"Hey" I heard Theo whisper to Scott, who was at the desk next to me.

I looked over at them both with a frown.

"I need to talk to you about something"

"You okay?" Scott asked, concern evident in his voice.

"Yeah it's not really about me" Theo said. "But it's probably something I should have told you a long time ago"

"What is it?"

"It's about Stiles"

My eyes widened as I looked at Theo, trying to get him to shut up, but his attention was focused outside.

"Do you hear that?" Scott questioned.

Theo frowned. "Is that the police?"

"It's an ambulance"

I looked over at the two boys. "Ambulance?"

I spotted Mason in the crowd of people and I pushed through people to reach him.

"He just started bleeding everywhere" My brothers best friend said in shock.

I looked over to see Corey on the stretcher. Covered in Mercury.

"Don't let them do it" Corey choked. "Don't let them kill me!"

"Scott, we have to follow them" Theo said. "We gotta protect him right. Scott, come on"

"Scott!" I waved my hand in front of my unresponsive friends face.

"Scott, this is what you do!" Theo exclaimed.

Scott nodded and the two of them headed back inside with the crowd.

"Hey, Mase. It's gonna be okay, I promise. Trust me"

He only stared at me in shock but I couldn't console him any further because I had to catch up with Theo and Scott.

"Hey, wait!" I yelled after the two of them.

They ignored me.

Rude.

"Guys!" I yelled, pushing through the crowd until I crashed straight into my brother.

"Kara, get out of here"

"You get out of here"

"I'm getting out of here when I find Hayden"

"Well hurry up!" I yelled at my brother before I was practically carried off through the crowd. "Love you!" I shouted back.

Liam rolled his eyes at me and I laughed.

"Sorry" I said, slipping through the crowd. "Excuse me. Sorry"

I spotted the boys in the parking lot and jogged over.

"Hey assholes wait up!"

I reached them as they paused by Theo's car.

"Give me a second" I said, trying to catch my breath. Running definitely wasn't my forte. "Okay, I'm good. Let's go"

"Wait" Theo said.

"What?" I groaned.

"Maybe you should stay here"

"Hmm. How about no" I reached over to open Theo's car door but he placed his hand over mine.

"I did this self defence class last year. I can kick some ass" I said.

"Really?" Theo raised his eyebrows.

"She actually did. And she's quite-" Scott started.

I pushed my elbow back, slamming it against Theo's chest.
