Nia's POV
"Dad?"
"Derek?" Eli and I shout at the time.
"Oh thank god!" Derek says and hugs Eli.
I put Talia down and she rushes to Derek too.
Once he's hugged both kids I throw myself at him.
"What happened? Did she catch up to you guys?" He whispers to me.
"Yeah. Talia's eyes glowed." I say and he pulls back from me to check I'm being serious before looking down at Talia.
"Eli also learnt." I say and he takes a breath in relief.
"Hey, we've got a problem." Dad says to Derek.
"Yep." Derek nods holding me to his side.
"Three of them." Deaton speaks up.
Where the fuck did he comes from?
Oni appear at the end of the corridor and I immediately grab Talia as Derek pushes me behind him along with Eli.
Fuck these are the same guys that paralysed me once. They belong to the same creature that possessed Stiles. They killed Allison and Aiden.
What the fuck is going on?
Derek pushes me onto the floor and I stay there as Dad, Deaton, Derek and Eli fight the Oni.
Oh my god!
One of them gets dad with a sword and he turns into... air?
"Dad?!" I scream and Talia tries to take her head out of my chance but can't because I hold her head there.
Shit.
Then Deaton is followed.
Derek fights one that gets too close to me.
"Nia, get out! Take the kids and run!" He says and I nod.
"I love you. Come with." I say and he nods.
"I'm right behind you. Eli go!" He says as he fights.
One of them come up behind him and before I can get a word out a sword goes straight through him. He turns to air, like Dad did.
He says "remember who you are." As he goes.
Oh fuck off. No.
Fuck this.
"Come on!" Malia grabs my shoulder and pulls Eli up.
What the fuck is going on? Where did she come from?
We rush into the basement which is possibly the dumbest place to be.
"Come on." She says as she grabs Talia from me.
"Hi auntie Malia!" Talia smiles wiping her eyes.
"Not now kid. Go to sleep." She says and I nod at Talia.
We keep rushing through the basement when the Oni follow us.
"I can do this." Eli says as he wolfs up.
"Oh shit." Malia says.
No fucking way. My dad and Derek are both gone. He's not going too.
"No!" Malia says and before I can grab him he rushes into the Oni and would you believe it. Turns to black musty air.
"No." I say in disbelief.
3 people in less then 30 minutes, new record I guess.
Malia pulls down the covers and sun breaks through the room. Making the Oni disappear as she sinks to the floor, holding Talia to her.
"Eli." She mutters and my heart sinks even more.
"Come on." I say helping her up.
We head to the station where she fills me in on everything and I mean everything.
Allison being back.
Because of this so are the Oni.
She's trying to get Scott and Derek.
Derek had an injury.
Fuck me.
I also tell her about my dad, Derek and Deaton going and how Allison tried to kill us. Eli becoming a werewolf and Talia's eyes glowing.
We head into the station which is empty. I follow her into my dads office where she lies Talia down on the sofa.
"We got a big ass problem." She says to Lydia and ... I don't know his name.
"Derek, Stilinski, Eli, Deaton, they're all gone." Malia says.
"What do you mean gone?" Lydia asks.
I haven't seen Lydia since her and Stiles broke up, I'm not going to make it awkward though.
"They were taken." Malia says.
"By who?" The guys asks.
"Oni." I say as Jordon comes into the room looking quite... messy.
I glance down at Talia.
"I need to get her safe." I tell them.
"Yes! Go get out." Lydia agrees as she smiles down at Talia.
"She's bigger now." She points out.
"Yeah. She's seven." I say and her eyes widen.
"Wow." She smiles.
"We don't have time for this!" Malia points out.
I pick Talia up and take some keys for a car outside.
My dads house, that's going to be safe right?
As much as Derek's gone. If someone comes looking for him, they'll check the house, where we would be.
So, I'm going to my dads house.
"I would help but I'm probably more nuisance than help. Honestly Talia is probably more help than I am." I say holding her to my chest.
"Be safe." I tell them and I hug Malia on our way out.
I strap Talia in to the back seat of the car and then head to my dads house.
I take Talia up to my old bedroom and let her sleep in my old room.
Since I moved out with Derek, I haven't spent much time up here.
I tuck her in and then head into Stiles room.
Funny how this all started with him and what 15 years later it's happening again.
He hasn't been here in a while either.
He doesn't visit as much since him and Lydia broke up.
When he does come back he plays lacrosse with Eli and paints with Talia. It's adorable.
I miss him.

Derek's POV
"Eli! Eli can you hear me?" I ask for the millionth time.
He wakes up slowly.
Thank god.
He looks around confused before taking a breath of relief.
"We're not dead." He points out.
"Not yet." Liam says.
"Where are we?" He asks.
"It's just an illusion." I tell him.
"How's your mom? Talia?" I ask and he nods.
"Malia got there. I think she saved them." He says looking around.
Thank god.
They're okay. Not dead. Safe.
Breathe.
Eli is here though and Nia is going to literally kill me for that even though I wasn't there.
"She'll be fine." Dad says and I try to look back at him. He's behind me.
"Despite everything she's always fine." He says and I nod. True but there's a reason for that.
"Because I was always there." I tell him.
"Yeah but she's got to take care of Talia, don't worry. They'll be okay. She's not stupid." Sometimes.
That doesn't stop me from needing and wanting to get to her. That's the first place I'm going once I get out, I don't care.
"This has happened before?" Eli asks.
"Yeah but instead of Allison it was Stiles." Dad says.
"Uncle Stiles?" Eli asks.
"Yep." I say sighing remembering that time.
It was so chaotic, worst period of our lives.
Stiles would go missing every free minute of the day. Nia was so emotional. Her crazy ex broke in, I killed him. It was insane. Her best friend died. Stiles was possessed.
God I need to get to her.
Check in.

Nia's POV
"Hey Talibear." I say as she slides beside me on the sofa.
I wrap an arm around her nuzzle into her side.
She giggles.
"Mommy I had the strangest dream. We were getting chased. Auntie Malia was there so was dad and Eli." She says and I just laugh.
"Sounds crazy to me." I smile.
When Derek gets back I'm going to tell her. I need that emotional support from him though.
"You hungry? I'll see what grandpa has." I say heading into the kitchen.
I just make some cereal and we sit at the table eating it together.
