Running with Wolves

Chapter 71

Season 5b

I was handed over to someone, I sniffed the air, then nuzzled my face against Stiles' neck. Stiles' arms wrapped around me, tightly, I whined and gripped his hoodie.

Stiles and Melissa were talking to the doctors, I rubbed my eyes,
Stiles said" Two hours ago, he was fine. Now it looks like someone took a baseball bat to his neck."
Dr. Geyer said" There could've been some minor internal."
" Did you say, minor internal? Since when is anything internal minor?"
Melissa said" Stiles."
" I need to know what's going on with him, okay? Dr. Geyer, somebody needs to tell me what's happening. Somebody needs to tell me what's happening to him!"
" We don't know." Stiles let go of my hand, walking to the doors, then he tackled Scotty. I whimpered, Melissa, Dr. Geyer and a deputy ran out there and got Stiles. I pushed opened the door and walked slowly,
Scotty said" Your dad's not the only one who got hurt."
Stiles said" Oh, you'll heal."
" I'm not talking about me." I smelled Lydia's scent, Lydia must be hurt, and I guess it's Theo's fault.

Stiles, Melissa, Parrish and Scotty were all talking, I was in Stiles' arms, nearly falling asleep.
Parrish said" It could be a side effect of shock."
Stiles said" She's catatonic. It was Theo digging his way through her mind."
Melissa said" Why would he do that? What is he looking for?"
Scotty said" The same thing he's always looking for. An advantage."
Parrish said" So what did he gain by trying to kill Stilinski?"
" It left me alone with Liam. Theo wanted to make sure that no one would be there to stop him from killing me."
Stiles said" Okay, so he gutted my dad as a distraction."
Parrish said" We need to find this kid."
Melissa said" Isn't that a little dangerous? Especially since he almost killed my kid and Riley?"
Stiles said" Yeah, but he said he didn't want my dad to die."
Parrish said" And you believe him?"
" He told me where to find him. So, maybe he also knows how to save him."
Melissa said" What do you want to do? Talk to him?"
" If it saves my dad, then yeah."
Scotty said" I'll come with you. He doesn't know that I'm alive. Maybe that gives us an advantage."
" He'll know you're there. I just need to talk to him. Not fight him."
Melissa said" Stiles, you can't go alone."
Parrish said" Does anyone even know how to find him?"
Stiles said" We don't have to find him. He'll come to me."
——
I woke to Stiles saying my name, I walked downstairs and to him, he lifted me up and we walked to the car. He got in, I climbed into the backseat, buckling up, he locked the door before Scotty could get in.
Scotty said" Stiles?"
Stiles said" Yeah, I can do the rest myself."
" You don't even know where to start. All we know that it's another Chimera. Do you even know where you're headed? Come on. Let me help. I can find the clues that you can't." Stiles went to drive but Scott got in front of the car." You can't do this alone, okay. You need me. You need all of us. I can get more help. I can text Liam."
" Liam just tried to kill you."
" Okay, then at least let me help."
" You believed him?"
" You trusted him, too. Theo got to all of us."
" You know, you don't even know the real story."
" I don't need to. All that matters right now is your dad. Come on, Stiles. We survived an alpha pack, a dark Druid, professional assassins. We can survive dread doctors and chimeras, too."
" We're not looking for a missing chimera. We're looking for a missing teenager."

We got home, Stiles carried me into my room,
He said" You go to sleep, we're gonna figure this out, while you stay here. Big kid stuff." He laid me down and tucked me in, I yawned, falling asleep instantly.
——
I woke up to walkie, I yawned and rubbed my eyes,
Stiles said" Bub? Hey, wake up, get to the hospital. I'll meet you there." It went off again, I got up, and jumped out my window.

I got to the hospital, Stiles walked to me and lifted me up, I laid my head on his shoulder.
I said" What happen?"
Stiles said" We figured it out, dad just got out of surgery, he'll wake up soon and it'll be okay."

We walked into daddy's room, Stiles sat down and laid his head on the bed. Daddy was gonna be okay, they figured it out. I held onto Stiles' shoulders and nuzzled my face against the back of hid neck.
I woke up,
Daddy said" It's okay, Stiles, Riley. You still got me." Stiles looked at him, I rubbed my eyes and nuzzled my face against Stiles' neck again, falling back to sleep.
