Ellie groans a little as she wakes up no longer feeling Derek's warm body pressed against her making her look around to see Stiles sitting in a chair beside her bed.
"Hey Biles," Ellie jokes smiling softly making Stiles look up at her but he didn't smile making Ellie sigh.
"You should have told us. You should have told me. Especially if using your abilities was making it worse," Stiles tells sternly making Ellie nod.
"You should have," Stiles tells her sternly making Ellie nod at him.
"You all already have so many things going on. The sacrifices. The alphas. I didn't want to add anything else to our list of problems," Ellie tells Stiles who shakes his head immediately at that.
"You are not a problem," Stiles tells Ellie who smiles at him.
"Ellie you are more important than the alphas, scarifies, or anything else," Stiles tells her making Ellie smile at him sadly.
"I can't lose you," Stiles says as his voice breaks slightly.
"Oh Stiles," Ellie says softly opening her arms for Stiles to go into and hold her tightly.
"I can't either," Isaac says shaking his head as he heads towards Ellie and hugs her as well making her chuckles as she runs her fingers through their hair.
"My little boys," Ellie says kissing their foreheads and making them smile as Eli scoffs at them.
"Hello! You gave birth to me!" Eli screams heading towards the three and getting right into his mom's lap cuddling into her as Ellie laughs at him.
"Oh, Stiles. Come here," Ellie tells him as she moves over slightly. Stiles hesitates but Ellie pulls him into her bed and hugs him slightly making Stiles's tense body relax.
"You know Stiles. I never believed in soulmates before but I think if they exist you are mine," Ellie tells Stiles who looks down at her with tears in his eyes.
"And your mine," Stiles tells her as his voice breaks.
Stiles and Ellie smile at each other softly at that.
"Platonically though," Ellie tells him making Stiles nod.
"Of course!" Stiles exclaims as the two nods.
"I got you some cake," Stiles tells Ellie who chuckles through her tears.
"I love you," Ellie tells Stiles who smiles brightly at that before sticking his tongue out at Eli and Isaac.
"She gave birth to me there is nothing you can do to beat that," Eli tells Stiles shrugging who glares at that.
"We have to share it then," Ellie tells him as Stiles smiles.
"I've been researching Guardians. Well, I have been since you told me at the police station you were fated to die," Stiles explains making Ellie smile at him.
"Of course, you have," Ellie whispers shaking her head at him.
"And I think I have a theory about what's happening," Stiles tells Ellie who hums telling him to continue.
"I think you are somehow tied to the sacrifices. Every time you get weaker and worse is after the sacrifices," Stiles explains as Ellie nods.
"Maybe. But we'll figure it out, Stiles. I can't die now. I have a cake waiting for me," Ellie jokes making the two laugh as Stiles shakes his head smiling at the girl happy to see her laughing once again.
━━━━━ ✧༺✶༻✧ ━━━━━
Ellie was now laying in her bed alone finally after a long day of no one leaving her alone as she watched Friends on bed rest when she suddenly froze.
"I love you all but I need some alone time," Ellie says shaking her head at the group who was just worried about leaving her alone.
"Lydia," Ellie whispers out in a daze-like trance. With no idea what she was even doing Ellie slowly gets out of her bed before removing her IV and leaving her apartment.
"Eleanor," Chris says making her with as much movement as she could with three teenage boys holding her tightly throwing her arms up.
"It's not like I can control it. I am in a trance!" Ellie tells her dad who looks at her before pointing a finger at Lydia.
"Lydia," Chris tells her in his dad's tone making Lydia look wide-eyed.
"Well uhm-I uhm...," Lydia says making Ellie and Allison laugh at her.
Not even knowing where she was going or even wearing shoes. No phone. No nothing but herself.
"That isn't good," Ellie mutters as the three teenagers hug her tightly.
"Ellie!" A voice yells making Ellie snap out of her trance and look around confused Lydia runs towards her worriedly.
"How did I get here?" Ellie asks making Lydia look her over before placing her jacket around Ellie's shoulders who was shivering.
"I don't know. You are at the school," Lydia informs her as Ellie just looks confused at that.
"What's the last thing you remember?" Lydia asks her worriedly.
"I was in bed watching Friends and then suddenly I'm here," Ellie tells her as Lydia nods.
"What are you doing?" Ellie asks Lydia who looks at her.
"Aiden sent me a text message telling me to meet him and said it was life or death," Lydia says before sighing.
"At least he's cute," Allison tells Lydia who laughs at her.
"You know I like Aiden. He seems like a good guy but doesn't think he has a choice. Stockholm syndrome does exist Lyds," Ellie tells Lydia who sighs as the two walks down the hallways.
"True," Ellie tells Lydia who nods at that.
"Uncle Aiden always gives some of the best gifts when he visits. And still so hot," Emilia whispers making Laurie nod with her as Ellie and Derek look confused.
"No," Derek tells his daughters sternly who pouts at that.
"Dad!" Laurie and Emilia tell him as he shakes his head.
"No. Nuns. Both of you," Derek says leaving no room for discussion making Ellie laugh at him.
The two girls then enter an empty classroom before the two both pause. They listen to the music from the recital room before a low singing begins. The same chilling chorus of the music teacher's recording.
"Oh no," Ellie and Lydia mutter wide-eyed.
Ellie walks away from Lydia, looking around cautiously.
"You hear it too, don't you?" Lydia asks with a slight whisper as she looked around.
"I hear it," Ellie tells her as she begins to feel dizzy.
"You recognize it, don't you?" Someone asks behind them making the two turn to see Jennifer with a dark smile on her face.
"I knew it! She's crazy!" Ellie screams looking at the screen and surprising Eli Stiles and Isaac who fall on the ground.
"Ha! I was right! I just have killed her that night at the school!" Ellie yells angrily as Isaac Stiles and Eli just look at her.
"Ow!" The three scream making her smile innocently and apologetically at them.
"Sorry," Ellie tells them with open arms as the three push each other trying to get to Ellie First who chuckles before arms wrapped around her pulling her towards them.
Ellie smiles as she looks at Derek whose arms were wrapped around her tightly while Eli Isaac and Stiles just look at him not knowing what to say.
"That's not fair!" The three yell at Derek who shrugs at them.
"She's my future wife," Derek tells them as Ellie chuckles at them.
"She's my mother figure!" Isaac yells.
"She's my best friend!" Stiles yells.
"She's my mother!" Eli yells.
All three yell at the same time as they pull Ellie from Derek who glares at them.
"She's ours," Allison and Lydia say pulling Ellie away from them and towards the two girls making the four glare at the two.
The second Ellie turns to see Jennifer hit her in the head making Ellie falls down unconscious.
"Im killing her," Chris says simply glaring at the screen angrily.
Lydia gasps as her hand flies to her mouth looking in horror as Ellie falls to the ground unconscious.
As Lydia opens her mouth to scream, Jennifer swings the club again hitting Lydia in the back of her head.
"Bitch," Ellie Allison, and Lydia say angrily glaring at the scene.
━━━━━ ✧༺✶༻✧ ━━━━━
Ellie groans weakly feeling weaker by the second as she opens her eyes and tries to move her hands but couldn't.
Looking down Ellie sees her wrists duct taped around a chair making her look around and spot Lydia hunched over in a chair beside her.
"Well, Lyds we have been kidnapped," Ellie tells Lydia who glares at her before sighing as she holds Ellie tightly to her.
"Lydia!" Ellie screams as she tries to get out of her tape but was too weak. Suddenly there was a dark laugh behind her.
"I must be really weak I've been taught how to get out of ropes and tape since I was thirteen," Ellie says making many looks at her while Chris nods at that. He made sure his daughter was prepared.
"You woke up faster than I thought. For someone practically dead," Jennifer says as she walks closer to Ellie before bending down slightly.
"I don't give you till the lunar eclipse. Probably die right before," Jennifer tells her with a smirk as Ellie glares at her.
"I am about to rip her tongue out," Ellie says glaring angrily.
"And I give you one minute alone with me and knife," Ellie tells her as Jennifer chuckles, but before she could say anything Lydia begins to wake up slowly and her hand approaches the back of her head, where the blood was rolling down.
"What are you doing?" Lydia asks weakly, making Jennifer turn to her.
"What's necessary? I'm still surprised none of you seem to get that. You call them "sacrifices," but you're not understanding the word. It's derived from the Latin sacrificium, "an offering to a deity; a sacred rite," Jennifer says making Ellie glare at her.
"A necessary evil," Ellie whispers as Jennifer turns to her with a smile.
"Like me shoving my-," Ellie begins when Allison wraps a hand around her mouth to stop her before pulling back disgusted.
"Eww! Ellie did you just lick me?!" Allison screams making Ellie shrug at her.
"I always knew you were the smart one, Ellie. The only reason any of them have survived was because of you. But you won't live yourself because of them. Funny isn't it?" Jennifer asks chuckling as Ellie glares at her.
"Bitch," Ellie mutters angrily.
"Rot in hell. You what better yet why don't I send you there?" Ellie asks her with a smirk as Jennifer glares at her.
"Please," Allison says rolling her eyes at the teacher.
"Stop...," Lydia whispers out as Jennifer begins to walk behind the two girls.
"Oh, I wish I could, girls... But you don't know the Alphas like me," Jennifer tells them as Ellie scoffs.
"Please stop," Lydia whispers with tears in her eyes as Jennifer holds up her garrote while Ellie tries to get out of her tape.
Ellie and Lydia tense up as they hold each other tightly watching the screen.
"But the two of you? You're not a sacrifice well Lydia's not. Ellie's been helping me without even knowing it," Jennifer says as Ellie freezes looking at her.
"I knew it," Ellie whispers in horror.
"You're just two girls who know too much," Jennifer says before correcting herself.
"Actually two girls who knew too much," Jennifer says as she begins to wrap the garrote around Lydia's neck.
"Lydia scream!" Ellie yells at her making Jennifer look wide-eyed.
"Lydia, no...," Jennifer begins to say.
"Scream!" Ellie yells at Lydia who uses all her strength and screams.
The scream was affecting every supernatural being in Beacon Hill, but Ellie and slightly Jennifer.
"Banshee," Ellie says smiling at Lydia who looks confused.
"What?" Lydia whispers as many look at the girl in surprise.
"A banshee. Banshees are not supernatural they have a connection to the supernatural but are not controlled by it. A banshee experiences premonitions of one's impending death.
Their predictions appear to them as causal factors of near- or affirmative death experience. A banshee's predictions are not set in stone and do not always come true.
A banshee will scream involuntarily when they are experiencing a premonition of death, or they can eventually learn how to scream at will," Ellie explains to Lydia who looks at her wide-eyed.
Lydia's head falls allowing the cable to tighten around her throat while Jennifer recedes slightly.
Through tears, Lydia looks at Jennifer who looks at her with proud astonishment.
"Unbelievable! You have no idea what you are, do you?
The Wailing Woman. A Banshee, right before my eyes," Jennifer says as Ellie glares at her.
"You're just like me, Lydia--"Look like the innocent flower, but be the serpent under," Jennifer says making Ellie shake her head.
"She's nothing like you and never will be," Ellie tells Jennifer who looks toward her before looking toward Lydia.
"It's too bad, though...And too late," Jennifer says as she ties Lydia's hands with tape on the back of the chair while Ellie continues fighting and screaming.
Jennifer turns the garrote, squeezes the cable, and begins to strangle Lydia.
"No! Stop!" Ellie screams as she begins to fight harder.
"No!" Ellie yells at the top of her lungs using the last of her strength and magic on Jennifer to throw her away from Lydia.
"Drop it!" Sheriff Stilinski yells as he points a gun at Jennifer making Ellie look at him worriedly.
"Dad," Stiles whispers worriedly.
Jennifer throws the knife and it lands in Sheriff Stilinski's arm, which makes him shoot.
"I'm fine Stiles," Stilinski tells his son seeing the worried look on his face.
The gun falls, snapping in front of Scott's feet, who looks with his werewolf face present. Stilinski's eyes widen as he sees Scott jump toward Jennifer.
"Well I guess he knows now," Ellie says wincing.
Jennifer moves fast and with sudden force. Dodging Scott's claws and grabbing him, she makes Scott bend down to his feet and sends the desks to the back of the room.
Stiles rushes to the door, but with the slightest push from Jennifer's hand, the teacher's desk slides down the floor and crashes into the door, stopping Stiles from entering. Jennifer slowly approaches Sheriff Stilinski as he takes the gun pointing it at her.
"There was a girl...Years ago, we found her in the woods, her face and body slashed apart. That was you, wasn't it?" Stilinski asks her as Ellie looks up as if she figured it all out.
"You should have just left her," Ellie says annoyed.
"Maybe I should've started with philosophers-- with knowledge and strategy," Jennifer says walking towards him and making Stilinski pull the trigger, shooting her leg.
Slowly, both the wound and the blood disappear almost instantly, causing his eyes to widen.
"Well great. But if I cut her head off she won't come back," Ellie mutters annoyed making Allison chuckle at her.
"Healers...," Jennifer says as she walks forward lifting the guns from his hands and throwing it into the wall.
"Warriors...," Jennifer says as she tears off his sheriff's badge from his shirt and she crushes it in her hand.
"Guardians...," Jennifer says as she slowly leans forward.
"Virgins," Jennifer says as she goes to take him but a yell stops her.
"Take me!" Ellie yells making everyone look toward her.
"Eleanor! May! Argent!" Chris yells at his daughter enraged who tries to hide from him scared as everyone glares at her.
"It's why everything is happening. If you want the ultimate sacrifice then kill me. I'm dying as it is. Due to you," Ellie says as Jennifer chuckles walking towards her.
"What?" Allison asks confused making Ellie sigh as she looks at her.
"I'm an ultimate sacrifice. Killing me equals the same amount as all the others," Ellie tells Allison who looks at her in horror. Not because of her power but fear someone would use her for power.
"You finally figured it out," Jennifer says as Ellie looks up at her.
"Yeah, I did. And I know that sacrificing me would be the same as sacrificing everyone you have. You will have the ultimate power to finally kill him," Ellie says as Jennifer walks towards her.
"You would give up? The great Eleanor Argent would just give up?" Jennifer asks not believing her.
"I'm not giving up Jennifer. Giving up is for the weak. I'm not weak I'm just accepting the fate I was given," Ellie tells Jennifer who bends down looking at Ellie.
"So kind. So knowledgeable," Jennifer says as she leans forward, and suddenly both she and Ellie disappear.
"Well...it was nice knowing you all," Ellie says rolling her eyes.
The desks move away from the back of the room, revealing a bloody Scott standing.
"Ellie?" Stiles shouts as he looks around before looking at one of the windows, both Ellie and Jennifer disappear from.
"Ouch. That probably hurt," Ellie says making everyone send her a look angry at the girl.
