"Allie dad I'm fine," Ellie tells them with a soft smile as they head her toward her bedroom both of them on each side of the girl holding her up making sure she didn't fall.

After waking up Ellie was called a miracle for recovering from her death bed and neither Allison nor Chris has left her side since.

"You should still be in the hospital," Chris tells his daughter who shakes her head at him.

"Are you sure you don't sleep on the couch or in my room?" Allison asks her hopefully making Ellie smiles at her.

"I want my bed, Allie. I've been in a hospital bed for over a week," Ellie tells her Allison sighs as the three walks into Ellie's room.

"Ugh! Absolutely not!" Ellie says shaking her head making Chris and Allison shake their heads at her.

"Yeah, mom hates the hospital. The second she could after she gave birth she left," Emilia says making Laurie and Blake nod agreeing with her.

"Alright careful," Chris instructs as he and Allison lower her onto the bed slowly making Ellie smiles at them as she leans back.

"Dad I'm fine. Completely healed," Ellie tells him as Chris sighs looking at her worriedly before looking towards her wrist which now was fully healed.

"And a werewolf," Allison mumbles as she looks towards her dad with a glare making Ellie sigh.

"If I didn't she would be dead," Chris tells his daughter who nods. Allison knew that so why was she glaring at her dad? It didn't make sense.

"Actually I'm a hybrid," Ellie tells them as the two give deadpanned her making Ellie give them a sheepish smile.

"True I am! And the only one to exist," Ellie says smirking making everyone shake their head at the girl.

"I'm going to go get all your gifts from the car," Chris says with a groan as Ellie laughs thinking of all the gifts she got.

Stiles of course got her the most. The day after she woke up Stiles came into the room with a balloon, a giant teddy bear, and her favorite flowers along with a whole chocolate cake.

Stiles smirks at that making Ellie smile at him shaking her head.

Then Danny came to visit with a jersey signed by the whole lacrosse team along with Coach.

Lydia then came with her makeup kit and styled Ellie's hair making her chuckle as Lydia begin giving her a manicure telling the girl even in a hospital bed she could still look cute.

Ellie begins chuckling at that as Lydia shrugs. She was right.

After Lydia Scott came and just looked at her with guilt making Ellie hit him over the head. Scott then gave Ellie a milkshake he got her making Ellie smile at him.

"Scott you couldn't have done anything. Matt already decided to hurt me the moment I turned him down," Ellie tells Scott who nods at her although still slightly feeling guilty.

Issac came by as well. He sat with Ellie laughing as the two ate Stiles's cake.

"Seriously? You ate the cake with Issac and not me?!" Stiles yells making Ellie smile at him sheepishly.

Derek tried to come by but Allison threatened to kill him if she saw him there again which meant Issac was keeping Derek updated on Ellie.

Ellie and Allison share a look at that wondering if this was part of the plan the two made.

Sheriff Stilinski and Melissa came by worried about the girl. The sheriff told Ellie what happened to Matt. And to say she was mad was an understatement.

She wanted to kill him but no of course someone had to take that from her. Drowning him to death.

"Ugh! That's not fair!" Ellie yells angrily at the screen making Chris sigh at his daughter shaking his head.

━━━━━ ✧༺✶༻✧ ━━━━━

"Dad! Daddio! Chris Argent!" Ellie yells from her room as Chris walks in shaking his head with a small smile.

"Yes, Princess?" Chris asks her with an amused look making Ellie smiles at him. Her innocent I want something from you smile.

"Oh no," Chris mutters making Ellie wink at him.

"Tonight's the championship game-," Ellie begins but Chris shakes his head no right away.

"Absolutely not!" Chris yells at his daughter who pouts at him sadly.

"Dad, please! I am fine. I am adjusting to being a werewolf and fully healed. Think of this as a test to see if I can handle loud places with a bunch of people. Please!" Ellie begs using her puppy dog eyes as Chris sighs looking at her.

"Call every thirty minutes," Chris tells her as Ellie squeals.

"Yes sir!" Ellie cheers as she smiles brightly making Chris smiles at her. Apart of him thought he would never see that smile again.

"I can't believe I caved that easily," Chris says shaking his head.

"The power of my puppy dog eyes!" Ellie says chuckling before gasping dramatically.

"I'm a puppy now!" Ellie yells making everyone just stare before they begin laughing at the girl.

"Oh, where's Allison?" Ellie asks her dad who sighs.
"With Gerard," Chris says as Ellie nods looking non-affected as Chris looks at her.

"Eww," Ellie says making Allison chuckle at her as Chris shakes his head eyeing the two.

"Eleanor May what are you planning?" Chris asks her as he eyes her making Ellie put in an innocent face.

"Me? I'm not planning anything," Ellie tells him with an innocent smile as Chris just looks at her.

Everyone looks at the girl making her roll her eyes at them.

"That bad," Ellie tells him with a smile as she heads towards her closet.

"See. It's not that bad.....maybe," Ellie says muttering the last part making Allison chuckle at her.

Chris watches her with calculating and close eyes. Ellie truly scared him sometimes.

"I'm not scary!" Ellie defends making everyone look at her as Ellie scoffs at them.

And it wasn't because she was reckless at times and a terrible driver.

"My driving has improved!" Ellie defends herself.

No, it was because of how calculating and manipulative she could be at times. There was a darkness in her that made him worry.

"It's not that dark," Ellie mutters.

"For now," Anna whispers to her twin making Marie nod agreeing with her, but everyone with supernatural hearing heard her.

With they were all wondering how dark will the older Argent get and how deadly will it be?

For if Ellie wanted to she could have everyone she knew and probably more on their knees for her. She knew how to use what she knew to her advantage and what she knew no one ever found out until she wanted them to.

Everyone now looks towards Ellie whose head was in Allison's lap as she ate some popcorn.

━━━━━ ✧༺✶༻✧ ━━━━━

Soon Ellie arrives at the game dressed in the jersey the team signed for her and a pair of leggings with combat boots on.

The girl immediately notices all the sympathy and pity looks making her ignore them as she looks around. A smile immediately appears on her face when she spots someone.

Ellie and Allison roll their eyes at those looks. Both already annoyed with them.

"Danny!" Ellie exclaims heading towards him quietly as the boy turns around, and once Stiles and Scott hear her voice they turn around as well. The three looking at her worriedly.

"Should you be here?" The three asked at the same time making Ellie roll her eyes.

"I'm now a werewolf. I heal quickly and I've had an anchor for seven years I'll be fine," Ellie says waving off the concerned looks.

"I'm fine! A bullet cannot stop me from cheering on my favorite lacrosse players!" Ellie tells them with a smile making Stiles side hug the girl with a smile on his face.

"Good I will need my good luck charm," Danny says kissing the top of Ellie's hand making her smile as Danny walks away.

Ellie smiles at Stiles reassuringly seeing his worried look. Seeing her smile Stiles smiles back as he hugs her tighter to him.

Stiles wouldn't lie he was beyond happy that Ellie was here and that he could see she was alright. For Ellie couldn't leave him and Stiles had never felt that much fear since his mom's death.

Stiles looks towards Ellie who smiles at him handing him the popcorn bowl making Stiles smile at her.

It was like Stiles and Ellie were meant to meet. They were meant to become friends. As if they knew each other already before they even met. Sometimes it felt as if the two were other halves of the same soul. Like they were twins.

"Sorry I already have that spot Stiles. You aren't taking it from me," Allison tells the boy with a pointed look making Stiles scoff at her.

"How are you?" Scott asks Ellie worriedly who smiles at him.

"I'm good. I promise," Ellie tells Scott who looks at her listening to her heartbeat to detect any lies but doesn't find one.

"You wouldn't even if I was lying. I know how to keep my heartbeat steady," Ellie says rolling her eyes at that. It was like the first lesson she learned from her dad.

"Have you seen Allison?" Scott asks Ellie with a sigh.

"She's fine. Something came up," Ellie tells him waving off his concern as Scott nods although he didn't look that convinced.

Allison and Ellie shared a look but neither said anything.

"Do you know what's going on?" Stiles asks the older Argent as his eyes scanned the field to where Gerard was standing.

"Nope been in the hospital. Sort of out of the loop," Ellie tells him with a shrug as Stiles rolls his eyes at her.

"It's going to be bad, isn't it? "Like, people screaming, running through their lives, blood, killing, mutilating a little badly?" Stiles asks as Ellie who nods at him.

"Definitely," Ellie tells him as Scott and Stiles give her a deadpanned look making her shrug.

"What? You expect me to lie or something?" Ellie asks confused making Stiles sighs sadly as he looks at everything else.

"I was taught to be truthful to others," Ellie says winking at her father who sighs at her shaking his head.

"Ellie Scott...the other night, when I saw my father being hit on the head by Matt and Ellie bleeding out, you know, while I'm lying there and I can't even move, it's just...," Stiles says as he pauses making Ellie squeeze his hand.

"I want to help, you know? But I can't do the things you both can do. I can't...," Stiles says sadly as Ellie and Scott shake their heads.

"Stiles these abilities might help but so do you. Your brain. Your loyalty. You help Stiles. I promise. Human or not you always help," Ellie reassured him as Stiles smiles at her.

"You do Stiles. I'm 100 percent sure if you weren't around everything would fall apart," Ellie tells him making Stiles smile at her.

"But we are still losing," Stiles says as he sighs and metaphorically looks at the field making Coach who was walking by stop looking at the trio.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Coach asks confused scaring the three teenagers.

"The game hasn't even started!" Coach exclaims before looking at Ellie.

"Coach!" Ellie exclaims as she gets up and hugs him making Coach chuckles as Ellie sighs.

"He hugged you," Stiles and Scott stare wide-eyed not knowing what to say making Ellie smirk.

"I missed your speech. I love your speech. The best speech ever," Ellie tells him with a sigh as Coach smiles at her.

"It doesn't even make sense," Scott tells her making Ellie wave him off now wanting to hear the speech.

"Now this is why I like you, Ellie," Coach tells her making Ellie smile brightly before she looks at Stiles with a cheeky smile.

"Now, put on your helmet and go out. You're in Greenberg," Coach tells Stiles as he looks wide-eyed and Ellie smiles brightly.

"Wait what?!" Stiles yells excitedly as Ellie chuckles.

"What? What happened to Greenberg? Stiles asks him stunned.

"What happened to Greenberg? He sucks! You suck a little less," Coach mocks as Ellie laughs at the insults.

"I'm playing? On the field? With the team?" Stiles says flabbergasted as Ellie nods his head excitedly.

"Yes, unless you prefer to play with yourself...," Coach questions sarcastically as Ellie gags.

"I already did it today, twice," Stiles says making Ellie move away from him disgusted.

"Stiles!" Everyone yells at the boy who looks at them sheepishly making Stilinski sigh at his son. 

"Eww. Just Ew," Ellie says as she scrunches up her nose disgusted and shakes her head walking towards the bleachers.

"Lydia," Ellie calls as she goes to sit beside her who was sitting with Melissa and Sheriff Stilinski.

"How are you, Ellie?" Sheriff Stilinski asks her worriedly as Ellie smiles at him.

"I'm good Sheriff. Thank you for asking," Ellie tells him with a smile as she lays her head on Lydia's shoulder who smiles at her.

"Oh, no... Why is my son running out to the field?" Sheriff Stilinski asks as he looks at Stiles running on the field making the three girls look toward him.

"..Because he's on the team?" Melissa tells him confused as Stilinski looks at her surprised.

"He is...?" Stilinski asks in surprise as the three girls nod at him Ellie chuckling slightly.

Stiles sends his dad a look who pats his shoulder making Stiles smile at him.

"He's on the team...He's-he's on the field...," Stilinski says as he begins to realize what was happening.

"He's on the field!" Stilinski yells as he jumps up excitedly encouraging his son making Ellie smile at him.

"Let's go, Biles!" Ellie cheers as she laughs making everyone look at her confused as she shakes her.

"Inside joke," Ellie tells them as they nod still confused though. The whistle is then blown indicating that the game had begun.

Stiles caught the ball and when he did, he stayed there surprised that he caught it, but ended up with him being tackled as Ellie winced and pulls her phone out to start videoing.

"Ellie!" Lydia exclaims as she shrugs looking at the strawberry blonde. 

"Perfect blackmails material," Ellie tells Lydia who laughs.

"Ellie!" Stiles yells as the girl laughs at him nodding her head.

"...He's probably just warming up," Melissa tells the group reassuringly more Stilinksi than anyone else.

The game then resumed and Stiles was heading towards the ball ready to lift it with the stick, but again he was hit.

"Oh, he's just a little nervous. Plenty of time to turn it around," Lydia mentions as Ellie chuckles slightly but nods.

"Definitely," Ellie states smiling brightly as Lydia laughs at her best friend shaking her head. 

Stiles looks at the screen sheepishly while Ellie just chuckles shaking her head.

As the game continues, the four watches as Stiles begin getting tackled more and more hit on the head with the ball and lost many passes, but then things only got worse for the team when Issac came in.

Issac looks confused at that.

Ellie was laughing so hard she had tears in her eyes watching as Issac tackled his own teammates but Ellie knew it was for a reason.

Issac looks sheepishly at that just making Ellie laugh even harder.

Probably had something to do with Scott being on the bench and whatever her grandfather had planned. She saw Gerard talking to Scott from across the field but couldn't hear due to everyone's screaming in her ears.

"Issac!" Ellie screams as she watches Jackson tackle Issac to the ground. Ellie watches worriedly as the Paramedics escort him off the field.

Scott and Ellie look at each other and both had the same thought.

Issac.

Issac looks down at that not used to people caring about him.

Scott nods his head at Ellie before he rushes off the field. They both knew where Gerard was and one of them had to stop him before he killed Issac.

Issac looks wide-eyed at that making Ellie send him a reassuring smile.

Ellie holds Lydia's hand tightly as the minutes count down on the clock, and the ball flies from the opposing team.

It seems that none of the players could find it, except one. With the star player nowhere, another rushes towards the ball, Stiles. He snatched the ball from the ground.

"Stilinski!" Coach screams and Stile looks for someone to pass to while Coach yells at him from the bench.

"Stilinski, shoot it! Shoot the ball! Shoot it, you idiot!" Coach shouts at Stiles.

Stiles looks around nervously as the opposing players ran towards him until two voices stood out from the rest.

"Shoot it!" Ellie and Lydia yell at him from the stands making Stiles turn around and fire the ball into the goal.

The entire field seems to be silent. For a short second, all you can hear is the sound of a lacrosse ball hitting the net of a goal.

"I scored a goal," Stiles says slowly before he starts screaming it and begins jumping up and down.

"I scored a goal! I scored a goal!" Stiles yells excitedly before he was pulled back down by Scott who pats his shoulder with a bright smile.

And then the world returns to normal when the stands explode with joy. Stilinski stands up in disbelief while Ellie probably cheers harder than anyone else.

"That's my best friend!" Ellie screams as she jumps off the bleachers. With his mouth open, Stiles can't help but start smiling briefly.

"I scored a goal? I scored a goal! I scored a goal!" Stiles yells happily still in a bit of disbelief.

Ellie jumps into his arms as the two smiles brightly at each other screaming excitedly.

"You scored a goal!" Ellie yells as she shakes Stiles's shoulders.

"I scored a goal!" Stiles yells right back as the two laughs smiling brightly at each other both in disbelief and excitement.

"Argent! Get off the field!" Coach yells at her making Ellie nod.

"Right!" Ellie says as she hugs Stiles once more before heading back to the bleachers. Ellie and Lydia smile brightly at each other as they watch the boy.

The clock continues ticking down Stiles who had the ball again, runs towards the goal while Coach runs along the sidelines screaming in support.

And to everyone's amazement, Stiles shoots and scores again.

"Yes!" Stiles yells happily as Stilinski grabs his son's shoulder smiling brightly.

The crowd jumps up again, Stilinski screaming for his son in the stands while Lydia grabs Ellie's arm and the two girls laugh smiling brightly at each other.

Stiles turns to find Lydia looking at him from the stands. Her proud, excited, and perfect smile reserved for him.

"Yes! It's happening! Everyone it's happening!" Ellie jumps up smiling happily as she squeals.

Stiles just has a bright smile on his face while Lydia had a smile blush on hers.

Ellie watches squealing on the inside. She was the captain of this ship. One way or the other she will make it happen.

"Yes, I will!" Ellie says nodding her head.

The clock then reaches zero and the crowd goes crazy. Stilinski jumps on his feet, hugging Melissa.

Ellie and Lydia wrap their arms around each other as they laughed happily.

On the field, Stiles smiles while his teammates gather around him, the hero of the game.

Ellie screams heading towards Stiles. Stiles catches Ellie this time as they smile at each other laughing and hugging tightly.

But then, one by one, the light of the stadium goes out, immersing the whole field in the dark making everyone confused. Before the stadium turns completely dark and then someone screams.

"Stiles?!" Ellie scrams worriedly as she tries to look for the boy but doesn't see him.

Ellie and Stilinski tense at that worriedly.

With an electric crack, the lights of the stadium turned on again one by one. The field lit up once again.

Ellie looks around and saw that both the Beacon Hills team and their opponents have gathered around a fallen player. Ellie rushes over fear in her body worried it was Stiles.

Stiles tense at that as Ellie and Stilinski squeeze his hand worriedly.

Ellie paused as she gasps seeing the player surrounded by Jackson who looked as if he was dead.

Lydia tenses up at that with tears in her eyes making Ellie and Allison hug her tightly.

"Jackson? What's happened to Jackson? Jackson! Jackson! Jackson, what's happening?" Ellie heard Lydia panic making Ellie rush towards her and pull Lydia into her arms tightly.

"Can we get a medic over here? We're gonna need a medic!" Coach shouts as Melissa push people out of the way and instantly went next to Jackson.

"He's not breathing. No pulse," Melissa says making Lydia sob as she squeezes her grip on Ellie who had tears in her own eyes.

"Nothing?" Coach asks Melissa who shakes her head.

"Nothing," Melissa tells him sadly.

"Oh, my God. There's blood. There's blood!" Lydia cries as Ellie shushes her wrapping her arms so Lydia didn't have to see.

Ellie looks to see blood on the tips of Jackson's fingers, which coincides perfectly with the sharp wounds.

Ellie looks wide-eyed realizing that Jackson did this to himself but the question was why.

Lydia sobs hugging Ellie close to her making Ellie run her fingers through Lydia's hair.

Melissa begins the CPR chest compressions before looking at Lydia.

"Come down here. Come down here and keep grab his head. Tilt it up," Melissa instructs Lydia who nods and gently puts her hands under Jackson's head.

A few meters away, Sheriff Stilinski walks away from the scene, looking through the crowd.

"Stiles. Where's Stiles?" Stilinski asks as he looks around, instantly attracting the attention of the three teenagers and making them look at him.

"Where is my son? Where is Stiles?" Stilinski yells as Ellie looks around in fear unable to find Stiles anywhere. 

Ellie, Scott, and Isaac look at each other with their eyes wide while Stilinski keeps screaming.

"Where is Stiles? Where the hell is my son?!" Stilinski yells in panic.

"No," Ellie whispers as she shakes her head before an enraged look comes across her face. If he was hurt someone was going to die. Painfully.

"He will," Ellie mutters glaring at the screen angrily.
