The screen lights back up and it shows Ellie in her bed wimping as she rolls her around sweat covering her body and her pale skin.
"That doesn't seem good," Ellie mutters looking at herself.
"The blood lost I think is beginning to affect your body," Melissa says looking at the girl on the screen.
Suddenly Ellie gasps awake and covers her mouth before running towards her bathroom and begins to throw up.
But the most worrying part was that she was throwing
up black blood.
"Ellie," Chris whispers looking at his daughter worriedly who gulps worriedly.
Ellie looks wide-eyed at the toilet before carefully removing the bandage around her arm and seeing black blood coming from it as well.
"Your body isn't healing and it's now affecting major parts of your body," Talia says looking at the screen.
"No," Ellie whispers worriedly as she gets up and begins to clean up all the black blood.
Ellie then grabs a cardigan and her shoes that went with her grey joggers and cropped top before rubbing out her bedroom door with her keys and phone.
"I'll be back later!" Ellie yells as she slams the door shut making Allison and Chris look towards the front door confused before looking at each other wondering what was going on with Ellie.
"Uhm well, I'm dying," Ellie states making everyone glare at her as she smiles innocently at them.
━━━━━ ✧༺✶༻✧ ━━━━━
Ellie slams on her brakes as she throws her car in park looking up to the animal clinic.
"If anyone knows Deaton will," Talia says nodding along making Ellie hope he did.
Ellie rushes out of her car and heads toward the front door and throws it open as she rushes in.
Hearing someone entering Deaton walks towards the entrance before pausing and seeing Ellie looking at him with fear in her eyes as well as tears.
"I think sometimes happening to me. Something bad," Ellie tells him afraid as her voice begins to freak slightly.
"Uhm I-I think I'm dying," Ellie tells him trying to not sob making Deaton look at her worriedly as he opens the door letting Ellie pass.
Chris pulls his daughter closer to him kissing her forehead worriedly as Ellie cuddles into him.
Walking into the exam room Ellie sits down on the table in the middle as Deaton follows her looking at the girl closely seeing how her skin is getting paler by the second. She looked sick and as a werewolf, she shouldn't.
"I'm not healing. My nose is bleeding from small spells. And this morning I started throwing up black blood," Ellie tells him worriedly as Deaton nods.
"When did it start?" Deaton asks her as Ellie removed her cardigan letting him see the bandage soaked in black blood and the stitches ripped once again.
"After this. Well, it was the first symptom," Ellie tells him as Deaton nods and grabs a pair of gloves before heading towards Ellie as he examines the wound.
"Hmm," Deaton tells her as Ellie looks at him worriedly.
"Do you know what's happening to me?" Ellie asks hopefully as Deaton pulls back and looks at her.
"I wish I did but either your symptoms aren't as advanced as they need to be to know or...," Deaton begins as Ellie looks at him worriedly and slightly afraid.
"Or what?" Ellie asks him with a shaky breath as Deaton sighs.
"Your body is rejecting the bite," Deaton tells her as Ellie looks wide-eyed.
Derek and Chris tense at that as Ellie holds onto her dad even closer.
"What? Why would it be happening now? It's been months!" Ellie exclaims as she runs her fingers through her hair worriedly.
"Well it might have been you just didn't realize it. But being in Beacon Hills under more stress and using your abilities more is speeding it up," Deaton tells her as Ellie looks at him.
"That's not it," Peter mutters shaking his head. He has seen what your body does it rejects the bite and it doesn't do that.
It could be maybe her guardian side isn't agreeing with her werewolf side or someone is causing this to happen to her. To weaken her for some reason.
"So what do I do?" Ellie asks him with a shaky breath as Deaton crosses his arms looking at her after removing his gloves.
"Don't use your magic or your werewolf side. It's speeding up whatever is going on and you might want to consider telling your family," Deaton tells her as Ellie shakes her head right away at that.
"No, they have enough going on. So please just don't tell them. And if I tell my dad or anyone he and Derek will feel guilty. Just not know. Let me figure this out," Ellie tells him making Deaton nod although hesitantly.
"Ellie," Derek and Chris tell her shaking their heads as she sighs. She liked handling things herself it was hard giving others control, especially over her own life. She already didn't have control over it.
"Thank you," Ellie tells him softly as she hops off the table stumbling slightly making Deaton reach for her to stabilize her.
"I'm okay," Ellie tells him making Deaton nod as he looks at her worriedly.
"Goodbye Dr.Deaton," Ellie tells him as she leaves making Deaton watch her leave worriedly.
"You clearly aren't," Allison says sternly shaking her head as Ellie reaches for her hand and squeezes it making Allison look at her.
Ellie smiles softly at her making Allison head towards her arms and hug her tightly to her.
━━━━━ ✧༺✶༻✧ ━━━━━
Ellie sighs as she walks into her room being careful as her phone begins going off making her look at it and answer it right away.
"Yes, Stiles?" Ellie asks making Stiles sigh in relief.
"Where are you?! I need to tell you something," Stiles asks worriedly making Ellie pause at that for a moment before answering.
"Period cramps," Ellie tells Stiles who scrunches his nose up disgusted.
"Really?" Stiles asks Ellie who shrugs at him.
"Sorry I asked, but do you need anything?" Stiles asks making Ellie smile.
"Such a cute little boy," Ellie tells Stiles scrunching up her nose with a smile as Stiles blush at that.
"I'm fine thank you for asking, but what did you need to tell me?" Ellie asks as Stiles nods.
"Right I think these deaths are sacrifices. Human sacrifices," Stiles tells her making Ellie pause.
"Oh great," Ellie and Stiles mutter together as they roll their eyes.
"Explain please," Ellie tells him as Stiles nods knowing if anyone could help it would be Ellie.
"Definitely," Ellie tells Stiles who smiles at that.
"All these symbols and things-- the triskeles, the bank logo, the mountain ash-- all of it is from the Celtic Druids. And anyone who has ever looked up "human sacrifice," Stiles says making Ellie nod at that.
"You ever hear of the Lindow man? Two-thousand-year-old body found in England? He was found strangled, head bashed in, throat cut-- three-fold death. They also found pollen grains in his stomach... Guess what favorite Druid plant that was? Wait I forgot who I am talking to," Stiles says making Ellie chuckle.
"I read that when I was like thirteen," Ellie tells Stiles who rolls his eyes at that.
"Mistletoe. Are there any other similarities?" Ellie asks him making Stiles smile happy someone believed him and was helping him.
"Always," Ellie whispers to Stiles who smiles at that.
"There's that guy at the pool who was a virgin, but the one they found today wasn't. He was in ROTC," Stiles tells Ellie who pauses at that.
"Virgins, healers, philosophers, warriors...," Ellie says softly making Stiles pause.
"What?" Stiles asks her confused.
"Each grouping of four would have its own purpose, its own type of power, but sometimes the sacrifices include one more. Guardians," Ellie tells Stiles as she begins to cough making Stiles worried Ellie pulls back seeing the black blood now in her hands.
"Oh, that bitch!" Ellie suddenly exclaims making everyone look at her confused as she glares at the screen full of hatred.
"Hey, are you okay?" Stiles asks worriedly as Ellie pushes down her tears trying to get her breathing to even out.
"Yeah, just something in my throat. I got to go Stiles but you should go talk to Deaton he will know a lot about this," Ellie tells Stiles who nods although worriedly.
"Alright I will but if you need anything call me," Stiles says as Ellie nods slowly.
"I will. Thanks, Stiles," Ellie tells him as she hangs up and looks in the mirror wiping her eyes as she puts on some makeup to not like she dying before heading towards the front and heading towards someone who might have some answers.
Derek.
Derek looks towards Ellie who feels eyes on her and looks towards Derek with a soft smile on her lips.
━━━━━ ✧༺✶༻✧ ━━━━━
Ellie pulls up at Derek's loft and gets out of her car before she suddenly freezes hearing a roar.
A familiar roar.
Derek's roar.
"Alright, who did you piss off this time?" Stiles asks Derek making Derek glare at him.
With that one sound, Ellie rushes into the building and heads straight to Derek.
Running towards the open loft door Ellie slides to a stop seeing Cora being held down by an alpha.
"Ennis," Talia says glaring at the wolf holding her daughter down. She hated him probably almost as much as she hated Peter.
She then saw the man she saw in Isaac's mind and the one at the school. The blind man.
But what Ellie enraged was seeing Derek with a metal pole straight through him.
Talia gasped as she holds Derek tightly to her who kisses his mom's forehead reminding her he was with her and safe.
"Phasmatos incendere ad pulvox!" Ellie says making the three alphas scream as they fall to their knees as they hold their heads.
"Ellie! Deaton just said to stop that! And doing a powerful spell on three alphas at once isn't good for you!" Allison yells at her sister who nods her head smiling at her sister softly.
"I'm sorry did you think come and attack them and think nothing was going to happen to you?" Ellie asks them angrily as the three alphas turn to her.
"Eleanor Argent. The Hybrid. The Guardian and werewolf," the man with glasses say as Ellie raises her eyebrows and smirks at him.
"Oh, you've heard me. Well, that is fanatic," Ellie says with a smirk as she begins walking toward him.
Chris rubs the bridge of his nose shaking his head at his oldest daughter's actions.
"Then you know how protective I am psychotic probably needs a good ass-kicking villain guy," Ellie says as the woman goes to attack her. Ellie raises her hand and the woman begins to choke as she falls to her knees holding her throat.
"You know with just a twist of my hand I can snap her neck off. Should I do it?" Ellie asks with a smirk as she looks toward the man in charge.
"Yes!" Isaac and Stiles yell making Ellie chuckle at them.
"Now you three have two options," Ellie says staring at the man who just raises an eyebrow at her.
"Option one you leave out that door quietly and not hurt anyone in the process," Ellie tells him holding a finger up.
"Or option two which I like a lot more. I throw you out and things get broken. Maybe a neck. Maybe a leg. Who knows? That is the beauty of it!" Ellie tells him with a smirk as the tall man comes running towards her.
Ellie uses her other hand and sends him flying out the window with a smile.
"Ellie!" Derek yells as Ellie scoffs looking at him.
"Would you rather he attacks me?!" Ellie asks looking towards Derek who sighs at that shaking his head.
"I did warn him. And you creepy guy?" Ellie asks with a raised eyebrow.
"I think my business here is done," he tells her making Ellie nod.
"Good," Ellie says as she lets the female breathe.
"Have a terrible day. Hope to never see you again!" Ellie tells him with a fake smile as she sarcastically waves at the two while they leave.
"Why do I have a feeling that won't happen?" Ellie asks sighing.
Once out the door, Ellie makes sure they are truly home and slides the door shut locking it before rushing towards Derek who groans in pain.
"This might hurt," Ellie tells him making Derek nod as he starts spitting up black blood. With that Ellie pulls the pole out making Derek scream Ellie turns to Cora and waves her over toward her.
"Help me get him to his room. I'll bandage him up," Ellie tells Cora who nods as the two pick him up and take him to his room. They sit him down slowly and then Ellie turns to Cora.
"Can you get the first aid kit? It should be under the bathroom sink," Ellie tells her making Cora nod as she rushes out and Ellie begins ripping Derek's shirts off.
The brunette suddenly stops as she begins to cough making Derek look at her worriedly as she wipes under her nose.
"Are you okay?" Derek asks breathlessly as Ellie looks at him.
Talia shakes her head at her son but a soft smile on her face.
"I'm supposed to ask you that. You just got a pole stuck through you," Ellie chuckles slightly as Derek smiles at her.
Cora walks back in with the first aid box and Ellie thanks her as she grabs it.
Opening it as Ellie pulls out the items she needs before she begins to wrap Derek's stomach neither saying a word as Cora looks between the two.
"Oh no," Derek mutters at his sister who smirks at him.
"So you used to date my brother?" Cora asks making Ellie freeze as she looks up at her seeing Derek glaring at his sister.
"And somehow you made this more awkward," Stiles tells Cora who rolls her eyes at that.
"Uhm I did," Ellie tells her as she gets back to work. Cora nods looking at the girl.
"What happened?" Cora asks making Ellie just look wide-eyed.
"Cora!" Derek yells at his sister who shrugs at him. She was curious and younger it was her job to do this.
"Cora," Derek warns as she waves him off looking towards Ellie.
"Uhm it just didn't work out. It was mutual," Ellie tells her as Cora nods.
Everyone looks at Ellie at that who was biting her lip not saying anything.
"There you are good to go just take it easy till you heal completely. And I mean completely Derek. No doing anything. You are already weak as it was from the full moon attack," Ellie tells him making Derek nod as Ellie sighs looking at him.
"Listen to her Derek," Talia tells him sternly.
"I'll make sure he does mom," Cora tells Talia who smiles at her softly.
"Kiss ass," Derek says scoffing under his breath making Cora glare at him.
"How did it go with that teacher?" Derek asks looking at her.
"Fine. I told her in a very nice and detailed way of what will happen if she says anything," Ellie tells Derek who just looks at her raising his eyebrows at her.
"I'm sure you were very nice," Chris says shaking his head as Ellie smiles at him.
"Issac can't stay here anymore Derek. And I would not recommend either of you two staying either," Ellie tells the two as Derek shakes his head.
"Wait why?!" Isaac yells looking between the two.
"Because if the alphas came back you could get hurt in the crossfires," Ellie tells Isaac leaving no room for discussion. She was not going to allow him to get hurt.
"I'm not running but I agree with you," Derek tells her as Ellie sighs rolling her eyes knowing he would say that.
"Fine and I'll message Scott to see if Isaac can stay with him. I'm sure Melissa won't mind," Ellie tells Derek who nods before pausing.
"Not at all," Melissa says smiling at Isaac who smiles back at her.
"Why did you come by? Is something wrong?" Derek asks her worriedly as Ellie freezes hesitating before shaking her head at him.
"Uhm no just wanted to make sure Cora was alright and healing good," Ellie tells him as Derek looks at her clearly not believing her.
"Ellie," Derek says in a warning tone as she sighs at that.
"I just better get going, but call me if you need anything. Both of you," Ellie tells the siblings with a slight smile as she leaves the room.
Derek watches her as she leaves until he can't see her anymore while Cora rolls her eyes at him.
"Mutual my ass," Cora mumbles as she leaves the room.
"Never heard more truer words," Lydia says shaking her head.
━━━━━ ✧༺✶༻✧ ━━━━━
Ellie walks into the apartment heading towards her room before pausing and seeing Allison's light on and door crack.
With a sigh, Ellie heads towards her sisters not even knocking Ellie enters and goes to lie down on her back on Allison's bed.
Allison looks at her with a raised eyebrow but does not say anything waiting for Ellie to speak.
"Derek and me," Ellie says pausing making Allison just stare at her.
Everyone looks more intrigued at where this was going.
"We were in love. Real love. Epic love. And truthfully I don't think I ever stopped being in love with him. I think being away from him made me love him more actually. If that is even possible," Ellie tells Allison who shuts her book and looks toward Ellie seeing the slight tears in her eyes.
Derek stares at Ellie who was just looking at her hands not saying anything.
"Then why aren't you back together? You love him and he clearly loves you. This is hurting Ellie I can tell," Allison says making Ellie take a deep breath as she looks at the ceiling.
"You know I thought over the summer being away from him would make my feelings disappear. But then I saw him and every moment of us together flashed through my mind. Every hug. Every kiss. Every blush. Every sweet nothing whispered in the darkness," Ellie tells Allison who lays down beside her the two just looking at the ceiling.
Allison didn't say anything letting Ellie speak when she has the words to speak.
"You know Derek's lost every woman he has ever loved. One way or another he lost them. His first. His mom. His oldest sister," Ellie whispers with tears in her eyes as she looks toward Allison.
"I'm going to die Allie. Before I'm 23 I'm going to die and I don't want to be another woman he loves and died on him," Ellie whispers to her as she takes a deep breath wiping her tears.
"So I told him I couldn't do anymore and in the process, I broke my heart and continue to break it. I will if it protects him from being hurt. And if that makes me a terrible person or heartless so be it, but I'm doing it for him," Ellie tells Allison softly who just pauses not saying anything.
Allison didn't know what to say what do say when your twin tells you that?
No one says anything before Derek gets up and begins walking towards Ellie who was twisting the rings on her fingers.
Pulling her hand Derek pulls Ellie up and tilts her head to like at him. Ellie looks at him with slight tears in her eyes making Derek cup her cheeks before leaning in and connecting his lips with hers.
Ellie gasps in surprise before wrapping her arms around Derek's shoulders and kissing him back.
"Yes! Finally!" Lydia yells as she high-fives Allison who was cheering.
"Finally," Isaac says rolling his eyes as Stiles and Liam nod their heads.
"Absolutely not!" Laura yells as Derek waves her off pulling Ellie closer to him.
"I'm about to shoot him," Chris mutters glaring at the boy kissing his daughter.
"Dad shush it's adorable. We have all been waiting for it," Allison tells him Derek and Ellie separate.
"Hi," Ellie whispers to Derek who smiles at her tucking a piece of hair behind her ear.
"Do not do it this time around," Derek tells Ellie who nods her head smiling at him.
"Okay," Ellie whispers to him softly.
