And this is totally the place where claws came out from the ground and tried to drag me to my death. [ Stiles is in full on tour guide mode because Scott showed up at his window yesterday and they are the bromantic romeo and romeo. It's sweet, totally. ]

And down here is where the Circus started stealing people.

( ooc: So throw anyone at him. No Stiles-twins pls unless they are super au, but canon mates, come here, come to Stiles. Scott (wolfteen) may be making a spamming appearance too because that's how they roll, yo. )

[foughtfor]

How can he have forgotten everything else?

[A lot had gone wrong that night.]

Scott...[Allison's voice falters and she takes a step closer. She can't accept the compliment. It hurts to hear it because she has to stay away and fix things before she can deserve to be with him again.]

I'm sorry. [For going with Matt. For everything that had happened since the Rave.]

[wolfteen]

[ When she looks like that, he just wants to hold her. Why can't he just hold her? It doesn't feel right. ]

You don't…have to say that.

I mean, you already did.

[foughtfor]

It isn't enough to say it once.

[She pushes her her away from her eyes.]

But... I can't avoid you here Scott. Stiles makes this place sound worse than home and ...I'll worry about you if I can't see you.

[wolfteen]

You don't have to worry about me. [ He needs to make this easier on her, somehow. He has to make it better. ]

But I don't like staying away from you, Allison. I won't if you don't want me to.

[foughtfor]

Yes I do. [She's seen Derek on the videos now. Knows he is here and the pain and anger are bubbling up.] I can't let you die.

[Her hand lands on his arm.]

Please Scott...I'm not ready to get back together but...

[wolfteen]

I'm not going to die, why would you say that?

[ He looks down at her hand, surprised. Then he puts his own over it. ]

I just want to do what's right by you, Allison. Tell me what you need, and I'll do it.

[foughtfor]

Because trouble always seems to find you.

[And it does. She knows he never asked to be a werewolf, or to be caught up in Derek's stuff.

Her body feels warmer than it has in days, his touch capable of lifting the cold, numb feeling.]

I need a friend.

[wolfteen]

[ Oh God. That's like a dagger in his heart. He literally doesn't know if he can do that, they've never just been friends. And he loves her.

But he'll try. Because he loves her.

He squeezes her hand. ]

It's pretty good at finding you, too.

I'm here for you, okay? You don't have to do anything alone.

[foughtfor]

[Friends held hands right? She loved him all the more for this.]

I made my own trouble this time.


Thanks Scott. There's stuff I need to face...

We need to work out what we are doing here.

[wolfteen]

[ Oh God, what should he even do? What does he say? ]

I, I guess I'm gonna find somewhere to stay first. Stiles is staying with Derek, but I don't think I should...I mean, I don't think that's gonna work.

[ Because he thinks Derek probably hates him, so. ]

I've heard people talking and we might not even be here for long, so I'm gonna maybe find a hotel or something.

[ YEP, KEEP TALKING LIKE EVERYTHING IS NORMAL. Maybe then it will be. ]

[foughtfor]

Scott please don't stay with Derek. [Allison blurts it out quickly, her heart racing. Everything relating to Derek was like a dark tangled web around her and she didn't know how to break through it yet.

Derek and her grandfather had taught her how to hate and it was such a strong emotion it had enveloped her and now it scared her.]

Please. I don't want you to be near him.

[wolfteen]

[ He pauses, looking at her. Frowning. ]

Why?

He wouldn't hurt me, Allison. I don't think I'm his favorite person right now, but he's not...dangerous, or anything.

[foughtfor]

He is dangerous Scott. And if you stay went to stay with him. I couldn't visit you.

He bit my mom. [Her voice chokes] and I don't know how I can forgive him for that.

[wolfteen]

Allison, I already said I wasn't going to-

[ Trailing off, and staring at her. He doesn't know this. He's only heard the public story of what happened to her mom. ]

What are you talking about? Your mom wasn't a werewolf, what...?

[foughtfor]

[Allison removes her hand from Scott's and wraps her arms around her body. There was a lot he had missed.]

It happened after the rave. Derek bit her. [Allison's voice is tight.]

She. killed herself. before she could become one. [It was hard to admit. She'd lost her chance to say goodbye because she had been more concerned about Lydia's party.]

[wolfteen]

[ His instinct is to reach for her, but then he pulls back. He has to remember. She still wants her space, and she's withdrawing now. ]

After the rave?!

[ There's confusion on his face, followed by clarity. He suddenly feels sick. Oh no. No... ]

Allison...I, I saw that fight. He didn't mean to, he couldn't have. I'm not even sure he knew.

[foughtfor]

You saw the fight. [Allison's eyes widen.] All of it Scott? [No, he couldn't have. Scott wouldn't have let it happen.]

He meant it alright. He meant to hurt my family.

[wolfteen]

No. He didn't, Allison.

[ He takes a breath. ] He meant to save me.

[foughtfor]

He ....what?

[Allison takes a step back with confusion written all over her face.]

I don't understand.

[wolfteen]

I...

[ God, that look on her face. ]

Allison, I don't want to hurt you.

[foughtfor]

I need to know. [Her eyes beg him.]

I need to understand why it happened...because of that bite Scott, I went after Derek and the ones that followed him.

[She had to know if her Grandfather had lied to her somehow.]

[wolfteen]

You mean that's why you were on their side?

[ No. No, he can't let that happen. He can't let her turn into her mom...or her aunt. That's not Allison, and for a minute, she had looked just like them. He remembers how she'd stabbed Isaac, slashed him down with knives... ]

Derek only found her that night because I was with her. She hit me with a car, Allison, and she knocked me out. When I woke up, she had a bong, with wolfsbane. It was all over the room, she said it'd be like an asthma attack. I howled, and Derek heard. He fought her off through the smoke and then he got me out. Then we just got out of there.

[ He takes a breath. ]

The next thing I heard about your mom was that she'd killed herself.

[foughtfor]

[Allison stood numbly in front of Scott with her hands over her mouth. She couldn't process it. If the bite had been deliberate it had been in revenge for what her mom had done to Scott. Allison felt completely sick in her stomach.

Would it have been any better if she had lost Scott rather than her mom? Her heart told her no.]

Why would she try to kill you?

[Her voice is muffled by her hands.]

[wolfteen]

[ Scott swallows, which doesn't help anything. His mouth is totally dry. ]

Remember...I told you that I thought your mom had found out about us?

She knew we had sex. She wanted me away from you.

Look, Allison. Derek came to help me. That room, it was full of wolfsbane, and everything happened really fast. He didn't bite her on purpose, okay? I know he didn't. He wouldn't, that's just not Derek.

[ Because yeah, he may have faults as an Alpha, but he'd never turned anyone who didn't want it. ]

[foughtfor]

[Allison turns away from Scott.]

Ask him if it was an accident.

[She bites down hard on her lip, drawing blood. The hurt she felt from the revelations, hurt worse than her mom's death. She didn't know where she was supposed to turn. If Scott was right about Derek, she had done everything wrong.

She had brought more hurt than she had help.]

My mom...she ...could have killed you.
