Part 7

Okay so in this section towards the end it might get confusing because I was like trying to cut from Becca to everyone else I didn't really like it without anything added in so when you see ### that means a cut to a different scene/person (not perspective just where they are).

Scott was walking to his bike after school on Wednesday with Stiles when he got a call from an unknown number.

"Hello?"

"Hello, Scott."

"Kate!" Scott said, recognizing the voice.

"Listen, I know Becca found the cure for the wolfsbane, and clearly she hasn't killed you so, now I have to kill her." Scott opened his mouth to protest this but Kate cut him off. "Unless, you do something else for me." she said.

"Like what?"

"A trade. Give me your beta and I won't kill Becca."

"Liam?"

"No, your other beta that poops butterflies. Yes! Liam." Kate said sarcastically.

"No, I won't choose one over the other." Scott insisted.

"Alright, I'll tell you what. Meet me at the Argent International Arms building tonight at midnight and we'll...work something out. You can even bring your little friends." and with that, Kate hung up.

"Are you sure he'll come?" Kate asked, turning to face Peter in the sewers.

"Of course he will." Peter said to her. "And this, this is just the first step towards killing him; weakening his pack."

Kate flashes a wicked smile at him. "Especially that epsilon girl."

…

"Why can't I go with you?" Becca pleaded.

"Because, we can't have you show up and then get taken after 2 seconds. You need to stay here at my house, surrounded by mountain ash where they can't get you." Scott explained to her. Him, Kira, Stiles, Derek, Lydia, Malia, and Chris were all getting ready to meet Kate. Becca stood inside Scott's house on one side of a line of mountain ash and everyone else stood outside, on the other side of it.

"Then how come Liam gets to go?" Becca demanded.

"Because one of you needs to come so she thinks she has a chance at one of you and that we're serious and Liam has more control and is a better fighter than you." Scott answered again. Becca groaned as everyone began to leave. Stiles was the last one to leave.

"Be careful," she said to him.

"You too," he said.

"Becca couldn't help but scoff and say, "yeah I'd hate to fall down the stairs." Stiles gave her a look. "I'm sorry, it's just, I wish I could go with you." she apologized.

"I know."

"You know I'd kiss you again if this barrier wasn't here," she said with a smirk. Stiles blushed and leaned his head over the barrier and she gave him a quick peck on the cheek.

"What, that's it?" he asked.

"Break the barrier for me and I'll give you a real kiss." she said with a wink. He laughed and walked over to his jeep, hopping into the driver's seat. Malia smiled from the passenger's seat.

"What?" Stiles asked her.

"I may be new at the whole reading emotions thing but it's pretty obvious you two like each other." she said, making Stiles blush more as he drove to the warehouse. Everyone arrived in their vehicles at around the same time. When Scott hopped off his bike that he rode with Kira, he took off his helmet and sniffed the air.

"Are you smelling anything?" he asked Malia and Liam as they exited the jeep.

"Nothing," she responded and Liam nodded in agreement.

The group stepped inside. And waited as Scott, Malia, and Liam sniffed and listened for any movement.

"They're not here," Scott said after a couple minutes.

"How could they not be here? Where could they be?" Stiles asked. Everyone paused for a moment, thinking.

"Becca! They're going for Becca. This was all a distraction." Lydia realized, everyone else processed what she was saying and raced back to their cars.

###

Becca sat on the couch, bobbing her leg up and down and playing with her hands, waiting for their return.

###

"No...no, no, no." Stiles said as he drove as fast as he could while making quick turns.

Becca heard shuffling outside and stood up. The door opened to reveal Mrs. McCall with her hands held behind her back by Kate Argent.

###

"It's okay, she's surrounded with mountain ash." Lydia said, but even she sounded unsure of this. Although her voice might have been shaky from Stiles's crazy driving.

"Break it." Kate told Melissa, but Melissa shook her head. She was too weak, though and Kate pushed her feet into the mountain ash, breaking its seal. Kate let go of her and told her to leave. Melissa stood still and looked at Becca.

"Go Mrs. McCall, you shouldn't get hurt for this," Becca said and Melissa reluctantly left. Kate slowly stepped through the doorway.

###

Scott and Kira were the first to arrive, with Stiles's jeep right behind them. Melissa was in the driveway.

"Mom, are you okay?" Scott asked, but his mom brushed him off. "Go, go save her," she said.

Stiles was already racing to the door and Scott caught up with him at the walkway. Everyone else was behind them, Kira had her sword out and Chris had his gun ready. Kate, was standing over Becca and a berserker that came through the back door caught Becca by surprise and grabbed her arms behind her. Kate slashed Becca down her neck and chest just as Scott and Stiles reached the front door. Becca's eyes went blank and she collapsed to the ground.

"No!" Stiles screamed. Kate turned around to them and said, "I'd like to see her survive this one." She raced for the backdoor with her berserker. Scott tried to chase after her before she left, Stiles raced to Becca's side, and Chris took a few shots at Kate, but missed. Everyone else just stood there, not knowing what to do. A few tears escaped Stiles's eyes as he held her to his chest he held one of her hands in his. Scott walked slowly over to them, the room felt dizzy, he was overwhelmed with emotion as he made his way to her and squatted next to the two of them. The silence in the room pounded inside everyone's ears.

Then, a small breath was heard. It was about the volume of someone blinking, but Scott heard it and his head shot up. Malia and Liam heard it too and they did the same. A second later, Becca spazzed and gasped for air. She opened her eyes and looking around she held a finger up to her mouth and everyone stayed quiet. She waited until she couldn't smell Kate anymore before she took the finger away.

"You-you're alive." Stiles said in disbelief.

"I'm a survivor," Becca said weakly, but gave a faint smile.

"Why did you shush us?" Liam asked.

"Kate thinks I'm dead so right now, we have the advantage. We need to start planning an attack." Becca explained as Scott and Stiles helped her up. Once, she was up on her feet, she started coughing into her hand and hunched over. She looked down at her hand and saw blood. Seeing this, Stiles said, "Nope, you're not doing anything right now. We are taking you to Deaton."

"What? No! This is the perfect time to attack; she won't expect us to fight right after a death," Becca protested.

"Becca, you have a slash across your entire body and you just hacked up blood. We're taking you to Deaton's." Scott said, reaching to pick her up. Becca attempted to turn and run but lost her balance. She gripped the wall to keep herself up.

"You see?" Scott asked her as he scooped her up bridal style. As he walked through the front door he nearly banged her head on the wall.

"Would you be careful, please," Stiles called from behind. Once again, everyone headed out, but this time to Deaton's. When they arrived, Deaton was pouring food into a dog bowl and looked up as they entered. Scott laid Becca across the steel table and Stiles grabbed her hand as he stood next to her and the others surrounded the rest of the table.

"What happened?" Deaton asked.

"It was Kate, she clawed Becca across the chest, leaving her unconscious for a few seconds. Becca started coughing up blood a few seconds ago." Scott explained.

"Well, I can't work when this room is exceeding its capacity." Deaton said, looking around at the many faces leaning over the table. Taking the hint, Chris, Derek, Lydia, Kira, Melissa and Malia all left, leaving Scott, Stiles, Deaton, and of course, Becca. Deaton grabbed a pair of scissor and cut away what remained of Becca's shirt.

"Ungh," Stiles turned pale at the sight of the gash.

"Really?" Becca asked. "Don't you see dead bodies all the time?"

"Blood freaks me out." Stiles answered.

"Your freak me out," Becca said and tried to smile as big as she could.

"Can we just...focus on trying to get you not to die?" Stiles said, jerking his body around with his signature awkwardness.

"Scott, grab me the surgical tools. Stiles, get the bottle of bacitracin. It's in the cabinet above the sink," Deaton ordered as he use his hands to press down on the deep cuts.

"Unghhh," Becca half screamed out in pain through gritted teeth. Stiles opened the bottle of bacitracin and handed it to Deaton, then he went back to his place holding Becca's hand. Scott laid out the surgical supplies and Deaton got to work. Becca squeezed Stiles's hand harder every time Deaton pulled the needle through her skin and started to close the wound.

"Wow, uh, you're just not holding back any werewolf strength," Stiles said, wincing.

"Stiles…?" Becca said weakly.

"Yeah?" he asked.

"Shut up!" she said harshly. Scott laughed a little and placed his hands on Becca's forearm. His veins turned black and his eyes turned red as he took away some of her pain.

"Done," Deaton said as he snipped away the excess surgical string. "I'd give it an hour before the healing kicks in. Take these herbs by mixing them into water to regain your strength faster." He handed her a small jar of herbs.

Becca sat up on the table, wincing. "An hour? But I need to kill Kate."

"And you will, just not now."

"Before we kill her, I'd like to know why she was so set out on killing Becca." Stiles said.

"It's probably part of her plot to wipe out the competition. Becca has the potential to grow very powerful and successfully with protecting this pack and since Kate wants Scott dead, she wanted to stop Becca while she still could." Deaton explained.

"Just get some rest for right now, alright?" Scott asked Becca, and she nodded. She leaned onto Stiles to get up from the table, but he stopped her.

"Woah, woah, woah. You probably want a shirt before you leave." He said, taking off his green hoodie.

Becca looked down at her bare stomach and black bra. "Oh yeah," she felt really hot once che realized she was half naked in front of Stiles and she put on the jacket, zipping it up. It was still warm from being on Stiles. They headed out into the waiting room where everyone was...well, waiting.

"Becca!" Malia was the first to stand up and she gave her a big hug. Becca cringed a little at the pain, but still smiled.

"Alright that's enough," Stiles said. "We need to get her home. Parrish doesn't even know any of this happened. Sorry you guys didn't get to fight anybody."

Chris Argent laughed. Even though it was a laugh, it still had a twang of sadness. "Have we really come to being disappointed at not fighting?"

Everyone else smiled and then made their way out. Becca was the last one Stiles dropped off. He walked her all the way up to her door again.

"I'll make sure to wash the blood out of your sweatshirt before I give it back," Becca joked.

"Don't worry about it you can keep it if you want." Stiles said, making her blush. She looked down at the ground and pushed a strand of hair behind her ear. Then, she looked up at Stiles, she really wanted him to ask her out. He still hadn't done it yet and after nearly dying she realized just how much she wanted to be with him. Stiles just stared at her in awe, oblivious to the silence.

"Uh, goodnight, I guess," Becca said after a while, trying to hide her disappointment.

"Goodnight," Stiles said and Becca quickly went inside without any kiss.

Stiles stood there for a moment after the door slammed in his face and then he headed home where Scott was already waiting for him.

"What's wrong?" Scott asked, addressing Stiles's confused face.

"She didn't kiss me." Stiles answered as they headed up to his room. "She kissed me last time I dropped her off and when we left your house, but she didn't kiss me this time."

"Well what happened?" Scott asked.

"She told me she'd wash me jacket before returning it and I told her she could keep it, and then we kinda just stood there staring at each other before she said goodnight and rushed inside."

"Dude. She was probably waiting for you to do something."

"Do what?"

"Something. Anything!" Scott said, throwing his hands up. "Kiss her, ask her out, it doesn't matter. That was your chance to make a move."

Realizing his mistake Stiles's face dropped. "Damn it."

Just then there was a knock at the door. Stiles ran downstairs to get it and Scott used his werewolf hearing to listen from Stiles's room. Stiles froze up when he saw Becca on the other side of the door. Becca was still weak but her healing had started so she managed to drive over in Parrish's car. She wasn't back to full strength, but it still hurt Stiles when she slapped him.

"What was that for?" he asked.

"For not asking me out!" she said. Stiles didn't know how to respond and Scott laughed from upstairs. "Look, I think you're really cute and funny and I love your sarcasm and I really like you." she continued. "I think you like me too, or at least I did but I flirt with you all the time and you still haven't made a move." There was a moment of silence and she raised her eyebrows at him. He still didn't know what to say.

"Stiles! This would be the time to ask her out." Scott called from upstairs.

"Oh yeah. Um, Becca, would you like to go out with me this Saturday?"

"I would love to," Becca said and then she leaned in and kissed Stiles. Really kissed him. She pressed her lips against his and wrapped her arms around his neck. Stiles took a second to realize what was happening before he wrapped his arms around her waist.

She pulled away from him and bit her lip, smiling. He just stood there, awestruck as she drove away.

Once he was back upstairs studying with Scott, he fiddled around with the rope tied around his wrist. After Becca gave it to him, he started toying around with it when he was nervous or was overwhelmed.
