Soulmate Of A True Alpha
Scene 31

Stiles comes running to me and Noah

Stiles: What’s going on?!!? Any word from Scott and Kira??

Me: They’re… They’ve been captured…

He puts his hand on my shoulder and I have a flash. Like the night we went to Eichen housse… A series of blurred images in no order… My brother and Kira fighting the Wild Warriors and Kate, Kira lying in a cage full of bones, a church in ruins… Scott screaming his lungs out …. Everything goes back to normal and Stiles hugs me.

Stiles: It happened again? Did you see them?

Me: Yeah, but… They weren’t in Beaconhills, they were in a big ruined church, do you know where that is?

He’s coming off.

Stiles: Yeah… But it’s gonna be a long drive.

Later on.

I’m packing my suitcase and my dad comes into my room.

Me: Dad? What are you doing here?

He doesn’t answer me and looks at my suitcase

Dad: Are you leaving?

Me: Yes, but . We’re just going to pick up Scott and Kira in Mexico.

Dad: Mexico? What are they doing in Mexico at the end of the school year?

Me: A.. Date. That… go wrong

I’m not lying after all. He looks me in the eye like he always does when he wants to see if I’m lying.

Me: Dad, stop it and tell me what you’re doing here.

Dad: I wanted to see how you were, after you got sick at school, I had a ton of work and I wanted to see how you were.

I smile gently

Me: I’m fine, don’t worry.

He smiles at me and holds me close. I’m a bit surprised by his gesture because I’ve kind of forgotten about affection with him so it takes me a while to respond to his hug.

Stiles: Hannah we have to/ Oops. Sorry

We peel each other off and I grab my suitcase with one hand and Stiles’ with the other.

Dad: Are you two together?

Stiles: We really have to go! Bye, Agent McCall!

He pulls me down to get out but Liam’s at the door.

Stiles: I’m sorry, Liam, but you can’t come.

Liam: I want to help you.

Me: I know, Liam, but it’s a full moon and you still can’t control yourself.

Liam: Tie me up!

Stiles: You broke the chains last time… We should… dip you in carbonite.

I’m laughing. They’re never gonna stop talking about Stars Wars.

Liam: Do it! Where’s the… Carbonite?

No.. How dare he?

Stiles: You haven’t seen Stars Wars either?!

He blows

Stiles: There might be a way to get you…

later

Me: So you’re a police officer and a hunter?

Breaden: Exactly

Me: So cool!

She smiles. She’s a cool girl

Peter: Well, we’ve got to go now!

I’m looking at everyone who’s here but… Lydia hasn’t arrived yet.

Me: No. Not without Lydia.

Derek: Where is she?

Allison: Fetching a jacket from Kira’s locker. We’ve got her Katana but the smell isn’t strong enough.

Liam: Masson’s in the study. I can call him and ask him to check it out.

I’m looking at everyone. We can’t wait any longer.

Me: Okay. Call him…

During the drive.

Derek gives Liam the trisquel

Derek: It’s a very ancient object given to young beta’s to help them learn to control themselves.

Stiles tells me it’s a simple Chinese toy, so I’m holding back a laugh. Derek turns to us for support

Stiles: Yeah it’s super strong!

Me: Almost magical!

Liam looks at the trisquel completely fascinated but he starts to grunt and his eyes shine.

Derek: Listen to me Liam. The spirals represent us. They mean that we’re strong together and that we can fall apart if we’re alone.

Liam: Alfa, beta, omega.

Derek: That’s it, repeat the words and focus on each word and calm down.

Liam: Alfa… Beta…Omega…

He gets angrier and angrier and manages to rip off one of his handcuffs. I move back to my bench and press myself up against Stiles.

Stiles: I don’t think your self-control device is working too well!

Derek: Do you have a better idea?!!?

I remember something Scott said to me.

Me: I do! Liam!

He turns to me

Me: What are the three things you can’t hide?

He doesn’t answer and just breathes harder and harder.

Stiles: Liam! What are the three things you can’t hide!

Liam: The sun… The moon… The truth.

Me: That’s it. Keep going!

He repeats until he’s completely calm. I take a breath and sit back down on my bench, but I’m still holding Stiles’ hand.

Liam: Thank you… For a moment there I really thought I was going to kill you all…

Stiles: It would have killed the mood on the way back.

I smile and shake his hand. Good thing he’s here!
