-Animal Clinic-

It started pouring. Scott and I stood side by side as Stiles jumped out of his jeep. "Hey, sorry... I had trouble starting the Jeep again— that thing's barely hanging on. I couldn't get in touch with Malia or Lydia... Hey Leia!"

I waved, but then Scott pulled out the bloody wrench that Theo gave him. "Scott? Where did you get that?" Stiles asked, pointing at it.

"This is yours? Why didn't you tell me?" Scott questioned.

"I was going to..."

"No, but why didn't you tell me when it happened?"

"I couldn't."

"You killed him? You killed Donovan?" Scott asked.

"Well, he was going to kill my dad. Huh? Was I supposed to just let him?" Stiles asked, defensively.

"You weren't supposed to do this. None of us are."

"You think I had a choice?"

"There's always a choice."

"Yeah, well, I can't do what you can, Scott. I know you wouldn't have done it. You probably would have just figured something out, right?" Stiles snapped back.

"I'd try."

"Yeah, because you're Scott McCall! You're the True Alpha! Guess what? All of us can't be True Alphas! Some of us have to make mistakes. Some of us have to get our hands a little bloody sometimes. Some of us are human!"

"So you had to kill him?"

"Scott, he was going to kill my dad!" Stiles started crying.

"But the way that it happened... There's a point when it's... It's not self-defense anymore!"

"What are you even talking about? I didn't have a choice, Scott!"

"You don't even believe me, do you?"

"I want to."

"Okay. All right, so... So, believe me, then. Scott, say you believe me. Say it. Say you believe me." Stiles stepped towards him but Scott stepped back. It was as if he was afraid.

"Stiles, we can't kill people that we're trying to save."

"Say you believe me!"

"We can't kill people. Do you believe that?"

"Well, what do I do about this? What do you want me to do? Okay, just be... Scott, just tell me how to fix this, all right? Please, just tell me— what do you want me to do?" Stiles begged for a way to fix it.

"Don't worry about Malia or Lydia. We'll find them. Maybe... Maybe you should talk to your dad." Scott said before walking into the building. I stood there in front of Stiles.

"Do you believe me, Leia?" Stiles asked.

I walked over to him, wrapping my arms around him. "Of course."

"Will you talk to him for me?"

"I can try." I smiled as I pecked him on the cheek. "Go get some rest. I'll fill you in on everything later."

"Thank you." Stiles got in his jeep and took off as I headed into the building.

Theo is standing next to Liam who has Hayden in his arms. "She's getting worse. I think she's dying. It's got to be some kind of mercury poisoning." Theo said.

"Scott, remember what you promised me— you said you'd do everything you could to save her. If she's a real Werewolf, we can save her. You gotta give her the bite." Liam begged.

Scott stood there, soaked with tears forming in his eyes. Scott looked down at her. "No."
