Love Like Magic | Liam Dunbar FanFic

Chapter 5 | Weaponized

Chloe's POV
I woke up early, so I could make it to school in time for the PSAT's, I'm taking them early as the school believes I'm a genius for my age. I quickly checked my laptop for emails, when I looked over at my printer, I pulled off the piece of paper laying on top of it, I was shocked to see it was the dead pool, the first part, and what shocked me most was that I was no longer on it.

I arrived at school and saw the pack standing in a line for the PSAT's, trying to focus on them instead of the dead pool. "Where's Lydia?" Kira asked "she took it freshman year, just like me" I stated "does that mean I could've take it some other time?" Malia almost growled "Malia you'll do fine okay, you've studied harder than all of us combined" Scott spoke "doesn't mean I'm gonna do good" she retaliated "well..." Stiles almost whispered "well, what?" Malia questioned "it's do well not good" Stiles spoke "oh God!" Malia exclaimed while I smacked stiles in the back of the head. "We're doing this because while we're trying not to die we still need to live , if I survive high school id like to go to college, a good college" Scott said "it's only 3 hours, we can survive 3 hours" Kira backed Scott up.

We walked into the exam room, stamping our fingers on our papers and handing our phones in, before taking a seat, I zoned out and tried to focus on the exam, missing all the instructions, but it was easy enough to guess what the invigilator was saying. I overheard them taking about my dad not being 'punctual' and rolled my eyes. The exam started and it was actually pretty easy, much easier than I expected, I was whizzing through the questions, until Sydney fell off her chair "Sydney! Are you alright?" Mrs Martin questioned "I'm okay I just got a little dizzy" she replied getting up from the floor "Sydney how long have you had this?" pointing to a weird rash on her wrist "I don't know" she spoke, worry evident in her voice. "Every stay in your seats I'll be back in a minute" Mrs Martin spoke before leaving.

Soon the school was filled with people in yellow suits, and protective clothing and bubbles where the sick people went. "Bet they think it's smallpox" stiles whispered "not likely smallpox was eradicated worldwide in 1979, we've only managed to completely eradicate 2 viruses in history, the other was rinderpest, it killed cows" creepy invigilator dude spoke "so we should be comforted by that right?" Stiles asked "unless it's something worse" creepy dude spoke again, "whatever it is they're taking pretty seriously, there are a lot of truck and cars out there, you're dads with them" Malia said "I should probably call him" stiles said "don't bother, they would've shut off any access to all outside communication by now, no cell service, no wifi, no one starting to panic" creepy said in a creepy voice "well im panicking, my dads here somewhere and I don't know where he is or if he's okay" I said, looking around trying to see him, but was ignored.

I was behind Kira, with Malia, waiting to get blood taken so they can know if something is wrong "Chloe, Kira, do you ever get the feeling that Scott and stiles aren't telling you everything?" Malia questioned "what do you mean" Kira stuttered "like they hide stuff" Malia said "I think if they did, they probably have a pretty good reason" Kira said "do you know what they're hiding under Scott's bed" Malia asked bluntly "what? No I've never been on Scott's bed, or in it, just on it wearing clothes" Kira stumbled before getting called to get blood taken "if it's any constellation I think Scott and stiles are hiding something, they've been weirder than usual" I said to Malia, when a spark shot out of Kira's arm, Malia and I immediately pulled her away from the scene.

We went to the boys locker room to meet Scott, stiles and Kira's dad "I can't make them go back" Malia said pointing to her claws "obviously the virus is affecting the 2 of you differently than it would with a human" Kira's dad spoke "you guys have to stay out of sight, we have to quarantine you from the quarantine" Stiles said "yeah but where? What if they get violent? Like on a full moon" Kira asked "we can't stay here in the locker room" I said "a classroom won't hold us, a basement has too many exits, so I don't know where" I spoke "the vault, the hale vault" Stiles said. We pulled out a blueprint of the school to try and locate the vault and found that it should be in the basement. Stiles fell, Malia quickly grabbing him "it's happening to you" I said "you're getting sick, we all are" I said " I don't feel sick" Kira said "I think it's affecting you differently, neurologically, I found your test answers here in a pile with the others" Her dad said pulling out her test, to see her dots anywhere but where they should be. We all ran down to the basement, when I noticed my golden fairy dust, leaking from my hands, I could tell my eyes had started to change to a dark blue, signifying fear " uh guys" I said catching their attention, they looked at me, quickly turning away trying to find the vault.

"It will only open with claw anyone's claws right?" Stiles asked, him and Scott sharing a long stare before asking Malia to do it "why me?" She asked "I don't have control" Scott said holding his hand up "okay I'll do it, but first tell me what you've been hiding from me, I know you think you're trying to protect me but I can handle it, I know I'm on the list, so how much?" She asked "how much what?" Stiles asked "how much am I worth?" She asked "4 million" Scott told her "are you okay?" Stiles asked her "yeah, Chloe's worth 50, Scott 25, Kira 6, they'll take you guys out way before me" she exclaimed "one, that was rude, and two I'm not on the dead pool anymore" I said pulling out the sheet of paper that printed itself last night "I found it this morning and in not on it".Scott, Stiles and Kira's faces all changed as if they knew why, but I chose not to push it, as Malia opened the vault door. We stepped inside, and the huge stone door closed behind us.

We all stood pacing around the vault, with nothing else to do, I think the virus was hitting me harder than anyone else, because my vision and hearing started to blur, my eyes started to drop and my body slowly fell to the floor.

Scott's POV
"We need to tell them to truth, about Peter and well ... Chloe, they're gonna see the rest to the dead pool eventually"

Chloe's POV
Quiet murmurs and shadows was all I could hear and see. I hear a loud breaking sound, my eyes shot open, my hearing rushed back. I shot up from the floor gasping for air, I quickly scanned the room to see everyone looking a lot better, I saw Malia looking down at a piece of paper, Stiles rushed over to her, but she pushed back, walking out the vault, dropping the paper near me, I slowly crawled to pick it up and saw it was a dead pool, I quickly scanned down it.

A short gasp escaped my lips, I dropped the dead pool back on the floor, and quickly raced out the room.

I made it to the main hallway of school trying to find my dad, well not really my dad. I looked around the long hallway and saw Lydia coming towards me "hey, are you ok--" she started before i cut her off "did you know?" My voice was hoarse and tears threatened to spill, she sighed before nodding "look we didn't mean to h--" she spoke before I walked of outside ignoring her, still trying to find my dad. I bumped into a tall person, when I looked up I saw it was Liam "oh thank god you're oka--" I cut him off  "did you know? about the dead pool?" I asked him "look Clo, I promi--" I turned around walking back into school. I was basically running up the hallway "dad! Dad!" I shouted up the hallway, looking everywhere, I paused when I saw Scott and Kira, stood next to Stiles and Mr Stilinski, who where all looking at me, I saw Stiles open his mouth, about to talk, I quickly took off into a random room, which just so happened to be my dads office, closed the door behind me, tears finally fell, as my back slid down the door.
