Concealment ∞ Liam Dunbar [2]

"He's going to have to come get it himself." Scott concluded, as I exchanged a glance with Stiles.

This is one hell of a plan. Like, Mission Impossible ranking in plans.

After we discussed the plan downstairs, Kira called her mom over so we could begin.

I was anxiously tapping my foot with my arms folded as I leaned against the wall in Scott's room. "Are you guys totally sure about this? I mean, I should be the one doing this-" I blurted,

"I um, I think Liz is feeling nervous. Maybe you should tell her it's going to be fine." Kira offered, clearly worried about Scott.

"Liz, it's gonna be fine." Scott reassured Kira from his spot on the bed.

I groaned, allowing my forehead to fall into my hand. "We've never done anything like this before, how do we even know it's safe? Have you ever done anything like this before?" I nodded to Kira's mom with wide eyes.

"I've seen it done." she shrugged.

"So, you haven't actually done it?" I whined. "This is by far our worst idea ever.."

Liam made his way over to me, grabbing my hand, shooting me a reassuring smile.

"It's not our worst idea." Scott argued,

"It probably is." Ms. Yukimura stated.

I threw my hands in the air, releasing myself from Liam's grip.

"Mom, you're not inspiring confidence." Kira hissed.

"Good. This is a terrible idea." her mother added, looking down at Scott.

"Do you want us to do it without you?" Kira threatened, causing the room to fall silent as we all exchanged glances.

"Put your hand over his heart." Ms. Yukimura affirmed, as Kira slowly extended her arm over Scott's heart, until he suddenly grabbed her wrist.

"Hold on." Scott paused, leaning over his elbows. "What happens...while I'm out. Am I gonna feel anything?"

"It might feel like you're dreaming." Ms. Yukimura replied.

"Good dreams or bad." Scott breathed,

"I suppose that depends on you." she avowed.

"They probably won't be good. We don't have much good in our lives-" I started, before Liam shot me a look.

Scott sighed and laid down on his back again as Ms. Yukimura nodded to Kira.

Kira took in a deep breath before extending her arm over Scott again.

I watched cautiously as electricity ran throughout his body, causing him lose his breath. He took in one large gasp before his body stilled.

"I can't do this." I walked out of the room, covering my mouth as my eyes watered.

"Liz-" Liam races into the hallway after me, grabbing my wrist, spinning me around to face him.

He took my hands in his, releasing his grip on my wrist. "Liz, he's gonna be fine."

I shook my head as a tear fell down my cheek. "No- you don't know that." I spat,

"No, but-" Liam sighed,

"Stop!" I erupted. "He looks dead- no he is dead. I basically just watched my best friend die. I've done that once before, and I can't do it again."
