Chapter Fifty-Nine

💰 A Promise To Death 💰

"Lydia! Amara!" Malia said making them look over at her, "Look! I passed!" Malia said happily showing them her grades test making Amara smile proudly, "C-minus! Nice." Amara said and Malia smiled.

"Lydia's notes are great when they're not written in code." Malia said and the second she said that Coach walked up and set a graded test down that had an F on it making her frown. "Disappointed, Malia- profoundly disappointed." He said making Malia sigh looking over at Amara and Lydia, "I'll send you my notes." Lydia said.

Lydia turned back around and glanced up at the board that read "Networth at time if death" making her face fall slightly as they both started to get a bad feeling. "It's over. The computers are off. No more assassins. No more murders. No one's dying." Amara said when she noticed the look on Lydia's face.

"Not yet."

Amara sat on her bed writing notes while Lydia was looking through Amara's desk for a new highlighter. "What's this?" Lydia asked making Amara look up to see Lydia holding a small box making Amara's eyes widen slightly. "You're not supposed to look at that." Amara said and Lydia raised her eyebrows, "What is it?" She asked.

"Your birthday present, put it back." Amara said making Lydia smile at her, "You got me a birthday present?" Lydia asked and Amara shrugged. "Well yeah. I mean, your last birthday was a shit show so I figured a present might make this one better." Amara said before looking back down at her book while Lydia smiled softly at her.

"Can I open it early?" Lydia asked making Amara give her an amused look, "You're not gonna stop asking until I let you, huh?" Amara asked and Lydia just smiled making Amara sigh. "Go for it." Amara said and Lydia sat down next to her before opening the box to reveal simple heart shaped silver necklace.

"It's a locket." Amara said as Lydia pulled it out the box, "Is there already a picture in it?" Lydia asked and Amara nodded. "Open it." Amara said and Lydia opened it to find a picture of her and Amara on one side and a picture of Allison on the other side. "Allison actually helped me pick out the necklace but I changed the pictures after... you know." Amara said and Lydia smiled softly as she looked at the pictures.

"I love it." Lydia said and Amara smiled at her before grabbing the necklace. Amara moved some of Lydia's hair out of the way before putting the necklace around her neck. "There." Amara said, fixing Lydia's hair and Lydia smiled at her, "Thank you." She said before grabbing her notebook. Amara stared at her for a moment before smiling softly and going back to her notes.

"Everything's fine. I got a text from him this morning, and he said he might be a little late." Stiles said as Amara followed him and Liam into the locker room, "Well, how late is late? Is he always late? We're playing Davenford Prep again, and this time it's an actual game. He shouldn't be late!" Liam stressed and Coach turn to them.

"Who shouldn't be late?" He asked making the three if them look at him wide eyed and sighed. "Scott and Kira." Liam said and Amara nodded, "They might be slightly late." She said and Coach looked at them weird.

"Slightly late is still late. What are they doing?" He asked and Stiles squint slightly, "They're doing something that's going to make them slightly late.." Stiles said slowly. "What could Scott and Kira be doing right now that's more important than playing in the first game?" Coach asked.

It was quite for a few seconds as Stiles and Amara glanced at each other with raised eyebrows while Liam looked like an awkward little kid watching a movie with their parents when a sex scene comes on. "Coach, do you want to sit down and have a talk?" Amara asked making Coach furrow his brows.

A few minutes later the team was dressed and everyone was out on the field. "They're still not here." Liam said after glancing around making Amara sigh and sit down next to him, "Alright, what's actually going on? Are you nervous about the full moon? It's not for another twenty-four hours." Amara asked and Liam sighed and looked up at the moon.

"Liam, you're gonna be fine. Okay?...Just try not to kill anyone on the field." Stiles said shrugging making him look at them, "You guys aren't worried?" He asked and Stiles and Amara looked at each other. "Okay, I'm mildly concerned. Mildly." Stiles said and Amara chuckled as he pulled out his phone to text Scott.

"We're gonna lose without him."

"No, we're not! We can be just as good without Scott, okay? I've been practicing. Let me tell you something, I'm getting good- really good." Stiles said and Amara just raised her eyebrows and hummed slightly making Stiles shoot her a look.

The game hadn't even been going on for two minutes before Stiles started getting hit in the head with a ball and tripping over his own feet. About three Devenford Prep players trampled him making Amara sigh and put her head in her hands.

"I thought you said you were getting good?" Amara asked as he sat down next to her making him shoot her a look before calling Scott. Amara glanced back at the game and watched as Davenford scored another goal making her shake her head slightly.

Makena walked through the sewers with her gun and flashlight raised until she turned the corner where Argent was. "They're gone..." Argent said weakly and Makena put her gun away and quickly walked over to him, looking at the metal rod in his stomach.

"How long have you been like this?" Makena asked and Argent shook his head slightly, "I don't know... Might have blacked out a few times..." He said and she sighed softly. "Peter did this?" Makena asked and Argent furrowed his brows slightly, "You were following him?" He asked and Makena nodded.

"Parrish and I both have since he stuck his claw in the back of Meredith Walker's neck... I've also been keeping an eye on him since he came back." Makena said. "Listen to me- Kate's going after Scott. Peter and Kate. You've got to warn them." Argent said and Makena sighed and shook her head, "I can't, there's no service down here and I don't think I'm close enough for Amara to mentally hear me. Parrish knows I'm here so if he doesnt hear from me anytime soon he'll come looking." She said.

"Then just go..." Argent said and Makena gave him a look, "If I leave right now, you'll be dead by the time I get back. I'm getting you out of here."

💰

"All right. Neither of them are answering. I gotta go see what's going on." Stiles said as Liam ran over to them, "You're leaving? What are you going to tell Coach?" Liam asked as Stiles started to grab his stuff. They looked over at Coach to see him start having a slight mental breakdown.

"Let's just not tell him anything." Amara said and Stiles nodded in agreement before looking back at Liam, "Liam, you're gonna be okay. All right?" Stiles said patting Liam on the shoulder.

They walked over to Stilinski and Malia and started explaining everything, "What me to stay here if he shows up?" Malia asked and Amara nodded. "Please." She said and Malia nodded before Amara, Stiles and Stilinski walked off.

Makena's eyes turned completely white as she pulled on the medal rod until Argent started yelling out in pain. "Sorry! I'm sorry." Makena said as she stopped before sighing softly, "I can't do it myself. The strength spell isn't enough. It's not bending back, and it's not coming out of the wall." Makena said.

"Leave..." Argent said making Makena look at him, "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 that you've got and help me." Makena said and Argent shook his head slightly. "I've got nothing..." He mumbled weakly making Makena sigh, "Grab the bar, Argent." She said.

"I've got nothing left... Please, just go. Just go. You're running out of time." Argent said and Makena shook her head, "After everything you've lost, I know it may feel like you've got nothing left... But you know damn well I wouldn't be right now if I didn't care about you." Makena said before taking a deep breath.

"You need Adrenaline. And there's two ways to get it- fear and anger. And you're not the kind of guy who's afraid of anything, so you need to get angry. You need to get so angry that your brain lets loose every bit of adrenaline it has left." Makena said and Argent weakly shook his head.

"I'm too tired to be angry..."

"If Kate and Peter will kill Scott the second one of them gets the chance, you know that. And you know that if they do, Amara will feel it, and it'll be the worst pain she'll ever feel. And you know that if Allison was still here, she would be really angry. At least angry enough to try out more time to get the hell out of here. So, whatever trigger you need- if it's Allison, or your Kate, or Peter- use it." Makena said.

Argent looked up at her for a moment before grabbing the bar and nodding. Makena grabbed a tight hold in the bar and took a deep breath as her eyes went completely white. Argent screamed in pain as Makena started to pull the bar out. Once they got the bar out, Argent slumped against the wall while Makena pulled a small bottle out of her bag. "Here, drink this. It'll heal you, not completely but enough." Makena said as she helped him drink it.

"Makena!" Parrish called out before turning the corner, holding up his gun and flashlight. "Now you show up?" She asked, looking at him with exasperation.

"What the hell happened?" Stiles asked as he and his father and Amara walked into the loft. Furniture was smashed all over the place and glass littered the floor from the broken window and a few broken light bulbs. "It was supposed to be a date." Derek said as they glanced around.

"They were both here?" Stilinski asked, "And they're both gone." Braeden answered and Amara closed her eyes and took a deep breath before sighing angrily, "What is it?" Stiles asked. "Berserker... and Kate." She said and a second later Amara's phone rang. "Hey-" She started to say but Lydia cut her off.

"Scott's been taken." Lydia said over the phone and Amara sighed, "Scott and Kira. We just don't know where." Amara said. "Mexico. And, if you want to save his life, that's where you're going, too." Deaton said making them all glance at each other.

All of the sudden Amara gasped in pain and stumbled back making Stiles grab her arm. "What's wrong? Are you hurt?" Derek asked as he quickly walked over to his cousin who looked like she was in pain as she shook her head slightly.

"It's not me... It's Scott..."
