*flashforward*

"Everything we're going through, it's tearing us apart" I said. "Scott is my brother. But Stiles? He's basically a brother to me too. It feels like I have to pick a side. And if I choose one, I'll lose the other's trust"

"Will you really be able to make a decision like that?"

"Sometimes I think I have. Scott's my brother by blood but a lot of the time I don't feel like we're related at all. He wants to save everyone. He believes there's good in everyone. But there isn't, I know there isn't. And then Stiles, he hardly gives people the benefit of the doubt when sometimes he needs to. Yet he's always right about something"

"So where do you fit?"

"I'm not exactly sure. I give some people the benefit of the doubt, yet I'm still highly suspicious. I try to see the good in everyone but I know there isn't always good in people. I'm caught between the two. I'm not one side or the other, I sit in the middle. And it's tearing me apart. Unless it's in the heat of the moment, I don't think I can make a decision"

"What about Liam?"

"I can't trust him. We're not the same anymore. I don't know if we ever will be"

"And the others?"

"The whole pack have fallen apart. So much has changed I don't know who to trust, who to spend time with. And Mason's been in the middle of Liam and I, but he mainly stands by Liam's side. I'm not mad though. I guess he's in the same position as I am. I just wish I didn't feel so alone, you know"

"How about your powers? Are they helping?"

"The visions are hard to control. I mean, my emotions are so heightened that sometimes I don't even need to focus on them to get a vision. It's mentally exhausting, I don't know what I'm supposed to do anymore"

"I wish I could help you Rebecca but I've never had much experience with this. What about your anchor as a werewolf? The same rules could apply for your new powers?"

"I don't know exactly what my anchor is" I admitted. "I guess it was just always kind of there"

"How do you keep in control then?"

"Someone was always with me. Whether it be Scott, Stiles, Liam, Lydia, whoever. Sometimes the whole pack was there. Their presences, they all seemed to help. But now I don't have any of them"

"Try focusing on the common emotion you felt when they were there"

"I don't know what I felt"

"Safe. Their presences must have comforted you. So the common emotion must be love. You have to focus on that. It's the one thing that can pull you back"

"How do I focus on it when I've lost everyone?" I asked.

"You haven't lost everyone yet. You need to bring them back to you"

"Easier said than done" I commented.

"Even if you don't feel anything at the time, you have to remember memories. It doesn't matter what they are, they have to involve someone you care about. Because unless you find something else, that's the only thing that will pull you back"

"What if it doesn't?"

"Rebecca, do you remember when your brother lost control? When he lost his anchor and when he was too afraid to transform? But then he got through it. Because he believed"

I frowned. "I have to believe? That's the key to this?"

"It's the key to everything"

"There's no scent. No tracks. No way to find them" Scott said in between breaths.

"But Liam can howl back right?" Malia asked.

"Only if he heard him" I said with a sigh. "This is all my fault"

"We'll find them"

I shook my head. "I shouldn't have left without-"

"Bex you had to make a choice. I know it was hard but I promise you that we'll find them"

"It doesn't make things any easier"

"Then stop feeling so godamn guilty and focus on trying to find them instead!" My brother snapped.

I stepped back, kind of stung by the outburst.

"I'm sorry it's just-"

"It's fine"

"No it's not"

I shook my head. "We should probably head back"

~

"Sorry I'm only on chapter two" Corey apologised. "I'm kind of a slow reader"

"Oh that's okay Corey" Mason grinned.

Lydia and I rolled our eyes.

"He's right" Scott said as he headed through the door.

"There you are. Is Kira-" he cut me off.

"We don't have time for that anyway" he went over to Corey with his hand out, claws showing.

"No Scott don't!" Lydia and I yelled.

But he'd already dug his claws into the back of Corey's neck.

Footsteps thudded across the landing and Stiles, Malia and Theo came into the room.

"Don't get too close" I said quickly before they could advance any further.

"What is he doing?" Theo asked.

"Tapping into Corey's memories" Lydia answered. "It's usually something only alphas do"

Theo walked over to get a better look.

"Is it as dangerous as it looks?"

"Probably more" Stiles spoke up.

"Does anyone know if it's working?" Mason asked.

Scott gasped and fell backwards and I went to steady him.

"Is he okay?" Stiles asked.

"What the hell did you do to me!" Corey demanded.

"You'll be alright" I said.

Corey placed his hand behind his neck and then pulled it away. "There's blood"

"You'll heal" Scott said.

"Scott-" Stiles started.

"He'll be fine!" My brother yelled. "Listen. I think it worked. I saw something" he grabbed a notepad and started sketching. "There were tunnels. Pipes along the walls. There were these huge blue pipes at the entrance. Two on both sides"

"Wait a second I know this" Stiles said as he peered at the drawing. "I've seen this before. That's one of the tunnels I used to skateboard in. Remember my dad caught me one time and told me to never go back?"

"It's the water treatment plant" Lydia confirmed.

"That's where they are" Scott said. "That's where we'll find Liam and Hayden" he said quickly before heading to the door and down the stairs.

"Scott! Scott slow down just think for a second okay!" Stiles yelled after him. "Mason should be going"

"Liam's my best friend" Mason said. "I'm going"

"Oh did you suddenly get suddenly wolf powers?" Stiles said sarcastically. "I wasn't aware of the development"

"Well, if you're not going, I could use the help" Scott said.

"No, I'm coming just as soon as I talk to my dad. They're moving the body and he wants to make sure that this time no one steals it"

"How's he gonna do that?" Malia asked.

"I don't know. But whoever took the last one was strong enough to flip my Jeep" Stiles replied.

"We can bring Theo" Malia pointed at him.

"Maybe I better stay here" Theo said. "You know, in case the Doctors decide to make a house call for Corey"

"Scott, Stiles is right. We need to slow down and think" Lydia spoke up.

"I am thinking. About how Liam and Hayden could already be dead"

"You could've hurt him, Scott" she argued. "Really hurt him"

"I have to find Liam" Scott said as we headed to the door.

"Hey, text me" Stiles called after us. "For anything"

"I got it" Malia reassured.

"Anything at all. Okay?"

~

"Liam!" Malia yelled out.

"Liam!" I shouted too.

"Can you catch a scent?" Mason asked.

"There's too many chemicals" My brother replied.

"Then this might take a while"

The four of us split up and I ran down the tunnels shouting Liam and Hayden's names until I smacked right into my brother and Malia.

"Anything?"

I shook my head.

"Nothing" Mals said.

"Hayden!" I heard Mason yelling. He paused when he saw us.

"Okay we need to make sure we're not covering the same area" Scott said as he panted.

"You need your inhaler" I pointed out.

"Quiet. I think I hear something"

"It's just the lights, isn't it?" Malia asked.

I heard a buzzing noise. It sounded electrical but it wasn't the lights.

Scott shook his head. "Come on. This way"

We continued running, for what seemed like hours, down endless tunnels.

"I'm telling you guys, we've been down this one before" Mason said, as we slowed down.

"What the hell are we doing? We're running up and down this place. Up and down tunnels. And there's no way. There's no way that we're gonna find-" Scott cut off, breathing heavily.

"Scott, you need your inhaler" Malia said, looking confused. He shook his head.

"Scott, use it" I said to my brother. "Use your inhaler"

He wheezed, dropping to the floor and getting his inhaler out to use.

"This is all my fault" he said. "We're never going to find them. It's my fault"

"Scott" Mason held his hand out.

My brother eventually took it and he helped him up.

"We should keep looking" I said. "We should keep trying"

~

We later got a call from Lydia explaining that Theo had found Liam and Hayden.

Without hesitation the four of us headed back to the car and drove as quickly as we could.

As soon as the car stopped, I jumped out and ran inside, practically falling through the front door.

The relief and the mild excitement I had felt, suddenly shattered.

I paused, staring at Liam and Hayden cuddled up on the sofa.

It honestly felt like my heart had sunk to my stomach.

Scott came in after me and placed his hand on my shoulder.

All I could do was stare at the two of them.

Hot tears stung in my eyes but I blinked them away.

Lydia draped a blanket gently over the two of them before turning to me.

She opened her mouth to speak but I cut her off.

"Don't" My voice shook.

"Becca-"

"Please. Please don't. Just don't say anything"

"Hey, Becca its-"

"Not okay, Lydia. This isn't okay"

Malia looked at me with a frown. "What's wrong?"

Theo looked over at me. "Look Rebecca it's probably-" 

"Nothing?" I raised an eyebrow. "Sure whatever"

"Hey, Bex he saved them" My brother reminded. "They're okay"

"Yeah well maybe you shouldn't have" I snapped at Theo.

"You don't mean that" Mason said.

"Don't I?"

"It's been a long day, okay. You just need to-" I cut Lydia off.

"I don't need rest! All of you stop telling me that it's going to be okay because it's not!" I shouted, louder and angrier than I ever had before.

Nobody said anything. They all just stared at me, some in shock and others as if they were waiting for me to explode again.

"I can't do this" I announced. "I need air"

Before anyone could stop me I was already out the door and stumbling along the pavement.

I found a wall and held onto it as my legs just completely gave way and I fell to the floor in a sobbing mess.

This is all my fault.

Everything that's happened, it's my fault.

I had this coming.

I caused this.

I've lost Liam.

I've lost him.

~

"Scott?" I knocked on the door gently. "Scott?"

I heard him mumble something in response so I opened the door.

He was sat curled up on the floor.

I sighed and sat down beside him.

"You look how I feel"

He glanced up. "I'm sorry about what happened between you and Liam"

"Nothing has really happened. Yet"

"You gonna break it off with him?"

I shook my head unsurely. "I don't know. I just can't go on like this, you know. I don't want him leading me on. I don't think my heart can take much more"

"I'll kill him"

I smiled. "I'd love that. No I'm kidding. Just don't let me and Liam ruin the bond you two have"

"Maybe you'll figure it out"

"Thanks for your optimism but we've been heading this way for a while. Hayden has just kinda sped up the process. But maybe that's what we needed. We both need to figure ourselves out first"

"It hurts doesn't it"

"Like a dull ache in my heart? Yeah"

"Sometimes it's meant to be" he looked down at the floor and sighed. "Sometimes it isn't"

"I'm sorry Kira had to go"

"Me too"

"She's coming back, right?"

"I think so. I just- I don't know anymore Bex. Things have changed"

"No kidding"

"How do you deal with this?"

I shrugged with a smile. "I guess I just look for you guys. My family, my friends. It makes things a little easier"

"I wish I could still do that" he admitted.

"Are things bad between you and Stiles?"

"Kind of" he exhaled slowly. "Things aren't the same anymore and I don't think they'll ever be the same again"

"He's going through a lot right now" I reminded. "So are you. We all are. Things have to get a little bad sometimes"

"Not this bad"

"Scott-"

"I've failed you all"

"No you haven't"

"Look at you Bex. Look what I turned you into"

"So maybe a part of me died with my humanity. Maybe I am different. But that doesn't mean what you did wasn't justifiable"

"You didn't ask for this. I didn't ask for this"

"I kinda wanna punch you in the face right now" I deadpanned. "Seriously, man up. You need to get your shit together. You're the alpha. If you want to fix things then you have to stop feeling so damn sorry for yourself and make a difference"

He smiled a little. "You're right"

"Yes I am. Okay, and I'm going to promise you something-"

"You don't make promises"

"Yeah but I know I'll always keep this one" I said. "I promise you, Scott McCall, that I will be by your side through everything"

"Through everything?"

I leant my head on his shoulder and smiled, as the two of us stared into the empty darkness, that hung over the room.

"Through everything"
