"Hey Scott! Allison!"
Derek came running towards me and Allison as we walked back towards the building. Before he got to us I wanted to tell Allison something.
Considering the fact that she just had an almost suicide attempt, she needs to see her therapist. She would help Allison through this. It's selfish of me to think this, but I can't lose Allison.
"Allison we need to talk later about seeing Dr. Holt again b-"
She cut me off before I could finish. Derek's presence was probably the cause of that.
"I haven't been able to find a strong scent to track the two betas. Every time I think I got them it leads to a dead end. This isn't some idiotic kidnapping. They planned this to lure you to them."
My hand found Allison's. I knew this is what would end up happening. It's my fault that Lydia was taken. The betas never wanted her. They wanted me. And they would get me. I would gladly sacrifice myself for Lydia. In a heartbeat.
"Well they got what they wanted because there's no way I'm leaving Lydia there."
"Scott you have to think about this. You don't know how strong they are or how many wolves they're with." Like I actually care about that. I wouldn't kill them anyways. There's no way that I could. I'll either stop them or I will give them what they want, the opportunity to kill me. If it means saving Lydia and everyone else I love then yes, id let them kill me.
"I don't care. I'm the True Alpha right? I'm not an alpha because I killed to get there. I don't leave people behind, ever."
That shut him up. "Hows stiles?" He asked. Great. Why the hell would he bring up stiles. I'm still uncomfortable with everything that happened, even if he can't remember it.
"He doesn't remember anything from the past two years. At all." Allison breaks her silence.
"Good. He shouldn't have to."
"How can you say that? He's forgotten all the good that's happened too!" I shoot back.
"I'm just saying this might be a chance to let him live." He shrugs.
I wish I could forget. Things would be much easier for me. I wouldn't feel this emptiness inside of me. Some things in my life would still make sense. Stiles isn't me though and I don't think he would choose that. Plus, I was the victim in the situation. Allison and Stiles only felt the guilt afterwards. I had to feel everything that I feared most. If there was a way to erase every memory of what happened, I would.
"Let's just go inside and talk to Isaac. Make a plan and then go from there." I nodded in agreement to Allison's suggestion.
My arm wraps around Allison's waist as we walk inside. Something about thinking of the "incident" made me feel the need to hold her close. I guess I just know that I could lose her at any given moment. With my luck, it will happen soon. My worst fears always become reality.
My grip tightened and my eyes wandered to the group of drunk men passing us. It's instinct at this point. I will protect Allison argent from everything.
Another thing I wish that I could erase. The memories of those men. Memories of Allison's at her most vulnerable. Those are memories I would erase. All of the pain and misery that I've been through, I would wipe it clean. It wasn't all misery, but enough of it was.
When we got to the room, stiles and Isaac were alseep, holding hands.
"Isaac..." Allison tried to wake him up, unsuccessfully.
"Scott you try." Derek suggests. Of course. I have to do everything.
In a few seconds, Isaac finally woke up. He looked so tired. Sleep deprivation. I understood. He hadn't slept in days. Neither had I. It's been longer for me. I've been suffering.
"What the hell do you guys want?"
"Well first why were you holding my best friends hand? And second I need you to come with me and Derek to get Lydia."
"First, fuck off. Second, no problem. I knew that we'd only get her back with you. They want you to go to them on their territory."
"Let's go then. I can't stand one more second of Lydia being there... With them."
"So what are we going to do? How are we going to find them?" Derek questions.
"I'm going to call them of course."
They didn't seem to understand what I meant.
"Lydia's phone guys"
And there they go. They understood.
"Okay let's go get Lydia." Allison said as if she actually thought I would let her go with us.
"You're not going anywhere but home." As much as I would hate Allison joining, her staying with Stiles would be even worse. Home. That's the only place she could be that I would feel comfortable with.
"No I'm going."
No.
