BLIND 🌑CORA HALE🌑

Loyal

In our free period, Stiles and I sat in the music room alone at a piano. "How you doing?" I asked as I intertwined our fingers. "Strange. Like I've been given something and I don't know what to do with it." He answered as I rested my head on his shoulder. "Most supernaturals do." I told him as I traced small circles on the top of his left hand.

"What are you going to do about Scott?" I asked. He let out a sigh. "I...don't know." He answered. "And the thing is...as of right now...I'm gonna do my own thing and let him and the others feel on edge. Make them uneasy. Intimidated. I don't want to act upon anything just yet. But I want to deal with them one by one. Pick them off. Until the pack is broken. I want them to go through the same feeling I did when they left me for dead. Mocked me." He explained tensing up as anger built up inside him.

I pressed my hand to his chest gently. "Don't become Scott. Be better. Be yourself. Not that monster. Scott is on his way to becoming an Alpha like Peter. Cruel and monstrous." I whispered. "You don't want them to suffer for what they did?" He asked. "Of course I do! But if making them suffer costs you your humanity and compassion....you'll become worse than Scott." I countered looking up into his dark sunglasses. He lowered his head. "You're right." He said after a few seconds of unbearable silence. "I have to approach this a different way." He voiced.

"But let me ask you something...if there was no other option...would you still have my back?" He asked. I furrowed my brows. "How can you ask that? I will always have your back, Stiles. No matter what. If you end up going down a dark path...I'll traverse the dark right beside you. I might not like it." I told him.

"But I don't care. I am done letting the ones that I care about get hurt or die at the hands of an Alpha. Boyd...Laura...Erica....you. You may not think that you need protecting but when you've lost the amount of family that I have...you will stop at nothing to ensure you keep new ones safe." I continued.

"And you, Stiles, are my family. Never forget that. And family sticks together. Because I care about you Stiles. I'd rather die than see you in pain. See you suffer this tragedy alone by yourself. It hurts. So next time you think about asking me that question...remember that..." I stated working up the courage to tell him as my heart pounded within my chest.

"Remember who stood up for you when no one else did. Remember who stayed awake at night and watched you sleep. Remember who comforted you when you were in pain." I said as tears began to fill up in my eyes. "Remember who found you on the ground that day. The person who is willing to put their life on the line to protect you at any cost. Remember that even though your friends betrayed you and hurt you. There's been one person who has been beside you, who has loved you. Because I do love you, Stiles." I said finally. "And I will never stop loving you. Because if it wasn't for you....I wouldn't be here today." I said as tears streamed down my face. "So...yes...Stiles...I will always have your back." I sounded.

Stiles removed his sunglasses and revealed the tears he had been holding back. He slowly reached up towards my face and felt the tears on my cheeks before he wiped them away with his thumb with a warm smile. "You found me?" He asked. "Yes." I said breathlessly. "God, I love you." He sounded before his lips crashed into mine. He pulled me closer before I sat on his lap. I pulled away for a quick gasp of air before noticed his eyes had become his normal Hazel brown for a split second before returning back to white and devoid of all color. Stiles had frozen for a moment and his rapid panting breaths had stopped abruptly. "I...saw you." He said quietly.
