"Kayla, Kaylz baby keep looking at me" He pleaded desperately, his voice wavering under the intense weight of so many heartbreaking emotions, his throat aching with deep sadness, "listen to my voice okay? Just listen to my voice and hold on"

She was trying. Oh god was she trying. But it was hard. His voice, craving reassurance, sounded echoey and far away, her eyes slipping shut. The pain was so overwhelming, so intense, that she had gone numb, the only feeling was Stiles' rapid heartbeat thundering against her back, his hot breath hyperventilating against her ear and his strong hands gripping hers tightly to press against the open wound that had torn her chest apart, warm blood bubbling out faster than they could stop it.

Her head was lolling on his shoulder as she tried to pull herself from the hazy cold darkness threatening to pull her down into its depths, holding onto his voice like an anchor. Through the blurriness she glanced down and all she could see was red. It was violent and overwhelming and oh so dangerous.

"S-Stiles... Y-Your c-c-clothes" her voice cracked, blood seeping into her throat, "b-blood... It... W-W-won't come-o-o-out" she abruptly cut her raspy muddled words off as she coughed, that horrible copper substance spilling into her mouth like poison.

"Shhhhh" he soothed, digging his hands against the gaping hole in her chest, his fingers slick with blood, "it's okay. Everything's okay, you're gonna be fine. Just listen to my voice Kaylz"

She had never felt so tired in her life, her body failing, each breath raspy and quick, her lungs aching desperately for air that never came.

God... She was so tired...

"No... No, no, no, no, no Kayla... Kaylz, look at me" his hand, wet with warm dark blood tilted her chin against his shoulder so she was staring up at him with wide panicked eyes, metallic blood silently choking her like a strong hand tightening around her windpipe, "keep looking at me Kaylz... That's it" he tried to praise but he sounded choked up, clear tears cascading down his cheeks and dripping off his jawline, "that's it, you're doing great Kaylz"

"S-Sti... S-S-Stiles... I lo-lo... l-lov..."

"I know" he hushed with a sob, cupping her cheek, "I know Kaylz but don't speak, you gotta save your energy" he whispered, those gentle fingers stroking her cheek to try and relax her, keep her comfortable, "just keep looking at me okay? Promise me you'll keep your eyes open"

Thick congealed blood continued to crawl up her windpipe, curling and tightening like a snake but she couldn't answer, she couldn't even move as her chest heaved and spasmed, bitter tasting blood pooling from her mouth and spilling down her chin, her entire body shaking from blood loss.

"It's okay, it's okay, everything's okay" Stiles soothed gently, using the sleeve of his shirt to wipe away the blood, those deep golden brown eyes full of panic and fear as he held her to his body, his eyelashes wet and sticking to his cheek, "you promised me you would stay alive... And you don't break your promises" he whimpered, "you're gonna be fine"

By this point all she could see through the darkness threatening to swallow her whole was his eyes. She was fixated on them, immersed in the pools of golden honey that calmed her down. She didn't feel scared anymore, she didn't feel much of anything. All she knew was he was holding her, cradling her limp body and she felt safe. Safer than she had felt in a long time. The agonising ripping pain that sent jolts of electricity surging through her body faded away into nothing.

The calm after the storm.

Except for one thing. Stiles was right.

She didn't break her promises and she didn't intend to break this one. Not now, not ever.
