─────────────────

A FEW DAYS AFTER the whole Glen Glapri incident and Derek and Marlo's lustful night together, the hospital is absolutely crazy with people being rolled in from a car accident on the freeway.

Marlo who is studying to become a nurse like Melissa is called in after a few doctors and nurses couldn't make it, she enters the hospital seeing how much chaos is occurring.

Marlo now notices Scott entering through the emergency entrance; she walks over to the teenage boy and smiles at him.

"Your mom is somewhere around here" Marlo says to the boy noticing his brought in some take away for his mother.

Just as Scott goes to respond to her they both hear Melissa call out helping someone in from the ambulance at the door.

"Okay keep pressure, the doctor is on her way in" Melissa says to the patient who's holding a wound on her stomach before yelling out not seeing Scott or Marlo near the entrance.

"Does anyone know where Hilyard is?"; she sighs letting the paramedic take the patient to the nearby hallway.

Melissa then turns around noticing Scott who holds the food in the air showing his mother he got it.

"Oh thank god! I'm starving" she says to her son grabbing the food and smiling at the studying nurse beside him.

Now noticing that she didn't even acknowledge her son because of her hunger; "Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, thank you for bringing me dinner" Melissa says hugging her son.

"Is everything okay?" Scott asks; "Except for half the accident victims in a ten-car pile-up being rerouted here from downtown, and the ER attending not answering any of his pages; yeah, I'm okay" Melissa replies.

"Is there anywhere you need me?" Marlo asks patiently; as the woman smiles at someone she's basically raised alongside Noah; Scott manages to ask a question as well.

"What does not answering pages mean? It means that nobody can find him, so now we have to wait for the on-call to get here" Melissa answers her son; not before looking at Marlo as well.

"You're sticking by me tonight, I'll be your teacher" she smiles; Marlo nods and smiles accepting Melissa as her teacher; "Miss?" A patient says politely from beside them.

"Yes?" Melissa asks; "Excuse me, can I kind of please have something for the pain?" The patient asks holding her side in agony.

"Okay, I'm sorry, I know, but actually, giving you something could complicate things, so we really just need to wait for the doctors, okay?" Melissa says showing sympathy helping her sit down somewhere so she doesn't hurt herself anymore.

Marlo looks at Scott now understanding what his thinking; she grabs onto his shoulder and he turns towards her.

"Whatever you're thinking, just be careful okay?" Marlo asks softly knowing that werewolves are able to take pain away sometimes.

Scott just nods at the older woman before going over to the patient who is in pain; Melissa goes back over to where Marlo is standing before asking the nurse on the phones.

"Okay, how much longer on Dr. Hilyard?" Melissa asks, "Ten minutes" the nurse on the phone responds before Melissa looks at Marlo sharing a nod.

"Uh, you know, I think that I read online that sometimes human contact can help with the pain" Scott says to the injured and in pain patient sitting on the waiting chairs; he receives a nod from Marlo who is standing at the front desk before looking around making sure no one is watching.

He gently places his hand on the woman's and black veins begin running up Scott's arm showing his taking some of the pain away from the patient.

As the woman breathes out in relief that some of the agonising pain she was has subsided; she looks at the teenager beside her smiling softly.

Scott just smiles back at her before turning around hearing a familiar voice yell out entering through the emergency doors; "Someone! Someone help me!" Ethan calls out carrying a clearly in pain and blue Danny in his arms.

"Oh! I need help" Ethan yells out again; Marlo rushes over straight away trying to help the alpha even despite the circumstances.

Melissa now helping carry the injured Danny to a chair behind them; as they try and sit him down he groans out in agony.

Marlo checks him over as she hears Scott questioning Ethan behind them; she also hears Melissa say that this isn't good and how much longer on the doctor who's currently driving to the hospital.

She looks up at Melissa now worried now starting what could be wrong with Danny; "His larynx has shifted to the side, I think it's a tension pneumothorax" Marlo says.

Danny gets up trying to push the two woman out of the way so he can throw up on the hospital floor and not on them, as he heaves a substance that now worries the werewolves and the vampire in the hospital hallway.

"Mistletoe" Ethan says under his breath; Scott now looking at him in confusion.

Marlo rushes over to the nearby bed to rush Danny into get some care from the two.

Melissa realises that both Scott and Ethan are still following them as they enter a treatment room with other patients as well; "Can you two please go back to the waiting room?" She asks politely.

Marlo then takes the stethoscope off Melissa trying to get straight into the job of taking care of Danny; "Where are the nurses and doctors? Where is everyone?" Ethan asks worried for his boyfriend.

"It's a full house tonight, they're tending to other patients" Marlo answers for Melissa; "Okay, well, Mom, how can we help?" Scott asks nervously.

"Honey, you can't, his lung is collapsed. His heart is being pushed against his chest cavity" Melissa says as both Marlo and her look at the boy who's turning red from the pain his in.

"He's gonna die, isn't he?" Scott says. "No. No, he's not" Melissa says quietly and looking around to the see if any other doctors are present in the room which there isn't.

Marlo looks at the woman now; knowing what she's going to do from her studying this sort of thing.

"Scott, you grab the tape, Ethan you grab those scissors and cut his shirt open" Marlo then says as Melissa opens the draw beside her and grabs the needle out.

"Okay" Melissa says once Ethan ripped his boyfriend's shirt open; Scott then realises that the boy isn't breathing; "Mom, Marlo, he's not breathing!" he rushes out.

"We know, we know" Marlo says as she helps Melissa with the needle now and holding the body still as possible as well.

The lead nurse then stabs the boy in the chest and Marlo grabs the bolt twisting it so they can hear a hissing like sound.

Melissa then pulls the needle up taking some of the air with it as Danny breathes out a little bit.

Melissa takes the big part of the needle out now holding the boys chest where she previously injected the needle into him.

Marlo looks at the younger boy as he softly whispers out to both woman in the room; "Thank you" he says softly; Melissa and Marlo just smile.

"No problem" Melissa says and Marlo nods; the boys look at both woman in amazement at how they could do that under so much pressure; "What?" Melissa asks the two noticing their looks.

"That was awesome" Scott says to both woman, Marlo just softly chuckles; "It was no problem. You know, I mean, it wasn't a big deal" Marlo says smiling at the McCalls and Ethan now.

Scott just softly laughs looking at his mom now in amazement again and then looking back at the vampire; after a while Melissa orders both of the boys to go home due to having school and studies to prepare for.

She then looks at the vampire and smiles and gestures for her to continue following her around the hospital, "Marlo, why did you choose to study this line of job?" Melissa asks curiously.

"Watching you save people for years made me choose this lifestyle, plus I really want to feel good about saving someone's life and not just being a supernatural being you know?" Marlo sighs looking at Melissa who has tears in her eyes.

"You wanna become a nurse because of me?" Melissa asks now nearly crying; "Melissa, you're like a mom to me, always have been and since my mom passed away you've been there for not only me but my dad and Stiles as well, of course I wanna be a nurse because of you" Marlo sniffles to the woman now.

They both share a family type of hug; "Okay enough of the sad stuff, let's continue showing you around the hospital since you're going to be starting a lot more earlier than others" Melissa says to the confused woman.

"What do you mean earlier than others?" Marlo asks now; "The way you jumped into saving Danny earlier and knew things with the chest things, you're passed the stage of studying and can start working here with me" Melissa says.

Marlo just squeals and happily hugs Melissa now; "Plus I wanna hear the gossip all about that boyfriend of yours" Melissa says to the blushing woman now.

"It only just became official the other night Mel" Marlo sighs now walking beside the woman.

Outside both Scott and Ethan notice a car driving in their direction before crashing into a car in the parking lot alerting the two now and then run to make sure everyone is okay only to find the car empty and a moth left behind.

Twenty minutes later the sheriff and deputies arrive at the hospital as both doctors are now a missing people; "Two missing" Scott says again going over his statement.

"Hang on, hang on; they were both in the car?" Stilinski asks confused; "No, Dad, they're trying to tell you that it was two separate kidnappings, okay? Two doctors, both gone" Stiles explains to the his father.

"So, whose car is this?" Stilinski asks; "Dr. Hilyard, the on call doctor. The ER attending is the one that never made it in" Melissa says as Marlo nods from beside her.

"Let me just focus on getting your story first, all right?" Stilinski says to Melissa; "Yeah" Melissa says to the sheriff; "Boys, Marlo; give us a second" Stilinski says.

Marlo just sighs and says a goodbye to Melissa walking away with the teenage boys hearing the conversation they're currently having; "These are definitely sacrifices, right?" Scott asks.

"Yeah, it's the one Deaton mentioned; Healers" Stiles answers; "What about Danny? He threw up mistletoe. That's not a coincidence, and if he hadn't been with Ethan, he probably would've died, Danny's not a healer" Scott says.

Marlo then looks over to where Stiles is currently looking seeing their father get a call on his cellphone; Marlo being an adult walks over worried seeing the drop of her father's face.

"Dad, everything okay?" Marlo asks the man; "We found a body" Stilinski answers looking at his daughter and Melissa now; Marlo looks behind her at the boys now surprised.

Sheriff Stilinski eventually finishes with Melissa saying he has to go to the crime scene the body is at, Marlo looks over feeling the sudden urge she's being watched.

The looks over at her dad's sheriff vehicle seeing Riley smirking at her; she rushes over to him.

"If you hurt him in any kind of way shape or form Riley, I will never forgive you" Marlo seethes; "Relax M, I'm just doing my job; this" Riley says pointing to his badge.

"This is the only thing I'm actually happy about being in Beacon Hills for, my step father isn't happy I joined but I am; this is for me. Your dad is safe I promise" Riley says.

Marlo just tilts her out trying to figure out if his being serious or not; "I'm serious M, I won't do anything to him, his actually a good man" he says again; Marlo walks off giving the deputy a dirty look.

"You know him?" Stiles asks; "Yeah, that's Riley Marshall, my ex" Marlo sighs, "Ex?" Stiles nearly yells.

"Yeah ex baby brother; his bad news; a vampire like myself and his father well step is an evil mastermind who bit me" Marlo sighs shrugging walking over to her car leaving Stiles looking shocked.

The next morning as Marlo is snoozing beside Derek and he continues dozing off from reading the book he has in his hands: the alarm blares from beside them startling the vampire awake with a gasp.

She sees Derek rush and turn the alarm off; looking at the equipment on the wall, Cora comes up from behind him seeing Marlo still in her pyjamas and looking at the window now noticing the symbol.

"What does it mean?" Cora asks to her older brother and he looks at her confused before she looks at the window again, he clenches his jaw now.

"It means they're coming; tonight" Derek answers as Marlo groans loudly before laying back down on the bed; "One day? One day without these bastards annoying you Der" Marlo says pissed off.

Derek just looks behind him noticing Cora's gone upstairs again; he sits back beside Marlo grabbing the book he was reading and looking at his girlfriend beside him who is already looking at him; "What?" He shrugs confused.

"Nothing, just making sure you're still here and not my imagination" Marlo sighs adjusting her hair and moving closer to him now; "Baby, I'm here and I'm not going anywhere" Derek sighs knowing she's been worried since he 'died' the other day.

"Good, because I would be worried for anyone who would have to deal with me if you died" Marlo says; cuddling into his torso and wrapping her arm over him.

Derek who is reading his book just adjusts himself so his more comfortable knowing she'll fall asleep again and soon realising he was right as he hears soft snores coming from beside him.

He just chuckles and kisses her forehead preparing for the alphas tonight.

An hour later and Marlo is still asleep cuddling into him, her phone starts buzzing beside them, he takes notice it's Stiles and looks at the phone before sighing and answering; "Marlo's phone" Derek says.

"Derek? Why are you answering my sisters phone? Is she okay?" Stiles says as Derek looks up annoyed already at hearing his voice.

"I'm answering her phone because she's asleep and she's fine" Derek says.

"Good, good, I was just calling to make sure she wasn't taken, after last night" Stiles says now Derek is confused.

"Huh? Why taken? What happened last night?" Derek wonders, "She didn't tell you? Her and Melissa saved Danny's life and someone is going after healers" Stiles says quickly.

Derek just smiles knowing his girlfriend saved someone doing what she loves and puts the phone back to his ear again.

"Well she's okay, and beside me, bye Stiles" Derek says hanging up the phone before looking at the time.

Ten-forty-five he gently wakes Marlo up by softly shaking her; "Lo, you have work in an hour baby" Derek says earning a groan of disproval from the woman who's still sleeping basically on him now; "Nooo" Marlo says tiredly.

Derek just chuckles; "You wanted to become a nurse baby, gotta wake up for those shifts now" Derek says kissing her forehead now; she just smiles at the forehead kiss and grabs ahold of his hand now as he was walking off.

He looks at her in confusion; she sits up pulling him into her now for a kiss; he smiles before finishing the kiss before he doesn't want to stop; she moans in protest and pouts. "Get ready for work, I'll drop you off" Derek says tapping her ass.

She gets out of the bed and goes into his shower not being bothered to go upstairs since she lives alone again.

Isaac moved in with Scott noticing Marlo had a lot going on with her studies he didn't want to be in her way.

Plus her her uniform was here at Derek's loft anyways; after the quickest shower she gets ready doing her hair as neat as possible before having her daily blood bag and breakfast; she looks at the blood in disgust suddenly.

"Ew" Marlo says; "What?" Derek asks confused as he knows that her usual favourite, "I don't know this tastes gross now" Marlo says; "It might have to do with your werewolf side maybe?" Derek asks.

Marlo just drinks the rest of the blood-bag even though it's gross needing her strength and shrugs.

"Yeah maybe" she says answering her boyfriends question; he grabs his keys knowing the woman is ready for work today with Melissa.

"So Stiles rang earlier and told me what happened last night with Danny at the hospital" Derek says starting the engine to his car.

"Yeah sorry I forgot I didn't tell you, I was exhausted last night" Marlo says looking at the alpha beside her.

"That's all good baby, just would've been helpful to know incase you were taken like Stiles is worried about" Derek says looking at Marlo smirking.

"No one's gonna use me a sacrifice today" Marlo says laughing; the soon pull into the hospital drop off and she gives Derek a quick kiss before saying bye and entering her new workplace.

Stiles and Scott are in Jennifer's class as Scott gets a phone call from Deaton explaining his going to be taken which leaves the beta boy confused and worried for his father figure.

Isaac and Boyd enter Derek's loft to help him out tonight after hearing the alphas are going after him and possibly the rest of them; "Go back to school" Derek says not in the mood for teenagers at the moment.

"Well, actually, we can't. Boyd and I are incredibly and unbelievably sick" Isaac states to his alpha, Derek scoffs, "With what? Brain damage?".

"Well, I have a migraine, and, uh Boyd here has explosive diarrhea" Isaac says getting an annoyed sigh out of Boyd beside him.

"We're here to protect you and Marlo" Boyd says; "You're here to protect Marlo and I? Well, I'm in trouble, then; Marlo's not here; she's at work" Derek says incredulously.

Isaac just looks at the alpha confused now as Marlo isn't here and working, that's unusual.

"Actually, Boyd came up with a plan, and that's good Marlo isn't here" Isaac says pointing to Boyd now and then reading a book for studies.

"Yeah, I thought about the time Gerard had me and Erica locked up, tied up with electrical wires pushing currents through us, I was wondering how we could do something like that" Boyd says pulling out cables to signal electricity.

"But on a bigger scale" he finishes looking at his alpha now getting up and grabbing onto a hose he also brought and putting that onto the tap and letting the water flow.

"In a pool of electrified water, it can take up to fifty milliamps to kill a normal human, less than the power it takes to turn on a light bulb" Boyd says looking at Derek and Isaac putting the hose down now to let the loft fill up with water.

"That's, comforting" Derek says with his arms crossed looking at Isaac and back at Boyd now.

"If we disable the circuit interrupter in the building's electrical room, the current will keep coming, and anyone who steps foot in here? They'll get a pretty shocking surprise" Boyd says again smiling at his idea.

"Especially someone who's barefoot" Isaac says walking up to stand beside Derek now watching the water flow; "One thing though, don't tell Marlo" Derek demands.

"Won't she come home and hear what's going on?" Isaac then asks; "No, she's at work until eleven tonight, she'll be safe" Derek states; little did he know.

Melissa gets a phone call from Noah explaining they've found another body and they're bringing that body to the hospital for the morgue.

Melissa finds Marlo getting a drink from the vending machine and quickly explains to her what's happening.

They both run in the direction of the morgue's floor; "Hey dad" Marlo says to Stilinski as he exits the elevator with the body.

"It's Dr. Hilyard, isn't it?" Melissa asks; "Yeah" Stilinski sighs walking alongside his daughter and friend; "Oh god, okay" Melissa says breathlessly.

"Okay, did she have ligature marks around her throat?" Melissa asks; "No, How do you know about that?" Stilinski asks Melissa then looks at his daughter.

"We need you to take a look at the other body with us, Melissa and I think we know how they both died, and I think it's gonna help you find Scott's boss" Marlo says looking at her father.

He then looks at Melissa and she nods as if to confirm what Marlo just said was true.

Both nurses lead the sheriff and Marlo's dad into the morgue to show them the previous body; "The problem with no ligature marks around the neck is that both doctors were still asphyxiated, so the question is" Melissa starts to say.

"How did they suffocate if they weren't strangled?" Stilinski asks: "Right, now, take a look at the wrist marks, what do they tell you?" Marlo asks pulling back the sheet that is covering the body in front on them.

"His hands were tied" Stilinski says looking at the wounds; "Not just tied dad; look how deep they go, I don't think that's just from struggling to get out, I think he was suspended, hanging like that? That means they would have to keep lifting their bodies up in order to breathe, eventually, they would lose strength and they wouldn't be able to lift themselves up, it's how people used to die from crucifixion" Marlo states.

"So, you think Deaton is somewhere right now, hanging by his wrists?" Stilinski asks his daughter; "Yeah" Marlo says nodding.

"And, when he no longer has the strength to pull himself up to catch a breath, how long before he dies?" Stilinski asks.

"Minutes" Melissa states worriedly looking at both Marlo and Stilinski now; Marlo sighs.

At Derek's loft they power everything up as the daylight is coming to an; Boyd throws the cables into the water making them electrified for anyone who steps foot in it.

"Is this gonna kill 'em? What happens if Marlo comes home early?" Isaac asks and then looks at Derek worried.

"She won't come home early Isaac, it's okay" Derek states looking at the worried beta; "I hope so" Boyd states looking at the water now full of electricity.

Marlo sees Stiles enter Danny's hospital room and she looks curiously at to why the teenager and her brother would enter the boys room.

She looks around and makes her way over to the room for Stiles to come out, but before she can make it to the room, someone knocks her unconscious from behind.

Picking her up to use a weakness for Derek in the long run; as Ethan looks at Aiden in question at seeing him carry out an unconscious Marlo with blood on her head.

"What the hell?" Ethan asks angrily, "She's fine; she hit her head on the way down" Aiden says to his worried brother.

"Why are we even risking using her? Deucalion will kill us if he finds out" Ethan whispers.

"Because Kali wants her and she's Derek's weak spot we all know that, so we're holding her hostage for a while so Derek can kill one of his betas" Aiden says back driving towards the loft when Kali is waiting so she get her revenge on Derek.

Even if that's using his vampire girlfriend; who is currently powerless due to her werewolf side kicking in.

Kali cuts the auxiliary power after seeing the twins arriving; alerting the werewolves and alpha upstairs.

"Isn't that light supposed to be on?" Isaac asks pointing to where the alarms light is out.

"Yeah" Derek says annoyed now; "What does it mean if it's not?" Isaac wonders growing worried now.

"Someone cut the auxiliary power" Derek says worried now, "What about the main" Boyd goes to say just as the main power goes out alerting them even more now getting up.

Derek looks at the water before stepping into it showing it's got no electricity like they planned.

The alpha walks into the main area of his loft looking around in question but also worried because he can smell Marlo's scent.

He just answers that as her clothes are sitting on the table behind him; "Derek? What do we do now?" Isaac asks nervously; as Derek flashes his red eyes knowing their plan has failed currently.

"We fight" Derek states furiously, "Gonna be honest, Derek; when Ennis died, I thought to myself, I'd just go for it find you and kill you, wherever you stood, then, I remembered how you surround yourself with these teenagers and the hybrid of the demon wolf hiding behind them, and I thought, 'What's a girl gotta do to get you alone?'" Kali asks as the twins drag a barely conscious Marlo into view; with their claws to her throat.

She looks at Derek in a way his never seen before; absolutely terrified; "You and me, Derek or they tear her apart, what do you say? You think you can beat me one-on-one?" Kali asks.

Derek now growling because they've put his girlfriend in danger and hurting her in the process.

He motions for Isaac and Boyd to take a step back "I'm gonna rip your throat out with my teeth" Derek seeths to the alpha woman.

She roars at him, he launches himself into the air; at the animal clinic Scott, Stiles, Lydia and Cora begin to pack up the leave before Cora gets a text; "Guys hold on" Lydia says noticing Cora's face.

"Lydia, we don't have time" Stiles goes to say before being interrupted.

"It's Boyd, the plan didn't work, they cut the power and they've hurt Marlo" Cora says looking up from her phone with a scared look on her face.

"It's just like he said" Scott says stunned meaning the talk he had with Deucalion earlier today.

"Go, I can save Deaton myself" Scott orders the others: "What? Scott, what about us?" Stiles asks.

"Cora can't get there fast enough without you. Go. We can save both of them" Scott demands.

Stiles quickly looks at the others; "All right, let's go" he says as they run out of the animal clinic.

Kali and Derek are going end to end swiping each other and roaring, Derek beyond pissed off.

Kali pissed off as well due to Ennis's death, Marlo watches as the twins hold her head in a lock making sure she doesn't look away.

Marlo tries to break out of their hold due to the pain she's currently in and sobbing out.

She notices Derek also get sliced by Kali's sharp ass toe claws and cried out loudly.

But the alpha continues fighting the female using all his rage and strength to try and beat her although Kali takes the upper cut and jumps onto the table and throws Derek down into the water.

He gets up more angry roaring at her although she jumps down and slices him with her claws again making him fly in the air doing side flips; landing not so perfectly.

"Derek!" Marlo screams out seeing the twins are stepping more and more into the water; "No!" Derek yells.

Isaac being worried about his vampire leader goes to run but yells for Boyd to wait so he doesn't text Cora to turn on the power.

Derek gets up once again fighting Kali dodging her slices and flips; before she kick flips him into the water once again, Marlo is continuously sobbing worried for her boyfriend.

Stiles, Lydia and Cora run into the electricity room; "Okay, what do we do?" Stiles asks looking at the ledges to pull.

"We pull them; pull all of them" Cora says beginning to pull all of the ledges so the power turns back on upstairs in the loft.

Marlo continues trying to fight to get out of the twins grips but is unsuccessful as she's currently powerless and feeling weak, as Isaac gets the text from Stiles saying the powers about the kick back on.

He runs to get Marlo out of danger; the twins go into the water now as Isaac grabs onto a crying and screaming Marlo, the wolves get electrocuted as the power comes on fully now.

Marlo looks away from the view not liking seeing her boyfriend and friend get hurt, she doesn't carry about the alpha pack; Isaac continues holding onto Marlo as she sobs out still.

"Take him!" Kali orders the twins seeing Derek is weak on the loft's floor; grabbing onto him now and Kali grabbing Boyd.

The twins fight for Derek's claws to stay out as Kali drops Boyd on his claws so they make way into his betas chest.

Derek gasps now knowing his killed Boyd; "No!" Marlo shrieks from the entrance way still in Isaac's arms not fighting him though, Kali drops Boyd in front of Derek now as he groans in pain.

"I'm giving you until the next full moon, Derek, make the smart choice, join the pack or next time, I'm killing all of you" Kali threatens looking directly at Marlo as she says the last sentence.

Marlo just looks down in fear since she's got no fight left in her and currently powerless, getting up now to join Derek's side she hears him trying to save Boyd.

"It's okay" the teenage boy says weakly looking at Derek; "No, no, no, it's not, it's not" Derek pleads; "It's all okay, Derek" Boyd says.

"The full moon that feeling? That was worth it, did you know there's a lunar eclipse? I always wondered what, what that felt like for one of us; for a Werewolf" Boyd says weakly in the arms of Derek.

'"Boyd, what do you think will happen to us on the lunar eclipse? They last for hours, you know because it's just the earth's shadow" Erica asks leaning against the vaults wall.

"I wonder what will happen to us. Maybe it'll make us stronger" Erica says again looking at the door of vault to Kali being there; "I hope it'll make us stronger" Erica states getting up with her golden betas eyes ready to attack Kali now.

She launches at the alpha fighting her and Kali ends up weakening her enough for final words: "Boyd, tell Marlo; I'm sorry" Erica says pleadingly before taking her last breath'.

Boyd then drops to his death in front of the two leaders; Derek who is sobbing beside Marlo now blaming himself for his beta's death; Marlo is also crying beside him as Boyd told her what Erica said in her last moments.

Stiles, Cora both enter at the same time and Cora looks at them both seeing the way Derek's reacting knowing exactly what happened rushes forward to Boyd's body crying.

Stiles rushes up the adults in the loft while Lydia walks up the door beside Isaac now looking in sympathy for the crying adults and Cora in front of her.

Marlo is holding Derek up right as if she lets him go she knows he'll fall due to being in shock; she softly cries while hugging him; he eventually wraps his arms around his girlfriend crying into her neck.

Stiles then puts his hand on Derek's shoulder in a comforting way when he pulls away from Marlo to look at his hands that are covered in Boyd's blood.

Marlo then grabs the mourning Isaac who was sitting alone at the entrance and hugs him while he sobs in her arms; "Come on, come down here with us" Marlo says softly in between her cries.

Isaac nods and goes down to where Derek is and comforts his alpha; Marlo goes beside Cora now looking at Boyd's dead body and cries hugging the teenager who got close to him in the vault.

Marlo breathes out again softly, going back over to her boyfriend and sitting with him, he's still crying and shaking and has the blood on his hands.

"Stiles, you need to call Scott okay?" Marlo says softly not alarming Derek either; who has now grabbed his girlfriend hands so tightly in fear she'll leave him.

Stiles nods and grabs his phone before dialling his best friends number who is currently being told he eyes were red, bright red and it's rare but it's called a true alpha and Deucalion is also after him as well; he looks down at his phone seeing Stiles calling him.

"Hey man, I found Deaton" Scott says happily; "That's good man, look you need to get to Derek's asap" Stiles says sadly.

Scott now on high alert knowing somethings happened rushes out of the hospital after Deaton's got there safely to go to Derek's, as he pulls his motorbike up to the loft he sees the lights are back on and smiles softly.

He walks up and into the loft to see everyone with glum looks on their faces; he looks at Lydia first seeing her breathing still deeply; Scott then enters and sees Boyd's body on the floor and Stiles beside Cora.

"What happened?" Scott asks sadly; "Kali killed him" Marlo says entering from where Derek is, "What, how?" Scott asks; "Derek" Marlo says softly.

Scott then looks down knowing what that means and shedding a few tears for his friend.

"Derek's gonna need a few hours okay guys? You can leave; except you obviously Cora" Marlo sighs sadly, they all nod and go off in their own directions.

Marlo and Cora deal with the teenagers body; with cries and sobs between them both; "You were close with Erica?" Cora asks.

"Yeah, she lived with me after Derek turned her and so did Isaac for a while, I wasn't as close with Boyd but he was still family" Marlo says softly.

"I hope Derek's not gonna blame himself for this like he did with Paige" Cora says sadly remembering his second love; knowing Marlo was his first.

"Me too Cor, he'll need time to heal though, goodnight" Marlo says walking into his bedroom seeing him staring at the ceiling.

She gets in beside him and lays down on the pillow, hearing him still sniffing.

"Babe, this wasn't your fault; okay?" Marlo says looking at her boyfriend now; "Yeah it was, if Kali didn't hate me so much he wouldn't be dead by my hands" Derek says softly.

Marlo then not liking his answers sits up and looks up; "Kali is always gonna be like this Der, she's someone who's heartless, Boyd knew you didn't want this to happen" Marlo says adjusting his hair now since he showered to get Boyd's blood off his hands.

Derek just sighs sadly and turns to her hugging her again; before kissing her softly and lovingly.
