Why Would You Ever Kiss Me?

Meet Me In The Hallway

Scott's POV
I felt bad that this had to happen on Stassis birthday, but Derek told me he needed to speak with her.
I needed to tell her, but she looked so happy I didn't want to disrupt that. I'll tell her, just not right now.
I hadn't told Stiles yet either and it was killing me, but he wouldn't be able to contain himself and I know he was already nervous about giving Stassi the card, I couldn't add to that.

I still don't know much about the forbidden one that Derek talked about, but I do know that these attacks are becoming closer and closer together.
I also know that on the day it attacks, it attacks in threes. Like warning signs.
Derek said Stassi needed help on grasping her power and her transformation and I hope that's all he wants from her right now.

I walked behind her and Stiles on the way to chem, a little into my head.
I sat next to Stassi in class and she could tell something was on my mind.
"Hey, what's going on with you?" She asked putting her backpack down and taking a seat.
"Um, I hate telling you this on your birthday, or any day as a matter of fact, but Derek wants to talk to you. To help you with controlling your Wanheada." I said in a whisper as people walked by.
"When?" She asked her face kind of looking defeated.
"After school?" I said in almost a question.
"Okay." She said. Well shit. That was easy.
"How much more do you know about this thing?" She asked.
I shrugged my shoulders. "Not much. But I know when it attacks things happen on threes."
"Tres impetus." She whispered.
"Huh?"
"It's Latin. Three attacks." She said putting pieces together. "It's just a legend but it's supposed to be like a monster of the three Gods, Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades. It's warnings are with the weather, for Zeus, any body of water, for Poseidon, then death, to be sent to Hades." She said.
"How do you kill it?" I asked doubting she had the answer.
She shrugged. "Well, how do you kill a God?"

I had no idea. How do you kill an immortal God? Uhhh, you don't. I thought to myself.

Class started and I couldn't keep my mind off the question. She asked it as if she already had an idea, but she wouldn't share it.

Well, I thought to myself, how would these three Gods respond to the question 'How do you kill a God?'.

The bell rang and I took no notes. I'm no God, and my mom will definitely kill me if I fail this class.
"We have to go to Derek. Now!" I said to Stassi and she looked me in horror.
"I can't skip French!" She said.
"You're fluent, you can miss this once."
"My dad will kill me if he finds out."
"Then we gotta make sure he doesn't find out." I said taking her by the arm and trying to find Stiles.

"Woah hey!" He said as I rushed to him.
"We gotta go find Derek." I said to him.
"Now?"
"Yes now! Let's go!" I said taking both him and Stassi by the wrist and down the stairs.

We pushed through the crowd of oncoming teenage traffic and planned on going out through the side door.
"Genius!" Stassi said. "We're gonna sneak out on camera?" Pointing to the security camera pointing at the door.
"Can you mess with the electricity?" I asked in a panic.
"I don't know! Maybe!" She said scared.
"Well when you were at my house the lights flickered for a second." Stiles mentioned.
"I'm sorry for this.." I said before changing my eyes and looking into hers.
She groaned and her eyes changed to purple. She nearly collapsed holding onto the wall while Stiles and I held her up by her arms.
"Come on! Mess with the camera!" I said to her.
She moaned in like pain and she kind of winced and when she exhaled sharply, the camera kind of exploded.

"Nice." Stiles said as the pieces scattered around.
"Let's go." I said.
I picked Stassi up and slung her over my shoulder.
We ran across the lawn to the parking lot to Stiles' jeep.
I put Stassi in the passenger seat and climbed in the back.
"Hey! You're okay!" Stiles said to Stassi who was in and out of her Wanheada stage. ai felt bad doing that to her with no warning but it had to be done.

She held onto Stiles' hand as her breathe began to steady.
"Okay, ouch." Stiles said wincing.
I could hear her heart rate racing, but it didn't make sense. She was calming down why was her heart beating so fast?
Oh. I thought to myself and kind of laughed.
That's Stiles' heart rate I'm hearing.

"You do that again.." Stassi said weakly looking back at me "I will find the freshest batch of wolfsbane and I will shove it up your ass."
Stiles and I laughed as he drove to the woods.
We pulled up and parked on the side of the road.

We trekked through the woods and Stassi fell a bit behind.
"Come on keep up!" I said moving forward.
Stiles reached out for her hand and she smiled to him taking it and following me.
Stiles kind of has game. I'm just glad that he's spending his time with a girl who actually likes him, and not chasing someone who wouldn't give him the time of day.

We came across Dereks house and I called for him.
"Derek! Derek it's us come out!" The house creaked and Derek stood in the front porch.
"He touch's one perfect chocolate brown hair on her head, I'll kill him." Stiles whispered to me.
"Alright Hercules calm down."
"Derek! We may have found something. To defeat this thing!" I said as he came down the stairs and the leaves crunched underneath his weight.
"How do you kill a God?" I asked.
"Kill a God?" He asked annoyed.
"Yes and how do you think they would respond to the question? Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades."

"I think Zeus would laugh at the question. He would tell you, 'You can't kill a God. We're immortal. We're ageless. We will never die." He said and I listened to every word.
"Poseidon would tell you, 'You need to take his power away. They will be weak and defenseless but they wouldn't die."

"And Hades?" Stiles asked with Stassi at his hip.
"Hades would say, 'With another God. An immortal for an immortal. Era for an Era. A celestial being to strip another's soul."
"A God for a God." Stassi finished.
"Exactly." Derek said. "Why do you ask?"

"Well," Stassi said, "you said this thing does everything in threes. Tres impetus. It's supposed to stand for the three Gods, the brothers. First the weather, then some sort of water is disturbed, then death." She said.
"This thing is no God." Derek said unimpressed.
"No it's not. It's representation of the Gods. It carries the same strengths from the three. It does something in honor of each to then send them to Hades." She said.

"Well," Derek said, "Let's get to work." And he turned around and walked back into the house. "Have you ever met another person like her?" I asked following.
"There is no other like her."
"You got that right." Stiles said flirting. Uh maybe he doesn't have as much game as I thought.
We walking into the old burnt house and Derek stood in front of the staircase. He motioned his fingers for Stassi to come to him and she hesitantly walked to him letting go of Stiles.

"You ready?" Derek asked as she stood in front of him.
She looked so small in front of him. She was only about 5'1 and she was so skinny and bony that I was scared for her.
Stiles stood next to me and I could hear his heart beating.
"She'll be okay." I said to him.
"I just..." He started. "I just don't want anything bad to happen to her Scott I mean, you saw how she was after it happened at my house I-"
"I know." I said. He turned to me and he looked really concerned.
"She looks so small..." He said rubbing his hand over his mouth.
"I know. I was thinking the same thing." I said and he furrowed his eyebrows at me.
"You checking her out or something?" And I pushed him playfully finally getting a smile outta him.
"Can you two shut up?" Derek said from behind Stassi.

"Alright. Let's get this started." And with that Derek dipped his head down and his red eyes shinned and Stassi tensed up.

Here we go.
