â¡Heartlessâ¡
Avalon watched in amusement as Malia punched the shit out of Theo over and over. "It's okay. You don't have to stop." Theo said breathlessly and Malia growled at him, "Trust me- I won't." She said before punching him again.
Scott went to step up and stop her but Avalon grabbed his shoulder and shook her head. "Just let her " She said and watched Malia punch Theo a few more times before sighing when Scott gave her a look. "Fine." She said and they walked over to Malia.
"Okay babe, that's good." Avalon said as she and Scott pulled Malia back making her growl at them. "Slow down, okay? He's going back into the ground." Scott said and Liam stepped forward, "You can't. He remembers Stiles." He said making Malia furiously turn to him.
"Scott remembers Stiles. Avalon, Lydia and I remember Stiles." She said and Liam sighed softly, "The Dread Doctors knew all about the Wild Hunt. He can help us." Liam said making Avalon scoff before flicking her brother's forehead. "Or, he could kill us. Wouldn't be the first time." She said, "He's my responsibility. Noshiko gave me the sword." Liam said and Theo sighed. "It's so awkward when Mom and Dad fight." He said making them look at him. "Shut up!" Malia, Liam, Scott and Avalon said at the same time and Hayden walked over.
"You both are right. If Theo tries anything, we'll send him back to the Skinwalkers. But, for right now-" She says but Scott cuts her off, "He goes back now." Scott said. "Except Liam's the one with the sword." Theo said making everyone look at him,
"Shut up!" They all yelled.
Scott grabbed Liam by the wrist and leads him into the living room to talk, leaving Avalon, Malia, Hayden, and Theo in the back room. Malia walks toward Theo, making Hayden to step between them to stop her. "Malia..." Hayden said slowly.
"Can you give Malia and I a second alone with Theo?" Avalon asked and Hayden raised her eyebrows, "Why?" She asked and Malia looked at her like it was obvious. "So we can kill him." She said, "Okay look. I know that there's mixed feelings all around. But I might be your only option to stop the Wild Hunt." He said making Avalon squint her eyes and think for a minute before humming.
"Yeah... I still want to see you dead." Avalon said and Malia nodded in agreement.
"I can put you back in the ground any time." Liam said as he stood in front of Theo holding Kira's sword. Theo looked at the sword and sighed softly, "You also need a transformer that can handle five billion joules of electricity. I know where to find one, and I can show you how it works. I'll tell you if Avalon and Malia promises not to kill me." Theo said making Malia growl under her breath while Avalon scoffed.
"They promise." Liam said making Avalon look at her brother crazy, "No we don't." She said and Malia nodded in agreement. "We're really gonna do this? Trust him?" Malia asked and Hayden shrugged, "You got a better idea?" She asked
"I've got an idea. It may not be better... But at least it's not him." Malia said before grabbing Avalon's hand and walking away.

"He has third degree burns over ninety-percent of his body. I should be telling you to say your goodbyes." Melissa said as she, Malia and Avalon stood around in the hospital. "It's Peter. I don't need to say goodbyes. I need to fix him so we can find out what he knows about the Wild Hunt." Malia said and Melissa raised her eyebrows.
"Remember who you're dealing with. Your father is a ruthless conman who always has a devious plan to hurt everyone around him. What happens when he gets up out of that bed? You got a plan of your own?" Melissa asked and Avalon sighed, "We have a plan. Don't know if it's devious." She said and Melissa nodded slightly.
"At least it's a plan." Melissa said making the girls smile before she led them down the hallway. They walked into a room to see Peter laying in a bed that was surrounded by plastic curtains to seal him away from the rest of the room.
"I can't promise this will work. I haven't dealt with this much burns before." Avalon said and Melissa held up a syringe, "That's why I have this to help you. Don't know how much it'll help though." She said and Malia shrugged slightly. "You said he was dying anyway. What does he have to lose?" Malia said and Avalon nodded slightly, "I can hear you. I'm not dead yet." Peter said making them look at him.
"Sadly." Avalon mumbled before they walked past the plastic curtains, "I think they put that there to protect me. Glad to see you're obeying hospital protocols." Peter said. "Your daughter and her girlfriend asked to treat you." Melissa said and Peter glanced at Malia and Avalon, "In exchange for what?" He asked. "Told you you needed a plan." Melissa said as Avalon walked around the bed, "Avalon helps you, you help us." Malia said.
"That's a bit open-ended. What if I don't agree to your conditions?" Peter said and Avalon shrugged slightly, "Then I speed up your death." Avalon said and Peter sighed, "So, what exactly do you know about our kind of medicine?" He asked looking at Melissa who held up the syringe. "I know about the Nine Herbs." She said before Avalon held her hand over Peter as her eyes flashed her golden yelled/fiery reddish-orange.
Red veins started to form on her arms as Peter gasped lightly before Avalon nodded at Melissa. Melissa uncapped the syringe before roughly stabbing it into Peter's chest and pushing down the plunger. Peter groaned in pain as his body started to spasm while green foam came from his mouth.
Melissa and Malia watched as Avalon closed her eyes while the red veins on her arms started to glow slightly and a slab of burned skin fell off of Peter's arm. "Think it's working?" Malia asked and Melissa shrugged slightly, "Should be. Looks painful enough." She said.
A few minutes later Malia and Melissa had Peter's arms around their shoulders as Avalon lead them to the elevator. They all walked into the elevator and Avalon pushed the button while Peter looked at Melissa.
"You know, we never did have that second date..." Peter said making Melissa and Malia both roll their eyes before dropping him.

"Take the next left, cut over to the highway, and then don't stop." Peter said as he sat in the passenger seat of Malia's car as she drove and Avalon sat in the backseat. "We have a deal. We're not leaving without Stiles." Malia said making Peter chuckle slightly, "You're so very loyal, Malia. And that is an overrated quality." He said making Malia give him a look before pulling into the woods.
"You know, I was in pretty bad shape when you found me. I don't really have a clear picture of where I was." Peter said as they got out. "I marked the territory." Malia said making Peter look at her weird while Avalon raised her eyebrows in amusement, "Visually. I marked it visually. But we didn't see where you came out." She said before grabbing Avalon's hand and walking making him follow them.
"It's a supernatural rift, girls, it's not the Golden Gate Bridge. I doubt we can even see it, let alone get through. This is a horrible waste of time." Peter said and Malia shrugged slightly, "You promised me. On your death bed." She said making him furrow his brows.
"I just saw a kid get burned alive trying to escape the Hunt! You try and save Stiles, he's gonna die the same way. Humans can't get through." He said and Avalon shrugged. "We'll find another way to get Stiles out." She said and Malia nodded in agreement, "But first, we have to get in." Malia said and he sighed.
"You have no self-preservation instincts! How are you my daughter?"
"I think you need to admit that you have an unhealthy attachment to Stiles." Peter said making Malia growl under her breath in frustration, "Would you please try to behave like a human?" Peter asked.
"I need Stiles for that." She said and he furrowed his brows, 'Why? Is be your human crutch?" He asked and she sighed softly. "He's my anchor." She said and he gasped sarcastically, "Admitting that right in front of your girlfriend. That must hurt." Peter said and Avalon rolled her eyes before turning to look at him while walking backwards.
"I'm aware you dont have the heart to really have an anchor but anchors don't have to be romantic. My brother is mine." Avalon said before turning back around and Peter sighed and rolled his eyes slightly. "Well, Avalon can be your new anchor. He's not coming back. He was hunted. He got caught." He said and Malia stopped and turned to him making Avalon stop.
"You don't believe that. You risked your life to bring us Stiles' keys." She said, "I risked my life to escape the Hunt. Not to reunite sentimental teenagers." He said and they started walking again. "You wanted us to know about Stiles which got us to know about Canaan. You were warning us." She said before slowing to a stop.
"This is where we found you." Malia said and Peter glanced around, "Like I said, there's nothing here." He said making Avalon look at him with raised eyebrows. "You're not even looking." Avalon said and he sighed, "You can't just poke around and expect to find a supernatural train station." He said before hearing the distant sound of horses galloping and neighing making him freeze and glance around.
"Do you hear that?" Peter asked and Avalon raised her eyebrows, "Is it them?" She asked and Peter nodded, "Yeah... And, judging by the sound, we don't have a lot of time." He said making her furrow her brows. "For what?" She asked and Peter turned to them, "For you two to run." He said.
"You're leaving me?" Malia asked, "I'm saving you two." He said and she shook her head slightly. "But if we can hear them, it must be close." Malia said and Peter shook his head, "There'll be another chance. Go now! Girls, run! Go!" He yelled and Avalon sighed and grabbed Malia's hand.
"Come on." Avalon said before pulling Malia away and they both started running.
