Malia came at him.
She punched him to the ground and kept punching him in his face.
I could already smell the blood.
Theo groaned "It's okay. you'll stop "
Malia took her claws out "Believe me, i won't"
Scott grabbed her wrist "Malia, enough! Hey"
Liam and Scott pushed her off him.
Scott "Slow down, okay? He's going back in the ground"
Liam shook his head "he can't"
I shook my head "And he won't"
Scott looked at me confused.
Me "He knows Stiles"
Scott looked at Theo who was still on the ground.
Malia "Scott and Corina remember Stiles. Lydia and i remember Stiles"
Liam "the Dread Doctors knew all about the Wild Hunt. He can help us"
Scott "or he could kill us"
Me "He is my responsibility. Noshiko gave me the sword. "
Theo "It's so awkward when mom and dad fight"
Scott and i looked at him "Shut up!"
I looked at Scott "Scotty, if he plays us, i'll send him back myself. But for right now-"
Scott "He goes back now"
Theo "Except my girl's the one with the sword."
We all yelled at him "shut up!"
Scott grabbed my hand and walked with me into the living room.
I asked confused "Don't you trust me?"
Scott drove a hand up and down his face "i do but not him. Do you trust him?"
I shook my head "No, but we can use him"
Scott was holding back "Remember who he is. He used you to get into the pack. And then he killed me. And Tracy, and Josh, and his sister"
Me "But this might be our only chance to get Stiles back"
Scott "Can't we just try to find somebody that we at lease trust?"
Me "We are desperate, Scott. "
Scott shook his head "but not this desperate"
I nodded "oh yeah, we've already passed "very desperate", Scotty. Maybe this was a mistake. But i made that mistake. you have made mistakes too"
Scott nodded "Yeah, i made a lot. But we don't have time for mistakes right now"
I looked around.
Scott sighed"i can't lose Stiles"
I sighed "Neither can i. There's no other choice, Scott. We had to bring Theo back up. "
He didn't say anything.
Me "give him a chance"
Scott shook his head "i'm giving you a chance, Corina, don't let me down"
I nodded "thank you"
Scott took a deep breath "convince me and maybe i'l consider giving him a chance"
I walked back into the kitchen.
Theo stood there. Looks like he washed the blood off his face.
Me "I can put you back in the ground anytime"
He turned to me "I'm not doubting that. But You also need a transformer that can handle five billion joules of electricity"
I raised an eyebrow "You know where to find one?"
Theo nodded "yes and i can show you how it works. I'll tell you if Malia promises not to kill me"
I could hear her growl.
I nodded "She promises"
Malia "no, i don't"
I turned around to the four "Does any of you have a better idea? because i'm all ear. "
No answer.
Me "No? That's what i thought"
I turned back to Theo "i promise you i won't let her kill you"
Malia walking past me out "i've got no better idea. But at least it's not him"
Theo looked at me "You?"
I shook my head "I'm not like you, Theo. I don't lie to people"
Theo "after what i did to you-"
Me "you're lucky your head is still attached to your neck"
