𝐀𝐔𝐑𝐎𝐑𝐀 𝐖𝐀𝐒 𝐑𝐔𝐍𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐋𝐀𝐓𝐄 for the rest of the try outs, having to stay late for one of her classes so that she could try and catch up on what she had missed the first few days of the semester. it wasn't much, but she did need to catch up. she was now at her locker, putting all the new textbooks that she didn't need into it as she put the ones she did need into her bag. the last few hours, her senses had been more heightened than usual, which didn't really help her focus during her classes.

the sound of a locker opening made her jump, her head snapping towards her left. she calmed down once she saw that it was just allison putting her books away. this had been the first time they had been this close together all day, even though they had some classes together and had seen each other in the halls. aurora had came to the conclusion that the huntress had ben avoiding her but really need to get to her locker in that moment. thinking about the face that allison was avoiding her really made her heart ache since they hadn't seen each other in two months.

"uh, hey." aurora greeted, making allison tense up.

aurora frowned slightly when she noticed that, watching the shorter girl slowly close her locker. was allison really avoiding her?

"hi, rora." allison hesitantly greeted, forcing a smile onto her glossed lips.

"d - did i do something? because i - i've been trying to talk to you all day and you've just been avoiding me." aurora questioned, anxiously playing with her fingers.

"no, you didn't do anything." allison sighed. "i just - it's weird that you're back. i mean - i'm glad that you're back. it's just that i'm kinda angry about -"

aurora's eyes screwed shut as she heard a bunch of lockers slam, jumping at how loud the noises were in her ears. she jumped once again when she heard the bell shrill, the hastings girl ignoring whatever allison was saying as she put her head inside her locker. voices started to fill her hears as well, adding to the many noises that she was all ready hearing. she started to breathe harder as the noises only got louder and louder, her senses dialing up to 20. she let out a whimper as she pulled her head out the locker, revealing her panicked expression. allison looked at her with furrowed eyebrows, noticing the way the taller girl was acting. the hybrid quickly put her hands up to her ears, trying to drown out the noises.

"aurora." allison worriedly said, her eyebrow stilled knitted together.

aurora's eyes flew open, showing that they were now glowing the beautiful pink color.

"rora? aurora, what's wrong?" allison quickly quizzed, looking around to make sure that no one was in the halls.

"it's too loud." aurora lowly growled, screwing her eyes shut once again.

"just - just try to calm down, okay?" allison tried.

"what do you think i'm trying to do?!" aurora snap, her voice deeper than usual as her eyes opened again.

"uh. . ." allison trailed off, trying to think of a place where she could taking aurora. "it's try outs, right? so no one should be in the locker room. right? right, okay. let's go."

the argent girl quickly grabbed onto aurora's hand, making sure that the taller girl kept her head down so no one would see her eyes. allison wanted to call stiles or scott to come help, but she knew that they wouldn't have their phones on them since they were on the field. lydia had all ready left, and malia and kira were out watching the boys. she dragged aurora through the halls, praying that the girl wouldn't wolf out before they got to the locker room. she quickly pushed the door to it opened, aurora immediately going over to where the sinks were.

the hybrid sucked in a deep breath, trying her hardest to drown out the noises. but it wasn't working, feeling her canines start to grow into fangs as well as her claws start to extend. she then tried to think of allison since she was her anchor, but it didn't work. allison stood a few feet away from her, remembering what deaton had told everyone the night prior. aurora wouldn't have control over her abilities.

"rora, just try to breathe through your nose. . ." allison tried, her voice trailing off once she heard the taller girl growl. "and out through the mouth."

aurora let out another growl, slowly turning around as she finished shifting into her werewolf form. aurora was no longer in control of her body but was watching from the passenger seat instead. allison saw this, noticing the look inside of her eyes. aurora wasn't driving the vehicle no more. . . it was another version of her that wanted to hurt allison. that wanted to kill allison.

"rora. . ." allison tried, slowly backing away.

the werewolf in front of he snarled as she took a step forward. this made allison realize that she was in actual danger. maybe she should've called kira or malia before she brought the girl down to the locker room. she watched as aurora continued to get closer and closer, making her back further and further away until her back hit a tiled wall. aurora stopped in front of her, letting out a growl as she pinned the shorter girl to the wall. allison closed her eyes, remembering when she was in this same situation with jackson.

"rora, please." allison pleaded, her voice barely above a whisper.

suddenly, the hybrid was pulled away from allison, flying to the floor. allison looked up to see that it was scott, breathing heavy as he looked down at the girl with furrowed eyebrows. allison let out a breath of relief, thankful that the boy had supernatural hearing and senses.

"what's going on? why is she attacking you?" he quizzed, not taking his eyes off of his best friend.

"she can't control her abilities." allison answered. "being back from the dead is causing it. remember what deaton said?"

"yeah." scott mumbled.

the two watched as aurora got up from the floor, a lot angrier than moments before. scott stood protectively in front of allison, watching aurora closely. the hybrid let out a loud growl before she quickly made her way over to scott, pulling her hand back so that she could slash him. he simply stepped back before he grabbed her arm, swinging her around before letting her go. aurora stumbled to the floor again. she then shot up from the floor, getting ready to attack. again.

"aurora." scott tried, watching as she started to walk closer. "aurora!" he repeated a little louder, pulling allison behind him. the hybrid continued walking towards him, holding her hands out so that she could slash the boy. scott let out a sigh, letting his eyes flash red as his canines extended. "aurora!" he yelled, his voice turning into a growl.

this seemed to have snapped aurora out of whatever trance she was in, her eyes going back to the brown chocolate orbs as she slowly shift back to normal. she blinked, her eyebrows furrowing once she saw allison and scott looking back at her with worried looks.

"did. . . did i hurt you?" aurora asked, starting to back away.

"no. no, we're okay." scott quickly told her, stepping forward.

she quickly took a step back, scared that she would lose control again. "i'm sorry, ally. i - i didn't meant to."

"it's okay, rora." allison reassured, sending her a small smile. "i'm okay. you didn't hurt us, okay?"

"i'm sorry." aurora repeated.

𝐀𝐔𝐑𝐎𝐑𝐀, 𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐋𝐄𝐒, 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐒𝐂𝐎𝐓𝐓 were at the hospital. the boys had told her everything that had happened during tryouts, including scott flipping liam over his shoulder, which hurt liam's leg. they were waiting to see if it was broken or just sprained. aurora was there just in case she wolfed out once again, scott wanting to be near her at all times so that he could calm her down like he did earlier. deaton was right, it wasn't like a few months ago. it was much worse.

"all right, i gotta get going. i promised malia i'd help her study." stiles announced, making his best friends look at him.

"sure. i want to check on him anyway." scott nodded.

"and i'm staying, just in case i try to kill someone again." aurora mumbled.

stiles nodded at the two, going to walk away before he stopped himself. "hey, i don't need to say that wasn't your fault, right?"

scott shook his head slightly. "i don't know."

"scott, if you had used any wolf power that kid wouldn't be limping, he'd be crawling, back to the other half of his body." stiles pointed out, which made aurora nod slightly.

"if i hadn't been so worried about being captain he wouldn't be hurt either." scott shot back.

aurora and stiles looked at one another, thinking the same thing. scott had given so much of his life to this stupid supernatural world with nothing return. and the one time that he wanted something for himself, someone gets hurt.

"it's okay to want something for yourself once in a while. teen captain, alpha werewolf. you're still only human." stiles told him before he walked towards the exit.

"you know, he's right." aurora mumbled, scott looking at her.

"i know." scott sighed.

sooner or later, the two werewolves split up, scott going to check up on liam while aurora went to go find a vending machine. somehow, every vending machine that was on the first and second floor was out of order or didn't have what she was looking for. so here she was, walking towards the vending machine. she smiled once she realized that they had the bag of chips that she wanted. her eyes then shifted over to a bag of doritos, her smile dropping as she thought of boyd. she shook her head slightly before she pulled out a dollar - that scott had given her - and put it in the machine. she pushed in the numbers of the chips she wanted, watching it fall down to the bottom.

"rori?" the voice of melissa called, making aurora turn around.

"h - hi, melissa." aurora greeted awkwardly.

the older woman pulled the girl into a hug, a small smile on her face. scott had told her that they found aurora and she was alive, but she couldn't believe it until she saw her. aurora smiled, wrapping her arms around her.

"i've missed you so much." melissa mumbled into aurora's chest since the girl was taller. "i've gotta go check on a patient, but i'll try to find you later, okay?"

"okay." aurora nodded.

she watched melissa walk down the hall, turning back around so that she could bend down and get her chips from the vending machine. once she retrieved the bag, she stood up and opened it, a small smile on her face. she looked up, her eyebrows furrowing once her eyes landed on the reflection that was in the glass. she blinked, hoping that it was just her mind playing tricks on her, but the reflection was still there. she saw the familiar pink eyes glowing, staring right at her. but once thing that was different was her features, it wasn't her usual wolf ones. instead, it was the features of a beast, almost how peter looked when this whole supernatural stuff started.

she was pulled back into reality when she heard someone scream. she quickly turned to the direction that it came from, the hairs on the back of her neck shooting up. her eyebrows furrowed, wondering why her wolf sense hadn't reacted before whatever was happening happened, but then she remembered that her abilities will be acting up. she quickly ran to the direction of the scream, realizing that this was the same way that melissa went a few minutes earlier. she ran into the hall, seeing that a boy that she didn't know was onto of melissa, blood smudged all over the both of them. before she could do anything, scott ran out of the staircase, fully shift.

he let out a roar, gathering the attention of the boy and his mother. melissa quickly slid away from the boy as scott started to run towards him, tackling him to the floor. aurora noticed that the boy rows of sharp teeth. the boy quickly kicked scott off of him before he shot up from the floor and ran down the hall, pushing aurora out of the way in the process. melissa, scott, and aurora all got up from the floor, the two werewolves rushing towards the older woman.

"i'm okay. i'm all right." melissa promised.

"are you sure?" scott asked.

"go get that son of a bitch." melissa told the both of them.

"rori, stay with my mom." scott told her, going to walk off.

"no way." aurora quickly said, her eyebrows furrowed.

"rori, you can't control your abilities, so i need you to stay here." scott said.

"i may have been gone for two months, but that doesn't mean i changed." aurora told him, her eyebrows raised. "i'm still part gamma, scott. i still need to protect. so that means that i'm going with you, even if i gotta use a metal pipe as a weapon, okay?"

scott's jaw clenched, knowing that she wasn't gonna let this go. so instead of arguing, he nodded his head. the duo quickly ran the way the boy did before they went up the stairs that led to the roof. a groan coming from the roof made them move a lot faster, scott pushing the door open so that him and aurora could run out. once their eyes landed on the boy, they took a step closer as scott snarled. aurora let out a low growl once she realized that the boy was holding liam.

"get back!" the unknown boy yelled.

"you don't need to do this." scott tried. "whatever it is. whatever you are, we can help you."

"no, you can't." the boy said.

"let us help you." scott said.

"wendigos don't need help. we need food!" the boy yelled before he quickly turned liam around.

aurora felt a rush of anger surge through her, the girl quickly shifting as she growled. scott tried to stop her but the girl was all ready hopping onto the platform that the two boys were on, the wendigo pushing liam out of the way as he got ready to attack aurora. the hybrid quickly pushed back while scott jumped onto the platform to catch liam, who was hanging off the ledge of the roof. the wendigo quickly punched aurora in her face before he kicked her, sending her flying back. she rolled close to the ledge of the roof, quickly catching herself. she felt her heart drop when she looked over, seeing how big of a drop it was.

the sound of scott screaming and grunting in pain is what made aurora jump up, going to pull the wendigo off of him so that he could pull liam up. the wendigo quickly pushed aurora back, making her stumble into the wall and hit her head. he went back to scott, trying his hardest to pull him away from the ledge and let liam slip and fall. as aurora slowly recovered, liam's right hand slipped out of scott's left.

"i can't hold on!" liam yelled, fear dripping from his tone.

aurora blinked, shooting up from the ground before she ran over to scott and the wendigo. she grabbed the wendigo by the collar of his shirt before she pulled him off and threw him somewhere on the roof. but liam's left hand had already slipped off the ledge, scott reacting quickly as he dug his canines into liam's wrist to stop him from falling. aurora looked at the scene with raised eyebrows, not expecting him to do that. but she pushed aside her shock as she quickly grabbed onto liam's hand, helping scott pull him onto the roof. they didn't even notice the fact that the wendigo was now dead on the ground, an axe sticking out from his back.

the sound of the axe being pulled out is what caught their attention, the both of them turning to see the wendigo on the ground. aurora then noticed that someone was walking away, gently slapping scott's stomach. the alpha look towards the man too, the both of them watching as he slowly turned around, revealing his face. they felt chills run down their spines as they saw that the man didn't have a mouth, it was just skin. they watched as he brought a finger to where his mouth was supposed to be, silently shushing them before he disappeared behind an ventilation machine.

the sound of liam groaning in pain made them look towards him, seeing that he was holding his wrist. he looked at them before he looked down at the bite mark.

"you bit him." aurora mumbled, still trying to process everything that was happening.

"i know." scott said.

"i get that it was to save him but. . . it could kill him." aurora pointed out.

"i know." scott repeated.

"what are we gonna do?" aurora questioned.

"i don't know."
