Strap in everyone you're in for a long read :)

•.☆☁︎︎☆.•

IT HAD BEEN A YEAR AND A HALF LATER. Right after Derek and Isabella left Mexico, they headed back to Beacon Hills to pack for their vacation together. As Isabella stated before she wondered what Costa Rica was like, so what did Derek do. He bought them 2 first class tickets to Costa Rica and surprised her with them.

To say the least, Isabella was surprised and very happy. After getting all the clothes they could take they set foot to the airport and traveled to Costa Rica.

But they didn't stop there, no they traveled everywhere. They traveled to South America and Isabella got to meet Derek's little sister, Cora. Those two got along so well it was more like she was Isabella's sister more than Derek's.

He didn't mind it though, he was glad his sister liked the girl, that was when they never pranked him all the time. But nonetheless he was happy they had met.

After visiting Cora in South America, they surprised Isaac and Allison with a visit. Isabella had got the location from Chris on where they were. Apparently Isaac was taking Allison on a date to some French Museum.

So of course, Isabella thought it was a great idea to pop in and surprise them on their date.

Her and Derek walked in and saw them looking at some sculpture and decided it was the perfect time.

"I'm sorry to bother you guys, but could you take a picture of us if you don't mind." Isabella asked, when she stood behind them with Derek.

She had a smile plastered on her face the whole time, because she knew no one had called to tell them that she was alive.

As Isaac and Allison turned around their jaws dropped. "What's the matter, you guys look like you've seen a ghost." she laughed.

Needless to say, Allison was quite happy to see the woman alive because she didn't say anything she just rushed over to hug her.

Isabella accepted the hug with open arms, Derek just stood behind watching the whole thing with a sincere smile on his face.

As the girls started talking and having their own conversation about everything that happened in Beacon Hills, Derek and Isaac had a chat of their own. They had a close brother bond and Isaac was happy to see the older wolf again.

They eventually left the museum so the two could finish their date, but they did stay in France for 2 weeks exploring everything.

Then they set off to London to check in one two special werewolf twins.

It took a while to track them but when they did, Derek noticed that they had met Jackson his first technical beta.

They apparently were all at a restaurant, and when they saw each other it was like a chaotic group of children. Isabella matched Jackson sarcasm and insults, she thought Jackson was a little brother she never wanted but truly loved.

Aiden and Ethan were confused at first because they thought she was dead, but soon learned what happened and were truly grateful the woman was okay.

They thought of her like a little sister that they would always protect even if she was older than them.

Derek throughout the whole thing actually opened up, and wasn't as grumpy when everyone originally met him.

In France, he made progress with Allison and decided he wouldn't harbor any hard feelings towards the girl since it was her aunt and grandpa who painted their family image so terribly.

And in London, Derek learned to tolerate Jackson and decided he actually liked the twins once he actually got to properly know them.

But let's be real, he tolerated everyone for Isabella because he wanted her to be happy and he also knew she wanted to see him happy.

He was content over the year they had spent together and they had grew even closer, but of course when somethings good, something bad always follows behind it.

☁︎︎

In Cabeceiras, Brazil, Chris Argent was getting into a parked police car. Closing the door behind him he was met with a gun by the police officer. "Is that really necessary?" he asked.

"An Argent asks me to meet him alone in the middle of the night? I bring a gun. Now, how about you put yours on the dashboard where I can see it." the officer demanded.

As Chris went to pull the gun out the officer stated "Slowly, please." seeing as Chris was moving too fast for his liking.

Chris then slowly removed the gun from his pants and put it on the dashboard like the man instructed. "Good?" he asked. "Let's not forget the sidearm in your waistband." he mentioned.

And Chris pulled it out and put it on the dashboard with his other gun. "The blade in your sleeve."

"You think I have a knife up my sleeve?" Chris questioned, then continued to pull the knife out. "You wanna leave me completely defenseless?"

"You're lucky I'm not handcuffing you to the door." the officer said, then Chris put his knife on the dashboard as well. "May I?" he said, referring to the money in his pocket that he was going to pull out.

The officer nodded his head 'yes' and Chris pulled out the envelope of cash and handed it to him.

Taking the cash in his hand the officer asked, "Are you trying to insult me with a bribe?"

"It's payment for anyone willing to give information." he said.

"You're going to need more than this if you want anyone to talk, and it's not about greed." the officer stated.

"Fear?" Chris asked.

"Superstition." the officer corrected.

"What kind?" he asked.

"You don't want to know." the officer said, shaking his head.

"Capitao, I came here specifically to find out things I don't wanna know. Tell me what everyone's so afraid of down here. You might be surprised at how open–minded I can be." Chris explained.

The officer took a deep breath, "It began with a mass murder."

[ the officer's voice with be in italics for his voice over ]

"We found twelve bodies. No identities, no suspects, no clues. We started an investigation, bringing in every available man to find the killers. But we weren't the only ones looking. Someone else wanted to know who had done this. Someone who wanted to find the killers more than we did."

"Someone angry, very angry."

In a warehouse, a deal was going down. The sellers heard clanging and turned to find where it was coming from.

"Don't be stupid I'm over here." a feminine voice said.

The dealer walked over to where he heard the voice and was soon bashed over the head.

Hearing a distant thud, another dealer was alerted.

"They came in broad daylight, attacking in silence."

After the dealer turned his back after hearing the noise a buyer was dragged and thrown across the room.

"They said he moved with impossible speed and she moved with the shadows. His teeth, as sharp as razors and her hands moved with black clouds. He stood more than eight feet tall and she wore all black."

"Eight feet?" Chris questioned.

"Small towns, big superstitions."

"What happened next?"

"It came at them with incredible strength."

The dealer readied his gun, but was pushed back before he could fire.

"They came at them with incredible strength. And what happened then was desumano. They said their eyes glowed."

"Blue and black?" Chris guessed.

"You've seen them?" the officer asked.

"Up close," Chris admitted.

"So you believe it, too? You believe in werewolves and the shadow woman?"

"I believe in Derek Hale and Isabella Black."

Derek and Isabella walked over to the man on the floor.

"Please don't kill me. Please no." he begged.

Isabella laughed at the man.

"Let me go."

Derek bent down to the grown to look the man straight in the eye while Isabella stood tall watching.

"Say it." Derek instructed.

"Lobisomem and Mulher Sombra, wolfman and shadow woman." the dealer whispered.

"I was kind of hoping for a better name. Derek make them give me a better name." Isabella asked.

"I will." he said looking up to her, which made her smile.

He then looked back at the man, "So you know what I can do."

Isabella felt someone coming up behind them. So she turned around and let the shadows take care of them.

Then she looked back down to the man on the floor.

"Why are you hunting werewolves?" Derek asked.

"Because of you, he wants you both. He doesn't care about the others, he only wants you."

"Who?"

The man didn't answer, so Derek growled in his face and Isabella flashed her black eyes and made a sword from shadows and pointed it to his throat.

"Who wants us?" Derek asked again in a distorted voice.

"They all said the same thing, Gerard."

"I need to find Derek Hale and Isabella Black." Chris said, grabbing his things off the dashboard.

"You can't just find them, they said he turned into a wolf and disappeared into the fog and she disappeared with the shadows."

"They drove a car."

"The Lobisomem and Mulher Sombra drive no car."

"Trust me, they drove."

As they were both about to leave the warehouse Isabella caught Derek's attention.

"Hey Der, I got something you should see." she said, standing next to something covered in a tarp.

He walked over to her, and looked at the outline of the vehicle and knew exactly what it was. He then looked back to Isabella who had her eyebrows raised in excitement.

As he uncovered it, it was revealed to be a black camero like he used to drive.

"Something tells me we should take it." she suggested.

Next thing you know, Derek was driving through a wooden door exiting the warehouse. Doing a donut in the gravel and took off while Isabella was in the passenger seat laughing.

[ the officer's voice is going back to regular print ]

Stepping into the crime scene, "There were twelve bodies. Interpol put out a red alert for Derek Hale and Isabella Black. Who would believe me if I tried to tell them the truth?" the officer stated.

But Chris wasn't focused on what he was saying, he was focused on the big message written on the wall in front of him.

"Do you know it?" the officer asked, as he saw what the man was looking at.

"That's where all of this started. And where it's all gonna end." Chris said, looking at the wall.

Beacon Hills was written in all caps with blood.

☁︎︎

In the dead of night, Derek and Isabella were walking through a smalltown. Derek turned to look behind them which alerted Isabella.

"Someones coming?" she asked and he nodded his head.

They then split up to meet when they had whoever was tailing them.

Chris Argent was right behind Derek and Isabella, as he was looking for them knowing they'd be together.

As he was walking past an auto shop, he was snatched up by Derek, and was met with a sword to his throat by Isabella.

"Derek, Isabella."

Seeing it was Chris, Derek said, "You could've called."

"You don't have a phone." he mentioned.

"I should probably get one." he agreed.

"I've been telling you this for the past year, but you didn't want to listen." Isabella commented.

He turned to her, "I know, you're right and I'm wrong." with a smile Isabella nodded her head.

Derek let Chris go and they were now walking towards a gate, but Isabella felt that something was off so she quietly cloaked herself till all was revealed.

"There's another vault?" Chris asked.

"More than one hale, more than one vault." Derek answered and unlocked the gate.

"I get the need to keep your feet from the fire, but I also don't think you wanna see Beacon Hills burn to the ground."

"You asking us to come back?"

"How about, admitting with great difficulty that we need you both?"

"That sounds more like an Argent."

Isabella silently laughed at the two.

"And protecting Beacon Hills sounds more like a Hale with the added bonus of a Black."

"Hey, if we go back it's not for Beacon Hills. And there's something we gotta take care of first." Derek said, holding up a vial of yellow wolfsbane.

"Where did you get that?" Chris questioned.

"In Antarctica, where do you think genius." Isabella sassed. Chris looked around but couldn't see her. Derek already knew what she was doing, having himself seen her do it before.

"Whoever murdered that pack in Brazil, they were looking for this. And Ella and I are going to make sure they never find it." Derek said.

"Get rid of it." Chris stated.

"You know it's not just a poison."

"Maybe they want it because it's an antidote."

"And I'm Martha Stewart." "Is that why Gerard wants it?" Derek and Isabella both said at the same time.

"Well, it sounds like you already know the answer."

"So you want us to help you stop him, when you're the one who brought him back?"

"Gerard knew more about the beast than any of us. So, like it or not, he was the ally we needed at the time."

"Um, hello did you forget I know things as well you could've called me. I actually have a phone." Isabella said.

"We didn't know where you and Derek were at the time, so we settled with the closest option. But you're the one we need right now."

They then were interrupted by the FBI.

"Federal Agents! Don't Move! Put your hands in the air!" they shouted.

"Well, they can't see me so even if I were moving they can't do anything about it." Isabella felt the need to say.

Derek and Chris complied with their instructions, but Isabella did her own thing.

Moments later the FBI agents were shot in the back along with Derek and Chris.

The shooter revealed to be none other than Kate Argent, alive and breathing.

While being shot the yellow wolfsbane was knocked out of Derek's hand onto the ground, so he tried to grab it but his hand was stepped on.

Kate then bent down to his level, "Hey handsome, miss me?"

If Derek wasn't annoyed before he was definitely annoyed now. But he also knew that Kate didn't know that Isabella was there. And knowing she hated Kate, it wasn't going to look good for her in a minute.

Standing up she readied her gun, "You're just as popular as ever, aren't you? Must be those blue eyes." she said, kicking Derek in the face. "And those perfect cheekbones." and then she hit him over the head with the butt of her shotgun.

Recovering from the blows to the head Derek sassed back, "I thought it was my smile." then he asked. "How was that, did I do alright?"

Kate didn't know who he was talking to but was soon found out.

"That was perfect, even I would've said something better, but for you it was great." Isabella said.

It had been a while since Kate heard that voice, it was from a woman who nearly killed her in Mexico.

Isabella revealed herself behind Kate. "You know Kate I'm down to go another round, how about you? I feel like in Mexico I didn't do a good enough job." she admitted with a smirk on her face.

Kate didn't let it show on her face, but her heartbeat said differently. She was scared, she was never scared when Peter slashed her throat or when she got shot by her own brother with a wolfsbane bullet. But she was scared of the woman who could kill her without blinking an eye.

"I never mentioned this, but the only person who gets to hit Derek when he's being annoying, is me." Derek rolled his eyes at the statement, but nonetheless agreed.

Kate was so distracted with Isabella she didn't see her brother get up and shoot at her.

Running she hid behind the FBI vehicles, "You always gotta ruin a good time, Chris!"

"I think he did a great job, you were beginning to be a little bit boring." Isabella stated.

"You think Gerard, someone with some much hate is gonna have any love left over for you?"

"Wait this is about daddy issues, I can save you a lot of pain and suffering by recommending family therapy, but then again I don't think it would work for your family." Isabella commented.

Kate chuckled, "You're the one looking for a father to love him, Chris. All I want is some, good old–fashioned revenge. This wolfsbane is going in a bullet, a bullet for Scott McCall."

Isabella had enough, so she threw a knife at Kate hitting her in the abdomen. Kate grunted and took off.

Isabella then walked over to Derek and helped him up, as they started walking Chris called for them. "Get back to Beacon Hills, Warn Scott." Derek said, and they took off in Kate's direction.

☁︎︎

Scott McCall and his friends were being gunned down at an abandoned parking lot. Shots rang out from every assailant and they wouldn't stop till they were all dead.

A shooter was about to make a deadly shot when out of nowhere a fiamilar blue jeep hit him. Stiles Stilinski pulled up "Didn't think you're doing this without me did you?" "Without us, you mean." Isabella corrected, with Derek right beside here.

Derek growled while flashing his blue eyes and jumped high up in the air and clawed two assailants. "That was so dramatic Derek, I give you a 10 out of 10, I'm proud." she said with a small smile growing on her face. Derek looked over his shoulder with a toothy smile himself.

Isabella then took the shadows from the night and made shadow whips and snapped peoples necks. The hunters that weren't down got in their cars and drove away.

"I think we're officially scary guys. That warms my heart." Isabella said, placing a hand over her heart dramatically.

"Can't believe you didn't tell me about any of this. Not a word, not a single word." Stiles confronted Lydia.

"We had reasons, really good reasons." Lydia said.

Isabella walked over to the wounded wolf, "Hey Deuc."

He lightly smiled at the girl, the last time he had seen her she was 9 years old.

"Gerard...what he fears most...he can't beat you. And he knows it" Deucalion told Scott.

"You're damn right, he can't beat you Scott." Isabella agreed.

Deucalion then passed away.

"It's really started hasn't it." Malia said.

"What started?" Stiles asked.

"It's an all–out war." Scott said.

Then turned to look at Derek and Isabella, and walked over to hug the two.

"As much as enjoy the impromptu family reunion, what are you doing here?" Peter asked.

"We just came for the tacos, what do you think we're doing here fossil?" Isabella sassed.

Derek put a hand over her mouth, while she rolled her eyes.

"We found a pack slaughtered in Brazil. There were two words written in blood on the wall. "Beacon Hills." Derek explained.

"You guys came back for Beacon Hills?" Scott asked.

"No wme chame bahke fhore youw." Isabella mumbled, as Derek's hand was still over her mouth. Derek brought his hand down so Scott could hear her more clearly. "No, we came back for you, silly."

The heartfelt moment was interrupted by Stiles radio making static noises. "Blood and destruction. Dreadful objects so familiar. All pity choked with custom of fell deeds.Caesar's spirit, ranging for revenge. With Ate by his side, come hot from hell. Shall in these confines with a monarch's voice." Gerards voice sounded, then was cut out by static.

"Do you know the rest, Scott? Do you know your Shakespeare?" Gerard asked.

Scott then looked to Derek, who nodded his head and answered the question. "Cry, 'Havoc!' and let slip the dogs of war."  Isabella smiled at him, "Look at you being a bookworm." which he slyly smiled back at.

"War, indeed. Welcome back, Derek, tell me did you bring the beautiful Isabella with you? You must all be feeling rather nostalgic. Are you pleased with the little family reunion I've gathered around you, Scott?"

"Yeah well, why don't you come join us and I can thank you in person?"

"I even have a few visitors for you, from London. Even someone like Jackson Whittemore couldn't resist coming back to Beacon Hills. Say hello Jackson." and Gerard tased him.

Everyone could hear his grunts of pain on the radio. Hearing it made Isabella's eyes switch to a cold black. Derek saw this and placed a hand on her back calming her down, because he knew what Jackson meant to her.

"Do it again, old man. Come a little closer. In fact when you're finished yapping, I bet Isabella will be on her way coming to kill you." Jackson threatened.

Hearing this over the microphone, Isabella nodded her head "That's my boy." she said proudly.

"Lost none of his charm has he?"

"No, in fact he gained some more from me." Isabella muttered.

"You can find him here with us at the armory, Scott. In fact, I'm going to tell you where to find all of them." Gerard said.

"Your Deputy HellHound met some friends of his while responding to a call at Eichen House. Your father was on his way back from San Francisco with the goal of entering the fight, but he didn't get far. You might want to tell your mother to skip her shift at the hospital tonight. Liam and his friends are there now. Optimistic of them, but woefully ill-advised."

"This is how you wage war, Scott. A strategic positioning of your army against theirs. Which is why you will come to me, you will try to save as many as you can. And you might even save a few, but your limited resources will be spread thin. Ultimately you will fail. The dogs of war, Scott. They're coming for you..." Gerard threatened. The radio then cut out.

☁︎︎

Everybody regrouped at the clinic.

"It was, literally day one at my internship, and up comes this slide about a guy and a woman that they've been chasing in the woods in North Carolina." Stiles started explaining.

"I thought you guys were in South America." Malia questioned.

"We were, the bodies of the werewolves I told you about? They blamed me, and by association they blamed Isabella." Derek said, as he had his arms wrapped around Isabella.

The affection didn't go unnoticed by Scott seeing as they had been rather touchy feely with each other the whole night.

"So I learned that the FBI has cornered this feral mass-murdering couple..." Stiles began to say.

"We found a group of hunters gathering in a meeting place. We were trying to get information." Derek defined and Isabella laughed.

"Well, the FBI found out about it too and they were planning a SWAT assault to take them down. Dead or Alive, and as we know all know, though, with Derek preferably dead and Isabella they wanted her dead on all accounts ." Stiles added.

The group looked at her, "What it's not my fault, they came at me while I was eating food and didn't wait till I was finished. I didn't kill them, I just put a couple of them in the hospital." Isabella down played, shrugging her shoulders.

"Anyways, I convinced them to take me on the Field Op." Stiles continued.

"You convinced the FBI to bring an intern onto an extremely dangerous field operation?" Lydia questioned.

"I'm surprised he didn't convince them he could lead it." Derek commented, making Isabella chuckle.

"I tried, didn't work. Anyway, long story short, I basically, you know, had to save Derek's life."

"That's not how it happened." Derek said, shaking his head. Isabella turned around and started laughing in his chest.

"Yeah, I may have left out a detail, but that's the gist of what happened. It was the essential essence of it."

"First you didn't even add Isabella in it–" Derek began to say.

"Because he knows not to, isn't that right Stiles?" She turned her head to look at the boy.

Which of course he nodded his head very quickly. Then Derek continued explaining, "You couldn't walk."

"I was limping."

"You couldn't walk and I know that because I was carrying you."

"It's true, I was there and I even have it on camera." Isabella said.

"They shot my toe. You want to see it?"

"Um no, Stiles if you have a foot feetish there's people online for that." Isabella joked.

"My toe was caught in the crossfire, it was obliterated." Stiles explained.

"Okay, forget your toe." Lydia said.

"Justice for Stiles' toe." Isabella said, making the boy slightly smile.

"Guys it's not just the hunters. We've got another problem."

"It's called the Anuk–ite." Lydia stated.

"The fear monster?" Isabella questioned.

Scott, Lydia and Malia nodded their heads.

Scott then looked at Isabella and Derek weirdly.

"What is it Scott?" Isabella asked.

"What is it with you guys tonight, you've been all touchy feely with each other since you've gotten here?" Scott asked.

Isabella looked up at Derek, he nodded and she looked back to the group.

"Plain and simple, we're together." she stated.

"We know you guys are always together, I'm surprised you haven't started dating yet." Malia said.

Lydia then turned to her, "I think that's what she meant by saying they were together."

Malia then looked to Isabella to see if Lydia was right, and Isabella nodded her head yes.

"I thought I mentioned that when I said, a feral mass-murdering couple." Stiles said.

"We just thought you meant together as friends." Scott said.

☁︎︎

Yeah, Isabella and Derek had gotten together in France, it was like 2 months after they left Mexico and Derek confessed his feelings for the girl. When they had visited Cora, she also stated how she saw the way he looked at her and that he just needed to ask her out already. Which he finally did after working up the nerve. All he had to do was ask once, and she said yes. They were officially boyfriend and girlfriend. To Derek, Zella was still known to him as his best–friend but Isabella was different.

Needless to say, everyone in the room was happy for them and didn't understand why this happened sooner.

☁︎︎

They then started going back to the conversation about the Anuk–ite.

"It can get into your head. It can make you see things." Scott described.

"What does it look like?" Stiles asked.

"It used to look like two ordinary people, but somehow they merged. All we know is that it's made of two faces. One human, the other supernatural." Lydia said.

"It's a shapeshifter just like us. But it knows what you're afraid of. What you fear most." Scott explained.

"And now it can kill you just by looking at you." Malia added.

"If you're asking me to fight blind I can do that." Isabella said.

"Okay, so you're telling me we gotta go up against this thing blind? And face our deepest fears." Stiles questioned.

"Yeah. Why? What do you fear the most?" Scott asked.

"Blindness." Stiles stated.

"You are so cliche." Isabella said.

"Becoming blind?" Derek questioned.

"Yeah, terrified of it. Always have been. This just seems to be a situation of unfortunate overlap." Stiles said.

"Lydia, you and Stiles need to find Argent, get to the Armory, and rescue Jackson." Scott announced.

"I don't think we have time to wait for him. I've gotten through those doors once, anyway. I can do it again." Lydia said.

"Can we slow it down just for a second, make sure I'm grasping this? So, we're actually talking about doing this? We're gonna do exactly what Gerard wants us to do? Is that right?" Stiles asked.

"I think that if we stop the Anuk–ite, we stop it all." Scott said.

"Stopping this thing can stop Gerard and the hunters?" Derk asked.

"Not all of them are hunters."

"He's right. Most of them are ordinary people acting out of fear." Lydia added.

"Monroe's not going to change. But I think that we can reach the others. Most of them actually."

"The Anuk–ite is causing them to come from a place of fear."

"Well, fear's pretty motivating. Especially when it leads to anger." Derek said.

"And I think that if we can take out the fear, we can take out the fightin them too. They're afraid of us but they don't have to be. They just have to change their minds." Scott stated.

"Well, we have to change their minds." Derek added.

"Okay, we can face the Anuk–ite. We can try to fight it blind. We can try to face our fears, but we still need to know how to catch it." Malia said.

"We will figure that out. We always do." Scott said, confidently.

"Oh, it is nice to see that somebody hasn't lost their optimism." Derek commented.

"Not yet." Scott replied.

"I mean you really don't. I remember when Zella tried multiple times to kill Stiles over here." she said, pointing to the whiskey eyed boy. "Those were some good times." she muttered, which made Derek nudge her side playfully.

"Well, I have." Stiles said.

"We will buy you time, Scott. Who knows? Maybe Jackson has an answer." Lydia said, dismissing Stiles previous statement.

"Maybe Argent will come back with one." Malia added.

"You three, you're with me and we need Peter. Anyone who could help stop this thing or slow it down."

"Where we headed?"

"The high school."

"I swear everything happens at that high school." Isabella said, scoffing.

"That's where we're gonna find this thing?" Derek asked.

"No, it'll find us." Scott corrected.

☁︎︎

Isabella, Derek, Scott and Malia all entered the high school to find Peter captivated in a statue.

"And I thought Peter would be smarter, guess not. Well, better luck next time." Isabella said.

"He's not dead. He can't be" Malia hoped.

Derek then listened into his chest and heard a faint heartbeat.

"There's a heartbeat, but it's faint. And we're not alone." Derek said.

"Looks like it's time for me to disappear." and Isabella cloaked herself.

Scott then looked at Peter's statue with certainty. "Scott?" Malia asked.

"I think I know how to catch it." he said.

Now they're all hovering around the corner waiting for the hunters to run the other way.

"We can't just hide. Peter's not gonna last like that." Malia said.

"Oh neither will we if that thing finds us too." Derek said.

"We've got to wait for Stiles."

"I'm not waiting here." Malia said, then took off down the stairs.

"My heart goes out to her, I'll pick out the flowers." Isabella said, wiping a fake tear from her face, even though Derek or Scott couldn't see her.

They then started running after her. "Whoa, hey, Malia, hold on." Scott said, then turned his attention to someone standing on the other end of the hallway.

Monroe shot a wolfsbane bullet from her gun hitting Scott in the shoulder.

Malia checked on Scott but he told her to not let Monroe get away, and with that Malia growled and took off after the woman.

Scott yelled in pain, while Derek sat him up. Isabella uncloaked herself to look at the wound. "No, you're not okay. It's yellow wolfsbane, it's gonna kill you." she admitted.

"What?" Scott said, shocked.

Isabella and Derek helped Scott to the chemistry room room, so they could burn the wolfbane out.

"Sit down, sit down."

"Derek, Isabella just go. Help Malia, please." Scott said.

"No we're not leaving you, we gotta get rid of this." Isabella stated.

"And there's only one way to get rid of wolfsbane, you gotta burn it out." Derek said, grabbing a lighter.

"While you help Scott, I'll be on the lookout outside." Isabella said, walking towards the door.

Derek turned to her, "Stay safe." she smirked "Always." and headed out the door.

☁︎︎

After burning out the wolfsbane in Scott's body, Derek heard a scream, it sounded like hers like Isabella's.

He turned around with glowing blue eyes and sharp canines. He growled and headed out the door towards her screams.

Walking down an empty hallway Derek heard her "I can't stay anymore, Derek." He also saw a black bloody handprint on the wall, and a trail of her blood headed down the corridor.

But he didn't see her, just her shadow. He turned around, he didn't know if it was real or fake.

"Derek," she whimpered, and started to cough.

"Derek, I'm dying, and this time, I won't come back." she said.

Derek screwed his eyes shut, but unleashed his claws and turned around.

"Don't you want to see me one last time?"

"Do you love me anymore?" she said with a raspy breath.

"Are you not gonna hold me one last time?"

Derek growled lowly.

"Or are you going to try and save me?" and coughed.

"You're not real," he said.

"Derek, please I don't want to leave you. Please don't make me leave you." she begged as she started crying.

He backed up. But she walked closer to him.

"Can't you help me?"

Derek tried swinging at the creature.

"Derek, please help me."

"Look at me, you know I love you."

He tried swinging and he hit her and he heard her groan in pain.

"Why'd you hurt me?" she said in a shaky voice.

"Can't you just see me one more time, before I die."

"Don't you want to say goodbye, you didn't get to last time." she said, and then grabbed his hands.

"Just hold me one last time." she pleaded.

"Please, look at me one last time." she said, bringing his hand to her cheek.

He snatched his hand away.

"Look at me." it demanded, with a powerful voice.

And Derek finally gave in and looked at her. And was turned to stone.

☁︎︎

Walking down the halls of the school, Isabella went looking for Derek. She talked to Scott before he left for the library, but she didn't see Derek.

She turned a corner and saw him turned into stone, she was about to go up to him when two hunters gathered around.

She knew she had to cloak herself again, she wasn't going to let them kill him permanently, not while she was still living.

While Scott was fighting the Anuk–ite, Isabella made her way down the hall to the hunters.

She saw them readying their guns pointing it at his head and his heart. So she took off running down the hall.

Uncloaking herself, she created a throwing knife in her hand and pierced one hunter in the heart. And she let the darkness take the other.

While she was taking care of the hunters, Derek broke out of his statued shell. Finishing off the last hunter she turned to him, and as she was about to say something she was met with a kiss.

"What was that for?"

"Not dying."

"I told you I was going to stay safe, I meant that." she said, sincerely.

"I know," he said with a smile.

And they both made their way down to the library and in hand.

Passing by a body in the hallway, Isabella heard Monroe on the radio.

"This is Monroe. Someone report with a status. Now. Someone respond. Someone talk to me. What's happening? Someone pick–up the radio and tell me what's happening."

Isabella looked at Derek, "This is too good to pass up." she said, grabbing the radio.

Pressing the button she responded with, "You lost, bitch." and smirked.

And then she and Derek sat off to the library once again.

When they made it they saw him sitting down on the stairs and his eyes covered in blood.

Malia soon came in worried for her boyfriend.

"Scott, you have to heal. If your eyes stay like this much longer, the damage is gonna be permanent." Derek told him.

Scott tried but he couldn't focus, well at least not until Malia gave him something to concentrate about.

One could say he was cured with a kiss, with that Scott could see again.

☁︎︎

Scott was talking to a kid named Alec, who had now shared a similar experience as he did.

"The people who are hunting you... they've got a leader. Her name's Monroe. She's got a lot of followers."

"Like what? Hundreds?" Alec guessed.

"Thousands, all over the world." Scott corrected.

"So what are we doing here?" he asked.

"Well, we're meeting up with some people who can help us. Some of them are always with us. Others come when we need them. But tonight...we need everyone we can get." Scott explained.

And on cue, a blue jeep pulled up anong with a black camaro and a dark blue toyota.

Isabella and Derek stepped out of the camaro, walked around the car and grasped each other's hand and walked towards Scott.

Stiles and Lydia exited the jeep and Malia and Liam exited the toyota.

"Are they all, uh, different?" Alec asked.

"Some of them are." Scott said, looking at Malia.

"Some can do things you'd never believe." he said, turning to look at Isabella.

"And others might only be human." he said, looking towards Stiles.

"But they make up for it by being really smart." He said, looking at Lydia.

"Or really good in a fight." he finished saying.

"Who are they?"

"My friends. My pack, and you can be with us if you want. But you're gonna have to fight." Scott stated.

"Against Monroe?"

"And everyone that follows her." Scott added.

"She said she'd find me. That she'd hunt me down and kill me. She didn't care how old I was. She said I was a monster." Alec told Scott.

"If you're a monster then I'm a werewolf and everyone knows I'm far from it." Isabella spoke up, with a small smirk on her face.

Scott smiled at her statement, "You're not a monster. You're a werewolf, like me."

And everyone hugged each other and started walking together.

And Derek had Isabella right by his side, the whole time.

I want to thank each and everyone of you for reading my stories. It has been a very wonderful experience writing it and interacting with you guys.

With that being said, I like to thank, @staliasluvr @_crystal_lovez_ @sweetblueday @LeahMcfarlane @FatiDi0 @aniboo1 @mult1_ph4nd0m @merlinsalamanca @Dhyante , for consistently going on this journey with me.

I thank each and every single one of my readers for their support, I couldn't have asked for anything better. I'm glad you all enjoyed this series and I'm sad to see it go, but that does not mean I'm going to stop writing.

In fact, I have another book that I'm about to publish called: The Woman In White, it takes place during season 1 of Teen Wolf, and I would like it if you could give it a read, but if not thank you all for reading this book and The entity.

I've had a lot of fun writing both and I don't want to stop writing anytime soon.

Again thank you all!
