Chapter 3: The Return
Beacon Hills
In the morning at the McCall house, there was a knock on the door. Knock, knock, knock...…..Alex knocked on the door and called his aunt Melisa McCall.
Alex: Hey, is Aunt Melisa there? It's Alex.
Scott's mom Melisa McCall rushed out to open the door.
Melisa McCall: Hey Alex, hi. My condolences to you about your parents. They are good people.
Alex: It's okay. I've come to terms with it. There's nothing to worry about.
Melisa McCall: Okay, I'm glad to hear that. I'll call Scott to come over. We were close when we were kids, right? With Stiles.
Alex: Yeah, I haven't seen them in a long time.
Alex: Yeah, we were very close. But it's been a long time. It feels weird to be back here again.
Melisa walked back into the house and soon called Scott.
Melisa McCall: Scott! Alex is here for you.
Scott quickly got up and walked to the door.
Scott McCall: Alex! It's been a long time!
Alex smiled and walked over to Scott. They smiled back at each other.
Alex: Yeah, Scott! It's been a long time, my life has changed a lot, but it's nice to be back here.
Scott McCall: Yeah... This town is quiet, there's so much to do.
Alex sits down at the kitchen table with Scott and they start talking about what's been going on lately.
Scott McCall: So where do you live now, man?
Alex: I own a building in town.
Scott McCall: Wow, that's awesome, bro. Are you going to study here?
Alex: Yeah, I'm coming back to study here.
But before they can ask anything more, Melissa walks in and offers them coffee. The conversation seems to ease up for a while, until Stiles arrives home, his usual antics.
Stiles: "Who parked that fancy car in front of your house, Scott? Did you sneak off to work and not tell me!"
Scott: "Easy, Stiles. That's Alec's car. He's back in Beacon Hills."
Stiles: "What! Alec? Oh my god! I haven't seen you since we last played hide and seek in the woods!" "You know, I remember hiding behind a big tree and you jumped on me and knocked me flat on my face! So embarrassing!"
Alex: (laughs) "I remember, you screamed so loud that all the animals in the forest knew we were there!"
Stiles: "Yeah, and then we got scolded by Melissa for coming home late!"
Melissa: (walks over with coffee) "Don't think I forgot, you two were troublemakers when you were kids!"
The three of them laugh, but the atmosphere soon quiets down a bit as Alex starts telling a more serious story.
Alex: "But seriously, you guys... The last time I was here, I felt like something was wrong in that forest. I'll never forget that feeling. It was like something was watching us."
Stiles: (smirks) "Oh no, don't tell me you're telling me ghost stories now!"
Scott: (getting interested) "What do you mean, Alex? Did you see anything in the forest then?"
Alex: (hesitates before speaking) "I don't know for sure... but there were shadows moving around us. I thought it was just my imagination, but after my parents died, I started to wonder if it had something to do with something they were hiding."
Stiles: "Okay, you're starting to scare me! Don't tell me you're telling me what secrets this town has!"
Scott: (turns to Alec) "So what do you plan on doing now? Are you going to investigate this?"
Alec: "Yeah, I think I need to go back to the woods again. I need to know what really happened, and I think I need your help."
Stiles: Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Just before I got here, I heard my dad talking on the phone about a half-body body in the woods, so do you guys want to have some fun?
After Stiles finished speaking, the three of them were stunned for a moment. Melisa, who was standing next to them, started looking at Stiles with an annoyed look.
Melisa: "Stiles! Stop talking about it! Your dad can't talk about things like that. This is serious!"
Stiles: "No, my dad said it was an investigation, but he said there was a half-body body in the woods... Don't you think that's weird?"
Scott: "I can't believe it, Stiles. But there's something really weird about this woods."
Alex sat there, lost in his thoughts. He felt something he couldn't explain. He sensed something was waiting in the shadows of Beacon Hills, in the forest.
Alex: "Maybe... Maybe we should check it out."
Stiles: "Cool, man. What do you think, Scott? Want to come with me?"
Scott: It's only for a short while because it's the first day of school tomorrow and there's a practice for the first team of lacrosse. I don't want to be a substitute for the rest of the season.
Stiles: Okay, let's go guys.
Melissa gave them a displeased look, but didn't stop them.
Melissa: "Be careful... Don't do anything dangerous."
Everyone looked at Melissa in silence before the sound of a car came from outside.
Stiles: "Let's go! Bring us some fun!"
The three of them walked out of the house and headed towards the forest. The atmosphere was getting darker, the sky was turning a deep purple, a sign of change and insecurity.
As they walked into the forest, Alex felt something in the air, a feeling of being watched from afar. The sound of their footsteps became a loud noise in the silence, only the light from the flashlight reflected in the darkness.
Alex: "Be quiet... "I feel like something's watching us."
Stiles: "Okay, I hope it's not a ghost!"
The three of them walked deeper into the forest, with Alec leading the way. Fear began to grip them all as the air grew colder and the sounds of the animals in the forest died down.
Alec: "This is where I felt it."
Scott: "How close are we?"
Alec: "I'm not sure... but there must be something hiding here."
Suddenly, they heard something coming from the forest. The sound of branches breaking and footsteps approaching Stiles.Shocked and looking around quickly
Stiles: "Hey... Did you guys hear that?"
But before he could say anything, they saw a light coming from ahead, coming from a figure standing in the darkness.
It was a shadow of a person... or something that wasn't human.
The three of them stood still, feeling the horror spreading throughout the forest.
Alex: "We have to get out of here now..."
As soon as Alex finished speaking, the silence around them turned into a loud noise. The figure was still standing in the darkness, its unusual appearance staring at them.
Stiles: "Hey... What is it?"
Scott: "I don't know... But we shouldn't be here anymore!"
Everyone started to take a quick step back, but the figure still stood there motionless. Until their flashlights shone on the shadowed area, they saw something even more horrifying—it was a dark, non-human figure. It was large and unusual. It had long, sharp claws, like a wild animal that they had never seen before.
The sound of rapid footsteps started to get louder as it got closer. They turned and ran immediately. Stiles screamed as he ran.
Stiles: "Run! We have to get out of here!"
Alex, who was running ahead, heard something quickly following them. The sound of branches breaking and heavy footsteps as if a large animal was chasing them. They ran as fast as they could until they thought they were safe, but they still felt something following them.
Scott suddenly stopped running and looked back in shock.
Scott: "It's following... It's following us!"
Alex turned back and saw the dark shadow chasing them closer. But as he was about to run away, something rushed towards him quickly. They saw long, sharp claws shooting out from the shadow. Scott's body was scratched hard on the stomach. The scratch was deep and blood was flowing out.
Scott: "Aww! It's scratching me!"
Alex turned around immediately and rushed to pull Scott out of there.
Alex: "Hurry! We have to get out of here now!" But during that time, Alex started to feel a sharp pain in his head. The memory that God had sealed off was released. Alex remembered and knew how capable he was. While thinking, the monster, or the werewolf, rushed towards him. Alex, who had just regained his memory, started using his vampire power to fight it by swinging it as far as he could. Alec shouted into the air. Kiba came out after Alec's voice ended in the darkness, there was a flapping sound of wings.
Kiba: Finally, this moment has come, partner.
Alec: Hmm, that's right. Let's begin the fight. Transform!!!! Kiba flew towards Alec and bit his hand, which had the imprint of King, which was a symbol of his power. The pain from the bite caused Alec's power to spread throughout his body, as if it was beginning to awaken from a long slumber. Then, strange patterns began to appear on Alec's body, which then disappeared, replaced by Alec in the Kamen Rider Dark Kiva outfit.
Alec: "Alright partner, let's take care of that guy!" Kiba: Let's begin.
Suddenly, the werewolf charged at them with terrifying speed. Its long claws aimed accurately at Alec, but Alec used Dark Kiva's summoning power to release the symbol of darkness, pinning the werewolf down. As Alec was about to take care of it, he felt powerless, and then he transformed back into an ordinary human. The werewolf quickly backed away in fear.
Dark Kiva wasn't bad for his first transformation.
Alex: You go back home and wait for me. Dark Kiva: Okay, partner.
Scott and Stiles: Hey, Alec. What's wrong with you?
Alex: "It's hard to explain, but I promise I'll tell you all, but for now, you need to treat your wounds, Scott.
Scott nodded weakly. He felt pain in his stomach from the werewolf's claws, but he still tried to smile at his two friends.
Scott: "It's okay, Alec... You guys saw who was hurt the most. It was me."
Alex turned to Stiles and nodded.
Alex: "Stiles, go find something that can stop the bleeding, Scott."
Stiles quickly grabbed a cloth from his bag and ran to Scott to help bandage the wound as quickly as he could. As the two treated him, Alec stood at a distance, looking out into the deep forest. He still hadn't forgotten what had happened, and he knew that this wasn't over with the fight with the werewolf.
Stiles: "Okay, bandage it tight, but it's not enough... We need to go back home and find a way to help each other."
Scott: "Yeah... We may not be able to stop this easily, but we need to find answers."
Alex: I know... You guys can see that we're up against something extraordinary." He turned to look at the forest again. "
Stiles: "Whatever it is, we'll face it together."
Alex: "Let's go... We need to send Scott home first."
Alex's building
Dark Kiva flew up to Alex and greeted him. Hey buddy, why don't you go and check out the gift from God that you asked him for?
Alex walked to the center of the room and saw a large drum on the table. Alex knew what it was. It was a Rider belt.
Dark Kiva: Alex, I know this world from your memories and it looks like a really fun world.
Alex: Hey Dark Kiva, do you think you can beat Peter Hale right now?
Dark Kiva: I can't tell from your memories, Peter. Right now, it seems like he's not fully in control of his Alpha powers. Plus, it's not like what you've seen before because I'm starting to feel like Fang Gaia is starting to come to this city.
Alex began to feel shocked by what Dark Kiva had said. Alec thought so much that he fell asleep.
In Beacon Hills Forest
Peter Hale, who had just returned to human form, was angry at Alex's actions.
Peter: What is that thing? It smells so strange. But never mind. I won't let anything ruin my plans. Peter roared into the sky.
