"I'll go," I say and Scott looks at Stiles. "I'm not affected and I'm human," I say and Scott nods. "We need to tell her the truth about. Peter," Scott whispers changing the subject and I nod. "She's gonna see the rest of the dead pool eventually," he continues and I look at Stiles.

"Try to remember that Peter is the one name missing in that list," Stiles says and I frown, wait really? "Which makes him incredibly lucky or he's the benefactor," Stiles says and I look at Malia. "You think?" I ask and he nods.

"She finds out about him, she's going to go to him, you know how she is," Stiles argues and I take a deep breathe. "And then he's gonna twist his way into her head like he does with everyone," Stiles really doesn't like Peter.

"Including us." Stiles says and I close my eyes, he's right though. "We let him walk around like nothing ever happened, like he's one of the good guys, he's not one of the good guys," Scott looks at Malia and I nod.

"And you're worried if she finds out about him, she's gone," I say and Stiles looks at me, the look giving it away. "That's probably what he's waiting for and then he wins, we lose," Stiles says and I sigh. "We're already losing," Scott says and I look down.

Stiles walks to Malia and kneels. "Malia, Malia hey," he says and Malia sits up, not looking good. "I need to leave for a few okay?" He asks and she frowns. "Why?" She asks groggily and Stiles sighs.

"Whatever's happening, its worse for you guys," he says and I look at Scott and Kira. He puts his jacket over her and Malia is sniffling. "You're coming back, right?" She asks and he nods, smiling. "Yeah, yeah I'd never leave you behind," he says and Malia smiles.

"Stiles," I say and he kisses her forehead, walking away with me. We look behind one more time and then walk out.

We walk quickly to Natalie and Stiles doesn't look so good. "Stiles. You're not looking so good, maybe you should lay down," Ms. Martin says and Stiles shakes his head. "It's okay, have you seen Mr. Yukimura?" Stiles asks and Ms. Martin looks worried.

"Yeah, he's fine. He's helping the other students," she says and I nod. Stiles walks away and I look at coach. "Is coach the only adult who got sick today?" I ask and Natalie looks at him, then at me. "As far as I know," she says and I frown.

"Why is he the only one?" Stiles whispers and Ms. Martin puts a hand on his shoulder "Stiles, I think you should lie down," she says and Stiles shakes his head. "yeah, no, it's okay, I'll be back, I'll be right back," he says and we run away.

Stiles runs to coach' office and I just run after him. "Stiles? Stiles!" I yell and he sits down after checking coach' stuff. He's panting and I frown. He grabs the permission slips and he seems to realise something, but I still don't get it. He grabs the mug and looks up slowly.

"Stiles?" I ask carefully and I turn around slowly when I hear movement behind me, seeing the teacher from the psat. Stiles drops the mug and the man smiles. "I was wondering how that idiot got sick, I'm also wondering where your friends are," he says holding a gun. Stiles stands up and I look at him.

"The fingerprints," Stiles says and I look at the mug, that is now broken. "Since in order to get paid by the Benefactor, I need to have proof they're dead," he says and I clench my fist. "Visual confirmation," he points the gun at me and I look at him.

"Fuck you," I say and grab one of my knives from my waistband, but he shoots me in the leg before I can do anything. I groan, falling on the ground.
