Maya Deaton

you can't protect everyone

"How'd you guys find out?"I heard Scott ask I stood by

"Lydia. You?"stiles said

"Morrell. None of the other alphas know where it is either."he said

"So if this works, are you gonna tell them?"stiles asked of course he is I had another cup of tea I had to get through

"I can't stop Jennifer without them."Scott said I held back an eyeroll

"How about we concentrate on finding your parents first?"my dad said

"What's the plan?"Vienna asked my dad looked at me i stood up on shaky legs Isaac was there to help me

"You, Allison, and Stiles need to be surrogate sacrifices for your parents."I said looking at Allison really anyone except for Scott

"We die for them?"Scott said I nodded

"But he can bring us back. You can... you can bring us back, right?"stiles asked

"You remember the part where I said it was dangerous? If it goes right, the three of you will be dead for a few seconds, but there's something else you need to think about. This is a dangerous thing for more reasons than one. You'll be giving power back to the Nemeton, a place that hasn't had power for a long time. This kind of power is like a magnet. It attracts the supernatural, the kind of things that a family like the Argents can fill the pages of a bestiary with. It will draw them here, like a beacon."my dad explained

"Doesn't sound any worse than anything we've already seen."stiles said I shook my head

"You'd be surprised at what you have yet to see."my dad said

"Is that it?"Scott asked

"It'll have an effect on the three of you. You won't be able to see it, but you'll feel it every day for the rest of your lives."I told them

"It'll be a kind of a darkness around your heart, and permanent, like a scar."my dad adds

"Like a tattoo."

"All right. What did you bring?"my dad asked as they returned they had to bring a sentimental value of their parents

"Um, I got my dad's badge. Jennifer kind of crushed it in her hand, so I tried hammering it out a bit. Still doesn't look great."he said as I folded my arms

"Well, it doesn't need to look good if it has meaning."deaton said

"Is that an actual silver bullet?"stiles asked Allison.

"My dad made it. It's kind of a ceremonial thing. When one of us finishes learning all the skills to be a hunter, we forge a silver bullet as a testament to the code."she explained

"Scott?"my dad asked

"My dad got my mom this watch when she first got hired at the hospital. She used to say it was the only thing in their marriage that ever worked."he explained I did feel bad that his mom got taken

"Okay, the three of you will get in. Each of us will hold you down until you're essentially... Well, dead. But it's not just someone to hold you under. It needs to be someone who can pull you back, someone that has a strong connection to you, a kind of emotional tether."my dad explained as he looked at me i sighed setting my cup down

"Vienna...You go with Stiles." my dad said she looks at Isaac in shock before looking at stiles

"it's okay"he said before she made her way over to him

"Are you sure? I mean, Scott and I both have to go under."Allison said that meant Isaac would be her tether and I Scott's

"It's okay."Scott tells her I threw my tea in the trash

"Maya....."I cut Scott off moving towards the tub

"let's just get this over with"i said

"Maya"my dad warned I groaned

"fine....I'm listening"i said folding my arms again

"everything that I did was to protect you...."I cut him off

"you can't protect me and all of beacon hills"i told him once again

"I have to"he said I shook my head

"you don't it's not your job if you're busy protecting everyone you won't have time to protect yourself and if something happens to you then what?"I asked him he comes closer

"what's gonna happen to your pack your friends and family.....me"i said as the tears welled up in my eyes

"guys...."I looked away from scott

"sorry we can talk about this once everything is over"scott said they all got in the water

"I hate seeing you like this"i heard Vienna tell stiles he grabs both of her hands that rested on his shoulders

"push me down when you're ready"he said rubbing her knuckles

"stiles...."he cuts her off

"you can do this vienna....i trust you"
