It's been a few days since the attempted murder of our lives. Stiles and I were over at The Mccall's house for this new plan. The sun beamed inside through the windows.
" Is three enough?" Kira asked as she had the three laptops on the table. Liam looked very nervous.
" Depends on how many cameras they have... But I think so." Stiles said as I saw Liam slightly nervous.
" Are we really doing this?" Liam asked us.
" We have to. It's the only way to see this through." I said as I placed my hands on the table. My hair coming off my shoulders.
" But isn't it kind of dangerous...?" Liam asked even more nervous than before.
" It's incredibly dangerous and borderline idiotic." Stiles said as I chuckled.
" Have you guys done something like this before?" Liam asked us.
" Something dangerous? Or something idiotic?" Stiles asked him.
" I think it's a "yes" to both…" KIra remarked to us.
" It's all or nothing. You don't have to be there." I told Liam as he shook his head. Oh boy.
" I'm not scared!" He replied as Stiles put his hand up.
" Then you're borderline idiotic." He said to the young Beta.
" If we do this, we don't know what's coming for us. You know that, right?" Stiles said as I saw Kira becoming nervous herself. Awe man.
" How do we know something's definitely coming?" Kira asked as Scott sighed.
" Because the tape from Garrett's bag said "visual confirmation required." " Scott explained as Stiles came up.
" Simon said the same thing- he couldn't get paid by the Benefactor until he had proof that you guys were dead." Stiles said as I shivered at the creepy thought. I also worried about Stiles as he was almost a victim.
" So, the idea is... What if you kill someone on the Deadpool, but you can't send the proof?" Scott asked us.
" You don't get paid." Kira says as Liam was swaying back and forth.
" But how does that get us any closer to the Benefactor?" Liam asked in concern.
" He still needs to know if the target is really dead." Scott said as I perked.
" Especially if it's someone high on the list. Someone like a True Alpha." I explained to the young Beta.
" So, if he wants visual confirmation." Liam said with a dreaded tone.
" He's going to have to come himself." Scott said before Noshiko came in and took both Kira and him upstairs.
" This is going to be fucked, I can feel it." I said as I went outside with Stiles following me.
" He isn't going to be taken." Stiles said pulling me in for an embrace. I saw the flickering before it went dark. We watched from a distance as an ambulance showed up and took Scott. We got into my Camaro and drove there.
" I hope this goes well." I said to myself as we parked.
" It will. We have to do this." Stiles said as we went inside the hospital, we heard Melissa's screams and cries. Noshiko took us to the morgue where Scott's body was. Melissa came in as she wiped her tears away.
" I still hate this plan. I mean, this is pretty significantly terrifying- he looks dead." She said as Noshiko gave a small smile.
" Give me your hand." She told her. I watched as Melissa placed her hand on Scott's chest. The relief on her face screamed peace.
" Is that enough to keep a Werewolf alive?" Melissa asked her as she rubbed her hands together.
" Enough for an Alpha." Noshiko replied.
" How much time do we have?" Melissa asked with worry in her voice. I hated that we had to do this.
" Forty-five minutes." Noshiko replied to her simple question.
" What happens after that?" Melissa asked as we all looked at her, our expressions unchanged from what we knew.
" I bring him back the same way." Kira said calmly.
" No, I mean, what happens if he stays like this longer than forty-five minutes?" Melissa asked the real question. My heart hurt to tell her the answer.
" No one's told her?" Noshiko asked exasperated.
" What? What happens after forty-five minutes?" Melissa demanded.
"...He dies." She replied. I saw the full worry and panic flare on her face. Stiles pulled out his phone and showed me that Argent got a hold of him.
" We will be back. Argent needs us." Stiles told Melissa as I saw her face contort with more worry. I left with Stiles and peeled out of the driveway to get to the Argent's building. We scrambled our asses to his garage. He already had a laptop out and ready. We watched as he typed. ' Scott McCall dead. Pay Required.'
" You are kidding right?" I asked him. Argent gave a confused look.
" That's your assassin-speak?" Stiles asked as Argent looked at us confused.
" I said "He's dead." What more do you want?" He asked us.
" It's a little dry... You could have said something like, "Target has been neutralized." "The crow flies at midnight," that's always cool." Stiles says as I roll my eyes and chuckle deeply.
" Just feels kind of base." I said as Argent turned the computer to Stiles.
" Type this. "Visual confirmation isn't possible. Police coming to claim body in forty minutes." " Argent says as Stiles types quickly before saying more.
" Tell him "Number one on the list is dead. I killed him. And, if the wire transfer isn't completed in forty minutes..." He continued before grabbing the laptop and typing "I'M COMING FOR YOU" into the chat screen on his laptop.
" That's not fucked at all." I said as Argent grabbed a bag before we all went to my Camaro and went back to the hospital. Stiles and I went to the room where Kira and Liam set up the laptops.
" I'm here. You ready?" Argent asked over the phone.
" Try it now." He told us. We linked up all the cameras. Thank god!
" We are good." I told him before hanging up. A few minutes went by before Liam spoke up.
" Is that supposed to look like that?" Liam asked us as I saw one of the cameras had gone out.
" No. No, it's not." Stiles said as I groaned.
" Fuck man, someone did something." I say as the chill rushes me hard.
" Where is that?" Kira asked us. Stiles checked it over.
" The roof. Someone's gonna have to go check it out." I say as Kira nods.
" I'll go. It shouldn't be trouble." She tells us. Oh hell no!
" Whoa, whoa... This might not just be a malfunction." Stiles tells her. I don't want people to leave.
" That's why I'm bringing this." She replied before showing her sword.
" I'm coming with you!" Liam told her. Oh great!
" Please don't get killed or mauled. Too much is happening for such a short amount of time." I told them.
" We have to be sure. We will be right back." Liam said as he tried to sound brave.
" Okay... And you're both coming right back. Immediately." Stiles told them before I watched them leave.
" I'm worried for them." I said holding my arms. Something felt so off, what was it?
" I know, I feel like they can handle it." Stiles told me as he embraced me. I sighed into it and relaxed. It fell short as I saw the camera go out.
" We need to find Argent now!" I said as Stiles went wide-eyed as he checked the laptops. We ran out of the room and found him in the hall. Thank god!
" The power's out in the whole building. I lost all the cameras. We don't know what to do." Stiles said as Argent rubbed his beard and then took a stance.
" Stay with Scott. Text me if you see or hear anything." Argent gave us the order before leaving himself.
" And this just got a lot more complicated." I groaned as Stiles nodded.
" It's fucking crazy." Stiles said as we walked the hall to the morgue. We paced in front of the wall as time wasn't on our side.
" Stiles, call him. Something is wrong. No one comes back here." I said as Stiles nodded worriedly.
" Come on, come on... Answer the phone... Answer the phone, Argent! Come on, Argent, answer the phone... Why are you not answering the phone?" Stiles asked before the crash came through. Argent was on the floor. The fuck!
" I was right. Stiles, Raven get out of here!" He yelled at us. I was about to grab Stiles and run, but I froze as the double door opened to reveal Kate.
" Get out of the way, you two. I'm taking the body." She said vindictive.
" Why? Visual confirmation?" Stiles asked I could see the anger in his eyes as my blood began to get hot.
" Don't worry, handsome- I'm not the Benefactor." She said coyly as she began to walk towards him.
" Then what do you want with the body?" Argent asked as Kate smirked.
" I wish I could tell you." She said mysteriously. Kate tried to come forth, but I went for her and she slapped me into a wall. I groaned as I saw Argent catch her with a gun under her chin.
" I always forget you carry two." She said with a light growl.
" Bitch I'm upholding my promise." I said as my anger came up. She stared at me before looking back at Argent. I felt blood coming off my forehead.
" Back off!" Argent growled at her as Kate played with him.
" You sure you can pull the trigger fast enough?" She asked him like a predator playing with food.
" I don't want to." Argent told her as he looked to have an internal struggle.
" You're not going to kill me." Kate said with a grin.
" I'm not going to let you take his body." Argent told his sister before I spoke up. The bigger picture is still alive and ready to fire.
" She's going to do many things if we let her go easy." I said as I got up, blood rushing from my head.
" Okay, well... obviously, you guys have a lot to talk about... So, maybe I saw some coffee, a vending machine, outside...?" Stiles said trying to get out, but Kate almost tried to leave the gun line, but Argent had her right where he wanted her.
" Listen to me, Kate- we have a plan." Argent told her sternly.
" If killing Scott was part of it, you're worse than me." Kate sneered at us.
" He's telling the truth- we're trying to get to the Benefactor." Stiles told her harshly.
" Never act as if what we do is lower than you bitch." I said as I walked over to Stiles as I glared killer daggers at Kate.
" If you didn't notice, you're on that list, too- and you're worth more than most." Argent said as I heard the anger and emotion in his words.
" That's why I'm here." Kate said with a smirk.
" Then back off and let us do what we planned. Take the Berserkers and go." Argent demanded.
" Kate, please. We have a plan." Argent said as he pleaded with her. Kate growled and left. Kira came running into the room. I yanked open the door and pulled Scott's body out. I watched as Kira placed her hand on his chest and let the sparks fly. Scott took a deep breath in and came around.
" Oh, holy fuck!" I screamed in relief as Scott and Kira kissed.
" What happened? Did it work?" He asked Stiles and I. I shook my head at him. Liam came into the room with this worried look and it was in Kira's direction. Oh no!
" What?" Kira asked him as she was out of breath.
" It's your mother. She's hurt." He said almost in a shaken state. I watched as Kira ran out of the room. I felt very lightheaded.
" If that wasn't the worst night I've had, I don't know what is." I said getting up and wiping the blood from my forehead from Kate striking me.
" You ok?" Argent asked as Stiles kept me standing.
" I'm keeping my promise to rip a chunk from your bitch of a sister." I said as Stiles gave me a napkin to wipe the blood. I wiped it away and felt it wasn't healing. It hit me at once in my thoughts. My power was gone!
" Son of a bitch." I groaned. We had to scuttle out of there as things were getting too crazy for us. I drove us back to Stiles' place. I got out of the car and my head was pounding.
" If my headache doesn't stop. I swear to god." I said placing my hand on my wound.
" You will be ok, I promise." Stiles said as I smiled. He kissed my forehead and led me upstairs.
" Hey... Where have you been? We were worried about you." Stiles said as we got into his room, there stood Malia.
" Talking to Peter." She replied as I watched her.
" Okay... You think that's a good idea?" He asked her.
" He's a manipulative asshole. He isn't the type to keep good company with." I said as I sat on the bed.
" If he can help me find my mother, I don't think I care." She said as I leaned forward.
" That night I caused the car crash." Malia said as her face looked full of hidden anger.
" You mean when you were out-of-control on the full moon…" Stiles said as I took his hand in mine.
" There's a part I didn't tell you two about. Right before we got in the car, my mother... my adoptive mother, I guess... we got into this huge fight. I don't even remember what it was about, but... I remember what I said." Malia says as I hear the nervousness.
" I said, "I wish you were all dead." " She said as she rubbed her hands together, the deep nervousness coming off of her was loud even for me.
" Killing doesn't run in a family." Stiles tells her as I stood up.
" Maybe it does in mine. Or ours." She said as I nodded shyly.
" Somehow it always finds itself back in Hale's bloodline." I said as I clutched my chest. She nodded before leaving. I began to bite my finger while being nervous.
" Hey, you ok?" He asked me.
" Yeah, I'm ok." I told him. He shook his head at me.
" No, you aren't." He said coming up to me and grabbing my arms lightly.
" You are hiding something." He said as I looked down.
" You can tell me anything." Stiles said as I looked up at him. My emotions getting the best of me.
" It's my powers." I told him as I felt the tears leaving my eyes.
"They're gone. They're gone! They're gone! I don't know what to do!" I said crying and sobbing. He pulled me into his arms and I fell into it.
" I don't know what to do Stiles." I cried as the sobs wracked my body with fear, pain, and everything else I'd been bottling up inside.
" I'm fucking terrified!" I cried into his arms. He held me extremely tight as the echoes of my cries enwrapped the house.
" I have you here. Safe and sound. No one is going to get to you. Let me protect you." He whispered in my ear as I felt myself beginning to hiccup. All I knew was that this wasn't over. Who was going to come for me, my brother and my friends?
