Chapter 3, The Last Chimera, part 3

WE WERE ALL STANDING in Stiles' room, looking at his transparent board. Stiles approached us with his phone. "There was a call a few hours ago about a sophomore from Beacon High that never came home last night."

"What's his name?" Scott asked.

"Noah Patrick."

Scott looked at the list of names attached to the board. There are also a bunch of pictures of all the Chimera. Then Scott pointed to a name on the white paper attached to the board. Noah Patrick.

We all rushed out of Stiles' room and went back into the car as Stiles drove off to the school. As we got here, we immediately went inside, and it didn't take Scott too long to find his locker. Once found, he ripped off the lock and opened the guy's locker. He grabbed a shirt and looked at us, "Now we can catch his scent."

He turned his head as Malia appeared. He threw her the shirt and she caught it. I didn't know she would be there.

"You called her?" Stiles asked. When did he call her? Maybe he had texted her.

"We need all the help that we can get." Scott explained as Malia walked towards us. "I should be calling everyone."

"And I know what this kid looks like." Malia added. Well, that will help for sure.

We ended up on an old subway train. It legit looks like it's falling apart, and I didn't even know Beacon Hills used to have a subway train.

We ran down the track and searched for the teenager that Malia and Scott managed to track down here. Yet, no one's here.

I quickly jumped back up the stand and went to look into an office space area.

"Here." Malia yelled. I ran back down where they were at and saw Malia entering a vent into the side of the tracks.

Stiles waited for me and then we all went into the vent then it became much larger and more spacious. We were now literally standing up underneath the subway and a bunch of pipes was all over the ceiling.

"I got it." Malia said. "I got his scent."

She walked forwards and we just all followed her.

Then she spotted blood on a pipe. She traced her finger on it then stared at her finger.

She then turned to look at us. "This is Noah's. He was here. I think he's close."

"Guys..."Scott trailed off. I turned my head and saw him walk down a hall with a bunch of pipes along the walls. "I think we've been down tunnels like this before." Mhm, I don't think I ever did. "Like when we were trying to find Liam and Hayden."

Yeah, I wasn't there when that had happened.

"Okay, so what?" Stiles asked.

"Maybe, it means we're closer than we think." Scott replied. Closer to what? "Maybe there's something else down here. Something we haven't found yet."

"Yeah, nothing that helps my dad." Stiles said. I walked over towards Stiles and placed my hand on his shoulder.

"We'll find something to help him."

"I know." He said. "But we can't just be standing around here waiting for something to..." Stiles was cut off as something growled and slammed into me, making me fall into Stiles. I fell to the ground, but Stiles slammed into the wall and smacked his head once more today.

The Chimera ran past us and bolter out of here.

"Stiles." Scott freaked out as he bent over to Stiles.

Malia helped me to stand up but then grabbed onto the Chimera before he could leave.

Stiles reached for something and Scott bent down over to help him up. "Stiles." Scott repeated once more. His eyes slowly opened then gasped as he stood up. "You okay?"

He nodded, "Yeah, fine."

Malia growled and the Chimera growled back as she tackled him into the ground. "Let me go, please, please." He begged. Malia growled once more. "They're coming."

Then all of sudden, we heard the crackling sound and my heart dropped. No, I hate that sound.

Stiles pulled at my arm, making me stand beside him as Scott stood in front of us.

Malia growled and let Noah go and he wasted no time to get up and ran away but Stiles ran into him and pushed him into the wall. Noah groaned in pain.

"You're not going anywhere." Stiles threatened him.

"I said I don't remember," Noah said in a panic.

"You don't remember anything?" Stiles asked as Noah struggled to get out of his grip.

"No." He replied. "Not when it happens. Not when I change."

"You clawed my dad half to death, okay, and now it's poisoning him." Stiles told him. "You're gonna start remembering every detail right now."

"Guys, I hear them." Malia said and I nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, I do, too." Scott said.

"Hey, Stiles, get him out of here." Scott told Stiles, but he was too preoccupied with getting an answer out of Noah. Scott looked at me. "Get out of here." Then he glanced at Stiles. "Got to the hospital. Figure out a way to save your dad."

"We're not gonna be able to stop them." Malia said.

"But we can slow them down." Scott said.

I tugged at Stiles' shirt. "Come on, Stiles."

He looked at me and I tugged at his sleeve once more. He then glanced at Scott who nodded his head.

Noah grunted as Stiles pulled him away and dragged him out of here. I quickly followed them. I'm not staying here.

Then all of sudden we heard gunshots as we ran down the halls. After a couple of seconds, we arrived at a gate but there was a lock on it. Damnit!

"Run!" An unfamiliar voice yelled. I looked over at Stiles and Noah seemed panicked as he realized we were trapped.

"Step back." Noah told us. "I think I can break through it." I wasted no time and stepped back. "It's just sometimes, most of the time, I lose control. So you better step back." Then he went on to roll up his sleeves. Then Stiles stepped back as Noah got closer to the gate.

He groaned in pain as he shifted. I watched as some bones sticks or whatever it is came out of his body. Then he use that to smack the lock which ripped off the chains.

I have noooo idea what kind of creature he could be. He then took off the chains and started pushing on both sides of the gate to slide it open. He turned to look at us, "Let's go."

Stiles looked at him, "What's wrong."

He just shrugged it off. "Did you see that he was missing parts of that bone finger or whatever it was?." He said as we followed Noah down the hallways. "I think the missing part is inside my dad's body."

As soon we were out of the subway, Stiles called Melissa to let her know about it.
