"YOU ARE TRULY gifted, Rebecca," Alice marveled as she looked down at the picture Beck colored. 

   Beck gave her a shy smile as she grabbed another crayon from Robert, shading her picture of a grassy field. 

   Lily-Rose looked down at Beck's drawing, giving a hum.  "I think it needs more yellow." The small redhead declared, holding up the colored crayon. 

   "You think?"  Beck giggled with an arched eyebrow, gently taking the crayon extended to her.  Lily-Rose gave a single nod of her head before returning to her own picture allowing Beck and Alice to share a look, both trying to smother their laughs. 

   Suddenly a loud siren blared, making everyone in the loft jump to attention. 

   "Mommy, what's that?"  Robert whimpered as he crawled into his mother's lap. 

   Standing quickly, Beck ran to a cabinet as everyone else scrambled.  "Quickly!  Hide now."  She ordered as she held up the shotgun in her hands.  Everyone dashed out of the main room, hiding from sight as Beck positioned herself behind a support beam. 

   Holding the gun tightly, Beck released a slow breath as she listened.  The only sound was the alarm and Beck's own thumping heart.  Till the unmistakable sound of the loft's door squeaking open sounded. 

   Closing her eyes, Beck steeled herself before giving a nod.  She opened her eyes as she stepped out, pointing the gun at the intruders. 

   "Whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa.  Don't!" 

   "Beck, wait, it's us!"

   Scott and Stiles lifted their arms in surrender, their eyes wide at the sight of the small blonde pointing a shotgun at them. 

   "Scott?  Stiles?  What the hell?"  Beck shouted as she lowered her gun.  She stomped over to the alarm box, shutting it off. 

   "Why the hell do you have a gun?"  Stiles shouted back, waving his hands at the weapon. 

   "I'm being hunted," Beck snapped, glaring at the two boys in front of her. 

   "Where did you get a gun?"  Scott asked. 

   "Braedon had left it," Beck shrugged as she shifted on her feet.  Slowly, Beck looked up at Stiles.  "How's your dad?" 

   "Good," Stiles nodded.  "He's good.  Out of the hospital.  Been walking with a cane but it's only temporary."

   "Good," Beck murmured, nodding her head.  Releasing a breath, the small blonde looked at both Scott and Stiles.  "What are you two doing here?" 

   "We came to talk," Scott said, taking a step forward.  "Beck, we need your help." 

   "And I needed your help with the hunters.  But you did nothing."  Beck countered, glaring at Scott.  Instantly, Scott looked down in shame.  "Why should I help you?" 

   "Beck," Stiles said, lifting a hand to motion his best friend down as he stepped forward.  "It's Lydia." 

   "What happened to Lydia?" 

   "You don't know?"  Scott asked curiously. 

   "I haven't really been getting the latest info on what's going on outside," Beck said, sending a short glare to Stiles. 

   "Sorry, a lot kinda came up," Stiles muttered. 

   "Lydia's in Eichen House," Scott explained.
