"The Overlooked"

"Do you know what happened to Stiles's father?" Derek asked and he was watching Jennifer Blake, whose head shook.

"How should I know?" Jennifer asked and Stiles was shaking his head at the lies. "Derek, tell me that you don't believe this." She pleaded.

"Do you know what happened to Stiles's father?" Derek repeated the question and he looked at Jennifer, as she shook her head.

"No." Jennifer said.

"Ask her why she almost killed Lydia." Scott said and Jennifer looked back at him, with an incredulous look on his face.

"Or maybe, ask her why she took Casey as one of her next victims." At that, the whole tone shifted. Tye was standing in the doorway to the loft as he looked at Derek.

"What-what did you say Tye?" Derek asked and Tye walked down the stairs and he walked over to stand next to Scott and Stiles.

"I said, that you should ask her why Casey was taken at the same time as the Sheriff. Why, she felt it necessary to take her, while also helping to ruin her life with a pack that cared." Tye said and he looked at Jennifer, as his tears were falling. "Ask her, why Casey told me to survive and she was forced away!" They had never heard Tye yell before, but it happened and he shook his head. "This is what I found at the scene." Tye held up the broken necklace and Derek's eyes widened at the sight of it as his eyes, they glowed red in the darkness at the sight of it.

Tye tossed it through the air and Derek caught it by the broken chain and he looked at it in silence. "Ask her why she thought that another Emissary, would be a smart target to go for." They all looked up to see Freya standing there, claws out, fangs bared and eyes shining icy blue. "It is you, Julia, isn't it?" She asked as she was standing next to Tye.

"I've never met you..."

"Bullshit!" Freya snarled and after Jennifer had been revealed by being doused in mistletoe, Derek had nearly killed her, before being convinced by Scott, Stiles and Tye to stop.

Tye and Freya were in Casey's car driving to the hospital and Freya was shaking her head. "I have to help my pack on this, you understand that right?" Freya asked softly and Tye, he looked at her.

"How do you know her?" Tye asked quietly and Freya sighed, tracing the tattoo of the Alpha Pack symbol that was on her wrist. "Frey?" He asked.

"Jennifer Blake. Her name was originally Julia Baccari. She was my mother's Emissary and, Mom, she killed her or... thought that she did, on the sacred grounds of what was once the Nemeton. The sacred ground that had once been what it was, that made Beacon Hills a real beacon." Freya murmured as she was looking at him. "I'm so, so sorry about Casey." She whispered and Tye looked at her.

"Will you help me find her? No matter, what battle lines we may find in between us? Will you help me?" At the words, Freya nodded.

"You grew up." Freya murmured as Tye nodded slightly and she grabbed his hand in hers.

Freya faced off fearlessly with the Merged twins and she looked up at them.

"You don't really want to have to deal with my mother, do you? You two need to leave, now." Freya said and they growled. "I will help you kill her, but, only after she saves Cora's life." Freya explained and they lunged for her, as Freya immediately snapped out her claws and she avoided the attacks swiftly as if, it was like she could see them all coming.

Derek and Tye, they also lunged forward at the massive werewolf and Tye was flung into the wall and every one of them heard the snapping of bone and Tye fell hard.

Derek lasted slightly longer and while, Scott fell alongside Tye, the twins held Freya against the wall as she was shaking her head.

"Let me go and I can help you! The both of you. Just-just let go of me, you two, I swear!" Freya choked out as the twins let her go as Freya caught herself against the wall. The twins looked at her and her eyes glowed icy blue. "You could have just asked me nicely." She mumbled.

Freya found herself walking into the morgue, where her mother, Kali, was now waiting for her with Deucalion in the morgue. "Mom, Duke." Freya said and they both looked at her. "Y'know that it's Julia... Right Mom?" Freya asked softly and Kali nodded slightly.

"I didn't understand why I had to kill her too. She was harmless, at the time at least. But I did it because you wanted me to. I did everything you asked, to be a part of this pack." Kali said and Deucalion scoffed lightly at the words.

"You did it to be with Ennis, so, don't you point that accusing toe at me. And as for harmless, how harmless does she look now?" The Demon Wolf had a point as he looked at Freya, who watched him. "Do you have a question for us, little wolf?"

"Did you know that Derek and the Darach are stuck in the elevator? I can hear them talking, they are just stuck between the floors." She said and Deucalion chuckled softly.

"You may go. Find the twins and finish the job that your mother that she should have completed herself, a long time ago." Deucalion hardly had finished speaking, as Freya was already running to find the twins.

Ethan was in the hallway and Freya barreled around the corner as she ran straight into him. "Sorry. Sorry." She said and he looked at her. "Wait, E. Where's Aiden?" She asked.

After Allison had tricked them, Freya took off, with the twins. Freya caught up with them and they all looked at one another. "I'm not as fast as you remember? I'm still a beta, a beta amongst a pack of alphas. A sheep among the wolves." Freya said softly and Ethan went to get the motorcycle and Aiden looked at Freya, who was leaning heavily against the wall.

"I'm sorry." He said and she looked over at him. "I should have let you go, I was the reason that we didn't..." He said and she looked at him.

"Doesn't matter, Aiden. It doesn't matter." Freya murmured as he was tilting his head at her. "What?" She asked.

"I'll just carry you." Aiden said and he took off running with Freya, as she was soundly asleep now as soon as he had picked her up.
