Bite the Bullet: to endure a painful or otherwise unpleasant situation that is seen as unavoidable
After two months of coping the death of their friends (Erica, Boyd, Aiden, and Olivia), the rest of the pack not only are faced with new thre...
"He's awake. Guys, he's awake!" I hear Kira announce and I tiredly rub my eyes. "Allison too, oh thank god." I sat up from the cold floor and rub the back of my head, feeling the ache rush through.
"Are you guys okay?" Stiles questioned, looking between Scott and I.
"They don't have him. They don't have Derek." He frantically spoke as Stiles and Kira helped us sit up.
"We know. They threw us in here after they knocked us all out." Kira explained.
"I feel like my head got slammed into a car," I mutter and my eyes widen in realization, seeing that only Stiles, Malia, Kira, and Scott were in the cell room. "Wait, where's Lydia?"
"They took her."
Confusion contorts on Scott's face. "Lydia? What do they want with Lydia?"
"Knowing them, they'll most likely see if Lydia's Banshee abilities would be useful to them." I say and Scott pushes himself off the ground and quickly goes to the metal door.
Kira places her hands on her hips as we watch him try to pry open the door with his claws. "We already looked for a way out. I think a lot of people have."
"I say when that door opens again, we take out whoever's standing in the way and run for it." Malia spoke up beside me and leaned against the metal pipe in the middle of the room.
Kira narrowed her eyes. "What about Lydia?"
Malia shrugged. "What about her?"
"She's our friend." I reply, knowing that this was her werecoyote instincts since she was still new.
"And?"
"We're not leaving without her." Scott sternly stated, reluctantly walking away from the door to stand in front of us.
She furrowed her eyebrows. "Why not?"
"Oh my god." I mutter to Kira who nervously glanced between Scott and I.
Stiles walks over to the girl with a small smile. "Because we don't leave people behind. Remember, we talked about this? Rules of the wild kingdom don't apply to friends."
"Is that what you would do as a coyote?" Kira questioned Malia. "Leave her for dead?"
"If she was weak and injured, yeah." Malia deadpanned, causing my eyes to widen. "If hunting had been bad that season, I would eat her." Kira nods slowly but Malia added: "Then I'd leave."

Stiles hums. "Believe it or not, that's progress." He gestured to her but I take a step away from the two.
"All right, guys, we're not dead yet." Scott assured but I give him a pointed look at the mention of the word 'yet'. "That means Araya wants something."
