30.

"You're alive", Cora shouted happily when she saw Derek moving towards the pack. He was wounded but his heart was still beating. Ennis was dead. The siblings quickly hugged each other, then the alpha stepped towards the others.

Scott and Lydia sat next to Allison. Her boyfriend held her in his arms, while Allisons blood was all over him, from the vampire bite.

"Where is she?", Derek said with a shaking voice. Somehow he already had a feeling what must've happened. But Derek didn't want to believe it.

No one said a word. Not even Stiles. He was walking in circles while biting his nails.

Finally Peter spoke up:"She left, Derek. She turned her humanity of and went with the alpha pack".

"No!", Derek screamed and ran to Stiles, to push him against a wall,"What happened?!".

"What Peter said", Stiles said with a sad voice. He also denied that Jolene would just leave them alone. In fact he hoped that she would come back. But she didn't.

"She turned her emotions of?", Derek asked and he dropped Stiles. The tenseness in his body faded. Somehow he finally faced reality.

"Jolene said so, but I don't believe her", Stiles shook his head,"She was different but not like she would've turned her humanity of".

"We have to find her", Derek said with an alert voice, but no one answered or even wanted to help him. Maybe Stiles, but he couldn't do a thing. Everyone was devastated from the fight. No one wanted to fight again after they just lost.

"Scott?", the alpha said and faced the omega, who's still holding onto Allison.

Scott just shook his head:"Allison is bleeding out. I can't leave her alone".

Derek rolled his eyes and grabbed Scott at his collar to drag him away from Allison, who was now held by Lydia.

"Why?!", he hissed,"Jolene sacrificed herself to save your fucking lives! Now she needs our help!". Derek didn't even believed his own words anymore. He sounded like Scott somehow.

"Because I love Allison!", Scott screamed, but you could hear the Ambulance for Allison from the far already,"I can't leave her alone! She needs me!". The omega freed himself from Derek's grip.

"Your little teenage crush means nothing!", Derek shouted even louder,"You're not in love Scott. You're 17 years old!".

Scott didn't know what to answer, when he realized that Derek loved Jolene and he's about to loose his lover again. Just like with Paige. Peter told him about that.

"We'll find her", Scott nodded.

The pack left the bank and went to Derek's loft. Only Lydia and Allison stayed in the beacon hills bank for the ambulance.

"Where could Jolene be?", Scott asked the group, which only existed out of Stiles, Derek and Scott himself. Isaac, Erica and Cora were recovering from the fight. And you couldn't really count Peter in.

"Home", Stiles said after some time,"Deucalion said something about going home".

"And where is that?", Derek asked annoyed.

"I have no idea", Stiles shrugged, but took a cell phone out of his pocket,"But I bet Klaus knows".

"You want to call the original hybrid?", Scott said shocked,"When he finds out what happened, he would kill us".

"It's the only option we have", Derek nodded,"Call him".

Stiles searched for Klaus number in Jolene's phone, that he found in the bank after the fight. Jolene must've lost it.

"Hello love", Klaus voice was heard through the speaker,"It's been about time. I thought you forgot about me".

"Here is Stiles", he answered,"Jolene is gone".

"What?! She's dead?!".

"No she left with the alpha pack and Jolene said she turned off her emotions. Only to save our lifes", Stiles stumbled,"And we need to know where she's from. Like where you found her and turned her".

"She told you?", Klaus said, because he certainly didn't expect Jolene to tell anyone about her past.

"Yes and we think she's there", Derek answered aggressive,"So tell us".

Klaus gave them the address and after a road trip in Derek's Camaro (Stiles wanted to drive the jeep but it would've been to slow) they arrived in front of a beautiful house in the suburbs.

"We're gonna go inside", Scott said and pointed to Stiles,"Derek you stay here".

"Why?".

"How are we going to explain why an old man wants to see where Jolene lived three years ago before she died?!", Stiles rolled his eyes, making Derek shut up.

With shaking hands Scott knocked at the white door. After a few moments a man opened the door and stared at the boys with disbelief:"What are you doing here?".

"Are you Mr Diaz?", Scott spoke up with a smile on his lips.

"Yes", Jolene's father answered and pointed to the sign, where 'Diaz' was written,"Just read". Scott's smile faded.

'He's so Jolene's dad' Stiles thought and had to suppress a smile.

After no one of the boys answered, Mr. Diaz closed the door again. But he wasn't able to fully close after hearing Stiles say:"We're here because of Jolene".

"What?", the man said confused. He didn't hear the name of his daughter for a few years.

"We've met Jolene a few years ago on a festival", Stiles lied, but he knew from Jolene, that she liked to go to them,"And we just lost contact. So when we drove by, we decided to give her a quick visit. Is she home?". Scott nodded his head.

"It's best if you come inside for a moment", Jolene's dad said and let the boys enter. They sat down in the living room and he called his wife. Mrs Diaz made Stiles and Scott a tea and sat down with them.

"You've been friends?", she asked with a nostalgic smile.

"Yes exactly", Scott smiled.

"Well I'm sorry you didn't know", Mr Diaz said,"But Jolene died about three years ago".

"What?", Stiles gasped and Scott just sat there with his mouth open.

"They only found her blood, but never her body. But the amount of blood was enough to say that she's dead", the man explained and put his arm around his wife's shoulders.

"Oh we didn't know", Scott said,"We're so sorry".

"She was a great girl", Jolene's mother said smiling,"I miss her every day".

While Scott continued to talk to Jolene's parents, Stiles stood up and took a look around. He couldn't stand talking about Jolene like she was really dead even though she was somewhere out there.

Stiles took a closer look to the pictures on the chimney. On one was Jolene cheerleading. He didn't know she used to be a cheerleader. Stiles realized how happy Jolene looked, before everything that happened, happened.

"Are you alright young man?", Mrs. Diaz asked, when she saw Stiles staring at the picture of their lost daughter.

"I just miss her", he said under his breath.

The three drove back to beacon hills without any benefit from their trip.

They didn't know I was here the whole time. I was in the house across the street, watching Derek sit in his car, with his fingers drumming on the steering wheel.

I missed them too. I couldn't stand being with the alpha pack. It smelled like wet dog. And Allison was on my mind. I wanted to know if I killed her. Because if I did, I couldn't forgive myself killing Scott's love.

But when I heart Deucalion talking about Scott, Stiles and the others, I wasn't able to keep quiet anymore. I snuck out at night, so the alpha wouldn't realize I was gone. I wanted to warn them back in Beacon hills. They had to forget about me.

But things never work out the way you want them to.

"What are we going to do now?", Isaac asked, leaning on the table in Derek's loft. He was almost fully healed, like the others.

"I have no idea", Scott shook his head. There was nothing they could do. They didn't even know where the alpha pack was right now.

"We've lost", Stiles whispered to himself. He tried not to think about it. But there was no other solution. 'Jolene sacrificed her own life, kinda human life, for us' he thought.

It hurt him that I was gone, I could see it on his face and feel it in his energy. But Derek was even worse. He fell into a depressive state that was nothing new for him. 'It's just like with Paige, maybe even worse, because Jolene isn't dead, but she probably feels that way', he thought.

And it hurt me, being the reason why he was like this. Why everyone was in pain somehow. I've hurt most of them by leaving and I've hurt Allison because I didn't leave earlier.

One thing I hoped was, that me seeing them one last time right now, wouldn't make everything worse.

I stepped out of my hiding place and everyone stared at me. My heart was beating like crazy, when Derek ran to me and wrapped his strong arms around my body. I hugged him back and I had to suppress my tears. I didn't want to let him go ever again.

"You're back", he whispered in my ear and I shook my head, making him step back and glare at me.

"I just wanted to warn you", I said. I wasn't able to look at Derek, so my gaze was trembling across the room,"You have to stop looking for me. I'm fine and I'll be back, as soon as I can".

"Stiles was right", Lydia sobbed,"You really didn't turn it off". I just nodded. I couldn't answer without me crying too, after seeing Lydia with tears streaming down her rosy cheeks.

Stiles moved closer with a shocked face. He couldn't believe I was here. Right in front of him.

"You can't leave again", Derek said, making me face him again.

He grabbed my hand but I had to shrug it off:"I have to. I am so sorry".

"Don't be sorry", he whispered in my ear as he was hugging me one last time. Derek gave me a kiss on the forehead and then I saw Stiles and I couldn't help it but smile.

"I was right", the human said with a wide smile. I nodded and pulled him into a tight hug. He was the one person I was able to bond with in the first place.

Stiles would always have a place in my heart no other human could have, because he was the only human, who never ever betrayed me. Everyone else proved me that humans are betraying creatures, who always put themselves first. Except Stiles.

"Keep an eye on everyone okay?", I asked, still with our arms wrapped around each other,"And how's Allison? I didn't want to hurt her, Stiles".

"I will and don't reproach yourself Jolene. Allison is going to be alright", he answered,"Be careful, please".

"And if someone misbehaves just hit them and say it's from me okay?", I laughed but you could hear the pain in my voice. He chuckled too and agreed.

Then I pulled out of the hug and pulled a bracelet of my bag. It was made of leather and had a small charm on it. I explained as I was putting it on Stiles arm:"It has vervain in it. Promise me you'll always wear it. It keeps you safe".

"Thank you", Stiles answered and pulled me into another hug, because he was trying to hide his tears. And I did too.

But then my heart skipped a beat, when I heard them. I knew it. I knew it from the start. Nothing works out the way I wanted it to.

I hugged him a little harder and then pushed Stiles behind me. He didn't know what was coming. But then Deucalion and his pack members entered.

"I knew it Jolene", Deucalion laughed devilish,"You never turned you humanity off".

"How would you know?", I answered with a deathly stare.

"I will know", he smirked,"I brought some friends with me to help".

"Jolene!", his so called friends screamed my name. I could recognize the sound of their voices from everywhere, but I couldn't believe it. Then I saw them. My parents. He had my parents.
