Willow ↠ Teen Wolf

[72]

"Willow, Willow." Willow heard someone calling out her name but she felt like she was underwater. "Come on, open your eyes."

Someone slapped her hard across her face making her groan and completely wake up.

"Finally." Malia sighed, sitting in front of the girl. "Where's Stiles?"

"Gone." Willow mumbled swallowing hard, trying to push her emotions away. "I- I need to get out of here. Warn the others."

"I'm coming with you." Malia grabbed Willow's arm when she stumbled. "I also found this." She showed Willow the sheath she found next to the Nogitsune's body.

"Take it." Willow nodded, grabbing the picture. "Let's go."

The werecoyote and the Oread rushed through the closed unit towards their rooms to grab their stuff. Malia told her she'll meet her in front of Ms. Morrell's office and left in a hurry. Willow quickly stuffed her belongings in the duffel bag she brought and slung it over her shoulder.

"You're leaving?" Meredith spoke up making Willow flinch in surprise.

"Yeah." Willow nodded opening the door. "Don't tell anyone."

"I won't." Meredith smiled at the girl, putting her hand on her mouth.

Feeling like she was running out of time, Willow quickly headed towards Ms. Morrell's office as she dodged couple of orderlies.

"What are we doing here?" Willow asked not fond of the older woman.

"She can sign us out." Malia nodded, opening the door. "We need to get out of here."

"And don't try to stop us." Willow added, her eyes shining violet for a moment.

Malia looked at Willow in shock, not knowing she was a supernatural creature as well. Willow was taken aback when the woman smiled at them and signed couple of papers and handing them over.

"Maintain the balance, Willow." She said sounding calm as ever.

"Whatever." Willow brushed off her comment and hurried towards the entrance with Malia.

The orderly at the front desk warily eyed the girls before bringing back the stuff they gave upon entering the place. Willow felt like she could finally breathe when she walked out of the tall gates with the werecoyote next to her.

"Now what?" Malia asked with a small frown as Willow unfolded the picture dated 1943.

"Now we get to the bottom of this."

"Come on, Willow." Allison spoke up nudging the girl's side. "You haven't even touched your ice cream."

"Yeah, it's basically soup now." Lydia commented looking at the bowl sitting in front of her.

After telling them everything that had happened at Eichen House, Allison and Lydia had decided to keep Willow's mind occupied as Kira and Scott were getting the full story from Kira's family. However, they all knew their attempts were futile.

"I'm not hungry." Willow mumbled lying on her bed facedown. "I mean what's the purpose of being an Oread if I'm not going to be any use."

"Do you want me to count all the times you saved someone?" Lydia asked rubbing Willow's back.

"And the times you've been a badass?" Allison added trying to get her spirits up.

"I'm not a badass."

"You fought Peter at school, even before the bite." Lydia commented making Allison nod.

"And Gerard."
