Chapter 99
The apartment lock clicked and the door opened. I got up and ran to the door. Parrish turned around and I thew my arms around him. He was here and he was okay. And for some reason I felt more peace than I had in a long time.
He put his arms around me.
"He's okay. I'm okay. I promise." He whispered. Tears came to my eyes and I closed them tight. Chris had almost been killed. Scott and Kira are in Mexico. Derek's going to die. Everything is unraveling all at once and the time's running out to put it back together.
I pulled away with tears in my eyes. "Scott and Kira were taken by Kate. They're in Mexico." I told him quickly. My brain felt numb and I was tired to feel any emotion. "Then why are we standing around?" He asked confused. Parrish was getting the hang of things. When one of us is in trouble, we all go running in head on. "The others are getting things together now. We don't have much time. I just wanted to see you before we left." I told him all at once. My head was spinning with all the chaos that was being thrown at me all at once.
"Then lets go." Parrish said turning toward the door. I grabbed his arm and he turned around confused. I shook my head. "This is just the calm before the storm. A full out war is about to break out and I'm not going to let you get caught in the cross fire. None of us knows what you are much less your strengths and weaknesses. I can't risk you getting hurt." I pleaded. I'm not going to lose Parrish and I will not be responsible for his death."I've fought in battles before, Eva. I know what I'm doing." He insisted. I shook my head. No he can't come. If it takes me knocking him out and tying him up then that's what I'll do. "But this isn't a battle. This is war. This is a supernatural war. This isn't a gun war. Have you ever seen animals fight?" I asked him. He looked at me funny and nodded slowly. "Times that by a hundred. All of us have our reasons to want the other side dead and we won't hold back." I begged. I took his hand. He was not going to be like Alison and Aiden. "Please. I can't lose you." He just looked at for a few seconds. He pulled me close and kissed my head. "I promise I won't go with you."

I walked into the garage of Derek's building. Malia, Liam and Stiles were already there and a van was pulling up as I walked in beside them. Braeden got out. "How did you get a prison transport van?" Stiled asked skeptically. I wouldn't be surprised if she stole it. "I'm a US Marshal." Braeden said. I rolled my eyes. "Of course." I murmured. Malia smirked at me. Derek's car pulled up in the garage. "Yeah, I just thought that was a cover." Stiles told her. I sighed.
"Are we really bringing him?" Derek asked motioning to Liam who I was standing beside. A feeling of awkwardness came off of Liam. "Are we really bringing him?" I asked motioning to Peter. Nothing was going to make me not hate him. Ever. "We're bringing everyone that we can. And considering Scott and Kira were taken the night before a full moon, we should probably get going." Peter said. Of course he would try to take charge. I shivered. An odd mix off feelings were coming from Peter, and none of them that I liked. "What's that mean?" Malia demanded. I smirked. She questions Peter. I like her.
"If Kate took Scott back to the same temple that she took Derek, how do we know she's not planning to do the same thing to him?" Peter asked. What make him young? Why? "What, she wants to make him younger?" Liam asked. I shook my head. "Or take him back to when he wasn't a werewolf." Derek said. I don't think she has motive to do that. "A werewolf can't steal a True Alpha's power. But maybe a Nagual jaguar, with the power of Tezcatlipoca behind her... Maybe she can." Peter said. Stiles shifted uncomfortably. "No." I spoke up. Everyone turned to me. "I may hate Kate but even I have to admit she's smart. She knows that we'd think of that. She's up to something else. Something much bigger." I told them.
"So, if everyone is sufficiently freaked out, I say we get going." Peter said. "We can't. Not without Lydia." Stiles ordered.
