Chapter Eighty-One
โšกMemory Lostโšก


At a crime scene, numerous police cruisers and an ambulance with flashing lights were parked as Sheriff's deputies mill around the scene. The radiator of a transport van that wrecked was hissing loudly as Stilinski walked over to it.

He ran his hands over the five long, parallel claw gashes in the paint of the van's hood, making him let out an exasperated face before walking over to the ambulance, where an EMT was in the middle of putting a brace on Stiles' injured fingers and hand while Scott and Sawyer watches.

"What in the hell were you three thinking?" He asked, making them awkwardly look at him. "We were just trying to help." Scott said, making Stilinski nod slightly, "Why don't you try and help me understand- what the hell happened here?" He asked.

"Right. Well, we were trying to gently persuade him to pull over..." Stiles said and Scott nodded while Sawyer nodded slowly, "Oh yeah, that was definitely gentle." She said, smiling with her brother, shot her a look. "He was getting away?" Scott asked sheepishly and Stilinski nodded, "He got away."

"Right! Because obviously he's some sort of criminal mastermind, Dad!" Sawyer said and Stilinski started leading them to the back of the van. "You want to guess what the stolen merchandise is? Hmmm?" Stilinski asked as he opened the doors to reveal that the back was full of large gas tanks and Stiles pursed his lips, "Critical life-saving medical equipment?"

"No." Stilinski said and Sawyer raised her eyebrows, "...Poison gas?" She asked. "Nope!" Stilinski said as he shook his head,
"...Filled with drugs...?" The twins both said. "Helium." He said, making the three teens stare at him for a moment before glancing at each other.

A few minutes later the three of them were back in the jeep, Sawyer driving while Stiles sat in the passenger seat and Scott in the back. "This could be a good thing." Scott said, making Stiles look back at him and scoff, "That we saved helium?" Stiles asked and Scott chuckled.

"I mean... That... They don't need us anymore." Scott said and Stiles scoffed again, "Okay, well, they need us. They just don't know it." Stiles said and Sawyer glanced over at him. "We're all going off to college soon... so, I hate to say it but Beacon Hills is gonna have to survive without us." She said and Stiles looked over at her, "Beacon Hills will burn to the ground without us." He said, making her chuckle and nod slightly.

"Stiles... They don't need us." Scott sighed. Just then, Stiles' phone started to vibrate, and when he saw who was calling, he became excited and held the phone up so Sawyer and Scott could see a call from Stilinski.

"Oh, they need us!"

Stilinski stood in his office with Alex, the young boy who was found in an otherwise-abandoned car. Scott, Sawyer and Stiles, in the doorway while they waited for what to do next. After a moment, Stilinski hesitantly walked up to Alex to explain what's going to happen.

"Alex... You know we're having trouble locating your parents. And, since you can't remember anything, we have a method- an unusual method- that might help you remember. But, I need you to be okay with it. I also need you to know that it's probably gonna hurt..." Stilinski explained.

Alex looked both scared for a moment before he set his jaw and looked at Stilinski with a determined expression, "I don't care. I just want to find my mom and dad." He said and Stilinski nodded in understanding before looking back at the teenagers.

They walked into the office as Stilinski begins closing the blinds so no one could see what they're about to do. Scott kneeled down in front of Alex, who was still sitting on the couch, and comfortingly patted him on the shoulder.

"You ready?" Scott asked and Alex nodded, Scott nodded again before moving his hand to the back of Alex's neck before flicking his claws out. After a moment, Scott firmly shoved his claws into the base of Alex's skull, making Alex gasp in pain as they both close their eyes.

A few minutes later both Scott's and Alex's eyes shot open as Scott staggered backward. Stiles and Sawyer rushed over to help Scott while Stilinski checked on Alex, "I saw a guy on a horse..." Scott said, making Stiles and Sawyer raise their eyebrows. "A horse?" They asked at the same time and Scott nodded, "He had a gun."

Sheriff looks both confused and concerned by this revelation, "Okay, a guy with a gun? That sounds like our department, not yours." He said and Sawyer shrugged slightly. "Debatable." She said, making her father give her a look.

"What about his parents? What happened to them?" Stiles asked eagerly and Scott thought for a moment before frowning slightly. "I don't know. That's all I remember. But..." He trailed off before taking a deep breath and continuing, "I got this feeling..."

"What kind of feeling?" Sawyer asked and before Scott could answer, Alex spoke up, "They're coming back. They're coming for me."

Sawyer sat in the passenger side seat of the Turner family car with her eyes closed as Lydia climbed onto the driver seat. Lydia closed her eyes as well, taking a deep breath while holding onto the steering wheel before opening her eyes again and looking into the mirror with a hum.

Stiles flails awkwardly in the backseat before sitting up while Sawyer looked over at her girlfriend. Both twins looking at her with an eager expression, clearly expecting a revelation of some kind. "What?" They both asked but Lydia, still staring at her reflection, "This is a perfect shade for me. I forget the name." Lydia said making Sawyer lean forward to really see her makeup. "You look beautiful." She said making Lydia smile at her, "Thank you."

Stiles looked at his sister and Lydia with a mix of incredulity and exasperation, "Can we please stay on topic?" He asked and Sawyer sighed before sitting back in the seat and looking at her brother. "We've been at this for over ten minutes and no one is getting anything, Stiles." She said and before anyone could say anything they heard a coyote howl making them all get out the car to see a coyote running over.

Sawyer pulled out some clothes out of her bag right as the coyote turned into Malia. "I don't think they're dead." Lydia said as Sawyer handed Malia the clothes, "They're dead. Probably torn apart. The only thing I don't get is why there's no blood." Malia said, making Lydia shake her head. "They're not dead. If they were dead, I would sense it." Lydia said and Malia shrugged as she put on the clothes, "If they were alive, I'd smell it."

"I'm not getting any type of feeling or whispers." Sawyer said and Scott nodded in agreement, "Yeah, I'm not getting anything either." He said, making Stiles look at him exasperatedly. "Scott, what are you talkin' about? You were in his head for four minutes! I timed it." Stiles said and Scott shrugs, at a loss for options as to explain the evening's events, shrugs tiredly, "Well, it's not an exact science... And he's a kid. Maybe he's too freaked out to remember?"

"Why does it matter if they're dead?" Malia asked looking at Stiles confused, "Dead is dead, okay? If it's just a robbery, we can't help them. And, if it's something supernatural, my dad can't help them." Stiles said, making Sawyer raise her eyebrows at him. "Sounds like you want it to be supernatural..." She said and he shrugged slightly.

"It's been, like, three months since anything's happened." He said and Lydia scoffed lightly, "Yeah, and once a week, you make Sawyer drag me out of bed like I'm some sort of supernatural metal detector." She said and Stiles looked at her in offense. "Okay, it is way more often than that." He said, making her roll her eyes.

"You can't tell me that you think this is just some series of impossible coincidences?" Stiles asked and Lydia rolled her eyes, "What we're saying is maybe that wouldn't be so bad." She said before her and Malia walked away.

Stiles sighed and climbed into the driver side seat staring at the windshield, or lack of, as Sawyer climbed into the passenger seat and Scott leaned against the driver side door. "You're staring at a broken windshield." Sawyer said after a couple seconds of silence and Stiles sighed softly, "There's something wrong with it." He said and Scott shrugged.

"It's broken. And it wasn't a magic bullet. It was a regular bullet... that blew out a regular windshield." He said then gestured around at the other cars in the impound lot, "Just like that one... And that one..." He said started to trail off making Sawyer and Stiles glance around as well.

"...And that one..." Scott mumbled as they started to notice the large difference between Turner's windshield and the rest of the cars. The other car's windshields were all still intact with a bullet hole surrounded by cracks. But Turner's car looked like someone took a sledgehammer to it.

Sawyer pulled off one of the broken shards of glass from the frame and studied it, "Magic bullet..." She mumbled before handing it to her brother.

"So what do you think it might be?" Stiles asked as he sat on Sawyer's bed while she was getting her stuff ready for school. "What might be what?" She asked and her brother gave her a look, "What happened to Alex's parents." He said and she hummed and nodded slightly.

She pursed her lips as she stared at the wall, deep in thought for a moment. "Dragons." She said, making Stiles look at her crazy, "What- Dragons?! Can't you at least think of something a little logical?" He asked. "I started watching Game Of Thrones so all I want now is to see a damn dragon! Also- are you telling me a six foot lizard creature that has paralytic venom is logical, but dragons aren't?" She asked and Stiles just dramatically rolled his eyes.

He was about to say something but got cut off when they heard their father yell Sawyer's name, making her eyes widen. "Ah, fuck..." She mumbled as she glanced around the room, "What did you do?" Stiles asked before Stilinski walked in, leaning against the doorframe.

"What did you do?" Stilinski asked and Sawyer nervously raised her eyebrows slightly, "I don't know what your talking about." She said. The moment she said that, Anakin casually walked into the room, his rainbow dyed tail on full display. Sawyer just pursed her lips slightly as she looked at her father, "He's an ally?" She said with a slight shrug.

It's yearbook picture day at school and Malia was trying to get her picture taken. Key word being, trying. Stiles being the impatient person he is, couldn't wait long enough for Sydney to snap a single picture. Off to the side, Lydia, Sawyer. Anakin and Scott sat at a table, Lydia and Scott working on some school work while Sawyer was leaning her forehead against Lydia's shoulder as she mindlessly petted Anakin.

A moment later an annoyed Malia dragged Stiles over to the table. "You ruined it." Malia said as she sat down on the table next to Lydia and Stiles looked at her offended, "Why would I want to ruin your yearbook photo?" Stiles asked and Sawyer raised her eyebrows. "Maybe because you haven't signed up for your own photo yet?" She said and Stiles smiles smugly as he digs into his pockets.

"Yes, I did!" He said, pulling out a folded up sheet of paper and unfolding it before showing it to his sister, though he doesn't look at it for himself. "It's blank!" Sawyer said, making Stiles frown and look at the paper in shock and confusion.

"Or maybe you're sublimating the stress of graduating by avoiding key milestones?" He said making Sawyer, Lydia and Malia share a confused look before turning to stare blankly at Scott, and when Scott noticed the silence, he looked up at them and gestured toward them with the pen in his hand.

"Psych paper." He said and the girls nodded in understanding, "Ohh..." They all said and Stiles tries to redirect them to the task at hand, gestures wildly to get their attention. "Hey, the deputies searched the car. No slugs, no exit hole. And, the address Alex gave my dad? It's an abandoned house." He said and they all just raised their eyebrows.

"Come on! Missing parents? Suspicious guy on horseback? Magic bullet? Who's coming with?" He said excitedly and they all just shook their heads while Sawyer quickly raised her hand. "I will!" She said making Stiles point at her and went high five but Lydia spoke up.

"No, you have a history test that's worth a large part of your grade." Lydia said making Sawyer pursed her lips, "Is it an important kind of large though?" She asked, making Lydia give her a look. "Every kind of large part of your grades are important." She said, making Sawyer dramatically groan, "That's so boring..." She mumbled.

"I have to retake my photos." Malia said and Lydia pursed her lips, "Yeah... not interested..." He said and Stiles turned to Scott. "I cannot miss any more classes." He said making Stiles look very disappointed in his best friend and continues to protest as Scott tries to explain himself.

"Guys-"

"I missed thirty-eight last semester."

"Scott-"

"Lydia's mom is the only reason I'm still in school." Scott said before smiling at Stiles while shrugging, "We can go after school." He said. Stiles, offended by his friend declining his request to skip school and investigate immediately backtracks.

"You know what? Forget it. I'll take Liam." He said before turning to find Liam only to sigh when he finds Liam passionately making out with Hayden on a nearby park bench. After a moment, Scott, Lydia, Malia and Sawyer, even Anakin, looked over and Stiles sighed in annoyance as disgust.

"Yeah, I'm not taking Liam."

A second later Sydney walked up to them with her camera, "Can I get a candid?" She asked and Stiles shook his head. "Uh, no-" He started to say but Sawyer pulled him down to sit in between her and Scott. Malia, who sat on the table, scooted over so they're all in the frame.

Stiles sighed before pulling the shard of glass he found in the windshield the night before out of his pocket and handed it to Scott. "Okay, fine- if you can explain to me why this is blue, I'll let it go." He said and Scott looked at the glass with furrowed brows as he noticed the translucent greenish-blue color, but before he tried to think of how that would happen, Sydney snapped him out of his reverie.

"Everyone smile!" She said and Scott tucked the shard into his pocket and looked up at the camera as he, Lydia, Malia, Sawyer, Anakin and the reluctant Stiles smile before Sydney to took a photo of them.

"Thirty-nine?" Stiles asked as he, Sawyer, Anakin and Scott walked up to the school doors. Scott and Sawyer nodded in agreement but just as the double doors have closed themselves, they're opened again by Sawyer. She walked in front of the boys who were shoved back into the school by Natalie, clutching their shoulders tightly as she steered them through the doors with a stern expression.

"None of you are going anywhere. Thirty-eight classes, Scott. I had to beg the superintendent!" Natalie says as she lets go of the boys' shoulders while they all stop in their tracks and try to reason with her, "Natalie, Scott is the sworn protector of Beacon Hills!" Sawyer said and Natalie just looks at her unimpressed.

"He can protect it at 3:30."

The twins as the three and Anakin turn to walk back to their class. Natalie watches them as they walk away from her, and Stiles lowers his voice to whisper to Scott and Sawyer. "We're not waiting 'till 3:30."

A few minutes later they all sat in class watching a documentary that was pretty much boring for all of the students. Sawyer, Scott and Stiles are staring at the clock, and after a moment, Stiles squinted strongly at the clock and gestured with his fingers, as if he was trying to get the clock to move with his mind.

"Rider on the storm..." Sawyer heard a female voice whisper, making her furrow her brows as she glanced around. But she was quickly distracted by the bell ringing, making her, Stiles and Scott shoot up and run out the room. Sawyer quickly got up and kissed Lydia's cheek before running out the class with Anakin.

Scott, Stiles, Sawyer and Anakin pulled up to the Turner family's house in Stiles' Jeep and got out. They stare up at the house, which looked completely abandoned making them frown at the sight of it as they consider what they're dealing with.

"That's not creepy at all." Stiles said and Sawyer nodded, "Gotta be haunted, no doubt about it." She said before they walked inside and Scott shined a flashlight as they glanced around. The entire place was empty along with everything covered in dust and spider webs.

The floorboards creaked under their feet as they walked into the dining room, where two plates, two water glasses, and two wine glasses were sitting on the table. Like the foyer and living room, it was all covered in dust, spider webs and bits of dried up leaves.

After glancing around the room Scott turns to Sawyer and Stiles. "You wanna split up?" He asked and the twins looked at him as though he's lost his mind, "Uh, absolutely not." They both said before they walked up the stairs.

Like the rest of the house, the staircase was rickety and covered in cobwebs. Upstairs, they peeked into every room they pass, the rooms are completely free of furniture, decorations, or other personal belongings, they are at least clean and free of dust and cobwebs, unlike the downstairs.

"Maybe Alex got the address wrong?" Scott suggested and Stiles shrugged, "Or he lied." He said, making Sawyer glance at him confused. "Why would he lie though?" She asked as they kept walking down the hall until they made it to a room at the end. Sawyer slowly walked up to the door and opened it to reveal a clean, bright, and fully furnished bedroom of a typical pre-teenage boy. It is clear by the photos on the wall that this was Alex's bedroom making them all glance around confused.

"He didn't lie..."

"Why didn't the cops say anything about this?" Scott asked and Stiles slightly shook his head, "They don't know it's here. They can't come here without a warrant, and there's no owner of record to serve a warrant to." Stiles said and Sawyer nodded. "Unless there's some kind of threat or imminent danger, they wouldn't come in." She said and her brother nodded.

Before anyone could say anything a noise from downstairs caught Scott and Anakin's attention. "What?" Stiles asked, "I think I heard something." Scott said, making Sawyer. They both walked out the room, while Stiles stayed back.

Scott, Sawyer and Anakin walked downstairs and into the dining room and glanced around for a moment before Sawyer glanced back at the table making her eyes widen. "Scott." She said, making him look at her before following her line of sight. The dishes were no longer on the table, if it wasn't for the circles left behind in the thick layer of dust where the plates and glasses were just sitting, no one would know they had even been there.

They went to walk into the kitchen but the sound of floorboards creaking in a different direction made them stop and look back. They glanced at each other before quickly walking into the other room. But, as soon as they turn the corner toward the door, they nearly run straight into Liam and Mason, both of whom gasp in fright before realizing it was just Scott, Sawyer and Anakin.

"What- what are you doing here?" Liam asked and Scott sighed, "This is Alex's house. What are you doing here?" He asked. "This is where the compass led us." Mason said, making them look at him confused, "What compass?" Sawyer asked and Mason stepped forward, holding out a compass they had stolen from Mr. Douglas' cabinet at school.

Sawyer frowned slightly when she looked at the compass and saw that the needle was spinning around, seemingly of its own accord. "Why's it doing that?" Scott asked and Mason shrugged, "I have no idea." He said. Liam pulls his phone out of his pocket and looks at the screen before holding it out for them to see. The compass app has been pulled up, but the needle on it is also spinning around, with a "??" in the center where the direction should be indicated.

"They're all doing it." He said and Sawyer frowned slightly, "Compasses work by detecting the Earth's natural magnetic fields. Something is interfering with it." Sawyer explained, suddenly, the compass in Mason's hand spins so hard that the glass face shatters.

Before anyone could say anything they hear a thumping noise upstairs, making them instantly run up the stairs to find Stiles recovering from shock. "What happened?" Sawyer asked worriedly as she gently grabbed her brother"s arms, "He was here. He shot at me!" Stiles said, making them look at him worriedly and confused.

"It was one of the guys you saw in Alex's memory." Stiles said and Sawyer raised her eyebrows, "The guy who took his parents?" She asked. "No, no, no... They weren't just taken- they were made to disappear. That's why there's no furniture, that's why they weren't in any of the photos... They were erased." Stiles said before turning around and opening the door to Alex's room. They quickly walked in only to find the room completely empty, no desk, no bed, nothing on the walls. It was completely empty.

"Riders on the storm..."

Night has fallen, and Stiles, Sawyer and Lydia are walking together outside of the high school as they discuss what happened earlier. Before they had came back to the school, they had dropped Anakin off at home. While they walk, Stiles flipped through an old book as he skims the pages, "I keep feeling like it's familiar, you know? Like I've heard it before." Stiles said.

"Pensรฉe a civage? It's French for 'a lingering thought you can't reach'." Lydia said, making him sigh, "Okay, well, is there a French word for 'feeling an overwhelming sense of urgency and impending doom'?" Stiles asked and the girls thought for a moment.

"Fรฉminine un fille phantom? It's French for "Banshee." Lydia said, making Stiles stop walking and gives Lydia an exasperated look. "Okay, what-what does your Banshee intuition say this is? Or your Clairvoyant intuition?" He asked looking back and forth between Lydia and Sawyer, making Lydia sigh, "That you don't have to figure it all out right this second." She said and Sawyer nodded slightly .

"She does kind of have a point." She said and Stiles' expression softens, and his voice gets quieter, "But this kid... this kid's got no one, you know? And... There's a reason why. There's gotta be." He said. Just then Lydia frowned slightly before mumbling something, "Give this man a ride, sweet family will die... Killer on the road..." She said, making the twins look at her confused, "Riders on the Storm?" Stiles asked.

Lydia jerked to attention as though she's just been broken out of a trance, "What?" She asked. "That's the song? Riders on the Storm... Which I think I've been hearing whispers of all day." Sawyer said and realization crossed over Lydia's features. "That's it!" She said and Stiles just looked at her confused, "What's it?" He asked.

"The Ghost Riders! The Wild Hunt. They come by storm, riding horses, and they take people." She said, making Stiles' eyes widen in excitement. "Lydia, you are so smart! I'm so glad you're dating my sister!" Stiles said before running off making the girls glance at each other.

"He's definitely your brother."

Lydia and Sawyer sat alone in a dark, empty classroom, deep in thought, when Malia walks through the door toward her, holding her cell phone in her hand. "Got your text. You said you guys needed my help?" She asked and when she walks up to them she sees that Lydia has pulled up a web page on the Wild Hunt on her laptop. When Malia realizes they're trying to figure out a Banshee or Clairvoyant premonition, she groaned.

"Oh God- that kind of help." She said and Sawyer sighed softly, "Something terrible is going to happen. I've been feeling it all day. I've been trying to ignore it because I thought since I haven't had any visions, it's not going to happen today but it's just been getting worse and worse." She rambled and Malia sighed. "Okay... What is it?" She asked and Sawyer slightly shook her head, "I don't know... That's why we need your guys' help."

A little while later they still sit in the empty history classroom, where they are researching the Wild Hunt on Lydia's MacBook. "When did you have the premonition?" Malia asked and Lydia sighed, "We were with Stiles. We realized it was the Wild Hunt. The Riders, the horses... Souls getting swept up..."

Lydia turns the laptop so Malia and Sawyer can see the page on the Wild Hunt and Malia leans over her shoulder and reads a sentence aloud, "Those who see the Wild Hunt, beware, for you are already lost."

As Malia reads realization crossed over Sawyer's features, "Horses- he saw them. He saw the Wild Hunt!" She jumps to her feet and looks at Lydia and Malia wide-eyed. "I need to find Stiles." Sawyer said and Malia and Lydia both frowned in confusion.

"Who's Stiles?" Malia asked and Sawyer could feel her heart drop as she shook her head, "Stiles. My brother. My twin brother, Stiles." Sawyer said and Lydia looked at her confused. "What? Sawyer, you don't have a brother." She said and Sawyer only became more horrified as her eyes widened.

"No, no, no..." She mumbled before running out of the classroom.

She ran down the hall and outside where she saw her brother running out to the parking lot, "Stiles!" She yelled, making him spin around before he rushed toward her and grabbed her shoulders. "Sawyer? You know me?" He asked and when he realized that she does, he sighed in relief, "Oh, thank God! You know me!" He said and she nodded. "I know you, but everyone else is forgetting about you." She said but he didn't answer as he glanced over her shoulder.

"Hey, do you see him?" He asked and Sawyer turned to follow Stiles' line of sight, but saw nothing. "See what?" She asked, "The guy on the horse." He said, making her heart drop as she realized what Stiles was talking about, she turned back to face him.

"Stiles, if you can see them, they're gonna..." Sawyer trailed off slightly and Stiles nodded, "I know. I know. Okay, they're coming for me, so you have to get away from me right now, okay?" He said, making her look at him crazy.

"I can't just leave you right now! Are you insane?" She asked and Stiles sighed in exasperation and gave his sister a look before grabbing her arm and pulling her in the opposite direction of the Ghost Rider. "All right, come on! Come on!" He said before pulling her through the parking lot.

"This way. This way. Come on!"

They were about to keep going when suddenly, another Ghost Rider on a horse appeared, forcing them to change direction once again. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Okay, this way. Keep going." Stiles said but when they turned to go another way, Stiles stopped once again when he saw a third Ghost Rider on horseback blocking their path.

The three Ghost Riders trot closer and closer to Stiles and Sawyer, leaving Stiles at a loss for options as to how to get away. "Where are they?" Sawyer asked as she glanced around and Stiles sighed, "They're everywhere."

Realizing that they're close to his Jeep, Stiles grabbed his sister's arm again and pulled her away from the Riders before quickly pulling her in between two of them in order to make a bee-line for the vehicle. "Come on! Come on! Come on! Sawyer, don't look at them, okay? Just do not look at them." Stiles yelled, making Sawyer raise her eyebrows, "I don't plan on it!"

The two siblings climb into Stiles' Jeep as fast as they can, slamming the doors behind them before Stiles fumbled with his keys in an attempt to start the engine. But, when Stiles put the keys in the ignition, he looked up to see the Wild Hunt surrounding the Jeep. He hesitated for a moment, making Sawyer look at him with worry and incredulity.

"What are you doing? We need to go!"

Stiles hesitated for a moment longer before pulling the key out of the ignition before looking at his sister with a defeated expression, "There's no time." Stiles said and Sawyer shook her head, "Stiles, put that goddamn key back in the ignition and drive-" Sawyer said but Stiles cut her off.

"Sawyer, I'm going to be erased, okay? Just like Alex. You're gonna forget me." He said and she shook her head, "I'm not gonna just forget my brother." She said and Stiles just sighed and shook his head.

"Sawyer, you will. You all will. Just try to find some way to remember me, okay? Remember when we were kids and we both broke our left arms because we fell out of a tree after trying to see who could climb the fastest?" Stiles asked and Sawyer took a deep breath, her eyes tearing up, "I was definitely faster." She said and he nodded slightly.

"You were. I'll finally admit that now and you need to remember that." He said and Sawyer glanced down as she aggressively tried to wipe her tears away. "That's all you have to do. You need to remember me and get the others to remember me. Just remember that you're the best sister that I could ever have... Remember that you're a part of me." He said making her look at him as a tear fell down her face

Before she could say anything, the Ghost Riders yank the door to the Jeep open and pull Stiles out as Sawyer eyes widen and she tried to grab him but was too late. After a moment, Sawyer's face goes blank, and she muttered herself in an effort to hold onto her memories of what just happened, "Remember..."

โšก

Sawyer and Anakin walked through the doors of the school before she slowed to a stop, as if she was in a slight trance. Liam, Mason, Hayden, and Corey, who were standing next to the row of lockers, glanced back at her before smiling and waving.

But it's clear by the confused look on Sawyer's face that something doesn't feel right to her as she watched the students walk and talk around her. Anakin turned to her, sitting down as he looked up to her, not alerting, but definitely feeling something off with her.

After a moment, Malia and Lydia walked into the hall and stopped with a frown when they noticed her standing with a confused expression on her face. "You okay?" Lydia asked as she grabbed her girlfriend's hand and Sawyer didn't look at them. "I have this feeling that I was supposed to do something..." She said as Scott walked up to them, "Do what?" He asked and Sawyer looked almost concerned by her lack of memory.

"I can't remember..."
