So I did, I left and hoped I never saw his scrawny little-
"What was that all about?"Malia asked me.
"Nothing. I'm fine."
"Liar."
"I don't want to talk about it."
"Did you date a younger guy?"
"Look, he is not younger."
"He is a freshman."
"I know. I just scored really well on my test."
"You're 15?!"
"Yeah."
"Ok then." Malia mumbled and walked towards the algebra classroom. I stopped at my locker to grab my textbooks. The bell rung as I cursed under my breath and ran to class.
"Alexa!" Ms. Fleming called, "You're late."
"Yeah, sorry."
"Don't let it happen again."
"Alright volunteers to the board. Lydia, Diego, Malia." Lydia jumped up from in front of me and I could have sworn I heard Malia growl.
"Spill." Stiles commanded, sitting next to me.
"What?"
"What is it with you and Liam?"
"Say his name again without the word death in it, and I will strangle you."
"Oh you can tr and strangle me, but-" I cut him off by bending his finger which was pointed at me.
"I will try and succeed."
"Okay, just please tell me."
"No."
"You do realize that my dad is the sheriff and I have the ability to look at your records."
"Which records? Macaela Bose? Meghan Kashka? Jordan Scot?"
"Okay I get it." Stiles said as his phone vibrated.
xXx
We exited the classroom and met Scott and Kira at Stiles' locker. We walked hurriedly towards Scott's locker.
"An axe murderer?" Kira questioned.
"A family murdering axe murderer." Stiles replied.
"Oh that's not a mouthful." I remarked.
"I already heard." Scott said, worried.
"Wait. What? You did? How?" Stiles practically yelled.
"My mom called me. She knew we'd see it on the news." Scott informed us.
"Perfect lets go."
"Stiles wait." I reluctantly said.
"What?"
"We've got econ in five minutes."Scott told him.
"Alright, did you forget the part about the family- murdering axe murderer?"
"Stiles." I said. I saw the devil out of the corner of my eye. I still can't believe he did that to me. Embarrassing me in front of all of the 7th grade.
"Alexa?" Scott said, touching my shoulder, a shock of heat rushed through my body.
"Stiles, just to warn you, you are going to hear a lot of noise during the MRI. It's due to pulses of electricity going through metal coils inside the machine. If you want we can get you earplugs or headphones." I heard someone say. I opened my eyes and looked up at the blue lights. I looked to my left and right just to see the same thing, white plastic and blue lights.
I sat up and I was on a medical bed. Stiles, Scott, a doctor , and two other adults. They walked out of the room, but Scott stayed. I hopped off the bed and a shudder of fear rushed through my veins.
"You know what they are looking for right? It's called frontotemporal dementia. Areas of the brain start to shrink. It's what my mom had." I feel like I had just been run over by a car, the wind knocked out of me. I couldn't breath. Scott embraced Stiles into a hug.
Then I was on a bed, a young, shirtless Scott standing in front of me, gauze covered his side, just below the ribs. He began to pull off the gauze, revealing a bloody bite mark. Pain encased my side, thrumming through my ribs. I sat up from his bed, clutching my side. I didn't take two steps before tripping over his lacrosse stick. He turned to me, eyes glowing yellow.
"Alexa? I need you to wake up, okay?" He said to me. He began to shift, shift into something I've only seen once before. In a nightmare. He shifted into my father.
"Do you see what you have done to this family! You betrayed me! You betrayed your mother! Even Luca! Especially Luca. You ungrateful little bitch!" He yelled. He began to take off his belt. I knew what was coming, he was going to hit me. Like he always used to do.
"No! Stop, please!" I screamed, before everything faded.
"Guys! She is awake!" Kira called. Liam and Lydia ran over to me. I was confused to why Liam was coming to see if I was okay.
"Hey, how are you feeling?"Lydia asked me. I tried to sit up from the medical bed I was lying on. It was apparent I was in the nurse's office, I just wanted to know for how long I had been here.
"Um, fine, but my side hurts a little." I told them recalling the flashback I had to Scott's wound.
"Why are you here?" I asked, eyeing Liam.
"Well, after you strangled me in the hallway, I kind of had to come to the nurse's office, too."
"I strangled you?" he nodded, "I am so sorry."
"You're sorry?"
"Yeah. I hate you and everything, but I would never purposefully hurt you unless you really pissed me off."
"Okay, looks like you two need some privacy so we are going to go." Lydia commented, grabbing Kira's wrist and dragging her out of the office.
"So do you pass out often?" Liam asked, trying to lighten the mood.
"Um, yes actually. They started happening when I came to Beacon Hills. I don't know why either."
"What do you see in them?"
"I'm not sure. Sometimes they are past nightmares, with actual pain, or they are other people's memories."
"What was this one?"
"Both."
"Has that happened before?"
"Why do you care so much Liam?"
"I'm just trying to help you."
"I don't need help especially from you."
"Oh my god! Alexa, seriously? Why do you hate me so much?"
"Oh don't play games, you know why!"
"Why because I did better than you on finals?"
"No, because you punched me and your dad got a restraining order, then I had to move to different, lower classes!"
"I'm sorry that I have a wicked right hook!"
"Oh to hell with you! You want to see a damn good right hook?"
"Geez, you must have really hit your head!"
"Enough with you two!" Lydia stormed into the office, Kira close behind. "We can hear you from outside!"
"Go to hell Liam Dunbar because I swear to God that that is the only place where I won't be able to hunt you down a kick the living-"
"Okay! Language!" Lydia said, putting her hand over my mouth and leading me out the door.
"Where are we going?" I asked the two once Lydia released me.
"Well you two are going to go watch practice with Malia." Lydia told me.
"And where will you be?"
"Who wants to know?" Lydia smirked and walked off. Kira and I headed out to the field, Malia had already beaten us out there. At this point, the boys were finishing the running portion of tryouts, Stiles coming in dead last. I opened my chemistry book and started studying. Being in honors chemistry is the easiest thing I have ever done, next to shooting a .38.
The girls were talking about boys and I was just aimlessly watching the lacrosse team, watching Liam be a show-off.
"That was luck! Do-over!" Malia screamed, standing next to me. I tried to pull her back down to the bleachers, but she just pushed me away. The coach just yelled something back.
"Ten bucks on Scott and Stiles!" Malia shouted.
"Oh god." I mumbled. Liam came to front of the line, once more. He rushed Scott and Stiles, Stiles trying to stop him first, yet failed. Then Scott flipped him over one shoulder, and a snap could be heard through the stadium. Scott, Stiles and I rushed him to Beacon Hills Memorial hospital.
xXx
"Hi mom." Scott said to a woman in purple scrubs. That was the woman I saw in my flashback, in the MRI room. I assumed it was Stiles' mom. I helped Stiles get him into a wheelchair, and Dr. McCall said something to him before pushing him away to his room. "I gotta get going. I promised Malia I would help her study." Stiles said, Scott nodded and I responded by saying "I'll stay here with him."
"Sorry, but I don't really trust you around him, so I am not leaving you here alone with him." Scott replied.
"I don't need to say it was your fault do I?" Stiles asked Scott.
"I don't know," Scott responded.
"Scott, if you had used any wolf powers, this kid wouldn't be limping, he would be crawling, back to the other half of his body."
"If I hadn't been so worried about being captain, maybe he wouldn't be hurt."
"It's okay to want something for yourself once a while. Team cap, the Alpha. You're still human."
"What Stiles is trying to say, is that we don't have 'I owe you's', we have something more than that,we have your back. And what has it been? Like a week since I've met you? And you and your pack have saved my ass like twenty times okay?"
"Alexa, it's your pack, too." Scott smiled, I was officially a part of his pack.
"Don't you have a date with Malia?" I looked at Stiles and smirked. He smiled back and turned to the doors.
Scott and I walked towards room 205, Liam's room.
"So, now that you're apart of the pack, what's been going on lately?"
"What?"
"You heard me. The blackouts? Strangling freshman? How do you know Liam?"
"The blackouts? No clue. They started when I came here, when I met you guys. Strangling freshman? Um, again, I have no clue. It was during the most recent blackout. I had no clue what I was doing. How do I know Liam? Well we went to the same school. I graduated one year early and apparently I am smart enough to be a junior."
"You're fifteen?!"
"Second reaction in one day." We approached room 205 eavesdropped on Liam talking with his physician. I realized who the doctor was, Liam's dad. Who has met me who was about to come out of the room. I panicked and grabbed Scott by the shirt and forced my lips to his. Until Dr. Geyer walked away. I pulled away and looked into the shocked face of someone who was dating one of my bestfriends. I've been stupider before, so I'm not too worried.
"What the hell?!" Scott whisper-shouted.
"That was Dr. Geyer, Liam's dad, who I know. If he saw me, I would be in so much trouble."
"Why?"
"He got a restraining order against me and Liam."
"Alexa!" Scott's phone vibrated and he answered a call.
"Lydia? Okay, slow down… So am I, I am at the hospital with Alexa."
"What? What happened? Who died?"
"I think someone is about to." He grabbed my wrist and ran. We turned a corner and saw a bloody teenage boy about to eat Scott's mom, who was screaming. A loud roar traveled through the hospital hallway. Scott ran and pummeled the boy. He pushed the bloody kid against a wall. The boy put his foot on Scott's chest and pushed him to the opposing wall. The boy ran from Scott, I would too if I just attacked his mom.
"I'm okay. I'm alright."
"Are you sure?"
"Go get that son of a bitch." Scott growled and ran off after him.
"What is his name?" I asked Dr. McCall.
"Sean. Sean Walcott."
"Hey. Did anyone hear that?" Someone faintly said.
"Oh god." I ran back the way we came to Liam's room. I found him limping outside his room, Sean turned the corner.
"Hey Sean!" I taunted. Liam realized his presence.
"What do you want?"
"Step away from the idiot."
"Come on Alexa." Liam whined. Instead,Sean grabbed his wrist and bent it behind his back, probably giving him a distal radius fracture.
"Why is it that everyone chooses the hard way?" I mumbled. I reach for the blade I had been keeping in my boot. I did an aerial cartwheel towards them, which surprised him, giving me the opening I needed. I plunged the blade in his neck, pulling Liam from his grasp. I can tell this only irritated him more. He sloppily swung at my head, giving me the chance to duck and nail him in the stomach.
This knocked him back and I took the chance to hit him in the head with a reverse tornado kick. He caught me off guard and grabbed my foot, throwing me to ground. He reached down and grabbed me by the neck. He reached for the knife in my hand, but I didn't let go, so he decided to dislocate my shoulder. I screamed out in pain and dropped the knife.
He grabbed my bad arm and Liam's broken wrist. He drug us up to the roof. Sean was about to throw us both over the ledge when Scott bust through the door. They said something, but I wasn't listening, I was thinking of a way to escape his grasp. I saw his weak spot and elbowed him in the jaw. He stumbled back but kicked me over the edge. I grabbed onto the slippery metal of the ledge, but cried out in pain because of my shoulder.
"Scott! I can't hold on! Scott!" I screamed. Apparently Sean decide to throw Liam over the edge, too. He grabbed both of our wrists, only it was my bad shoulder and Liam's wrist. I tried to climb up the wall. I could feel my fingers slipping.
"Scott! I'm slipping!" I yelled. Sean came up behind Scott and grabbed the arm latched onto Liam's wrist, causing his grip on me to tighten. His claws dug into my wrist, but it was too late. I slipped. His claws sliced through my skin as I fell. I grabbed onto Liam's feet. I looked up and watched the deranged teenager pull Scott's other arm. He bit Liam's arm to stop him from falling. Finally, he pulled Liam and I up.
I looked at Sean, lying on the ground with an axe in his back. Then, a man dressed in all black pulled the axe from his back and walked away. I just closed my eyes, letting the pain rattle through me. And I needed to sleep.
