A/N: finally finished writing 6a ;__; just one moreee

Phoebe's POV:

Parrish's brows furrow into concentration, keeping his stares to the Ghost Rider who took a step closer to the wired fence.

"That's progress." Theo muttered.

"Maybe ask him how we get everyone back?" I suggest.

"Tell us how we get everyone back." Parrish repeated but in response, the Ghost Rider simply tilts his head upward and lets out a short haunting noise.

"What was that?" Liam worriedly asked.

"Did he say something?" Scott added.

"He said 'Hellhound.'" Parrish answered with unease.

"Is that a good thing?" Theo questioned.

Scott nodded his head towards the Ghost Rider. "Ask him again."

Parrish takes a step closer to the mountain ash barrier. "What do you want from us?"

"We are the Wild Hunt." The chilling-raspy voice spoke, causing my eyes to widen. "We hunt forever. Those who hunt with us hunt forever."

"What does that mean?" Liam insisted.

"Tell us what you want." Parrish firmly stated.

"We are the Wild Hunt." The Ghost Rider spoke once more. "We hunt forever. Those who hunt with us hunt forever."

"That clarifies things." Theo scoffs in annoyance.

"I don't think he's going to spill." I hesitantly say, but Scott's expression never wavered.

"What do we have to do to get everyone back? Do you want something from us?"

The Ghost Rider turns his head towards Scott, almost as if he was sizing him up.

"Why's he looking at Scott?" Liam inquired with suspicion.

Theo glances between the Ghost Rider and Scott. "He figured out Scott's the Alpha."

I cross my arms with a glare. "There must be something he wants. They wouldn't do it if it benefitted them."

"There is only the Hunt." The Ghost Rider's whispers echoed. "No one resists. No one escapes."

"If they can't be bargained with, we're gonna have to fight 'em." Scott worriedly explains to us before his expression shifts into a glare to the Ghost Rider. "I'm coming for my friends. I'm coming for everyone. I won't stop. I'll never stop until we get everyone back."

The Ghost Rider slowly turns back towards Parrish, making another distorted sound which causes Parrish's head to tilt to the side in a trance-like state.

"Parrish?" Liam worriedly called. "What's happening?"

"Scott..." I uneasily trail, taking note of Parrish's blank expression and I discreetly reach for my electrified batons.

Suddenly, a surge of flames burst out from within Parrish's chest disintegrating the clothes he was wearing. His eyes blaze a bright fiery orange-red color and take a step forward, resting his foot on the mountain ash barrier.

"W-What is he doing?" Theo stammered.

Scott's eyes widen, seeing that the ash bursts into a line of blue flames, burning away the properties into dust. "He's gonna set him free."

I click the buttons on the batons to activate the electricity and I lunge to push it against Parrish's back but he whirls around, snatching the baton out of my hands.
