Over the summer Amara decided that she would join a club or a sports team. She had chosen cross country. Her main reason for joining was that she knew if you were on the lacrosse team, you have to join cross country which meant Issac would also be on the team. She found herself exercising and going on runs to get in shape.

Amara walked down the hallways to the locker room and she saw Stiles and Scott heading the same way. Stiles looked very distressed.

"What's is Stiles freaking out about?" She says as she walked up to them

"There are virgin sacrifices. Ok and guess what I'm a virgin."Stiles said

Amara rolls her eyes. There had been three murders over the past few days. They were all virgins and had the same injures; strangled, throat slashed and head bashed in. According to Stiles, it was something called a threefold death. "Stiles we don't know if these "sacrifices" are even sacrifices. Plus I'm a virgin and I'm not freaking out."

"Wait you're a virgin? But you're a  p-pre...never mind. Are you not worried? you know we can help each other out. So we won't be possible victims." Stiles said nervously

Amara shakes her head. She knew he wasn't actually trying to hit on her and he was just being Stiles. "Stiles I have a boyfriend so no. And even if I didn't it would still be no."

"You do realize that we can die because of the lack of sexual experience we had," Stiles said

"You do realize that it's a chance that this isn't even sacrifices and you're overreacting. If we continue this conversation I'll probably lose brain cells so I'm going to go," Amara said before walking into the girl's locker room as Scott and Stiles walked into the boy's locker room

Amara changed into sweatpants and a tank top. She put her clothes in her bag and put her bag in her locker. Her hair was now in a ponytail. She walked out of the locker room and saw Issac.

"Hey." She said

"Hi."He said, wrapping his arms around her shoulder.

They started walking out to the forest where the cross country practice was held.

Amara stood next to Issac as he tied his shoes. Suddenly two boys, twins walked past them with a smirk on their face. Amara raises her eyebrow in confusion. She had looked at Issac who was glaring at them as he stood up.

Scott came up to them. "Issac?"He asked worried

Coach blew the whistle and everyone started running.

"It's them," Issac said before running after them

"What's he talking about?"

"The twins they're alphas. They're  Apart of the alpha pack." Scott said before running to stop Issac

Amara shakes her head and started to run. She didn't try to catch up to them, knowing that she couldn't and that Scott will handle it. She kept a good pace.

"You're pretty good." A girl with ginger hair said next to her

"Thanks. I'm Amara"

"I'm Natalie, a senior. So do you want to be a part of the cross country team?"

Amara nods her head. "Yea."

"Cool," Natalie said

Amara smiled. Suddenly there was a scream. Natalie and Amara looked at each other before walking to it. The rest of the class did the same. A boy was hanging from the tree. It was the same injuries as all the other killings; strangled, throat slashed and head bashed in. She felt squeamish looking at the boy

Amara looked at Natalie. "Did you know him?" She asked

Natalie nods. "Yea we had a few classes together. I'll talk to you later" She said and walked away

The sheriff and his deputies came and tried to get everyone to move back. Amara noticed Scott and Issac were back and now standing by Stiles. She walked over to them. They all started walking away from the scene.

"You see how the twins looked at him?"Issac says

"yea you mean like they had no idea what happened," Stiles said

"No, they knew what happened, "

"The kid was strangled with a garotte, all right? Am I the only one realizing the lack of werewolfitude in these murders?"

"So you think that it's a coincidence that they just showed up and all these murders start happening"

"I mean Stiles does have a point. They aren't werewolf murders. If it was the twins  they would have bite marks and claw marks." Amara interjected

"Scott, how about you?"Issac says wanting to know his side

"I don't know yet," Scott said

"You don't know yet?"Stiles says

Scott looked at Stiles. "He's got a point. Seriously dude human sacrifices?"

"Scott, your eyes turn into yellow glow sticks, okay? Hair literally grows from your cheeks and if I were to stab you right now it would magically heal, and you're telling me you have trouble around the concept of human sacrifices."

Amara chuckles slightly. When Stiles put it that the whole human sacrifices thing didn't seem so extreme. Scott sighs. "That's a good point too," he said

"I don't care. They killed that kid. They killed the girl that saved me. And I'm going to kill them too." Issac said and walked off

Amara shakes her head. She looked at Scott and Stiles. "I'm going to try and talk some sense into him." She said before following Issac

"You can't just go after two alphas," Amara said

Issac looks at her. "Why not? They deserve it. "

"Because I don't want to see you get hurt. I want them dead too. They took part in killing Erica but you have to be smart about this."

***
Amara had been sleeping in her room earlier that morning when she heard a knock on her window. She groaned and got out of her bed. She looked at the window and saw Issac on the outside. She opened the window and watched as he climbed in.

"It is 5 in the morning. What are you doing here?" She whispers yells

Issac looks at her and sighs. "W-we found Erica's body in the vault. She's dead."

Amara shakes her head. "N-no no.  Sh-She can't be... " Amara stammered

He pulled her into a hug. She sobbed and shakes her head.

"But what about Boyd? Is he dead too... wasn't there a girl in the vault with him?"

"Boyd's ok. We found him and Derek's sister who Derek thought was dead but that's a story for another time."

"So that's it. She's really gone."
***
"Why didn't you agree with me?" He asked

"I didn't agree with you because it doesn't make sense. If you were a power-hungry werewolf would you kill like how that boy ended up?" She says trying to reason with him

"No, but it doesn't matter. I still want them dead." He said before walking off

Amara rolls her eyes and shakes her head before going back to school.

Amara didn't see Issac again until their Physics class. He was still focused on getting back at the twins.

"Let me find out why they're here," Scott said who was sitting at the table behind them

"Mr.Harris I have to go to the bathroom," Issac said

Amara watched as Issac got up and left the classroom once Mr.Harris nodded.

"I have to go to the bathroom too," Scott said

"One at a time." Mr. Harris said

"But I really have to go. Like, a medical emergency has to go."

"Mr. McCall, if your bladder exploded and urine began to pour from every orifice, I would still respond with one at a time. Is that enough hyperbole for you or  do you need me to come up with something more vivid"

Amara rolls her eyes. "Mr.Harris I have to go and I'm on my period. So I don't think you're going to be okay with blood everywhere."She lied

"Go ahead."He said in slight disgust just a loud bang was heard from outside the classroom door

Amara walked out of the classroom, along with the rest of the class. Issac was standing near one of the twins whose face was all bloody. He looks in shock and confused. She looks at him worried. She glanced down at his hands and didn't see any blood. Issac didn't do this she realized. She watched as Danny went over to the twin.

"He just came after me."The twin said

"Lunchtime detention." Mr. Harris told Issac before he went back inside the class

***
Amara stood outside the classroom door with him where detention was held.
"You were right.  I shouldn't have gone after them."Issac said

Amara nodded. "Yea. At least it's just detention and not anything worse."

"I should probably go inside. I'll see you later." He said and kisses her cheek

Amara watched as he went inside before walking to her locker. She opened it and puts in some of her books. She glanced at the small mirror she had and saw the twins standing right behind her.  She closed the locker door and tried to get past them but they blocked her path.

"Get away from me." She spat

"Or what? Going to get your little boyfriend to come after us."

"I'll say it again. Get away from me. You killed my friend if I had wolfsbane I would be shoving it down your throats."

"Amara. Amara Hart. You moved here just last year."One of them said

"How did you know that?"

"Doesn't matter but you know what I noticed. You're heart rate picked up when we said your name." The other twin said and just by his attitude she hated this one more.

"So?"

One of the twins got closer to her. She glared at him. She hated how she was felt intimidated by them,

"You're hiding something. Wonder if your friends know if your boyfriend knows" He says with a smirk then moved away from her

Amara walked away from them. She bites her lip and shakes her head. She saw Scott and walked towards him.

"Hey, you ok?"Scott asked

"Uh yeah. I just ran into the twins."

"Did they threaten you?"Scott asked

"No." She mumbles

Scott looked at her concerned. "You sure you okay."

She nods. "Yea. Thanks for checking up on me."

The two walked down the halls. She hated that she let the twins get into her head.

"Ms. Hart." She heard someone calling her

Amara looked and saw it was Ms.Morrell, the French teacher/school counselor."I need to see you in my office after school." Shel said

"Okay." She said even though she had no idea what s Ms.Morrel would want

She and Scott continued walking until Scott suddenly stopped.

"Scott, what is it?" SHe asked

When Scott didn't say anything and ran off, Amara followed him. When she caught up to him, Scott was moving a vending machine away from the janitor's closet.  She watched as Scott opened the door then threw a  half transformed Issac onto the ground.

Scott tried to hold him down. "Issac," He screams

Issac calmed down. He sat up and leaned against the wall. Amara watched as Allison came out of the janitor's closet holding her wrist. Scott went to check up on her while Amara knelt by Issac. While Issac and Allison were cleaning out the closet for detention, the twins had put the evening machine in front of the door.

Amara hugs him. "Are you okay?" She asked. She knew that he had claustrophobia and that was probably triggered his transformation.

He nods his head and hugs her back. "Yea I'm okay now."He said before looking at Allison

A long scratch ran across her wrist that was caused by Issac's claws. "I'm fine. It's okay." Allison said

"I'm sorry. I-i didn't mean to."Issac sad

"I'm okay," Allison reassured then looked at Scott. "It's not  his fault," Allison said

Amara looked at Issac who was still shaken up. She held his hand and squeezes it reassuringly.

"Now we know the twins want more than to get you angry. They want to get someone hurt." Scott said

"So what do we do?"Amara asked

"We make them angry. Really angry" Scott answered

They had come up with a plan to take a few parts out of the twin's motorbike.  Issac currently sat on one  Amara watched as Allison explained how to drive the motorcycle. Allison stepped away once she was done. Amara pulled out her phone. She took a picture of Issac to send to Scott so he could show it to the twins plus she like the picture.

"How do I look?"Issac asked

"Hot." She said and kisses him softly

Issac kisses her back and smiles into the kiss.
Amara pulled away "I'll see you in a few." She said

Amara and Allison started walking back into the building.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have gone after them when-" Allison said

"It's okay."She said cutting her off

"Wait really you forgive me."

Amara nods. "Yea. Erica's death made me remember lives too short. Things can change in a heartbeat and you might lose someone, you might not. I don't wan

Allison smiles slightly and the two continued to walk down the halls they rounded the corner. They sat Scott and Issac along with a few other students in the hallway. One of the twins was standing by the motorbike that Issac had driven in the school.

"Aiden. This is going to be a suspension." Ms. Blake said

Well, at least I know one of their names. When it was the end of the day Amara walked into the office nervously. She saw Ms.Morrell standing there with two people, a man and a woman with blonde hair sitting on the couch in her office.

"Ms.Hart. This is Erica's parents. They knew about your friendship with Erica and wanted to talk." She said

"Hi, Mr. and Ms. Reyes. It's uh nice meeting you. I wish it could've been under better circumstances." Amara said, looking at them

Amara sat in the seat in front of them. Erica looked just like her mom.

"It's nice meeting you too dear. We heard a lot about you from Erica. We were so happy she had finally found a friend."Mrs.Reyes said

Amara sniffles. "I-I'm glad I..." She says her voice breaking. "Uh, I'm glad I had the chance to be her friend while she was um here."

"Erica will be buried as soon as possible. We know it's fast but we were already planning on moving. We had started to lose hope so we wanted to move away from this town. At least there's some type of closure now, uh anyways we aren't going to be having a funeral here in Beacon Hills since none of our families live here but we would love it if you come by our house before next week. You can take some of Erica's things since they'll most likely go to charity." Mr.Reyes said

Amara wipes her face from the tears. "Sure."

"Our daughter loved you." Mr. Reyes said

Amara sniffles. "I- I loved her too," she said and looked at her parent's tear-stained faces. She knew that all of this was hard for them.

Mrs.Reyes passed her a piece of paper. "Here. That's our phone number and address. So you can tell us when you're coming by." She said

Amara nods slightly. She takes the paper and puts it in her pocket. She wrote down her own phone number and gave it to Mrs. Reyes. She gave Amara a small smile.

"We should get going. We have the burial figure out and a whole bunch of other stuff." Mr. Reyes said

Amara nodded. She stood up and gave both of them a hug. She watched as they walked out the office door. Amara sighs and lets the tears fall down her face.
"My office is always open for you to talk." Ms. Morrell said

Amara just nodded before walking out of the office. She sighs and walked into the bathroom. She looked in the mirror at her tear-stained face. She had a bad feeling there will be more tears in her future.
