         Deciding to not leave Beacon hills I moved in with Lydia. My dad was opposed to the idea wanting to keep me with him but I felt the need to stay. Packing away my clothes I look at the apartment one last time. "Are you sure about staying ?" My dad asks while I nod after a few moments of silence. "I just want to finish my junior and senior year here." I say before I turn to him. "After that I'll move to Paris." I say while he shuts the door. Handing me a key I look up to my dad in question. "It's to the storage unit in town, I've left you a supply of weapons if you need them." My dad says and I nod taking the key from him. Waving bye I hike up the bag on my shoulder watching him drive away with Issac. Looking to my car I see Scott and Stiles leaning against it. Walking up to them I look to Stiles before dropping my bags and bringing him into a tight hug.

"It's not your fault." I whisper into his ear causing him to hug me tighter. "Now are you both ready to help me unpack ?" I say backing away before easily picking up my things. Putting my things into the trunk I shut the trunk while I wave off Scott and Stiles who will meet me over at Lydia's. Getting into the drivers seat I sit there for a moment before I close my eyes. Finally alone since the death of my sister all the emotions I held in come tumbling out. Crying I rub my hands together as a way to keep me grounded. "I'm sorry I wasn't able to protect you." I cry rocking back and forth. "I'm sorry I didn't try harder." I cry before I feel warm then cold all together. In the passenger seat sits my sister with a soft smile while tears fall from her eyes. "What ?" I question while she puts a finger to her lips before disappearing. Sitting there I slowly put the key into the ignition and back out of the apartment building heart racing I drive down the road in silence.

Pulling into Lydia's driveway I park the car and just sit there. "What was that ?" I question to myself before turning the car off and getting out. Shutting the door I grab what I could before I point back to my trunk for Stiles and Scott to get the things. Waving to Miss. Martin she smiles at me before I head upstairs to my new room. Seeing Lydia in there decorating it she turns and smiles at me. "Being you're best friend I took the liberty in decorating your room with the colors you like." Lydia finishes and I smile dropping my things to hug her. "Thank you." I say hugging her tighter while she does the same. "We will be okay Ariel, you will be okay." Lydia finishes while I step back nodding covering my tears before wiping them off. After hanging out with the pack helping me to unpack I'm to myself again.

"It's coming Ariel." Hearing the voice of my sister I look around the room before I'm trying to catch my breath. Grabbing my head I run my fingers through my hair in worry and exasperation. "What's coming Allison ?" I whisper into the quiet of the room.

"Your death." She whispers into the air before I don't hear her again. "Can't I just be normal ?" I say before there is a knock at the door. "Dinner is ready." Lydia says and I quickly meet her at the door. "Woah killer it looks like you seen a ghost." She jokes but I just ignore the statement looking her in the eyes. "That's because I have."

"What do you mean ? Lydia questions me after dinner while giving me looks all throughout the night. "I seen Allison, well her ghost she didn't say anything just pointed her finger to her lips before disappearing." I say while Lydia suddenly falls on to my bed in shock. "She said something else later tonight." I say sitting next to her. "She said it's coming." I say while Lydia looks at me. "What's coming ?" She asks softly while I look away from her and to the wall. "My death." I reply while she stands back up again. "We have to tell Scott so he can protect you." She says while I stand softly shaking my head no. "You can't avoid death no matter how much you want to." I say while she turns to me. "You can't die to Ariel." She says and I smile softly to her. "Death is only the beginning." I say before she starts to cry harder pulling me into a hug. "We will do all that we can to avoid it for as long as we can." Lydia says while I hug her tighter.
