Chapter Text
DEREK:
I have been away from Beacon Hills for just over 7 months but that was enough for me to know that as hard as I try I can't be away from Stiles any longer. He gave me my space over this time, knowing that I needed to get away to clear my head, and he supported me no matter how much it hurt him.
How little I knew of how much he really needed me there. I cannot believe he didn't ask me to come back when he was going through enough to actually make him murder someone so brutally. I never expected to come back to something like this. The sheriff in the ICU fighting for his life and the rest of Scott's pack falling to pieces around him as he tries to save everyone's life's by himself, once again.
I find Scott in the middle of a fight with another werewolf whilst Lydia stands behind a booksh elf . Scott is getting brutally beat up so I decide that I should intervene . I smash through one of the windows leaving glass to shatter over the boy Scott was fighting. They both turn to me, one set of eyes surprised and the other confused.
"Derek...since when were you back?" Scott asks from where he is crouched on the floor.
"Long enough to see everything falling to crap so shut up and accept my help" I reply before leaping over to help him up from the floor.
"No matter how much help you get Scot you still wont beat me" The boy laughs "Your pack is scattered and it's all your fault, who would have thought that perfect McCall would pick an old friend from years ago over his best friend since childhood...well I'm glad you did because it will make it so much more easier for you when I kill Stiles" The boy taunts and that’s enough for me to hate the boy standing in front of me. I roar when he threatens the life of stiles then I am lunging towards him with my claws bared.
After a long and bloody fight we manage take down the boy who I soon learned was called Theo. He is laying bloody and dying at our feet, and I feel no sadness for the young boy at my feet who could be no more than 18 years of age.
"Oh Scott you think you have gotten the best of me now...but let me tell you something" Theo gasps out around all the blood surrounding him. I feel another presence behind me and I know without looking that it is Lydia who has tears in her eyes.
"You son of a bitch" Lydia gasps as she tries to keep the tears at bay but I can see that she is struggling to keep them in.
"looks like the banshee has figured out my lie that has cost you your best friend" Theo laughs wetly
"What do you mean?" I ask him, worry burning it's way through my chest at the idea of Stiles being hurt.
"I lied when I told you about the way Stiles killed that guy... I'm the one that beat him to death, Stiles is the one who killed the boy by accident and now you can never make it up to him and you will never find him again" Theo laughs then with a wet cough and a painful breath he goes still, a trickle of blood coming out of his still smiling mouth.
I look over at Scott in horror before I am sprinting anywhere and everywhere that Stiles may be.
THOMAS:
I wake up in a sterile blue and white room to find myself attached to many wires that are attached to a machine that keeps beeping along to what must be my heartbeat.
A woman walks in just at that moment holding a clipboard in her hand, she smiles at me and for some reason she reminds me of someone but I can't seem to place it.
"Hello there my name is Nurse Barton...how are you feeling?" She asks me when she reaches the side of the bed.
"Confused and slightly dizzy" I answer her
"That's to be expected, you hit your head pretty hard, but here take these It should clear things up for you" She tells me then hold out a small tub of pills. Without thinking much of it I take the several pills inside the tube.
Slowly my head begins to clear and I remember everything that has happened and why I am sitting in this hospital room. My eyes meet the eyes of the nurse sitting in front of me with a smile on her face because she knows that I am better now.
"Hello Thomas and welcome back to WCKD"
