Beacon Hills AU

[avenges]

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

"I'll bring her to town. What happens after that? I'm not going to get in the middle of as long as you stop hunting her tools." Chris kept his voice even, his gaze on the woman a step above him.

"And I don't blame you for wanting revenge, for wanting to protect what you have left, but this needs to be done more carefully if you're going to do it at all.

There are alternatives to killing the people my sister used as tools."

[avenges]

She considered that, watching him closely. She believed him. For what he said and was offering, she did believe him.

"And what about those tools when they come here to avenge her? Am I too stay tied by my affection for you then?" Which was admitting more than she had meant to, that she still did care about him.

"What alternatives? They won't answer to the law. You and I both know that.'

[redefining]

"They killed humans, not just wolves and you were there. They're not hunters, Laura, that much I can almost guarantee because that's not how we hunt. I won't say the hunters haven't crossed lines before, but that attack is different."

Sloppier for one thing.

"Protecting yourself is different from murder. I doubt they even knew the targets weren't human, which doesn't excuse what happened, but with the right approach, they'd probably confess to the fire.

And Kate is on her own."

"They present themselves as hunters," she corrected, giving him a look. "Just like your sister does. You can't pretend as if they're the exception as not the rule, Chris. Let's be honest. That is you, not them," she pointed out, wanting him to see that truth. He needed to realize what so many wolves went through and what they lost for nothing more than being different.

"I don't want them to confess. They killed people and did it cheerfully," she said, staring at him. "Chris, you are the exception and you are trying to play as if the world plays by your rules. I thought that way too, but that isn't what happens, it isn't how the world is."

[redefining]

"That bus driver wasn't one of ours." Chris exhaled a breath and looked up at her. "Kate...Kate takes after my father. I realized that years ago but I'm not exactly someone they listen to.

And after Victoria died..." He rubbed a hand over his eyes before dropping his hands back to his side.

"We're not going to agree on this even if I understand why you're doing it and I don't want to end up hunting you, Laura, I really don't.

But if you keep killing humans who aren't involved in this world, even if they helped my sister one time, I'm going to have to step in. Kate can handle herself, and hunters know the risks. I know the risks of taking on your kind, especially an alpha." quietly.

"For now though, let's stop arguing. This is getting us nowhere."

[avenges]

"He was involved. It was more than just hunters that covered it up, Chris. They lied. They coverd up the deaths of children. They can't be allowed to be forgiven for that, or for it to be ignored," she said, not willing to back down on that.

It was painful, but she couldn't deny her was right. "No, we aren't, and you don't want to make that mistake either, Chris." Because hunting her where her mind and heart were was a deadly proposition.

Her gaze was steady, just watching him. "You aren't the law, Chris, and you didn't step in while they were killers. Why is someone stopping them, making them pay so bad but their crimes were ignored?"

She wasn't arguining, not in her mind. She was speaking the truth.

[redefining]

"I wasn't even in town when the fire happened, Laura. While I may have suspected hunter involvement, I was on the other side of the country and Kate was my father's heir.

Who would have listened to me, and you know crimes can't be prosecuted without an admission of guilt or proof. The guy who's sheriff now? He's not the same one who was in office when the fire happened.

So find your proof and take it to him. Leave Kate out of it if you want since she was the mastermind.

She knows what she's up against."

[avenges]

"It's still been six years, and everyone was willing to ignore it. Forever. Even you," she said, hating how much that left her feeling hurt and broken a little bit more. Anyone she might have thought would be there in the end, and he hadn't been. She didn't even blame him, but that didn't make it hurt less.

"They all knew, Chris. They knew and they know. Now they know the result of murder. It comes back to you,' she said. "And I won't leave my town and my pack weak again. I was blind before. My mother was blind. We thought we could actually live in peace and be left alone. I know better now."

She suddenly smiled. "But hey, you said you didn't want to deal with the reality of it all, right? You came back here to kill an alpha and now you're unsure so, what should we talk about? How's Allison? She's doing well?"

[redefining]

"I didn't come back here to kill anyone." Not without proof and at the moment? It's not as black and white as it seems. Shades of gray were something he'd been working on since he'd walked away and this?

This fell into that. He couldn't blame her for her actions, for the revenge she felt she needed, given the cause of it and he rubbed a hand over his eyes.

"I'm here to investigate, not hunt. I gave that up, remember. And I didn't forget the fire, Laura. I visited you...every chance I got. It was a tragedy, a loss of life that never should have happened.

Maybe if I'd stayed, I could have stopped it, figured something out, I don't know, but I can't agree with your choices either.

I will at least not interfere." quietly. "That much I can do. I can look into it and let things proceed as they will. Nobody has any idea who's behind this, yet.

As for Allison, she's fine. She's living in New York, taking college classes. I don't think she's picked a major yet."

[avenges]

Truth was, she didn't believe that. He believed an alpha was out of control, and she suspected even in Chris' mind that meant putting them down. "Harmless" wolves were one thing. A killer was another.

"What did you expect to find then, Chris? A killer alpha and you were going to walk away?" She wanted to know what was going on, what he was going to do. She needed to know, for her sake and the sake of her pack.

"I remember you there. Once. Before that I didn't have a lot of memories, but I read the books. I know who came... and who didn't." And he had been there. Often. "I do... I'm glad you came, Chris. You're the only one that did," she admitted, knowing what that might say to him, to someone that knew a pack and how it should work. "Though, I'm not asking for you to agree. I'm doing what I need to, Chris."

She smiled then, true and honest. "I'm glad for her. She's so amazing. She always was."
