Willow ↠ Teen Wolf

[54]

"Aunt River!" Willow called out as she entered her house. "Aunt River?" She asked frantically looking around, panicking the more she didn't answer.

In a hurry, Willow started checking every corner of the first floor before running upstairs, tripping on the stairs. She kept calling out her aunt's name in panic as her heart beat started to increase.

"Willow?" Aunt River came out of her bathroom, her hair wrapped in a towel.

"Oh, thank god." Willow engulfed the woman in a hug, making her stagger back from the force.

"Good to see you too, honey." Aunt River chuckled, patting her niece's back.

"You need to get out of town. Go into hiding." Willow pulled back, rushing into her aunt's room and opening up a duffel bag.

"Honey, what are you-"

"You need to leave." Willow cut her off as she started putting necessary items in the bag. "The Darach, the final sacrifice is parents, guardians."

"Willow, stop for a minute." Aunt River tried to calm her niece down but she wasn't having any of it.

"She has taken Sheriff Stilinski and Melissa. The third one might be Allison's dad but I'm not taking any chances." Willow hastily zipped up the bag and held it towards a very confused Aunt River. "I can't lose you."

"Wait, what? They're taken?" Aunt River asked with wide eyes.

"Yes, we're going to find them but first I need to know you're safe." Willow replied with pleading eyes. "Please, call my uncle. Get out of town. At least for two days."

"Honey, I-"

"Please." Willow begged. "You're my last living relative. I need to make sure you're okay." She furiously wiped under her eyes before holding out the bag to her aunt again. "I'll text you when it's safe to come. Just leave for me, please."

"Okay..." Aunt River replied after pondering over for a minute. "But you- you be careful." She pulled Willow in for a hug. "I know you're this powerful Oread but I want you to promise me to stay out of danger, stay safe."

"I promise." Willow nodded as Aunt River pulled back.

"Still my favorite niece." She joked, wiping Willow's cheeks.

"I'm still your only niece."

Willow walked into the school building with hurried steps after getting a call from Stiles that he was there with Lydia. Pushing past the students, she spotted them next to the staircase. Her eyes met Stiles and she nodded at him with a sad smile, meaning she managed to get her aunt to safety. As she was walking towards them, her phone buzzed in her hand.

The Darach took Chris.

She read the text from Isaac three times to make sure she was seeing correctly. By the moment she looked up, she saw Stiles shaking on the spot.

"He said he's having a panic attack." Lydia said with wide eyes, not knowing what to do.

"Sti, come on." Willow quickly wrapped an arm around his waist and helped him walk to the locker room with Lydia.

Stiles was panting heavily as Willow slowly sat him on the floor. Willow got on her knees in front of him with Lydia by her side.

"Sti, focus on something else." Willow put her hands on his cheeks, trying to get him to look at her.

"Like what?" He asked as he kept panting heavily, his eyes looking frantic.

"Happy things." Lydia piped up. "Friends, family-"
