So, planning "killing" Scott wasn't on my card today. But here I was with Scott, Liam, Kira and Stiles doing it. Liam looked at us "isn't this kind of dangerous?" I nodded "but it isn't the first time we did something totally reckless." Liam nodded as Scott looked at him "you don't have to part of it if you don't want to." Liam shook his head saying he wasn't scared. Stiles looked at him "then you're borderline idiotic. If we do this, we don't know what's coming for us. You know that, right?" Kira asked them if there were sure something was coming for us, as Scott nodded saying the tape from Garrett's bag said visual confirmation was needed. Stiles nodded saying someone else said the same, you don't get paid unless the Benefactor see proof. Liam looked at us "but he does that get us any closer to the Benefactor?" Scott looked at us "he still needs to know the target is really dead" as Stiles said especially when the target is someone high on the list as Scott is. Liam went "so if he wants visual confirmation." Scott looked at him "he's going have to come get it himself." I just shook my head.
I looked at Scott "if you're planning for this to work, you better get your mom on board seeing as we're luring a crazy person is coming for her "dead" son's body." He nodded "she, Argent and Kira's mom already know. My mom isn't happy about it but she's going along with it." I nodded "what do you want me to do?" Scott looked at me "just be on call in case we might need you as a surprise attack." I nodded "oh good I'll be on the outside worrying about everyone." Sti looked at me "we're gonna be alright Nic. This plan is going to work." I nodded "I know, but I'm still worried." He nodded. I heard my phone go off and saw that Derek texted me asking me if I can come to the loft. I texted him back saying I would be there in 20. I looked at them "i need to go. Derek needs me for something. Text me when you guys need me." They nodded as they said they would. I nodded as I left and headed to my car and got in heading towards the loft.
Once I got there, I went straight up to the loft which I regretted cause I heard voices. Once I rounded the corner, I saw Braeden bandaging up Derek as I looked at them "what's going on?" Derek looked at me "oh nothing to worry about Nic just being slow at healing." Braeden looked at him "you're not healing at all. Show me your real eyes." Derek sighed as he looked at both of his as I noticed his eyes didn't glow. Braeden looked at him "the wound is a graze just make sure it doesn't get infected. So, its' everything then? No glowing eyes, no healing." Derek nodded "no hearing, speed, everything." I looked at him "when did this happen?" He looked at me "when we got back from Mexico whatever Kate did to me it's taking my powers." I shook my head "of course it has to do with psycho bitch." Braeden ignored me and looked at him "strength?" Derek looked at her "I can still win a fight." Braeden nodded and told him they should test that theory as they started to fight. I sighed and sat on the stairs that led to Derek's room. I watched as Braeden punched, kicked and flipped him realizing I wasn't in that much pain I felt a little but not much like I always when he got his ass kicked. They finished as I whispered, "we're losing the link." Derek looked at me "what Nic?" I stood up with tears in my eyes and ran upstairs into his room slamming the door as I walked to the corner and leaned against the wall sliding down it crying.
I heard the door open as someone sat next to me pulling me into their arms. I knew it was Derek as I buried my head into his shoulders. He rubbed my back "it's gonna be ok Nic, I promise." I looked at him "how is it Derek? You're losing your abilities. At a time when there's a psychopath with a dead pool out there and your worth $15 million and you can't protect yourself." He looked at me "so, I'll have Braeden train me." I took my head off of his shoulder and pushed him away "yeah you would like that wouldn't you?" He looked at me confused "what's with attitude Nic? Didn't you just say the other day, I wasn't your boyfriend and now your jealous cause I said Braeden could train me. But it's all right for you to hang out with Parrish?" I looked at him "don't bring Jordan into this." He looked at me "alright how about the guys you screwed after you turned down my proposal and just left?" I shook my head "oh like you didn't screw skanks after I left. And that was a low fucking blow Derek bringing up the proposal you know why I left." Derek just glared at me "yeah over a stupid promise you made your dead boyfriend. You're my soul mate but yet you have feelings for another guy." I slapped his face "fuck you, Derek! Ryan wasn't just some boyfriend I pictured my life with him. You knew how long it took me to get back to myself and then I found you and I never thought I feel like that again, but I did with you. I didn't ask to feel something for Jordan. But now that we are losing the link it shouldn't matter now." He nodded "fine, be with whoever you want I don't care." I shook my head as I felt my phone go off as I looked it seeing Stiles telling me to get back to the hospital. I looked at him "goodbye Derek, have fun with Braeden." He tried to stop me, but I pushed past him and rand down the stairs and out of the loft.
I got to my car and put my head against the steering wheel and cried feeling my heart break. I took a few minutes to gather myself and then headed to the hospital. Once I got there, I walked in and saw a doctor talking to Melissa knowing he was telling her Scott was dead. Her scream literally killed me as I ran over to her and hugged her. She said she wanted to be alone with Scott as the doctor nodded saying he understood as we walked to where everyone else was as I looked at her "you alright Mel?" She nodded as Mrs. Yukimura took her hand and out it over Scott's chest letting her feel that his heart was still beating. Mel and her left to go be lookouts as Stiles looked at me "you alright Nic?" I shook my head "not really Sti, but now isn't the time. I'll tell everyone later cause you'll should know." He nodded as Chris said he told the Benefactor that Scott was dead. Me and Stiles nodded as we waited for a reply.
After a few minutes we heard the computer go off asking for visual confirmation. Chris looked at Stiles "type this. Visual confirmation isn't possible. Police coming to claim body in forty minutes. Tell him number one on the list is dead. I killed him. And if the wire transfer isn't complete in forty minutes." Stiles nodded and sent the Benefactor what Chris nodded. We waited for an answer as Liam walked around, I looked at him "this is gonna work. Somehow our plans always do, and Scott is going to be alright" Liam just nodded. I felt my phone go off seeing a text from Derek as I ignored it. I just hoped the plan worked and that we a stopped the Benefactor tonight.
The lights went out as we shared a look as Liam asked if it was a malfunction. I shrugged as Kira said she was going to go to the roof and check it out as Liam said he was going to go with her. We watched them leave as Stiles checked the computers. He looked at me and Chris "the power's out in the whole building I lost all the cameras." I sighed as Chris looked at us "stay with Scott. Text me if you see or hear anything." We nodded and watched him leave his Stiles looked at me "wanna tell me what's wrong now?" I sighed "fine, me and Derek might be really over for good alright. And let's leave it at that right now." He nodded as we heard a noise outside the room as I looked at him "call Argent now." He nodded as he tried calling him saying he wasn't answering. We heard a grunt and saw Argent come crashing through the doors as me and Stiles looked at each other.
Chris looked at us "I was right, Stiles, Nic get out of here." We shook our heads as the doors opened and saw Kate and a Berseker come in. I shook my head "fucking great, psycho bitch is here." Kate smirked at me and then looked at Stiles telling him to get out of the way she was taking the body. He shook his head asking her if it was visual confirmation. She laughed "don't worry handsome. I'm not the Benefactor." Chris asked her why she needed the body as she told him she couldn't tell him. I looked at her "you're not taking Scott." She smirked at me "you still pissed about what I did to Derek? Tell me Nic will he feel your pain if one of my Bersekers stabbed you?" I glared at her "try it bitch." She smirked as she looked at one and I just stood my ground.
Chris pointed his gun at her as she looked at him saying he wouldn't shot her. Chris looked at him "listen to me, Kate. We have a plain." Kate looked at him "if killing Scott was part of it, you're worse than me." Stiles nodded saying Chris was telling the truth. Chris said she was on the list too and worth a lot as she that's why she was here. I shook my head as I kept staring down the Berseker. Chris pleaded with her to leave as she nodded and left with the Berseker. Kira and Liam came back and Kira woke Scott. He looked at us "did the plan work?" We shook our heads as he sighed. Melissa came in and told Kira that her mom got hurt as she ran out to check on her. Chris looked at us "guys go home. There's nothing more we can do tonight." We nodded as we left the room and headed to the front entrance.
Once we got outside Stiles looked at me "alright Nic what is going on? You said you and Derek are officially done. And when Kate said something about the link it looked like you were wondering the same thing." I sighed "Sti, not now alright please?" He nodded as I heard my phone go off and sighed seeing that Derek text me asking me to come back to the loft "and my day and night just keeps getting better and better." Stiles and Scott and looked at me "Derek wants to talk." They nodded and told me good luck as I got into my car and headed back to the loft.
Once I got there I walked inside and took the elevator straight up. I walked into the loft and saw Derek waiting for me I looked at him "what no Braeden here to make me jealous?" He shook his head and help up the letter "she went to get some pizza for us. But I wanted to talk cause I read the letter." I looked at him "Derek..." He patted the couch "we need to Nic." I nodded and walked over to the couch and sat down. I looked at him "you go first." He nodded as he took a deep breathe and started. "I'm sorry I know Ryan wasn't some and boyfriend and it was wrong for me to say that is was a stupid promise. I'm still hurting. But after reading the letter I know and understand why you left. You said when you came back you'd like to be friends and maybe one day get back to how we were. I would like to be friends with you Nic you mean to much to me to not have you in my life. Now here's where I'm worried. I don't know what's going on with my wolf powers but I do know is I don't want to lose the link. I want to know when you're hurt or scared cause I will always want to protect you. And I'm just scared I'm losing the thing that makes me well me." He sighed and looked at me "that's all I needed to say."
I nodded when he finished as I laughed a little " I guess it's my turn now. First, I know I said it in the letter but I'm sorry for saying no and running instead of staying and talking. Derek I swear I wanted to say yes trust me. But I wasn't ready I just graduated high school I was scared of getting caught up in you. And I'm sorry for going off on you. We both did things to hurt each other after I left. And I would love for us to be friends. But we owe it to ourselves to be happy even if its with other people. And I don't want to lose the bond either. It's how I know you're safe. I'm going try something alright?" He nodded as I leaned over and kissed him softy feeling the sparks between us like I always did. I pulled away and looked at him "let's see if that worked." He looked at me "how? Punching each other wont work." I nodded as I pulled out a taser and handed it to him. "Tase me I can take it, you know I can." He nodded as he turned it on as I lifted my shirt a little as he asked me if I was ready. I nodded as he put it against my stomach as I felt the electricity go through me as I noticed him flinching a little. He pulled it away "you ok?" I nodded "yeah I'm fine. Did you feel anything?' He nodded " a little bit." I nodded "maybe there's still something there. But like I said we both deserve to be happy." He nodded "maybe your right. I just don't want to lose you from my life completely. I shook my head "you won't Derek. We're still friends." He nodded as we heard Braeden come back with the pizza. I looked at them "I'll leave you guys to it. I had a really long day. See you later." They both nodded as I got up from the couch and headed to the front door and walked out.
Once I got to my car I got in and headed home. When I got home I saw Malia's car in the driveway. I walked inside and saw downstairs empty as I walked to the fridge and got an water. I walked upstairs and checked Stiles' room seeing him and Malia sleeping. I walked to my room and got into my tank top and shorts and then laid down in bed. I grabbed my phone and texted Jordan asking if we could talk in the morning as I stared up at the ceiling waiting for his answer. I heard my phone go off seeing his response saying of course. I smiled putting my phone back down and closed my eyes dreaming of me and Jordan together.
