Echo McCall

The teenager we took from Derek's loft wasn't acting as she should be, she isn't trying to attack us, she isn't trying to defend herself. She isn't acting normal. "Let me go" She didn't growl or snarl at me. She just said in a monotone voice. She was fed up, with what?

"Listen to me young pup. You are going to tell me the exact location of Derek Hale and the others, got it?" She shook her head. I smirked and whispered in her ear, "or I can try some wolfsbane in your system and see what that does." She looked up at me with a confused look. "What's wolfsbane going to do huh. It's a purple plant that maybe looks pretty and steals the bee's attention?" She hasn't been taught about her weaknesses.

"Wolfsbane poisons monsters like you. So I ask again or will I not have to?" She looked at me but she still wasn't scared. In fact, she burst out laughing. What? "You think!" She stuttered and laughed again. "That I'm a-! Hah ha. Guess you got the wrong person, you see I'm not one. So let me go!" I wasn't just going to let her go but if I killed her then Scott would come and attack us, so will his pack and Derek. Damn. I was still thinking when a loud roar came from outside the door.

"Let her go!" It was Derek. "Just the man I'm after! Now if you want her back you bring Scott and his pack to me." He debated my offer and eventually shook his head. "Even if I particularly don't like some of Scott's pack, giving up their location to you would be like handing them to satan." That was the last thing I heard before it all went dark.

I knew Gerard would take Echo here. He assumed she was a wolf from being in my loft, I knew I shouldn't have left her alone! I knocked him out and killed him. Yes I'm not describing his death, you don't wanna know...

"Echo, ECHO! Stay with me alright just-!" Damn it she's out! I got her free of the restraints and carried her out of there. 'There' being the Argent's basement. I got her to my loft where Scott and his pack are all waiting. Well more like playing video games on the tv. They must have gotten bored. I was about to pass out like Echo, there was pain in both my wrists and it was only getting worse. "Guys!" They all turned to look at me and that was the last thing I saw before I blacked out.

M A L I A

Derek passed out and I ran over to Echo while Scott went over to Derek. It's really weird that they both passed out at the same time, he didn't have any injuries. "Get Peter" I nodded and went upstairs. "Dad!" I called, he came out from his bedroom and looked over to me. "What do you need?" He didn't ask in a rude way but not concerned either. "Derek has passed out and Echo is injured. And your something called the most experienced wolf around here so, let's get to it!" I shouted, before dragging him down the spiral staircase. He moved out of his apartment and permanently lives with Derek now.

We got downstairs and Echo and Derek were now on the couches, still out of it. "How do we wake them up? We literally tried everything!" Scott yelled. I covered my ears and turned to Peter. Yes I don't call him Dad all the time. "Okay, I'll see what I can do" I nodded and pushed him towards the couch. He sat down and looked towards Echo. "Blood" He nodded and looked at her injured wrists. He then turned to Derek, he was perfectly fine. Nothing injured, not even a bruise.

Echo started tossing and turning and we all stepped away except Scott. "Come on we need to help her!" Peter sighed. "She needs to find an anchor. Something that she finds comfort in, a person or thing, emotions don't really work in this circumstance." We all nodded and Liam went over to her. "Echo, please wake up I'm right here!" Isaac went to her other side."Come on Isaac! If you don't work I don't know what will!" He nodded and turned to face her. "Echo, please could you wake up? Like the time when I nearly hit you with the door a couple of years back. I thought I'd killed you, but then, you just woke up!" Her tossing became even worse.

Even when Scott tried it didn't work. "Who does she trust the most?" He asked. Everyone looked at eachother. "She doesn't know Peter,  if Isaac didn't work, I doubt Malia will. Hayden isnt going to work if Malia didn't. Umm Stiles? No." Everyone turned their head. One person they didn't check. Derek. "Oh come on, they've met once, he can't be the answer!" Peter suddenly stopped. And went back to sniff her. "She's got Derek's scent all over her and Derek..." he turned to him.

His eyes widened. "Get her next to him now!" He shouted, Liam and Isaac reluctantly moved her and as soon as she was near him, she snuggled up to him and he wrapped his arms around her. They did all that in their sleep making everyone gasp.

"Why did he work?!" Nearly all of us yelled."There is something called mates, they're two people that are made for eachother, soulmates" Scott looked like he was about to kill someone. "No! I'm not letting my little sister near him!" Peter sighed. "Scott, I don't think you have a choice. You won't be able to stop them from seeing eachother."

"That's why Derek passed out the same time that Echo did, he could feel her pain but had no injuries!" Isaac and Liam both sided with Scott. "But I saw Derek walk away from her. He didn't do anything!" This time even I could figure this one out. "Well, he probably didn't want her getting hurt so he left her."

Echo started to slowly wake up. "Echo! Wake up I know you can hear me, just please wake up!" It was Isaac shouting, "Isaac?" She was still kinda half asleep. "Yeah, it's me" She smiled at him and got up, still oblivious to the passed out Derek next to her. She now seemed to be a bit panicked and jumpy. "Hey, are you okay?" She nodded. "I'm fine, just a bit jumpy, that's all" I nodded, not believing her. "Can someone just get me a glass of water?" Stiles left while giving her weird looks.

"What?" Scott was literally about to burst into a storm of rage. "YOU AND HIM! DEREK AND YOU!" She had on a confused face. "Derek and I mean nothing! What do you mean?! He didn't want me!" She was about to start crying her eyes out any second. Derek began to wake up aswell. "Scott?" He walked over to him and was about to punch him when I stopped him. "Hey Scott, stop!" He immediately turned to me then back to Derek. "STAY AWAY FROM HER!" Scott punched him hard in the face and Derek fell.

"Stop" Echo whispered. Scott kept going. "Stop!" She said a little louder that still didn't work. "STOP!" She screamed, Scott immediately stopped and Echo fell next to Derek. "Scott! If you carry on hurting Derek, you're going to hurt me too!" Scott went over to her but she scurried away towards Derek. I don't think she thought about it, her body took her to him. "Echo?" He questioned, she nodded at him and grabbed his shirt, "Derek, please!" His eyebrows knotted together in confusion. "Please, don't leave me again!" He put his arms around her again and she relaxed.

"Never"
