The Vampire of Beacon-Hills [ENGLISH VERSION]

S3b : Chapter Fourty-seven

ELENA'S POV :

The music echoes in the next room. My companion's blood flows down my throat when a scream makes me stop all activity and raise my head.

"ALLISON !"

Lydia.

Obviously, I'm the only one who heard this scream of the heart thanks to my supernatural hearing. I detach myself from my human blood bag and almost stagger to the toilets of the bar. A woman is drying her hands there. When she sees me, her eyes widen in fear, probably because of the blood dripping down my chin.

"Get out of here right now if you don't want me to kill you."

I can hear her heart racing as she runs out of the room. I lock the door before approaching the large mirrors placed above the sinks. I place my two hands on either side of it as I try to catch my breath. I am overwhelmed. Overwhelmed by all my emotions trying to resurface.

Allison. She is... she's dead.

I look at myself in the mirror. My chest hurts and my breathing is rapid. I'm sad to see.

I take a deep breath, and a second, and a third...

When I open my eyes again everything is back to normal. I feel light again. I look the same as I did a few minutes ago. And everything is perfectly fine.

SCOTT'S POV :

We all tried to grieve. At least to put aside what we were feeling while we stopped the Nogitsune.

We went to see Deaton to find out how to stop it for good. According to him, a container made from the bark of the Nemeton would be able to imprison it and prevent it from coming back.

Night fell and Lydia, Stiles, Kira and I went to the high school to finally put our plan into action.

"Scott, wait two seconds," my best friend stops me. "I know what you're thinking. That if the plan works it could kill me too. But even if I die you have to go through with it. You follow our plan to the letter. And if ever-"

"The plan is to save you."

"Yeah but... If it happens," he continues. "Tell my father and Elena that-"

"I know. But you'll tell them yourself."

I open the doors of the school and we enter a snowy room, like a Japanese garden.

After long seconds, we see the Nogitsune in its primary form heading towards us.

"I'm here to keep my promise Stiles," he says. "Remember, I told you. We're going to kill them all ! One... after... the other ! Do you know the ritual of seppuku, Stiles ?"

"I'm not sure I want to know it."

"It's when a samurai disembowels himself with his own blade to maintain his honor. But it's not this gesture that causes his death. The fatal blow is delivered by his friend, the kaishakunin, who cuts off his head with his katana. It's Scott, who is your kaishakunin. Tonight, your best friend is going to end your suffering and you're going to let him do it. Because otherwise, everyone you love will die."
