Return to Mexico

When all three were out of the car, they stood in a row in front of the jeep. Malia crossed her arms, Lydia stood with a hand on her hip, and Stiles just stood, looking very vulnerable and scared. The three teenagers eventually began to walk forward, but were stopped when they saw two hands, coming out of the ground, followed by a head, shoulders, arms, a body and then legs. There were three of them, and Malia bared her teeth and growled. Lydia cleared her throat to try and indicate she was a banshee, but Stiles just crossed and uncrossed his arms, showing him to be a very scared, but still braveish human. The skinwalkers examined the teens, not wanting to approach them. So, they chose to address them. " Why are you here?" Their throaty voices said in unison. Stiles started stuttering, but Lydia held up a hand to stop him. He gestured to the skin walkers and stepped back. "By all means, go ahead." Lydia rolled her eyes and spoke up. "We're here for Kira" The skin walkers looked at each other and then behind them. Kira stood, covered head to toe in dust, and drooping. She had her belt round her waist but was evidently exhausted. Her friends heart's wrenched. She smiled weakly, then dropped to the floor. Malia gasped, and growled again. The skin walkers smiled. " You want your friend? Come and get her." They brandished their spears and started to advance toward them. Lydia's smile faded and she looked at Stiles. Malia already had her claws out, she could take care of herself. "Stiles, get behind me." He looked at her like she was stupid. "Why?! You can't scream them away, can you?" She tilted her head at him. " Can you? Ok, holy shit that's cool!" Lydia yanked him behind her, and screamed her loudest. She aimed all it's force at the skin walkers and they were blasted backwards, to where Kira had been standing. By now, she was leaning on Malia, and they were getting in the car. "Go, quickly! Get in the jeep, Stiles go with them!" By this time, the skin walkers had recovered and were angrier than ever. "Lydia, come on! Quick!" Stiles yelled at her. She turned to the jeep, then back to the skin walkers. She gathered all her breath, and used her scream power to blow them further than the last time. She took this chance to run and jump, landing in the jeep. "Drive Stiles Drive!" she yelled, watching the skin walkers begin to run toward them. "DRIVE STILES DRIVE!" she screamed. This time he heard her properly, and he started up the engine. Kira looked around, obviously confused. She peered at Malia and smiled. "M-M-Malia? What are y-you doing h-here?" Malia shook her head and patted Kira's hair fondly. "Rescuing you, idiot. Seeing as your boyfriend has been completely incapable of doing anything for the past year." At this, Kira sat up straight. "Scott? Where is he? Is he ok? OMG I've missed him. Is he in Beacon Hills? I need to see him!" Malia stared at her in disbelief. "Thanks Malia, for saving my life." Kira rolled her eyes and looked at her expectantly. Malia laughed "Okay, okay. He's fine. He just hasn't functioned properly for a year." Kira started to cry. "I need to see him... I need to tell him I love him! I love him..." And with that, she passed out in the backseat, still crying, but with a content smile on her face, waiting to see the person who makes her feel like she belongs, her love, her life, her Scott.
