Chapter 14

Silver watched as Scott ran off seeing Silver stumble back in the bus. Silver quickly ran out of the bus hoping to catch up to Scott but the tears blurring his vision he ran into his dad’s arms. “No, no, no.” Silver cried out.

“It’s all right…” Argent whispered holding Silver close to his chest. The boy sobbed to his father as he shook his head, trying to deny the moment. “No.” He muttered out. “You’re okay. You’re okay, Arthur.” Argent whispered to him.

🐺

“Why me? Why can’t I have one normal day?” Silver yelled as he and his sister comforted each other. After just telling Allison what happened between him and Scott, the girl was shocked but most of scared what this meant for her brother and herself.

“Your brother was easier to pack for since all he needed was a few t-shirts, flannels and sweaters. I don’t know how long you’ll be. Allison, you want me to pick out anything specific?” Victoria Argent asked her daughter walking into her room.

Allison didn’t answer instead decided to help her brother calm down. “Sweetheart?” Victoria called out. “Silver just saw his boyfriend turn into a Werewolf.” Allison told her voice filled with rage. “Allison.” Silver whispered hoping to calm her down.

“All right, I’ll grab some things myself.” Victoria chuckled ignoring everything her children were saying and feeling. Silver’s head popped up as Allison rushed over to quickly try and grab her phone when it beeped but their mother beat them to it. “Who was that?”  Allison questioned.

“Somebody named Jackson.” Victoria said moving the phone out of reach. “What are you going to do with him?” Silver asked quietly facing his mother. “That depends. We have a sort of moral code we follow, especially when they’re that young.” Victoria said folding some of Allison’s clothes.

Silver stood up rushing towards his mother, “Scott didn’t kill anybody. He couldn’t-”

“This is all part of a longer conversation.” Victoria interrupted him. “I wanna know now! Right now!” Silver screamed as his face turned red. “What you want right now doesn’t matter. What you need is to stay quiet. If I got everything I wanted, Silver it would be Michael here protecting the two of you! But you just had to find out! He went against his word! You’re catching a glimpse of something you are not quite ready to see, and there are others outside of this family who are not ready for you to see it. Staying quiet is the best protection. Do you understand?” 

“What do you mean with Michael? Did you-” Silver stopped talking as a slap was heard in the room making all three Argents go quiet. “Say it!” Victoria said sharply ignoring her son holding his cheek. “I understand.” Allison whispered as she tried to walk up to her brother but he pushed her off.

“Silver?” Victoria questioned. “I understand.” He hissed out leaving the room.

🐺

“Scott wouldn’t do this.” Silver whispered as he and Allison walked up to Lydia’s hospital room. “He wouldn’t. Why would he attack someone innocent? Why would he hurt Lydia?” Silver asked himself but mostly to try and convince himself and his sister.

Allison placed her hands on the window to Lydia’s hospital room and Silver could swear he could feel the anger wash over her. Silver finally looked at Lydia noticing her hooked on machines helping her and his heart broke.

Lydia is his friend, someone he wanted to protect, someone he opened up to. She was there for him and understand his pain but yet what could he do right now? The only thing he could do was watch her and swear to get revenge on who did this.

But he just wondered who it was?

Silver ran after his sister as she ran down to Kate’s car and hopped in the front seat making Silver get the back. “You two get it now? It’s what they do, and they can’t help it.” She told them.

“All of them?” Allison asked. “Even Scott.” Kate said as her eyes caught Silver’s in the rear view mirror. Silver shook his head as he narrowed his eyes at his aunt. “It’s not him.” Silver defended Scott.

“How do you know?” Allison asked her brother venom in her voice, “You heard mom, your boyfriends have always been out to get you.” Allison hissed out.

“Not Scott. I know it because I trust him and love him.” Silver said but everyone ignored him.

🐺

“He lied to you Silver. He played you and made you fall for him because he knew who you were.” Kate told him as she handed him his bow and a few arrows. “He made you a fool and saw how easily you trusted people who just called you a pretty face. He’s just like Michael and I promise you that I won’t protect this one. Not like I did with him.”

Silver gulped as he grabbed his bow and arrows from his aunt. “Don’t be the person they think you are.” Kate said kissing her nephew’s head. Silver nodded as he walked up to his sister and the two stood and watched as Derek and Scott ran just like Kate said they would.

Allison shot the first arrow hitting Derek’s arm making him fall down. “Now the leg.” Silver hesitates making Allison take the shot again hitting Derek’s leg.

“Flash-bolt, Silver.”

“Scott, your eyes!” Derek shouted as Silver’s arrow hits the tree behind them temporarily blind Scott. Silver looks away letting Derek and Scott run and head towards the Hale house. Silver walked up to Scott as he fell down on his feet and tears were falling out both of their eyes.

“Silver, I can explain.” Scott begged. “Stop lying. Please, just stop lying.” Silver said to him. “I was gonna tell you the truth at the formal. I was gonna tell you everything because everything that I said, everything that I did-”

“Was to protect me.” Silver interrupted as he lowered the bow, “Why can’t I believe you?” Silver cried out. “Thank god. Now shoot him before I have to shoot myself!” Kate groaned walking over to her nephew.

“You – you said we were just gonna catch them…” Allison asked as Silver shook his head and looked at Scott. “We did that. Now we’re gonna kill them.” Kate shot a bullet straight through Derek’s leg, “See? Not that hard.”

Kate sighed as she saw both twins looking at her, “I know that look. That’s the ‘You’re gonna have to do it yourself’ look.” She said. Kate pushed the twins out of the way as she took Silver’s place in front of Scott. “I love those brown eyes…” She said to him.

“Kate!”

Everyone looked up to see Argent rushing into the woods with his gun pointed at his sister. “I know what you did. Put the gun down.” He yelled at her. “I did what I was told to do.” Kate argued.

“No one asked you to murder innocent people! There were children in that house, ones who were human. Look at what you’re doing now! You’re holding a gun at sixteen year old boy with no proof he’s spilled human blood!”

Argent looked over catching his son looking heart broken, “We go by the code – “Nous chassons ceux qui nous chassent.””

“We hut those who hunt us.” Silver muttered as he ran over to Scott and helped him up as Allison went behind her dad. “Put the gun down… before I put you down.” Argent threatened. The door to the Hale house opens making everyone stare making the hunters point their guns at the door.

“Silver, get back.” Argent calls out as he stands in front of his daughter. “What is it?” Allison questions as Silver raises his bow, “It’s the Alpha.” He answers.

A quick figure runs by the group as everyone follows the sound of air moving, taunting them. Going around and around them, first it knocks out Argent, followed by Allison, Silver and Scott leaving Kate as the last one standing.

“Come on!” Kate yells into the woods, pointing her gun everywhere. Peter Hale comes up to next to her grabbing her arm eventually breaking her wrist. He grabs her neck as he throws onto the porch of the house before dragging her in.

“No! No!” Allison yells watching her aunt being dragged away. “Allison!” Silver calls out rushing after her. He walks up slowly behind her as he stares at Peter Hale holding his claws to Kate’s neck. “It was you.” Silver whispered.

“It was me.” Peter told him, “I can’t help but talk to a beautiful face, Silver. They really are beautiful Kate. They look just like you. She’s probably not as damaged but I see it in your nephew’s eyes. So I’m going to give you a chance to save them. Apologize.”

Kate only cries in response making both twins start to cry. “Say that you’re sorry for decimating my family, for leaving me burned and broken for six years. Say it, say it and I’ll let them live.” Peter says. “I’m sorry.” Kate whispers out.

Silver gasps as Allison falls into his arms as Peter tears out Kate’s throat. Silver watches as his aunt’s body falls to the floor with a thud and Allison pulls away to see Peter Hale staring at both twins.

“I don’t know about you Allison, Silver but that apology – didn’t sound very sincere.” Peter walks towards both of them but a growl makes everyone look over to see Scott and Derek in the house. “Come on.” Silver says pulling Allison out of the house.

As soon as the twins make it outside and to their dad, Scott is thrown out of the window. A honk is heard as everyone gets out of the car and Stiles throws the Molotov cocktail at Peter with him catching it. “Oh, damn.” Stiles says.

“Silver!” Scott yells throwing him the bow. Silver catches it as he shoots an arrow at the self-made bomb in the Alpha’s hand, causing the explosion. Everyone watches as Peter Hale goes up in flames as Jackson throws another one at him. Scott stops Peter from coming at Allison and Silver.

Peter stumbles off eventually turning back as Peter turns back to human. Silver rushes up to Scott as he slowly kneels down in front of him. He puts his fingers under Scott’s chin making the boy look up at him and Silver can finally see Scott as he was – a werewolf.

He leans forward connecting their lips in a slow and passionate kiss. “Why did you do that?” Scott asks as he shifted back to normal. “Because I love you.” Silver admits to him.

Everyone watches as Derek walks out of the Hale house to Peter’s body. “Wait! You said the cure comes from the one who bit you. Derek, if you do this, I’m dead. His father, his family– what am I supposed to do?” Scott screamed at him.

Silver looked up to see his dad pulling him back with his sister and Argent pulls his kids into a hug. “You’ve already decided…. I can smell it on you!” Peter said weakly. Derek lifts his hand up as he kills Peter with his claws.

“I’m the Alpha now.” Derek says looking at everyone with red eyes

🐺

“I’m scared.” Silver admits as he and Scott sit on the roof of Silver’s house. “Why?” Scott questions as Silver doesn’t tear his eyes away from the moon shinning down on them. “things are changing, Scott. My life as I know it is gone and people made choices for me. I don’t want to be that way anymore.” Silver admitted.

Scott pulled Silver closer to his chest kissing his neck, “Be the person that you want to be Silver. Show them that they named you Silver for a reason and that you are stronger than they realize.” Silver turns his head around with a smile.

“I’ll be okay if I have you Scott McCall.” He whispered before connecting their lips in a kiss.
