doors begin coming out of the wall, metal seeming to bend and collapse inward.

"The kitchen. The door out of the kitchen leads to the stairwell" Gabriella suggested

"Which only goes up" Scott pointed out

"Up is better than here"

ANOTHER BOOM and the decision is made as they run for the kitchen.

THE STAIRWELL DOOR slams open.

Gabriella and the others spill out into the second floor hallway, they try doors.

All locked, breaking the lock was Gabriella's last option not wanting to use any werewolf ability infront of a hunter's daughter.

Lucky she doesn't have to because Lydia finds an open one and They hurtle into a Chemistry room, quickly and quietly shutting the door.

Gabriella grabs the teacher's chair and fits it under the knob as they hear--

THE STAIRWELL DOOR SLAMS OPEN.

Everyone backs away to the wall where they can't be seen at the window of the door, each holding their breath and stiles and Gabriella holding hands.

Jackson, Lydia, Allison, Gabriella, Scott and Stiles, all press to the wall in terror.

Closest to the door, Gabriella slowly leans out from the wall.

Stiles grabs at her, trying to get her to pull back, but she cocks his head, listening...

She hears the CLICK of CLAWS against the tile floor.

The creature coming closer and closer.

The door RATTLES from the weight of its approach.

Lydia covers her mouth with her hands, trying not to shriek as a BREATH STEAMS THE WINDOW at the door.

And then...

It moves on, the sound of its lumbering body dissipating.

After a moment, the kids breathe. But no one moves.

Eyes still on the window of the door, Scott whispers--"Jackson, how many people can fit in your car?"

"Six if somebody squeezes onto someone's lap"

Allison looked at Jackson "Six? I barely fit into the back"

Gabriella sighed "It doesn't matter. There's no getting out without drawing attention"

"What about this?" Scott's eyes to the STEEL DOOR past the teacher's desk "It leads to the roof. We could go down the fire escape to the parking lot in seconds."

Stiles points to the door "But that's a dead bolt"

"The Janitor has a key"

"You mean his body has it"

"I can get it" scott began to whisper "I can find him by scent. By blood"

" Gee, that's an incredibly terrible idea. What else you got?"

Gabriella said "I can break the lock"

"That's terrible, next"

"why is it terrible" Gabriella asked

"because when the cops get here there gonna take everyone's statement and when they do that there gonna mention that you broke a dead bolt with you bare hands and that's gonna to the police report

and then the argents are gonna read that report because a werewolf tried to hurt there daughter and when they read that you broke the lock without any tools there gonna wonder how a teenage girl broke the lock with her bare hands,

then there gonna realize your a werewolf then they are gonna gonna kill your little werewolf behind"

They pause and think for a moment but couldn't come up with another idea so Scott says out loud for everyone to hear "I'm getting the key"

Allison's eyes widen "Are you serious?"

"It's the best plan. Someone has to get the key if we want to get out of here"

" You can't go out there unarmed" Allison said, scared

Scott grabs the teacher's POINTER from the chalkboard, gripping it like a baseball bat "It's better than nothing"

Gabriella sighed before deciding "I'm going with you'

Stiles looked at her like she was crazy "Ah no your not"

Gabriella pulls Stiles away from the other "I have to do this if Scott goes out there alone he is gonna get killed, if I go with him he atleast has back up"

"Fine then am coming with you"

"you cant"

"Why not"

"Because you don't heal like us and if something happens to you I won't be able to forgive myself" Gabriella tried to convince him but Stiles wouldn't budge

"and if something happens to you, I won't be able to forgive myself for letting you go out there with werewolf that had a taste for blood"

" Well every other option has an even higher mortality rate, this somehow is the safest option"

"but-"

Gabriella cuts him of by kissing him, they pull away when they hear the sound of Broken glass.

They look to there side and saw Jackson who broke the chemical cabinet and lydia takes several bottles line the teacher's desk.

Lydia pours one bottle into a mixture already in a GLASS BEAKER "Jackson, hand me the sulfuric acid"

He turns each bottle, looking for the right one, then carefully hands it to Lydia.

Allison shook her head "No. No, this is insane. You two can't do this. You can't go out there"

"And we can't sit here waiting for Stiles's dad to check his messages"

"You could die. Do you get that? He's killed three people."

"And we're next. Someone has to do something" Turning, Gabriella eases the chair out from under the doorknob.

" stop, stop!"

"We'll be back--"

"Stop. Just stop" Allison had tears in her eyes, out of fear and anger.

Allison pulls scott so they can have a private conversation as Stiles takes a step closer to Gabriella.

"I hate this"

"I know but it's the only way to get out of here without revealing the slightest clue that we are werewolves"

Stiles pulls Gabriella toward him, pressing his lips to hers in a kiss of pure pleading.

Gabriella gently eases back and breaks the kiss With a look of torture on his face, when she hears Scott's footsteps coming towards them.

She turns and Goes out the door with scott who was holding the cocktails lydia made in his hand.

The door to the darkened stairwell eases open.

All too aware of his own frightened gasps, Scott and Gabriella step inside and peer down...

No sign of movement, they begin taking the steps one-by-one, inching there way back to the first floor.

Gabriella steps around the corner, breathing the air in, cocking her head... and catching a scent.

Two double doors quietly click open allowing them to step into the school's cavernous gymnasium.

A large wide-open space, it's lit only by the emergency lights mounted over the two exits.

Clutching the MOLOTOV COCKTAIL in his hand, Scott takes a breath of the air, his head turning toward THE TELESCOPING BLEACHERS against the wall.

They make there way over, but instead of climbing up, they step around and UNDERNEATH the bleachers.

Through the dark recesses Scott ventures deeper and deeper.

Feeling her way through the underside of the bleachers, Gabriella slowly peers up to discover something hanging in the shadows above.

THE JANITOR'S KEYS.

Hanging from his body which itself hangs from the metal supports crosshatching the underside of the bleachers...

Gabriella shakes her head "I'm not touching that"

"Really grave digging is ok with you but this creeps you out"

" juuust get it will ya"

Scott gently sets the MOLOTOV COCKTAIL down on the floor.

He reaches for one of the metal supports underneath the bleachers.

Stepping gingerly up, he begins climbing, making his way toward the KEYS which hang from the Janitor's belt.

After one last step, he stretches his arm, trying to grasp at the keys when--

A CLUNKING SOUND makes him stop.

Scott holds still, eyes darting to the shadows as Gabriella cocks her head to listen.

But there's nothing, Scott reaches up again for the keys when ANOTHER CLUNK causes the supports to shudder.

Turning back, they see what the source of the sound is when--

THE BLEACHERS START COLLAPSING INWARD.

Someone or SOMETHING is pushing the seats in from the gym floor, causing the bleachers to telescope in on them.

With a well-aimed swipe, Scott snatches the keys off the body.

He jumps back to the floor between the bleachers and the wall and when he grabs the cocktail they hurtle for the light just beyond.

But the bleachers close in fast, threatening to crush in on them as they makes one last leap and Tumbles out to safety.

They turn around to see the alpha looking at them, Gabriella gets of the floor and eyes the creature infront of her. "you know if you wanna build your pack, you really shouldn't oh I don't know TRY TO TURN YOUR PACK MEMBERS INTO PANCAKES!"

Apparently he didn't like that so he comes rushing forward as Scott hurls the cocktail and they squeeze there eyes shut waiting for the fiery explosion.

But all they hears is breaking glass.

There eyes snap open to see harmless chemicals spilling across the floor.

"Oh damn"

SOMETHING latches around there ankles and drops them right to the floor.

The KEYS tumble out of Scott's grasp as he's hurled to the center of the gym.

A CLAWED HAND clamps down on the side of Scott's head, pushing his face to the floor.

The tips of the claws poke into his cheek, threatening to draw blood as his eyes open wide.

Gabriella saw the scene infront of her knowing she had to do something she promised herself she will never do again something that reminded her of her past somthing that she got from her father and his heinous legacy.

Gabriella rasies her hand and breathed in as a deep crimson light that manifested from her hand and with a heavy heart, she directed it towards the alpha hoping not to hurt Scott in the process.

As the light hit the alpha making him howl in pain and run away, Gabriella vision slowly turned black as she follows down to the ground unconscious.

[...]

As Gabriella gradually awoke, the sterile scent of the hospital room filled her senses.

Her eyelids fluttered open, and the harsh fluorescent lights above momentarily blinded her.

She blinked, trying to focus on her surroundings, and then her gaze shifted to the figure seated beside her bed.

"Erica?" Gabriella croaked, her voice barely audible as she sit up.

Erica, her face etched with worry and relief, turned toward Gabriella, her eyes brimming with tears.

"Gabby, you're awake!" She leaned in, gently hugging her friend, being mindful of Gabriella's "fragile state".

Gabriella returned the embrace weakly, her mind still clouded by the aftermath of her previous exertion "What... happened?"

"I don't know I was leaving the hospital when I saw them wheeling you in"

Gabriella tried to piece together the memories of that fateful moment.

The crimson light, the exertion, and then darkness. She nodded slowly, remembering the cost of using her power.

"i thought i lost you" Erica whispered, gripping Gabriella's hand tightly "But you're here now, and that's all that matters"

Gabriella smiled and before she could say anything the door opens and a boy with tanned skin, short black hair and dark brown eyes comes inside the room holding two cups.

"ok I've got your-" The boy looks up and saw Gabriella who was now conscious "Oh hi am Lucas am a friend of Ericas, I was with her when you came in"

"it's nice too meet you Lucas, um how did you and Erica meet?"

"Oh we met a few years back when I had an episode and I came into the hospital" Erica said

"yea I was being treated here for leukemia we were the only two kids here so we started talking and until this day she just won't leave me alone" lucas said with a devilish smile

" haha very funny Lucas" Erica grabs a teddy bear from the nightstand and throws it at Lucas, but he dodges it and as the teddy bear goes past his head and hits the person who just opened the door in the face.

It hit Stiles making him spill his water all over himself.

trying to hold a laugh in Gabriella said "Oh hey Stiles"

"it's not funny"

"Oh, it totally isn't"

"Then stop laughing"

Gabriella biting her lip trying to keep a laugh in "I'm not"

Stiles gave her a serious look before everyone in the room including Stiles burst out in laughter.

After a few moments Lucas gets up from his chairs. "ok now Erica let's give the love ones there alone time"

Lucas pushes Erica out the door but not before saying "don't get knocked up!"

"Get out!"

Lucas closes the door leaving Gabriella and stiles alone in silence.

"a-"

'please just-just let me explain"

Stiles nods before taking a seat next to Gabriella.

"ok so am guessing Scott already told you about the light shooting out of my hand, I can explain, I got that thing from my father he was born with a mutation in his genes that allows him to absorb countless abilities of other shapeshifters by killing them making him one of the most feared werewolves out there,

the gene passed on to me but it mutated even more causing me to do things that I don't want to do, for example shooting red light out of my hands but every time I do it, it drains me it's more than I can control, so that's why I down play my abilities I don't want to lose control and hurt anyone"

After Gabriella stopped talking she looked at Stiles terrified on what's gonna happen next, but to her surprise he hugged her tightly not wanting to let go "I thought you were dead"

"wait- so your not mad I didn't tell you before"

"Ofcourse not look Elle I don't care about what you did in the past, I don't care even if you murdered an entire town, I'll will still be inlove with you because I know who you are and

I don't care about the decisions you made in the past or your apparently psychotic father, I love you, I'll always love you and I don't care if you never tell me about your past"

Gabriella teared up in happiness

finally somone who won't judge her, somone who will always love her, somone who she will always love.

Gabriella grabs Stiles gently before connecting her lips to his.

While they kiss the two teenagers don't notice a certain Argent watching them through the window.

Chris had come to see Gabriella as he looked at her he was so confused on how he didn't see it the first time.

She looks like his sister, she dresses like his sister, she acts like his sister, she smiles like his sister.

How could he not notice that she was the spinning image of his sister, how could he not notice his niece.

The nieces he last saw seven years ago, the niece he watched from afar, the niece that was a werewolf just like his sister was.

we met an oc Lucas Moore, guess what his part in the story is and do you know who Gabriella's dad is? I dropped alot (lie) of hints.
