Willow ↠ Teen Wolf

[53]

Trusting her instincts, Willow ran down the stairs towards the garage. She stopped to catch her breath and look around but she didn't see anyone. Seeing movement in the ambulance parked there, she silently prayed to herself and walked towards it hoping it was one of her friends inside the vehicle.

"Sti!" She breathed out in relief when she saw his face.

Stiles quickly opened the doors and pulled her in, locking them after her. He engulfed her in a tight hug, resting his chin on her shoulder. Willow closed her eyes and allowed herself to breathe again as she stayed in his arms, afraid to let go. She was so caught up in the moment, she didn't even realize Cora lying on the gurney until she started coughing.

"I'm sorry Sti. I couldn- I couldn't stop her from taking your dad." Willow choked on a sob, still not letting go of the hug.

"It wasn't your fault." He mumbled taking deep breaths.

"I'm going to find him Sti." She said as he ran his fingers through her hair. "I promise I will. I won't let that bitch hurt him." They finally let go of each other to look at their faces. "Speaking of, where is she?"

"Scott, Peter and Derek. She wants them to get her out of here. The Alphas want her." Stiles explained, anxiously playing with his fingers. "And Lydia?"

"She'll be all right. They took her to a hospital downtown." Willow replied, grabbing his hands.

He looked up at her and saw the look in her eyes. She shot him a weak smile which he returned as she rubbed his hands in a comforting manner. They didn't need to say anything else so they sat in silence, whirlwind of emotions rushing through their bodies when they heard a low growling.

Willow put a finger on her lips and carefully moved towards the door to see who it was. Seeing the twins merged into one, she mouthed it to Stiles and held her breath, afraid her erratic breathing would give them away. Hearing footsteps approaching the ambulance, Stiles wrapped a hand around Willow's arm to pull her back but she looked back at him, her eyes shining violet and faced the door again, ready to pounce on whoever was coming their way.

"Stiles, Stiles!" Scott slammed his hand on the glass. "Open the door." He had an unconscious Peter next to him, barely keeping him up.

"I'll open the door. Sorry." Stiles scrambled to open it as Willow sighed in relief seeing Scott was also okay.

"Help me get him in." Willow grabbed Peter's arm and pulled him up with Stiles, lying him down next to Cora.

"Where's Derek and Jennifer?" Stiles asked Scott who was also relieved to see Willow.

"I have to go back for them and my mom."

"Melissa's here?" Willow asked, feeling something stir in her.

"Okay, two problems." Stiles nodded. "Kali's got the keys to this thing and we just saw the twins like 30 seconds ago." Stiles explained right before they heard banging in the distance.

"Stay here." Scott shut the doors of the ambulance and ran away.

Willow closed her eyes and rested her head on Stiles' shoulder, trying to focus, trying to find the pattern. She saw the Sheriff get taken again but she paid attention to what Jennifer was saying. Guardians. Why would Jennifer go after police enforcement when she had already done warrior sacrifices? Then she felt it. She just knew it in her bones. Lifting her head up she looked at Stiles and put a hand on his cheek. Without saying a word she gently pressed her lips onto his before pulling away.

"Do you trust me?" She asked with a sad smile.

"Of course." He nodded curious why she was asking this now.
