**Oak Creek Internment Camp** was an internment camp (then known as a "relocation camp") which was located on the outskirts of Beacon Hills, California, and in which Japanese and French immigrants, Japanese-American, and French-American citizens were forced to stay after the events of the Pearl Harbor attack in World War II. The camp, which was considered a prisoner-of-war camp by the residents within it, included such internees as the ancient Spirit Kitsune Athena Beaumont, ancient Celestial Kitsune Noshiko Yukimura, and then-Beta Werewolf Satomi Ito, among many others. In addition to the residents, the camp employed many military personnel, including the Army Medic and secret lover to Athena, Corporal Rhys, Army Military Police Merrick and Hayes, and camp physician Dr. Liston, along with a number of nurses.

## History

In 1943, it was revealed by Athena and Rhys that Merrick, Hayes, and Dr. Liston had been selling the medications used by the medical professionals at the camp's field hospital (which, after the war, became the mental health center known as Eichen House), such as an antibiotic used to treat the pneumonia epidemic, sulfadiazine, and painkillers such as morphine, on the black market. This revelation took place shortly after a young internee, Michio, died as a result of not getting the medication he needed, which led to Michio's father and most of the other internees to start a riot at the front gates of the camp. The riot came to a head after Merrick pistol-whipped Satomi across the face, causing her to lose control over her lycanthropy and transform in front of everyone. She snatched a Molotov cocktail out of Michio's father's hands and threw it at the car that contained Merrick, Hayes, and Liston, only for Corporal Rhys, who had nothing to do with the corruption, to be hit and suffered full-body burns.

Afterward, all of the military personnel began shooting at the internees, killing them *en masse*, while Athena, due to her accelerated healing factor, managed to survive the attack, though her heart rate slowed down so much that Dr. Liston believed her to be dead. The bodies of those killed, including that of Corporal Rhys, who died from the pain caused by his burns as a result of his fellow employees selling the morphine on the black market, and that of the still-healing Athena, were loaded up in a truck and driven into a field by Merrick and Hayes to be burned, as the leaders of the facility intended to cover up the riot. Athena, heartbroken and furious by what had been done to her and her people and knowing that she would soon be killed due to being too weak to defend herself, prayed to her ancestors for *kitsune-tsuki*, or possession by a Fox spirit; in this case, she wanted the spirit of a Nogitsune to possess her body, imbuing her with its power and allowing her to heal and take her revenge on the U.S. Army personnel who ran the internment camp.

Unfortunately for Athena, Fox spirits tend to have dark senses of humor, and so the Nogitsune possessed Rhys' corpse instead of Athena's healing body and decided to go on a rampage, causing chaos, strife, and pain on which to feed and get stronger. By the time Athena had healed enough to make it back to Camp Oak Creek, the Nogitsune had already killed the majority of the survivors of the riot, both employees and internees. Athena grabbed her magical *katana* from under her bed and chased the Nogitsune down, fighting it until her friend Satomi, who had also survived the riot, used her Werewolf strength to hold the Nogitsune down so that Noshiko could excise the Void Kitsune from Rhys' body, shattering her sword in the process. Afterward, Athena took the Nogitsune (who had taken the form of a fly that was trapped in a jar) and buried it in the roots of the Nemeton in the nearby nature preserve before coming back and hiding the remains of her sword, Rhys' body, and a photo of the two of them together into the wall of the basement of what would soon become Eichen House.

In the present day (November 2011), Camp Oak Creek was the site of a battle between the members of the McCall Pack, Athena Beaumont, the Oni she summoned, and the Nogitsune, who had kidnapped Lydia Martin the night before in order to use her Banshee powers to predict his own death. Allison Argent, Adella McCall, Cora Hale, Hayley Hale, Isaac Lahey, Josie Yukimura, and Kira Yukimura had a standoff with Athena and her Oni while Scott McCall and Stiles Stilinski rushed inside to save Lydia. The standoff led to a battle after the Nogitsune used the power of Athena's Necklace to take control of the Oni for himself, forcing Allison, Adella, Cora, Hayley, Isaac, Josie, and Kira to fight against them. Upon finding Lydia inside, Scott and Stiles frantically broke Lydia out of the cell in which she was locked, only for the panicked Lydia to demand to know who else came with them, as she had a Banshee premonition that Allison would be killed and attempted to prevent them all from coming to save her for this reason.

Outside, Adella, Cora, Hayley, Kira, Josie, and Isaac, were in the middle of the battle, fighting offensively, while Allison fought from the outskirts by firing arrows at the Oni to pick them off from afar. However, when Hayley was taken down and grievously injured by one of the Oni, Allison used her last arrow, which had a silver arrowhead made by her own hands as her testament to the new Argent Code and which miraculously killed the Oni before the Oni could kill Hayley. Unfortunately for Allison, her brief moment of distraction due to her relief that she actually killed one of the Oni ultimately cost her her life, as the sole remaining Oni materialized just long enough to stab the human huntress in the chest with their *ninjato* just before teleporting away. Allison ultimately died in Scott and Adella's arms, surrounded by her devastated friends, which was when the Nogitsune determined that it would be a good time to end the battle to reconsider his options.
