《The Monster Inside ➺ Scott. M》Chapter 30
Advertisement
Astrid woke up on Scott's bed with a loud gasp. Her chest still hurt a bit, her heart was ripped out, after all. Scott quickly sat next to her when he heard her gasp, brushing her hair out of her face.
"You Okay?" He asked as she sat up, sitting next to him.
"I'm fine" she whispered. He smiled at her softly and gave her a gentle, full of passion kiss.
He leaned his forehead on hers, staring into her eyes as he spoke. "I called your brother" Astrid pulled away, her eyes wide open.
"When? How?" She asked, taking his hands in hers.
"I called him from your phone after Deaton poisoned the nogitsune." He answered, still staring into her eyes. "I asked how long it'll take for you to wake up".
"Did he threaten you?" Astrid asked concerned. "Why am I even asking. Of course he did." Astrid sighed. "What did he say?"
"That if he ever sees me again, he'll kill me and he won't care whether you'll be mad at him or not" he answered. "He was going to come back but your sister stopped him." He hugged Astrid.
"Where's Stiles?" Astrid asked.
"He um... he's going stay in Eichen House for 3 days." He told the blonde vampire.
"Why?"
"For his own safety" Scott smiled.
"I guess that makes sense. Can we go to mine? I want to change my clothes" Astrid asked and Scott nodded, standing up. Astrid also stood up and they left the house, heading to Astrid's mansion.
They both walked inside the Mansion, walking in slowly. "Are you Okay? You seem... weak" Scott pointed out.
"I'm just hungry" she said as she walked into the kitchen, opening the fridge and taking out a blood bag. She began drinking it when Scott walked in. He stopped when he saw her drinking, he still wasn't used to it. "Sorry you had to see that" she apologized, throwing the empty blood bag it the bin.
"It's fine, I'm getting used to it" he smiled. Astrid smiled back and walked past him. She stopped when she saw his sad expression.
"Scott?" She asked but he only replied with a 'hmm?'. "Are you Okay?"
"Yeah it's just..." He started and Astrid walked towards him, staring right into his sad eyes. "Stiles. He's there alone. What if something happens to him? I just can't stop thinking about it" he explained.
"Well..." Astrid said, pretending to stroke her non existent beard which made Scott smile. "How about we take your mind off of it?" She asked, tilting her head slightly.
"How?" He asked and Astrid bit her lip as she moved closer to his ear to whisper "want to help me take a shower?" She asked. Scott's cheeks turned red as he gulped loudly.
"Y-yes." He stuttered. Astrid found that really adorable and she moved away. She grabbed his hand and walked with him to the bathroom.
---------------------
They were both awoken by Scott's phone ringing. She was wrapped in his arms as they laid naked in her bed. She could feel his chest slightly moving against her back as he breathed. "Just ignore it" Astrid muttered, still tired. The phone stopped ringing and they both smiled.

The phone then rang again which made Astrid release a frustrated groan. Scott sat up and answered the phone.
"Hey, Allison" he said. Astrid also sat up and hugged Scott from behind, her arms wrapping around his torso and her head laid on his back. He stroked her arms as he talked with Allison.
"Astrid?" He said after he ended the call.
"Hmm?"
"We have to go to Allison's. She needs our help" he told her and she rolled her eyes, unwrapping her arms from his torso.
She vamp sped to the closet and quickly put on some undergarments, black jeans, a white shirt and a denim Jacket. She put her hair up in a messy ponytail and put on some black socks.
"That was quick" Scott smiled, still sitting on the bed.
"I'll go downstairs and make you a sandwich while you change. Okay?" She asked and he smiled.
"Okay" he replied, smiling from ear to ear. Astrid leaned down and pecked his lips before leaving the room.
----------------
After Scott ate, the two headed to Allison's apartment. They arrived there at the same time as Ethan and Aiden. Allison opened the door and instantly began speaking.
"My father said all the Katashi evidence is being moved" the four walked in, following Allison as she walked through her apartment. "To a federal lockup by an armoured car tonight. Probably within the next few hours." They walked towards Lydia at the end of the hallway and Aiden spoke.
"We're going to rob an armoured car?" Aiden asked.
"Well, we're going to try" Lydia answered. "Are you feeling better, Astrid?" Lydia asked.
"What do you think, Lydia? Would you feel better with or without a heart?" She asked, rolling her eyes at the ginger.
----------------
"This is a really bad idea" Scott said after hearing the plan about how to rob the armoured car.
"It's not that bad" Lydia said.
"It's a terrible plan" Astrid muttered, looking at her nails which were painted black.
"None of us know the route they're going to take" Lydia said as they all stood in Chris Argents' office. "If Allison can get one of her dad's GPS trackers on the armoured car, then we can follow it."
"So when he gets here..." Allison said, pointing at Roosevelt bridge on a map on Chris' desk.
"We attack them?" Aiden asked.
"No." Lydia told him. "Your bikes will be in the middle of the road, looking like you guys got into an accident" lydia added. "And when the driver gets out to help..."
"We attack him?" Aiden asked again.
"No" Lydia and Allison said at the same time.
"You'll distract him" Lydia said. "And Scott will break open the back door."
"I hope" Scott said.
"I can do that if you won't be able to." Astrid said. "I'm stronger than all of you anyway" Astrid smiled.
"And you'll get Katashi's finger." Lydia told Ethan.
"It's not his actual finger, is it?" Ethan asked.
"You are so out of our league" Lydia sighed.

"Why aren't we just going to stilinski for help?" Ethan asked.
"Beacause if he gets caught, then It's the sheriff tempering with federal evidence" Scott explained.
"And I think he's not exactly in a mood to help us or anyone right now. I mean, his son is in a psychiatric hospital." Astrid added. "Let's leave the poor man alone. He's been through enough for one night."
"Guys, this is going to work." Allison said optimistically. "We can do this. We're losing Stiles. My dad's in jail for murder. We need to do this."
-------------
"What are you doing here?" Scott asked when kira knocked on his door. Astrid stood behind him, watching kira with an annoyed look. She definitely didn't like the kitsune.
"I want to help" kira said as she walked in and Scott closed the door.
"I'm not sure that's a good idea." Scott told her.
"Kira, you literally just found out what you are. It's too much for you, love" Astrid pointed out.
"Okay, but I've been practicing." Kira said happily and she opened her bag.
"Practicing What?" Scott asked.
"I've been picking this us really fast." Kira said, excited.
"Just like every other kitsune." Astrid rolled her eyes, already knowing that she's talking about her sword.
Kira took out her sword, almost slicing off Scott's head but Astrid grabbed the sword.
"Sorry" kira apologised as she moved the sword. Blood ran down Astrid's hand but the wound healed quickly.
"Are you trying to kill him, you bloody moron?!" Astrid shouted, scaring the teenager.
"Astrid." Scott put his hand on her shoulder, calming her down. "Calm down." he smiled.
"Okay, so" kira said as she showed them some tricks she could do with the sword. Astrid stared at her with a blank expression as she's seen better swordsmen back in her days.
"I've seen better" Astrid sighed.
"Okay. You're coming." Scott told her, amazed.
"What?" Astrid asked, eyebrows furrowed and an annoyed expression on her face. "You can't be serious. She almost killed you a second ago." Astrid complained.
"Just give me a chance, miss Mikaelson. Please" she begged.
"Fine... but don't call me that again." She shook her head and walked away from the two.
--------------
Allison, Scott and Astrid watched kira run towards the armoured mini bus with a GPS in her hand. She managed to put in on the bus, she smiled. Her smile faded as soon as a door nearby opened and an officer walked towards the bus.
"For fucks sake" Astrid said through gritted teeth as she watched kira hide behind the mini bus. The officer took out his gun and Astrid got up, running towards him.
"What the hell are you doing?" Scott questioned.
"Hey, officer" Astrid smiled seductively at the man, leaning on the mini bus.
"Miss. You have to lea-" the back doors of the mini bus opened, pushing Astrid away. She landed on the ground and groaned. A huge man got out of the bus and knocked the officer out.
Astrid got back up and stared at the man, annoyed. "Not cool, man. Not cool" Astrid said, pointing at the man, her left eye twitching. "Well... I didn't open the door but at least I was near it when it was opened" she muttered, remembering that either she or Scott were meant to open the door.
"Sorry, lady" he said in a really deep voice as he took out a silver finger from a white envelope.
"We need that finger" Scott said as he walked towards Astrid. Allison standing next to him, aiming a crossbow at the man.
"Why should I give it to you?" The man asked.
"There's a briefcase in there with $150,000 in it." Allison said.
"The scroll inside the prosthetic finger is worth 3 million" the man said.
"Give me the finger" Scott said once again.
Kira jumped at the man from the roof of the mini bus. The man didn't even flinch when she landed on him and he threw her on the ground.
The man's eyes turned blue with rage. Astrid walked closer to him, still 4 meters away from him. She showed him her vampire and werewolf face merged. He gulped loudly.
"A hybrid" the man said fascinated yet terrified at the same time.
"Tribrid" she smiled as she clicked her fingers, the metal finger landing in in her hand. She clicked once again and the man fell on the ground.
"What did you do to him?" Kira asked, getting up off the ground.
"Knocked him out." Astrid smiled as she gave Allison the silver finger.
Ethan and Aiden walked towards the four and glared at Astrid, clearly annoyed.
"What?" She asked.
"Seriously? You took our fun away from us" Aiden said annoyed. "We wanted at least a little fight but you knocked the guy out right away" he complained.
"Stop complaining" she told him. "You can finish the job and kill him if you want. I don't care" Astrid told the twins.
"No. You're not killing anyone. We're here to save a life. Not end one" Scott told the twins.
--------------
Astrid and Scott stood in Deaton's office while he read the scroll which was inside the silver finger.
"There isn't much here, unfortunately" Deaton told them.
"Does it say anything?" Scott asked.
"My Japanese isn't great" Deaton told the two.
"I'm pretty good at it" Astrid smiled and Deaton gave her the scroll. "It says that one method of expelling a nogitsune is to change the body of the host" she told them after she read the Japanese writing in the scroll.
"Change the body?" Scott asked confused.
"Which begs the question, how do we change Stiles' body?" Deaton asked.
"By turning him into a werewolf..." Scott said.
"Or a vampire" Deaton added.
