Beacon Hills AU

WELCOME TO BEACON HILLS

Beacon Hills is a small town in the Northern part of California. It was once a thriving town that has fallen into disrepair. It is also, currently, the scene of a supernatural battle that has only just begun.

This is an AU Beacon Hills set during season 1 at this time. What's the same? Most things in this verse are set in Beacon Hills. All of the events up until the first episode are the same except one thing. It was Laura who was left a charred mess in the basement after trying to save her family, and Peter that took Derek from Beacon Hills before they were found by the hunters.

Now, six years later, things are going dark in the town. Someone has been killing people, and the power of the family is in turmoil.

***

Laura is pretty much where Peter was. Angry. Violent. Looking to take revenge on those that took her life from her. What do we already know about this verse?

* Peter and Derek were alive when Laura woke up
* Kate still seduced Derek to get the information about the pack
* Laura, in seeking to restart her pack, has bitten both Scott... and Stiles
* Laura is the Hale alpha

Is Peter alive or dead? We don't know. Maybe Laura has been alpha this whole time, alive but unable to act on it. Is Cora in South America? Maybe. This is pretty open right now. If interested, let me know.

Taken Characters:

* Laura Hale
* Scott McCall
* Stiles Stilinski
* Derek Hale
* Chris Argent

It had taken six long years for this moment. Moment by moment healing each and every cell in her body. The slow, painful reversal of time and age as it took its toll on her body. Somewhere out there, whatever remained of the Hale family had not returned, but that was fine by her. She was alpha. She was able to move once more. She was, in each and every night she snuck out, gathering more and more information about those that had helped the hunters, who had given them that accelerant that burned like napalm.

Now she needed the strength of pack behind her as well.

The woods felt good. The earthy loam beneath her feet, the scent of dirt and molding, dying things mixing with the nearly "green" smell of the plants that grew and flourished. Her abilities weren't as strong as they should have been but they were growing, becoming stronger with each day she spent sneaking out of the hospital under the watchful eye of a plain woman with a nursing degreee that had helped her hide the strength of her body and her nightly sojourns through Beacon Hills.

A new scent caught her attention. Warm, slightly spicy, with a hint of what she knew as fear. A smile curved her lips, loving how she smelled as she moved to follow the shadows, seeking him out.

One was a start. Two was on her way to having a pack. Three when she finally brought Derek in and Laura would be on her way to all she wanted now. A strong, powerful pack that would never have to fear hunters again. That meant securing beta number two.

Not that it was that hard. He'd actually been incredible helpful, though Laura suspected it wasn't his desire to do so. He was though following her as well, and while she might not be coddling McCall, she wasn't treating him like a wayward omega either.

"I know you're there, Stiles. I can smell you," she said, drawing out the words as she stopped by the sedan she'd been driving, turning to face the shadows.

It was the next day at school when Scott finally found his best friend and pulled him into the locker room. He hadn't even known how to explain to his friend about what happened so nope, just making sure no one is in the room before pulling Stiles into it.

"Dude, dude something freaky happened last night."

He had been in American literature when his cell phone had gone off with the news-feed alert. Added to the list of "Things Derek didn't Tell Peter" was that he had a weird news from Beacon Hills goggle alert going just to be able to make sure he knew if something was a threat to his sister that he needed to go back to.

Peter never really asked why Derek had chosen to go to the University of Arizona when he could have the pick of the Ivy Leagues along the East Coast. But it was the closest to California he could get without actually being IN California and still be in one of the top 50 English departments in the country.

But the image of the deer in the animal report caught his attention to the point where he left class right after the bell rang and went for his car. He always kept an emergency bag in the trunk, so he started on the four hour drive back to the town he hadn't seen in over six years, and as he pulled up in front of the burnt remains of his family home, he remembered why.

But that spiral was a message, and he intended to find out who it was from, and if it meant what he thought it meant.

The reports had been impossible to ignore and once Allison had returned to college after winter break; Chris had packed up and flown back to the one place he didn't want to be.

Beacon Hills.

The town itself didn't look all that different. Stores had changed, but the town itself felt almost the same. He'd chosen the residence carefully, the house large enough for himself and others, if they were needed, and stored his collection.

By nightfall, he was in the woods, following familiar paths to the wreckage that remained of the Hale house. He stood there for a moment, the remnants vanishing as he saw the house that had been there.

The people who'd lived there. He'd had no quarrel with them directly, and after Victoria had been killed, his only concern had been taking Allison away. They'd been across the country when the fire happened.

Allison didn't even know about it, and he intended to keep it that way. The wood creaked as he moved up the steps, one hand pushing the door open.

Actually, she likely shouldn't have opened the e-mail, but curiosity had gotten the better of her and as she scanned the lines, her first thought was to call her father, and she likely should have.

But he'd always avoided the subject whenever she asked about Kate and now getting an e-mail referencing her immiment arrival where she knew Chris was?

Not exactly something she could look past, and having a break starting at the end of the week? Perfect time for a trip.

She closed the e-mail and made the arrangements. She had a month before she had to register for classes anyway, and getting away from the snow sounded really good.

Three days later, her plane was landing and there was a rental car waiting for her at the airport to make the drive.

When she arrived, though, her first stop was the motel she'd gotten a room at before she went to get food and start taking a look around, specifically at the scenes she'd seen mentioned in the articles.

And the Hale house. She'd read up on that while she was looking into things.
