Kitsune || Teen Wolf

18

Aira pushed her way through the crowd and into the classroom, ignoring Ms. Finch's warnings to back up as she knelt down beside Scott, careful not to touch him in case that panicked him even more. "Scott?"

Scott glanced towards Aira, eyes distant as her voice sounded far away. "Scott, what's happening, what's wrong?" Aira asked worriedly. She had been at her locker when she heard someone shout for the nurse and instantly ran towards the large crowd, panicking more when she noticed it was Scott who needed the nurse.

Scott was a werewolf - Scott shouldn't need professional healing.

"He's having an asthma attack." Ms. Finch replied. "Do you know where his inhaler is?" She asked and Aira shook her head, turning to look back at Scott and instantly link her hand with his as he reached out. "Scott - where is our inhaler?" She asked.

"Scott, come on. Is it in your locker? Your bag?" Aira asked Scott who just breathed heavily as he looked at her. "Come on!" Aira turned her attention to the crowd who stared down at the scene silently. "Someone's gotta have an inhaler! Find someone!" Aira shouted.

She noticed a girl smiling slightly, almost laughing and probably would have stormed over there and ripped her head off if it wasn't for Scott's shaky hand gripping tightly onto hers. "Scott..." Ms. Finch attempted to catch his attention as his eyes moved to Aira's shirt, studying the pattern on it.

The three sat in the classroom, the women trying to coax Scott into speaking as he simply stared blankly at the wall and breathed heavily for a minute or so more.

"I've got it!" Liam's voice suddenly burst through the silence and Aira turned to look at the door just as Liam pushed through the crowd. "I've got the inhaler!" He continued, running into the classroom and crouching down beside his alpha.

Aira dropped Scott's hand as Liam placed the inhaler in it and placed his arm on the desk beside Scott's head. "Scott.." Liam spoke in a pleading tone, silently begging for him to take a hit of the inhaler and return his breathing back to normal.

Scott stayed still, the inhaler held in his hand as Liam shook his shoulder softly in an attempt to coax him into using it. "Scott, come on." Aira begged as Scott sat still. Ms. Finch had her hands held in a praying position, hoping Scott would use the inhaler almost as much as the other two were.

Liam then flashed his eyes golden and said "Scott!" in his Beta voice, finally snapping Scott back into reality as Scott gasped loudly before raising the inhaler to his mouth with a shaky hand and taking one long hit of it before almost breathing normally again, still quite raggedly though.

"Thanks.." Scott spoke as Aira let out a sigh of relied and rested her forehead on Scott's shoulder, thankful that Liam had shown up. She hadn't even known them for three weeks and she was already attached to the pack.

"If you died I would have killed you," Aira muttered into his shoulder as Scott let out a shaky laugh and raised his hand to her hair, petting the top of her head softly, trying to convince her he was alright.

"I would kill you again." Liam added from the other side of Scott and the three laughed slightly, glad all the panic was finally over. "We should get out of here.." Liam offered and Scott nodded, pressing his hand to the floor to try and push himself up.

"Stop it." Aira ordered and stood up quickly, Liam copying her actions and both of them holding out their arms to help Scott up. He smiled thankfully at the two before taking their hands and letting himself be pulled up.

Once Scott was stood up fully, the two slipped under his arms, helping to support him as the three walked out of the classroom, slipping past Ms Finch who was ushering the crowd away quickly.

Aira sat across from Scott in the locker room silently as she watched him fiddle with the inhaler, a thoughtful look plastered on his face. "You gonna be okay?" Theo asked through the silence and Aira shut her eyes from annoyance, wishing he would just leave already.

"Yeah, Aira's a great nurse." Scott joked, nodding his head towards the girl across from him as she smiled weakly at him. "I uhh, I think it was just a memory hitting me." Scott added, glancing back at Theo.

Theo opened his locker in search of something and Aira glanced over to him, he seemed to be deep in thought about something. "Did you wanna talk about something?" Aira asked after seeing Theo's expression.

She may not like the guy but she was a decent human being. "Nahh, nah, it can wait." Theo shook his head slightly but gave Aira a thankful smile.

"No! No, it's okay.." Scott spoke now. "What's up?" Scott asked and Theo began to walk towards the two.

"Last night, when you guys all fell asleep," Aira really didn't like the start of this story. "I went upstairs to check on Kira.." Okay, now she really didn't like it. "She was.. sleeping, but.." Theo paused.

"You heard her speak in Japanese?" Scott assumed and Theo nodded.

"But I didn't just hear it.." He motioned to his phone before pressing the start button on his recording app and raising his phone so both Scott and Aira could lean in as Kira began to mutter in Japanese.

Aira wished she could make out what she was saying but she could only understand Korean, not Japanese. "That.. That's what she said at the club," Scott commented, looking at Aira as he spoke, motioning his hand towards Theo's phone.

"I found a website that can translate it." Theo spoke. "It means - roughly..." Theo paused, crinkling his eyes slightly before breathing out and beginning to speak. "I am the messenger of death." Theo spoke.

Scott made a shocked face at Theo's words and Aira closed her eyes tightly, running her hands over her face worriedly. "Does it get worse?" Aira asked as she noticed how Scott avoided eye contact with her.

"Uhm.." Scott paused. "Yeah, Yeah something's happening to her." Scott explained. "There's this aura around her, it's hard to explain.. like Aira's is just calm and like... around her, Kira's is almost.. angry and always seems to be trying to protect her, like.. ready to fight," Scott attempted to explain.

At this, Theo turned to Aira with his gold eyes and nodded as his eyes landed on her, almost white, fox dancing softly around her, it's tail curling around her torso, almost protectively. Theo then blinked, his eyes returning to normal.

"It's supposed to be a part of her," Aira began to explain and both boys looked at her.

"Now it looks differently." Scott added. "It's almost like it's taking over.." Scott spoke and looked up at Aira to see if she understood what he meant, although Aira's eyes were trained on the floor, going over all of the possibilities in her head. "I dunno." Scott ended.

"Something's happening." Aira spoke, her attention trained to the dirty floor below her feet.

Theo looked at her, examining her posture, noticing how tense she was. "To be honest.." Scott paused and Aira glanced up. As the two made eye contact he spoke again. "I don't know if I can.. trust her anymore."

Almost ironically, at that second the lights suddenly flickered causing all three of them to look up instinctively. They all stood up in sync, still looking up at the lights before both the boys looked down causing Aira to give them confused looks.

"I hear it too..." Theo spoke, aiming his words at Scott as he knew Aira couldn't hear it.

"It's coming from the basement.." Scott added, staring down the the floor.

"Well, damn, let's go to the basement!" Aira added before making her way to the exit of the changing rooms, hearing silence for about a second before two steps of footsteps followed early behind her, waiting to see what had made the noise.
