Whose Eyes Were Red? [scott mccall][3]

chapter 10

A tear ran down her face as Levi fixed the cable back to her chest so no other nurses would burst in. Levi smiled warmly at the woman, reaching a hand out for her to grab on to.

"I'm so sorry, I am so-" Levi cut her off, knowing that Chris' life was on the line.

"Melissa, I can see you later, but you need to listen to me," She started, causing the woman to go silent. "Chris wasn't saying Mel, he was saying Mil! M - I - L!" Levi exclaimed, watching as the woman's eyes widened in realisation.

Melissa nodded, running frantically out of the room with a quick thank you. Levi would be there when she got back, but Chris wouldn't if she didn't hurry up.

"Malia, enough! Hey!"

Malia snarled out more, continuing to slam her hand into rough punches across the face of the boy underneath her. Theo Raeken was alive, no thanks to Liam and his friends, and was making her want to slaughter them all.

"Slow down, okay? He's going back in the ground," Scott said, shooting a meaningful glare to Liam in disbelief that his beta could have even thought of doing something as stupid as this.

"You can't!"

"He remembers Stiles and knows of Levi," Liam explained, looking to Hayden and Mason for support. They both nodded, but Scott and Malia were not tolerating this.

"Scott remembers Stiles. Lydia and I remember Stiles!" Malia growled, moving forward to go for Theo again. The werecoyote was having none of it, the boy had literally killed Scott and ripped their pack apart.

"But not Levi! None of us can remember her - Theo only knows what we told him before we all forgot her, meaning she's not been around us in a while. The Dread Doctors knew all about the Wild Hunt. He can help us!" Liam tried to reason, knowing that bringing Theo back from the dead had been a terrible idea but one he was willing to take blame for if it meant they could save their friends.

"Or he could kill us!"

"He's my responsibility. Noshiko gave me the sword," Liam argued, knowing that if anything bad happened it would be his fault - but he was feeling okay about that.

Theo sighed, playfully rolling his eyes as he pushed the limits of the pack.
"It's so awkward when Mom and Dad fight," he joked, causing them all to growl at him.

"Shut up!" They all yelled, sending their deepest glares to the chimera standing in front of them.

"You both are right. If Theo tries anything, we'll send him back to the Skinwalkers. But for right now..."

"He goes back now."

"Except Liam's the one with the sword," Theo noted, a smirk across his face as he studied them all.

"Shut up!" They all yelled, annoyed he even thought he had any right to speak to them all.

Malia...

"Can you give me a second alone with Theo?" Malia asked, cocking her head a she studied the boy in front of her.

"Why?"

"So I can kill him," Malia said, as if it was the easiest question on earth. She looked towards Theo but Liam tried to calm the tension again by shooting her a disapproving look.

"Okay, look, I know that there's mixed feelings all around. But I might be your only option to stop the Wild Hunt," Theo argued, knowing that his was his opportunity to be in Scott's pack. He understood now that trying to take the power would never work, but he could at least be in the pack.
