09. A code.

Alex finished ranting, she pulled her hands apart and broke the rope,  "I'm also a chimera, so that knot was never going to hold me. And if you really want, you can stab me but it won't do shit"

Somehow Alex had grown frustrated, she was so angry but not at Allison - or at least she hoped not. After all it wasn't her fault, Allison barely knew who she was.

Alex was mad at him, at the nogitsune for her again taking it's form through someone she loves and what worried her most, was the indefinite certainty that Allison would live beyond his control, or would she once again die at the end of his sword.

"You're not gonna kill me." Scott panted, stopping for a second

"That's right. The wolfsbane is going to kill you"

"You had a code." He said, facing her.

"Mm-hmm." She hummed, "We hunt those who hunt us."

"No, you came up with a new one" Scott shook his head, "We protect-...

"We protect those who.." Allison started to recite.

Alex's eyes flashed, a glimmer of hope coated them.

"You remember."

Allison blinked at the alpha, kicking him down.

"Seriously" Alex deadpanned, "was that absolutely necessary"

"Just help me pick him up"

"I cant."

"Why?"

"The second I lay my hands on him, I'll heal him." Alex said, holding up her hands and wriggling her fingers.

"What?" Allison questioned, her brows furrowed.

Alex pulled out an arrow from her sack, Allison brought an arrow to her bow.

"Relax Katniss, I'm just going to show you"

"What are you doing?"

"You gotta trust me for two seconds, just show me your hand. If I do anything you can shoot me with your arrow" Alex told her,

Allison wasn't sure why, but she could feel the trust. So she gave Alex her hand.

Alex sliced the arrow across her palm, she cuffed her hand around Allison's.

Healing by touch can be dangerous, especially in cases like this. You took some of what was inside him and now is inside you

Alex knew what she was doing, she was going to at least try and heal the nogitsune out of Allison.

Alex closed her eyes, an image of her mother flashing before them. It took her by surprise, Alex had barely remembered what she looked like. The only thing she had were pictures.

"Enough" Allison pulled her hand back, the bloody wound now gone. "Are you a werewolf"

"No, I'm a -..

"Healer" Allison Finished, absentmindedly.

"If I touch him I'll start healing, so this one's all on you"

Allison rolled her eyes, she picked up Scott; grunting as he weighed more than he looked.

"Why did you call yourself a chimera, what is that?" Allison asked.

"It's mixture of supernatural, it's like a lion with the talon's of an eagle and the tail of a snake" Alex explained.

"So what are you?"

"I heal anything, from a small scrape to a messed up half melted body. And if I really concentrate, my Body can produce this energy that protects everyone around me" Alex explained.

"How did it happen"

"Dread doctors, they take you pump you full of supernatural juices and if you are worth it, you don't die. When I was 15, we lived in San Francisco, it was the last place we lived before here. I went missing for a weekend, they took me and a year later I was healing things. You didn't know, no one knew accept Scott and -..

"Stiles" Allison said,

"I was terrified, our family hunts the supernatural I assumed the second they found out I'd be hunted to, but I wasn't. Not by mom and dad"

"You were shot" Allison mumbled.

"Kate found out, she shot me. After that Gerard came into our lives, pretty much manipulated you into believing in the code. Mom died Because she got scratched when Derek was saving Scott, she killer herself because of that code. I didn't chose Derek, I just didn't chose her"

Allison didn't say anything else, she stewed with her thoughts or at least what she hoped were her own thoughts.

When Noah stilinski awoke, he found himself tied to a wooden post. Just moments ago he was taken by a dark mist; assuming he had died.

"What the hell" he grunted, hoping this wasn't his afterlife.

"It's an illusion" mason spoke up, he was unfortunately the first to wake up.

"It feels pretty real" Isaac grunted.

"Where the hell are we"

"Stilinski" derek called,

Noah looked over his shoulder, he couldn't see much beyond that. His eyes met with 4 year old who was tied to a post next to Derek.

"Sage!" He pulled on restrains,

The young girl cried out.

"It's okay sweet pea, you're gonna be okay"

"How long as she been here?" Noah asked, stilling trying to break free.

"She was here when I showed up" mason replied, he was the first to get thrown into the underworld.

"She was suppose to be safe" he grunted.

Sage cried, "I want momma"

"It's okay, you have to brave okay. They are coming!" Noah called out.

"Hey, sage. Can you look at me" Derek asked, his voice soft.

Sages small eyes looked at Derek, she was trembling with fear.

"You're gonna be okay, we are all here. We won't let anything happen, your momma will be here soon"

Once Alex would find out. It would take a lot more than the nogitsune to stop her.
