that's new

—

The footsteps coming up behind her don't at all alarm Carter as she turned back to look at the woman in front of her.

'You're only going to grow stronger. Which is why I would advise you stop skipping your lessons to hang out with that Stilinski boy.'

Carter didn't respond, still staring in shock at the woman who only chuckled at her expression.

'And him right there?' Carter's eyes followed where her finger pointed. 'He's going to become something extremely powerful. And he's going to need your help. Leilani's help also. Because she will become something extraordinary.'

Carter watched as Leilani reached for Scott's hand, giving the flare to Stiles, who stood behind her with tears in his eyes. The boy tossed the flare off to the side, not noticing how close it landed to the gasoline.

The blonde looked at her mother with worry, 'Go do what you do best, hun.'

Carter rushed forward, unknowingly sending a wave of shock over the other teens she crashed into when she forced them to the ground. The burst of flames behind them so bright it could blind them. Her head lifted at the same time as Lydia's, both girls catching a glimpse of a masked figure in the shadows of the flame. Neither girl said anything as Carter's attention immediately turned to Leilani and Jessica, who both seemed fine as they were helped up by Isaac and Allison.

"That's new."

The words dragged Carter's eyes away from her friends and over to Stiles, whose body seemed to be wrapped in a violet "blanket" of sorts. He looked up at Carter, whose brows raised in confusion.

She lifted her shoulders to shrug, "I'm not doing that."

"Yeah, you are." Leilani and Jessica mumbled in unison. Jessica, despite nearly being burnt to a crisp, smiled slightly at the ring forming around her body.

"I'd appreciate it if you could take that off of her so I can give her a proper hug." Isaac huffed, looking at the blonde witch.

"I'm not doing anything!" Carter yelled, raising her hands in defense.

"Oh my god!" Scott shouted as he backed away from the purple flame that hit his foot.

"Hey, let's relax, yeah?" Stiles said to the group before turning to Carter, his voice softening, "Listen, we don't need anyone coming out of their rooms to catch us all looking like this, okay? So just do me a favor and calm down."

Carter sighed, "I am calm! I'm not doing anything on purpose."

"It's okay. You're okay. Just relax." The Stilinski moved forward, taking her hands in his own, intertwining their fingers. "Deep breaths. Just relax."

The purple ring that seemed to be surrounding the bodies of Leilani, Jessica, and Stiles slowly unraveled before it completely disappeared. "That's good."
