Slightly Reminiscent (Slightly Awkward Series / Book Six / Teen Wolf)

CHAPTER TEN---riders on the storm

I wound up in the train station after being taken from the hospital after the huge fight with the ghost riders. One of the ghost riders dragged me into the train station. I still had the two guns that I had stolen from dead ghost riders, shooting the one that was dragging me, and the horse, killing them both, standing, breathing heavily, holding the slash wound in my side from one of the whips in pain.

Dad and Stiles were already there, obviously, seeing me, looking worried but relieved, running closer.

"Stacie!" Stiles told me.

I smiled when I saw him. "Stiles!" I ran into Stiles' arms. Stiles held me to his chest comfortingly and protectively. We continued to embrace for what seemed like forever because of how long he was gone. We pulled away, smiling. I turned to Dad, hugging him. "Dad."

Stiles looked at the wound in my side. "What happened to you? Are you all right?"

"Yeah," I answered. "I've just been helping Liam and Theo fight off the ghost riders all night."

"And Theo?" Stiles repeated skeptically. "Dad told me he was back, but I didn't think that you would be helping him."

"Desperate times," I told them. Dad and Stiles nodded in agreement. "Ironically, he saved me. After I saved both him and Liam, but hey."

"Stace, we could hear Lydia," Dad told me. 

"I think I can get to her," Stiles told us. "I think she can get us out of here."

More ghost riders ran in.

Dad turned to Stiles. "Get your sister out of here. Get her help before that wound kills her like it almost killed Argent. Don't worry about me."

"What, you're kidding, right?" I asked.

"Go," Dad told us. "Get help. Find your friends."

"Yeah, and what about you?" I asked.

Dad smiled. "We'll find each other again."

Dad turned to aim his cop gun at the ghost riders.

I stepped after him. "Dad."

"Stacie..." Dad trailed off, trying to get me to go.

"No, you're gonna need this," I told him, handing him one of the guns. "I got this off a ghost rider. It's the only weapon that I know that can kill them. It'll protect you."

Dad nodded, taking the gun. "Go, now. I'll hold them back. Now get the hell out of here. Go. Go!"

Stiles took me by the arm, helping me run toward the exit. We ran down the train tracks, seeing the rift open in front of us, walking closer.

We heard Lydia's voice. "Keep going. I can see you, don't stop!"

We ran through the rift, going through it.

We appeared in the Jeep in the parking lot of the school, breathing heavily in confusion and relief.

We ran into Scott's house.

"Scott?" I called. "Scott?"

"Scott?" Stiles called. "Scott!"

I held my side in pain.

Stiles turned to me. "How the hell are we supposed to cure that?"

I walked toward Melissa's drawer of things in her desk, pulling out a needle. "Argent taught Melissa how to make something called the nine herbs. It's like a supernatural heal all. It saved Argent's life, and Peter's life. Made them heal instantly. I just need to get that and I'll be good to go."
