Soulmate Of A True Alpha
Scene 70

I scream. A big weight falls on me like a pancake and I push it to the side of my bed.

Me: You’re up early this morning! What the hell!

Scott: Everyone’s downstairs! We’re waiting for you!

Me: What?!

I stand up. He could have woken me up first! I gasp as I get out of the covers, grab a pair of jeans and a sweatshirt before realising it’s… Stiles’ sweatshirt. I put it back down and grab a t-shirt from my dresser.

Me: Are you planning on staying long or can I change?

Scott: Ah! I’m going out!

He leaves, closing the door behind him. I smile and lock myself in the bathroom to wash my face and teeth and brush my hair.

I come out ready and go downstairs to join my friends in the kitchen.

Allison: Hannah!

She hugs me at the same time as Lydia and I smile again. I’ve really missed them. Of course I went to see them when I got back, but I spent far too much time away from them to miss their hugs.

We’re going to sit with Scott and Stiles in the living room.

Me: Did you replace anything?

Allison: My dad saw Deucalion with Theo.

Me: That’s the blind wolf, right?

Stiles: Yeah. He must want revenge for us destroying his pack.

Allison: We didn’t destroy it! He killed most of the pack and the twins let him loose on their own!

Me: His reasons aren’t our problem. Theo’s got a very powerful alfa and we’ve got nothing! We have to keep looking for a solution. Have you got anything on this beast?

Lydia: I’m working on it.

I nod. Allison’s phone rings. She looks up and lifts her head

Allison: I’ve got to go. I’ll see you at school tomorrow?

Scott: Library?

Allison nods. I think I saw her cheeks redden. I hope one day they can be together.

Lydia: I’m going too. See you soon!

We say goodbye and the two girls leave. I get up and head back to my room, but Stiles stops me.

Stiles: You’re going back up? You’re not… staying?

Me: Scott roused me from my sweet slumber so abruptly that I have to get back to my wonderful bed that’s pining for me!

I laugh and wave at him, go up to my room, collapse on my bed and fall fast asleep.

Later on

Me: Lydia? Speak slower, I can’t understand you!

Lydia: I’ve found the beast! She’s at school and …. there’s… there’s lots of bodies!

Me: Okay, we’re on our way, Lydia!

I hang up and call Allison

Allison: Yeah?

Me: The beast is in the office. Go get Liam and…

I feel myself waver. I’m having a vision. Parrish… he’s the one who can fight the beast. He’s the only one who can.

Me: And Parrish

Allison: Parrish?!

Me: Trust me! He can defeat the beast!

Allison: Right. I’m on my way to the station.

I hang up and tell Scott. We jump on the bike and head for the school.

To the building

The low wall at the front of the building has crashed into one of the corridors and several trees have been uprooted. We moved quietly along the rubble until we came upon the horror. A bus completely destroyed, immaculate with b***d and filled with the bodies of the beast’s victims. The beast emerges from behind the bus, roars and runs towards the forest. Parrish bursts into flames and runs towards it. I look at the bodies, completely shocked. There… there are so many… so many victims… without really knowing why, I run towards the bus, looking for survivors.

Me: Hey! It’s all right… there’s… someone…in here…

I lean towards the lady. Her stomach is covered in long, thick, bloody scratches, her leg is bleeding and seems to be broken and her face is covered in b***d. She looks at me and holds out her hand. I grab it without hesitation and lay her head on my lap. With my free hand, I place it on her wound, hoping to heal it, but nothing happens and when I look at the woman’s face, she’s dead. My heart breaks and I gently close her eyes.

I hear the police siren and step aside, letting the officers do their job.

Later

I look up at the ceiling of my room and sigh. That woman didn’t deserve to die. No-one on this bus deserved to die. The door opens and I stand up.

Me: Stiles?!

Stiles: Can I sit down?

I nod. How did he know I wasn’t okay? That’s not important. All that matters is that he’s here.

Stiles: I heard about… and I wanted to come and see how you were.

Forgetting our separation, the pain I felt when we broke up and all the tears I shed, I snuggle into his arms and k**s him. It doesn’t take long for his arms to pull me close, showing all the love we feel for each other. We end up snuggled up in my bed, one against the other, and I look at him.

Me: Will you be here when I wake up?

Stiles: I promise, Hannah.

I smile, k**s him and fall asleep.
