Why? *Brett Talbot* [Book 1]

😟Da!😟

"Brett!" He looked at me and smiled.

"You're up." I smiled and nodded my head, he didn't waste any time kissing me.

"My Da is missing, Parish thinks he knows where he is. Imma go with him, be careful, keep an eye on Liam please."

"Yeah, be safe, please." I nodded my head and kissed him again. I ran to the parking lot and hopped in the car.

"You sure about this?" He nodded his head, we made our way to an abandoned place.

"I've been following him since the station." He said as we got out the car.

"You sure?"

"Definitely he's been here, more than once.. gotta be something, right?" I nodded, I followed him down the sewer.

"They're gone."

"Da!" I ran to him.

"How long have you been like this?" Parrish asked looking at the barbed wire.

"I don't know. Might have blacked out a few times."

"Peter Hale did this?"

"You were following him?"

"Every day since Meredith Walker."

"Listen to me. Kate's going after Scott. Peter and Kate. You've got to warn them."

"I can't. There's no service down here."

"Then just go."

"If we leave right now, you'll be dead by the time we get back. We're getting you out of here. Come on!" He started to pull on the wire to get it out. Da..

"Brett... please here me ... be safe..."

"You think he can hear you?" Chris asked me.

"I don't know... I hope."

"I haven't seen you look that happy in months.."

"People change you... for the better or worse.."

"Isaac was worse... Brett's better."

"Suprisingly, you're not the first person to say that." He put a small smile on his face, Parrish looked at us.

"You remind me of her." I knew he meant Allison.

"Coming from you, that means a lot." We tried a few more times.

"Sorry. I'm sorry. I can't do it myself. It's not bending back and it's not coming out of the wall."

"Leave."

"I can't do that either. I need you to help me. I know you're hurt and tired, but I need you to gather everything you've got and help me."

"I can't leave you da.."

"I've got nothing."

"You got me." He looked at me and failed to smile, I felt tears fall. "You still have me da.."

"Grab the bar, sir."

"I've got nothing left. Please, go. Just go. You're running out of time."

"You know what you need? Adrenaline. There's two ways to get it. Fear and anger. Since you don't look like a guy who's afraid of anything, you need to get angry. You need to get so angry that your brain lets loose every bit of adrenaline it has left."

"I'm too tired to be angry."

"Okay. I don't know much about you or what you've been through. But Lydia told me some of it. And I know about Allison. I know how she felt about Scott. And I think if she knew what was happening to him she'd be pretty angry. At least angry enough to try one more time to get the hell out of here. So whatever trigger you need, if it's Allison, or your sister, or Peter, use it. Use it right now." We pulled and got it out of the wall and to bend straight. But that's not just it... In the middle of pulling... Parrish's eyes turned a red orange... hellhound. Parrish took me back to the school. I ran to the locker room.

"You okay?" I asked as I walked into the room to see Brett there.

"We lost."

"But you're okay, right?" Brett asked him this time.

"Why'd you do that? Why'd you help me?" Brett... helping.. yay.

"Because of Scott. He saved me. He saved all of us. Do you know how lucky you are?"

"What do you mean?"

"Scott's a True Alpha. That means he didn't get his power because he was born with it. He didn't get it by stealing or killing someone. He earned it. You're not strong just because you can lift a lot of weight now. You're strong because you endure. Satomi calls it strength of character. You're lucky to have him."

"Brett..." He turned around. "Thank you. Thank you for helping Liam today. Just, thank you." He nodded his head.

"He needs you... he's lucky to have you too." I nodded. "I'm lucky to have you." I smiled and kissed him. "I'll wait outside."

"Then why isn't he here?" I looked at Li and walked over to him.

"Oh. That reminds me." Li looked at me. "I have something.. really important to tell you."

"No sweety you don't." I jumped at the sound of her voice, Kate.

"Kate."

"Hello, baby niece."

"What do you want from us?"

"I want a little bit of insight, Erza."

"To what?"

"Our family. The Argent family has been around for over 400 years. A powerful, wealthy, aristocratic family of werewolf hunters. But yet somehow, in less than a year, this great family is decimated by a teenage boy. So my question is simple. What the hell is so special about Scott McCall?"

"You want me?" I asked. "Take me."

"That's exatly what you're pathetic "brother" said. And this time I'm just taking you." She punched me... I looked up at her to see her fighting Li... before blacking out.

~~

"Er. Erza? Hey, wake up." I felt someone shaking me. I slowly opened my eyes.

"Kira?"

"Oh thank god, you're awake. Kate took him. She took Scott. She made him one of them."

"A berserker? Where are we?"

"The church in Mexico."

"The one that was destroyed by the earthquake?"

"Yeah... how'd you know?"

"I did my homework.... Liam. Brett. No."

"Hey, she said to let you know he's alive. He'll be okay. They're both ok. They'll come get us."

"Kira..."

"Yeah?"

"Alli gave her life for mine.. she knew.."

"What do you mean?"

"She told me before hand... whatever happens it wasn't my fault... I think she knew. I don't know why I never said anything.. I just didn't want to accept such words."

"Hey, it wasn't you're fault, Ali made that choice. She saved you."

"And I'm tired of people sacraficing themselves for me." I told her. "Erica... Boyd... Aiden... Ali."

"Hey, look at me. You are so much stronger than this, okay? That was their choice. I get it. You're tired of people wanting to choose your life before theirs... but isn't that what family does. We protect eachother with our lives. Rather we like it or not. Okay?"

"Okay... I hope Brett's fine."

"You really love that kid, huh?"

"Yeah.... I really do. He's different."

"That's always good, are."
