healing - chapter twenty one

I couldn't open my eyes, my whole body was hurting and my head was pounding. I have no idea of how much time I've been here. But I am aware of what is happening. I remember it. I remember when Peter bit me. I remember Stiles screaming. I remember the formal, dancing with Scott. I remember when he told me he loves me. I tried to move when I felt a hand holding mine, but I just couldn't. I have to. I need to. I need to move. I need to wake up.

Wake up, Cassie. Wake up!

My eyes shot open and I gasped. My vision was blurry so I blinked a few times.

"Cassie?" I heard Stiles' voice. "Cassie, how are you feeling? Are you okay? Do you feel any pain?"

"S-Stiles." I mumbled.

I could finally see my brother now, he let out a sigh and smiled.

"You're okay."

"What happened?"

"Well, after I brought you here, I told Allison's father that his sister, Kate, was the one who burned Derek's family. Then, we used that molotov cocktail that Lydia did that night at the school to kill Peter, but Derek ended but slashing his throat. But, before that, Peter actually killed Allison's aunt, Kate. Uh, Jackson was there too and I think Derek bit him."

"Wait, Derek killed Peter, so that means...." I weakly mumbled.

"Derek's an alpha now. And Allison knows that Scott is a werewolf." Stiles said. "She actually helped us there. Ah, dad is going to be so happy when he finds out that you woke up."

"What about Lydia?" I asked him, sitting up.

"She's still here, but I think she's going to be okay. Scott's crazy to see you. He had to leave to eat something, but he's probably coming back."

"Stiles, what about me?"

"Your body is healing slowly, like a normal person. Which means that you're not a werewolf." He sighs.

"Then what am I?" I asked in panic.

"We don't know yet. But you're going to be okay. Listen, we're going to take care of you." Stiles said, holding my hand. "Damn it, Cassie, don't you dare doing this to me again, okay? You scared the shit out of me."

"I'm sorry." I said. "I'm really sorry."

We heard a knock on the door and Scott got into the room, he smiled when he saw me.

"You woke up."

"I'm gonna leave you two alone." Stiles groaned, kissing my forehead and leaving the room.

Scott quickly moved, sitting next to me and grabbing my hand. "I was so worried about you. Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. It still hurts but I'm fine." I said, looking at him. "How are you?"

"Why are you asking me this?" He chuckled. "You're the one in a hospital bed."

"Because Stiles told me everything. Are you okay?" I asked again.

"I'm fine now." He mumbled, smiling at me, which made me blush. "Do you... Do you remember what happened... at the formal?"

"Yes, I do." I let out a sigh. "Why? Have you changed your mind? I mean, Allison found out and--"

"I talked to Allison." Scott cuts me. "I told her how I feel about you. She said that she likes me but that she noticed the way I acted around you. She came here to see you yesterday, I think she actually wants to talk to you." I nodded and he smiled. "And no, I didn't changed my mind. I've waited so long to finally say it. And I mean it, Cass. I'm in love with you. You're the only girl I want."
