- CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX - ⚡Relics⚡
Argent stood in the tunnel outside the bunker and when he heard something from behind him. Argent quickly spun around, pointing his rifle when Malia grabbed the barrel, looking at him weird as he sighed softly, lowering the rifle. "How many times are you gonna point your gun at someone?" Iris asked as she came up to stand behind Malia.
"Thanks for coming." Argent said and Malia nodded slightly, "You need our help?" She asked. "I need a babysitter." Argent said and Malia shook her head, "Good thing you call Iris because I'm not the babysitting type. Coyotes eat their young." She said before starting to walk away but Argent stopped her, "You could have killed me, last night. Or worse, Melissa. But I can help you." He said and Malia turned around.
"Aren't you the one who shot me?" Malia asked and he sighed softly, "I come from a family of hunters. It's our job to deal with situations that an ordinary person-" Argent said and Malia cut him off while looking at him weirdly. "Job stress?" She asked, "You know that bloodlust you felt? I've seen that look before. When I was your age, I saw someone control and slaughter an innocent. And I did nothing." Argent said.
"I'm not that werewolf." Malia said and Argent shook his head, "It wasn't a werewolf. It was a hunter. She made excuses. And invented a convincing case... that lethal force was necessary but it wasn't. And if I had done something that night... maybe my sister wouldn't be the monster she is today." Argent said and Iris sighed.
"Kate." Iris said and Argent nodded and sighed softly, "Animals lose control. You're not just an animal, Malia. You're also human. You stay like that when you get involved." He said.
Before any of them could say anything else, a sound from inside the bunker made them look over. Walking inside, a kid named Nathan had accidentally triggered one of Chris' sonic spikes. Iris sighed in annoyance as she grabbed it and turned it off while Nathan looked at her and Malia confused.
"What are you doing here?" He asked, "I asked them to come. And I asked you not to touch anything else." Argent said, giving Nathan a pointed look. "Look, how much longer do we have to be down here?" Nathan asked and Iris raised her eyebrows, "As long as it takes." She said as she walked back over to Argent and Malia as Argent cocked his rifle, making Malia look at him with slightly wide eyes.
"Okay, I'll stay. You've shot enough people for one day." She said.
"How do you know that they can't get in and shoot all of us?" Jayden asked, looking at Argent, Iris and Malia completely freaked out, "I'll never graduate. I'll never do anything. This is it!" She said and Malia turned to Argent. "Give me the stun gun." She said and Argent raised his eyebrows, "Can you think of a better, less-seizure inducing way?" He asked and Iris shrugged slightly.
"I think I got a few spells that could work." She said as Jayden glanced around at everyone, "Don't any of you get it?! We are never leaving this place!" She yelled before getting up to run towards the door but Malia and Iris stepped in front of her. "Jayden. It's okay. Before they get in here, they have to go through us." Iris said and Jayden shook her head slightly, "What if that's not enough?" She asked
"No one is getting through that door." Malia said and Iris glanced around before noticing something making her turn to Argent and Malia, "Nathan's missing." She said, making them look at her. They walked over to another door of the bunker to see a grate above them open.
"What happens if he gets out?" Malia asked as she, Iris and Argent now stood in the tunnels and Iris sighed and shook her head. "He'll break the seal and the Ghost Riders are free to come in whenever." She said and then Malia looked down a tunnel.
"This way." She said before quickly running down the tunnel, making them quickly follow her. "You were good back there with Jayden." Iris said as they ran and Malia glanced back at her, "Thanks. I still want to kill Nathan." Malia said as they stopped and Argent nodded.
"At this point, we all do. Which way?" He asked and Malia looked down a tunnel, "This way." She said and they started running down it. After a little while Malia slowed to a stop, "You lost it?" Iris asked and Malia shook her head, "No. I don't know. Maybe. It's like he's right here." She asked as she glanced around.
"But no Nathan." Argent asked and Malia shook her head, "He's still here. I know it." She said, glancing around before looking at a vent and leaning towards the wall, listening for a second. "Nathan. I know you're there." She said and a second later they heard him call back out through the vent, "How?"
"Stay put. We're coming to get you." Argent said, "No, you're not." Nathan called out and Malia glanced back at Argent and Toni. "He's moving." She said, making Iris roll her eyes, "You need to stop running! You're gonna lead them right to us! Nathan!" Iris yelled before they quickly ran down the hall. They turned the corner to see Nathan running off in the distance.
"Shoot him." Iris said and Argent raised his eyebrows, "Did you listen to my story?" He asked and she shrugged. "Just clip him. You clipped me." Malia said and he sighed, "You healed. Come on. We're wasting time." He said before running off making Malia growl in frustration before her and Iris quickly ran after him.
"Nathan! Nathan!" Iris yelled as they ran over to see him climbing up the ladder to leave the tunnels, "We can keep you safe!" Malia yelled. "Bull. I'm out of here." Nathan said before lifting up the great, breaking the seal. He was about to climb out but he was suddenly yanked out before disappearing on a cloud of green smoke.
Seconds later three Ghost Riders jumped down as Argent raised his rifle. Two Ghost Riders pulled out a gun while the third pulled out a whip. Malia, Iris and Argent glanced at each other before Malia flashed her eyes and let out a roar while Argent quickly started shooting and Iris took a deep breath.

At the hospital Scott ran up while Iris, Melissa and another nurse wheeled Argent into a room. Malia walked along with them next to the bed.
"Is he okay?" Scott asked and they stopped outside the room, "He has blunt force trauma to his temporal bone, three broken ribs, and multiple surface lacerations, which Iris and Malia said are whip mark." Melissa said before lowering her voice to a whisper so the other nurse doesn't hear. "What he needs is a lot of rest." Melissa said and Scott nodded before they wheeled Argent into the room.
"What happened?" Lydia asked as she ran up to Scott, Iris and Malia, "The Ghost Riders took everyone. We barely slowed them down. Tell us you found something." Iris said and Lydia sighed. "I found out Claudia never had children. So, Stiles can't be her son." She said, making them sigh, "What about a relic?" Malia asked and Lydia shook her head.
"There never was a Stiles, was there?" Malia asked and Scott shook his head slightly, "It doesn't even sound like a real name." He said. "We have to keep looking. Check the school records again, or call Scott's dad..." Lydia said and Iris shook her head, "We're fighting the wrong battle." She said and Lydia sighed.
"We're trying to bring Stiles back." Lydia said, "The Ghost Riders came back. We still have no way of stopping them. And whatever they are, they're real. We can't keep chasing someone who isn't." Malia said and Scott smiled sadly and nodded.
"He didn't leave anything behind." He said and Lydia sighed, "Just us."
