'say hi to mom and dad for me.'




We had made it back to the Stiles house and knocked on the front door. Noah answered and his eyes were filled with tears as he saw us. I probably looked like shit, mascara running down my face and my hair was probably ratted. Stiles had cuts and bruises littering his face that he refused to let me heal. The man pulled us into a tight hug before he pulled away ushering us into the house.

"What happened? Are you okay?" Asked the man as he glanced between the two of us.

"Yes we're fine Noah, some players from the opposite team took us." I said coming up with a lie. We couldn't exactly tell the man that Gerard had taken us, then we would have to tell him about the supernatural. That's a conversation for another time.

"I'm so glad you're both ok after everything that happened at the game. Did you hear about Jackson?" Asked the man next and I could feel a fresh set of tears form. Yes we had heard about the boy, Gerard had told us when we were kidnapped. My brother had died on the field. I'm not exactly sure how it happened but I'm almost positive that the old man had something to do with it. I was going to kill him for that, I don't care if the others don't agree, he was going to die for what he did. I tried tonight but I was weak, I'm stronger now.

"Yes" sighed Stiles as he grabbed my hand for comfort. His dad was remorseful as even though he knew the boy wasn't the kindest, it could have easily been one of us. He was our age, he didn't deserve to die. Jackson wasn't a bad person, he was just a broken one. I never got the chance to try and fix him.

"Do you think I could see his body?" I asked as a few tears fell from my eyes. The mans face softened at my expression before he sighed.

"I'm sorry Lilac, only family can see him." He said looking sad.

"I am family." I said and the man looked confused so I elaborated. "He's my brother. My twin brother." I said and the man looked shocked. Why wouldn't he be shocked? A girl he's known for her whole life was telling him she had a twin brother that he never knew about. Anybody hearing that would be shocked.

"How?" He asked confused as he stared intently at me, waiting for my answer. I took a deep breath before speaking.

"We only found out a couple weeks ago, the night he filed the restraining orders. I found the records from our adoptions." I said and the man sighed pulling me into a hug again. He didn't exactly know how to comfort the girl, she had lost her biological parents, her adoptive parents and now she had lost her brother. She had no other family. After Claudia died, the man tried to stay strong for his son, but he still had nights he would cry himself to sleep or drink a little bit too much to forget. She was only a child, no child deserves all that pain, all that loss.

"Maybe you should get some rest Lilac, I can take you to see his body tomorrow." He said and I pulled away from the man before nodding. I could tell he wanted to talk to his son so I left to wait in the boys room. I didn't listen in on their conversation.He wanted to talk to his son and I wasn't him so I didn't need to hear. I began to cry again, god I can't stop crying. My brother, who I had only just found out about and I had lost him. I was cut from my thoughts as the boy entered the room and came to sit beside me. He sighed upon noticing my state as he placed a hand over mine.

"There's something you might want to see." He said before he passed me his phone. It showed a text from Scott. 'Jackson's not dead. We found a way to save him. Love. Get Lydia and bring her to this warehouse.' It read but I didn't read the address as I was shocked. I could save my brother. Love. What love is stronger than family? I knew exactly what I had to do. Lydia wouldn't be enough and I knew exactly how to save him. I stood up quickly turning to the boy. He was sat still, completely still. He didn't seem bothered that we could save him, in fact he looked like he didn't want to.

"I can save him, I can save my brother." I said and he looked down at the ground. I could smell guilt, he felt guilty. Why did he feel guilty?

"You can't go." He said and I laughed. He must be joking, this was my family. Of course I was going. He sounded serious but I didn't want to believe the words coming out of his mouth.

"You're joking right?" I asked and he shook his head in response. Why was he saying this? He knew I needed to go and that he couldn't stop me. He would do anything for his dad, his family and I would do the same for my brother.

"I can't risk you getting hurt." He said and I laughed once again. I'm a vampire for Christ's sake, I'll heal and if I don't, I'll die and come back.

"In case you forgot, I can't die. I'm immortal. If I get hurt, I'll heal. Stiles, Jackson is my twin, and I'm going to save him whether you like it or not." I said raising my voice in anger. Me and Stiles had only ever argued twice in our lives. The first time he had stolen my barbie doll because he said I played with it than him and the second time was after my parents died and I didn't want to see him, he was angry because he wanted to be there for me. Both times, he had a heartfelt reason, but at the time I didn't know that. I was angry at the boy, I couldn't understand what his reason was this time.

"That's the problem." He said angrily "You don't care about getting hurt. It doesn't matter if you're immortal. You've already died twice and it broke my heart. God Lilac, don't you see. You don't care about your own life, you're reckless. You might be a supernatural creature and I might just be human, but seeing you hurt hurts me. Do you know how I felt when you died? I was devastated. I didn't leave my room when you died. I prayed that you would walk through that door but you never did. I can't go through that again. I can't risk it. You're my best friend and I don't know why I would do without you. God even Scott would agree with me, in fact everybody would. But me, I need you the most. I can't risk loosing you Lilac" He shouted at the top of his lungs. His eyes were filled with tears of frustration but none fell as he was now stood in the middle of the room waving his hands about in emphasis at me. In this moment, the hated him. I hated him for the things he just said to me, but I hated him even more for trying to stop me. I knew I wouldn't hate him forever, hell I have a crush on the boy but right now I couldn't stay here, I couldn't look at him.

"Fine, I'll save him myself." I said as I rushed out of the boys room. It was probably a shitty move but if I could save Jackson, I would and I wouldn't let him stop me. I could hear the boy punch a wall, probably in anger. The sheriff was stood in the kitchen as I left, he had heard shouting but didn't know what it was about but I didn't speak as I walked through the door and he watched me leave. I had to get to my house. That's where it was, the thing that could save Jackson.

~~~

I found my phone in the boys room before I stormed out and Scott had text me the location of the warehouse. I had what I needed as I rushed towards the place where I would save him. I was almost there and I could hear a loud crash.

I had just got here and I saw a familiar sight, Stiles Jeep. He had crashed through the wall into Jackson. I watched the boy rise in half kanima form before the red head walked up to him. From her pocket she pulled out a small metallic item, a key and held it up to the boy. However, it didn't seem to be working as he lifted his hand. He was going to kill her, he had his claws extended so it would be easy.

I sped to the girl and moved her away before walking back to the boy. He stared at me in curiosity. I pulled out our adoption papers. A small brown file with our names written in large red font on the front. The only proof we had that we were family. Everybody was confused as they stared at the files. The boy looked closer before taking the papers from my hands and examining them. I could of sworn I had seen a smile but before he could speak, Derek and Peter pushed their claws into the boy. No, no why did they do that? I wasn't even bothered by the supposed dead man as I watched the boy topple over to the ground.
"Why did you do that?." I screamed at the top of my lungs and the men looked scared, they each moved away from me in fear I would attack.

I knelt down and pulled his head onto my lap. I felt tears fall and the boy had the same. He still had the file tightly in his grip I pulled the papers from his hands and placed them on the ground beside us. I removed my jacket and placed it over the naked boy. I pushed his hair from his face and smiled at him.

"I'm sorry." He said. He didn't have to be sorry, I'm the one that should apologise. I failed him just like I failed my parents.

"What for?" I asked as I continued to stroke the boys hair.

"Not being a good brother." He said and everyone looked shocked.

"Brother?" They all shouted at the same time but I ignored them. Now wasn't the time, he was going to die and they were my last concern.

"You were the best brother." I said, even though we hadn't known long, in the time we had he did nothing but protect me. He tried to protect me from himself and Matt. He wanted to protect his sister, his only real family.

"Does that mean you forgive me little sis?" He asked as he choked on his blood.

"You're only older by thirteen minutes. But of course I do big bro." I said and he laughed

"I love you little sis." He said as his breathing became laboured. He was trying to hold on.

"Say hi to mom and dad for me." I said and he grabbed my hand squeezing as he nodded. Then his hand let go, his body fell limp. He was dead. My brother was dead. I let him die.

"I love you too Jackson." I said as my body racked with sobs before I was pulled away by Scott who looked at me with sorrow. Everybody around us had shed tears and I saw Lydia and Stiles holding hands. I didn't have it in me to be jealous, I couldn't. I had just gone through so much pain that I couldn't give myself anymore. Scott had grabbed my hand as he wiped tears from my face that continued to flow from my very sore eyes. I had cried the most I have ever cried in my life today. When my parents died, I cried at first but the hurt was so painful that I cut it off. I started feeling nothing because that was better than being in pain all the time. Now I didn't know how to turn it off, it's like I couldn't.

Then I heard the sound of scratching. I turned to see Jackson, alive. For a second I thought I was hallucinating but then his eyes started glowing a vibrant steel blue like Dereks once had. He let out a roar, the roar of wolf. He was a werewolf, more importantly he was alive.

Lydia ran to the boy and wrapped him in a hug. I pulled out a pair of clothes from my bag I thought he might need, after I died I didn't have clothes so I figured it would be the same for him. I walked over to the past couple and the boy went in for a hug. I quickly moved away from the very naked boy.

"I love you bro but I'd rather not hug you naked." I said and he looked down only now realising his nude appearance. I passed him the clothes before he put them on and pulled me straight into a hug. He held me so tightly that if I was human, probably would have suffocated me to death.

"I'll never leave you again." He said

"I'll hold you to that." I said as he pulled away and everybody was staring at us. Everybody's face showed confusion.

Everybody began to start calling questions. "One question at a time people." I called and they all laughed.

"How is he your brother?" Asked Scott and everybody except Stiles nodded, he already knew the answer.

"Well when our parents died, we were both put up for adoption, to two different families but he's my brother." I said and they all looked shocked. Jackass Whittemore was my brother.

"We're twins." Said the boy and I laughed. Everybody's face was priceless until Scott began to look around in a panic.

"Where's Gerard?" He called and everybody else began to look around frantically. Right that old bastard, I didn't have a reason to kill him anymore but he deserved to feel pain. The pain I felt when I lost him.

"He can't of gotten far." Shouted Chris, I didn't even notice he was here. Then I looked over to the ground and saw Isaac. He had multiple deep slashes down his back and was sat in a puddle of his own blood. I knelt down and rolled the boy over so that he could see me.

"You're not dying on me freezer boy." I said and he started to laugh but stopped from the pain.

"God I love you." He said and his eyes widened at what he just said. I simply ignored his comment as I bit into my wrist and shoved it into the boys mouth. He grimaced at the taste. I pulled my arm away and watched the boys wounds heal faster than they were before. "Can I still get something to make me feel better?" He asked as he sat himself against the nearby wall.

"Don't even think about it Lahey!" Jackson shouted and the boy nodded frantically. He was scared of Jackson and now he was my brother, it was all the more reason for him to be on the boys bad side. Having sex with his little sister isn't exactly something they could become friends over.
