Amara sat in-between Scott and Stiles on the couch in the Sheriff's Office. Stilinski, Makena and Agent McCall standing in front of them. "So when did you get there?" Agent McCall asked. "At the same time." Stiles answered, "At the same time as who?" McCall asked.

"At the same time as me." Scott answered, pointing at himself and Amara held up her hand, "And me." She said McCall raised his eyebrows. "By coincidence?" He asked ans Stiles squinted slightly, "What do you mean coincidence?" Stiles asked. "That's what I'm asking you. The three of you arrived at the same time. Was that coincidence?"

"Are you asking me?"

"I think he's asking me."

"No, he's definitely asking me. You two are too incompetent to answer questions properly."

"I think he's asking all of you." Lydia said, "Okay, let me answer the questions." He said then stopped when he realised his mistake. Amara chuckled quietly, raising her eyebrows at him as he sighed. "Let me ask the questions. Just so I have this absolutely clear. Barrow was hiding in the chemistry closet at the school. Someone left him a coded message on the blackboard telling him to kill Kira. Then Barrow took Kira to a power substation and tied her up with the intent of electrocuting her, which blacked out the entire town." He asked and they all nodded.

"Sounds about right."

"How did you know he'd take her to a power station?" He asked and Stiles shrugged nonchalantly, "Well, 'cause he was an electrical engineer. So where else would he take her?"

"That's one hell of a deduction there, Stiles."

"Yeah, what can I say? I take after my pops. He's in law enforcement." Stiles said winking at his dad who snorted then covered it up with a cough while Makena chuckled quietly and shook her head slightly. "Stiles, just, uh...Just answer the man."

"Look, we made a good guess." Stiles said with a slight shrug Agent McCall sighed then turned to his son and Kira, "What were the two of you doing?"

"Eating pizza." "Eating sushi."

"Eating sushi." "Eating pizza."

"Eating sushi and pizza." They said together slowly and Agent McCall nodded slowly. "You believe this?" McCall asked, turning to Stilinski and Makena. "To be honest, I haven't believed a word Stiles has said since he learned how to speak. But I think these kids found themselves in the right place at the right time and that girl sitting there is very lucky for it."

"Kira, is that how you remember it?" McCall asked and everyone turned to stare at her making her suck in a deep breath and nod, "Yes. Could I get my phone back now?" Kira asked and he sighed and shook his head, "Sorry, but no. Kira, a deputy is going to take you home. But we'll need you to fill out some paperwork first."

"So, Argent caught you and Allison kissing and made sure he mentioned his guns and that you're a Werewolf?" Makena asked as she and Amara walked up the stairs to Allison and Argent's apartment. "Yep." Amara said, "Okay, now why did you make me come back here with you?" Makena asked as Amara used the key Allison gave her to unlock the front door.

"So then you can convince your ex-hunter friend, to not kill your innocent and only daughter for dating his daughter." Amara said and Makena scoffed slightly, "You're my only daughter but I'm not sure you're my innocent daughter." She said making Amara frown slightly. "Just go make sure he's not gonna kill me." Amara said and Makena rolled her eyes, "He's just being a dad. He wont actually kill you." Makena said.

"I'm just being careful." Amara said before pushing her mom towards the office where she could hear Allison and Argent in. "I'll be in Allison's room." Amara said as she walked towards Allison's room, but the second she walked in she slowed to a stop when she felt like something was off.

She thought she heard something making her glanced around slightly before flashing her bright red eyes to see better in the dark. That's when she saw them. Dark, shadow like figures that resemble ninjas or samurais. They stepped towards her making her growl slightly before the door suddenly slammed shut.

"Amara?" Allison called put as she, Argent and Makena stepped out of the office. They heard someone smash making them quickly run over, "Amara!" Makena yelled, trying to open the door but it was locked. "Amara! Amara, come on! Open the door!" Argent yelled, trying to help Makena get the door open.

After a moment, Argent finally got the door open and they quickly ran in. Allison and Makena quickly ran over to Amara who was on the ground shivering, "She's freezing cold." Amara said as she gently grabbed her face. "Amara? Hey, look at me. Amara?" Makena said as she made her daughter look at her. "What's happening to hand?" Allison asked as she grabbed Amara's hand, "You have to make her turn." Argent said making Makena glance up at him.

"I- I need fire. Something stronger than I lighter." Makena said and Argent nodded slightly before running out the room. A few seconds later he ran back in and handed Makena a small torch. Makena clicked it on before holding it in front of Amara's face, close to her eye making Allison's eyes widened. "You can't do her hand? You have to do her eye?" She asked and Makena nodded, "Shes too used to the feel of fire on her hands." Makena said.

Amara gasped slightly, shooting up as her eyes glowed a bright red. She quickly pushed away from them, sitting against the bed frame, breathing heavily. "Did you see them?" She asked in a slight whisper making Allison furrowed her brows, "Who?" She asked as she grabbed her hand.

"There were five of them, they wore black... I couldn't- I couldn't see their faces, they were covered." Amara said as she slightly shook her head. "What do you mean? Like, masks?" Makena asked and Amara nodded, "One of them, I could see his eyes... They were greenish-yellow, like a-like a firefly." Isaac said making Argent's eyes widen slightly before he got up and walked over to the window.

"Security system wasn't triggered." Argent said making Makena look at him while Allison moved closer to Amara. "Then how did they get in?" Makena asked and Amara shook her head slightly, "They didn't. It was like they came out of the shadows." She said and Allison furrowed her brows when Argent seemed to know what Isaac was talking about. "Do you know what that means? Dad...?" She asked making him look at her, "Um... I'm not sure." He said before walking over to them.

"Listen, the three of you... I need you to keep this quiet for a few hours." He said and Amara looked up at him come, "From everyone?" She asked. "Just twenty-four hours." He said and Makena looked at him, "They could have killed her." She said in a whisper and Argent nodded.

"But they didn't... And I think there's a reason why... I think they might have been after me." He said making them all look at him confused as he walked away.

"Class starts in five minutes! Just because there's no power, don't expect there to be no school!" Coach says through a megaphone as he passes Stiles. "That was a triple negative. Very impressive, Coach." Stiles said as Amara walked up to her locker next to his, "Copy that."

"Hello... Where did you come from?" He muttered as he looked down at a key, "Are you really talking to your key?" Amara asked and he nodded. "I dont recognize this key." He said and she looked at him with raised eyebrows.

"Did you copy someone's keys again and forgot about it?" She said and he shook his head before glancing over at the school doors as Scott walked in. The second he walked in, his eyes met Kira's but she quickly sucked in a deep breath and turned around before going over to her locker down the hall.

"No. No, stop! Stop!" Stiles says as he grabbed Scott, stopping him from going over to Kira. "What? I need to talk to her." Scott said and Stiles shook his head, "No, you need to remember someone left a coded message telling Barrow to kill her." Stiles said.

"Which is why I need to talk to her-"

"Scott, no way! Until we figure out if she's just another psychotic monster that's going to start murdering everybody, I vote against any and all interaction!" Stiles said and Amara raised her eyebrows, "I doubt she's a psychotic monster that's gonna start killing everybody." She making Stiles look at her.

"How do you know?" Stiles asked and she raised her eyebrows at him, "Because Kira and my dad are two very different people." Amara said and Scott nodded in agreement.

"What if she's like me?" Scott asked and Stiles shook his head, "That girl walked through one point twenty one jigawatts of electricity. She's not like you." Stiles said.

"Okay, this one will get you into all of the perimeter doors." Stiles says handing Scott a key card, "This one into the evidence room. And this one's for my father's office." Stiles says handing Scott two more. "You didn't steal these, did you?" Scott asked, looking at Stiles wide eyed.

"No, I cloned them using the RFID emulator." Stiles said making Amara squint at him. "That's worse than stealing. A lot worse." She said and he pursed his lips, "It's smarter." He said looking over at her and she nodded slightly.

"Scott, can I ask you something?" Kira asked, pulling Scott away from the jeep making Stiles scoff. "Okay, I'll just..." He trailed off awkwardly making Amara chuckle. A few seconds later Scott and Kira walk back over to the jeep.

"Okay. So, now almost everybody's out dealing with the blackout, but there's always somebody at the front desk- there's dispatch and usually a night-shifter or two. You guys are gonna use the service entrance by the dumpster, all right? Nobody uses it. Now, I'll text you if anyone comes out, but Scott, if you get caught, I can't help you. My dad's under investigation for an impeachment because of your dad, so... if anything happens, I will run and leave you both for dead." Stiles said and then Amara leaned over him to peek her head out his window.

"And that's why I'm here and my mom is fully aware of what we're doing. We having have a bet going on which one of us will punch your dad first. I would like to win, I want a new helmet." Amara said and Scott nodded. "Got it. Thanks. Seriously, dude." Scott said looking at Stiles as Amara sat back down. "I'd ask my dad, but you know."

"No, I know. I get it." Scott said nodding, "All right. Just, uh... hurry up." Stiles says and they nodded and walked away while Stiles sat back. "Do you and your mom really have a bet on whose gonna punch Scott's dad first?" Stiles asked and Amara nodded, "Yep!" She said making him laugh.

After a few minutes of Stiles and Amara talking, or arguing on whose the best character in Star Wars, a pair of headlights shined in front of them making them look over to see McCall pull in. "Shit." Amara mumbled before quickly climbing out, "What are you doing?" Stiles asked as Amara ran around to the other side of the jeep as he texted Scott.

"Gonna distract him." She said and he sighed, "Okay, I am so going to regret this." He said before opening his door and climbing out. "You don't have to come if you dont want to risk getting your dad in trouble." Amara said as they started walking towards the door.

"Do you even know what you're gonna say?" He asked and she pursed her lips, "Not really, you?" She asked and he shook his head. "Nope. Hey, hey! Wow! Thank God you are here! Oh, boy! Thank the lord!" Stiles said, running into the station and over to Agent McCall.

"What do you guys want?" Agent McCall sighed, "Oh, jeez." He muttered glancing over at Amara whose eyes widened slightly. "We- huh- We had an idea. About the case." She quickly said and Stiles nodded, "We were thinking we should clue you in on our thinking. Here's our thinking. I was thinking this." Stiles rambled as he snapped his fingers while both Agent McCall and Amara looked at him weird.

"I was thinking that Barrow, right...?Barrow received the information about who to kill at the school, right? You know that? So, I was thinking, maybe the person who gave him that information- check this out- might actually be someone at the school. And that's, uh, my thinking..." Stiles rambled until Amara lightly pinched him arm to tell him to stop talking.

"Hmm." Agent McCall hummed while nodding, "You're right." He said making both Stiles and Amara raised their eyebrows. "I am?" Stiles asked and Agent McCall nodded, "Yep. We, uh... We started looking for links between Barrow, faculty, and students last night." Agent McCall said making Amara purse her lips.

"So, you already know that stuff then?" She asked and he nodded, "Your dad did." He said looking at Stiles. "His one useful suggestion." Agent McCall commented as he sipped his card to the evidence room while Amara and Stiles glared at him.

"You know, this attitude that you have toward my dad? You can dress it up to all the professional disapproval that you want... But I know the real reason why you don't like him." Stiles says and Agent McCall chuckled softly, "Is that so?"

"Yeah... Because he knows something that you don't want him to know. And guess what? I know it too. We both do." He said gesturing slightly to Amara making Agent McCall glance between them obviously slightly nervous. "Go home, you guys. There's a-there's a curfew." He said before walking into evidence.

Stiles and Amara glanced at each other before walking out and over to the jeep right as Kira and Scott ran over. "We did it! All the pics deleted!" Scott said and Kira smiled excitedly, "That was awesome! I mean, terrifying- completely terrifying! But kind of awesome. I've never done anything like that before. Have you?" She asked and Scott, Stiles and Amara looked at each other.

"Once or twice." Amara said making Kira hum. "So, I guess I should take you home..." Scott sighed and Kira's smile faded making Amara pinch Scott's arm and give him a look as Kira walked back to the bike. "Ask her if she wants to give to a party, you idiot." Amara whispered harshly making Scott's eyes widen slightly before walking over to his bike.

"Wanna go to a party?" Amara asked turned to Stiles with a smile. "Yeah, sure!" He said before climbing into the jeep making her chuckle and run over to the passenger side.

'It just showed up there on my key ring this morning. I asked my dad if he put it there, but he said he didn't know anything about it." Stiles says as they walked up the stairs to the loft. "It's just a key, right?" Scott asked and Stiles shrugged, "Yeah, but it's not mine. And I don't know it got there, or what it's for."

"You want to leave so we can figure it out?" Scott asked. "Uhh.." Stiles tailed off as they walked up to the door way of the loft to see a bunch of people covered in UV activated body paint, a DJ, and strobe lights. They all looked around slightly shocked and Amara hummed slightly. "Derek's gonna kill him." She said as she glanced around before seeing Allison standing off to the side.

"I'll see you guys later." She said before walking over to her girlfriend, "Have you see Scott?" Allison asked as Amara walked up to her. "I came with him, Stiles and Kira. You sure I can't tell him what happened?" Amara asked and Allison shook her head.

"No, we still have a couple hours, remember? We promised my dad." She said and Amara shook her head slightly, "You and my mom promised. I didn't." Amara said and Allison gave her a look. "Is protecting my father such a bad thing?" She asked and Amara shook her head slightly, "I just don't like keeping secrets from Scott. Maybe it's just the Alpha connection thing. You're not mad about that are you?" Amara asked and Allison shook her head

"No, I'm just frustrated." She said making Amara look at her with raised eyebrows "Sexually?" Amara asked. Allison looked at her and scoffed playfully making Amara smile at her. "You know, for someone who doesn't feel sexual attraction, you sure joke about it a lot." Allison said and Amara shrugged slightly, "I feel sexual attraction if I have a deep connection to someone." Amara said and Allison raised her eyebrows.

"Do we have that connection?" She asked and Amara stared at her for a moment with a smile, "Maybe." She said. Allison bit her lip slightly as she smiled before walking over to the body paint table. "Mind if I borrow this?" Allison asked she she grabbed a paint brush and the girl there shook her head.

Allison turned around to look at Amara and held the brush with her teeth. Amara watched as Allison took off her shirt before grabbing the paint brush. "Do you want to talk about Scott, or do you want to paint my body?" Allison asked, holding the paint brush out to Amara and she looked her up and down for a moment.

"I want to paint your body... I definitely want to paint your body." Amara said, grabbing the paint brush making Allison smile, "Thought so." She said.

A little while later Amara and Allison were part of the dancing crowd and Amara grabbed Allison's hand before twirling her around making her laugh. Amara smiled as she pulled Allison closer to him, grabbing her hips while Allison gently grabbed her face, being careful with the flames she had painted on Amara's jawline.

They stared at each other for a moment before Amara leaned down, pressing her lips to Allison's. Their lips moved in sync for a moment before Allison pulled away slightly and furrowed her brows. "What? What's wrong?" Amara asked, "There's something on your head. Behind your ear." Allison said making Amara bring her hand up to feel behind her ear.

Amara furrowed her brows before Allison grabbed her hand and pulled her to the bathroom. She grabbed Amara's chin and turned her head to look at the back of Amara's ear in the light. "Turn to the mirror. Turn to the mirror. You see that?" Allison said as Amara turned to the mirror to see something burned into her skin behind her ear.

"What the he is that?" Amara mumbled as Allison looked into the mirror over Amara's shoulder, "It looks like a number five." Allison said. Amara heard someone groan slightly making her look away from the mirror.

"Did you hear that?" Amara asked and Allison shook her head slightly making Amara pull away from her and walk towards the buckets of ice. There laid both Ethan and Isaac, completely out of it like Amara was last night. They quickly helped the guys sit up before Amara grabbed both of their wrists.

"What are
