Chapter Six : Well, Well, Well

I stood leaning on a wall a little ways away from Scott and his father. I had no idea where Liam was but I knew Garret and Violet wouldn't try to go after him as well. I noticed the freshman standing behind a wall on the other side of Scott's father.

I couldn't wave him over because I watched Violet get dragged from the locker room. But as soon as they rounded the corn Scott and I walked over to the runt. "Where's Kira?"

"She took off.Stiles told her about the second part of the deadpool."

"Her Mom's on it." I realized.

"Everyone's on it." Liam snapped back.

"You're not." Scott reassured his Beta as Allison and Isaac made their way over.

"Not yet." Isaac spoke, receiving a slap from Allison and a gust of wind in his ear from me.

"No. No. Isaac's right. I mean there's still another third, right?" Scott seemed to zone out, doing that thing where he tilts his head trying to hear something. It seemed like Liam and Isaac were doing the same thing.

"What are they saying?" Allison asked as the three of them tilted their heads back.

"Scott's father is just proving he's a dick." Isaac said with a fake smile.

"AND they are gonna break into the lockers." Scott adds, defending his dad.

"Then we break into them first. Three of you got werewolf strength, one of you can melt a lock off, I like our odds."

"Okay, in that Case me and Allison will head to the girls locker room, see if Violet was hiding anything. The three of you check out Garret's locker."

Scott nodded as him, Isaac, and Liam took off down the hall. Allison and I pushed past the teams of players.

"Caity hurry up." Allison whispers as I reach Violet's locker. I place my hand on the lock lighting a flame till the tin composite melts away. "You find anything?" I bent down to where a black duffle bag was.

Slowly I unzip the thing, already smelling the like seven pounds of wolfsband in it. I started to dig around in the bag. Three different spices of wolfsbane, four sharpening tools. A pistol, with three loaded magazines, a jar with a clear liquid, and a bag of pulpe power. Which is probably more wolfsbane.

"You might want to see this yourself."

I groaned as I woke up, Lottie rolling me onto my side. The sun seeped through my windows as I fell off the bed. "Ow."

Lottie laughed, "Get dressed, if we let you sleep any longer we'll be late. We'll meet you downstairs."

I hobble off the floor and get dressed. A plain red tank top, black shorts, adidas all stars, and a jean jacket. (Side note: Isn't this what I wore in Stiles head?)

I descended the stairs expecting Lottie and the twins to be waiting with like half a bagel for me in the kitchen, but they were there. I rounded the corner of the downstairs hallway. I froze at what was in front of me. "Hi Caitlin. Is Caitlin? Sorry sometimes I just remember the number next to the name." Garret spoke with a spite.

I waved my hand causing Garret to fall to the floor. I tried to run back around the corner but my legs wouldn't move. I looked to my right where a line of water lined my hall. "Kanima venom. You're not gonna be moving for a long time." My body starts to shake as I fell on the floor, "Don't worry Caitlin. You're worth a lot of money, but you boyfriend's worth more, so I'm not gonna kill you. Well not yet." Garret touted before hitting my head to the floo and knocking me out.

~

"Caitlin!" I woke to Liam screaming my name. My body was covered in some sort of liquid.

"Please tell me that's just water."

"Yeah. Yeah what else would it be?"

"More Kanima venom." I explain when I see Liam's puzzled face, "It's a shapeshifter that creates this venom that paralyzes you. Where the hell are we?"

"Some sort of well."

Then I noticed the large blood stain on Liam's shirt, It was almost turning black Like the time on the bus with Scott headed to motel hell, "Why aren't you healing?"

"I'm- I'm not sure."

"Lift up your shirt." Liam did as I said. The cut was covered in black veins, slowly making their way up his body. "Wolfsbane. Look I don't know what type it is, which means I'm gonna have to burn it."

"That doesn't sound good. What happens if you don't?"

"It reaches your heart and you die."

"Okay yeah. You can burn it out."

"This is gonna hurt." I light my hand, "A lot." I started to move the flame around Liam's wound, paying close attention to his eyes as they shifted from blue to yellow, "You got to trust me Liam." Part of me knew that if they used yellow wolfsbane this would only stop the infection from spreading.

Liam let out a roar as I took my hand away. "Okay Liam listen to me, you're safe. Ish. There's no reason to wolf out." I tried as liam tried to fight his own shift from the pain. "Pain keeps you human." I mutter lighting a new flame and pressing it to his wrist. When Liam calmed down I helped him back up from the floor, "Sorry, it's just I don't feel like being mauled."

"You don't trust me?"

"I don't even trust Isaac when he gets that out of control. Come on, we got to find a way out of here." I grab one stone that was sticking out, remembering the dumb rock climbing classes from last year. Slowly I raise my foot to a different rock.

"Can't you like, fly?"

"No I can not fly." I yell back, my grip getting looser. I pain moved through my head as a set of images pasted over my mind. Scott on the phone with Garret, Lydia Lottie and Stiles with Parrish. Mason and Liam on a run. Violet getting taken from an armored car.

"CAITLIN!" Liam screamed.

"Ow." I moan sitting up from the water.

"What just happened?"

"I had a vision. Visions. The only idea I have is that we're near the nemoton, because now they don't just randomly come on."

"Mind telling me what the nemomton is?"

"Supernatural tree stump."

"Good to know. Look maybe you should just stay on the ground, I can try to climb up, get us help."

I huff out a breath, also spitting out a bit of water, "Yeah, maybe." Liam gave me half a smile before turning to a wall behind him, grabbing a stone that stuck out. I watched as he pulled his body up. I knew what I was about to do was a long shot, but It was all I had. "SCOTT! ISAAC! HELP!"

"I wouldn't bother Cait. I already tried."

"Liam watch-" Liam fell before I could warn him, "Your step." I swallowed a bit of spit before plac my hands back on the wall. I drag my body up about halfway till I slip, thankful I was still close enough that the water could break my fall. "Damn it." I already felt calluses on my hands as Liam and I tried again. Falling and failing.

"We're not getting anywhere Cait. Everytime we get a little bit farther we fail again."

"Then fail better." I took a few breaths in before scaling the wall again. "SCOTT!" Nothing. I sighed, placing my hands back on the stone.

"Cait, take a break. You look like your gonna fall apart."

"No." Liam sighed before also clinging to the stone walls. I felt my hand starting to slip again. "No. No." my left hand fell as I closed my eyes waiting for impact with the water. I let out a pained noise as my body splashed, creating a small wave. "Damn it. HELP! SOMEBODY HELP US!" I felt like Fiona in shrek, just screaming till I fell out of where I was stuck.

I let out a pant before repositioning my feet again. I stopped when I heard Liam punch a wall behind me. "Hey Liam. Look at me." The freshman turned to face me. "We're gonna be okay. I promise."

"How do you know that?"

"I can see the future, remember? and at the very least I know you get a girlfriend before you die." He let out a laugh.

"You're good at this."

"Good at what?"

"Control. I heard you and Isaac talk about it once. How you manage to control him on his first full moon. And Scott with his."

"I just wanna help. Come on, we can't just sit around forever." Liam nods as both of us face opposite walls again. Slowly I pull my body from the water, groans leaving my mouth everytime I hit a peeling blister. "SCOTT!" I scream again as Liam starts to cough. "Come on Liam you can do this. Just hold out a little bit longer. I looked up for the first time, the top of the well was only about 15 feet away. "Liam! Roar. Just try it." Liam let out a shaky breath before letting out more of a howl than a roar. But It would do. I pull my body up trying to catch a breath as I hear Liam's shoe slip. "Come on." I whisper to myself as my hand starts to slip.

Just as I can't hold on any longer, I felt a hand around my wrist. I looked up to see Isaac pulling my body up for me, till I.. well feel out of the well.I look to my left where Scott and Liam are, Chris and Allison Argent not far behind, "Took you guys long enough." I pant out falling back into Isaac.

"Don't ever do that again Caity." Isaac breathed out, wrapping me in a hug.

I let out a laugh, "I could really go for a nap." Scott and Isaac both laugh at that.

"Come on let's get you home."

"Scott, wait. Liam. Garret stabbed him with some kind of wolfsbane. I tried to burn it out but I don't think It works, because he's still not healing." Scott nodded, shifting his gaze to the passed out freshman in his lap.

Third Person POV

Scott Isaac Allison mr. Argent and Deaton stood around Caitlin and Liam as they laid passed out on two metal tables. Deaton grabbed a knife making a small cut in Liam's upper-chest releasing a puff of yellow smoke. Scott felt his beta for a fever.

"What about Cait?" Allison asked, pushing off the wall she was leaning on and walking over to her friend.

Deaton turned his head to look at her, "That's just exhausted she will be back to making fun of everyone's stupidity tomorrow."

Allison nodded. Scott let out a sigh, "I don't want to keep watching people die."

"What can we do about it?" Isaac asked his alpha, voice low.

"No one else dies. Everyone on that list. Everyone on that deadpool. It doesn't matter if they're wendigos, or witches, or werewolves, or whatever. I'm gonna save everyone."

"I'm with you 100 percent." The Argent girl spoke.

"I'm not sure the two of you have much choice in the matter."

"Your father's right Allison. That's a lot of burden to carry."

"Et pugnabit ut salvum te malum ut qui non eligere." Scott speks the laitan words, "It's something Cait always says. She told me once that it was her version of a code. I fight to save thee who did not choose to get hurt. I'm slowly starting to live by it. So I mean it, no one else dies."
