After the three left Lydia's the three headed towards the Stilinski house to convince the sheriff of what the three figured out.

That is how they ended up where they were now. Entering the station making the woman at the reception desk raised her eyebrows at them.

"It's two in the morning," the deputy says as Stilinski sighs.

"Believe me, I wouldn't be here if it wasn't extremely important," Stilinski tells her as Ellie smiles at her and waves sheepishly.

"First we look at the things in the hospital, okay?" Stiles whispers making Scott look at him as Ellie nods.

"Why?" Scott asks as Ellie sighs shaking her head.

"Because all the murders were committed by Jackson, except for one. The pregnant woman, Jessica," Ellie tells Scott as Stiles nods pointing to her.

"This is why Ellie is my favorite," Stiles says as Ellie smirks.

"As I should be," Ellie says smirking.

"Yes, since Matt had to kill her himself, someone from the hospital could have seen him," Stiles says before looking at the female deputy at the reception and his father. The deputy sighs before nodding slightly.

"Thank you," Stilinski tells her before looking at the three.

"Children," Stilinski says getting the three's attention as they follow him to his office. A little later, the four stared at the images from the hospital camera.

"I don't know, guys. I mean, look at this-- there was a six-car pile-up that night. The hospital was jammed," Stilinski says as Ellie and Stiles sigh.

"All right, just keep going. Look, he had to have passed one of the cameras on that floor to get to Jessica, okay? He's gotta be on the footage somewhere," Stiles tells his dad who sighs but continues. Then someone passes by the camera.

"Oh, hold on! Stop! Did you see that? Scroll back," Scott says making Stilinski rewind the video.

That's him! That's Matt!" Stiles and Ellie exclaim as they point to the screen making Stilinski look confused.

Everyone looks at the two confused but they nod agreeing with their future selves.

"All I can see is the back of someone's head," Stilinski says making Ellie and Stiles nod.

"Matt's head, yeah! We sit behind him in history. He's got a very distinct cranium! It's weird," Stiles says as he looks to Ellie who nods.

"It is weird," Ellie tells the sheriff making him look at the two strangely.

Stilinski shakes his head at the two sighings.

"Are you both crazy?" Stilinski asks making Stiles sigh as Ellie huffs. 

"Possible," Ellie tells the man with a shrug.

"All right, fine. Then look at his jacket, huh? How many people do you know who wear black leather jackets?" Stiles asks making Stilinski look at him asks Ellie rolls her eyes.

"Uhm," Ellie says pointing towards Derek who has a leather jacket on making Stiles roll his eyes.

"Millions! Literally!" Stilinski exclaims as Ellie sighs sadly.

"Let's just continue. There has to be a photo of him arriving at one of the cameras at some point," Ellie offers as Stilinski nods.

"Oh, or you can arrest him for stalking me!" Ellie exclaims making the three look at her concern.

Ellie snaps her fingers nodding her head agreeing.

"What are you talking about?" Stiles asks her worriedly as Ellie sighs.

"When I dropped Matt off after the rave with Allison he left his camera so, of course, I decided to go through it," Ellie says with a shrug as if it was common sense. Stiles nods in understanding. 

"Why wouldn't you?" Stiles asks making l many looks at him strangely.

"And I found pictures of me. Personal photos of me in my room. Sometimes half-dressed and those are the only ones I saw," Ellie says shuddering as the three looks at her concern.

"Oh! He probably saw me naked!" Ellie says gagging as Chris glares angrily.

"If you want we can press charges," Stilinski tells her as Ellie nods.

"After we find him on for screen," Ellie says making Stilinski nod as Ellie's phone goes off.

"Oh, it's my dad. I'll be right back," Ellie tells them as the three nod and Ellie heads towards the hallways.

"She's gone isn't she," Ellie states once she answers the phone making Chris sigh.

"Yeah, she's gone. You need to get home soon," Chris says as Ellie sighs walking to the reception only to freeze seeing the female deputy laying on the floor in a puddle of blood.

Everyone sits up at that worriedly.

"Station. Hurry," Ellie rushes out as the sound of a gun clicks before it is pressed right against the side of her head making her freeze.

Chris looks at his daughter in horror seeing a gun pressed to her head.

"Ellie! Ellie! Answer me!" Chris screams hearing the gun. Ellie turns her head to see Matt standing beside her with a smirk.

"Fucker!" Ellie yells glaring at the screen angrily.

"Phone," Matt demands as Ellie hands him the phone. Matt then throws it down and steps on it before pushing Ellie towards the sheriff's office stay holding the gun to her head and his arm around her throat.

"My phone!" Ellie yells upset as Allison hits her over the head making Ellie glare at her.

"There is a gun pressed against your head!" Allison says making Ellie sigh but still pouts.

Scott puts in his phone and goes towards Stilinski and Stiles after calling his mom since they saw on the cameras that she spoke with Matt.

Scott was tense at that worried about his mom.

"She's on her way here. Guys?" Scott asks as he notices that Stilinski nod Stiles we're paying attention to what he said.

Scott follows their gaze to the open door where Matt had his arm wrapped around Ellie's neck pressing the gun against his head making him suck a deep breath.

Chris glares at the screen full of hatred. He was going to call him when they left this theater room.

"Matt? It's Matt, isn't it? Matt, whatever's going on, I guarantee you there's a solution that doesn't involve a gun," Stilinski says as he raises his hands slightly making Matt laugh.

"You know, it's funny you say that because I don't think you're aware of just how right you are..." Matt says as he presses the gun harder to the side of Ellie's head, making her clench her jaw to stop her from saying something.

Allison was holding Ellie tightly but she wasn't the only one. Derek had his hand in hers trying to remind himself that she was here and safe.

"I know you don't want to hurt people," Stilinski tells him as Matt smiles at him with a crazy look in his eyes.

"Actually, I wanna hurt a lot of people. You four weren't on my list, but I could be persuaded... And, one way is to try dialing somebody on your cell phone, like McCall is doing," Matt says looking towards Scott who was trying to call someone.

"That? That could definitely get someone hurt," Matt tells him as he presses the gun more into Ellie's head, making her close her eyes for a moment from the pain.

"Everyone! Phones! Now!" Matt yells as he gestures towards her desks making the three place their phones on the desk.

"I want white roses on my casket," Ellie tells her dad who glares at him making Ellie smile at him sheepishly.

━━━━━ ✧༺✶༻✧ ━━━━━

A handcuff locks around Stilinski's wrist, one of the cuffs attached to the wall outside the holding cells.

"Tighter," Matt demands making Stiles glare at Matt who kept the gun pressed against Ellie's head while Scott watches.

"Do what he says," Stilinski tells Stiles reassuringly. Stiles reluctantly tightens the handcuff making Stilinski wince.

Matt motions for them to move toward the corridor. But as Stiles steps back, he can't seem to turn his eyes away from his father's fearful ones until Matt shoves him forward.

Scott and Stiles walk back to the front of the station, Matt still holding onto Ellie's shoulder behind them.

The sound of harsh breathing makes them pause and they glanced down the adjacent hall in time to see a paralyzed deputy dragged back into a room by a human but a clawed hand making them realize it was Jackson. Matt jams the gun into Scott's back, pushing him onward.

"You going to kill everyone in here?" Scott asks Matt who shakes his head.

"No. That's what Jackson's for. All I have to do is think about killing them. He does the rest," Matt tells them.

Soon a paper shredder roars under a heavy workload. With the gun still against Ellie's head who just wanted to kill Matt but was scared if she did something, Matt would hurt someone or shoot her before she could.

"Be smart not fast Ellie," Chris tells Ellie who nods her head at him.

Matt watches Scott and Stiles destroy all the evidence in Stilinski's office. Stiles erase the tape on the computer and looks up when it emits a confirmation beep.

"Deleted. And we're done. All right? So, Matt, since all the people you brutally murdered deserved it because they killed you first-whatever that means-I think we're good here, right? So, I'll just get my dad, you let Ellie come to me, and we'll go, you know? You continue on the whole vengeance thing. Enjoy the Kanima," Stiles says irritably as he looks at Ellie worried who smiles at him reassuringly.

Matt was about to say something, but the roar of a car's engine interrupts them. An engine familiar to Ellie who sighs slightly in relief but was worried for the person who just arrived.

Ellie looks to her left to see Derek who looks towards her squeezing her hand as Ellie lays her head on Derek's shoulder still holding onto Allison tightly.

Matt stops, listening to the sound of a car stopping on the sidewalk outside.

"It looks like your mother is here, McCall," Matt says making Scott's and Ellie's eyes widen.

"Matt, don't do this. When she comes to the door, I'll just tell her to leave. I'll tell her we didn't find anything. Please, Matt-," Scott begs, but Matt shakes his head, gesturing him and Stiles towards Stilinski's open door. Scott hesitates at the sound of the main entrance that opens.

Scott tenses as he watches the screen holding onto his mom tightly who rubs his hand reassuringly.

"If you don't move right now, I'm going to kill Ellie. Then Stiles and then your mother," Matt threatens making Scott and Stiles look at Ellie before walking towards the door.

Leaving Stilinski's office, Scott and Stiles approach the door that leads to the reception lobby with Matt and Ellie behind them.

"Open it," Matt demands them as Scott hesitates.

"Matt, please," Scott begs him but Matt just presses take the gun deeper into Ellie's head, making her suck a deep breath.

"Open the door," everyone says as Scott just sat there tense.

"Open the door," Matt demands slowly. Scott puts his hand on the knob and turns it. The door opens slowly, allowing the boys to look at the reception. It's not Melissa standing in the lobby, it's Derek making Scott sigh with relief.

"Oh, thank gosh," Scott murmurs as Ellie sighs in relief seeing Derek.

But before anything can happen, Derek falls onto his back on the floor of the office with a painful blow.

"Derek!" Ellie yells trying to get to him but Matt just pulls her closer to him and shakes his head.

In the doorway stood Jackson who looks down at him, with his head tilted like a curious animal.

"Damn it!" Ellie yells angrily as Derek just runs his fingers through her hair making her close her eyes at the feeling.

Matt pulls Ellie along with him as he walks towards Derek, who glares at Matt looking before looking at Ellie worried who nods at him sending a not-so-convincing smile.

"This is the one controlling him? This kid?" Derek asks in disbelief making Matt push Ellie towards Jackson who puts his claws to her neck but doesn't touch her as Matt crouches next to Derek.

Ellie looks towards Jackson who looks into the girl's eyes. Neither say anything as they just stare at each other making Stiles look at them confused.

Ellie looks at the screen before looking wide-eyed as she sucks in a breath realizing what just happened.

"Well, Derek, not everyone is lucky enough to be a big and bad werewolf. Oh, yes! That's right, that's right. I've learned a few things lately. Werewolves, hunters, guardians, kanimas... It's like a Halloween party every full moon. Except for you, Stiles. What do you become?" Matt asks as Stiles shrugs his shoulders a little.

"Abominable snowman. But, hey, it's more like a winter thing, you know? Seasonal." Stiles says sarcastically making Ellie laugh at him.

"Not the time Stiles!" Stilinski yells at his son and sighs but nods his head.

Matt nods to Jackson, who instantly scratches the back of Stiles's neck.

"Stiles!" Ellie yells trying to get to him but Jackson holds her back shaking his head as Stiles begins to fall forward. Stiles falls on top of Derek making them both groan at the impact.

Ellie tries not to laugh really wishing she had her phone right now.

Ellie begins to chuckle making everyone follow her as Stiles and Derek glare at her. 

"You bitch..," Stiles mumbles although weakly and hard to do.

"Get him off me," Derek demands with a growl as Matt crouches down next to them again.

"Oh, I don't know, Derek, I think you two are a pretty good couple! Much better than you and the beautiful Ellie," Matt tells him making Derek glare at him as Matt chuckles.

"You know I truly do not get how you ended up with her. I mean you are you," Matt says disgusted before looking towards Ellie who shudders slightly from his stares.

"And she's her," Matt says as Jackson pulls Ellie closer to him making Ellie look at him. It was as if Jackson was shielding her from Matt.

Chris looks at the screen closely. Truthfully he would rather her be around the deadly lizard than Matt at the moment.

Matt shakes his head looking towards Derek once again.

"It must kind of suck, though, to have all that power taken away from you with just a little cut to the back of the neck. I bet you're not used to feeling this helpless," Matt says with a smirk as Derek looks at him.

"Still got some teeth. Why don't you get down here a little closer, huh? We'll see how helpless I am," Derek threatens him with a glare.

"Please do," Ellie tells Derek who chuckles at her.

"Yeah, bitch." Stiles murmurs against Derek's chest as Ellie sighs glaring at the boy as they hear another car pull up making Scott tense.

"...Is that her?" Matt asks looking towards Scott with a smirk as Ellie tense.

"Do what I tell you to, and I won't hurt her. I won't even let Jackson near her," Matt tells Scott who just looks at him.

"Scott, don't trust him," Stiles warns him weakly from the ground. Matt glares at him before he moves behind Ellie wrapping his hand firmly around her throat, cutting off her air circulation while her hand flies up to try to get it off.

"Ellie!" Everyone yells as Ellie holds her throat in the movie room making sure no one was touching her.

"Ellie!" The three yells terrified as Ellie kicks her leg back and knocks Matt down before she could do anything else Jackson wraps his arm around her shoulders stopping her.

Chris sighs in relief seeing his daughter no longer being choked but glares at the bruise already forming around her throat.

"Okay. All right. Stop!" Scott says anxiously looking at Ellie.

"You take 'em in there," Matt tells Jackson gesturing towards Derek and Stiles.

"You two with me," Matt demands pulling Ellie and Scott towards the front. Scott grabs Ellie's hand squeezing it reassuringly as he looks at her neck that was already bruising.

"Mom?" Scott calls out as the two see Melissa. Matt not being seen yet.

"You scared me! Where is every--," Melissa begins before looking wide-eyed as Matt comes out holding the gun toward Ellie and Scott.

"Mom, just do what he says. He promised he wouldn't hurt you," Scott tells her nervously as Melissa looks at them worriedly.

"He's right," Matt says before looking at Ellie.

Ellie looks worried at that as she squeezes Allison and Derek's hands.

"You should have given me a chance..," Matt tells Ellie before the gun goes off and Ellie feels a sharp pain in her stomach.

"Ellie!" Everyone screams as the brunette just sat in her seat frozen seeing what just happened.

She was about to die. She was watching as she was about to die.

"Ellie!" Scott yells as he catches the girl who begins to fall to the ground the two pressing on Ellie's stomach.

"Scott! Ellie! Stiles! What happened?" Stilinski shouts from where he was locked up.

"Ellie!" Derek yelled from the sheriff's office as Scott looks at Ellie panicked.

"But I didn't say I wouldn't hurt her," Matt tells the two as Melissa tries to head towards the two but Matt points the gun toward her.

"Back, back!" Matt yells as Ellie and Scott look worried.

"Mom, mom, stop!" Scott tells her as Ellie shakes her head afraid Matt would hurt her too.

"I said get back," Matt tells her sternly.

"Melissa," Ellie tells shaking her head with a pleading look. Mellisa looks at the two teenagers before she slowly steps back as Matt continues to point the gun at her.

"Get up, McCall," Matt tells Scott who looks at Ellie worriedly but she nods telling him.

"Matt? Matt, listen to me-" Stilinski shouts.

"Shut--shut--shut up! Everybody shut the hell up!" Matt yells before looking at Scott and pointing the gun at Melissa.

"Now, get up, or I shoot her next!" Matt threatens as Scott slowly gets up making Ellie hiss from the moment. 

"Please, she needs to see a doctor," Melissa begs Matt as Jackson comes and picks Ellie up who winces as she groans being carried to the sheriff's office.

Jackson lays the girl against Stilinski's desk with Derek right beside her and stiles beside him. The two look at the girl worriedly.

"Ellie! Baby," Derek tells her as Ellie reaches for his head squeezing it tightly.

"He shot me and I think it might have hit something important," Ellie tells him as the bleeding continues getting worse. 

Chris looks at the screen horrified. He knew she was losing way too much blood way too much. If she didn't get help soon she would die from blood loss. 

Derek goes to take Ellie's pain away and she shakes her head at him.

"No don't because the moment it stops hurting means I'm as good as dead," Ellie tells Derek sadly as he shakes his head at her.

"You're going to be okay. You remember you promised," Derek tells her reassuringly as Ellie looks towards him with tears in her eyes.

"I know I said I would be okay but I don't want to die Derek. I can't leave Allie or dad now that's moms gone. I can't leave you," Ellie tells him as she sobs making Derek hold back tears wishing he could hold her.

"Damn fucking fate," Ellie mumbles as she sobs shaking her head and looking towards her ceiling.

"What are you talking about?" Stiles asks worriedly as Ellie tries to calm down.

"I'm fated to die, Stiles. From the moment was born I've been fated to die before my 23rd birthday. Follow the footsteps of my ancestor," Ellie tells Stiles who felt his heart stop for a moment.

"But I want to travel. I want to get married and have kids. I want to eat cake in every country," Ellie says as sobs shaking her head.

"I want to be happy. Actually happy and not pretend happy like I always try to be," Ellie says shaking her head.

"I want to live without fear of dying," Ellie whispers out as Derek squeezes her hand.

"You will. We will. I promise you," Derek tells Ellie whose breathing begins to get heavier.

"We can start wherever you want and do it for as long as you want," Derek tells Ellie who smiles at him softly before coughing as she cries out in pain.

Ellie removes her hand seeing the red blood all over it as she squeezes her eyes shut trying not to sob.

"Derek...," Ellie calls making him look at her worriedly.

"My bedside table has a fake back to it inside it holds everything I want for my funeral," Ellie tells him tearing up. 

Chris shakes his head at that as Allison tears up squeezing her twin tightly to her.

"Ellie...," Derek whispers shaking his head as Ellie looks at him terrified.

"It's not hurting that much anymore," Ellie whispers out as Derek looks close to tears and tears were rolling down Stiles's face.

Everyone looks at the screen sadly as Talia squeezes her son's hand.

"I always thought if I died it would be in an epic way. Not on the floor of the sheriff station," Ellie chuckles shaking her head.

Ellie tries to stay awake but slowly her eyes begin to close no matter how hard she tries to keep them open.

"Please don't close your eyes, Ellie. Please don't leave me," Derek begs with tears in his eyes as Ellie begins to fall over.

Suddenly, the lights went out throughout the building and the alarm began to sound. In a matter of seconds, the shots began to be fired from the outside to the inside.

After the shooting stopped, a smoke grenade had been shot. Jackson came into the room and saw Ellie and begins picking her up.

"No! Leave her alone!" Derek yells as feelings begin to come back through his body.

Jackson runs from the office with an unconscious Ellie before laying her in front of the doors and heading toward Matt.

Chris Argent along with Allison opens the doors and looks wide-eyed.

"Ellie!" Chris yells as she runs towards his daughter removing his jacket and wrapping it around her waist before picking her up.

"Don't leave me too," Allison begs as Chris passes Ellie's body to Allison as she sits in the back seat.

Allison pressed onto Ellie's wound feeling her pulse become weaker and weaker while Chris speeds towards the hospital as Allison.

Once they arrive Chris didn't even put the SUV in park before he jumps out and grabs Ellie from Allison as he runs toward the hospital.

"Help my daughter was shot. Help her please!" Chris begs as the doctors run toward them taking Ellie from Chris.

Chris wraps his arms around Allison as they both watch Ellie get rushed toward the OR.
