Scott got off the phone with Deaton and immediately texted Lydia, Kira, Allison, and Derek, telling them all to meet him at the animal clinic. All Deaton had said was that Scott needed to get there, and that someone was there that needed to talk to him about Stiles. Scott walked downstairs, and stopped when he heard Stiles' dad's voice in the kitchen.
"I just don't know what to do Melissa," his voice cracked as he spoke, "I can't lose my son. I just can't."
"We will find stiles, I promise. Scott will not let anything happen to him, Melissa replied, touching the sheriff's shoulder.
Scott sighed to himself and wondered if it was true, if he would be able to save stiles. He was really worried that he wouldn't be able to, but he knew he would try his hardest. He grabbed his helmet and walked out the door. He got on his bike and started driving to the clinic.
...
Lydia got Scott's message and immediately grabbed her things and ran out the door. Scott might want to speak to them about stiles, and Lydia couldn't lie to herself anymore, she was genuinely worried about him. For the past few months, she wasn't entirely sure how she felt about stiles. When she had first met him, all she saw was a hyperactive little kid with no lacrosse skills. But now she knew that he meant much more to her than that, and she was not ready to lose him without a fight.
...
Kira had fallen asleep across her bed. So much had been going on lately, that she hadn't been getting a lot of sleep. Her eyes slowly opened when she heard her phone buzz. She sleepily grabbed it and looked at the text she had received from Scott. It said to meet him at the animal clinic ASAP. She already knew it was about stiles, so she jumped out of bed, wide awake now, and ran downstairs. There she found her dad sitting alone in the living room.
"Dad, can I borrow the car," she asked him sweetly, giving him an innocent smile.
He looked up at her for just a second, then looked back down as he spoke, "Sure Kira, just don't stay out to late."
She took the keys and walked out the door. Her parents had been acting so weird since she found out about everything. She wish they wouldn't act so strange around her, but she had bigger problems at the moment. Stiles would need all of them.
...
Allison stood in the woods, aiming her bow at a tree. She had been out there as much as she could lately, still not over the fact that she hadn't been able to shoot at all for a while without completely missing. She had to get her skills back up to her expectations again. She was about to send the arrow flying when a buzzing in her back pocket caused her to jerk and completely miss the tree she was trying to hit. The arrow flew a ways then struck hard into the ground. Aggravated, she pulled out her phone to see who had distracted her. It was a message from Scott. The anger she initially had felt at the device in her hands immediately disappeared. Her heart still skipped a beat every time she got a message from Scott. She was confused by how her and Isaac were around each other lately, and she wasn't sure how she felt about him, but one thing she was sure of was that she was in love with Scott McCall, but it seemed like he had moved on with Kira, and Allison had to admit that it hurt her inside. She finally shook herself from her thoughts and read the message. He wanted her to meet him at the animal clinic. She knew it was to talk about stiles, but part of her wanted it to be for a different reason, and that made her feel guilty. She thought back to the first time her and Scott had talked, when she had hit that poor dog. Heat instantly rushed to her cheeks and she shook her head again. She could think about Scott later, right now she needed to help stiles. She liked stiles, he was funny, and very helpful, and most of the time seemed to be the only one of them who knew what to do. She wasn't far from the animal clinic and decided to just walk there. She looked down at her bow and sighed once again. Training would have to wait.
...
Derek was sitting on the stairs in his loft when he got Scott's text. He grabbed his jacket and started walking out the door, but stopped about halfway, looking up at the stairs again.
"Cora," he yelled in the general direction of her room.
Cora hopped down the stairs, her dark hair pulled into a tight ponytail. She looked at him with hopeful eyes.
"Is there any news," she asked him, trying not to sound too eager.
Derek smiled to himself. Cora had asked him to tell her if there was any news about stiles, good or bad. She wanted to know everything. He had texted her about everything that was going on, and she had come home from South America almost instantly. He had a feeling his little sister had a crush on stiles, much to his dismay. He hoped it never went anywhere. He couldn't even imagine stiles as his brother-in-law.
"Scott told me to meet him at the animal clinic. It might be about stiles. Do you want to come," he asked her.
She quickly ran back upstairs, and came back holding her jacket, walking past him towards the door.
"What are we waiting for," she asked him, "let's go."
She remembered when she had told Scott and his friends that all they did was find the bodies. The only condition she wanted to find stiles' body in was alive. She opened the door and started walking with Derek to whatever awaited them next.
