17 – So Help Me

Malia:

The other wolves had finally caught up with us now we'd made it back. Because they were just so much help back there. We walked into the house, met by the grumpy brute who looked like he couldn't wait to start a fight, and frankly I was looking for an excuse.

"No trail?" he asked, as I clenched my fists, only to have Isaac grab hold of hand and passing me a look tell me to stay calm.

"There was, but these wolves are clearly smarter than we anticipated." Isaac replied, Elena distracted by the blood splatters on my clothes and skin.

"Are you alright?" She asked, as I looked down at my sealed wounds, tensing up at the thought of the failed rescue.

"I've already healed, we should be focusing on finding Stiles now." I hiss, Chris walking into the room, alarmed at the mention of the missing boy.

"Stiles is gone?"

"One of them grabbed him, dragged him off. There was a car in the driveway." I began, turning to Clay, "I would've thought a house of werewolves would've heard it."

"Well we were distracted in making sure our own pack member is alright." He hissed back, crossing his arms and staring me down.

"Would you like join him?" I growled, his stare felt like he was challenging me, and if that's what he wants to do, then let him try.

"Let's all relax for five minutes, yes." Chris interjected, my attention turning to him instead of the brute.

"Well, these wolves have affected us as much as they have you now." Elena said, ushering Clay to leave the room, though he didn't seem too keen on obliging.

"Elena, we shouldn't be initiating fights with other packs." Jeremy said, looking begrudgingly at me, as though he thought all I'd brought was more trouble.

"They invaded our property and attacked a person." She replied, crossing her arms as she stared at her alpha.

"Yes, but we've already got so much happening, we don't need to add their problems to the list."

"Is it because he's human, you don't care he was taken." Isaac growled, gaining only silence in response. "You said yourself he wasn't."

"Yes, and your insistent he is. So, If I am to trust you, then he's human."

"And any excuse will do in order to not help him?" Isaac hissed, looking over to Chris whose eyes flicked from person to person. "Did you call-"

"He's already on his way, though I suppose I should call again now." He said, pulling his phone out and wandering back into the kitchen. I looked to Elena who seemed to be wearing a puppy dog expression.

"You don't have to see it as helping a human, we could just be stopped rogue mutts." She said, though Jeremy seemed to remain unconvinced, so much so that he left the room without a word.

"Well this day keeps getting better." I mumbled, Clay barging past to follow Jeremy upstairs. Elena simply bowing her head as I listened to Chris mumbling on the phone about Stiles.

"Even if they won't help you, you have my help." She said, my head flicking over to her. "Those wolves need to go."

"Thank you." Isaac said, Elena smiling and heading up the stairs. Leaving just me and Isaac in this suddenly over-sized room. I cross my arms, holding them close to me chest as my eyes scoured the room as though any of this unfamiliar territory would give me comfort. "We'll find him."

"I know." I said, hearing Isaac's calm heart. It felt like it was unintentionally calming me down, hearing his heart slowly pounding against his chest. "And we'll kill those wolves."

"Well Scott's on his way, so…"

"I will kill them. Regardless."

"Well if you kill them within the next three days, Scott won't be able to stop you." Chris said, wandering out of the kitchen, pushing his phone into his trouser pocket as he looked up at the two pups.

"Three days?" Isaac asked, Chris simply smiling at the boy.

"It'll take him three days to get here. So, if Malia's intent on killing anyone, she's got three to do it."

"I can work with that." I said, rushing out the front door and moving towards the car tracks left behind. "Let's see where you went."

A/N: Hullo, yes, it's been a long time since the last post. Sorry, about that, but seeing as weirdly people actually want to read this, I thought I'd actually attempt to continue it, so yeah…I make no promises, but I'll try v
