One to last (Kai Parker x Malia Tate) ON HOLD

Chapter 12: Hello, old friend

I stare blankly at him and grow my claws out.

"A legend huh?" I laugh.

"Are you underestimating me?" He replies.

All of a sudden I growl and run towards him. He thought quick and growled back. 

He holds my arms and swings me around so that it's me against the wall.

"Thought you could take on and Alpha? Wow! Nice to see you're confident." 

I growl at him again. Fury is running in my veins.

Suddenly, there's a knock at the door. We both turn our heads to the entrance and see who it is.

"Sorry... Am I interrupting something?" Kai says in a sarcastic tone. 

The alpha lets go of me and walks towards the dark haired man. 

"And you are?" 

"Protecting my investment." Kai mocks.

He twists his hand causing for there to be a high pitched whistling noise.

We both fall to the floor as we try to cover our ears. Kai chuckles at our pain and grabs me by the arm.

"We're getting out of here." He whispers.

Before Kai manages to drag me out of the Motel room, the other person screaming in pain scratches my arm. I yell in agony. Kai turns his head to me and places his hand on my wound.

"Dammit. Run out of magic." He mumbles.

He lifts me up again and we both walk out the door. With his hand still on my wound.

I open my eyes and realise that I'm in a car with Kai driving again. I look at my arm and see the three blood dripping scratches. I try to touch it but instead, i get stopped by a warning.

"Wouldn't do that if I were you. He cuts deep."

I sigh and look at the road.

"Where are we?" I ask.

"Nu-uh. You're answering my questions first. I have a lot." Kai commented.

"Who is he?"

"His name is Dean Fernard. An Alpha with many powers. When I was a coyote, I came across his pack and they were feared by everyone. You had to be on their good side or else you would've been dead. A few years later I found out he was connected with my mum and Kylie's death. Then we had an argument and some people ended up dead." I croaked.

"Okay. Thank you. Now I shall answer your question. We're off to see your dear friend."

He looks at me and does his villainous smirk. 

"The girl who surrounded by death." He added.

I stared back at the road.

"Lydia Martin." I sighed.

Yes. Of course, I was happy that I was going to see her however, It's the company I'm not too keen on. However, Kai did just save me from probably getting killed... He's still crazy though. 

"Why are we off to see Lydia?" I asked.

He opens his mouth to answer but instead, I interrupt him with another question.

"And how on earth do you know her?" 

"If you let me speak, you'll know. She's one of the most powerful banshee's to ever be. Also, she's the closest to Mystic Falls. We need a banshee because the only person I know who is kinda psychic is Lydia. She may know why people are going missing." He asnwers.

"Um... have you been living under a rock? Bonnie is kinda psychic. AND she's in Mystic Falls." I chided. 

"Yes, but she can't know you're out the prison world. Keep up. I've told you this." Kai asserted.

He turns back to face the world and I lean my head against the window. As I slowly shut my ears the 21st-century beats fade into the background.

"Stiles? Where are you going?"  I ask.

"I've gotta go for a few."

He takes off his blue jacket and wraps it around me. 

"You're coming back right?" 

"Yeah. I'd never leave you behind." 

I lied on the ground. Shivering. Scared. Defenseless. I watched Stiles go and saw him disappear through the doorway. I close my eyes and shut everything out.

"Mum... Kylie?" I ask. Tears streamed down my cheeks and onto the floor. 

"I- I didn't mean what I said. No. You can't leave me." I sob and yell in pain. I grabbed Kylie's baby doll and pulled it towards my body. I hugged it tight and looked at her.

Standing up, and looking at the two bodies lying breathless on the floor, I hear footsteps behind me, yet I don't move. 

"Everyone leaves you, Malia." They kept saying that over and over. 

"Your mum, your sister... and the one you love most." 

---

I shot my eyes open and looked at the road. 

"Whoa... she's awake again... By the way, you were drooling." Kai mocked. I ignored him and thought to myself. 

"Well. That was a dream I haven't had in a while." I think to myself. 

I notice that my cheeks were damp. "It's weird... Never knew you could cry in your sleep?" The witch summarised.  I ignore him again and ask him where we are and how much longer we've got until we get to Beacon Hills. 

"About 15 minutes. Anyway, what were you dreaming about?"  He asks.

"Just my problematic mother trying to kill me... again." I partly lie. I didn't want to tell him about Stiles because that was none of his business. And, I guess there's a part of me that'll always love him. I mean, he's the first person I felt a connection with after turning back human. He made me want to stay human with him.  

"Okay....." 

He know's I'm lying. Great. At some random point in the day, he's going to ask me about what I was actually dreaming about. 

"Kai. Why did you kill your family?" I ask.

He turns his head to me and smiles. 

"You not worthy of my reasons." He answers back.

"God. You sound like Dean." I laugh.

He stays quiet for a minute and faintly chuckles. 

I see us approaching a sign on the left side of the road.

"Welcome to Beacon Hills. Drive Slowly" It read. 

"Well... We're here." I say. I'm not sure what to feel. I haven't been here since the accident. I wonder if anyone will remember me. Scott, Lydia, Kira... Stiles.
