Stiles now worrying for his dad was worrying for Alex. Melissa was checking on her now, making sure she was okay; despite Alex's protesting about it
Alex sat on the hospital bed as Melissa shone a light in her eyes. "I'm fine" she sighed
"I'm just making sure"
Melissa put the flashlight down and looked at Alex "What even happened?" She asked
"I don't even know" Alex shook her head " my eyes glow now. I did something weird today"
"You seem okay" Melissa gave her the all clear
"Where's stiles?" Alex asked
"Oh he's outside" Melissa pointed to the door.
Alex nodded and stood up. she felt fine after 5
Minutes, which just made her worried about what had happened Before, worried if her healing abilities were at risk.
She pushed it aside just as she did with her emotions on the Theo topic and put on a brave face for her boyfriend who needed her now.
She walked out of the room and stiles sighed with relief "are you Okay?" he asked
"I'm okay" Alex gave a nod
Stiles eyes shifted to the door, Scott was in the hallway. Stiles seething with anger as he seen who was suppose to be his best friend, he partly blamed Scott for Theo because Scott was so adamant on believing he was a good guy.
Without thinking about it stiles ran through the double doors and toward Scott. Alex watched as stiles ran towards the true alpha and quickly followed. As she reached her boyfriend he grabbed Scott and slammed him against the wall. He pulled him off the wall and threw him the ground, he towered over Scott and for the first time in a long time Scott felt fear toward his best friend.
"Where the hell were you?" Stiles yelled. "You trusted him. You believed him. Right, huh? So, where were you?"
Dr geyer along with a security guard ran over and pulled stiles off Scott's body, stiles flaying as they did. Melissa helped her son to his feet and looked at stiles slightly shocked at his outburst
"Okay, all right, all right." Stiles protested and they let go of him.
"Hey look at me" Alex told stiles, stiles turned to her and she looked at him softly. She put her hand against his cheek and help his face as his chest moved up and down as he struggled to catch his breath."It's okay." She nodded
They both looked back at Scott as he caught his breath that stiles had winded out of him.
"Your dad's not the only one who got hurt" Scott told them.
Stiles eyes averted to the blotch of blood that stained his white shirt. He glared at Scott "Oh, you'll heal." He hissed
Scott shook his head "I'm not talking about me"
"Who?" Alex asked
"Lydia" he bared
"Oh god" She whispered."I have to go see her" She told them. "I'm gonna go see her, you stay here"
*
Alex was a nervous wreck, she looked at each door waiting to find the number that Scott had told her. She couldn't bare to lose much more today, especially not Lydia. Lydia was all she had, if she lost her she'd lose herself even more.
She finally came across her room and looked inside the small window, ms Martin sat at her bedside rubbing her hear gently, Alex opened the door and ms Martin shot around, she shook her head at the sight of Alex, she couldn't look at another supernatural person today. She was beginning to despise them, her daughter had been hurt by their world one to many times
"No" she shook her head "No, you don't. You're not coming in here." She ordered
"Get out!" She yelled
"Ms Martin please" Alex pleaded with her "I know who did this, I can help" she suggested
"Help?" She retorted, "from the day you set foot in this town she has fell victim of everything you and the rest do, if you want to help, leave and don't come back because she is better off without you." Natalia spat harsh words toward Alex
Alex felt weakened by her words, Hers eyes filled with tears as she knew she was the blame of too many deaths. She killed Tracy, she took too long to decide and if stiles had have gotten to Noah quicker maybe he wouldn't be so bad, and Lydia, she put Lydia in harms way more then she'd care to admit "please" she whispered "I can help her"
"You have done enough!" She yelled "now leave or ill call security"
Alex stepped back a little "okay" she nodded
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry Lydia is hurt again, I'm sorry you are sat by her bedside again, she's my best... she's like my sister and I put her at harms way again. So I'm sorry, I'm so sorry" Alex apologized
"I'm gonna leave, but please if anything happens call me." With that Alex turned and left the room, ms Martin didn't hesitate in shutting the door behind her.
Alex let her back rest against the wall and felt her tears fall, she didn't want to do this right now. She didn't want to cry, she was suppose to be strong for stiles. She had to be strong for stiles. But she felt so hurt, hurt at Theo, hurt at Lydia and hurt at Noah. She was hurt that they suffered whilst she walked wound free, she hated that Theo did all this, the Theo she knew was caring and sweet not manipulative and cruel. She had been fooled by who she thought he was and for that she wanted vengeance, she wanted him to suffer like everyone in his path did. She would stop at nothing to make sure he did.
Her phone chimed and she seen a message from stiles tell her to meet them in the exam room. She wiped the tears from her eyes and began to walked away from lydias room. She took in a few breaths and collected her thoughts, right now stiles couldn't see her upset, she had to be there for him not the other way round.
She walked into the exam room and seen Scott Parrish and Melissa trying to work out what's been happening and what's about to happen. As always the town is left to rely on a group of broken teenagers.
"How is she?" Scott asked
"I.. eh I don't know. Her mom is mad and upset, her daughters left In a hospital bed again so I don't blame her"'Alex explained
"It could be a side effect of shock." Perish guessed
"She's catatonic." Stiles told him
"Yeah, I mean her eyes are open but she's not there"Alex agreed
"It was Theo digging his way through her mind" Scott told them
Alex felt sick at the idea, how could even try it. Why would he even try to do it
"Why would he do that? What is he looking for?" Melissa asked, as if she could read Alex's mind
Stiles rolled his eyes "The same thing he's always looking for. An advantage." He replied, anger filling his tone
"So what did he gain by trying to kill Stilinski?" Parish asked.
Stiles winced at the thought of it happening. He kept thinking about what his dad was thinking; did he wonder if he'd be found, did he wonder if people even noticed he wasn't there, did he think he was going to die. What were his last thoughts
Scott swallowed "It left me alone with Liam. Theo wanted to make sure no one would be there to stop him from killing me"
Alex was taken by Scott's statement, this was the first she heard of Liam trying to Kill Scott "what happened?" She asked
"Theo trapped me in the school using wolfsbane, it was a super moon and Liam was angry about Hayden's death and me not giving her the bite. He lost all control" Scott explained
Alex breathed out "Hayden's dead?" She asked, she barely knew the girl but she knew Liam was head over heals in love with her.
"Can we get back on topic?" Parish asked, he wasn't trying to be rude but the sooner they found Theo the better
"Yeah, sorry"
"so he gutted my dad as a distraction." Stiles stated, bringing it back
"We need to find this kid" Parish says quickly
Melissa Raised a brow "Isn't that a little dangerous? Especially since he almost killed my kid?"
"Yeah, but he said he didn't want my dad to die."
"And you believe him?" Parish asked
"He told Alex and Me where to find him. So, maybe he also knows how to save him." Stiles hoped
"He told me he could bring Allison back" Alex muttered
Scott looked at Alex, wide eyed wondering if he'd heard her right "What?" He asked
She looked up at the alpha, "He gave me an alternative.. he said he could bring her back, more specifically the dread doctors could." She explained "He told me he could bring her back or I could save stilinski, I mean he was lying.. he couldn't have possibly brought her back" she tried to convince herself more the Scott.
"What do you want to do? Talk to him?" Melissa asked stiles
"If it saves my dad, then yeah " stiles nodded
"I'll go too" Alex offered "he might tell me something"
"I'll come with you. He doesn't know that I'm alive. Maybe that gives us an advantage" Scott offered
"He'll know you're there. I just need to talk to him. Not fight him" stiles shook his head. He took Alex's hand and was ready to leave.
Melissa had other ideas, she didn't know what caused the riff between Scott and stiles but she knew Scott had to go
"Stiles, You and Alex can't go alone" Melissa stopped him "he can listen, he can see if Theo is lying. Neither of you can do that" she pointed out
"Does anyone even know how to find him?" Parish asked
"We don't have to find him. He'll come to us"
...
Stiles and Alex sat on the stairs of the true Alphas house, awaiting the appearance of a certain chimera. Stiles was filled with anxiety and panic, as each second passed it was another closer to the possible death of his father. Alex was full of worry, worry about Lydia, worry about Noah and worry if Theo could have actually brought her sister back.
Theo walked up to the door of Scott's house. He looked down at the mountain ash and smiled smugly before taking a step across it, reminding stiles and Alex that he was a chimera too
"I guess we're all telling the truth now." He spoke the first words, breaking the eerie silence
"You killed my best friend?" Stiles questioned
"Let's be honest, Stiles. Was he still really your best friend?" Theo asked
"Yes" Alex answered, she wasn't sure of anything in the last few weeks but she was sure that Scott McCall was once their best friend "We were just fine till you came" she glared
"Are you going to let my father die?" Stiles asked, the idea almost sickening him
"If I wanted him to die I wouldn't have told you where you can find him."
"If you wanted him to live then why did you make me chose?" Alex asked, she couldn't believe this was the same Theo.
"Oh that, that was just to test your true loyalty" he grinned
Alex balled her hands into a fist and held them tightly as she resisted all of her urges to punch him right here and now.
"why are they saying his body is shutting down?" Stiles asked "That some toxin's poisoning him and they don't know how to stop it"
Theo looked at stiles with a straight face but deep down he was confused. He didn't intend on stiles dad to die, but he wouldn't he particularly bothered if he did "I'm not the bad guy, I'm just a realist. I'm a survivor. If you knew the things that I know..." he explained
Alex looked at him genuinely concerned about what his thought pattern is "You know that's what you usually here come out of a psychotic killers mouth" she told him. She stood from the step, glaring at him
"What about Lydia?" She asked
"Oh she might have some long term affects" he smirked
Suddenly Alex found herself lurching towards Theo, she had pinned against the wall. Her arm over his chest as she stared into his cold exterior, she wanted to hurt him. Every part of her being wanted to hurt him for what he did to stiles, what he did Lydia, what he did to her and how he managed to worm his way in and break apart the one family she had left.
"I swear to god reaken if she dies Tracy's won't be the only blood on my hands and this time it won't be self defense!" Alex spat "If anyone dies and I mean anyone I will find you myself and I will take a gun and shoot you in the mouth!" She yelled
Stiles stood up and looked at Alex worried at what she might do if he were to let her "Alex" he spoke softly enough to get her attention. Alex turned her head and looked at him, she seen his caring brown eyes staring back at her and remembered Theo may had been the only person with an answer as to why Noah was dying. She took her weight off him and stood back beside stiles.
"what do you know?" Stiles asked
His jaw clenched "I know what's coming. I know what the Dread Doctors created And I know what Parrish is, Lydia figured it out. I saw it in her memories."
"Right after you drove her out of her mind." Alex seethed, she hated him. She hated that she hated him
"Collateral damage." He smirked "But if she's right about Parrish, then things around here are gonna get a lot worse."
"I don't care." Stiles shrugged
"You should. Because if your dad does survive he's not gonna be sheriff of anything much longer." Theo warned
"What's happening to him?" Stiles asked, he was desperate, he needed to save his dad. He couldn't bare a life within him
Theo stayed silent, rolling his eyes he turned to leave.
"Hey, tell me!" Stiles yelled. He lunged for Theo and grabbed his shirt, Theo shoved him back and stiles fell onto the stair case, his head landing harshly against the wooden step
Alex followed the chimera out of Scott's house, she grabbed his shoulder and pulled him towards her, her fist was met with his nose in seconds "if his father dies because of you, I swear to god, I'll kill you myself"
Theo didn't say anything, he held his nose and walked away from the seething girl
Alex turned around and walked into Scott's house, she walked in the door and seen stiles sit up from the step he had landed on, Scott was by his side
"Are you okay?" She asked, she moved his head to see if there was any blood or bruises
"I'm okay" he reassured.
He stood up with the help of Alex, looking towards the wolf "Did you get anything from him?" He asked
"Nothing. He was calm the entire time." Scott shook his head
"What about his heart?" Alex asked
"I heard it jump, but only once, and only for a second." Scott told them
"That doesn't mean he was lying." Stiles sighed in defeat, everything seemed to be going against him on the one day he really didn't need it
"Not really. The rest of the time it was steady"
"When did it jump? What was I talking about?" Stiles asked quickly
"It was when your said that your dad was poisoned. That could be something." Scott said
"A jump could mean surprise, right?" Alex
asked, really hoping she was right
"Yeah, yeah, I think so." Scott nodded
"So why would he be surprised that my dad's still dying?" Stiles murmured to himself,
Scott's eyes opened wide as he realized "Oh, wait. He didn't say that he was the one who attacked your dad, did he?" He asked
"No. Well, then this means it was probably someone else." Stiles assumed
"It was" Alex remembered, she hadn't paid much attention to what she seen but now it was useful
Stiles looked at her, his brows furrowed with confusion "What?" Stiles asked
"I completely forgot ,When I took some of his pain I seen how he was attacked, it was a new Chimera" she explained
Stiles didn't say anything. He just ran, Alex quickly followed behind and so did Scott. Stiles ran straight outside and jumped into his jeep assuming Alex was following behind him. Alex opened the passenger seat door and jumped in, slamming it shut
Before Scott got the chance to get in stiles had locked the doors, not wanting any help from his "best friend" who has just recently accused him of murder
"What are doing?" Alex asked, as she heard the lock
"Stiles?" Scott questioned, pulling on the handle
"Yeah,we can do the rest ourselves." Stiles told him, shaking his head
"You don't even know where to start out, All we know is that it's another Chimera. Do you even know where you're headed?" Scott asked, he was desperate to try held stiles. Desperate to try and make amends
Stiles started up the car and drove about and inch before Scott jumped in front of it forcing stiles to stop. Alex sat watching not bothering to say much Knowing it was between them, she too still felt quite a bit of resentment towards the McCall boy
"Come on. Let me help. I can find the clues that you can't" he tried to persuade
"You can't do this alone, okay. You need me. You need all of us. I can get more help. I can text Liam." He urged
"Didn't Liam just tried to kill you?" Stiles asked
"Oh And what exactly Did you do. Sit back and take it or try defend yourself?" Alex commented. She was still mad at him, weeks had passed and he still held that grudge against her and things truly didn't bother her until he took that grudge and threw it at stiles.
"at least let me help." Scott pleaded.
"You believed him" stiles stated.
"You trusted him, too. Theo got to all of us" Scott sighed
Alex's heart stung a little as she trusted him with things she only ever told stiles
"You know, you don't even know the real story." Stiles faced him sadly
Scott shook his head "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." He spoke, hoping to Persuade stiles with their terrifying memories
As the words fell from Scott's mouth, stiles remembered the fear he seen in Hayden's eyes the first time she shifted. She wasn't a chimera then, she was just a teenager
"We're not looking for a missing Chimera. We're looking for a missing teenager." Stiles realized
