Chapter 21.

"Hey, Stiles, get him out of here. Go to the hospital. Figure out a way to save your dad" Scott yelled over the noise of yet another problem

"Stiles we have to go" Alex told him

Stiles nodded and quickly let go of Noah. Noah began to run and Alex and stiles followed hoping he knew the way out. They continued to run through the maze of tunnels resisting all urges to run back and help out their friends. Even if they had fallen out, every part of them was telling them to turn around but at the same time all stiles could think of was his father slowly dying without any cure as they didn't even know what was causing it. Noah stilinski was relying on his son and that's what had kept stiles legs moving as he ran down every long path and turned every sharp corner until finally they reached the unfortunately locked fence that was their ticket out of there.

"Step back. I think I can break through it. It's just sometimes, most of the time, I lose control. So you better step back" Noah warned

Alex and stiles stepped back and watched as Noah began to shift into whatever mixed creature he was forced to become. He let out load painful groans as bones began to grow from his skin and stick out in all directions. Once he was fully shifted he used a bone That has grown from his hand and broke through the chain.

As he did this stiles watched carefully and notice one of the bones was cut off at the end. Every bone was fully grown but this once looked like it came off by accident. Then he realized what was killing his father. Someone else's bone.

...

After realizing what was causing his fathers Unexpected turn, he called Melissa as soon as they got above ground. An hour had passed and his father was laying asleep as stiles and Alex watched him Carefully

"Are you okay?" Stiles asked Alex. He had spent all day worrying about his dad, he never asked Alex how she was doing. Theo was her friend, even if stiles hated him. She trusted him, she liked having a part of her old life

Alex looked at him confused wondering why he was asking her that and not the other way round "yeah, why?" She asked

"Alex something happened today with you. Something that never happened before" he reminded her

She nodded "stiles I'm okay. Right now all that matters is your dad"  she smiled

Stiles nodded and let out a small yawn. He rested his head on the edge of Noah's bed and felt his eyes begin to close. The same memory that had been playing all day continued to play in his mind. The day of his mother's funeral, he was a young boy sat at his mother's freshly filled grave wondering what life would Be like now that she wouldn't be there everyday. He always remembered his had walking up to him that day, placing his hand in his shoulder and...

Noah's eyes opened slowly and the light burned a little before his eyes adjusted to the light. As he awoke from his anesthetic sleep he looked at his son and remembered what he told him the day his wife was buried. Noah put his hands on stiles "It's okay stiles, You still got me" he muttered groggily

Stiles let out the breath he had been holding all night and few tears fell from his eyes as he felt relief wash over him. Alex smiled a little and felt relieved that Noah was okay.  Her phone buzzed in her pocket and she took it out

Scotty ~
We are here. Your dads here.

Alex felt a twinge of excitement that her dad was home, it was more relief; relief she had him back for a short while

"It's Scott. My dads here" she told Scott

"Go see him" Stiles told his girlfriend knowing she hadn't seen him since he went with Araya that day in Mexico.

Alex stood up and walked out of the room. As the door closed behind her she let her back rest again the wall. She let out a small sigh and a few surprising tears fell with it. She didn't know why she was crying, she just assumed the day was catching up with her. She stood up straight and wiped the tears from her face. She began to walk down the hallway, She seen her dad sitting on a chair with , Worried expression on his face.

As soon as Chris caught a glimpse of his daughter  he stood up. Before Alex could say anything she felt his arms wrap around her tightly

"I'm sorry I didn't get here sooner" he apologized

Alex didn't say anything in return. She just let her body melt into his hug, not realizing how Much she missed him until he was back. Right now she was with the one person she could talk to "he made me chose dad" she spoke quietly

Chris pulled Alex out of his hug. He looked at her dead in the eyes with confusion written all over his face "What?" He asked

Alex sighed "Theo.. he told me he could-.. he could bring her back" she told her father.

Chris was shocked by this news. Scott has filled him in briefly on what happened whilst he was gone but failed to mention this part

Alex blinked a few tears down her face "it was Noah or ally... I didn't pick her" her heart broke at the end of the sentence as she admitted that she didn't pick her sister

Chris shook his head and looked at his daughter softly. His insides filling with rage as Theo had convinced her that there was a way Alison could have been brought back "no sweetheart.. he couldn't have brought her back.. you made the right choice" he reassured her

"But what If he could.. what If right now she could be here" Alex struggled to Believe there was no way to bring Allison ask "I just.. what If I-.."

"You done everything right" Chris cut in"You saved stiles dad" he reminded her

"Yeah.. you're right" she nodded "I need to use the bathroom"

Alex walked past him and into the nearest bathroom which thankfully wasn't far. She walked in and straight into a stall. She closed the door quickly and let her tears fall. The idea of Allison being with her again made her heart ache with happiness but all that is ruined with the knowing that it's not possible

Hearing Theo's words I can bring her back replayed in her head all day slowly ripping her in half and deep down leaving her to wonder if she made the right choice.. or what would have happened if she chose what could have been a lie or the truth.
