Breathless- Theo Raeken fanfic-

Chapter 18, Ouroboros

Kira was arrested during the night for murder. A teenager was found murdered in Scott's home and she had Kira's sword through her chest.

We all stood around Scott's table in the kitchen as we waited for him to come back. Theo, Stiles, and Malia are here waiting for him as well. Corey, Lydia, and Mason are upstairs and Mason is hoping that Corey will have his memories back from reading the Dread Doctors book. It seemed like everyone got their memories back, but I didn't get mine unless I've never crossed paths with them.

I kept glancing at Theo from time to time and caught him glancing at me too. He smiled. I smiled and shook my head then my head turned towards the door as it slammed open and Scott barged in.

"Hey, is Kira okay?" Stiles asked as Scott walked past us.

He didn't answer as we looked at him go upstairs. "Scott?" Theo said

Then all of sudden we hear Lydia yell "No, Scott, don't." We all glanced at each other as we quickly made our way upstairs to Scott's room. As we walked in, Corey was sitting on the bed with his eyes closed and Scott stood next to him with his claws in the back of Corey's neck.

"Don't get too close." Lydia warned us.

"What is he doing?" Theo asked as he glanced over at Lydia.

"Tapping into Corey's memories." She replied. Damn, didn't know werewolves could do that. "It's usually something only Alphas do." Mhm.

Theo walked towards them as he watched cautiously. He looked at Scott, "Is it as dangerous as it looks?"

"Probably more," Stiles said.

"Does anyone know if it's working?" Mason asked.

Scott's eyes shot open as he took a step back. They both gasped. Scott fell backward but Stiles and Theo got him before he could fall, and Corey stood up.

"What the hell did you do to me?" Corey asked in shock. Most likely scared.

"You'll be alright. Scott assured as he breathed heavily.

"There's blood." Corey panicked.

"You'll heal." Scott said.

"Scott..." Stiles began but Scott cut him off and yelled "he'll be fine!"

Theo glanced over at me as I just stared at Scott with a worried look.

"Listen," Scott continued, "I think it worked. I saw something." He grabbed a notepad and started to draw furiously. "They were tunnels. Pipes along the walls. They were these huge blue pipes at the entrance. To on both sides."

"Wait a second." Stiles said as he glanced down at the notepad and Lydia walked over to see it as well. "I know this. I've seen this before."

"Theo, wait!" I ran after him as he left into the woods.

"I don't get it. You're leaving tomorrow?"

He turned around, "I have no choice, Ashley."

My head snapped towards my left as I heard a crackling sound. I watched as three figures walked towards me. I glanced at Theo and he stood in front of me. He growled lowly and my heart dropped. He's a werewolf, too?

The three figures walked towards us, but it seems as they were glitching.

"Theo," I whispered, "what are they?"

"Distraction." The middle one with the cane said in a robotic voice.

Theo shook his head, "No, she's not."
