~~~Scott's POV~~~

The hunters were still shooting at all of us and all anyone could do was take cover. With every shot, the hunters came closer to us. In the corner of my eye, I see a hunter aiming a gun right at me. I turn with a look of shock on my face. I was frozen. I didn't know what to do. 

Right, when the hunter was going to pull the trigger a blue jeep pulled up and rammed into the side of the hunter making him fly into the air. I looked into the jeep to see my best friend. 

"You didn't think you were doing this without me, did you?" A smile broke out on my face. 

"Without us?" Derek walked up next to the jeep. I was in shock. I was also happy. Derek growled and lunged forwards at the hunters that were coming for him. With their help, everyone left their spots and started to fight. Except for me. All I could think about was Deucalion. His body was laying limp. I crawled to him and saw a little bit of life in his eyes. I grabbed his hand and held onto it as the gunshots stopped and the sound of a car engine took over. 

"Gerard's-" he took a pause "biggest fear i-is not beating you." I can feel nothing but guilt when I look at him. If I didn't ask him to be here this wouldn't have happened. His breathing started to grow short, then his eyes widened as if he remembered something. "Fi-find her. Save L-Lar." That was all he could get out before all life left him and his hand fell out of mine. I stood up wondering what he said until I turned around met Derek's eyes. 

I walked up to him and brought him in a bro hug. 

"As much as I love the impromptu family reunion, what are you doing here?" Peter asked Derek. Derek and I broke away from each other and he turned to look at Peter. 

"I found a pack slaughtered in Brazil. There were two words written with blood on the walls, 'Beacon Hills'." While he spoke I turned to look at Deucalion body. Running through my mind was what he was trying to tell me. 

"You came back for Beacon Hills?" I questioned. That didn't seem right. 

"No, I came back for Loralie and you." I furrowed my brows. Loralie?

"Speaking of. Where is she? She said one to two days and I thought I would have seen her already." I turned to Malia. I was overly confused as she questioned Derek. 

"Wait. None of you have seen her?" Everyone shook their head. "The night you called she immediately hopped on a plane and left. I stayed in South America with the kids." 

"Oh no." Everyone turned to Lydia. "I had this feeling. She was calling out to me. If we don't find her she won't-" her sentence was cut off but the radio in Stiles' car going static, then the voice of Gerard came through. 

"Blood and destruction. Dreadful objects so familiar. All pity choked with custom of fell deeds. Caesar's spirit, raging for revenge. With Ate by his side come hot from hell. Shall in these confines with monarch's voice. Do you know the rest, Scott? Do you know you're Shakespeare?" Loralie would. Was the only thing I could think about. She would snatch the radio out of my hand and finish the rest then tell him off or threaten him. Derek reached out and nodded. I handed it to him and he spoke into it. 

"Cry, 'Havoc!' and let slip the dogs of war." He finished. 

"War indeed. Welcome back, Derek. Must feel nostalgic. Are you pleased with the family reunion? Or not so much. I have some visitors for you. From London, Jackson Whittemore. He just had to come down. Say hello." There was a small moment of silence, then the sound of Jackson grunting out in pain filled the car. There was another silence then the sound of a door opening. 

"I'm alre-already dead. L-Leave me alo-alone you bastard." I froze at the sound of the voice. Her voice was scratchy and broken. 

"Guess it's not much of a family reunion without one of the key players. Mrs. Hale, care to speak. Or not, you guys pretty much did the damage. She's covered in bullet holes and I'm standing in a giant pull of blood. She isn't healing which isn't a good sign, there's not much left to her." The sound of electricity then the scratchy half scream half growl filled the air. I can see Derek wince and his grip on the door tighten. "You can find these ones at the armory. Your dad in a prison cell. The hellhound at Eichen house. Liam and his friend are at the hospital. This is me waging war. You can try and save them, you may even save a few. Tick-Tock Scott. Otherwise, she won't live to see her daughter's wedding day." Then the line went dead. 

I close my eyes can control my breathing. When I open them again Derek and Peter made eye contact and I can tell they are thinking the same thing. 

"Derek we'll get her. Right now we need to gather and come up with a plan before this all goes downhill. Malia put her hand on Derek's shoulder and pull him back so he can breathe. I grabbed my phone and called Theo. He agreed on causing a distraction at the hospital so we can figure everything out.

~~~Loralie's POV~~~

I feel tears fall down my face from the words Gerard told Scott. If I'm being honest I believe him. I don't think I'm gonna live to see another day. 

Gerard squeezed my face in his hands and looked me dead in the eye. 

"Why are you like this?" Pain shoots through my body from all the wounds. I feel my eyes shift colors. He quickly let go of my face and backed away only to slip on my blood and fall. "Monster. This is why I'm doing this." He stands up and walked out of the room. I breathe in and out trying to keep open my eyes. If they came hopefully it will be on time and I will scream bloody murder if I have to just to get their attention. 

The pain was too much and I couldn't do it anymore. I can hear someone talking, but I can't talk or move let alone hear. My lids start to grow heavy and then they shut and I can feel my whole fall limp and the chains keep me from falling face first to the floor. 

~~~Stiles POV~~~

We ran into the armory. I was behind Lydia as she started to take down all of the guys. When everyone in front of me was down on the floor I ran to the door and kicked it down. 

"Jackson?" 

"Stiles?" 

"Jackson?" I turn and see Lydia staring at him. Oh no. 

"I covered that already." She ran into the room and jumped into his arms. His hands got a little low making me protective. 

"Ok, watch your hands. Ok." I pulled them apart and stood in between. 

"You did that?" Jackson asks pointed the grip of men lying unconscious on the floor. 

"Yeah, I did that." Lydia was smiling and panting at the same time. 

"I kicked down the door." Jackson gave me a small look then went back to Lydia. "Now, let's find Loralie and get out of here." 

"Yeah, but we have to get Ethan." 

"Ethan? What's Ethan doing here?" Lydia asked as we followed behind him. 

"He's with me." 

"He's with you?" 

"Yes. Me." 

"Ethan?" I questioned

"Yes. Ethan." 

"With you?" 

"Yeah." Then I realized something. I looked to Lydia just in time to see her reaction as everything clicked. 

"Oh my gosh. I thought you would never figure it out." Jackson let out a laugh along with Lydia. 

"Can we go now?" We all nodded and made our way to another door. 

"We should split up. Stiles get Loralie and we can get Ethan." I blew out some air and nodded. I turned around and made my way into the other door. I looked around but found nothing. I threw up my hands then turned around. I went to the door where we found Jackson and saw another one. I held onto the knob and assumed the worst. I pulled the door open and instantly choked on air. I can feel the tears build up in my eyes. She was hanging from the ceiling. Her head was hung low and her hair was sticking to her face. There were multiple holed in her clothes that were leaking blood. Under her was a huge pool of blood. I looked down and realized that I was stepping in it. I heard the chains move and instantly ran to her not caring if I ruined my clothes. I cupped her face in my hand she had tears running down her face. She opened her eyes and met mine. 

"Stiles?" her voice was shaky and scratchy. "Please help me." she cried out. Her voice was breaking constantly as she sobbed. 

"I am. I'm gonna get the keys and get you down." I let go of her and ran out of the room. I was covered in blood since we were in contact. I found Ethan, Jackson, and Lydia having a laugh, but it all stopped when they saw me and the blood. "We need keys. Now!" They all ran after me as I made my way back to the room. I wrapped my arms around her waist to relax her body. She was just hanging lifelessly. 

"Oh my gosh." Lydia turned away and looked to Ethan who ran to help hold her up so her arms weren't holding all her weight. Jackson ran in the room. 

"Loralie!" he called out. He got on his knees and the blood was already covering him. He unlocked her feet and I Ethan lifted her up higher. Jackson reached up and unlocked her right arm. It fell down and I wrapped it around my neck. With a small amount of strength, I can feel her holding onto my shirt. Jackson threw the keys to Ethan who automatically unlocked the other arm. She fell and put all her weight onto me. I stumbled a little but caught her. I let her legs touch the ground then picked her up bridal style. "Let's go now," Jackson said. 

We all ran out and got into my jeep. Lydia and Jackson were in the back with Loralie while Ethan and I were in the front. I was speeding to drop them off at the high school as Lydia told me to do. We were halfway there when Loralie shot up and let out a scream of pain. I swerved on the road and Ethan reached over to hold the steering wheel in place. In the rearview mirror, I can see her eyes were red and black. She had black blood leaving her mouth. 

"It's th-the bonds." She groaned out. 

"I remember when this happened. I thought you had it under control." I told her.

"I di-did, bu-" She trailed off. 

"They injected her with wolfbane. She's weak she has no control. That's why she can't heal, even if it is someone else's wounds." Ethan explained. 

"Is that what this is." Ethan turned around and in the mirror I see Jackson pull down her leather jacket and a part of her shirt to show what looks like a gunshot, but yellow fumes were leaving it. 

"Yes, except that Wolfsbane will kill her. With the wolfsbane in her body, there's no helping her. We could burn it out, but none of us have that material." 

"Hold on Loralie," I whispered out and stepped on the gas. In about two minutes I drifted into the parking lot of the high school. Everyone got out except me and Loralie. She was in the backseat unconscious. They took off her leather jacket and layed it over her. I drove off to the clinic so I can get the mountain ash. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I ran out of the clinic with the jar of mountain ash. I run into the front seat. The car was still running so I just closed the door and stepped on the gas. With how fast I was going it only took about three minutes to get there. 

When we parked I stepped on the gas pretty hard with made Loralie wake up. She sat up and let out a groan. She hunched over and put a hand to her eyes. She let out a loud scream. I jumped out of the car and closed the door. I went to the passenger side and opened the door for her to get out. I helped her climb out of the car and I noticed the blood falling from her eyes. When I wrapped my arms around her she shook her head. 

"I'm ok. I'm right behind you." I nodded and we both started to run. Or at least I thought she did. I ran to the library and opened the door. The Anuk-ite turned to me as I threw the jar on the floor. It burst open and when it reached his feet it started to rise and swarm around him. He kind of consumed it and in a matter of seconds, he disappeared. I ran to Scott just as Derek and Lydia ran into the room. I was on the steps in front of him. He was layed out back on the steps and his eyes were closed. He tore his eyes so he didn't have to see the Anuk-ite. 

Malia ran in and I backed off so she can see. 

"Scott, what happened to your eyes?" 

"I had to. I'm sorry." Scott turned to the sound of her voice and shook his head as she spoke. 

"Scott, you have to heal." Derek spoke up, "If your eyes stay like this much longer, the damage is gonna be permanent." I couldn't let that happen. 

"C'mon, Scott, concentrate." Malia had her hand behind his head. 

"I can't. I can't focus." the look on his face made it look like he was scared. He knew what was happening. 

"Hey, Hey. Look at me." Malia's voice was full of authority. "Yes, you can. Just concentrate." She cupped his face so he was facing her. 

"I can't. I can't." he shook his head. 

"Yes, you can. Scott, please just look at me." Malia was becoming desperate. I think we all were. Lydia grabbed my hand and I did the same. 

"Malia." Everyone turned to look at Lydia, "Kiss him." 

"What?" Malia looked confused like she didn't hear her correctly. 

"Kiss him," Lydia repeated. 

Malia turned to Scott and cupped his face again. In a desperate attempt to help she kissed him. I felt a tug on my arm and turned to see Lydia looked around. 

"Where's Loralie?" I looked around and my heart stopped. 

"She was right behind me." I guess the kiss made him focus because his eyes healed. I let out a sigh of relief and turned to Derek was staring at me and Lydia with a worried look. I knew it was for Loralie. 

"Ok, now where the hell is-"Derek was cut off when the door burst open. 

~~~Loralie's POV~~~

After Stiles left I tried to follow but I collapsed. I feel everyone's feeling and I can feel all the pain from my wounds. The best option would be not to move so I didn't lose so much blood and wait for them to find you. Or I could run in there with the little strength I have and see my husband. I obviously went for the latter. 

I couldn't stand up so I started to drag myself to what I hope was the door to the library. I can tell I was leaving a trail of blood behind me. It was a mixture of red and black but I just wanted to bust open the door. I feel my hand hit something which was a bench. I lifted my uninjured arm up on the bench and pulled myself up. I groaned as I stood up. I put my hand to the bullet hole. I can feel the yellow wolfsbane kicking in especially when I started to cough of black blood. I turned over and let it out and I can hear it hitting the floor. I struggled to stand. When you lose your eyesight it's kind of hard to know where you're going. 

I put a hand in front of be and started to walk forward. I stumbled and almost tripped a couple of times. When I felt the door I pushed it open. I can hear everything go silent and I fell to my knees. 

"Loralie!" Derek. I let the tears fall down my ruined eyes and I open my arms. He wraps his arms around me and holds me. I wrap my arms around him I can feel the blood rising in my throat. I push him away and turn to the side to throw up the blood. 

"It's her bonds. They injected her with wolfsbane so she has no control. She can't do anything. Our wounds are her wound." Stiles spoke up for me. 

"Loralie, I'm so sorry." I hear Scott say. I shake my head and give a small smile. 

"I-I- This is a f-f-flesh wound." I feel Derek lift me up and carry me. 

"We need to take her to the hospital." Their voices started to get fuzzy and I can hear and feel the movements but I couldn't do anything. I weakly lift my hand and place it on Derek's chest. 

"I-I love you." That's all I can muster up. It's all I can finish saying before everything turns off. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I groan try to turn over only to have a couple of hands gently hold me down. 

"Loralie, you can't move." Stiles

"You aren't finished healing." Scott. I hear the door open and then I can feel it. I can feel the presence of my mother. 

"Ok, if this works right her eyes should at least be healed." I can open them, but I obviously see darkness. I feel her put her hand on something behind my head. A hand went to my back and held me as another hand went to my stomach. I can start to see light then through the small holes in the wrapping I can see people. I can see the white of the hospital and the blue of my gown. I can see. I let out a sigh of relief. When my Mom finishes I wrap my arms around her, but immediately stop when I feel pain all over my abdomen.

"She can see?" an unfamiliar voice asks. I sit back down and the bed was adjusted so I can sit up now. 

"Yeah." I saw as I look to the teenager. "Who the hell are you and why are you in my hospital room?" Scott laughed and shook his head. 

"Theo. Who are you?" 

"What? You don't see the similarities between me and my fraternal twin?" I joked and grabbed Scott's hand. "I'm Loralie." 

"Oh, you're a McCall. I should have known." he smiled. 

"Well, yeah. Now I'm a Hale though. I'm married and I-" I cut myself off short and look at Scott. "Derek. Where is he? Where are the kids?" 

"They're fine." My Mom answered. "The twins wanted to go eat so Derek just took all three of them." I blew out some air and layed back. I nodded and relaxed. I hear footsteps nearing the door which makes me look to the door and in walked my daughter. She looks around and stops. She looks at Theo and smiles a little smile. She turns and when she sees me she runs to the bed. 

"Mommy!" my Mom helps to lift her up on the bed. She lands on my stomach making me flinch. I wrap my arms around her and pull her off my stomach. 

"Talia!" Derek ran in with the boys in his hand. When he sees me awake he walks over to the bed and puts the kids on the bed. He leaned forward and wraps his arms around me. I do the same and we just hold each other for a while. 

"Dad." Talia pushed him lightly making him chuckle. Derek pulls up a chair and sits down on it. He picks up Jayden, the newborn baby, and put him on his chest and pats the babies back softly. Talia was messing with the necklace that Erica had given to me while baby Derek played with Scott. 

Theo pulled up a chair and sat down near the bed and looked at the kids. Talia looked at him and smiled. She turned to me stood up. I held onto her to make sure she didn't fall. She got in my ear and whispered, "He cute." I laughed and threw my head back. I got into her ear and answered her. 

"Then go talk to him." she looked down at me. She scrunched up her nose and laughed shaking her head. "Why not?" 

"I scared." I shook my head. 

"He's nice. I can tell." she sat down and started to play with my hands and I can tell she was thinking about it. I can feel her emotions. I looked up and saw Theo staring at her. He had a smile on his face and I know he listened to the conversation. "Baby can you go sit over there while I check something." Talia looked up at me and then nodded. She crawled to the end of the bed where Theo was sitting. 

"Hi," he said. She looked up and smiled only to look down again. I turned to Derek and he was already staring at me. 

"I love you." I smiled and leaned forward and he met me halfway. We had a quick kiss and then pulled away. 

"I love you." he put Jayden on the bed and I scooted so the baby would fit. Derek held my hand as he looked down at the baby. This is what I needed. This is the life I always wanted. A life where I have people who are there. Where I can have my own family. I got it. The people in this room are my life. They are what helped me through my ups and down. No matter if I hurt them or they hurt me, we all made it. Well, most of us. I grabbed my necklace and closed my eyes. Though the people we did lose will always be with us. It could be in the biggest way possible or a smaller way. They are here though. Because we are a family. We will always be there for one another.

A/N: I am going to post an epilogue maybe tonight or tomorrow. I am thinking about bonus chapters so next chapter I will say if that will or won't happen. I will write more books after this and if anyone has any recommendation then I will gladly take them. I do already have lots of book ideas. Also, I might change my username, just a heads up. Hope you enjoyed.
