Give your heart a break ~ Scott McCall

The Divine Move pt.2

3rd PERSON POV

The Hales and the twins were sitting around the loft. And Cora hated waiting. She didn't tell Derek or the twins that there was a possibility that Ariadne could come back. "Lydia is with Scott we need to go" Aiden said as he stood up suddenly. "You guys are leaving? After everything you've done to try and join the pack, you're leaving?" Cora asked in disbelief. "Look, the one person willing to give us a second chance, is dead! Scott will never let us in the pack. And I want Lydia safe" Aiden said as Ethan slowly walked up to them.

"Really? Lydia would never run and hide. And Danny won't believe you" Derek said to the twins. "Because of Stiles?" Aiden asked with a hint of jealousy. "Because of Ariadne and Scott. Aria didn't risk her life for people to run and hide. She stood and fought for her friends, for her pack. This pack has been about one thing: people. They'll do anything and everything they can to save the people that they care about. You wanna be in the pack? Stand up and fight!" Derek demanded. Clapping soon heard made everybody turn their heads.

"Derek, I didn't know you had it in you. I loved the little part about me. I always knew you cared" Ariadne now stood in front of the group with a slight smirk on her lips. She looked the same, except her clothes were different and her hair was pulled out of her face. Cora was the first person to hug her. "You're here. You're alive" Cora whispered as she pulled away.

"I thought you died?" Derek said in confusion, but, nonetheless he still gave her a tight hug. "Well, I did promise to keep fighting. Did you think I stopped in the afterlife?" Derek fought off a smirk. "Never. I'm glad you're ok" Aria plastered a fake smile. Don't get her wrong, she was happy to be alive, that meant that she could see her family again. But everything about the myth was true. Something inside of her felt broken. Like a piece of her was missing. "The dead should stay dead" was her exact words to the pack in the school hallway not too long ago. But of course, they never listen.

"Oh, come on. I know you want a hug too" Ariadne opened her arm to the twins as the slowly, but surely, gave her a hug. "What are we doing? Are we finally stopping the nogitsune? 'Cause I have some unfinished business with that asshole" she turned back to Derek. "You aren't doing anything, but resting. We're meeting Scott and the others at school. They have a plan to stop the nogitsune" she scoffed and rolled her eyes.

"Are you kidding me? I hate to tell you guys this but, you're outnumbered. You and Cora are the only ones out of the four of you who are up to fighting speed. You'll need me. Our blades can kill an oni. Unless you guys are secretly shadow hunters, you can't touch our swords" Derek huffed and look to the teens for a little back up.

"If we're staying and fighting, we'll need her" Ethan said. "He's right, Derek. Anyways, she'll probably find a way to go" Cora agreed. "Great!" Ariadne clapped her hands excitedly. "Let's get this show on the road. Oh! Before we do go, we have to stop at my house first. And secondly, nobody texts anybody to let them know I'm alive. Until all of this is over" she said as she walked right back out the loft. The something that she needed, was something that could save a lot of peoples lives. The perks of dying does give you knowledge.

The group of teens got out of the Jeep and made their way to the doors of the school. "Scott, Oceanus, hold on. Before we go in there, I need to know, is she dead?" Stiles asked. And everybody knew who he was talking about. "What? Stiles, where are you getting this from?" Allison tried to play dumb. "I'm not an idiot, all right? I notice things. Like, how you guys haven't even mentioned her name, or how you haven't even checked in with her. Or the simple fact that she wasn't in the camp when I finally got there" Stiles stated.

"Yea... she's dead" Aries admitted. Stiles knew she was, but confirming it out loud made it harder for him to accept. He immediately took blame for this. She died trying to save Lydia, which the only reason why Lydia needed help was because of him. His best friend was dead and he couldn't say goodbye.

"I know what you're all thinking. If this works it might kill me, too. But, even if it does, you have to go through with it. Stick with it, ok?" Stiles looked at the group with pleading eyes. "The plan is to save you. That's the plan we're going with" Oceanus said. God, he was really hoping this was going to work.

Ariadne was back at her house. She packed a few weapons and stuffed a few knives into her shoe. Two swords on her back as she stared at her dads closet. Being dead for an hour or so definitely had it's perks. Being dead was, like, being in a collective brain made up of different people. And if you think about a certain thing, a memory will play. So here she was, standing in front of her dads closet. She knew where the rings were but she didn't understand why she was being so hesitant.

"Just grab them. They can be a lost resort, type of thing. Ok, here we go" Aria talked to herself as she dug in her dads closet to find the box with the rune to trace over on the top. "I'll take two" and she took the rose gold rings with the silver band and stuffed them into her pocket. "Just in case" she repeated to herself. Ariadne was hoping that nobody was going to be close to death, but just in case, she only hoped that no more than two would get hurt.

"What did you need?" Aiden asked curiously as he looked over at her. Derek and Cora looking back at her through the mirror. "Some weapons. When I kill the oni, the blade will shatter, causing me to use another one. And fair warning: You fight together on this. They're strong and evil, they'll kill you even if you think you have them. Don't ever let them or something distract you" she warned. This time, she had a different mindset going in. Everyone of them were killers, except Cora. She hadn't taken a life yet, but she'll do it if she has to with no hesitation.

They were going into this with a killer mentality, and that's exactly what they needed to put a stop to the oni and the nogitsune. And believe, the nogitsune will feel Ariadne's pain, and then some. He costed her, her own life. Nothing is going to stop her from ending this once and for all.
