This is my take on what should have happened after Scott died at the library and Melissa saved him. This is inconsistent with the other chapters and is a one-shot of its own.


"Deaton, can you please come to the clinic? It's Scott. I don't know why he isn't healing." Melissa almost yelled at the vet.

She couldn't help but panic. Just 2 days back, her son had died for 15 minutes and now, once again he seemed to be dieing. This time Melissa didn't have anything to do.

"I'll be there is 15." The vet cum emissary replied.

"Thank you." She stepped on the pedal to go faster.

Scott was supposed to heal. Yes, this wound had killed him and was very fatal but he was still a werewolf. He should have healed atleast a little bit. Melissa stopped her thought process before she had a panic attack.

In a few minutes, Melissa was entering the clinic with a very injured and barely walking Scott. She laid her son on the table and held his hand whispering calming words. All she could do was wait for Deaton to arrive.

Time skip to after Deaton arrived

Melissa heard the vet gasp.

"What happened to him?" He asked.

"Theo." Was her only reply. Deaton nodded and went to check on Scott, who had slipped into unconsciousness by now.

His face grew more and more grave and that scared Melissa. Her son couldn't die on her like this. She wouldn't be able to live without him.

"Unfortunately, I cannot do anything that can help him. The only person who can help him is himself." Melissa shot the vet a confused look to which he replied, "It seems that Scott is feeling guilty of what happened. He blames himself for what happened. He is not allowing himself to heal."

Melissa felt some tension leave her body. Atleast it was within them to do something. Although, to convince her son that he was not to blame was a very difficult task, but it was something.

"He has to allow himself to heal. If he doesn't heal soon, I am afraid there's nothing we can do to keep him alive. At most, he's got two days if he doesn't start healing." That did it. Melissa couldn't stop her tears anymore. Her boy was going through so much. He was so young to go through all this.

Deaton came behind her chair and put a reassuring hand on her shoulder. After a few minutes, Melissa recomposed herself. She wouldn't let him go this easily. He was stuck with her forever.

"Is there something we could do?" She asked Deaton.

"He needs his pack with him. He needs to know that they are still with him."

Melissa nodded. "I'll go get Stiles." She got up and walked towards the door when she heard a small voice behind her.

"Mom." It was Scott. The nurse ran towards his bed and stood beside him. Her hand going through his hair slowly. "Please don't tell Stiles. Or Liam. Or anyone. Please mom. I don't want them to come with me just because I'm dying. Please mom. I want them to come back with me because they want to." Scott was barely able to speak.

Melissa shook her head. Of course. She should have known. She went to argue but Deaton shook his head. "It wouldn't work if Scott thought that they came back because they had to." He'll still feel guilty and not heal." Melissa sighed and looked at her son but he was unconscious, once again.

'You have to heal Scott. Please. I cannot lose you.' Melissa thought and looked towards Deaton for help. He shook his head. Melissa slumped on the chair. She sat there with her head in her hands for about ten minutes before she heard Deaton say something.

"There's one thing you can do." Melissa whipped her head up so hard that she almost sprained her. She shot the vet a hopeful and expectant look.


Sorry for the cliffhanger but I wrote this a few days back and now I can't find the time to continue it.

This story is not beta read so all mistakes are mine. I apologize for them and would appreciate if anyone could point them out for me. :)

I'll try to update the next part by next week, but if not, I'll definitely update it by 20th November, after my exams get over. Anyways, thanks for reading. Leave a review! :-)
