CHAPTER TWENTY:
WHERE WE COME ALIVE
▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃

Pain is the only thing Elena felt since she has been captured by the Dread Doctors. They had replaced the chains around her hands with manacles that had sharp pins piercing through her skin. They switched back and forth torturing both girls with both of them watching as the other one lied there helplessly.

She was poked and prodded with needles, injecting the same red substance from last time, making her feel the same magic flowing through her veins. However, each time they did so, she could feel herself getting even more powerful than before.

The girl lied her head against the wall behind her, her eyes closing as Hayden lies her head on the huntress's shoulder, both of them exhausted after what the Dread Doctors had done to them. And in that moment, even if it was selfish, the huntress had wished she was dead, dead like Allison.

But Elena had to remind herself every time she was lying there that the pack was going to do everything in their power to find them. However, that didn't make it any easier when the Dread Doctors were just turning them into weapons for their stupid experiment.

The girls quickly open their eyes when they hear the all too familiar mechanical sound, the Dread Doctors walk towards the two and harshly grabs the Calavera girl's arm. Hayden pleads for them to stop, tears falling from her eyes as she begs. But of course they don't listen, they simply leave not saying a word.

The Dread Doctors place Elena onto the metal table, chaining her arms and feet down before removing the manacles around her hands. The Calavera girl's eyes immediately widen when she watches the holes from the pins beginning to heal. Once she was finally strapped down, the Dread Doctors turn to their tools and pull out a a beautiful yellow stone.

They slowly place it onto the girl's forehead, causing the girl's body to immediately respond. Her head leans back into the table as her eyes illuminate the color red. The Dread Doctors watch her hand's glow the same color, knowing their experiment had worked, the Scarlet Witch was finally alive. They take the stone of the girl's head, placing it back into the container while the Calavera girl immediately passes out. However, the girl's memory begins to return.

Elena was five years old. Her night gown almost covering her entire body as she made her way throughout the house. A voice catching the young girl's attention which caused her to go check it out. She saw her mother standing there, talking with what looks to be like one of the Dread Doctors.

The Calavera girl hasn't seen her mother for at least twelve years after the divorce between her and her father. Araya always said it was her mother's fault, constantly saying terrible things about her to Elena, Marcos, and Adriana. But, they were never told the real reason on why she had left. So they just assumed she had an affair or something.

Younger Elena drops her stuffed animal, making her mother's head instantly snap over to her, "What are you doing out of bed?" The older Calavera woman quietly shouts, walking over towards her daughter and kneeling down to be eye to eye with her.

Her mom harshly grabs hold of girl's hand, dragging her back towards her room. As they were walking away, the younger girl turns her head back towards the living room, the person her mother was talking to being nowhere in sight.

Rosanna places her daughter back into bed, tucking her in and giving her medicine that she always took. It was a red liquid that she would take twice a day, once in the morning and then the second in the afternoon. It was sort of a ritual for the girl, however, it suddenly stopped once her mother was gone.

Elena scrunches her eyebrows together after taking the liquid while sticking her tongue out to show her mother it was gone. "Good girl," Rosanna praises, reaching over to her nightstand and getting ready to turn off the light.

However, her daughter stops her, "Who was that?" She questions, motioning towards the living room with her hand.

Rosanna runs her hand through her daughter's hair, a sigh escaping her mouth as she admires the younger girl's features. "Someday when you're older, you'll know everything. But for now, just know that mommy loves you, okay?"

Elena softly smiles, nodding her head before her mom leans down to kiss the top of her head. The younger Calavera girl covers herself up with her blankets, trying to go back to sleep while her mother exits the room. However, little did the huntress know that the Dread Doctors had been injecting her with the same serum her mother used to give her.

Finally piecing the puzzle together, Elena realized that it was her mother who allowed for this to happen. Rosanna Calavera forced these hidden abilities upon her and worked with the Dread Doctors to turn her into this abomination.

▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃

Meanwhile, Adriana Calavera rushes into Scott's house, desperation and determination written all over her face while she walks past Liam, Brett, Lori, Stiles, and Theo. "Hey, are you okay?" The Stilinski boy asks, getting no response as the alpha makes her way up the stairs.

"Adriana?" The Raeken boy calls out, causing the group to furrow their eyebrows as they watch the alpha storm by.

The Calavera girl heads up towards the McCall boy's room, listening to Corey apologize, "Sorry, I'm only on chapter two. I'm kind of a slow reader." He tells Mason, Lydia, Scott, and Marcos who smile sadly at his response.

"Oh, that's okay, Corey," The Hewitt boy reassures him while the alpha enters the room.

"He's right. We don't have time for that anyway," Adriana mumble, walking directly towards Corey who was sitting on his bed.

"No, Adriana! Don't!" Lydia pleads, however, she is too late. The alpha shoves her claws into the back of Corey's neck, trying to gain information on where the two missing girl's were. A gasp escapes Corey's mouth as Adriana's eyes glow red.

Stiles, Liam, Theo, Malia, Lori, and Brett all rush into the room, their eyes immediately falling on the alpha and Corey, "Don't get too close." Lydia instructs, making them all crowd around at a distance.

Theo furrows his brows while everyone else watches the Calavera girl closely, "What is she doing?" The Raeken boy asks, staring at the two in front of him.

"Tapping into Corey's memories," The banshee answers, her eyes glued to the scene as well. "It's usually something only Alpha's do.

The Raeken boy steps closer, inspecting Adriana and Corey before asking, "Is it as dangerous as it looks?"

"Probably more," Stiles answers, earning nods in agreement from the rest of the group besides Mason.

"Does anyone know if it's working?" Mason asks, causing everyone to slowly shake their heads from left to right. As if on cue, Adriana pulls her hand back, gasping for air as she stumbles backwards.

Stiles catches the alpha while Lydia catches Corey, "Is he okay?" The Calavera girl asks, referring to the boy who just had claws in the back of his head.

"What the hell did you do to me?" Corey shouts, putting his hand on the back of his neck to feel the spot where the alpha had put his claws.

Adriana looks at the Bryant boy, "You'll be alright." She tells him, her sister being her only priority at the moment.

"There's blood," Corey mumbles, holding his hand in his face as he stares down at the red substance.

"You'll heal," The Calavera girl tells him, earning concern looks from the pack.

The Stilinski boy reaches his hand out to help the alpha, "Adriana."

"He'll be fine!" She yells, catching everyone's attention as she bends down to pick up a pen and paper. "Listen, I think it worked. I saw something. There were tunnels. Pipes along the walls. There were these huge blue pipes at the entrance. Two on both sides." She explains, drawing what she saw while Stiles, Brett, Marcos, and Scott look down at the sheet of paper.

"Wait a second. I know this. I've seen this before. That's one of the tunnels I used to skateboard in. Remember my dad caught me one time and told me to never go back?" Stiles announces, earning looks amongst the pack.

Lydia furrows her brows before mumbling, "It's the water treatment plant."

"That's where they are. That's where we'll find Elena and Hayden," Adriana says, causing everyone to smile in hopes that they would get the two girl's back home safely.

After the words left the Calavera girl's mouth, she rushes out of the room and downstairs with Brett, Marcos, Lori, and Scott not too far behind, "Guys. Guys, slow down. Just think for a second, okay? Marcos shouldn't be going." Stiles pleads, trying to keep up with the five teenagers with everyone else behind him.

"Elena's my sister, I'm going." Marcos answers, turning around to face the human boy as the entire pack comes to a stop. Scott, Adriana, Lori, Marcos, Brett, and Malia on one side while Lydia, Corey, Theo, Liam, Stiles, and Mason stood on the other.

The Stilinski boy throws his hands in the air before sarcastically replying, "Oh, did you suddenly get super wolf powers? I wasn't aware of that development."

Marcos rolls his eyes, and takes out the gun he was holstering in his pants. "Pretty sure I don't need wolf powers." He replies before putting it back and earning a proud smile from his older sister.

"And, if you're not going, We could use the help," Scott tells his best friend, motioning to the rest of the group and making Adriana nod in agreement.

A sigh escapes Stiles mouth, "No, I'm coming just as soon as I talk to my dad. They're moving the body and he wants to make sure that this time no one steals it."

"How's he gonna do that?" Malia asks, skepticism lacing in her voice as she spoke.

The Stilinski boy shrugs, "I don't know, but whoever took the last one was strong enough to flip my Jeep."

The werecoyote glances at Adriana before looking back towards the others, "We can bring Theo." She announces, pointing over at the Raeken boy who instantly looks over at Scott.

"Maybe I better stay here. You know, in case the Doctors decide to make a house call for Corey," Theo tells them, looking back at the boy who stood there with fear written all over his face.

"Guys, Stiles is right. We need to slow down and think," Lydia pleads, trying to get the group to stay in and think of a plan before heading off.

Adriana shakes her head, looking at the banshee as she spoke, "I am thinking, about how my sister and Hayden could already be dead." She says, earning concerning looks from Theo, Liam, Marcos, and Brett who were praying that wasn't true.

"You could've hurt him, Adriana. Really hurt him," The banshee informs the alpha who looks at Corey while everyone else stares at her.

The Calavera girl sighs as she divert her gaze from the Bryant boy and back to Lydia, "My only priority right now is my sister. I'll apologize when I get her back safe and sound, but until then I won't let anything stand in my way when I'm trying to find her. And if that includes any of you, then so be it." She tells them, looking at each and every one of them as she spoke before exiting the room with Brett, Malia, Lori, Scott, and Marcos not too far behind.

▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃

Elena's eyes shoot open when she feels someone shake her awake. Her scared demeanor immediately changing when she realizes it's just Hayden. The huntress slowly looks around, not recognizing the room they were in now. "Where are we?" The Calavera girl questions, looking at the Romero girl whens she spoke.

"I don't know," Hayden mumbles, standing up and holding onto her stomach while she walks over towards the gate that held them in.

A voice speaks up from the back of the room instantly catching the two girl's attention, "I wouldn't touch that if I were you."

Elena instantly snaps her head around to the voice, her eyes landing on a boy around their age who was sitting in the corner, "Who are you?" She questions, causing the boy to move into the light for the girl's to see him.

"My name's Zach. And I think the better question is what am I?" He says as Hayden moves to sit down next to Elena. "It's okay. I'm just like you guys. One of the experiments," He reassures them, causing the huntress to offer him a sad smile. "Hey, maybe you could help me with something. The guys, in the masks, they took something off my back. I don't know what it was, but I can feel part of it still there."

"You want us to look?" Elena asks, catching Zach by surprise.

"Is that okay?" He questions back, earning a nod from the Calavera girl. Zach turns around, lifting his shirt up slowly to reveal two stumps on his back that quickly flapped when both girls laid eyes on them. Hayden's eyes widen as she stares at the site in front of her while Elena swallows the lump in the back of her throat. "Well?" Zach says after not getting a response from the girls right away.

The huntress sighs, "They almost look like wings." She honestly tells him, making the boy slowly nod as he puts his shirt back down.

Hayden stands back up, moving towards the fence, slowly putting her finger up towards it, making her see the electricity radiating off of it. She winces when her finger grazes the gate, earning a laugh from Zach, "We're not getting out of here."

Elena rolls her eyes as the Romero girl sits back down beside her before she says, "You could be a little optimistic."

"It's kinda hard when you watch three people get dragged out of here screaming," Zach informs the two girls, catching their attention as they look at one another.

"What happened to them?" Elena questions, wondering if they were all going to have the same fate as the three people the boy was talking about.

Zach sighs, looking at the ground before moving his eyes onto the Calavera girl, "They were failures. That's all they said. First, you forget. You don't know who you are or what you're doing. Then you get violent. I watched two of them almost kill each other. One of them had a nasty looking cut just like that." He motions towards Hayden, causing Elena to glance down at the Romero girl's side. Hayden tries her best to cover it, "Don't worry. Black is okay. It's only really over when you start bleeding other stuff. When it starts turning silver."

"Mercury," Elena mumbles, knowing what the boy was talking about.

Zach nods at the girl's comment, "That's when they know you're really a failure."

The Calavera girl furrows her eyebrows, looking at the boy as she asks, "How many more failures are there supposed to be?"

Zach shrugs, "Who knows. But doesn't it make you wonder what the success is going to look like? I mean, what are we turning into? Something with claws and fangs?"

"Something with wings?" Elena shoots back, causing the group to fall silent.

Hayden sighs before finally speaking up, "Something worse."

The three fall into a comfortable silence, Hayden and Elena sitting next to each other as they lean up against a wall while Zach sits across from them. The huntress slowly sits up, her attention drawn to a familiar mechanical sound.

"They're coming," Zach announces, catching both girl's attention as they watch his nose leak mercury. "Oh, god!" He exclaims, just as one of the Dread Doctors appears in front of the gate. "No, no, no, no," Zach shouts, scooting away from the entrance as the Dread Doctor is somehow able to get in.

"Leave him alone!" Elena pleads, trying to stand on her feet to help the boy. However, her body is still too weak and exhausted that it just doesn't let her.

The Dread Doctor picks Zach up from his shirt, dragging him out of the room, "Help me!" He begs the two girls, putting his hand out for one of them to grab on. But despite the huntress's best efforts, she can't reach him. Her eyes tear up as her mouth hangs open, watching Zach and the Dread Doctor disappear. The Calavera girl felt completely useless in this very moment, closing her eyes as they listen to Zach's voice shouting in the distance.

▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃

Malia, Scott, Marcos, Brett, Adriana, and Lori all arrive at the water treatment plant. They quickly rush in, following the alpha's down a few stairs before ending up at the bottom. "Elena!" The werecoyote shouts, standing on the opposite end of the rest of the group.

"Can any of you catch a scent?" Marcos asks, his eyes looking at his older sister and Scott.

They both shake their heads before the McCall boy speaks up, "There's too many chemicals." He explains, earning a frustrated sigh from the Calavera boy's mouth.

"Then this might take a while," Marcos mumbles before the group quickly rushes off to search the tunnels. Scott, Adriana, and Brett search one side while Malia, Lori, and Marcos search the other. A mixture of Elena and Hayden's name being shouted over and over again.

Scott begins to turn a corner, running into Adriana as he does so, "Anything?"

The oldest Calavera shakes her head, "Nothing."

The two begin to walk off before hearing, "Elena!"

They quickly turn their heads to see Brett running down the same tunnel the McCall boy had just came from. "Okay, we need to make sure that we're not covering the same area." Scott tells them, causing Adriana to nod before reaching to grab her phone to inform the others.

The McCall boy begins to pant, catching the Talbot boy's attention almost immediately, "You need your inhaler, don't you?"

Scott turns his head to look at the other werewolf before hearing something in the distance, "Quiet. I think I hear something." He says, diverting his attention towards the end of the tunnel as both of the other werewolves try and focus their hearing.

"It's just the lights, isn't it?" Adriana asks, making the other alpha close his eyes as he hears it again.

A sigh escapes Scott's mouth, "Come on. This way." He announces, rushing off towards the sound he had previously heard.

Brett turns to look at Adriana whose face had shown how scared she was. "She's going to be okay," He tells her, putting his hand on the girl's shoulder in an attempt to comfort her. The oldest Calavera smiles sadly as she looks at the werewolf beside her. The Talbot boy returns the action and takes his hand back. "Now, let's go find your sister." He says, earning a nod from Adriana before the two quickly follow after Scott.

The groups have been searching the tunnels for what feels like forever, coming up empty handed each time. Brett stops to wait up for the alpha's before turning to face them, "I'm telling you guys, we've been down this one before."

"What the hell are we doing? We're running up and down this place. Up and down tunnels. And there's no way, there's no way that we're gonna find-." The McCall boy tries to finish his sentence, however, his breathing ends up taking over.

"Scott, you need your inhaler," Adriana tells him, earning a head shake from the alpha as he still continues to pant. "Scott, use it. Use your inhaler."

Scott falls to his knees, wheezing uncontrollably before reaching into his jacket pocket to pull his inhaler out. Adriana and Brett look at one another, concern forming in their eyes before looking back at the alpha as he uses it. The McCall boy's breathing slowly returns to normal, earning a sigh of relief from Adriana that he was okay. "This is all my fault. We're never going to find them. It's my fault," He mumbles, catching both werewolves attention.

Adriana extends her hand towards the other alpha, "Scott." The McCall boy looks at the gesture, deciding if he should accept it or not. However, when he looks at the Calavera girl in the eyes, he has his answer and takes her hand which pulls hims to his feet, "We should keep looking. We should keep trying." Scott looks at Brett who gives him a nod in agreement towards Adriana statement. The McCall boy smiles softly at the two before walking off with Brett and Adriana not too far behind.

▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃

Lydia slowly retracts the towel she had pressing against Corey's neck, "It healed, didn't it?" He asks, earning a sigh from the banshee as she turns towards Theo to answer.

"Yeah, completely," He tells him, making Corey instantly stand up and face the two older teenagers.

"Okay, then. It's been fun. Especially the part where a werewolf forced her way into my brain with her claws." The Bryant boy sarcastically states, heading towards the front door once he was done speaking.

Theo quickly rushes after him, "I don't think leaving is such a good idea, Corey." He begins, causing the Bryant boy to slowly turn around to face him. "You know, Lydia's a banshee. It means she can tell when someone's close to death." The Raeken boy turns his head towards the strawberry blonde, "Lydia, what happens if he walks out that door?"

"It's bad. Very bad," Lydia tells the boy, making her way from behind the couch and next to the Raeken boy.

Corey scoffs, looking between the both of them, "I'll take my chances."

"Then give us a better chance at finding Elena," Theo says, earning furrowed eyebrows from Lydia which causes him to clear his throat. "I mean our friends. What else did you see?" He asks, quickly changing the topic. The Bryant boy doesn't answer, making the Raeken boy raise his voice, "Come on, Corey, there had to be something else."

"There was the hospital and they took me out of my room," Corey begins, making the banshee speak up.

"And then where?" She questions, moving from behind Theo to stand next to him.

"The tunnels. Like I already told you. That's it," The Bryant boy announces, looking at Theo as he spoke.

A frustrated sigh escapes the Raeken boy's mouth, "Yeah, nothing after that?"

"No," He firmly answers, reaching for the door handle to leave the McCall home.

"Well, there has to be more. Think. Corey, for just one minute, just think," Theo pleads, making the Bryant boy sigh as he begins to do what he was told.

He slowly furrows his eyebrows, catching Lydia and Theo's attention as he lifts his head to look at them, "There was a basement."

"Where? Like in a building?" The banshee asks, her tone full of curiosity to learn more.

"A house," Corey corrects, glancing at the Martin girl before putting his attention towards the ground. "It was old, covered in dust, and there was a broken stone wall with a large hole in it. Like a bomb went off."

"Lydia, the werewolf with the talons. The one who attacked Scott. Didn't Adriana and Parrish say that he smashed through the wall of a basement? Wasn't it something like that?" Theo asks, trying to remember what the deputy and alpha had told them.

"No," She pauses before looking at the Raeken boy, "It was exactly that."

▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃

Elena sits up against the wall with Hayden next to her, her mind still thinking back to Zach as he pleaded for help. However, snapping the girl out of her thoughts is a familiar sound from outside the gate. "They're coming back," She whispers towards Hayden, causing both of them to carefully stand up. The Romero girl groans in pain, clutching her side as the huntress stands in front of her.

The two watch as a figure slowly approaches the gate, "Elena? Hayden?" A familiar voice asks, making the Calavera girl smile softly as she recognizes who it was. Theo runs up towards the gate, earning wide eyes from the huntress.

"Theo, wait, don't!" She tells him, however, she is too late and the boy is electrocuted, sending him flying back. Elena makes her way closer towards the fence, trying to check and see if he was okay. "Theo? Theo? Theo, are you alright?" She asks as the boy slowly sits up.

"Yeah," He mumbles, closing his eyes in pain before gathering enough strength to stand, "Yeah, don't worry about me. I'm fine."

The huntress's eyes soften as she looks at the Raeken boy in the eyes, "Do you think you can get help?"

"I am the help," Theo confidently states before walking back towards the fence. "Stand back, okay?" He tells the Calavera girl, earning a nod in response as she moves back over towards Hayden.

Theo places his hands onto the gate, creating sparks of electricity to fly around the room. Hayden closes her eyes as Elena watches the Raeken boy groan in pain, his werewolf form coming out as he desperately tries to open it in which he finally does.

A sigh of relief escapes from the huntress's mouth, immediately rushing over towards Theo and hugging him. The Raeken boy's eyes widen, not used to the physical contact that was happening, especially with a girl nonetheless. He slowly wraps his arms around her waist, closing his eyes and taking the moment in.

The two stand there for a minute before Hayden finally speaks up, "I hate to ruin this moment, but I'd like to get the hell out of here."

Elena pulls away from the Raeken boy, wiping her tears as she smiles at the Romero girl's comment. "Yeah, of course." She says, her and Theo walking over towards Hayden and helping her walk out.

The Raeken boy leads the two girls out to his blue truck, him and Elena helping Hayden get in the backseat. Once she was in, he quickly opens the huntress's door, earning a small smile from her before she got in. Theo runs to the driver's side and quickly pulls out onto the street of Beacon Hills.

Theo glances at Hayden through the rear view mirror, watching intensely as she groans in pain. This catches Elena's attention and makes her snap her head back towards the Romero girl's, "Still hurts?"

Hayden nods, "Everywhere. I'm not healing. Not like it did before. That means I'm a failure, doesn't it?" She asks, earning soft eyes from the huntress as she looks at the Romero girl.

Elena takes Hayden's hand, holding it gently but firmly, "I'm not gonna let anything happen to you." She tells her, causing a small smile to appear on the Romero girl's lip.

The Calavera girl slowly retracts her hand, facing the dashboard as Theo turns his attention towards her, "How come you don't have any wounds like that?"

Elena shrugs, "The last thing I remember that they did was put some sort of yellow stone onto my forehead." She tells him, causing Theo to nervously lick his lips. However, before she can ask about it, the group pulls up to the McCall house.

Liam and Mason are waiting at the front door, immediately rushing outside when they see the truck pull in. They quickly run over and embrace the huntress, causing her to stumble back. She rubs both of the boy's heads, smiling down at them before they let go and check on Hayden.

The Dunbar boy carries the Romero girl inside after he notices she was asleep. Theo throws his arm over the Calavera girl's shoulder as they enter the house. Lydia being the next one to embrace the girl, tears spilling from her eyes as she didn't want to lose another friend.

The two girls pull away as the front door opens, the huntress's eyes soften when she see's her brother and her sister. The two of them wasting no time before engulfing her into a tight hug as tears fall from all three of them. They slowly pull away from one another, making Adriana put her hand onto her sister's cheek, "I thought I lost you." She mumbles, admiring her baby sister as she stood before her.

"You can't lose me that easily," She tells them, earning laughs from the pair before leaving her and allowing her to greet everyone else.

After Scott's hug with Theo, he turns to Elena, pulling her into one as well. "Thank you," She mumbles into his ear, knowing that the McCall boy was one of the main advocates to try and find the two girls. He pulls away from the girl slowly nodding into her direction before walking away.

Malia is next, pulling the Calavera girl into her arms. A small smile on the huntress's face as the two slowly pull away. Once Malia was done, Lori tightly wraps her arms around the girl. Lori would always refer to the huntress as the older sister she never had, so when she was taken, the Rohr girl was devastated. Elena stumbles back a little, taken back by the girl's embrace. Lori pulls away, "Sorry." She mumbles, wiping her tears away with the back of her hand, "I just really missed you." She informs her, earning a smile from the Calavera girl.

"I missed you too," She told her, earning a laugh from Lori as she heads over towards the couch with everyone else.

Elena looks to see who is next, her eyes landing on Brett. He slowly makes his way towards the huntress, his eyes scanning every inch of her body to make sure she was okay. However, before he can say anything, she wraps her arms around his neck. The boy stumbles slightly, but instantly recovers and hugs her back around her waist just as tight.

He slowly leans down, kissing the top of her head and closing his eyes when he does so. It was then that Elena knew, she knew she wanted more with the Talbot boy. She was finally willing to admit it, she wanted to be with him. However, she knew that this moment wasn't the right time for her to tell him, so she stayed quiet and enjoyed his presence.

The two slowly pull away and walk into the living room with the rest of the pack, Elena sits down on the couch with Marcos on her left and Adriana on her right. Brett stood behind her, a hand on her shoulder to let her know he was there as Lori sat on the ground in between the girl's legs. Across from the huntress is Liam and Hayden as they snuggle up to one another, smiling at the huntress.

Theo sat on a chair beside them, staring at the Calavera girl before she had looked at him. His gaze softening when he realizes she was glancing back at him. Malia, Scott, and Mason stood next to the Raeken boy also smiling towards the huntress, happy to have her back. Elena sinks back into the couch, looking amongst her friends as they began to talk. However, she tunes them out, thinking about how difficult and hard this semester has been. But in this moment, that all went away and she was finally happy, she was happy to be back home with her family.
