Kitsune || Teen Wolf

9

Aira had decided she was giving up on the whole 'find one body part and focus on it' long ago. She was now just laying on Stiles, almost asleep, waiting for one of the others to move and help her up - hopefully not Stiles.. he was a good pillow.

There was a sudden clatter and her eyes shot open, suddenly wishing she could move freely as she heard footsteps and more noises. She cursed herself for falling face-down as she couldn't look up at whoever had walked in.

Oh God - this is seriously how she was going to die? Laying uselessly and pathetically on Stiles?

"Thanks, Theo." She heard Scott's voice and sighed out in both relief and disappointment. I mean, yay, she was alive and all but of all people it had to be Theo who saved her? Stiles said not to trust him but Theo was making it had to do that.

She felt Theo grip her waist and pull her up from the ground before leading her to the metal tray that Tracy was previously laying on. She simply nodded at Theo, holding herself up as best she could as Scott let her lean on him.

"How did you find us?" Scott asked, now standing almost completely straight as he easily held Aira up who was still struggling in his arms - although her legs felt like static - a good sign of feeling coming back to them.

"'Cause you work here.." Theo stated the obvious, shaking his head slightly, "I heard about Tracy, I've been looking for you," He glanced at Aira for a second before looking back at Scott and turning to help Stiles up.

"No!" Stiles attempted to protest Theo's help but Theo simply ignored him, wrapping his arms around Stiles' stomach and pulling him up from the ground, Stiles grunting the whole time. Stiles flopped down on the trolley, letting out another grunt of pain.

"We lost her." Aira stated sadly, her fingers now regaining feeling as she pulled at Scott's shirt slightly before letting go, testing out her grip. 

"And Malia." Stiles sighed in annoyance, obviously upset that Malia hadn't waited for them to go with her - but she was their best chance of finding Tracy so he couldn't particularly blame her either. 

"I can help." Theo offered. Stiles and Aira shared a look that both Theo and Scott missed. Theo then turned and helped Deaton up from the ground. Deaton seemed like the least functioning person as he fully flopped onto the trolley, groaning in pain as he did so. 

"This is Theo?" Deaton asked with a doubtful look on his face. He had overheard Stiles and Aira 'bitching' about him earlier and didn't expect the boy to be so helpful towards -basically- a bunch of strangers.

Stiles nodded, staring down at his fingers as he leaned on the trolley for support.

"Let me help." Theo almost demanded, looking directly as Scott, making Aira shift slightly as it felt like he was staring straight through her. "It doesn't have to mean I'm part of the pack." Theo offered after seeing Scott's uncomfortable expression. "Or like you've accepted me or anything like that." He now stared directly at Aira and she frowned, looking away from him. 

Theo sighed out slightly -mostly in annoyance- as he watched the girl look up at Scott to see what he thought of Theo's request.. offer? "It just means that I can catch this girl." Theo spoke after a few seconds of silence.

Scott turned to look at Aira and then Stiles for approval. Both simply shrugged, not completely trusting Theo but not denying his help either. They all had a stare off for a few seconds before Theo interrupted again.

"Scott." His voice filled the silence. "I can help you."

Scott looked down at Aira before sighing and nodding at Theo who smiled brightly. Aira slowly pulled back from Scott and took a few steps, testing out her legs, silently praying that she wouldn't fall and embarrass herself in front of them.

"We better go check on Donovan." Stiles muttered, pushing himself back from the trolley and wobbling for a few seconds. Aira joined his side and let him rest his arm on her shoulder. "You'll be okay, Doc?" Stiles asked.

Alan simply nodded, still seemingly working on making his body parts work. Stiles and Aira exited first. "You trust him yet?" Aira asked, looking towards Stiles as they wobbled towards Stiles' jeep which Scott would probably drive.

"Hell no." Stiles hissed out in annoyance as they opened the jeep's door and Stiles slid into the passenger's seat. "You?" He asked her as she slipped into the back.

When she turned to look back at Stiles he was staring at her with a questioning look on his face. "I trust you, Stiles. If you don't like him - I don't." She nodded, confident in her trust in Stiles.

He smiled happily at her words. No one really listened to Stiles and his theorys anymore so having Aira around was like a breath of fresh air. They smiled at each other for a few seconds before Scott, Deaton and Theo came rushing out of the building.

"What? What's happened?" Aira asked worriedly as Scott stumbled into the driver's seat, taking the keys from Stiles and staring the jeep before Theo and Deaton could even get into the back seat with Aira.

"It's Lydia." Scott answered shortly.

The four came rushing into the police building, eyes searching frantically for a teenage girl lying on the ground covered in blood. "Lydia!" Scott called out loudly just as Aira called "Kira!". Kira had been the one to text them for help.

They heard Kira's shout and instantly ran towards the noise, searching the building for a few seconds before Aira's eyes landed on Kira holding Lydia's bleeding side.

"What happened?" She asked worriedly, reaching forwards to join the two on the ground as Theo appeared in the doorway, kneeling down beside Aira and putting pressure on Lydia's wound.

"Tracy- she-she.. she had a tail.. I cut it off with my katana.." Kira muttered, seemingly confused.

Aira pulled her into a hug, a smile on her face. "I'm proud of you, Kira. Your parents will be too. Now come of we've gotta help Lydia for now," She pulled back from her cousin and helped Theo apply pressure to Lydia's stomach.

She glanced up, seeing Scott run past the door frame and Stiles abruptly stop, staring down at Lydia with a terrified look on his face. Theo pulled off his best and wrapped it around Lydia's waist, just above the cut to stop the bleeding.

Stiles continued to stare down, seemingly in a trance as he watched Theo tighten the belt. "Scott.." Aira heard Deaton's voice from outside the room but ignored it, continuing to attempt to help Lydia.

Natalie soon came into the room, shoving Stiles out of the way and running towards her daughter. "Oh God.." She gasped out, sitting down on the ground and resting Lydia's head onto her lap.

Lydia was letting out gasps of pain as Aira pressed harder at Theo's request and he tightened the belt. Aira wanted to stop as she knew it was hurting Lydia but she knew that it was for the greater good - it would stop the bleeding. 

"Stiles!" Scott called. "Stiles!" Stiles turned to look at Scott. "Stiles, come on."

He turned back to look at Lydia once more, the worried look itched onto his face by now. "It's okay.. she's alright." Theo reassured Stiles and Aira nodded, agreeing with Theo and his doctor skills.

"Tracy." Lydia spoke. "Stiles. I'm fine." She nodded. Theo and Aira looked up at Stiles, urging him to go as Kira was still internally panicking at the thought she had just chopped someone's tail off. "Help Tracy," Lydia ordered.

"Stiles." Scott spoke with a more demanding tone than before.

"Go!" Aira ordered.

"Come on, Stiles." His dad spoke and the message finally got through to him as he gave Lydia one last long look before turning around and running to join Scott. Theo looked at Aira and they stared at each other for a few seconds before Aira broke the contact, looking back down at Lydia.

"You better not ditch me in biology."
