Only For You ▻ Scott McCall [3]

Malia and Veronica stood in the Coyote den in the woods while Malia held her deceased sister's doll in her hand. Veronica sniffed the air, only to smell Theo's scent. The two females turned around to see a black wolf enter the Coyote den. Malia seemed shocked by this while Veronica was unamused.

Suddenly, the wolf turned back into a human and it turned out to Theo, just as Veronica presumed. Of course, he was naked when he turned back, causing Veronica to look away, "How did you do that?" Malia asked shocked, "Only Veronica knows how to do that."

"Do you want to learn?" Theo questioned curiously as he walked closer to the two girls, "I can show you."

"You're showing us plenty right now, Theodore." Veronica retorted with an attitude.

"I got nothing to hide," Theo told her as he walked out of the shadows, revealing himself even more.

"And we are?" Malia asked him, a curiously look on her face.

"Did you guys tell Scott you're planning to kill your mother together," Theo questioned and Veronica rolled her eyes, "Sorry, I mean step-mother in V's case," he corrected himself, "Don't worry. I'm not judging you guys. I want to help."

"Why?" Malia replied in a calm tone.

"Because I know Scott won't," Theo told them, "I'm trying to help all of you. If Scott can't do it, then someone else needs to take the lead. Usually, that person is you, Veronica, but you seemed to be doing nothing," he explained, "You know they're moving Hayden to the hospital, right?" He asked and both females shook their heads, "But Hayden's still a Chimera, and there's three more we haven't found yet, and they're still dangerous. They need help. They need the two of you."

On the under-construction fourth floor of the hospital, bags of Donor Marrow laid in a bloody mess on the floor. There were slurping sounds coming from afar as Malia and Veronica walked in. The lock from the room where the two females heard the growls were twisted and broken on the floor near the bags.

A figure stood behind the tarp. It was a Chimera. The chimera had a large bony spike sticking out of the back of his hand and another, shorter spike coming from his wrist. He slurped on a bag of marrow as he stares at Malia and Veronica with deep-set eyes.

Suddenly, she got up and the bag slipped from his lips, landing on the floor. He growled and runs for both girls, who got ready to fight him.

Veronica roared out, glowing her red eyes with her fangs and claws bared. As the two females began to fight him, the chimera tried to take a punch at Malia. Veronica growled, grabbing his arm and twisting it as he pinned him to the wall.

He suddenly grabbed her by the neck and pushed to the ground before Malia began to fight him. Malia punched him as hard as she could, causing him to flip over. The Chimera soon got up off the floor and began to fight him. Veronica held him back by the arms as Malia swung punches at him.

The Chimera soon got out of Veronica grip after slashing her and got ready to punch Malia, only to have an electricity bullet suddenly pierce itself into his body.

Veronica looked up shocked when she saw that it was Braden who had come to their aid. The Chimera soon ran for his life, not wanting to be killed, "What the hell was that?" Braeden asked her shocked.
