MIAH STANDS beside the panicked Stilinski boy while he tries to wake up Derek─ who's unconscious on the elevator floor.
"Stiles. Here." Miah says stepping beside him and smacking Derek awake alongside Stiles who raises his fist in the air ready to punch Derek's face.
"Where is she?" Derek says out of shock from the previous knockout the woman gave him, "Jennifer? Gone with Scott's mom." Stiles replies out of breath.
"She took her?" Derek asks annoyed, "Yeah and if that's not enough of a kick to the balls. Scott left with Deucalion, okay? Miah's only here because Scott didn't want her getting hurt. So, we gotta get you out of here. There police are coming right now and we gotta get you the hell out of here." Stiles explains.
Miah helps the man up using some of her strength, "Woah. What about Cora?" Derek asks looking between both teenagers.
"Isaac and the others got her out safe. They're waiting for us. Come on." Miah explains showing Derek the text message on her phone from Isaac.
Derek nods happy with the answer, "You all good staying here on your own Stiles?" Miah asks turning towards the Stilinski boy.
"Yeah. I'm all good. Go with them and make sure everyone's safe, okay?" Stiles says.
Miah salutes him before rushing off behind Derek and getting into the passenger seat of his vehicle.
"I'll come with you. My cars at yours anyways." Miah explains, Derek looks at her and shrugs starting his cruiser up and driving towards where the others are waiting for them.
Miah unbuckles her seatbelt almost straight away once she sees the others ahead of them, jumping from the vehicle.
She runs around to the other side so she can open one of the doors so Derek can put Cora inside his vehicle.
"Where's Scott and Stiles?" Allison asks, "Stiles is still at the hospital. He's gonna hold off the cops for us," Derek explains getting his sister out of the argent's car putting her into the backseat of he's own vehicle with the help of the other two.
"We have to go right now." Derek says looking between Miah and Isaac who immediately nod, "What about Scott and Melissa?" Allison asks.
"Jennifer took Melissa." Miah states opening the passenger side door once more, "What about Scott?" Allison asks looking at the blonde who's biting her lip.
"Derek. Moon. Where's Scott?" Allison asks anxiously seeing Miah snap her eyes up at the nickname Allison has called her twice now.
"He went with Deucalion and didn't let me go with him," Miah replies looking at the brunette girl, "Moon?" Miah repeats once the situation calms down looking towards Allison.
"You like the moon and I've heard others call you it. Sorry." Allison explains.
Miah rushes towards her not hesitating in wrapping her arms around her friend's neck.
"Als, you can call me Moon anytime." Miah nods as the two best friends depart from one another leaving the parking lot to go over different sort of plans.
After calming down in Derek's loft, the blonde girl says her farewells and waits downstairs in the parking lot for Isaac knowing the boy would want a ride to Allison's apartment.
Not knowing that the boy himself is yelling at Derek upstairs about sleeping with the enemy and getting them in this mess in the first place.
Seeing the frown on the Lahey boys face, she starts her car without a word and the two teenagers set off to the Argents apartment to go over the plan with them.
And Stiles who just arrived at the apartment to help them after being questioned by the police at the hospital and letting the man know his possibly Jennifer's next target as his name was on the elevator doors in big bold red writing.
Isaac looks over at Miah who's humming along softly to the beat of the music in her speakers.
"Sorry if I made you uncomfortable the other day when we kissed and stuff. That wasn't my intention." Isaac explains making Miah smile.
"You didn't make me uncomfortable Ike. Don't worry about that. I didn't mind the kiss or the other stuff." Miah shrugs focusing on the road a few blocks away from the Argents apartment.
"Thought I'd make sure since we haven't you know talked since then." Isaac mumbles.
"We've had a lot on." Miah explains shrugging pulling into the parking lot of the apartment complex.
"At least now we can both be honest with one another. We're better off as friends. Plus you're crushing on Allison." Miah smirks turning the ignition off to her car.
"Oh. And you Miah─ are crushing on Scott." Isaac states, the two friends walk into the elevator smiling at one another not denying the crushes they currently have on the two teenagers.
Entering the Argents apartment hearing the last of the three's conversation about Scott and weapons.
"I can't shoot a gun or use a crossbow, but, well," Isaac makes himself known next the blonde girl who's got a ball of her chaos magic aura in her palm and the boy who's holding his claws out.
"I'm getting pretty good with these. Plus with Miah's help, we're settled." Isaac states seeing Allison's bright smile seeing the two walking into the office belonging to her father.
"Okay. Now that Miah is here and I have my forty-five. We're officially set. No offence Isaac." Argent explains knowing the strength of the mage hybrid.
Miah stands beside Isaac flicking her chaos magic between her fingers and flashing her blue coyote eyes smirking at the offended look on Isaac's face.
"Come on. Let's organise this plan." Miah says motioning her head to the desk standing beside the Argent hunter and all of the weapons.
Hearing her phone vibrate from the incoming phone call, Miah sighs seeing the call from Lydia, "Hey Lyds. You okay?" Miah asks stepping out of the office.
"I'm okay. What about you Memi?" Lydia asks, "I'm all good Lyds. I'm with Allison, Argent, Stiles and Isaac. Stiles is coming to meet up with you, okay?" Miah states.
Everyone leaves the apartment building heading to the bank where Deaton was held captive a while ago.
"Okay, thanks Memi. I'll see you today won't I? I miss you." Lydia asks ready to meet the Stilinski boy at school.
"Yes, Lyds. You'll see me today. Be careful alright?" Miah says hanging up the phone call.
Isaac gets into her car in the passenger side and the four of them set off towards the abandoned bank looking for clues and where Jennifer possibly might be.
Unaware of the trap they're being lead into by Chris Argent himself.
Miah, Allison, Isaac and Argent all walk into the bank vault, Miah frowns sensing something off with the whole vault room, "It's empty." Allison says frowning.
"Be careful anyway." Argent states turning on the taser wand earning confused glances between Miah and Isaac.
"I thought you only used those on werewolves." Isaac says.
"I do." Argent states shocking Isaac and Miah sending them both to the floor weak due to the sudden electricity spiking through their systems.
Allison gasps shocked seeing her father handcuffing her to the nearby pole, "What the hell are you doing?" Allison asks.
"I'm sorry. But you're just gonna have to trust me on this." Argent states looking at Allison.
Turning towards the entrance and dropping his gun on the vault floor, "I knew for a long time she didn't just operate on the currents. She was in sync with them." Argent explains to the teenagers watching him looking at the entrance way seeing the woman entering smirking at them.
"Now this is a sacrifice." Jennifer states turning into her darach form and capturing Argent to go along with her plans to sacrifice the parents.
✹
STILES ARRIVES at the Martin's household once Lydia messages him stating she needs a ride to school and to talk to someone and be updated on everything that's happening.
Once the boy arrives at the house, he tells her about how Scott is with the alpha pack and that Miah nearly had to go with them if it wasn't for the McCall boy putting a stop to it.
"I don't believe it. Scott can't really be with them, he can't be. He wouldn't betray Miah like that." Lydia states mumbling the last part but Stiles's still manages to hear it.
"You didn't see the look on his face, though. It was..." Stiles says, "Then, what can I do?" Lydia asks, Stiles looks at her confused.
"I mean. I get that Miah and I are some kind of, like, human geiger-counter for death, but, I don't know how to turn it on and off yet. I don't think Miah does either. All I know is that she tried to kill us because of..." Lydia explains before trailing off quietly realising something.
"Because of what?" Stiles asks frowning, "Hey, Lydia. What?" Stiles asks seeing the strawberry blondes eyebrows raise.
"When she called me and Miah a banshee and the fairy of destruction and chaos. She was surprised by it. What if that's not why she tried to kill us?" Lydia states.
"Then why did she?" Stiles asks looking at his childhood crush, "That's what we need to find out." Lydia states.
✹
MIAH HUGS herself in the corner while Isaac tries to break Allison out of the handcuffs that are currently locking her to the pole inside the vault.
The teenage boy eventually breaks the steel letting the brunette free, "Why did he do that?" Allison asks quietly.
"I don't know. We need to go, okay? We need help." Isaac says softly looking at the brunette and blonde who's still sitting behind him quietly healing due to the sudden electric shock in her system.
Allison anxiously grabs ahold of Isaac's hand, "Allison. Allison, we have to go. Come on Miah." Isaac states.
"They're all gonna die, aren't they?" Allison asks heartbroken and scared of losing her father.
While Miah stares at the vault's ground not listening to anything the two of them are saying.
Isaac sighs before wrapping his arms around the fragile girl comforting her after seeing her father being taken by the darach, ready to be sacrificed.
"Come on." Isaac says nodding towards the gazing Miah.
Allison frowns leaning down and breaking the blonde mage hybrid out of the staring contest she was having with the cement ground.
"Moon?" Allison softly says making Miah look up, Allison and Isaac see the spark of fire flash across her eyes before she gets up with the help of Allison from the vault's floor.
"We've got to tell Stiles." Isaac explains pulling out his phone and messaging the Stilinski boy to update him while Allison makes sure Miah is doing okay.
"You sure you're okay, Moon?" Allison asks, Miah nods and smiles softly at the brunette as the three of them leaving the abandoned bank.
✹
AFTER RECEIVING a phone call from Lydia about Stiles having a panic attack.
Lydia asks for the blonde girl to meet them in Morrell's office to go over some things.
Walking into the office after running into the school she sees Stiles going through the woman's office desk getting certain files out to the drawers.
"What the hell are you doing?" Miah asks making herself known and standing beside her cousin who smiles at her pleased to see her.
"That one's yours." Stiles states handing the strawberry blonde her file.
"Let me see that." Lydia says gently snatching the file out of the boys hands flipping open the pages.
"Wait, Lydia. That's your drawing." Stiles states seeing the drawing of the tree Lydia always draws in class.
"Yeah. I know. It's a tree." Lydia says confused, "Yeah. It's good, too." Danielle states looking at the drawing.
Lydia looks at her, "Thank you." Lydia says.
"No. But that's the same one, though. Look Miah, it's the same for yours." Stiles states before looking through one of the other files seeing Miah's name on one of them.
"What the fuck? I don't even see Ms Morrell." Miah states seeing her drawing is also in a folder.
"Same as what?" Lydia asks still confused on what Stiles's is on about.
"The same one I always see you both drawing in class." Stiles states, "It's a tree. I like drawing trees. Miah likes drawing wolves that look like demons?" Lydia shrugs.
"No. But it's the exact same one. Don't you see?" Stiles says holding two of the pieces of paper beside each other, same goes for Miah's.
"Give me your bag." Stiles gently asks grabbing Lydia's bag and going through to one of the pages where the tree is also drawn as Miah looks at the drawings wide eyed and confused.
"There. See?" Stiles says flipping through pages on pages of the same drawings by the two Martin girls.
Miah and Lydia look at the drawings scared that they've never figured that out before.
"Okay. You can have my session. You both got bigger issues." Danielle states appalled getting her bag from beside the chair and walking out of the office.
"What is this?" Lydia asks panicked alongside Miah, both of them gasp horrified by the new discovery.
Stiles stops on one of the last pages and flips the book upside down to see tree roots instead of a tree, quickly coming to realisation.
"I know where they are. It's the Nemeton. That's where she's keeping them. It has to be." Stiles explains as the three leave the office discussing things.
"Stilinski!" a man calls out from the hallway, "All right, look. Go to Derek, okay? He, Miah and Peter. They've been there before, so they'll know where it is. Tell them it's the root cellar, all right? They'll know." Stiles explains.
Lydia looks beside her to Miah, "I'm sorry I don't know. I think my memory blocked out the whole destination of the Nemeton due to having gone through something traumatic at the age of ten." Miah explains but walks towards the exit.
"Derek and Peter might know though. Come on, I wanna check on Cora anyways." Miah explains as the two Martin's leave the school and drive towards Derek's loft.
Lydia and Miah soon pull into the parking lot of Derek's loft, "You go right up. I'll come up in a second. I'm just going to call Deaton really quickly." Miah explains dialing the man's number so he can go and get Stiles.
Who is probably being questioned by that FBI agent, not long after the blonde girl pressed call.
The veterinarian answered, "Hello?" Deaton says politely.
"Hello, Deaton. It's Miah. I was calling to ask you about possibly going to get Stiles from school as he keeps being questioned by the police about his father's disappearance." Miah explains over the phone.
"I'll go and get him now. Thanks Miah for the heads up." Deaton responds with before both of them say polite farewells and go do their own things.
Miah walks up the stairs to Derek's loft seeing the sliding door left open for the blonde girl to enter.
Derek waves politely seeing his sister figure enter and make her way straight over to the worsening Cora on his bed.
"You don't know where it is? But Stiles said you'd been there." Lydia exasperatedly says.
"We have." Peter confirms looking over at the blonde mage hybrid wiping Cora's forehead with the cloth before walking towards the group.
"But, after a few memorable experiences there. Talia, Derek's mother, and my older sister. Decided that she didn't ever want us going back. She knew how dangerous it was and took the memory of it's location from us. Including Miah." Peter states looking over at Miah who's looking at him surprised now understanding why she doesn't have any memory of the nemeton's destination.
"But then, how are we supposed to find it?" Lydia asks, Peter shrugs looking at Derek and Miah standing beside each other.
Lydia looks behind her to see Miah looking at Derek, "Whatever you have planned. Please be safe. I can't lose you as well." Miah states.
Derek frowns and lets the blonde girl hug him before Lydia and her leave the loft leaving the two Hale's to get back their plans of saving Cora.
"We've got to go to Deaton's." Lydia explains once Miah gets in the car once again showing the blonde girl the message Stiles sent her a few minutes ago.
Letting the two Martin girls know that himself, Allison and Isaac are all at the clinic with Deaton planning together to figure out how to get to the nemeton and save their parents.
Arriving at the animal clinic, Miah and Lydia walk inside and nod at Stiles and the others to explain to them what the plan is.
Miah smiles at Deaton as a thank you for going and helping Stiles out of the situation with the FBI agent and he shrugs silently telling the mage hybrid it's no big deal.
"It has to be on a telluric current, or maybe even at the axis of two, or where they all intersect, I just know it's where Derek took Paige to die" Stiles explains leaning against the examination table.
"My dad and Gerard were there, once. But Gerard said it was years ago and he couldn't remember where it was. And, my dad obviously isn't here to tell us now." Allison explains.
"Yeah. Mine either." Stiles says, "Then how do we find this place?" Isaac asks from beside Miah, all five teenagers look at Deaton.
"There might be a way. But it's dangerous," Deaton explains before looking at the five teenagers.
"We're gonna need Scott." Deaton states looking from Stiles to Miah who looks around shocked.
Eventually, Stiles and Miah both get ahold of Scott and agree to meet him at the preserve alongside Deaton.
"How'd you guys find out?" Scott asks walking towards the three leaning against Stiles's jeep.
Stiles and Deaton walk towards the boy, Miah stays behind not noticing the look of hurt on Scott's face, "Lydia and Miah. You?" Stiles asks looking at his best friend.
"Morrell. None of the other alphas know where it is, either." Scott explains looking at the jeep where the blonde girl is leaned against.
"So, if this works. Are you gonna tell them?" Stiles asks, "I can't stop Jennifer without them." Scott sighs hearing Miah scoff from behind Deaton and Stiles not amused.
"How about we concentrate on finding your parents first?" Deaton states as Miah comes forward.
"I agree with Deaton." Miah states avoiding eye contact with Scott, "What's the plan?" Scott asks looking at the three.
"Essentially. You, Allison, and Stiles need to be surrogate sacrifices for your parents." Deaton explains, Miah folds her arms over her chest.
"We die for them?" Scott asks stunned at the suggestion, "But he can bring us back. Along with Miah." Stiles states before looking at both Miah and Deaton anxiously.
"You two can bring us back, right?" Stiles asks once again.
"You remember the part where I said it was dangerous? If it goes right. The three of you will be dead for a few seconds. But, there's something else you need to think about. This is a dangerous ritual for more reasons than one. You'll be giving power back to the Nemeton─ a place that hasn't had power for a long time. This kind of power is like a magnet, it attracts the supernatural. The kind of things that a family like the Argents can fill a bestiary with. It will draw them here. Like a beacon." Deaton explains while Miah looks at Stiles.
Miah still avoiding eye contact with Scott in front of her, "Doesn't sound worse than anything we've already seen." Stiles says shrugging as Miah looks at him shocked.
"You'd be surprised at what you have yet to see." Deaton states as Miah sighs, "Is that it?" Scott asks.
"No. It'll also have an effect on the three of you. You won't be able to see it. But you'll feel it, every day, for the rest of your lives. It'll be a kind of darkness around your heart and permanent. Like a scar." Miah explains knowing the ritual herself and Deaton will perform on the three teenagers.
Miah looks at Deaton silently asking if she was right and if he needs to add anything, is which he nods and looks back at Scott.
"Like a tattoo." Scott states remembering the saying about the whole tattoo situation a few months ago.
He looks at Miah who quickly looks away clenching her jaw in anger at the McCall boy.
Deaton, Miah, Scott and Stiles all meet one another at the animal clinic ready to begin the ritual.
Lydia, Isaac, Deaton and Miah put the ice in the bathtubs kind of like they did months ago when they wanted Isaac to remember what happened to him with the alphas.
"All right. What did you bring?" Deaton asks, Miah stands back preparing herself for the ritual.
She remembers telling Stiles and Allison that they will something meaningful to them and their parents for the next part of work.
Deaton was the one who explained it all to Scott since the blonde girl isn't speaking or looking at him at the moment.
"Um. I got my dad's badge. Jennifer kind of crushed it in her hand. So I tried hammering it out a little bit. Still doesn't look right." Stiles explains showing the badge belonging to his father.
"Well, it doesn't have to look good if it has meaning." Deaton confirms again.
Isaac looks down seeing Allison holding onto her object, "Is that an actual silver bullet?" Isaac asks shocked.
"My dad made it. It's kind of a ceremonial thing. When one of us finishes learning all the skills to be a hunter. We forge a silver bullet as a testament to the code." Allison explains.
Miah smiles at her softly, "Scott?" Deaton asks noticing the boy looking at his object in his hand.
"My dad got my mom this watch when she first got hired at the hospital. She used to say it was the only thing in their marriage that ever worked." Scott explains.
"Okay. The three of you will get in. Each of us will hold you under until you're essentially well, dead. Miah will also use her chaos magic around the bathtubs. Which you can see now," Deaton explains motioning to the soft purple and red glow around the water.
Miah nods ready to hold someone down, "But, it's not just someone to hold you under. It needs to be someone who can pull you back. Someone with a strong connection to you. A kind of emotional tether." Deaton explains.
Lydia and Allison smile softly at one another, "Lydia. You go with Stiles." Deaton states.
Miah softly laughs under her breath knowing the man knows about Stiles's crush on her cousin.
"Are you sure? I mean, Scott and I both have to go under." Allison says nervously knowing that Isaac will have to hold her under.
Before looking at Scott who's looking at her with a heartbroken expression on his face.
"It's okay." Scott states nodding at his ex girlfriend, Deaton notices the boys hesitation to get in the tub now, the veterinarian looks beside him seeing Miah leaning against the desk.
"Miah. You'll go with Scott." Deaton states, Miah lifts her head locking eyes with the McCall boy who's looking at her already.
Deaton nods at the both secretly knowing something about the two of them.
Miah nods and leans forwards towards the bathtub Scott walks over too.
Scott, Stiles and Allison all step into the freezing cold bathtubs of ice.
Lydia, Isaac and Miah all step behind the people they're going to hold down.
Gasps of air of heard from the room from the shivering teenagers.
"By the way. If I don't make it back and you do. You should probably know something," Stiles begins to say looking at Scott, "Your dad's in town." Stiles states.
Scott looks forward gasping as the news and the cold water on his torso.
Miah, Lydia and Isaac all step forwards holding onto Scott, Stiles and Allison's shoulder beginning to push them down into the tub.
Scott looks up at the mage hybrid who's softly smiling at him like a goddess.
"You've got this Scotty-boy." Miah mumbles pushing him under the water as the others go under as well taking deep inhales.
The three look at one another holding the others down until their hearts stop.
Miah nods at Deaton to turn the timer on so they can keep an eye on the time they're unconscious and technically dead for.
Unaware of the situation happening at Derek's loft where the man himself is sacrificing his alpha abilities to save his little sister's life due to the illness Jennifer gave her.
