Chapter 65: 60- It's okay

[Play song when it mentions]

AFTER WHAT KIRA HAD TOLD SCOTT, THE THREE WERE NOW MET UP WITH KIRA AT SCHOOL, RUNNING DOWN THE HALLS.

Meredith was at the piano room and that's where they were headed to. Coach was already in there with the doctor on the floor, grunting.

"Well?" They looked at Coach before they caught Meredith right in front of them. "Get her out of here."

Stiles grabbed Meredith as they quickly rushed out as quick as they could to get out of school, so that they wouldn't get caught from any other.

When they got out, they quickly ran to the Jeep and all got in. Kira walked to Scott's window that looked back to her. "I'll call you."

Scott agreed as she ran off as Hazel that sat next to Meredith, along with Stiles and Scott that were by the front turned to her.

"Okay. Where's Lydia?" Stiles asked when Meredith looked at them confused.

"Who's Lydia?" Hazel at that moment just wanted to smash her head against a window from getting irritated.

"You're kidding, right?" Hazel asked, trying her best to stay calm.

━─━────༺༻────━─━

"What are you doing here?" Scott asked their father that stood there next to a siting Isaac.

"I could ask you the same thing." Rafe said.

"Free period." Scott said.

"We're doing group study." Stiles tried to play it off.

"Who's she?" Rafe decided to ask directly not daring to say anything after Stiles answer.

Stiles looked down at her as he breathed. "She's my girlfriend." He placed an arm around her shoulders.

"You're not my type." Meredith suddenly said making Hazel look away to keep herself from getting caught.

"Well, obviously we have a lot to talk about." Stiles said. "We should maybe take this upstairs."

"He's my type." Meredith's eyes were fixated on Isaac as they noticed. Hazel rose a brow at that.

"Okay, Isaac can come too." Stiles sarcastically said as Isaac stood up and the teens walked up the stairs.

Scott was left with Rafe but Hazel didn't mind, still going after them. They walked up the stairs and into Scott's room.

Meredith was sat on Scott's bed as the three stood in front of her. They tried to make her remember who Lydia was by giving a few words to it or to recognize. "Lydia? You mean the red-haired girl."

"Yes! Yes! Good. Progress. Now all you got to do is tell us where she is." Stiles said.

"Okay." She said as the three stood there and waited for the answer they've been craving for most importantly. "If she tells me."

Their face fell at that and paused. "If... if she tells you?" Isaac asked as Meredith nodded. "Uh... can you ask her?"

"I already did." She smiled.

"Perfect. Perfect. What did she say?" Stiles asked.

"She said..." They waited for the right answer as they stood there quietly watching her. "she doesn't want to be found."

Hazel sighed and walked over to the window. "Yeah, we're just going to talk this out right now. Hazel, you look out for her."

Stiles and Isaac went to the bathroom and all the other two girls could make out was the whisper.

Hazel stared out the window as she exhaled. She was in deep thoughts as she looked over to Meredith that quietly sat there in the exact spot.

It was kinda creeping Hazel out why Meredith was the way she was. So... tense and weird. Hazel was snapped out of her thoughts when the boys arrived back to kneel in front of Meredith.

"Okay, just try to focus on the sounds around you. Just focus on the silence." Stiles said as Hazel arrived next to him.

"Listen to the silence." Isaac said.

"Focusing on the silence."

"Listening to the silence—"

"Okay, will you just let me handle this, Isaac." He looked over at him. "Please? I just— i have more experience with Banshees."

"Yeah. And mental patients." That made Hazel gape her mouth at surprise as she didn't know wether to stay shocked or laugh it out.

Stiles glared at him in response.

"Is anyone going to get that?" Meredith asked making Hazel look at her in confusion.

"Get what?" Stiles questioned.

"The phone."

"What phone?" Hazel asked.

Isaac looked down to Stiles. "The phone." He reached out his hand for Stiles' phone as Hazel thought how dumb both of them actually were.

Stiles looked down to his pocket as he pretended to realize it. "Oh, the phone." He snatched it out. "My phone? Yes." He placed it over his ear. "Hello?" Stiles let it go quiet for a second, as the acting was getting way more awkward. "Yes, she's— she's actually— she's sitting right here. It's for you." He passed his phone to her as Meredith placed it over her ear.

Hazel closed her eyes, only waiting for a 'There's no one on the phone' line but then Meredith pulled the phone away.

"They say 'Coup de foudre'."

"Coup de what?" Stiles asked in whisper. "Coup de... i think... Spanish?"

"French." A voice spoke as they turned around to see Scott by the doorway. "It's French."

━─━────༺༻────━─━

Hazel, Scott, Stiles and Isaac were in the Jeep, driving on their way to get to the location after what Meredith had informed them about since it was afternoon now.

"Hey, you okay?" Stiles asked as he checked over Scott that had been quiet.

"Yeah." Scott played it off which Hazel knew. "You don't have to worry about me."

"Alright, I'm gonna say it. You look like you're dying." Isaac spoke up as Hazel from beside him and Scott from the passenger seat sparred him a glance. "You're pale, and you're thin, and you look like you're getting worse." He said to Stiles. "We're all sitting here, thinking it. When we find the other you, is he gonna look like he's getting better?"

"What happens if he gets hurt?" Scott asked.

Stiles seemed silent at first before he asked, "What do you mean? Like, if he dies, then do I die?" He shook head head in a shrug. "I don't care. Just so long as no one else dies because of me. I remember everything I did, Scott. I remember pushing that sword into you. I remember twisting it."

"It wasn't you." Scott said.

"Yeah, but I remember it. You guys have to promise me. You can't let anyone else get hurt because of me." Stiles said as the other three nodded at each other in deal.

They arrived when they already saw Kira and Allison with their bows and arrows, walking through the gate while the others got out the Jeep.

They walked towards them as they looked around by the place they stood at and shared a look.

"We've done this before, guys." Scott said. "A couple weeks ago we were standing around just like this and we saved Malia." He glanced at Allison. "Remember?" She nodded. "That was a total stranger. This is Lydia."

"I'm here to save my best friend." Allison said as Hazel looked up to her and nodded when Allison looked over to her. "She's our best friend Hazel. What about you?"

Hazel stared at her and slightly exhaled before nodding again. "I'm here to save my best friend." Allison felt relieved as she nodded.

"I'm here to save mine." Scott joined.

"I just didn't feel like doing any homework." Isaac said as they all went silent at that and just stepped through the gate.

Scott and Stiles separated as the other four walked forward just to see Kira's mother with her two Oni standing right behind her.

"Kira, turn around and go home." Her mother stated as Allison grabbed her bow from behind. "Take your friends with you."

"I can't." Kira said. "When I looked at the game. I realized who I was actually playing." They stopped as they stood in front of her. "You."

Allison moved her bow up with her arrow aimed in it as she stared at Yukimura. "Call them off."

Yukimura grinned at that. "You think you could take them alive?" She challenged. "You think you could save them? I tried something like that seventy years ago. Your friend is gone."

"Are you sure?" Kira challenged and stepped forward. "Or if Stiles doesn't have to die. Maybe Rhys didn't have to die either."

The Oni moved their swords, ready to attack while Yukimura grinned at her daughter. "I see I'm no longer the Fox now, Kira. You are. But the Nogitsune is still my demon to bury." Then, her Oni disappeared.

Hazel noticed when Yukimura's face dropped and watched her move her hand up to see the fly in her hand lightning and fading away into shadow.

Yukimura looked up to her daughter and gasped when her face went worried. "Mom?"

"What's that?" Isaac asked. "What does it mean?"

"It means there's been a change in ownership." They turned around to see the Nogitsune as in Stiles suddenly standing there with his Oni behind him. "Now they belong to me."

The four became in position while Hazel's face formed as the Oni went in position with their swords.

They began fighting, Lira swinging her sword with the Oni's one. Issac that transformed was fighting one of them too and growled as he scarecrows every each of those that went for him.

Hazel felt a presence behind her as she quickly spun around and grabbed the Oni's neck as she hissed with her yellow eyes glowing and pushed the Oni to the ground.

Another appeared and tried to stab her but Hazel only grabbed it and twisted it around, letting the Oni released the sword as she threw it away and kicked the Oni making it fall on the ground.

"How do we stop him?" Isaac asked Yukimura that stood by the corner.

"You can't!" She called out.

That's until the Oni slid Isaac by the front over and over as he tried to keep fighting the Oni but it was no use since he was getting weaker.

Hazel suddenly felt a sharp sword sting through her side as she gasped but didn't make a sound.

The sword was pulled out as she fell on her knees and tried to breath ear but it was no use at first. Hazel thought she was going to heal but it was much worse. "You really thought I was going to let a Vampire heal?" The evil giggle filled her ears. "You're wrong."

Hazel breathed heavily as she grunted a bit, until her senses hit. But those weren't just senses that she usually would get.

It was senses of death.

Slowly, Hazel looked up to Allison that had her bow and arrow aimed at the Oni that was about to kill Isaac.

Hazel wished that she could stand up but her side was no use except that she could stand up carefully.

She clutched with her right hand onto her left side by the wound that was bleeding through her black shirt as she kept her eyes fixated on Allison that suddenly released her arrow that went right through the Oni's heart and green light appeared meaning that she got him.

The place started trembling as it stopped making everyone else pause as they looked up.

But that wasn't all when Hazel saw Allison grin proudly at that until another Oni launched towards Allison and stabbed its sword right into Allison's torso as blood splattered on the wall from behind her.

Hazel's eyes widened as she whispered in horror. "Allison." But then a loud Banshee yell was heard that Hazel knew was Lydia.

'ALLISON!!!'

Hazel noticed Scott by the cell that widened his eyes and quickly opened the cell door and hurried to Allison that was about to hit the cold floor. He caught her in his arms while the Nogitsune and his Oni disappeared, leaving them alone.

Hazel that stood five inches away from Scott and Allison messed up in his arms, watched in complete shook.

Scott held her while Kira rushed to her mother's arms and Isaac and Hazel watching along.

"Allison." Scott worriedly whispered to her as Allison began breathing heavily from the stab she just experienced.

"Did you— did you find her?" Allison whispered as she leaned her head against Scott's arm that was holding her. "Is she okay? Is Lydia safe?"

Hazel tried not to tear up at that when Allison still dared to ask about her best friend. One true pain.

Scott wiped a finger down her hair by the side of her face, reassuring her. "She's okay." He whispered.

"Yeah?"

"Yeah."

While Allison breathed heavily, Scott placed his hand on her bloody ones that was clutched onto her wound.

He tried to take her pain away which Hazel hoped but it was no use. "I— I can't—" He tried to do it again but it still was no use. "I can't take your pain."

Allison that now laid still there in his arms while staring up to the sky, drifted her eyes to Scott's. "It's because it doesn't hurt." She whispered.

Scott was confused as he slowly seemed to realize it as his voice shook. "No."

Allison was quiet for a moment as the two were lost to only look into each others eyes. Allison slowly smiled through emotions. "It's okay."

"Allison." Scott whispered, not wanting to accept the fact that she just said that.

She sobbed. "It's okay." Scott started to tear up as he looked at her bloody hand then back to her. "It's okay. It's perfect."

Hazel didn't realize her eyes stinging so bad with tears as she tried her best to not cry but it was too much for her to hear and watch it.

"I'm in the arms, of my first love." She hummed in sadness while Scott smiled at her saying that even though he was at his lowest right there. "The first person I've ever loved. The person I'll always love." She whispered the last part. "I love— I love you." Scott cried. "Scott. Scott McCall." Her fingers reached to touch his lips.

It was quiet for a few seconds before Scott broke into his feelings. "Don't. Please don't." He sniffled before he inhaled and looked back to her. "Allison, don't please."

Then, Allison remembered as she looked up to Scott. "You have to tell my dad. And you have to tell my dad. Tell him. Yet." She stuttered as her eyes went wide until she went completely still when suddenly and slowly her eyes closed.

Hazel closed her eyes as she sobbed in the inside and hung her head down, shaking her head at what she just witnessed.

"No!" Scott grabbed onto her as Allison's hand fell limp on the ground while Scott teared up as he gripped on Allison's hair and touched her body all over.

Hazel couldn't hold the quiet sob she had tried to hold in and felt a tear fall down the ground. She just lost a best friend.

What was worse for her, was her brother that was going to suffer for the rest of his life while his cries were heard so painfully and so deeply.

[Play Song]

Scott placed his palm on Allison's cheek as he kept sobbing, holding the love of his life in his arms with his pack watching him.

He moved his head up as he ran his finger down to her hair before leaning down and placing a deep and long kiss to her forehead, leaning over her lifeless one.

But that's when footsteps were heard that slowly faded when Hazel knew it was Chris behind them.

She didn't want to look but knew damn well that Chris realized at that moment that he lost everything and everyone.

Everyone was so quiet at that moment, they just stood in their exact spot, loss of words and thoughts.

Scott just stared down at the lifeless body of someone that used to be the love of his life. Someone so close.

And that's when Hazel knew...

Scott lost a part of him.

S/T: It's okay, some day, I'm gonna be with you.
