Chapter8
"Transformation?" Scott and I both asked at once. Scott was freaked out, I was just plain confused. But if I was Scott, I'd be begging Allison to stop.
"I want him to be normal so we can be normal. I only want what's best for him." She said, looking up at Scott.
"You're hurting him, Allison. He could die from this." I said softly.
She turned to look at me so quick I thought her neck would have snapped. "I am not! I would never hurt him."
"He's in pain, Allison. From you."
She shook her head back and forth, tears in her eyes. "I'm not hurting him!"
"Stop it, Allison." Scott growled, looking down at her darkly.
She sniffed and wiped her cheek. She looked back at him with a scary expression on her face. "How would you know pain? Nothing bad's ever happened to you."
I took a step back. Now I was scared. "W-what are you t-talking about?"
She let go of Scott and moved towards me, making slithering movements. "Your parents never told you the truth, did they?"
I swallowed hard. What was she talking about? My parents always told me the truth. "Allison, I don't-"
"You were adopted, Sophia."
I shook my head, crying now. "No, I-I'm not."
She moved towards me, reaching a hand out to me. Shaking, I continued to move back until I hit the wall behind me. I gasped.
Allison stopped me from running from her by holding my shoulder against the wall. "My aunt was your mom. Derek killed her. I'm only getting even. Don't you want to do the same?"
"S-she's d-dead?" Was all I could manage to whisper. I was finally beginning to grasp everything. I was adopted. My real mom was dead. How was that even possible?
Allison wiped my cheek softly. "I know it's a lot to take in. I wish you didn't have to find out this way."
"Leave her alone, Allison. You've got your torturing in. You got what you wanted." Scott said, trying to break the bonds on his wrists.
"No, I didn't!" She yelled, making me jump.
"Take me." I whispered, shutting my eyes. "Just let Scott go."
She shook her head. "I'm sorry, Sophia. It doesn't work that way."
"Please." I whispered, my voice barely audible. "My mom would've wanted my help."
Allison took a deep breath and grabbed my hand. "I need him to stay here until the full moon. I need to make sure he's fully changed."
"Into what?" I asked softly.
She ignored my question and walked me to a simple chair beside Scott. She pushed me back into the chair and tied the belt around my waist. She bound it together in the back of the chair then she moved on to my arms. She tied down my arms and legs before walking over to Scott.
"Will you stay if I let you go?" She asked, stroking his cheek.
"I'm not leaving without Sophia." He said, watching me instead of Allison.
She untied Scott and he fell to the floor about a foot. She helped him to his feet and kissed him softly. "I want you back, Scott. I still love you."
He took a step back from her. "I don't know if I can still love you, Allison. I can't trust you."
She looked so hurt. Like he had slapped her. "Scott, please. Don't leave me."
"I'm sorry, Allison. I can't go back." He said softly. He kissed her forehead softly before walking to my side.
She stood there for a few minutes, crying. What was she thinking? Was she going to hurt Scott? Hurt us both?
She ran a hand through her hair before she left the room. She closed the door behind her and locked the door.
I looked up at Scott. "Derek's not human anymore, is he?"
Scott shook his head and swallowed hard. "I don't know what she did to me. I'm not even sure if I'll be human tomorrow morning."
"You don't even know what she gave you?" I asked, watching him free my hands.
"She's knows what she's doing and how to do it. She's unpredictable."
There wasn't much time before the sun set, I knew that much. So that meant there wasn't much time before Scott either lost all ability of becoming a wolf or he'd never say a word again. That must have been horribly scary to him.
Once I was completely free, I grabbed my phone from my pocket and sighed in relief. I had one bar. At least I could make a quick call.
I dialed Stiles' number quickly, getting ancy when he didn't pick up for the first three rings.
"Sophia, what is it?" He asked, a little annoyed.
I rolled my eyes and ignored the attitude. "I found Scott."
"You-Wait, I thought I told you to stay out of it." He said. I could hear his breathing picking up. What was he doing now?
"You did." I agreed. "But since you did such a bad job stopping me and finding Scott, I did your job instead."
"Where are you?" He asked, the car engine starting in the background.
"We're in the basement of Allison's house. Just-be careful when you get here. She's not exactly stable." I said, mumbling the last part.
"Anything else I need to be warned of?" He asked in a rush.
I thought for a second. Should I tell him about Scott or just wait? It was his best friend, I knew that. But what if Stiles didn't handle it well and something bad happened to him? I wasn't going to risk his safety. "No, not yet. Just get here."
"I'm on my way." He said before shutting his phone off. That was when my phone told me all connection was blocked. Perfect timing.
I looked back at Scott. "Your best friend is horrible at finding people."
Even tensed up and freaked out, Scott laughed. "He's trying. There's still credit to give."
I nodded and sat down beside him. I was suddenly so tired. I leaned against his side and it wasn't long before I was asleep, snoring lightly.
