Chapter7

Scott

I woke up in a basement. I knew that much. Allison was injecting more serum into my veins, stopping the werewolf cells from meeting my human cells.

She smiled lightly at me when she saw me watching her. "I told you I wouldn't kill you. I meant that."

"I'd rather be dead than be with you again, Allison. You're nuts."

"I'm just trying to help everyone out here, Scott. What's so wrong with that?"

"Derek doesn't get to be himself anymore. He's an animal. That doesn't help him at all." I pointed out. Didn't she know that what she was doing was wrong?

"His uncle killed my aunt. I saw it, Scott. Derek's dangerous. I couldn't have him around to hurt anyone else." She said with no emotion in her voice. It was all in the tears in her eyes. Tears that didn't fall.

"And what does that have to do with me?"

She sighed and turned away so I couldn't see her face. "I just want you to be normal. So we can be normal."

"Love is supposed to be unconditional, Allison. That doesn't mean anything to you, does it?" I asked, feeling nauseous. Had she ever even loved me? When she found out I was a werewolf, nothing was wrong. Until now, I suppose.

"I loved you, Scott, even after I found out that you're a werewolf. When two people can be... people, it just makes things so much easier. On all of us."

"Please tell me you're not doing this for Kate."

"I'm getting revenge." She said, and walked back to me with another syringe. She stuck the needle in my wrist and squeezed the liquid out.

I didn't want to lie. Not now. But it seemed that was the only way I could get her to stop. I looked down at her, seeing the pain hidden in her eyes. "I still love you, Allison. I always have. Just because I'm half animal, half human doesn't mean I'd hurt you. I can control myself. Around you, around anyone. I haven't hurt anyone."

She walked back to the small table and stared down at the syringes. Only two left with serum in them. She grabbed the two and walked back to me. She avoided my eyes and didn't say a word. She injected one into my thigh, the other one into my side.

She pulled them both out quickly, dropped them on the table, and grabbed her bag from a chair by the doorway. "I'll be back first thing tomorrow. Get some sleep, Scott."

She flipped the lights out and left, her heels clicking every time she took a step.


Sophia

I wind was cold, blowing hard against my body. I shivered and stuffed my hands down deeper into my pockets.

I couldn't think of my plan when I was talking to Stiles. But it wouldn't have helped him anyway. He didn't know how the plan worked. And he would give himself up way to easily.

I knew exactly where Scott was. Scott and Derek even. It was only obvious once I thought about it and I knew that I couldn't tell Stiles. I wasn't planning on it.

No cars were in the driveway, good. I could get in easily. I snuck in and found the backyard. The basement wasn't far away.

I headed down, being quite as I walked. Who knew what would be down here? What if she was down here?

I paused at the doorway and peeked in. It was a simple room that was gross, dirty, and horribly dusty. I didn't doubt that I'd get sick from this.

Scott was in there, tied to a part of the wall. And so was Allison.

I swallowed hard and hid against the side of the wall. She left the room, not even seeing me. I took that time to duck into the room.

"Sophia, what are you doing here?" Scott asked in a quite voice. He was freaked. I didn't blame him.

I sighed and walked to his side, trying to figure out how to get him down. "I figured you'd be here. Derek's been here before. It seemed like an obvious place."

"You talked to Derek?" He asked, confused.

I nodded. "A long time ago."

Allison muttered something to herself out in the hallway and we both froze.

Scott's eyes widened. "You have to hide."

"No duh!" I whispered loudly. Where was I supposed to hide? There wasn't anywhere to hide...

I ran to the table and hid under it, not being able to be caught easily. I held my hands over my mouth to shield the noise of my loud breathing. I couldn't help it. I was nervous.

Allison walked into the room and looked at Scott. She frowned and narrowed her eyes. "How did you get loose?"

Scott lied quickly. It was obvious he was nervous. "You didn't hold me down very strong."

She walked over to him and fixed the belts holding him down. She kissed him softly but froze mid-kiss. Oh, no.

Allison gritted her teeth and stepped away from Scott. "Someone's down here, Scott. You lied to me." With a surprise I didn't see coming, she started crying, tears flowing down her face. "Why would you lie to me?"

Scott sighed, making it seem like he was telling her the truth. "I only want to be here with you, Allison. Even if someone was, couldn't we just leave?"

"You aren't leaving, Scott, get that out of your head now." She growled. She turned and stalked right to me. She grabbed my wrist and pulled me to my feet. She narrowed her eyes when she saw it was me. "What are you doing here?"

"I came to free Scott. You shouldn't be hurting him like this." I said softly. I was scared. Horribly scared. And I should have been. But I didn't want to be when Allison could so easily kill me.

She let go of me and walked back to Scott's side, reading the monitor with his heart rate. "Get out of here, Sophia. Don't make me hurt you."

"I'm not leaving until you let Scott go." I said, keeping a fairly big distance between myself and Allison. I didn't care if I knew her all too well. I wasn't taking my chances.

"Sophia, I said leave." She said, her teeth gritted together tightly. She was getting mad. Tears were filling up her eyes.

I took a step back and swallowed hard. "Let Scott go and I'll leave."

"I'm not letting you take him from me." She said, walking to his side. She took his hand and kissed him softly. She was possessive over him. When had she become that way?

I sighed, getting mad, and shut my eyes. "Why would you think I like Scott? I don't. I never have."

"He's staying here, Sophia." She said firmly. "Just until the full moon. I-I want to make sure he made the transformation."
