Ellie looks around confused not knowing where she was. She then walks looking around and seeing just trees before she trips.

Looking Ellie pauses seeing the Nemeton making her confused as she stands up looking at the tree stump.

"What in the world?" Ellie asks confused as Derek holds her tightly to him just as confused.

"I'm coming," a voice hisses making Ellie look around fear in her eyes before she spots Stiles across the tree stomp. 

Stiles and Ellie share a worried look at that wondering what was going on. 

"Stiles!" Ellie yells as she tries to get to him but it was like something was stopping her making Ellie look terrified.

"Help me," Stiles tells her as Ellie looks at him terrified.

"Stiles!" Ellie yells as the man wrapped in bandages grabs him pulling him into the tree stomp.

"STILES!" Ellie screams trying to run toward him to save him but someone or something was holding her back from him.

"Ellie! Ellie wake up!" Chris yells making Ellie set up wide-eyed as she looks around seeing her magic acting out of control.

"That wasn't a regular nightmare," Ellie whispers as Derek kisses the top of her head holding her close to him.

Ellie took deep breaths as she begin to calm down her magic calming down with her as Chris watches her worriedly.

"Maybe you stay home," Chris tells Ellie who shakes her head sighing.

"You definitely should," Chris says watching his daughter worriedly.

"Dad I'm fine. Melissa cleared me and so did Deaton. I'm good to go," Ellie tells Chris who sighs looking at her worriedly.

"What was it this time?" Chris asks Ellie as lays beside her in the bed as Ellie cuddles into him trying to find some comfort.

"Same thing. I was at the tree stump and someone's voice was speaking but this time I could hear what it said," Ellie tells him making Chris look down at her.

"What did it say?" Chris asks her making Ellie look at him scared making him worried. It wasn't usual for his daughter to be scared. If ever.

"It said it's coming," Ellie tells her dad in a whisper making him look worried wondering what was coming and why it has scared his daughter so much.

"That creepy-looking thing," Ellie says shuddering but what she didn't see was a woman with wide eyes in the back of the room with her family.

━━━━━ ✧༺✶༻✧ ━━━━━

"Derek this is my tenth message where are you? Cora called and said you and Peter left a while ago but neither of you have came home," Ellie says as she walks towards the school doors dressed in a red romper with a leather jacket and doc martens.

"Peter! What did you do?!" Talia yells at her brother who looks at her offended.

"Why is it my fault?! Have you met your son?" Peter asks making Talia pause before she looks at Derek who raises his hands in surrender.

"Whatever happened I'm sure the reason we got caught is because of Peter," Derek says making Peter glare at him as Derek ignores him.

"If I don't hear from you soon I'm declaring you a missing person because I'm worried that you might either be kidnapped or Peter convinced you to do something stupid and you both are dead," Ellie says with a sigh.

"Rude!" Peter yells as everyone shrugs at that knowing Ellie was right.

"I love you though and just come home. Alive please," Ellie tells him with a soft smile as she hangs up and walks into the school.

"Always," Derek whispers to her making Ellie cuddle into him.

"Good because if you don't I'll kill you myself," Ellie tells him making Derek smile at her.

As she walks in Ellie sees Isaac rubbing his back making the girl confused.

"Uhm what happened to you?" Ellie asks Issac who looks towards her.

"Scott threw me into a wall," Issac tells her making Ellie freeze for a moment before she busts out laughing making Issac glare at her.

"Boys!" Melissa yells glaring at the two who look at her wide-eyed smiling sheepishly at her.

"Like literally?! He threw you into a wall?" Ellie asks laughing as Issac rolls his eyes.

"Yeah thanks, Ells," Issac says walking away as Ellie laughs.

"Wait, Issac! I'm sorry, but it's so funny!" Ellie says laughing as she almost falls over. Issac shoots her a bird making Ellie laugh even harder.

"Are you okay at least?! If not I'll throw him into a wall! Repeatedly!" Ellie yells to Isaac who laughs at her making Ellie smile as she walks turns around to walk away.

"I will if you hurt him. Or Stiles. Or my twin. Or Lydia. Pretty much anyone I love," Ellie tells Scott with a glare who gulps at that nodding his head.

Ellie then sees Scott, Allison, Lydia, and Stiles talking about something important making Ellie head toward them.

"Hey guys," Ellie says smiling at them making the three look panicked as Lydia smiles at Ellie.

"What are you three hiding?" Ellie asks Scott Stiles and Allison who look wide-eyed not knowing what to say.

"Gorgeous as always Ellie," Lydia says making Ellie smile as she side-hugs her.

Laura glares at the strawberry blonde angrily while Lydia smirks.

"Thanks, Lyds," Ellie tells her before looking at the other three.

"Is everything alright?" Ellie asks worriedly to the three.

"They are-," Lydia begins but Stiles interrupts her.

"Stressed for an upcoming exam!" Stiles yells making Lydia confused as Allison and Scott nod.

"You are a terrible liar," Ellie tells Stiles nodding her head as Stiles sighs at that.

"Oh alright then," Ellie says trailing off clearly not believing them.

"Well, I got to get to class. I'll see you all later," Ellie tells them making them nod and smile at her as Ellie walks away. Lydia turns to the three confused and glaring.

"What was that? Why didn't you three tell Ellie about the dreams and hallucinations and not being able to wolf out? She's probably the only one who can help you," Lydia asks them confused as Stiles, Scott, and Allison sigh and share a look.

"What?! You tell me these things you idiots," Ellie yells as she head slaps all three of them making them wince as they nod.

"We almost lost her last time," Scott tells Lydia who sighs looking at them.

"And if we tell her she will blame herself because we sacrificed ourselves for her," Stiles tells Lydia.

"She looks so happy. We're not ruining that," Allison tells Lydia who shakes her head.

"Well for excuses goes that one is alright," Ellie mutters annoyed making them smile at her.

"I'm still mad though," Ellie tells them as they sigh at that.

"She's going to find out though and it won't be good," Lydia warns them as the three shares a look.

"At least she'll be alive," Stiles tells Lydia as he walks away. Allison and Scott nod agreeing with Stiles before walking away.

"I think you just jinked it," Ellie tells Stiles patting his shoulder who looks at her wide-eyed.

"This won't end well," Lydia mutters as she walks away.

"Not at all," Chris says annoyed with the teenagers and the werewolf with his arm wrapped around his daughter.

But he didn't mind the grandkids. They were adorable and reminded him of Ellie. He just didn't like they came from Derek Hale. A werewolf.

━━━━━ ✧༺✶༻✧ ━━━━━

In history class, Ellie sat next to Stiles and looks at the new history teacher. The school had to get a lot of new teachers since Jennifer killed three of them and then died herself.

"Thanks for that dad," Ellie says smiling at the man who sighs at her.

"Good morning, everyone. My name is Mr. Yukimura. I'll be taking over for your previous history teacher. My family and I moved here three weeks ago. I'm sure, by now, you all know my daughter, Kira? ...Or, you might not, since she's never actually mentioned anyone from school...Or brought a friend home, for that matter...," Mr. Yukimura says making Ellie and Stiles share a look. This was awkward.

"Ouch. Awkward," Stiles mutters making Ellie and Liam nod with him.

A strong blow came from the back of the class making everyone turn to see a dark-haired girl with her head on the desk.

"Either way, there she is!" Mr. Yukimura says as he points to the girl who slowly raises her head, giving a shy smile when she saw everyone looking at her.

Ellie smiles softly at the new girl before turning around and then seeing that Scott was still looking at Kira with a small smile.

"Aww! Someone is falling in love!" Ellie says clapping as Scott looks wide-eyed.

"What is with you and new girls?" Stiles asks Scott who shrugs at that not knowing the answer himself.

After a few seconds, he looks the other way and realizes that Ellie was looking at him with a raised eyebrow and smirk.

"Shut up," Scott tells her making Ellie chuckle as she shakes her head.

"When I'm dead," Ellie says scoffing making everyone send her looks at Derek and squeeze her hip in warning.

━━━━━ ✧༺✶༻✧ ━━━━━

"Do you really think this is going to help?" Allison asks Lydia as the strawberry blonde walks back to her after putting up a target on a tree.

"Not a good idea. If Allison is hallucinating then being alone with her in the woods and her bow and arrow will just mean you getting hurt," Ellie says worriedly while Allison and Lydia share a look.

"I know that if you think it's not going to help, it definitely won't! So, get your head into it, shoot a few, and see what happens or we can go and tell your twin who knows more about supernatural than all of us," Lydia tells her making Allison look at her.

"That's right! I do!" Ellie says smiling happily with herself.

Allison then picks up her bow and arrow and pulls the string back with a very shaky hand before letting go.

The arrow flies through the air and lands on the ground next to the tree making Allison sigh while Lydia purses her lips.

"That's never happened," Allison says wide-eyed looking at the arrow.

"Oh..," Lydia mumbles as Allison picks up another arrow and tries again but it hits the ground again.

"Maybe hold the string differently? Try the Mongolian draw," Lydia making Allison look at her with a raised eyebrow.

The three Argents look towards Lydia who shrugs at that looking at the screen.

"What? I read. Try it!" Lydia exclaims making Allison sigh before picking up another arrow and holding the bow horizontally. She releases the arrow and yet again, it clatters to the ground.

"Okay, um... Take a second to close your eyes and imagine the arrow going into the target...," Lydia says making Allison close her and take a deep breath before opening them. As soon as she opens them her eyes widened.

"Did you see that?" Allison asks making Lydia look confused.

"See what?" Lydia asks her as Allison bends down and picks up her before throwing it over her shoulder. 

"And you are hallucinating again," Ellie says sending Allison a pointed.

"Wait here," Alison tells her making Lydia look at her as if she was crazy.

"Are you serious?" Lydia asks wide-eyed making Allison look at her.

"I'll be right back!" Allison tells her before leaving.

"You did not just say that!" Lydia yells after her worriedly.

"You didn't?!" Ellie and Lydia yell at Allison who winces at that.

Lydia waits for Allison to come back for a few minutes. When suddenly an arrow comes out of nowhere heading straight toward Lydia before it was stopped just an inch from her forehead.

Allison's eyes widened when she realized that she almost shot her best friend.

"Lydia! I'm so sorry! Allison says wide-eyed Lydia nod still in slight shock as she squeezes Allison's hand reassuringly.

"My gosh. My gosh, Lydia," Allison says as Lydia takes shaky breaths.

"Have anything you need to tell me?" Ellie asks the girls with the arrow now in her hand as Isaac stands beside her wide-eyed.

"Well you're in trouble," Isaac tells Allison chuckling who glares at him.

"Uhm well," Allison says chuckling nervously as Ellie wraps an arm around Lydia calming her down slightly as Lydia hugs her tightly back. 

Derek eyes the two girls as Ellie chuckles at him.

━━━━━ ✧༺✶༻✧ ━━━━━

Outside everyone sits on the benches for lunch. Ellie walks towards Scott and Stiles and slaps them over the head hard making them wince.

"Ouch! Ellie what the hell?!" Stiles yells as she glares at the two angrily.

"You should she expected that," Liam tells the two boys making Stiles give him a pointed look.

"You're both hallucinating and didn't tell me!" Ellie whispers/ yells at them as the two looks wide-eyed.

"Alright who told?!" Stiles yells making Lydia and Allison look anywhere but at them.

"Well I was with Isaac making sure he was alright after getting thrown into a wall," Ellie says angrily as she slaps Scott over the head again making him wince.

Isaac smiles at that making Scott sigh.

"And I suddenly felt the need that Lydia needed me and arrived to find Allison about to shoot her with an arrow," Ellie says glaring at the three angrily.

"We just wanted to protect you," Scott tells her making Ellie glare at him as Scott winces in pain grabbing his head.

"You three are such stupid idiots," Ellie tells them angrily as Stiles smiles.

"But we're your idiots," Stiles tells her making Ellie roll her eyes.

"Not right now you aren't. My idiots actually have brains!" Ellie yells at the three who pout at her while Isaac and Liam smirk.

"You know I could hot wire Roscoe and take her," Ellie tells Stiles who glares at her.

"If you do that I'll never get you cake again," Stiles tells her pointing at the older Argent twin as she glares at him.

"You wouldn't dare!" Ellie and Stiles yell at each other angrily both glaring at each other.

"Can we get back on the subject?" Scott asks making the two sigh as they nod.

"Okay, so-- what happens to a person who has a near-death experience and comes out of it seeing things?" Scott asks Ellie as she looks at him.

"And is unable to tell what's real or not?" Stiles asks making Ellie look at him worriedly.

"And is being haunted by demonic visions of dead relatives?" Allison asks making Ellie squeeze her hand.

"Uhm well that's not good," Liam mutters wide-eyed as everyone nods agreeing with him. 

"They're all locked up because they're insane," Isaac tells them making Ellie poke him in the ribs with a pointed look.

"Why does he just get a poke and I get a head slap?!" Stiles yells at Ellie who sighs at that.

"Liam gets the best out of the three of you. He just gets a pat on the check," Eli says laughing as Isaac and Stiles look at Ellie offended while Liam smirks.

"Ha. Can you at least try to be helpful, please?" Stiles asks him irritable as he squints his eyes.

"For half my childhood, I was locked in a freezer... So, being helpful is kind of a new thing for me," Issac tells Stiles making him scoff as Ellie rubs Isaac's arm in support.

"Hey, dude, are you still milking that?" Stiles asks him making Issac nod annoyed.

"Yeah, maybe I am still milking that!" Issac tells him annoyed.

"Boys calm down," Ellie tells them with a pointed look making both of them huff glaring at each other.

"Both of you are being childish," Ellie tells Stiles and Isaac with a pointed look.

"Isaac apologize to Stiles for making fun of his hallucinations and telling him he needs to be locked up. Stiles apologize to Isaac for making fun of his trauma," Ellie tells the two boys who glare at each other.

"I'm sorry," Isaac and Stiles mutter annoyed as Ellie smiles at them happily.

"Boys," Ellie calls making them ignore her annoyed as Ellie gives them a pointed look.

"Sorry," they tell each other as Derek tries not to laugh smiling at Ellie.

"Hi...," a voice says making the group turn to see Kira standing at the end of the table making them confused.

"Hi, sorry... I couldn't help overhearing what you guys were talking about... And, I think I actually might know what you're talking about...There's a Tibetan word for it-- it's called "Bardo." It literally means "in-between state." The state between life and death," Kira explains to the group nervously.

"She's adorable," Ellie tells Derek who looks down at her.

"Perfection," Derek says making Ellie look up at him only to see him staring at her.

"And what do they call you?" Lydia asks condescendingly with her eyebrows raised as Ellie shakes her head.

"Kira," Scott answers making everyone look at him with raised eyebrows as Ellie smiles at him.

"She is in our history class," Scott informs them as Kira looks down with a small smile.

"So, are you talking Bardo in Tibetan Buddhism or Indian?" Ellie asks the girl seeing she was uncomfortable as she gestures for her to sit down beside Stiles.

"How many strays are you going to adopt?" Derek asks Ellie looks towards him.

"Well I could get rid of you instead," Ellie tells Derek who looks at her wide-eyed.

"Adopt as many as you want baby," Derek tells Ellie who smiles at him patting his cheek.

"I was going to anyways," Ellie tells him smiling.

"Either, I guess... But, all the stuff you guys were just saying? All that happens in Bardo. There are different progressive states where you can have hallucinations. Some you see, some you just hear. And you can be visited by peaceful or wrathful deities," Kira says as she shrugs.

"Wrathful deities? And what are those?" Isaac asks making Ellie's entire body tense up as she looks toward Stiles.

"Demons," Ellie says making everyone look towards her but her eyes were glued to Stiles.

"Demons. Why not?" Stiles asks as Ellie just look at him making him confused.

"Hold on-- if there are different progressive states, then what's the last one?" Allison asks looking between Kira and Ellie.

"Death. You die," Kira tells them as she makes everyone take a deep breath as they look at each other.

Ellie was the most frozen as she realizes this was her fault. They were trying to save her meaning everything that was happening was due to her.

"We made the choice Ellie. We knew the consequences and we would do it again," Allison tells her twin making Stiles and Scott nod at that as Ellie smiles at them slightly.

"Uhm I got to go," Ellie says as she gets up making the group look at her worriedly.

"This is why we didn't want her to know," Stiles says as he sighs watching Ellie basically run away once she was far enough away she pulled out her phone.

"Hey, it's Ellie. Ellie Argent. And I need a favor," Ellie says as she begins to drive away from the school.

"And what does the great Eleanor Argent need from me?" Deucalion asks making Ellie sigh.

"Why?" Derek asks Ellie who looks at him.
"Probably something to do with you," Ellie tells Derek who pauses but nods at that.

"I need to find Derek and maybe Peter. It doesn't really matter," Ellie tells him as Deucalion nods.

"Thanks, Ellie!" Peter says making her smile at him.  

"Anytime," Ellie tells him cuddling into Derek's chest.

"I know someone who will but it will cost you," Deucalion tells Ellie who nods.

"I'll pay but nothing over 8," Ellie tells him making Deucalion nod.

Everyone looks toward Ellie who waves at them.

"What?" Ellie asks as they shake their heads at her not saying anything.

"I'll let you know," Deucalion tells her making Ellie sigh in relief.

"I knew there was a reason I give you back your sight," Ellie tells him making Deucalion roll his eyes as the girl laughs hanging up.

Ellie then looks up at the road but a confused expression crosses her face when she doesn't recognize where she is.

"What?" Ellie questions as she gets out of her car which was now parked in the middle of nowhere in the woods.

"And now I'm losing my mind," Ellie mutters wide-eyed.

The girl begins to walk but she pauses seeing the Nemeton.

"What?" Ellie questions as she walks closer to it wondering why it was calling her.

"What do you want from me?" Ellie questions as she walks towards it slowly.

Ellie reached the tree stumped and places her hand on it before she begins screaming as loud as she could and falls to the ground unconscious blood dripping down her nose and out her eyes.

"Ellie!" Was screamed around the room as Derek holds her close to him kissing her head repeatedly.

━━━━━ ✧༺✶༻✧ ━━━━━

As Scott and Stiles leave the Tate house for Sheriff Stilinski asks them regarding the death of a family from eight years ago.

"What?!" Malia yells/growls looking at the two boys who look towards her confused.

Scott suddenly falls to his knees clutching his head as Stiles and Sheriff Stilinski look at him worriedly.

Scott then looks up his alpha eyes glowing bright red.

"Ellie," Scott mutters before he begins to run off toward the woods.

"Scott!" Stiles yells worriedly before running after his best friend worriedly.

"Boys! Boys!" Sheriff Stilinski yell worriedly as the boys continue running. Scott continues to run with Stiles running behind him but Scott comes to stop making Stiles run into him.

"Scott?! Dude what the hell is going on?!" Stiles yells but Scott just looks wide-eyed making Stiles scoff before looking towards what Scott was looking at.

"Ellie? Ellie!" Stiles yells in shock before running towards the girl who was passed out on the tree stump.

Scott runs after him as they look at the girl who had blood coming out of her ears and down her nose.

"We need to get her to the hospital or Deaton now," Scott stresses as Stiles nods picking the girl up as they begin heading towards the animal clinic as fast as they could.

━━━━━ ✧༺✶༻✧ ━━━━━

"Deaton!" Scott yells panicked making Deaton come and look worried seeing Ellie passed out in Stiles's arms blood now down her neck.

"Ugh I'll never be able to get blood out of my romper," Ellie mutters annoyed making Stiles look at her wide/eyed.

"That's what you're worried about?!" Stiles yells at her making Ellie shrug.

"It's a cute romper!" Ellie justifies making Stiles throw his arms into the air.

"Lay her down on the table," Deaton tells them as wipes everything off and begins grabbing different things.

Scott grabs her hand and doesn't feel any pain and her heartbeat was strong making him confused.

"See I'm alive!" Ellie yells at Stiles who rolls his eyes at her.

"What happened?" Deaton asks the two as Stiles paces biting his nails.

"We found her on the Nemeton," Scott tells Deaton who pauses looking at the two.

"I heard a scream. It was Ellie's and it was like my instincts kicked in and I had to find her," Scott explains as Deaton nods.

"You're her protector Scott. Ellie protects everyone but you protect her," Deaton explains making Scott nod. Deaton begins cleaning the blood up as Stiles looks at him.

"What's going on with her?" Stiles asks worriedly as Deaton looks at Ellie.

"It's the Nemeton. For some reason it wants her to know something," Deaton tells them making the two confused.

"And it's willing to do anything to let me know," Ellie mutters confused as thinks about what it wanted her to know.

Before suddenly Ellie gasps looking wide-eyed as she takes deep breaths.

"He's coming," Ellie says wide-eyed and panicked.

"Uhm I don't like that," Isaac mutters wide-eyed as many nod agreeing with him.
