrifices," Scott said.

I rolled my eyes. "I guess that just sounded way better in my head."

"What if it's someone else from school like, remember Matt We didn't know he was killing anyone,"

"Excuse me. I'm sorry what? I... Yes, we did I called that from day one actually." I heard Stiles say

"Yeah, but we never really seriously thought that it was Matt,"

"I was serious, I was quite serious actually. Deadly serious, no one listened to me," Stiles said

"Who are the other 4?" Scott said

"Allison's sister, Lexi" what? really? "I don't really know anything about her and she's an Argent, she wouldn't be the first one going around killing people." That's when I backed away from their room.

I didn't feel like walking back to our room so I walked towards the highway and I stopped abruptly seeing someone that I never thought I'd see again. "Mom?" I asked looking at the redhead standing a few feet in front of me.

"Alexandra," she said with a smile as she stepped closer.

"You died," I said stepping back from her, her smile dropped.

"You were supposed to too" she said before swiping the knife she used before against me, I back up quickly.

"What are you doing?" I asked

"I can't let you live not after what you did."

She kept coming closer and closer until I had no choice but to fight back, the fight was over quickly when she found an opening and the knife was sitting in my abdomen, I gasped in pain. "I should've killed you when I had the chance, Your father never should've saved you. You're worthless." I knew these words weren't supposed to hurt me but for some reason, they stung more than anything I've ever felt and I gave up and closed my eyes as she whispered the same thing over and over again until I believed every word she said. Then suddenly they stopped the knife was gone and so was my mother. I wiped the burning tears away and started back towards the motel. I walked to my room and grabbed a ring dagger from my bag before walking into the bathroom. My hands shook as I held it towards my wrist and then there was a knock on the door.

"Lex, are you okay? we need your help." I heard Allison say. I decided to move the dagger to my neck after realizing that it would be quicker. The door opened slowly revealing my sister, Lydia and Stiles. "What are you doing?"

"What our mother couldn't" I answered with tears running down my face.

"Don't do this Lexi," Lydia said.

"Why not? There's no point," I said "there's no point in fighting anymore, I tried to help and people keep dying,"

"There's a point, I need you, I just got you back," my sister said.

"Stiles was right you guys know nothing about me, you don't know what I'm capable of," Stiles' eyes widened.

"Let me get to know you," he said, " I know you're not a bad person, that this isn't you, I know that you were willing to get hurt to save someone you didn't even know, Scott told me about what you did for Isaac." My hand shook as I pushed it closer to my neck. "This is just someone in your head telling you to do this."

"What if this is me?" I asked.

"If you put the knife down I can help you," my sister said, she looked to stiles and nodded for him and Lydia to leave. I closed my eyes as she walked closer to me, I felt her hand on mine as she pulled the ring dagger away and when it was out of my hand I fell to the floor, breaking into a sob. She put the knife down and hugged me. "It's okay Lexi, you're okay." That's when we heard an explosion, I looked up at her before running to the door seeing an open flame with Scott, Stiles and Lydia lying on the ground in front of it. We both ran down the stairs to make sure that they were okay.

"Are you guys okay?" I asked looking at them.

"We're okay," Scott answered. "We are not sleeping in this motel,"

"Damn right, let's go get our stuff," I said offering my hand to Stiles to help him up. He took it hesitantly then he pulled me into a surprising hug while mutters apologies to me. I smiled at him before going back into my room to grab my bags, I stopped before heading to the door, I turned around and kneeled in front of my black dagger that still was lying on the ground before picking it up and carrying it to the bus. I got on the bus sitting next to Stiles in the back.

"I'm sorry," he said.

"I know, but I need you to know I'm not the one sacrificing people. I don't have an ulterior motive," I told him. He didn't say anything so I pulled out my dagger that I was going to use earlier. "Here."

His eyes widened. "Why are you giving this to me?" he asked.

"This is the first dagger I made on my own," I traced my fingers on the shiny family symbol. "If I want you to trust me I have to tell you who I am and Why I am the way I am."

I explained to Stiles why I was living away from my family and how I grew up. After explaining to him we both fell asleep leaning against one another
