Because, I Love You (Liam Dunbar)

Season Six: Heartless

Well Malia was destroying Theo. And I was okay with that, I wanted to jump in but my brother held my arms back.

"It's okay, you don't have to stop," Theo pants through a mouth full of blood.

"Trust me, I won't," the were-coyote seethes unclenching her hand to fling out her claws causing my brother to step forward and catch her hand before she could further damage.

"Malia, enough!" Scott shouts picking her up by the shoulders forcing her to stop. "Hey. Slow down, okay? He's going back in the ground."

"You can't," Liam interjects. "He remembers Stiles."

"Scott remembers Stiles," Malia snarls at him. "Lydia, Amanda, and I remember Stiles."

"The Dread Doctors knew all about the Wild Hunt," Liam explains. "He can help us."

"Or he could kill us," Scott interjects.

"He's our responsibility," I speak up. Liam and I make eye contact and I just know by his chemo signals that he was extremely nervous. "Noshiko gave him the sword."

"It's so awkward when Mom and Dad fight," Theo exhales from the floor.

"Shut up!" The three of us yell in unison.

"You both are right," Hayden spoke up. "If Theo tries anything, we'll send him back to the Skin walkers. But for right now..."

"He goes back now," Scott says refusing our proposal. 

"Except Liam's the one with the sword," evil spawn mentions.

"Shut up!" Everyone shouts.

"Malia..." Hayden speaks up noticing the anger radiating off of her.

"Can you give me a second alone with Theo?" The were coyote asks.

"Why?"

"So I can kill him."

I purse my lips scratching the back of my head.

"Okay, look, I know that there's mixed feelings all around," Theo says. "But I might be your only option to stop the Wild Hunt."

But Malia still held her ground. "Let's kill him."

Liam and I pull Scott into the living room so we can talk.

"What, you don't trust me?" I ask crossing my arms over my chest.

"I don't trust him," my brother reassures me. "Do you?"

"Definitely not," I scoff. "But I think we can use him."

"Remember who he is," Scott says. "He got into his head and tried turning your humanity off. And when that didn't work, he tried to kill me. And Tracy, and Josh, and his sister."

"But this might be our only chance to get Stiles back," I sigh in frustration adjusting my stance switching over my weight to my other leg.

"Can't we just try to find somebody that we at least trust?" My brother begs me. 

"This might be a mistake," Liam spoke. "But you don't know that yet. And you made mistakes when you were learning to be an Alpha."

"Yeah, I made a lot. But we don't have time for mistakes," Scott fought. "I can't lose Stiles."

"I can't lose him either," I agree. "So we should try anything we can to save him. Right? Even Theo."

"Convince me."

-

"I can put you back in the ground anytime," Liam threatens Theo holding the sword up.

"You also need a transformer that can handle five billion joules of electricity," Theo throws back at us. "I know where to find one and I can show you how it works. I'll tell you if Malia promises not to kill me."
