[There is wrestling, fighting, giggles in the background] Lizzy, I need the phone, I gotta talk to Mallie! [Lizzy takes the phone, giggling] Hi Mallie, it’s Lizzy Grayson and I l wov you so much! Guess what I did today? I saw a lightning storm and there was rain and stuff too, the thunder didn’t even scare me! Isn’t that cool?! [giggling is here, a shift of the phones] Hello there, Miss Mallie, it’s me! Sorry, Lizzy got the best of me, as she always does! [laughs, giggling in the background] We just wanted to call and say hey, see how you were doing, because we love you oh so much. We want to go out for another ice cream date soon, I hope you’re game. Lizzy is dying to see you again, as I am! [Lizzy in the background, WE CAN HAVE A TEA PARTY, MALLIE! Tessa laughs] Yes, tea parties! Fun, fun, fun! Okay, well, I gotta go finish the current tea party I’m here with Lizzy, but we’ll talk soon, okay? Be safe out there, I love you so much, my bright spot of Beacon Hills. You’re the best, Mallie. I’ll see you soon. [Lizzy and Tessa both say, LOVE YOU!] 

Malia felt her heart drop. News in Beacon Hills traveled fast, especially among small groups of people. It didn't take long for Malia to notice the absence of the heartbeat of the lovey Tessa Grayson. Too much had happened tonight and it was overwhelming for the young coyote. Curled up in a ball, she hugged her knees close to her body and sat in the corner of her room. It wasn't possible. Tessa. The girl who could light up an entire room with her smile. The wonderful sister to the adorable Michael and Lizzy. Malia was in denial; she wouldn't accept the fact that Tessa was gone.

[the phone rustles, screams, whimpers are heard in the background, the sound of someone being dragged away, being thrown into something hard, a scream, a distant male yell, and then a struggle] …Jo-John! JOHN! It’s Te-Tessa, pl-please…Please come into the w-woods, if you get this…[screams again, whimpering out] …J-John, help, PLEASE! If…[her voice breaks] If…this is the last…[a punch is heard, a whimper] …I love you, J-John…I…[another crack, Tessa out of breath and then crying, yelling from her voice screaming, “NO! NO! NO!] and the phone cuts out for good. 

After what happened today, John wanted to go home and sleep. Oh how badly he wanted to sleep. But sleep rarely came to him. Instead, sleep only happened when things were good and recently, they hadn’t been. Laying on his bed in Thomas’ apartment, John rested his arm over his eyes as he felt his phone buzz. Ignoring it, John didn’t move. It was probably just his mom trying to get ahold of him. 

A few hours passed and unsuccessfully, John managed to find himself in the land of the wake. He wanted to desperately sleep. He hurt so much from the fight he had with the Royal beta. He wanted to sleep it away. Picking up his phone, John saw that he had a voicemail from Tessa. Curiously, he hit the play button.

Listening to the message, the phone fell from John’s hand as he saw in bed shock. What? Did that just… Picking it back up, he quickly scrambled to replayed it seeing if it was real or a prank. Was he dreaming? Was this some sort of sick joke? Taking a deep breath, John looked down at his wounds and then pinched himself. No, it wasn’t a dream. 

Picking his phone up with a shaky hand, John felt a sob breaking out through his chest. She’d asked for him. Asked for him to do something to save her but he’d done nothing. What had happened? Instead he’d been fighting between two people and then trying to sleep. Maybe if he’d been awake and actually answered his phone, Tessa would be there. 

The phone fell from his hand as the sob broke through his chest. No one understood their relationship. It was different. Very different. They started out enemies and then they became best friends. To lose her…to lose her…John wasn’t sure what was going to happen. His brother was missing again, Helen was dealing with the things as well as Ashlyn and Emma. It was just like before, the same as before.

Everyone who terrifies you is sixty-five percent water.

And everyone you love is made of stardust, and I know sometimes

you cannot even breathe deeply, and

the night sky is no home, and

you have cried yourself to sleep enough times

that you are down to your last two percent, but

nothing is infinite,

not even loss.

You are made of the sea and the stars, and one day

Adrian wasn’t sure where he was, or why he was there. He looked around, it just seemed like a warehouse - but why was he there? He heard whimpering from around something, he moved around into an open around. Finding Tessa tied up, he let out a yell. Her eyes met his, Adrian attempted to run towards her but he hit something. He didn’t know what - but he couldn’t get to her. It was like something was stopping him from getting to her. She was crying and her eyes pleaded for him to save her. “I told you to stop her from seeing Derek,” a voice said, coming out of shadows behind Tessa. “I told you, and yet - you didn’t listen.” Peter hummed, Adrian couldn’t see what he was holding. “So, enjoy the show.” He let out an evil smirk, Tessa screamed - her banshee scream.
