Thiam - A Quest for Hope

The Discovery

*Theo's POV*

I should of known this would of happened.I knew what Gerard's plan was. I overheard it, of course, but I didn't take any notice of it. Why? Because I was stupid. "He can't take on me!" I naively thought.I should of told someone. I should of told Scott. Stupid stupid stupid! Why did you do this! Why didn't you do something!

*Earlier that day, Theo's POV*

I woke up to the sun beaming through Liam's small glass windows, with Liam's head lying comfortably on my chest and his hand resting in mine. He wasn't awake yet, but this is usual for Liam. He could sleep all day if it wasn't for the hunters. I leaned down and gently placed a kiss on his forehead, and began to swiftly, but gently, get out of bed, trying to carefully manoeuvre myself from Liam's grasp. I began to walk to the kitchen, but looked back at my sleepy boyfriend. His hair was ruffled and untidy, his cheeks were glowing with a soft rosey-pink, and his facial expression was soft and angelic. In short, he looked adorable. 

I continued to the kitchen as my stomach was gargling with demanding need for some food. I opened the fridge, took out the two last remaining eggs, some bread and some butter. I placed a bowl on the kitchen surface and began to try to make some scrambled eggs, Liam's favourite dish. I grabbed the first egg out of the box, and cracked it against the bowl far too hard, forcing eggshell to go everywhere. So I tried again with the last egg, and drastically failed once again. 

"Shit!" I yelled, and then quickly clasped my hands to my mouth as I didn't want to wake Liam. 

It was too late.

A giggling head popped round the door as I felt my cheeks begin to swarm into a deep scarlet-red, embarrassed at my failure of doing such a simple task. 

"You idiot!" Laughed Liam who was in a surprisingly good mood. 

"Don't you laugh at me! I was trying to make you some of your favourite scrambled eggs!" I said while shaking my head, but I was secretly giggling with him too. 

He tiptoed over to me, wrapped himself around me and I rested my head against his shoulder. He kissed my neck gently while i nuzzled into him, feeling his warmth radiate off of him. We stayed like that for a couple of minutes, doing nothing but enjoy feeling the comfort of one another. He then pulled back softly, placed my hands in his and looked up at me with the most beautiful eyes. I lovingly looked down at him, falling into his spell. 

"I love you." I whispered.

"I love you more." 

There was a sudden knock at the door so we quickly jumped apart and sighed, knowing what was coming. Scott pushed open the door and charged in, quickly followed by an alarmed Malia, Lydia, Argent, Mason and Corey.

 "What is it? What's wrong?" I demanded. 

"They're coming. They're in their cars. Driving fast. We need to get you both out of here. Now." 

Scott hurried us out of the back door and we climbed into Stiles' Jeep which was waiting for us on the other side. Stiles pressed down on the accelerator and we sped off down the grassy hill. Argent was in the passenger seat with his head shoved outside the window, glancing back to make sure no one was coming, his gun loaded with bullets. The rest of us sat squashed up on the second row, with Malia and Lydia nervously trying to plot a plan with Scott. But I only had one intention, which was to keep Liam safe.

"It's Gerard, isn't it." Liam muttered, clearly trying to control his anger.

"Yes. We think he's after Scott. Not to reason with him, not to torture him, but to kill him." Mason said as he ran his fingers through his hair and grabbed onto Corey's arm.

"Which we won't let happen alright? It's going to be okay." Corey pressed.

"Why do you need us then?" I questioned, which shortly received a "are you serious" look from Liam. 

"We've got it!" Scott yelled, and then began to explain the plan. "We're going to trap him inside the school basement. Malia, your job is to close the big main door as soon as Gerard has gone in. Stiles, you and your Jeep will be on the field waiting for us. Lydia, as soon as Gerard and any other possible hunters have left the van, you will use your scream to tip it over so they can't drive after us immediately. Corey, you and I will go invisible and be close to the basement while I have a fake argument with Theo who will be inside it with Liam, to lure him in. You both will use the stairs at the back to get out once the main door is closed, and you will quickly lock the door at the end of the staircase behind you. Then we will all meet back at Stiles' Jeep. Any questions?"

"Nope."
