A Hale and The Argent- Allison Argent (3)

5.7.1

"Stiles...you can't say anything" Stiles stares down at the dead Chimera in shock as Theo looks at him pleadingly. "Please, don't say anything" "Why not?" Stiles asks. "Because I never said anything about Donovan" Theo brings up.

Stiles stares at him as Theo shifts back to human. Madi comes running up, having ditched the others to check on Stiles. She takes notice of the dead Chimera right at Theo's feet and the blood on his hands as she stands beside Stiles.

"What happened?" Madi asks in shock. "I know what happened to Donovan" Madi falters at the revelation. "I know everything-" Theo doesn't get to finish as Stiles lunges forward, slamming him against the fence as Theo grunts. "You don't know anything" Stiles denies.

Theo flips the two, slamming Stiles against the fence and Madi snaps into action, pushing Theo off of Stiles and pushing him back against the fence. "Don't touch him!" She snaps. "I was there. I was at the library. Malia found the book. She was texting us to see where you were. She said she left you two and Allison at the library. Allison said she left as well and that you two stayed behind and Madi wasn't answering her phone"

"I told them I was close. When I got there, I heard the scaffolding come down." Theo explains. "You saw him?" Stiles asks. "Just the body." Theo says and Stiles and Madi glance at each other. Madi tried to listen to his heartbeat but her powers were being all wonky again. She couldn't understand what was wrong with her.

"I watched you two come out, Madi could barely even stand. I was gonna say something, but then I saw the cop car. And the body was gone" Theo sighs. "You didn't take the body then?" Madi wonders and he shakes his head. "I don't know who took him. I only saw what you two saw, and I didn't say anything because you two didn't." Theo informs them.

They hear sirens wailing in the distance and turn to look back. "It's not an ambulance, is it?" They shake their heads and Stiles starts to walk away. "Hey, we should get out of here." Theo says as they look down at the body. "We can't just leave him." Stiles denies. "Fine. Let's take him then. Someone's stealing the bodies anyway, right? Here's our chance to find out who" Theo points out.

"No, we shouldn't be using dead bodies as bait. The cops should know. Give the guy some peace" Madi says as Stiles looks over the clawed hands. "Guys, come on. The cops will notice the claws. We can't let them see him. Let's take him. We gotta do something." Theo says.

Stiles turns back to look at him. "You killed him" "In self-defense. He was going to kill you and me. If we stay, we're either going to have to tell the truth or we're going to need a pretty convincing story." Madi and Stiles give each other unsure glances. "It's your choice. I'm not going to ask you to lie to your dad, Stiles." Theo says.

"Don't worry. I've had plenty of practice." Stiles sighs before starting to pick up the body. Theo goes to help as Madi still watches unsurely. "This doesn't make up for the fact you killed him. You could have easily stopped him by knocking him unconscious or something" Madi brings up and Stiles seems to pause as he sees Madi still isn't on board with this as Theo turns to her.

"He was too strong. I could barely get a hit on him. It was self-defense. Just like how you killed your father" Theo brings up and Madi's jaw clenches. "No, you can't...you don't know the story. You don't know what you're talking about" Madi says through gritted teeth. "I know it enough to know that you ripped him apart after he chased you with needles throughout your childhood" Theo says and Madi shakes her head. "You don't know anything!" She snaps.

Stiles walks towards her, bringing her away. "We have to take the body, Madi. I know we don't trust him but he's right" Stiles tells her. "He doesn't know" She says and he nods. "I know. Can you help us?" Stiles asks. She sighs in defeat before helping take the body.
