Chapter 22

I entered the council room with Hope. "Hey! Whoa whoa! Why are two here?" Kaleb asked. "I'm a Chimera. Only one of my kind. I ran unopposed." I said. Josie looked at me before glancing down at the dried blood on my hands. "Same but for the Tribrid." Hope said sitting next to me. "What the hell happened to you?" Kaleb asked me. "You don't wanna know." I said slumping into the chair. "Okay...well. Let's get started, shall we?" Emma said entering the room. I stared off into space as Emma voted for Landon to stay put. To be honest....everytime I heard Landon's name...I thought of him being beaten to death by Jed. Which made me relive the moment of me practically killing Jed for nearly murdering Landon.

I didn't realize how emotionally and mentally unstable I was until I blew up in rage. I hadn't felt rage like that since...I was possessed....by the Hollow. Of course, the rage I unleashed was nothing to what I unleashed onto those purists vampires that tried to end my family. I ended a battalion of them with flick of my wrists as I screamed bloody murder....my eyes glowing bright cerulean blue. Half of the Hollow was in me and the other half was in Hope. But because of the mix of creatures I was...It had taken a heavier toll on me. Especially when you're part-Hellhound and a nine-tailed Japanese sadistic demon fox that loves chaos and pain. Killing those vampires resulted with the death of an innocent woman. The blast from the Hollow's magic, Nogitsune's foxfire, and Hellhound's hell-fire killed the poor woman in seconds. And I triggered my werewolf curse. Yeah....that was unsurprisingly unpleasant to go through. Even with my father helping me through it...still would have helped if mom had done the transition with me...had she still been alive at the time.

"STILES!!" The sound of Hope's voice brought me back to reality. "Forgive me...I was...thinking about something." I said apologizing. "You're the last one to vote." Kaleb stated. I looked around at the staring faces. "The mystery of whether Landon's supernatural or not...is still in the air. But what I saw today...only proved one thing. Supernatural or not...Landon would be in constant danger if he were to stay here. Sure...someone could protect him...but what if we weren't there? His injuries...or worse...his death....would be on us. And I for one...can not handle another person dying...whether or not they are my family, my friends, enemies or even a complete stranger. I've seen more death than any person at this school or in this town. Possibly more than the man this school was named after. If another person were to die on my watch...I don't think I could take it....Not again...I'm sorry Raf...but Landon goes." I said before abruptly standing up and leaving the room.
