Ch. 19 - LETHARIA VULPINA

"What the hell have you been up to?" Ethan asked pulling out an electric saw. "I think it's something worse... A lot worse."

They set the bag on a table and started pulling out various chains, ropes, tools, duck tape, wire. "What the hell were you doing? Building a Terminator?" Aiden asked looking at everything, "Thank you for that." Stiles said sarcastically. "Guys this is a map." Scott said, unfolding some paper.

"Isn't that the cross-country trail?" Ethan asked, tracing his finger along a red line, "That's the Tate car- where Malia Tate's family died." Scott said glancing up at everyone making Odette close her eyes and sigh, "You mean, that's where her father put the steel-jawed traps." She said slowly glancing at everyone.

Stiles's jeep scratched to a halt as they pulled up to the start of the cross-country trail. "Coach!" Stiles said as he, Odette and Aiden hopped out. "Stilinski!" Coach said, looking at Stiles in shock as they ran up to him, "Coach, listen close-" Stiles said before starting to explain.

"Scott! Stop, stop, stop! Everyone, stop!" Stiles yelled as he, Odette, Aiden and Coach ran up to where Scott and Kira stood, the rest of the team not far behind them. Stiles looked down before digging around in the leaves, pulling up the end of a chain. He pulled it up until all he got was just the other end and Coach started clapping.

"Congratulations, Stilinski. You found a length of chain. Can somebody now please tell me what the hell's going on?" Coach asked as he walked a couple steps forward. Odette glanced around confused until she noticed a trip wire, "Coach!" She yelled right as he tripped it.

Suddenly an arrow lodged it's way into Coach's stomach making everyone gasp as he looked down. "Oh crap." He said before falling back making everyone instantly ran over to him.

"Get it out of me! Get it out of me!" Coach yelled as Odette instantly got down at wrapped her hands around the base if the arrow putting pressure on Coach's wound. "Coach-" Stiles started to say, "Get it out of me!" Coach yelled as Scott and Aiden tried to hold him down.

"Coach, we can't take it out until you get to the hospital." Odette tried to tell him but he kept freaking out, "Oh, my God, I'm gonna die! Get it out of me! I'm gonna die!" Coach said and Odette sighed, glancing over at Stiles with an exasperated look. "Coach, you're not gonna die-"

"I'm gonna die!"

"It will hurt less if you stop moving, Coach-"

"Get that thing out of me! AHHHHHH!"

"Stay still, Coach. An ambulance is coming."

"Get it out! I'm gonna die!" Coach yelled and Odette sighed as she focused on keeping her magic from trying to heal him, she would like to heal him but that would cause to many questions. "Coach, you'll be fine." She said before looking at Scott who nodded slightly making her nod back then look at Aiden, "People need to move away a bit." She said and he sat up, "Get back! Get back! Give him some room! Get back!"

Scott glanced at everyone before grabbing Coach's hand, groaning as he took away Coach's pain. As he did so, Coach's head fell to the side making the guys look at him wide eyes, "It's okay. He passed out." Odette said making Scott and Aiden sigh in relief.

Odette glanced over at Stiles to see him staring down at her hands that were covered in Coach's blood. "Hey." She said making him look at her, "He's okay." She said and he shook his head slightly, "I could have killed him. I could have killed him, right? What if it was his head? Or his throat?" He said anxiously.
