Stiles had ran into the hospital room, blood covering his face. I turned to face him. "What happened? Are you okay?" I asked franticly. I pushed myself up before rushing towards him and looking at his injuries.

"I'm fine." Stiles assured me, "I'm fine."

"I should've been there." I declared.

Stiles removed my hand from his face before narrowing his eyes at someone who stood in the doorway. I turned around to see that it was Theo. I looked back and forth in between the two of them and there was certainly some tension.

"What happened?" I demanded.

"Theo killed someone." Stiles declared.

"Stiles." Theo hissed at him angrily.

"Who?" I asked Stiles.

"A chimera." Stiles stated.

"Where's the body?" I asked Stiles.

"I'm going to take it over to my father." Stiles said. Theo glared at him. "I just thought you should know."

"Guess you've learned your lesson, huh?" I said over at Stiles. I turned over to Theo. "Even though it was self defense, if you kill somebody else, you won't have to worry about Scott."

"I told you not to tell her." Theo hissed at Stiles.

"Well, I don't really care about what you have to say." Stiles snapped at him. "I trust her."

I looked at Theo confused. Stiles turned to face me with a softer expression. "I'm going to go take him to the animal clinic. Will you be okay?"

"Yeah, I'll meet you there." I said.

Stiles looked in between Theo and I before deciding that it was his time to leave. I grabbed a bandage before wrapping it around my burned hand.

"Here, let me help." Theo offered.

I shrugged as I sat down and he sat down across from me. He started wrapping my hands in the bandage and I was just hoping that I would heal already.

"Theo, why didn't you want Stiles to tell me?" I said confused.

He looked up at me. "I just didn't want you to hate me."

"Why would I hate you?" I said confused, "You were protecting Stiles."

"What about me?" Theo asked.

"What about you?" I said.

"Were you worried about me?" Theo asked.

"Well, my sister trusts you and she doesn't trust a lot of people." I joked.

"Is that the only reason?" Theo asked sadly.

"What do you think?" I asked him.

Theo breathed heavily as he glanced down at my lips. He grabbed my arm softly, sending a shiver up my spine. He brought his other hand closer to my face. He pushed back a strand of my hair. Our lips collided and my tongue found his. I kissed him back with the same amount of want and need. It felt as if sparks ran through my body. His hand wrapped around my waist as his other hand gripped my cheek. I stepped out of the kiss and he stared at me.

"Sorry." Theo said, "I shouldn't have just jumped on you like that."

I kissed him, cutting him off.

"Or maybe I should've." Theo laughed.

"Maybe." I smiled.

"We should go." I said, "I told Stiles I'd meet him at the animal clinic."
