Willow ↠ Teen Wolf

[75]

"Hey, you okay?" Stiles asked Scott as he was driving to Oak Creek.

"Yeah. Yeah." Scott sighed shaking his head. "You don't have to worry about me."

"All right, I'm gonna say it." Isaac spoke up making Willow lift her head from the window and look at him with a frown. "You look like you're dying."

"Isaac." Willow warned him, shaking her head.

"You're pale, thin and look like you're getting worse. And we're all sitting here thinking it." He continued ignoring Willow as Scott looked back with a small glare. "When we find the other you, is he gonna look like he's getting better?"

"What happens if he gets hurt?" Scott asked the million dollar question.

"You mean if he dies, do I die?" Stiles shot back with a small shrug. "I don't care."

"Sti, don't say that." Willow felt her chest tighten as she stuck her head out between their seats.

"Just so long as no one else dies because of me." He mumbled with a defeated look. "I remember everything I did, Scott. I remember pushing that sword into you. I remember twisting it."

"It wasn't you." Scott shook his head but Stiles didn't care.

"I remember kidnapping you." He addressed Willow with a small glance. "I remember Eichen House."

"None of it was you, Sti."

"Yeah but I remember it." Stiles guiltily replied. "You guys gotta promise me. You can't let anyone else get hurt because of me."

Willow sat back, her bottom lip threateningly trembling against her will as she furiously wiped under her eyes. The rest of the drive was silent as they didn't know what to say. Stiles pulled up to the front gates of the internment camp at the same time as Allison and Kira.

Standing in front of the gates, they all looked at each other with uncertain looks. They didn't know what they'd be walking into but it didn't matter.

"We've done this before guys." Scott spoke up, his hands in his pockets. "A couple weeks ago, we were standing around just like this and we saved Malia, remember? That was a total stranger. This is Lydia."

"I'm here to save my best friend." Allison replied with a nod.

"I came to save mine." Scott added looking at Stiles.

"As did I." Willow said meaning both Stiles and Lydia.

"I just didn't feel like doing any homework." Isaac added with a shrug, being the typical Isaac.

"Willow, hey." Allison called out before they walked in. "I brought this for you."

"Oh." Willow took the crossbow from her hands. "Thank you."

"We'll find Lydia, you hold off Kira's mom." Scott said putting a hand on Stiles' shoulder. "Be careful, all off you."

With a nod, they watched him rushing off with Stiles. Willow took in a deep breath and gave a weak smile to Allison, Kira and Isaac.

"Let's do this."

"Kira, turn around and go home." Noshiko greeted them with a warning look. "Take your friends with you."

"I can't." Kira shook her head. "When I looked at the game I realized who I was actually playing. You."

"Call them off." Allison notched an arrow in her bow, pointing it at the Onis.

"You think you can take him alive?" Noshiko asked with a condescending smile. "You think you can save him?"

"What if we can?" Kira asked making her mother raise an eyebrow.
