ð¹ The Hunter and The Hunted ð¹
"Scott." Deaton said as he followed Scott out the hospital, "We don't know where she's going or what she's doing." Deaton said. "Or how the hell she's alive." Argent said as they walked over to Lydia and Malia, "Well, can we answer that question after we find her?" Lydia asked.
"That woman may look like Allison, but it doesn't mean that she is Allison." Deaton said and Argent shook his head. "She didn't recognize me." He said and Scott nodded, "Me either. But she saw me heal. She knows what I am." Scott said and Argent furrowed his brows.
"So she doesn't remember us but she knows about werewolves." Argent said and Lydia raised her eyebrows, "It's frighteningly convenient for a werewolf hunter who just got brought back to life." Lydia said and Malia nodded. "She also knew how to kick ass, specifically my ass." Malia said.
"Hold on- When I told her my last name was McCall, she looked at me like she... was expecting something else." Scott said and Avalon sighed, "Hale." She said and Melissa raised her eyebrows.
"But if the only thing she remembers right now is that she hunts and kills werewolves-" Melissa said and Scott's eyes widened, "Then we need to find Derek." He said. "I'm coming with you." Malia said, "So am I." Avalon said and Scott nodded before they ran over to Scott's car.

Derek crawled on the ground, hand on his bleeding neck as Allison slowly followed him. Derek slowly turned onto his back, staring up Allison as she stopped before holding up her bow.
She released the arrow when all of the sudden, Liam came out of nowhere, grabbing the arrow before letting out a roar. Allison quickly grabbed another arrow and released it before a girl named Hikari ran out in front of Liam. The arrow hit Hikari in the arm before erupting into flames as her eyes glowed a fiery orange and a fiery fox aura surrounded her body.
Avalon, Malia and Scott quickly ran down the hallway, making Allison run off while Scott and Avalon quickly got down next to Derek while Malia tried to follow Allison. "Scott, get to Eli." Derek said weakly as Avalon gently pressed her hand over his wound, "Derek, he's not here." Scott said.
"He was. He knows what to do. We- we have a plan. He has- he has the car." Derek said weakly and Avalon shook her head slightly, "Stop talking." She said calmly. "Eli, he'll go to the shop. He knows what to do. He knows what to do." Derek said before he went limp slightly, making Scott's eyes widen. "Hey, hey!" Scott said while Avalon shook her head slightly, "He just passed out. He's still alive, but we need to get him out of here. I can heal him but we should probably get him out of here first." She said before finally noticing her brother and Hikari.
"What are you guys doing there? I thought you were in Japan." Avalon said and Liam sighed and nodded befor looking at Scott. "Scott." Liam said, making Scott look back at him, "It's not just Allison. It's the Oni. It's the Nogitsune." Liam said. "They're coming." Hikari said, before Malia ran up to them.
"Scott, what do we do?" Liam said and Scott took a deep breath before opening his glowing red eyes. "Liam, get to Stilinski, find Lydia, and tell them we need their help. Tell them we need everyone." Scott said before Liam and Hikari ran off.
"Malia, Avalon, let's get him out of here." Scott said and Malia quickly ran over to help Scott and Avalon.

Malia drove with Scott in the passenger seat and Avalon in the back with Derek's head on her lap, a small towel pressed against his wound. Derek suddenly woke up with a slight gasp, looking up at Avalon.
"Eli." He said and Scott nodded as he looked back at him, "We're gonna find him but we have to help you." Scott said and Derek shook his head slightly, making Avalon grab the top of head to keep him still. "No. No, Eli. His ankle, he twisted it. He can't run." Derek said, making Avalon sigh softly.
"But he can heal." Scott said and Derek shook his head, "No, he won't." He said. "Eli can't heal, not like a werewolf, not yet." Avalon said, making Scott raise his eyebrows, "What's wrong with him?" He asked and Malia sighed. "You know how some people pass out when they see a needle? Eli passes out when he sees his own fangs." Malia said.
"He passes out?" Scott asked, "The fangs come out." Derek said and Malia nodded slightly. "He's on the floor. Claws too." Avalon said as Derek breathed heavily, "Scott, you have to find him. You have to find him before she does." Derek said and Scott nodded.
ð¹
"All right. Come on." Scott said as he and Malia carried Derek into the house, "Easy." Melissa said as they brought him over to the couch.
"You have to find Eli. Eli. You have to find him." Derek said weakly as Melissa kneeled down next to him, "Derek, you're gonna need to let Scott and the others take care of it, okay? Anyone that loses this much blood, human or werewolf, you're not gonna be any good to anyone else." Melissa said.
"The healing process works faster with fire." Deaton said and Avalon started to walk forward but stopped when they suddenly heard something in the hallway, making them all look over to find Peter leaning against the wall, lighting a cigar with a small torch. "I've been known to light a spark or two in my time." He said with a slight country accent before walking over, torch still on.
He chuckled as he sat the cigar in an ashtray before looking at Derek who shook his head. "Peter, no." He said and Peter just smiled at him before holding the flame to Derek's wound. Derek screamed out in pain, making Avalon roll her eyes before Derek passed out and Peter pulled the flame back.
Peter walked away before glancing back at everyone to see them all staring at him with disapproving and annoyed looks. "Do I need to remind you people that he slashed my throat once and it killed me?" Peter asked and Malia raised her eyebrows, "When it comes to you, most of us try to forget." Malia said, making Peter look at her.
"That is no way to speak to your father."
"We're running out of time. We've got to catch up to Eli." Scott said and Peter raised his eyebrows, "You mean before Allison does." Peter said before gasping lightly. "Allison Argent, back from the dead, running around shooting up werewolves like a good little hunter. But you must be so proud." Peter said, looking at Argent.
Argent started walking towards Peter making Melissa step forward, "Can we just lower the level of the testosterone in the room, fellas?" Melissa asked, glancing between Argent and Peter. "Derek said they have a plan for when something like this happens?" He asked.
"The auto shop." Avalon said and Peter nodded, "That's where they'll go. Emergency rendezvous point. How far behind was Allison?" Peter asked, "Not far enough." Scott said and Malia looked at him. "I'm coming with you." She said and Scott shook his head, "No. Avalon needs to heal Derek and then you guys need to find Lydia. Liam and Hikari are already looking for Stilinski, but honestly, if there's anyone who could figure this thing out, it's Lydia. Heal Derek and find Lydia. I'll get Eli." Scott said before running out and Melissa ran after him.
Avalon crouched down next to Derek, taking a deep as she pressed her hand to Derek's wound. One of her eyes turned a golden yellow while the other eye turned a fiery red-orange. A moment later, red veins trailed up her arm as the burn and everything underneath started to heal.

"If Allison catches up to Eli, we might need some real medical attention, not just a blow torch." Melissa said as she and Argent walked over to Peter while Deaton and Avalon stayed by Derek. "I feel like that was aimed at me." Peter said, turning to Argent, "Get out of the way or there'll be a gun aimed at you." Argent said as Deaton and Avalon stood up.
"Of course. Just satisfy my curiosity about one thing. Who are you going out there to help, her or him, predator or prey?" Peter asked and Argent raised his eyebrows, "I'll stop anyone who tried to kill an innocent fifteen-year-old." Argent saif and Peter looked him up and down.
"And yet you look like a man with doubts. Let's ask the experts. Mr. Deaton, Avalon." Peter said, making Argent and Melissa turn to look at Deaton and Avalon, who glanced at each other. "Since when was I an expert?" Avalon asked, "The Nogitsune is an extraordinarily powerful creature. It can create illusions that are nearly indistinguishable from reality." Deaton said and Peter learned towards Argent.
"Illusion." He whispered, "I'm not sure if an illusion can shoot real arrows that nearly kills someone. So that 'illusion' today definitely looked pretty damn real to me. " Avalon said and Melissa nodded in agreement. "Me too." She said and Argent nodded, "I know what I saw." He said before Deaton and Avalon went back over to Derek while Argent looked at Peter.
"I saw an exact replica, meant to trick us into lowering our guard. My daughter is gone. Whoever or whatever is out there isn't Allison. It's an illusion." Argent said and Peter leaned forward slightly, "Then I say let's dispel the illusion." He said before Argent walked past him, Melissa and Peter following.
