"I know I've been a jerk lately," I start as we cautiously followed the blood and mercury trail that led to the basement. "but all I ask is to keep her alive. Please."
"If we manage to save her, how are you gonna explain everything to her when the poor girl has nightmares every night?" She asked as she carefully stepped over the mercury puddle. "Are you going to be responsible for when she has to learn how to control herself and her powers?"
"Stiles did it with you, didn't he?" She doesn't say a word, most likely realizing that I had a point. "She doesn't know what she's doing. You can't blame her for that."
Before Malia could speak up, the sound of something being dragged causes us to pause in our steps right before we turned the corner.
I share a look with Malia and she nods before she flicked her wrists, her claws immediately replacing her nails.

We both turn the corner and not too far away was Tracy as she stood over with her hand on Ms. Martin's ankle who laid unconscious. Tracy locked eyes with us with a hiss, her eyes immediately changing to her Kanima eyes before she shoved Ms. Martin to the side.
"I'll get Ms. Martin to see if Tracy paralyzed her." I say and Malia nods, her face shifting into her werewolf look until she let out a growl.
Malia lunges to Tracy but I quickly avoid the fight and run over to Ms. Martin. I grab her arms and drag her to lean against the wall, seeing a slice mark across her stomach.
I place my hands on her stomach and inhale a deep breath, feeling the sparks travel across my arms into her stomach which emitted a white glow underneath my hands.
I felt the skin begin to stitch itself back up under my hands, but a loud crash causes me to lose focus and turn at the noise, seeing Malia unconscious as she laid underneath the knocked over shelves.
Tracy stalks her way over to the werecoyote but I quickly step in between and hold my hands up. "Tracy, enough! You gotta listen to me, okay?" She snarls and swipes her hand down but I jump back, avoiding the slice. "Please, I'm your best friend. I'm not exactly fond of Kanima's but for you, I'd make an exception. I don't want to hurt you!"
She growled again and tries to swipe her claws across once more but I grab hold of her wrist midair. She tries her other hand but I grab onto that as well, making sure she couldn't scratch me.
"I know you don't want to hurt me. I know you're still in there!" I shout and force her back to slam against the wall, earning a hiss to escape from her lips. "I'm not giving up on you! Tracy, you have to know that this isn't a dream!"
She manages to wriggle her hands free but swiftly turns us around so now that I was under her hold. She uses her arm to tightly press against my throat and I let out a choked gasp as she raised her hand.
