Grace P.O.V
The ringing of an alarm wakes the sleeping woman in front of me. Looking up at me she gives me a soft smile and gets off the couch heading for the front door. "Where are you going?" I ask confused.
"Work, I got the 11" She replies with a yawn glancing at the clock on the wall and I see it reads 10:45.
"Oh. I didn't Know. I was going to have Scott put you in bed"
"That was very sweet baby but I got to go. Make sure you lock the doors and turn off all the lights I'll see you tomorrow" She says and softly kisses my head then leaves. I look up the stair and contemplate going up the my brother and Stiles. Deciding not to I flop down on to the couch and switch on the Television searching the channels I find a program worth watching... Stargate Atlantis waiting for the episode to start I head to the Kitchen and make a bowl of sweet popcorn and grab a can of Dr. Pepper.
Heading back to the Couch I sit just in time for the episode to start and Immediately regretting my choice as I recognise the episode playing; Season 3 episode 17... Sunday. (I cry every time. If you don't watch it you should try it. If you like things about Aliens)
Halfway through the episode the buzzing of my phone on the kitchen bench draws my attention from the TV screen. Silently making my way to the kitchen I swoop up my phone and look at the name flashing on the screen, a smile forming on my face I accepting the call putting the phone to my ear and heading back to the couch.
"Hey how are you feeling?"
"Better than I did a few hours ago" he says with a slight chuckle "My side still hurts but that's about it"
"Has it healed yet?"
"Almost, it kind of just like a slice now. Is healing faster than I thought"
"That's good, wouldn't want you dying on the pack now would we?"
"Just the pack? You wouldn't care?"
"I'd cry, eat ice cream and get over it within a week" I say joking.
"You wound me... Scott and that taking the PSAT's tomorrow?" He asks, changing the subject.
"Yeah. All except Lydia she already took them"
"So what are you doing tomorrow?"
"I think I just want to say home and relax. Mom's just left for work and no doubt she'll be there well into tomorrow evening the hospital is well understaffed, I'll be alone all day"
"You wanna hang out? We can watch some movies, eat some junk food. We'll make a day of it." Liam ask and I smile into the phone at the thought of spending the whole day alone with him with no interruptions... hopefully.
"Sure, come over at like 10?" I ask and a knock sounds at the front door. Walking over to the door I Listen to Liam agree to coming over but once I swing the door open my attention immediately falls on Malia.
"Malia? What's wrong?"
"Where's Scott and Stile's?" She asks walking inside, sending a glance to the TV when the sound of an explosion rings through the speakers, then look back to me "It's important" she says urgently and I point to upstairs. Pushing past me she runs up the stairs and I follow close behind, completely forgetting to hang up on Liam and watching the TV.
I get up stairs just in time to see Malia swing open the door to an awkward looking Scott and Stiles. "We found Satomi's Pack, Derek and I. But they're dead" She informs the two boys.
"All of them?" Scott asks
"All the one's we found"
"Then where's Derek?" Stiles asks waking towards Malia and I.
"Braeden was with them, Derek's taken her to the hospital"
"Is she Okay?" I ask and she turns to me.
"She was shot" She says with no emotion and I look at Stiles with a annoyed 'Really?' look to which he just shrugs to me. "Whatever I'm going to bed" I say and turn to walk towards my room but Scott's voice stops me.
"TV" He says and I spin on my heels sending him a sweet smile and head to go back down stairs "Hey Gracie?" he shouts and I turn to see him, Malia and Stiles all standing outside of his room looking at me amused. "Don't forget to hang up on you Boyfriend" He says indicating to the phone in my hand.
"He's not my Boyfriend!" I yell to them embarrassed and bring the phone to my ear. "Sorry Liam I got to go" I say hurriedly and hang up not waiting for a reply. The sound of the three pack members laughing upstairs ringing trough the house. Only for it to suddenly stop and the sound of two pairs of feet running down the stairs behind me and I turn to see Scott and Stiles looking at me with a slight glare as I head into the kitchen with them following behind me.
"He better not be... You guys just met. Take it slow Gracie I mean it." Stiles demands walking into the room.
"I will okay"
"What are you doing tomorrow while we take the PSAT'S?" Scott asks as Malia walks into the room behind them
"Hanging out with Liam" I say and look to the floor.
"You here that Scott? Liam is hanging out with your sister. Flashback anyone?" Stiles says causing a growl to come from Scott and Malia and I look to the two questioningly.
"I don't want to know" I say and walk over to the TV to turn it off then heading up the stairs only for Scott to grab my wrist and spin me around.
"Promise me Gracie that nothing will happen tomorrow" Scott pleads
"I promise" I say gently and he lets go of my wrist
"Get to bed Gracie, I'll lock up" he says jerking his head up stairs.
"Night Scotty" I say and Kiss his forehead and walk up the stairs shouting behind me "Night Stiles! Night Malia!"
"Night" the two shout after me as I walk into my room and flop down onto the bed.
"TEETH!" Scott yells up to me
"YEAH!" Shout back to him and pull myself off my bed and head to the bathroom to brush my teeth. Once done, I exit the room only to bump into my brother.
"I'm going to bed now. Exams tomorrow"
"I know. night"
"Night Gracie" he says softly and walks into the now vacant bathroom.
"Night Scotty" I whisper knowing he can hear me.
Walking into my room I once again collapse onto my bed and fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow.
Time Skip
8:45am ~ McCall House
"Scott? You awake?" I ask knocking on his door with my right hand whilst rubbing my back the left. With no answer I walk inside and my eyes immediately land on the form of my brother lying on top of his bed covers in only a pair of gray joggers, lightly snoring.
Dropping my left hand, I walk up to the right side of his bed I sit on the edge and shake his shoulders lightly and whisper "Scott common you have an exam in 1 hour and... 14 minutes, common get up!" I say shaking him harder resulting him to push my hand off his shoulder, mumble incoherently and sit up sleepily whilst rubbing his hand over his face then through his hair.
"I'm up, Thanks Gracie" he mumbles
"If you're ready in time I'll make you Bacon and Pancakes" I say and roll my shoulders in irritation which Scott immediately catches onto.
"Still in pain?" he asks lightly, moving to sit closer to me.
"Yeah, hopefully Deaton was right and when my 'wings' come out the pain will stop.
"Yeah but we don't know when that will happen... It could be years" Scott says and glances at my back "It would be pretty cool for you to have wings like, just think... No traffic in the sky" He jokes and I lightly punch him in the arm.
"Deaton also said that when I get my wings I'll get physically stronger. That means I will be able to beat you in arm wrestling again" I say and jump off his bed running for the door.
"Hey you couldn't beat me before I got bit" he yells after me.
Sticking my head around his door I look to see him now sitting on the edge of the bottom of his bed "Yes I could Scott don't lie to yourself it's not good for the soul" I say and head down the stairs.
"PANCAKES!"
"GET READY!" I yell back and walk into the kitchen and pull the Bacon and dry Pancake mix. Pulling out two frying pans I place both on top of the oven and pull a bowl out of the cupboard and empty the dry mix inside into the bowl and pouring half a cup of water into it then whisking it together whilst turning on the oven tops placing six strips of Bacon into the first pan and pouring the pancake mix into the other as four perfect circles. After time I flip the food then once it's done I pull out two plates and place the two pancakes on each of them then lay three strips of Bacon on top of the cakes.
Just as I place the plates on the table, Scott flies through the kitchen door and lands straight in the seat with the plate in front. Shaking my head I walk over to the fridge and pull out the carton of orange juice and grab two glasses from the cupboard, filling the glasses and returning the carton to the fridge I walk to the table with the drinks and set one next to Scott, who is stuffing his face.
"Excited?" I ask taking a sip of my juice then taking and bite of my food.
"It's the PSAT's" he says dumbfounded.
"It's only 3 hours Scotty, what could go wrong?"
"I could fail" he says flatly.
"No, after everything that you have been through, that we all have been through. You have worked hard for this and you will succeed. Derek once said something about you, I don't know if you know this but one time he said that 'When there is no chance of winning you keep fighting, when all hope is lost you find another way and when you're beaten down you stand up again. Scotty you don't give up. You don't get to give up because while we're trying not to die we still need to live"
"It's only an Exam not the end of the world Gracie"
"But did you understand what I'm telling you?"
"I do, Nice speech by the ways"
"Thank you. Now eat your breakfast and get to School Cujo"
"Whatever Lil' Bird" He says and swallows the last bit of pancake and Bacon on his plate before guzzling down half a glass of juice. Standing from the chair he walks around the table to me and kisses the top of my head.
"Thanks Gracie" He says pulling his lips away from my forehead then grabbing his stuff and heads for the door. "Be good!" He shouts and Leaves the house.
"Bye" I whisper to the closed door.
Looking to the clock on the wall I see it's 9:20, 40 minutes 'til Liam is here and I am still sitting in my grey shorts and white vest top, looking down at my plate with the half eaten breakfast on it, I quickly scoff it down and clean up the plates from the table and put them in the sink. Heading upstairs I walk into the bathroom and switch on the shower. Waiting for the water to heat up I walk into my bedroom and grab my towel and walk back to the bathroom.
My shower lasts 20 minutes, another 5 to dry and style my blonde hair into a lazy loose bun and applying a little eyeliner and Lip gloss.
Going back to my room I slip on plain black underwear and search through my wardrobe I find a grey crop top that says 'NORMAL IS BORING', Ripped Fringe Denim Black Shorts and All Star High Top Converse's. Walking over to my night stand I pick up my gold bow and arrow necklace that Allison got me for my birthday and frosted black heart earrings. Looking at the clock on my wall I see it's 9:55.
Heading back down stairs I walk to the living room and over to the couch, just as I sit down there is a knock on the door. A small smile curves at my lips as I get up and walk over to the door. Before opening the door I close my eyes and take a deep breath. Opening the door my eyes land on the shuffling boy wearing dark wash jeans with a white v-neck, leather jacket and black boots, with two shopping bags in his hands. Raising an eyebrow I move to the side to allow Liam to enter the house.
Following him into the Kitchen I lean against the bench and watch him pull out the contents of the bag e.g. two bags of Pop Corn (Salted and sweet), Red vines, Skittles, a big bottle of Coca Cola, a big bottle of Sprite, Reese's Peanut butter Cups, Peanut M&M's and two butterfingers.
"So... what are we doing today besides prepping for my next dentil visit?" I say smirking.
Liam Glances over his shoulder at me then turns around to fully face me. My attention Immediately goes to the objects in his hands.
JAWS. PSYCH SEASON 1. MEAN GIRLS.
"Mean Girls?" I ask amused.
"M-Mason said..." Liam responds nervously.
"Mason told you Mean Girls is my favourite movie and lent us his copy.
"Yeah" Liam Deadpans
"Well I don't. In fact I hate it so..." I say and walk up to him and pluck the DVD's out of his hands and throw overly pink case on the bench. Turning back to him I look deep into his bright eyes and ask "Flesh eating Brain dead monster people or a man eating Shark?"
Liam just stares at me and lets out a breath that I never realised he was holding.
9:45 am ~Beacon Hills High School
Scott P.O.V.
"Where's Lydia?" Kira asks from beside me as she, Malia, Stiles and I stand in line outside of the class room.
"She took it her freshman year" Stiles informs her glancing around.
"Does that meat I could have taken it some other time?" Malia asks him
"Malia, you studied harder for this than any of us" I say the Were-Coyote.
"Doesn't mean I'm going to do good"
"Well" Stiles corrects her.
"Well—what?" Malia drags out.
"Its do 'well' not 'good'"
"Oh God" Malia say incredulously
"Oh God" Stiles repeats her.
"You're doing this because while we're trying not to die we still need to live" I say quoting Gracie from this morning. "If I survive High School I would like to go to college, A good college"
"It's only three hours. We can survive three hours" Kira says trying to be helpful. I look over to stiles to see him looking at Kira with his mouth hanging open whilst shaking his head with a look on his face that says 'what is wrong with you'.
"Aren't Grace and Liam hanging out at your house alone today?" Malia asks
"Oh God, not that again" Stiles whines
"What? Not what again?"
"Those words 'Hanging out' You don't just hang out with hot girls okay and I don't know about you lot but Gracie isn't exactly unattractive" Stiles rants
"Neither is Liam" Can this day get any worse?. I ask myself.
"Have you told her yet? About the deadpool?" Kira asks from gently
"She already knew" I say guilt clear in my voice
"How?" Malia asks quizzical.
"Garret told her that she was worth a lot like me. It should have been me to tell her. I should have told her when we first suspected. But I didn't"
"Is she mad at you?" Kira asks.
"Not mad but last night the way she looked at me when she yelled at the clinic asking how much she was worth. In that moment I have never seen my sister look more betrayed and broken. But then It just disappeared minutes later and she was Grace again".
"What is she? I mean, she's not a werewolf or Coyote, not a Kitsune or a Banshee. What else is there?"
"A Phoenix" Stiles murmurs
"What's that?" Malia asks turning to him with her arms crossed over her chest.
"A bird made of fire. In some mythologies it dies in its flames and is reborn again, because it's so pure their can only be one at a time, they can live for thousands of years. The Phoenix is seen as a healer, drawing its power from the sun as a werewolf draws its power from the moon" Stiles explains, obviously he did some research last night.
"Deaton says that she's going to grow wings, that's what the pain in her back has been about. She gets talons instead of claws oh and her eyes their like this mixture of Red, Yellow and Orange, they're beautiful"
"Sounds amazing" Kira comments and I give her a small smile
"Guys you're holding up the line" Ms Martin informs us and I just now realise that the students in front of us are now inside the classroom. Walking into the class room I Place my thumb on the ink pad and press it onto the paper, pick up a pencil and Take the paper handed to me.
"Cell Phone in the envelope Scott, you'll get it back after the test" Ms Martin says as I stand in front of her and she holds up a brown Envelope that has the number 009 on it. Simply agreeing I smile at her and drop my phone into the bag and take the card she hands me with the same number and I turn to take my seat with the others following behind me.
"Please do not open your test booklet until you are instructed to do so" The Examiner says. "This test is two hours and ten minutes, there will be will be two – twenty five minute critical reading sections, Two twenty five Maths sections and a essay writing portion that will last 30 minutes. There is supposed to be two teacher monitoring this Exam" The Creepy guy says to Ms Martin.
"I know It's Coach. He's not exactly punctual" She explains and I here Stiles silently scoff "umm let me just try him again" she says picking up her phone and walks out of the class room, leaving us with the creepy dude.
A few minutes later she returns without Coach and I can practically here Stiles' mini party in his head.
"I can't find him" She Lies "But Mr Yukimura is upstairs grading papers, do you want me to try him?"
"We have to start, we can ask for his assistance during the first break" The Examiner insists and She nods. I watch as he turns to the desk, reaching down to a watch and press a button. "You my now open your test booklets and begin" he says without emotion.
Time Skip
A thud sounds at the back of the classroom and we all turn to see a girl. Sydney, I think, lying on the floor.
"Sydney!" Ms Martin exclaims rushing forward to the fallen girl a helps her up "Are you alright?"
"I'm okay, I just got kind of dizzy" Sydney insists looking around embarrassed
"Sydney? How long have you had this?" She asks indicating to something on Sydney's wrist
"Ms Martin do I need to stop the test?"
"No... um it's it's fine" She replies sitting Sydney back down and walking to the front of the classroom "Everybody stay in your seats I'll um be back in a minute" she continues and picks up her cell phone, looking to the examiner she says "Nobody leaves the room"
I turn and look at Sydney to see a bright red mark on her wrist almost like veins. We continue the Exam until we hear Ms Martin Yelling "GET BACK, NO. DON'T COME IN HERE GET BACK OUTSIDE!" Myself and several other students, including Stiles rush out of the room and look to Ms Martin only to be told to go back inside. Obeying we head back to our seats and I close the door behind us. However training my hearing I listen to her making a phone call to the CDC.
Time Skip
Grace P.O.V
I look over to the right at Liam who is sitting next to me as the episode of 'Psych' finishes. I pick up my phone from the arm of the couch and see that the time reads 4:15pm. We already watched Jaws first and now there is nothing to watch but Mean Girls. No.
I shove the empty M&M packet from my laps and stand up from where I was sitting and stretch my arms in the air. Hearing a gasp I quickly drop them and turn to look at Liam who is staring at me.
"What?" I ask with a small chuckle.
"Uh nothing" He replies standing up to.
"What do you want to do now?" I ask looking up to him and notice how close we actually are to each other.
"Do you trust me?"
"Depends?"
"On?"
"What you're going to—" I'm cut off by Liam smashing his lips to mine. Due to the shock I fall back onto the couch, talking Liam with me and he lands on top, with his lips never leaving mine. Several minutes later we pull apart and Liam looks down at me with a smirk.
"I've been dying to do that all day Gracie"
"me too. Liam, although I love hearing you call me Gracie. Maybe you should call me something that My brother and his best friend don't. But you can't call me Ace or Biscuit, Those are Derek and Coach only names.
"Okay how about Gigi?" Liam asks and I gag. "Okay Gray?"
"NO! Something cute but not too cute" I say running my hand trough his hair.
"G"
"What?" I asks pulling my hand away from his soft hair and Putting it on his hard chest and pushing him off of me so we can sit up.
"G, that's what I'm going to call you"
"It's a letter" I say and think about it for a moment before saying "G, Geeeee, G. I like it"
"Yeah?" he say smiling slightly
"Yeah" I reply and kiss him again, he pulls me onto his lap, my legs straddling his thighs and we continue kissing, occasionally Liam would move his mouth from my mouth to my neck and then down to my collar bone, always sucking on the same spot.
Unfortunately the conversation with my brother flashes through my mind as Liam's lips connect to my neck once again for the 7th time and I jump up from his lap immediately.
"What? What's wrong? What did I do?" He asks in a panic.
"Nothing, you did nothing wrong Liam it's just I promised Scott we wouldn't do anything and well that just happened and I just..."
"You were thinking about your brother just then?"
"Not intentionally" I say and my eyes draw to the clock hanging on the wall 5:27pm.
"What? What is it?" Liam asks standing and walking over to me and looking at the clock as well.
"Is that the time?" I ask him and he reaches down to the floor an picks up my cell phone I never noticed had dropped. Unlocking the phone he reads the time and looks at me confused.
"Yeah it's right why?"
"Because Scott's Exam started at 10 and it only should have lasted 3 hours" I say sand snatch the phone from him and Call Scott, Listening as it goes to voicemail, the same thing happens when I try Stiles, Kira and Malia. "Something's wrong"
"Try your mom" Liam suggests.
Dialling my mom's number I put to my ear and wait for her to answer. 5 rings later she does "Mom! What's going on why isn't anyone answering my calls? Where's Scott? He should have been home 2 hours ago"
"Baby Listen to me, the CDC put the high school under quarantine this morning"
"This morning? How come no one told me?" I screech
"There's nothing you can do okay. We didn't want you to panic!"
"Not panic seriously. All I do now is panic"
"I know, Baby look the Noah is at the school waiting with the rest of the station just be careful okay?"
"Wait you think this was an assassin?"
"No" she says and I sigh in relief "We know it was" she continues and I begin to tear up
"Mommy? Is Scott going to die?" I ask tears spilling over and I feel Liam wrap his arms around me.
"Deaton, Satomi and I are trying to find out what this thing is. Just don't go anywhere alone okay, find Lydia. I know she isn't at the school"
"I'm not alone, Liam is with me" I say and Immediately regret it
"You two have been alone all day?" She asks. Here comes Momma Bear. "You know what never mind we'll talk about this later. I have to go but don't go anywhere alone Grace I mean it"
"Yeah, sure, okay" I agree wiping the tears from my face "I love you"
"I love you too" She says and hangs up. Dropping my phone to the ground I Spin around in Liam's arms and cry into his chest.
After Sitting in Liam's lap and crying for 2 hours I'm finally all empty and exhausted but a rapture on the door has me jumping off him and sprinting to the door. Just as I am about to open It Liam's hand wraps around mine on the handle halting my movements. Looking back to him I watch as he uses his hearing and listens to the person on the other side. Training my newfound hearing I listen to the mumbling of a curtain Red- Headed banshee.
"It's just Lydia" Liam informs me and I turn to him with a smirk.
"I know, turns out you're not the only one with super hearing" I say smirking and throw open the door.
"Oh thank God you two are okay" She exclaims, walking inside.
Closing to the door I follow her into the living room and watch as she glances around at the mess of empty wrappers and cans.
"We're fine Lyd, just..."
"Scared? Yeah me two. My mom's in there" he sniffs and I nod "Well if you two hurry up and get your jackets we can get down there" She says impatiently and watches silently as Liam and I shrug on our jackets. Liam in his black Leather that he came in and a grey and Black baseball hoodie. And we all leave for the High school in Lydia's car.
Time skip
We get to the high school and make our way over to the front were we see the sheriff and Agent McCall standing. Lydia moves faster through the crowd call for the sheriff with Liam and I trailing behind her, before the three of us are stopped by a cop.
"Sheriff!" Lydia yells trying to move forward.
"WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, HEY. I know these kids let them in" He shouts coming forward and I glance at agent Asshat to see him already looking at me. Rolling my eyes I grab Liam's hand and move forward with Lydia, pulling him with me.
"My mom's in there what's happening?"
"We're working on it" he informs us and I look to him with pained eyes. He pulls me forward a little and kisses my forehead.
The sheriff pulls Lydia away to talk so no one can hear them and I turn towards Liam and wrap my arms around his waist. "What?" I snap feeling the eyes of Rafael on me. Turning around in Liam's arms I look at the FBI agent with a glare.
"You're looking good Grace" He says walking forward to me only for Liam to pull me back with him as he steps further away. McCall catching the movement looks to him and chuckles. "You're boyfriend seems a little protective of you"
"He's not my boyfriend" "I'm not her boyfriend" Liam and I say at the same time.
"Yeah I can tell that by the 6 marks on your neck and collar" Agent Asshat says smirking and my hand flies to my neck.
"Is there something I can help you with Agent McCall?" I growl. Not being phases but feeling Liam tense up.
"Just wanted to see how you were doing" I replies.
"I was fine until I found out my brother and friends were trapped in the school with some sort of virus that has the CDC here, oh that and the fact that I have to look at you" I say forcing a smile them letting it drop at the end.
"Come on sweetie" Lydia says walking back over with the sheriff; hearing the last of the conversation, sending him an annoyed glare. And pulls Liam and I away. As we are walking away ringing sounds behind us and we stop at look at McCall, who pulls out his phone and looks at it.
"It's Melissa" he says and puts it on speaker.
"Mom?" I asks before McCall can speak earning a glare from him and a chuckle from the others.
"Grace? Are you at the school?" She asks annoyed.
"Yeah with Liam, Lyd and the sheriff" I answer purposefully forgetting Agent Asshat.
"Grace listen to me, there's an antidote it's called Reishi, Reishi mushrooms, tell Scott it's in the Hale volt on one of the shelves in one of the jars, Reishi Mushrooms" She explains and McCall hangs up.
"What the hell is she talking about?" Ignoring McCall's question I attempt to move to the school but Papa Stilinski stops me.
"Oh you are in no way going in there" He says pointing to the building.
"Are you serious?" I growl out
"Sweetie he's right there is no way you can get in, that place is filled with the CDC, unless..." she cuts herself off and looks to a tent with CDC people walking out of in Hazmat suits.
"Lyd you're a genius" I exclaim and make my way to the tent, hearing McCall ask the group I just left 'what is she going to do?'. Now standing at the opening of the tent with no one around I peak inside and see one guy with his back to me. Looking around the inside I spot a suit lying on a chair that he must have just taken off. Ducking to the ground out of sight I crawl to the suit and quietly pull it off the chair and drag the heavy suit back outside and around the corner again; jumping in fright as I bump into McCall and the others.
"What are you doing?" He asks amused.
"Hiding in plain sight" I say in a 'Duh' tone
"No offence G but you're a little too" Liam says and waves his hand in the air around my body
"Short" Lydia deadpans
"Oh I'm not going in, you are" I say turning to Rafael.
"Me?" He asks confused pointing to his chest "Why me?"
"Well no offence Lyd, Liam, you guys are short to. And don't you think that it would be odd of the Sheriff to suddenly disappear when a high school is under quarantine in his own town with his son locked inside, come on Agent I though the FBI hired smart people, if you're the best they can were all screwed" I explain giving him a 'Suck it' smile.
Rolling his eyes he takes his gun out and hands it to Papa Stilinski, then takes the Hazmat suit out of my hands and slips it on. Once pulling the lid over his dead he reaches for his gun and takes it. Before he can move I grab the lid of the suit and force him to look at me.
"Now who are you looking for?"
"What?"
"Come on idiot. Who are you looking for?" I demand
"Scott. Scott, Stiles, Kira or Malia"
"Good, now what are they looking for?"
"Uhhh" he stutters and I roll my eyes annoyed at him. "Mushrooms" he shouts out
"Mushrooms? Cremini? Portobello? Oyster? Shiitake? Magic?" I yell back, agitated.
"Reishi, Reishi Mushrooms" he says calmly.
"Good" I say and release him but he just stands there looking at me.
"GO!" Lydia shouts from beside me, pointing to the building and McCall takes off and we all watch as he goes inside. Turning around I face the others more so Stilinski who is staring at me with his arms crossed over his chest and is right eyebrow raised.
"Magic Mushrooms?" He asks amused.
"It worked didn't it?"
A few minutes with Liam following McCall with his hearing and me attempting to we inform the others of what's happening.
"Something's wrong" Liam says. "Is that Stiles? He's with someone" Trying harder, I listen to what is going on
"...or it might've been the cafeteria. It was definitely one of those two though"
"I'm going to count to three and then I'm going to kill you" The other person says and I gasp.
"What? What is it?" Lydia asks us
"He's going to kill him" Liam says
Turning around, I look at the sheriff. "He's going to kill Stiles" The Sheriff try to move closer but I stop him "You'll never get there in time besides Rafael is closer" Nodding hesitantly he agrees
"...I think I can kill you. I just thought the countdown would make it more exciting" The Man/Assassin says. "So... One"
"He's counting!" I gasp out.
"Two" The assassin says and a gunshot ring out.
"NO!" I yell.
"G! Listen!" Liam yells to me. Reluctantly I do.
"...Come from?" A familiar voice says. And I sigh in relief.
"He's fine, Stiles is fine" Liam informs the other two.
"Stiles listen, I got a call from Melissa. I don't know what it means. She said there is an antidote, it's in the volt, Reishi Mushrooms"
"Wait. What in the volt?" Stiles asks breathing deeply.
"It's in a jar on one of the shelves, she said to tell Scott. It's in the volt" McCall explains and then there is retreating footsteps.
Still listening I wait anxiously as Stiles gets to the volt and pangs on the door yelling for my Brother. And then it stops. Tears streaming down my face, I listen to three slowing heartbeats in the volt.
"Reishi, Scott I was them in a jar on one of the shelves, Reishi" Kira's voice rings from inside the volt. Gasping.
Scott P.O.V.
I listen to the voices of my best friend and my girlfriend, whilst leaning on the volt do in exhaustion and in that moment, I think of everything and everyone, the night I got bit, the night we defeated Peter, the night Allison died, when Stiles was no longer the Nogitsune. Everything. Images flash through my mind as I think about why I do this, why I fight each day against different supernatural creature.
Meeting Allison.
Driving in the jeep with Stiles.
Dancing with Grace.
Laughing with Lydia.
Biting Liam.
Talking to my Mom.
Kira handing me the clump of paper she researched.
Roaring at the Coyote Malia and then watching as she turns back into a human.
Talking to the Sheriff.
Training with Derek.
Playing Lacrosse with Isaac.
Working with Deaton.
Being hit but Jacksons' car on the first day back.
Being shot in the arm by Argent.
Meeting Cora.
Watching Erica walk into the cafeteria as a newly turned werewolf.
Finding Boyd in the ice rink.
All these images fly through my mind and then a voice. The voice of a very familiar 15 year old girl.
"Scotty you don't give up. You don't get to give up because while we're trying not to die we still need to live"
We still need to live. Using the last of my strength I pull myself up and force my eyes to change, then look around and see a jar sitting on a shelf glowing gold and purple. Stumbling my way to it I grab onto the shelf and use it to pull myself up so I can reach the jar. Struggling to get to it I reach my hand up and push the jar off the shelf, shattering it into pieces and releasing the contents into the atmosphere, breathing it in.
Stumbling my way back to the volt door I open it and fall to my knees next to stiles on the floor, as I try to catch my breath. Stiles puts his hand on my shoulder the on the side of my face in relief.
Standing up, Stiles and I go back into the volt to check on the girls. As I move to Kira he goes to Malia. Helping her up we a=watch as Stiles tried to get her attention only to be ignored and brushed off when he puts his hand on her shoulder. Watches as she walks out without a word Kira and I turn back to Stiles who looks at the ground where Malia was and picks up a piece of paper. Most likely the Deadpool with her name on it as Malia Hale.
The sound of Two pairs of footsteps ring out throughout the School basement halls and I turn back to the door Just in time to see a mess of blonde hair hit into me with extreme force, wrapping its arms around my neck and it's head into my shoulder.
Feeling Kira slip from me I wrap my arms around my little sister and attempt not to squish her. Looking over her shoulder I watch as Kira pulls Liam into a friendly hug and him returning it. Feeling my shirt getting wet I push the blonde away from me slightly and look at her face.
Wiping the tears of her cheeks I look into her red puffy eyes and smile.
"Hey, hey, hey. We're okay. We're okay now" I reassure her and she looks around and pulls herself out of my arms and throws herself on Stiles.
He laughs, wraps his arms around her and kisses her head. "Hey Gracie" He mumbles into her hair.
Looking at Liam I walk over and place my hand on his shoulder and squeeze it in reassurance. Earning a nod from my Beta.
"Kira!" Grace shouts out and lets go of Stiles and runs to her placing her hands on Kira' shoulders and searches over the Kitsune then pulls her into a hug.
"Were fine now Grace" Kira replies hugging her back.
"Good, good" She says and turns around and looks at us all."Hey what's wrong with Malia? She completely ignored us when we passed her"
"The deadpool has every ones birth names on it. Grace Hathaway, Malia..."
"Hale" she finishes for me and I nod in conformation.
"I told you we should have told her when we found out" She exclaims.
Not arguing I look over my sister and notice a dark purple mark peeking out from under the collar of her jacket. Looking to Stiles he looks at me and confused at why I am looking at him and I look back that Grace and then to him again watching as his gaze finds the same spot as mine.
"I'm killing him" Stiles tells me and I nod silently and watch as he moves to Liam who moves away in confusion.
"My why me?" He stutters out "I didn't do anything"
"You didn't do anything?" I ask walking forward and stand next to Stiles who is now standing 2 feet in front of the Beta glaring at him with his arms crossed over his chest. Feeling the confusion coming of Grace and Kira behind us I extend my arm out behind me to them without even turning from looking at Liam
"Gracie come here please" I ask sweetly. Obeying without question she comes to me with Kira following close behind. Pulling Grace in between Stiles and I. Kira stands on the other side of my best friend and watches in confusion.
Turning to my sister I reach up to her jacket collar and see her eyes go wide in realisation. As I pull the collar down showing the other 5 and a half marks. Hearing Liam gasp I turn back to him and flash my eyes at him, his glow in response.
"Didn't do anything?" I ask and watch as he visibly gulps, nerves rolling off him.
"Hahaha well you see..." Liam stutters out and runs from the room with Stiles chasing after him, yelling out in anger.
Turning back to Grace I look at her I ask "So that promise?"
She blushes and looks down to the stone ground embarrassed.
