Kira's mom was standing in Scott's house after Stiles called, wanting to find out whether he really was himself or not. After kira tried stopping her mother, two oni's surrounded Stiles. The one is front of him grabbed Stiles' head and stared into his eyes. He let go of Stiles and disappeared into thin air.

"Quick, look behind hi ear" Kira's mom said as Scott, Melissa and Kira rushed towards Stiles. They looked behind his ear and saw a kanji for 'self'.

"It worked" Scott said relieved when he saw the mark.

"So, I'm actually Me?" Stiles asked as he sat up.

"More you than the nogitsune." Kira's mother answered.

"Can the oni find him?" Stiles asked.

"Tomorrow night. It's too close to dawn now" the woman answered Stiles.

"Can they kill him?" Stiles asked with a shaky voice.

"It depends on how strong he is."

"What about Astrid and Lydia? Why would he take them?" Scott asked, worried for the girls.

"He would only take them for an advantage" the older kitsune replied.

"You mean their powers?" Scott asked.

"The power of a banshee and the original tribrid."

Astrid woke up in a narrow corridor, lit only by dim lights. The wet flow beneath her made her shiver.

"Hello, sweetheart" the nogitsune said, crouching down in front of the vampire. Astrid grunted as she moved, her body aching.

"God, I hate you" Astrid sighed, looking the nogitsune in the eyes. Astrid looked to the left and saw Lydia laying on the floor, her eyes widening as she looked at the man with a mad expression.

"She's not dead." Nogitsune said in a deeper and hoarser voice than Stiles.

"Yeah...No shit Sherlock. I can hear her heartbeat" she spat back and the nogitsune looked at her surprised. "What do you need me for?" Astrid asked, standing up. The nogitsune stood up along with her.

"Well... You see. Vampires are strong and have extremely good senses. But you... you're also a werewolf and a witch which means that you're the strongest creature in the world." The nogitsune said.

"Stating the obvious" Astrid rolled her eyes.

"Tell me... What happens when a vampire is very... very hungry?" The nogitsune asked with a smirk. Astrid didn't say anything. "And what happens when the very hungry vampire is near a human?" He asked, grabbing a knife from his pocket and cutting Astrid's stomach. "Tell Me!" He yelled.

"They feed..." Astrid answered. "They... kill" she added.

He stabbed Astrid with the knife. When the wound healed, he stabbed her again and again, letting as much blood as as possible without dessicating her. She stood there, watching him weakly as he smiled at her.

"They're going to find me. If not my friends then my family... and I wouldn't wish that even for my worst enemy" Astrid threatened through gritted teeth as her eyes were glowing brightly.

"You think so?" The nogitsune asked. "I myself, was kind of wondering what they're doing right now. What useless lead they're chasing. I wonder if maybe some of them have bigger problems to deal with right now. Are they really spending every minute looking for you two? I mean, your brother doesn't even know what happened. Maybe they're waiting for nightfall? Focused on some hopeless gesture to pass the time." Astrid slid down the wall behind her and sat on the wet floor. The nogitsune looking down at her as he continued standing up.

"What do you want?" Lydia asked as she sat up, slowly. Astrid looked at her with teary eyes and walked towards her on her fours, already weak and a bit hungry. She hugged the strawberry-blonde and sat next to her, leaning on the wall behind her.

"More" he said as he stood up.

"More?" Astrid questioned.

"More What?" Lydia asked confused as she held Astrid's hand tightly.

"The trickster stories are all about food, Lydia" he said as he walked towards the two. "The coyote, the raven, the fox." He stopped and smirked at Astrid "the vampire... They're all hungry. I'm the same" he said as he crouched down in front of the two. "I just craved something a little different. I eat what you feel" he leaned closer to the panting redhead. "And I am insatiable". Astrid grabbed his shoulder and pushed him away from her and Lydia.

The nogitsune got mad and moved to Astrid just to break her neck. Lydia whimpered when Astird's lifeless body fell on her lap.

Scott, Stiles and Isaac were heading to where Lydia and Astrid were. Stiles was driving his blue jeep.

"Hey, you okay?" Stiles asked Scott who sat at the front with Stiles as Isaac sat at the back.

"Yeah" Scott replied. "Yeah. You don't have to worry about me."

"Alright, I'll say it. You look like you're dying." Isaac said bluntly, looking at Stiles. "You're pale, thin and look like you're getting worse. We're all sitting here thinking it. When we find the other You, is he gonna look like he's getting better?"

"What happens if he gets hurt?" Scott asked.

"You mean if he dies, do I die? I don't care" Stiles replied. "Just so long as no one else dies because of me. I remember everything I did, Scott. I remember pushing that sword into you. I remember taking All the pain away from Astrid. Damn, I even remember what caused Astrid so much pain. Even stuff from 998"

"It wasn't you" Scott said.

"Yeah, but I remember it. You guys gotta promise me. You can't let anyone else get hurt because of me"

There was silence in the car for 5 minutes until Isaac decided to break it. "Alright I have to ask." Isaac said. "What did you see from 998?" Isaac asked.

Stiles sighed loudly "her father."

998

Astrid heard her father shouting outside so she quickly rushed to where all the chaos was. She saw her father standing above Niklaus, his right hand turning into a fist as he stared at his son with hatred in his eyes.

"Foolish boy" the man said annoyed. He was about to hit Nik so Astrid walked in front of him, not wanting her brother to get hurt again.

"Father. Please stop" Astrid begged her father with tears in her eyes.

"Move, girl" he said sternly, his eyes now on her.

"N-no" she stuttered and whimpered as her father's eyes darkened while he stared at her, anger visible on his face.

"What did you say?" He asked, threateningly calm.

"No. Please, father. Don't hurt Niklaus again. He knows what he did was wrong. Please, I'm begging You, don't hurt him!" She cried, tears rolling down her cheeks as she stood in front of her father. Niklaus stared at her with wide eyes as he still sat on the ground. He never expected his younger sister to be the first one to stand up to their father. The rest of his siblings then walked towards the three, also staring at the girl with wide eyes. Henrik was holding Rebekah's hand as he was scared for his older sister. "Please... do not hurt him, father" she said again.

"Stupid girl" he said as he slapped her cheek before he walked away from his children. Astrid sighed with relief when she saw her father walking away. Her cheek stung but she ignored it.

She turned around and looked at her brother who looked at her with bewilderment. "Why did you do that, little sister?" Niklaus asked as he stood up and hugged his sister. His left hand was on her back while his right hand held her head to his chest as he kissed her forehead.

"I did not want him to hurt you again" she said as her tears soaked her older brother's shirt. The other siblings walked towards the two with sumpatheric looks, even Finn. The two pulled apart and stared at their siblings.

"That was really brave, Astrid" Henrik said as he hugged her sister while she sniffed.

"It really was" Elijah said as he also hugged her after Hernik pulled away. "The bravest one of us all" Elijah whispered in her ear.

"Her dad was a dick" Isaac said as he leaned back in the chair.

"He was. I'm already starting to forget all of her pained memories but there were many of her father. He was abusive to all of them... especially to Niklaus. After their mother turned them and Mikeal found out that Nik and Astrid are part werewolf, he was pissed. Niklaus killed his mother for suppressing his wolf side while Astrid watched. They then told their siblings that their father killed her and they all ran away. For centuries he was trying to kill them..." Stiles told the two. "I hate those memories. Most of her life was miserable."

"Well... they did kill their own mother" Isaac said, sighing.

"Yes they did but I don't blame them." Scott cut in. "I don't condone their actions but... Astrid once told me that when someone turns into a vampire, their impulses are harder to control. Which is why when many vampires are mad or sad, they go on killing sprees... they can't control themselves. That also happens to werewolves. Now imagine being both at the same time."

Astrid woke up with a migraine as she slowly got up from the wet floor. When she opened her eyes, Lydia and the nogitsune were no longer there. However, her hunger has gotten worse as her throat has also became more dry.

She groaned and she stood up, taking small steps, trying to control her hunger as she smelt multiple people not far away.

"Lydia!" She tried shouting but failed. Her eyes turned red but she closed them and they turned back to their green colour.

Astrid took a deep breath as her eyes turned bright yellow, black veins emerging under her eyes as she yelled. "Lydia!". She was pretty sure the dead could even hear her.

She almost fell back down when Someone grabbed her, holding her up. She turned around and saw Scott.

"Scott" she said with a smile.

"You're weak" he said with a worried look on his face. "Drink" he said as he put his wrist against her mouth.

Astrid pushed it away as she stared at him with wide eyes. "I can't. I'll lose control" she panicked.

"You won't." Scott said as he cupped her cheeks. "You won't lose control. Now please... Drink" he said again.

He put his wrist near her lips. Astrid grabbed it with her arms as she opened her mouth. Her fangs touching his soft skin. She impaled his skin and began sucking the blood out of his veins. She stopped after swallowing a couple times. Just enough to give her some energy back and to leave Scott some of his energy.

When Astrid pulled away, Scott's wrist healed and they smiled at each other. "Thank you" Astrid said as she grabbed his hand and began walking. "How do we get out?" She asked.

"Follow me" Scott said as he walked in front of her as she followed him.

When they managed to get out, they saw one of the oni remove a sword from Allison's stomach. Scott ran towards her as he held her in his arms, sitting on the ground. Astrid kneeled down next to them, tears blurring her and Scott's vision.

"Did you find her?" Allison asked, talking about Lydia when she saw Astrid next to her.

"She's safe" Astrid replied, stroking the girl's hair.

"I can't take away your pain." Scott panicked.

"It's because it doesn't hurt." Allison said as a single tear escaped her eye.

"No... No. No. No." Scott's voice cracked. "Astrid... Please help her"

"I- my blood doesn't work because of their swords. Remember when they hurt your dad?" Astrid sobbed, holding Allison's hand.

"But- you - You can still try" Scott said as tears rolled down his cheek.

Astrid bit on her wrist and put it near Allison's mouth but the brunette grabbed it and moved it away.

"No" she said weakly. "I'll die.... I don't want to become a vampire." She cried.

Astrid pulled her hand away, respecting her wish as tears rolled down her cheeks. "I'm sorry but I can't watch another person I care about die." Astrid got up and slowly walked away. She stood behind a building and leaned on it's wall as she sobbed.

"Scott..." Allison muttered weakly. "It's okay."

"Allison" Scott said quietly as he cried, trying to look into her eyes but his tears were blurring his vision.

"It's okay. It's okay." Allison sobbed. "It's okay. It's perfect. I'm in the arms of my first love. The first person I ever loved. The first person I'll always love. I love you. Scott. Scott McCall."

"Don't. Please don't." Scott sobbed. "Allison don't, please."

"You you have to tell my dad. You have to tell my dad. Tell him...." She then began stuttering and breathing heavily before her heart stopped. Her hand fell on the concrete ground as Scott sobbed, holding her in his arms.

Astrid was now sitting down, leaning on the wall behind her as she sobbed louder when she couldn't hear her heart anymore. It was a honourable death. Dying while saving her friends.
