OVERHEARING HER father and great uncle talking in hushed whispers in the living room, Miah frowns making herself known to the two men.
"Are they back yet?" Miah wonders leaning against the wall for some minor support.
"Half an hour away." Peter responds knowing Joel is going to meet them at the animal clinic to try and figure out what's happened with the now aged backwards Derek Hale.
Miah looks at her father standing beside Peter with puppy dog eyes, "No. Absolutely not. Miah, you're still on bed rest and I don't think now is a good time to suddenly turn up and show them you're alive." Joel explains earning a angry glare from his blonde daughter.
"Scott, Lydia and the others need to know I'm alive though, Dad!" Miah shouts breaking a lightbulb above her head with the surge of power running through her.
Joel and Peter both look at the young woman shocked at the sudden outburst.
"Fuck!" Miah grunts slamming the bedroom door and slamming down on the bed leaving the two stunned men in the living room.
✹
DESPITE THE whole accident before with his daughter, Joel arrives at the animal clinic seeing the others surrounding Derek's teenage body around the table.
"Wow." Deaton voices seeing the male, "'Wow?'. Wow... as in. 'I've seen this before and I know exactly what to do'. Kind of wow?'. Cause that's the kind we were hoping for." Stiles rambles.
"I think you might be overestimating my abilities." Deaton replies smiling at the shocked male at the back entrance.
"He's cold. Really cold." Lydia explains feeling the males skin alarmed.
"Do you think this is permanent?" Scott wonders suddenly inhaling Miah's scent but shaking off the thought.
"I'm not sure a medical diagnosis is even adequate. This is well beyond my experience." Deaton explains.
"So, what do we do with him?" Stiles questions, "Until he wakes up? Probably not much. It might be best to leave him with me. He'll be safe here." Joel states looking at the others.
"You mean... from Kate?" Stiles asks, "If she's alive and she is what you say she is. She won't be able to walk past that gate." Deaton says.
"Why would she want to do this to him?" Lydia wonders, "Knowing Kate. It's probably for a reason that won't be any good for anyone but her." Joel snarls remembering the hatred he had for the Argent woman.
"And bad for everyone else." Stiles shrugs, "You guys should probably go home. He doesn't look to be in any danger. So... maybe the rest of you should get some sleep?" Deaton suggests looking at the teenagers tired faces.
"It is a school night. And you all need to start taking care of your own lives again." Joel explains.
"Someone should stay with you." Scott suggests inhaling Miah's flowery scent once more off Joel's clothes.
"I'll stay. My grades are fine. Despite missing a few classes." Lydia shrugs.
"I'm so not okay with this." Stiles voices, "Guys. Go." Lydia demands, "No." Stiles says shaking his head.
"Text us if anything happens." Scott interrupts looking at Joel and Deaton.
"Nope! Still not okay with it. Not going anywhere," Stiles shrugs before Scott rolls his eyes and grabs ahold of his clothes dragging him out of the animal clinic.
"All right. Just 'cause you're stronger." Stiles groans leaving Joel, Deaton and Lydia with Derek in his teenager form.
✹
SCOTT ARRIVES home closing the door to his house quietly seeing his father asleep on the couch.
Grunting as he knocks over the tool box sitting in the middle of the living room floor shocking his father awake.
"Scott?" Mr McCall says, "Hey. Dad, what's with the tools?" Scott wonders packing away the tool box.
"Oh. I was just, uh... getting started on a list of repairs you guys need done. What time is it?" Mr McCall wonders.
Scott looks at the clock sighing quietly moving the clock around away from his father's sight, "It's, um... midnight." Scott states.
"We were supposed to have dinner. We had a deal. When your mom has a night shift. We have dinner and now knowing about your late girlfriends passing. We need to spend some time together." Mr McCall explains softly.
"Sorry... I totally forgot about it. When we got back from the camping trip. I had to go straight to the animal clinic to finish up work." Scott explains ignoring the pang of electricity flicking through his heart at the mention of Miah.
"All right. Well... tomorrow night. Dinner." Mr McCall demands, "Great." Scott mumbles.
"Did you get anything to eat?" Mr McCall wonders, "Yeah. Mexican." Scott mutters walking upstairs to get some rest for the night.
✹
MIAH SITS at the window in Derek's loft staring out into the downtown area of Beacon Hills.
"Here's some food." Peter says walking up beside the blonde who's biting her lower lip anxiously.
"Thanks." Miah responds turning to the face her great uncle who's staring at her in concern.
"Are you okay?" Peter wonders sitting beside the blonde who shakes her head.
"I don't know. Ever since I woke up inside the morgue... I've felt this extreme electric pull inside of me. And I also have a lot more urges to protect Scott and the others." Miah explains.
Peter sighs nodding his head, "Scott is your soulmate, Miah. That's why you're so drawn to protect him. And the others are your family as well. The pull of electricity you're explaining is because you've now awoken the elemental fairy inside of you that makes you the most powerful supernatural being." Peter explains shrugging.
"I just want them to know I'm alive." Miah shrugs taking a bite out of the sandwich Peter brought her.
"They'll know tomorrow, okay? You're healing and need another nights rest. Joel and I both agreed you can see them tomorrow." Peter voices shocking the blonde.
"Why aren't you always like this? I miss this Peter." Miah gestures to the older male who chuckles.
"Power." Peter shrugs kissing Miah's forehead leaving her for the night to rest with the news of seeing her family tomorrow.
✹
THE NEXT morning, Miah wakes up smiling to herself at the thought of reuniting with her closest family and her boyfriend.
Hearing Joel's panicked breathing in the living room, "Dad? What's wrong?" Miah wonders making herself known.
"Morning sweetheart. Derek just got away from us that's all... and now none of us can find him." Joel explains seeing the flicker of worry surge through Miah.
"I can help?" Miah suggests motioning towards the map and flicking her chaos magic around her fingertips.
Joel sighs motioning for the blonde to join him on the sofa couch seeing the magic surrounding the old Hale house in the preserve before it starts moving towards the police station.
"His at the station." Miah smiles happy with the discovery of her aura working.
"Thank you. Come on... let's eat and then you can go and reunite with Lydia. Okay?" Joel suggests seeing Miah happily nod with the thought of soon being reunited with her strawberry blonde cousin.
✹
PARRISH AND Haigh one of the other deputies sit on the desk seeing the computer screen state that the teenager sitting on the chairs is Derek Hale.
"Parrish! Get over here. I ran this kid's prints eight times. This is all that comes up." Haigh states pointing at the screen, "Derek Hale?" Parrish frowns.
"Did you say Hale?" Stilinski questions looking at the young male sitting on the seats before Scott and Stiles rush into the station pursing their lips at Stiles's father.
"I'll handle this." Stilinski states looking at the two deputies.
After being led into the office belonging to Stilinski, "I want you to be honest with me. Absolutely and completely honest. Have you been time traveling?" Stilinski wonders.
"Hang on. What?" Stiles frowns, "Because if time traveling is real. You know what? I'm done. I'm out. You're going to be driving me to Eichen House." Stilinski exclaims.
"We found him like that." Scott explains, "Where? Swimming in the fountain of youth?" Stilinski hysterically asks.
"No. We found him buried in a tomb of wolfsbane in an Aztec temple in Mexico underneath a church in the middle of a town that was destroyed by an earthquake." Stiles mumbles.
"You told me you were camping!" Stilinski says flabbergasted looking at his son, "Yeah. We were... in Mexico." Stiles shrugs.
"Derek's been aged backwards. He can't remember anything." Scott explains, "We just need to talk to him." Stiles suggests.
"Yeah. Well... so far, he's not talking to anybody and we don't exactly have Miah around for help. Sorry Scott." Stilinski says.
"He'll talk to me." Scott states determined seeing the others nod at him before Parrish brings Derek into the office.
"Why would I go anywhere with you?" Derek mutters, "There was an accident. You lost some memory... but we can help you get it back." Scott explains.
"How much memory?" Derek wonders, "A lot. But you can trust us." Scott states showing Derek his red alpha eyes.
"You're an alpha. Okay, who are you? And who is he? Who are you?" Derek demands answers.
"Oh. We're the guys keeping you out of jail!" Stiles voices, "Let us help you." Scott suggests, "No." Derek denies.
"Okay. Dude... you almost two apart two deputies back there. You need to listen to us. And that starts with no fangs, no claws, no wolf-man. You got that?" Stiles snarls.
"I'm fine as long as it's not on a full moon." Derek explains, "You still have trouble with the full moon?" Scott asks confused, "I said I'm fine." Derek mutters.
"All right. You coming with us... or not?" Stiles asks, "You want me to trust you? Where's my family? Where's Miah?" Derek questions hearing the rise of Scott's heart at the name.
"There was a fire. And they're not here anymore. They're fine. Just had to move out of Beacon Hills... and we're going to take you to them. As soon as we figure out how to get your memories back and Miah's there too." Scott explains biting his lower lip at the lie, "Okay." Derek exhales.
Scott stands beside Stiles as the deputies fill out Derek's release papers, "I shouldn't have done that. I lied my ass off." Scott voices.
"Hey. Your ass is fine. You saved him a ton of unnecessary pain. We'll figure this out in a day or two. He goes back to being old Derek. Everyone's happy. Except for Derek... who's never happy." Stiles rants.
"It's just another person that we're lying to. I always feel like it's always been better when we tell the truth... with Lydia, my mom, your dad..." Scott whispers.
"Yeah. But that is Derek Hale in there. He may be a kid right now. But he's still Derek Hale." Stiles explains.
"All right. Take him to my house and don't let him out of your sight." Scott demands tapping the desk and walking away from his best friend.
"And where are you going?" Stiles wonders, "I'm going to talk to the guy we should have gone to before." Scott shrugs walking out of the door, "Uh... yeah. I hate that guy!" Stiles exclaims.
✹
MIAH WALKS out of the loft on her way to go reunite with Lydia for the first time since her death.
The blonde girl looks around feeling her magic pulling towards a gas station and standing in-front of the bathroom stall seeing the shredded body of the worker.
Miah gasps hearing a car pulling up at the gas tank, overhearing someone calling a certain name Miah knows.
"Lydia?" Kira's voice shouts walking towards the strawberry blonde who's looking inside the bathroom horrified.
"Lydia... are you okay? Lydia?" Kira wonders, "Don't look." Lydia whispers shocked.
Kira gasps seeing the blood and gore around the ripped apart body, "We should probably call the police." a voice states from beside both of them.
Lydia gasps recognising that voice anywhere, "Memi?" Lydia shrieks seeing the glowing blonde standing beside them growing emotional.
"Hey Lyds. Hey Ki-Ki." Miah mumbles grunting as both of them latch onto the blonde girl that they mourned for a few weeks.
"Surprise! But hey let's save the reunion talk for sometime when we're not standing so close to a dead body." Miah suggests seeing both girls wiping their faces and nodding.
Lydia calls the police stating what they've found.
"I'm gonna call Scott as well. So just be quiet, okay? Save that surprise for another time." Lydia suggests seeing Miah nod gulping at the body once again hearing.
"We called Stilinski. They're on their way." Lydia explains, "What does it look like? Can you send pictures?" Scott wonders.
Miah closes her eyes with a smile on her face at the sound of his voice.
"Uh... okay to be honest. I have a 4.0 in AP Biology. And there are parts of the human anatomy I have never seen before on these walls." Lydia voices gagging at the blood on her shoes.
Miah holds her hand out and takes the photos handing the strawberry blonde her phone back.
After ending the phone call with Scott, Lydia receives a text message off the male stating they're off to the high school due to Kate wanting the triskelion off Derek so she can be able to control her shifts.
"You two go. I'll stay here and wait for Stilinski. Go!" Lydia urges seeing Miah and Kira nod and rush out towards Miah's vehicle and drive towards the school.
"It's really good to see you Mims!" Kira smiles seeing the blonde girl focusing on the road.
"It's good to see you too, Ki-Ki." Miah responds with a smile.
✹
MALIA, SCOTT and Peter arrive at the high school, Malia scrunches her face is disgust inhaling a scent.
"Did you catch a scent?" Scott wonders noticing the look of disgust.
"It's the same one. The same one as Mexico." Malia explains, "What is she talking about?" Peter frowns.
"One of them came after us in the church ruins..." Scott reveals.
"And one on the road. They couldn't have followed us here." Malia interrupts.
"But they could've been brought. By Kate." Scott mutters hearing a growl coming from closer to the school.
"Oh. I've heard that sound before. Did it have an animal skull? A human wearing a skull over its face?" Peter asks showing some fear, "I think so." Malia nods.
"What are they?" Scott wonders, "Berserkers," Peter snarls making Malia scowl getting ready to attack the creature.
"Are you crazy?" Peter asks holding onto the girls jacket.
"There's just one of them." Malia says, "And that means we have a chance." Peter mumbles, "To beat him?" Malia questions.
"To survive!" Peter shouts running away from the creature coming towards them as Scott and Malia both do the same thing.
✹
OVERHEARING THE growls both Miah and Kira run into the school prepared to join the fight seeing the creature attacking both Scott and Malia.
Miah in her were-coyote form to gain more speed before transforming into human once again fully clothed.
Miah grunts sending a massive ball of chaos magic towards the Berserker knocking it off Scott and onto the ground.
Scott and Malia both look over noticing the two joined in on the fight.
Scott gasps seeing the girl he held while she died smiling darkly at the Berserkers.
"Come and get me." Miah snarls sending another ball of magic at the creature along with some of the electricity coming from her new powers.
Kira is knocked off her feet standing a little close to the creature knocking her on the ground with a clatter.
The Berserker growls setting its sights on the blonde smirking at it seeing young Derek running at it from the other direction both fighting off the Berserker.
A sudden howl is heard in the distance making the boned creature retreat away from the teenagers and a newly transformed older Derek standing beside Miah with golden eyes.
Miah gasps seeing the golden colour before latching herself into the males arms.
"Star. Oh my god!" Derek grunts before smiling at the blonde who looks at him before turning towards her childhood best friend and the male she loves.
Malia chuckles tearfully hugging her before limping off to stand beside Kira who's smiling at Scott's shocked face.
"Mi?" Scott whispers scared to blink incase she disappears.
"Hey baby." Miah smiles standing before him, "You're... you're alive." Scott mumbles staring at her in awe.
"I'm alive." Miah laughs seeing Scott nod and lunge at her bringing her into a tight embrace and never wanting to let her go.
"I love you too." Scott whispers into her hair hearing Miah giggle at the last thing she said before she died in his arms.
Miah looks up at the male immediately making their lips connect in a happy sloppy kiss with tears streaming down both of their faces.
"God. I missed you." Scott states hugging her once again, "I missed you too, Scotty." Miah says into the males chest.
Scott leans into the blonde's hair more inhaling her sweet scent and sighing in relief rubbing soothing circles onto her back.
"Is everyone okay?" Miah asks breaking the hug after twenty minutes of them standing close together, receiving nods from everyone standing near them smiling.
Lydia smiles looking at Stiles who's confused at the smile, "What? I'm happy too. Like Peter was robbed but why the huge smile?" Stiles frowns not realising the figure sneaking up behind him.
"Miss me?" Miah chuckles earning a soft chuckle from the male, "Miah?" Stiles gasps stunned at the blonde being alive, "You're here. I didn't hurt you?" Stiles trembles.
"You could never hurt me Stiles." Miah confirms bringing her best friend into a much needed hug between them hearing Stiles's sobs knowing he didn't get Miah killed.
"I'm here and I'm not going anywhere." Miah nods smiling at the boy before hugging her cousin tightly missing the opportunity on doing so earlier due to the whole body incident.
Joel smiles standing in the carpark seeing the smiles and laughing faces of the teens returning to the carpark together more so Scott and Miah not letting each other go.
"Hey Dad." Miah waves motioning to her boyfriend, "Go on. Be safe." Joel nods encouraging his daughter to go with her boyfriend for the night.
Miah shrieks happily kissing her father on the cheek before getting on the back of Scott's motorcycle snuggling her head into his back and finally feeling like she's home and safe.
