Chapter Thirty-Six
🦊 The Divine Move 🦊
Ethan cringed in pain as Aurora held a lighter to a wound in his back. "Should be fine in a couple hours- unless whoever shot you manages to find you again." Aurora said as she stepped back, closing the lighter and Aiden sighed before walking past them.
"Lydia's with Scott. We need to go." He said and Derek raised his eyebrows, "You're gonna try to convince her to go with you?" He asked making Aiden stop. "I'm gonna try and convince her to run and hide, like any sane person would do." Aiden said and Aurora nodded slightly and raised her eyebrows, "What about Danny?" She asked.
"Allison's dead. Stiles is dying. What do you think?" Ethan asked and Aurora shrugged slightly, "I think Danny won't believe you... And I know that Lydia would never run and hide." She said. "Because of Stiles?" Aiden asked, "Because of Scott." Derek said and Aurora nodded.
"You've been trying to find a way into his pack. Trying to earn his trust. Trying to fight for him. You've had it wrong this whole time. You don't fight for a leader- you fight for a leader's cause." Aurora said and Aiden shook his head slightly, "What cause?" He asked.
"Scott's always been about one thing- saving his friends. He will do anything and everything to save the people he cares about." Derek said and Aurora nodded, "When there's no chance of winning? He keeps fighting. When all hope is lost? He finds another way. And when he's beaten down, he stands up again." Aurora said and Derek raised his eyebrows.
"You want to earn a place in his pack? You want redemption? Find another way to stand and fight!" Derek said making the twins glance at each other.

Void sat on top of the stairs with two Onis behind him as Derek and Aurora walked up, Derek carrying the triskele box. "Did you bring us a present?" Void asked as Derek set down the triskele box as the twins up behind them.
"We brought two." Derek said and Void raised his eyebrows, "I've heard of an Alpha Pack, Derek, but not a pack of former Alphas with someone whose not even a real witch... It's a little sad, isn't it?" Void said and Aurora chuckled.
"You don't need to be an Alpha or a real witch to know how to fight." Aurora said and the Oni swung their swords around while the werewolves all let out small roars before running forward. An oni ran up to Aurora, swiping it's sword at her but she just stepped to the side before throwing her arm out making it go flying into the wall.
"Where the hell are they?" Ethan called out as he knocked down an Oni, "The Jeep's here. They have to be somewhere." Aiden said. "In the school!" Derek yelled after he punched an Oni down.
"You have to get on the box. Someone get on the box!" Derek yelled making Aurora and Aiden look over at it before two Oni's suddenly appeared next to it. "I hate ninjas." Aiden said before letting out a slight roar while Aurora rolled her shoulders slightly before walking towards the Oni.
One of the Oni's ran at her, swiping it's sword at her making her step back before kicking it's side. She grabbed it's arm, twisting it slightly before kicking it's legs out from under it. She flicked her hand out slightly making the Oni slide away from her.
"We can't do this! We can't beat them!" Aiden said and Aurora glanced at him, "Take the box, we'll hold them off!" She said. "Aurora!" Derek yelled making quickly spin around, pressing her hand to an Oni's chest. "Solis." She said and her hand glowed brightly before a moment before the light seemed to trail from her hand, into the Oni's chest.
The Oni's chest glowed brightly for a moment before it's entire body erupted in a burst of bright light. All that was left behind was a firefly on the ground that she went to step on but before she could it quickly got surrounded by black smoke before forming back into an Oni making her sigh.
"That's so unfair."
Before she could do anything, an arrow shot past her, embedding itself in the Oni's chest. Aurora's eyes widened and she took a step back as a glowing yellow-green lightly shined around the arrow. Aurora glanced back to see Argent holding up a cross bow before Isaac jumped down onto the stairs. The Oni ripped out the arrow before suddenly exploding in a puff of black smoke. "What was that?" Ethan asked, look up at Argent, "Silver."
"Isaac, the box! Get the triskele box to Scott!" Aurora called out making her brother run over to get the box.
An Oni ran at Derek but Derek grabbed its arm, twisting it behind it's back before Argent shot it with another arrow. An Oni turned around as Argent shot at it but before the arrow could hit it, the oni sliced it in half. "Get the arrow! It's the last one!" Argent called out and Aiden quickly ran forward, sliding under the Oni before grabbing the arrow.
He quickly got up, stabbing the arrow into the Oni's chest making it explode into a puff of black smoke. Aiden's eyes flickered slightly as blood leaked from his mouth while he looked down at the sword in his stomach. "Aiden!" Ethan yelled as Aurora's eyes widened while Aiden pulled the sword out.
Aurora quickly and gently grabbed Aiden's arm, smiling sadly at him as she carefully lowered him to the ground. She looked up as Ethan, Derek and Argent walked over to them making. Aurora stood up as Ethan kneeled down next to his brother.
"Doesn't hurt you as much as it hurts me?" Aiden asked weakly and Ethan nodded, "Yeah..." Ethan said in a slightly whisper before letting out a small sob as he leaned his head against Aiden's. Derek grabbed Aurora's hand making her wrap her other arm around his, leaning her chin on his shoulder.
"It's okay... Lydia never believed I was one of the good guys, anyway..." Aiden said weakly making Ethan chuckle sadly, "She'll believe us." Derek said. Aiden's breathing weakened as he let out a painful cough making Ethan lean his forehead against his brother's head, comfortingly shushing him.
Aiden's body slowly fell limp making Ethan sob softly before gently lowering Aiden's body to the ground. Aurora stared at them for a moment before taking a deep breath, blinking away some tears. Trying to not think about how she felt when her twin brother had died.
Lydia ran out the doors of the school with everyone else following behind her. She froze at the top of the stairs seeing Ethan crying against his brother's chest making her gasp quietly as tears welled up in her eyes. She let out a shaky breath before spinning around and burrowing her face into Stiles's shoulder as Stiles instantly wrapped her arms around her.

"You got everything?" Aurora asked after Isaac walked into the livingroom with a suitcase, "Yeah, I think so." He said before looking at his sister. "Are you sure you're okay with this?" Isaac asked and Aurora sighed softly, "Because if not then I'll stay." Isaac said and Aurora smiled sadly and shook her head.
"I'm not okay with not being able to see my little brother everyday, but I'm okay with knowing that you're away and safe from the town crawling with dangerous supernatural creatures." Aurora said and Isaac sighed. "I'll call you, a lot." He said and she scoffed, "You better, or else I'll have Argent ground you until your thirty-two." Aurora said making Isaac chuckle.
Aurora pulled him into a hug making him tightly wrap his arms around his sister. A tear slowly fell down Aurora's face before she took a deep breath and pulled back slightly before grabbing Isaac's face. "Be careful and have fun in france, okay?" Aurora said and Isaac nodded making her smile softly.
"I love you, little brother." She said and he smiled at her, "Love you too, sis." He said and she smiled and let him go before wiping a tear away. "Now, I think theres a few others that you need to say goodbye too." Aurora said before turning around to look at Leah and the twins. Both Ronan and Maeve looking like they were on the verge of tears as they looked down at the ground.
Isaac sighed softly before walking over to them and crouching down in front of the twins. Isaac didn't even get to say anything before both twins nearly attacked him in hugs. After a moment Isaac pulled away from the twins before standing up to hug Leah. Aurora wrapped her hand around her necklace and smiled sadly as she watched her family.
"Protege eos usque in sempiternum." Aurora whispered softly as her necklace glowed slightly.
