|Chapter 17|
In the hospital I stood along with Jackson as Lydia was in one of the hospital beds as I keep running what just happened inside my head.
Jackson gets closer still with Lydia in his arms.
“What happened?” I ask desperately worried about my friend. Me and Lydia had bad blood but in this situation it all soaked away. Nobody deserves to have this happen to them.
“Stiles – Stiles called me. I found her laying like this on the pitch.”
“Where’s Stiles?” I ask.
“I don’t know.” He says looking at the body of Lydia Martin which was now full of blood.
“Help!” I shout.
I was so worried about Lydia but a part of me is still thinking about where Stiles was and was he okay?
I have tried calling him 100 times and he is not answering me.
Mr Stilinski gets in and walks towards me and Jackson as he puts his hands in Jackson’s collar slamming him towards the wall.
“What the hell happened to that girl?” Sheriff asked as anger pushed itself onto his face.
“I don’t – I don’t know. I went out looking for her-” Jackson starts explaining exactly the same thing he explained to me but Sheriff Stilinski cuts him off.
“What, you just happened to wander into the middle of that field and you just found her like that? Don’t lie to me son.” The older man says.
“He’s not lying Mr. Stilinski.” I say hoping that Mr Stilinski will believe me.
“What happened to her? She’s your girlfriend. It is your responsibility!” Sheriff says as he demands more answers from Jackson.
“No, she’s not, okay? She didn’t go to the formal with me.” Jackson says as the Sheriff looks at Jackson for any type of sign that he is lying.
“Then who’d she go with?” Sheriff asks.
“You really want to know?” Jackson asks with a smirk on his face. Not the time to be cocky Jackson. “She went with Stiles.” He says as Sheriff’s eyes widen as they find mine as I nod.
“Someone better find my son!” Sheriff says letting go of Jackson.
My dad bursts out of the door and runs towards me giving me a tight hug.
“Kendall – Kendall, are you okay?” He asks using my second name as always, putting on of his hands on the back of my head assuringly as I nod into the hug.
“I’m okay.” I say to the hug.
Please, let Stiles be okay.
//
I am sitting down as my dad went back to the police department as he had more office work to do.
I see Allison walk out from the elevator and I jump to hug her.
“Are you okay?” I ask as Allison looks a bit dizzy and lifeless.
She nods and whispers a yes as she walks around me to go to the glass to see Lydia.
She puts her hand on the glass as I look at her intently. What happened to her?
She turns back to me as she seemed to break from her daze.
“Did you know about Scott?” She asks.
“What?” I ask.
“That he is a – werewolf.” She says whispering the last part looking around so that no one heard.
“What – yes.” I say as she looks shocked.
“Why wouldn’t you tell me?” She asks looking intensely into my eyes.
“Scott didn’t want to and – also because he was scared that you would become a werewolf psycho hunter just like your aunt and father.” I say not regretting any word.
“They are not psycho.” She says.
“Then why are they running around chasing innocent people that just so happen to be werewolves. Does their existence effect them so much?” I ask.
“You don’t know what your talking about, Dayton.” She says as she walks back to the elevator as I go back to my seat.
It’s going to be a long night. I had no idea.
//
I hear a rushed footsteps and I look up to finally see Stiles. My eyes water as I feel the relief that he is safe. His father quickly gets in front of him and bombards his son with questions. After some time of them talking and shouting Stilinski answers a phone call as Stiles quickly runs to my embrace.
“Thank god. You’re okay.” I smile to the hug.
“Are you okay?” He asks.
“I am.” I say. “Never leave me like that.” I say.
“Well, you are going to leave me tomorrow.” He says sadly as we part from the hug.
Way to make this depressing.
“Did you find anything?” I ask the buzzcut.
“A pendant. My dad found a pendant. It belonged to Allison’s aunt, Kate Argent. She’s supposed to be in jail.” He says.
“Oh my god.” I say.
“Yeah.” He says. “We need to go find Scott.” He says as he starts walking with me following him down the hallway.
Jackson quickly gets in front of us blocking our way.
“Hey, where are you guys going?” Jackson asks.
“To find Scott.” I say.
“You don’t have a car.” He says.
“No, shit.” Stiles says sarcastically. “I am aware of that. Thank you.” He adds.
“Here. I’ll drive come on.” Jackson says bringing up some keys.
“Look, just because you feel guilty all of the sudden doesn’t make it okay, alright? Half of this is still your fault.” Stiles says.
“Look, I have a car. You guys don’t. Do you want my help or not?” Jackson asks already probably getting pissed.
“All right.” I say accepting his help.
“Did you bring the Porsche?” Stiles asks.
“Yeah.” Jackson says showing his keys.
“All right.” Stiles says as he gets a hold of Jackson’s keys. “I’ll drive.” He says.
We start to walk towards the exit but we are blocked by Chris Argent and two of his friends?
“Boys, I was wondering if you could tell me where Scott McCall is.” He asks and I roll my eyes.
Can this day get worst?
“Scott McCall? I haven’t seen him since the dance. Yeah.” I say. I think I am pretty good at lying. “You guys?” I ask Stiles and Jackson not leaving the Argent’s eyes.
“Same.” Stiles says letting out a slightly nervous chuckle. “Jackson, you?” He asks.
“I-” Jackson starts as he swallows nervously searching for an answer. He’s definitely not good at lying.
I put my hand in my face as I take in the stupidity. We are so dead.
“Oh, for the love of God.” Stiles mumbles before all three of us are thrown inside a room.
“Ouch.” I let out as one of the bald guys had a hard grip on my upper arm.
“Let’s try this again. Where is Scott McCall.” The Argent asks us again.
//
I fight against a grip of the taller man.
Argent grabs Stiles and slams him into the wall.
“Hey – leave him –” I start but I am interrupted by a hand that is placed in front of my mouth.
“Let me ask you a question, Stiles. Have you ever seen a rabid dog?” Chris asks the buzzcut.
“No, I could put it on my to – do list if you just let us go.” Stiles says with breaks on his voice.
“Well, I have and the only thing I’ve ever been able to compare it to is seeing a friend of mine turn on a full moon. Do you wanna know what happened?” Argent says readjusting his grip on Stiles’ shirt.
“Not really, no offence to your storytelling skills.” Seriously Stiles? Not a good time to use sarcasm.
“He tried to kill me, and I was forced to put a bullet in his head. The whole while that he lay there dying, he was still trying to claw his way towards me, still trying to kill me, like it was the most important thing that he could do with his last breath. Can you imagine that?” The Argent asks Stiles.
“No, it sounds like you need to be a little bit more select –” Stiles tries to say another sarcastic comment but is interrupted once again by Chris.
“Did Scott try to kill you on the full moon? Did you have to lock him up.” Argent asks.
“Yeah, I did. I had to handcuff him to a radiator. Why? Would you prefer if I locked him in the basement and burned the whole house down around him?” Ouch
Chris Argent’s hand turns into a fist as he looks angry about the accusation.
“I hate to dispel a rumour, Stiles, but we never did that.” Argent says.
Yeah it was your psychotic bitch of a sister.
“Oh right. Derek said you guys have a code. I guess no one ever breaks it.” Stiles says.
“Never.” Chris says. Right.
“What if someone does?” Stiles asks.
“Like who?” The argent asks with a curious expression on his face.
“Your sister.” That’s right.

We pull up to the Hale House in Jackson’s Porsche. Both boys get out of the porsche as I stay inside looking into the scene.
Allison, Scott, Chris Argent, Alpha. Everyone was there. Full out war and I hope everything ends up well for everybody.
Actually. Everyone but the Alpha, like that bitch needs to die like yesterday.
I see Scott coming flying out the window followed by Peter or better known as the Alpha.
I hit the horn on Jackson’s Porsche to get the Alpha’s attention before Stiles throws one of Lydia’s molotov cocktail at Peter.
I get out of the car keeping my eyes in the scene.
Peter catches the molotov cocktail as Scott shouts Allison’s name before throwing her bow at her telling her to shoot.
Allison gets in position before shooting an arrow and it hits in the beaker and Peter’s arm ignites.
I look towards Jackson as Jackson throws the second molotov cocktail at the Alpha. With that, Peter’s whole Alpha body burns. He tries to make a leap towards Allison but Scott cuts it short as he leaps towards the Alpha punching him in the face which sends the Alpha staggering away and eventually collapses. Shifting back partially into human form.
Stiles looks at me proud of all of us and smiles as I smile back at him.
“This is great team work by the way.” I say and he chuckles.
I see Allison and Scott kiss which makes Scott turn back into his own self without facial hair or claws. This sight makes me happy because I was able to see them progress and I can’t be happier that they are happy with each other.
In the distance I see Derek walk towards the burnt body of Peter. Scott noticed this as he runs towards Peter and Derek.
“Wait!” My best friend screams at Derek. “You said the cure comes from the one who bit you. Derek. If you do this, I’m dead. Her father – her family – what am I supposed to do?” Scott asks as if he is pleading for his life.
“You’ve – already – decided.” Peter states slowly struggling to speak and breath. “I can smell it in you!” He says before Derek cuts his throat. And just like that, Peter is dead as a feeling of relief flies over me, yet I am worried for Scott.
Is he not going to have a cure?
Derek turns back to us as his eyes flash a red colour.
“I’m the Alpha now.” He states while smirking.
//
I am now packing as today is my last day in Beacon Hills.
“Do you really have to go?” Stiles asks as he is helping me pack.
“Yeah. I really have no choice.” I say sadly keeping my eyes on the clothes as I don’t want to make eye contact as I know I will break into tears.
I fold every piece of clothing neatly and place it in my suitcase.
“I’m going to miss you. Hell the whole town is going to miss you.” He says and I chuckle.
“Wow. Didn’t know I was that important.” I say closing the suitcase.
“You are important to me.” He says which makes me smile and my cheeks turn red as a tomato.
“You are important to me too.” I say turning to him for the first time today. “I’m never going to forget you.” I say.
He gets closer to me and puts his finger in my chin bringing it up to look him in the eyes. We both lean in and I feel his smooth lips against mine. I put my hands in his waist deepening the kiss.
We break apart and I already feel the void of his lips against mine.
“I’m glad I did that before you went.” He says and I chuckle.
“Me too.” I say with a smile.
//
I was now outside along with all my close friends. Scott, Stiles, Allison, Danny and even Jackson.
I put my suit case in the back of the car.
I turn to Allison and smile tightly at her. We kind of had a fight yesterday in the hospital but I don’t want to have any bad blood with anyone when I leave.
“I’m going to miss you.” She says to the hug. Oh no the water works.
“Don’t say that otherwise I’m not going to make it inside the car without crying.” I say chuckling.
“See you someday.” I say.
I turn to Danny and give him a tight hug.
“Good luck with your crush.” I say and he chuckles.
“Good luck with yours.” He says nodding towards Stiles.
I turn to Jackson and we just shake hands.
“Tell Lydia that I’ll miss her and that I’m sorry for anything.” I say.
“I’m sorry for anything.” Jackson says.
“Yeah, you were a bit of a wanker sometimes.” I laugh. “It’s okay. Good luck.” I say and he nods.
I’m glad we were able to part our differences before I went.
I turn to my best friends and my eyes water even more as I remember how welcoming they were and how special they made me feel.
I hug both of them at the same time.
“Ugh, good luck. I love you guys.” I say as tears come down my salted cheeks.
“Good bye my British friend.” Scott says. “You are going to be missed.” He says.
“Hey, I’m not dead, you wanker!” I say as we laugh.
I turn to Stiles as we hug each other and the thought that it might be the last breaks my heart.
“I love you.” He says.
“I love you too.” I whisper.
“Keep in touch.” He says as I notice that he is about to start crying. Which is a surprise to me as I rarely saw Stiles crying.
I turn around wiping the tears off my face and going inside the car.
I close the door and open the window as I wave to almost complete group of friends as they wave back.
Please, keep them safe. I plead to God.
I’m going to miss the Light town. But I know that I will be back. I’ll be back.
And that is the end of the first book 😭😭😩😩. I love this book so much and it means so much to me. Thank you guys for everything and there will be a sequel I just don’t know when I’m going to start it. I love you guys.
Ttyl ❤️❤️❤️💗💗
