The Witch 🐺 {Under-Edit)

Chapter Thirteen: Kanima

Two long hours had passed, we mostly splashed around in the water, trying to keep ourselves about the water. The creature circled the outline of the pool, not daring to enter the water, but we couldn't leave due to it trying to kill us.

"Ok, ok," Stiles states, his breath was short, as he was tiring from floating above water with extra weight on him. "Okay, I don't think I can do this much longer," water spurted out of his mouth as he talked. As he looked towards the side of the pool which held his phone.

"I have a plan," I spoke, my head bobbing above the water as Derek and Stiles took their gazes at me. "I'll distract the creature, while Stiles gets his phone to call Scott,"

"No, no, no, no! Don't even think about it," Derek stressed out, as his head was getting lower into the water as Stiles couldn't last to hold him.

"Can you just trust us this once?" Stiles spoke quickly, looking at Derek as I did the same.

"No!" Derek replied within a second of Stiles finishing his sentence off.

"He's the one keeping you alive and I'm being bait," I spoke with haste as we couldn't keep chatting away, every second we lost our strength. Well their strength.

"Yeah. And when the paralysis wears off, who's going to be able to fight that thing, you two or me?" Derek states.

"You know what I can do Derek, you've seen me in action," I said, as I got a confused gaze from Stiles, but I had passed it off as we needed to focus.

"That's why I've been holding you up for the past two hours?" Stiles spoke, water exiting his mouth as the water was bobbing up and down, as we created waves under the surface.

"Yup. You don't trust me. I don't trust you. But you need me to survive, which is why you're not letting me go," Derek spoke the truth. We didn't trust him, but deep down I wanted to trust him more than anything.

Stiles looked to Derek for a moment and then his eyes locked onto me. I knew what he was thinking and I agreed with him. With a nod of my head, Stiles threw Derek's arm from around his neck. We both hurried towards the side of the pool. I went in front of Stiles as he swam behind me. As we neared the side, the creature walked out from the side of the pool, it was hissing at us as it had seen.

"Do something," Stiles said quickly, his eyes burning into the back of my skull as the creature neared. I raised my arm up from out of the water, my hand turning into a fist at the creature. As my hand was in a fist the creature began to scream in pain as the spell was working, it crawled backwards, it's hands touched it's scale head.

"Get the phone. I can't hold it for much longer," Stiles quickly swam past me, making splashes along the way. My fist hand began to tremble and shake, the toxins were still in my body. I see Stiles reach the edge, but my body gave out, and my hand dropped to the water. The creature had stopped screaming, and was quickly recovered, before looking eyes with Stiles before the creature lunged towards him. But Stiles was quick and grabbed his phone just before the creature could come any closer.

Stiles swam back to where we had left Derek and I was on his tail this time around,as the creature hissed and screamed at us. We made it back in no time and Stiles began to dial Scott's number. Before putting it to his ear.

"Scott!" Stiles said with fear in his voice, but all I could hear was the phone beep again as he just hung up on him. Water filled my ears, it was harder to hear. I looked to Stiles to see him shocked, before he looked down in the water to see Derek. "Agh!" he let out before throwing the phone into the water, and dove under for Derek.

Within seconds he grabbed Derek and they were both back on the surface of the water, both gasping for air. "Tell me you got him!" Derek said, hoping that we had got him and letting him nearly drown was worth it. But Stiles and I didn't say a word, and Derek took it as we didn't get help, he groaned, in annoyances. I went to the other side of Derek to help support him with Stiles.
