Willow ↠ Teen Wolf

[33]

"Ah!" Willow screamed, opening her eyes as a searing pain erupted in her side.

"Willow!" She heard someone scream but she couldn't tell who it was.

"Now shut up or the next bullet goes through one of their heads!" Willow clutched her side, opening her eyes to see Matt, Scott, Melissa and Sheriff. "Back to the front McCall."

Willow squeezed her eyes shut, pressing her hand on the bullet wound.

"Willow, honey, breathe." She opened her eyes and saw Sheriff looking at her with worry.

"Just..." Willow breathed out, clenching her jaw. "Whenever there's a psycho in town..." She scoffed with a sarcastic smile. "Why am I always the one bleeding out?"

Sheriff and Melissa shared a concerned look, not knowing what to say.

"At least tell me you're going to lock the fucker away for good." She craned her neck to look at the Sheriff. "Not sorry." She mumbled when she received a pointed look from the adult at her cursing.

"He'll be luck if I only arrest him." Sheriff replied, his hand forming into a fist.

"Wait." Willow said breathlessly. "Where is Stiles? He's not here too, is he?" She managed to crawl back to a wall and sit against it, blood still seeping through her fingers.

"He's here." Sheriff solemnly nodded with a defeated sigh. "What are you doing?!"

"I need to find Stiles." Willow bit back a cry and got on her feet.

"Willow!" Sheriff called out her name, not being able to step closer to her.

"You have a bullet in you. Stop moving!" Now it was Melissa who tried to reason with the injured girl.

Willow took a deep breath and dug her fingers in her wound, not being able to keep a small cry in. She yanked the bullet out of her, dropping it to the floor.

"Now I don't." She leaned back on the wall, breathing heavily. "I can't let him get hurt Sheriff, I can't." Willow said with tears in her eyes when the Sheriff shot her a look of disbelief. "Scott as well." She managed to take one step towards the hallway and turned back. "They're my best friends."

Willow left the adults speechless and even though they knew the trio were best friends, they hadn't expected this. But before Willow could go further, the lights went off followed by rapid gunfire.

"What's happening?" Willow heard Melissa exclaim, fear evident in her voice.

Willow wanted to yell out her friend's names but she didn't want to put them in danger as she made her way around the precinct. Trying to see through the smoke, Willow saw a figure standing in front of her.

"Where do you think you're going?" Willow said putting a hand in front of the guy. "You fucker!" She groaned when Matt punched her side, making her see spots from the pain.

"You should've been nicer to me." Matt gave her smile which made her feel uneasy. "Instead you chose Lahey." He spat out angrily, raising his gun.

This time Willow couldn't keep the scream in as Matt shot her in the leg. She felt hot tears run down her cheeks as she collapsed on the floor. She laid there helplessly as Matt ran away. Willow tried to take this bullet out as well but her hands were shaking too much to get a good grip on it. She knew if she took it out, her body would heal. Slower than a werewolf but still it was better than nothing.

"Taking a nap?" She looked up and saw Derek standing there. Willow shot the Alpha an unamused glare, trying to get up. "Let me." He mumbled, wrapping an arm around her.
