Forever and Always (Sciles)

Stiles POV

Even as more seconds tick by, I still don't feel any pain. I feel a little confused. Was that really it? Am I dead? I always thought it'd be more painful and slower than that, even for a quick death. I'm pulled out of my thoughts as I hear rapid breathing and someone starting to sob from above me. My eyes snap open to see Scott staring at me with tears running down his face, his whole body trembling. He looks so horrified and shocked, but more importantly, it looks like the spell on him has been broken. I glance to the side to see Scott's hand buried in the dirt right beside my head. I look back into Scott's eyes as I hear him having trouble to breathe properly as he quietly sobs uncontrollably. "I-I'm sorry... I'm so sorry... I c-can't believe that I almost k-killed you, I-I just can't..." Scott whispers shakily, his voice filled with fear, sadness and guilt. I breathe a massive sigh of relief and smile happily. "It's okay, Scotty. I'm okay. You're okay. We're okay. You're safe now. You're you again and that's all that matters. You're safe with me, I promise. I won't let anything bad happen to you." I assure him. Scott shifts out of his werewolf form and starts sobbing a little louder. "I will love you forever and always too, Stiles." Scott says between his sobs.

"I know." I reply kindly.

"Your voice and your words are what brought me back. You saved me. I couldn't have been set free without you." Scott tells me. He then collapses into my arms, exhausted and still very distraught. I guess breaking free of Samantha's spell took a lot out of him. I hug Scott tightly, telling him over and over again that everything is going to be okay. After a few moments, I feel Scott relax in my arms and his crying dies out. I sit up slowly, pulling up Scott too. I continue cradling him in my arms, but I turn him over so I can look down at his face. His eyes are closed and his breathing returns to normal. I guess he passed out from exhaustion. I hold him closer to me and kiss him softly on the forehead, hoping that he has a pleasant and peaceful dream. Tonight was such a close call. Too close. I never gave up on Scott though. I never lost hope, even when I thought that I was going to die. I'm just so glad that I have Scott back in my arms again. I don't want to let him go, afraid that I'll lose him forever if I do. I sit here in silence for a few more moments with Scott resting in my arms, head against my chest. I notice that his face is pale, but once he fully recovers, I'm sure that he'll regain color in his face again. I run my hand through Scott's soft, dark brown hair as I smile softly at my boyfriend. He looks really cute when he's asleep. Suddenly, I hear a strangled outraged cry that makes me jump a little. Thankfully, Scott doesn't stir. I look around me to find the source of noise. I hiss angrily as I see Samantha storming through the trees towards me.

"No! You just had to ruin everything, didn't you Stiles? That's what you're best at!" Samantha screeches at me angrily. I scowl at her and hold onto Scott protectively. "I ruined everything, huh? Sweetheart, I think you have it all backwards. I'm the one that just saved Scott from you, the most cold hearted person I have ever met. Do you know how much pain and torture you have been putting him through? Do you know how much you would make him suffer if he did kill me? Scott doesn't want to be with you, Samantha. Get that through your thick skull." I snap at her. She hisses in response.

"Leave. Scott. Alone." I add in a dangerous voice.

"Oh yeah? And who's going to stop me?" Samantha challenges me.

"I will stop you. I won't let you hurt Scott more than you already have." I tell her. She just laughs at me.

"He is supposed to love me! He's mine!" Samantha yells like a four year old throwing a tantrum, eyes glowing pale green for a second. I roll my eyes in annoyance. "You can't decide who he loves! Only Scott can do that! But I know for a fact that he doesn't love you. I think you know that too, but you're just too afraid to admit it. You want Scott to love you so badly that you were willing to change everything about Scott that made him who he is." I state matter of factly. I gently lie Scott on the ground before I get to my feet and stand in front of my boyfriend protectively. "You don't deserve him." Samantha snarls at me. She starts to throw her hand forward, attempting to use telekinesis on me, but I'm too quick for her. I throw my hand forward and send Samantha flying backwards and crashing into a tree. I rush over to her before she gets up. "I'm really against hitting girls, but I think I can make an exception for you, after all you have done to Scott and I. Besides, you're not really a girl. You're just a heartless monster." I say before I punch Samantha in the face as she starts to get back up. I watch as she falls to the ground again. I can't help but smirk slightly in satisfaction. She looks up at me and glares angrily. I concentrate and watch as a trail of ice runs up Samantha's leg. She screams in pain. "That's for trying to send an ice blast at me in the locker room." I hiss before I kick her in the guts. She groans in response.
