Stiles's P.O.V
Once Isaac was done threatening me, he joined the fight and I was left with babysitting duty. Lily looked incredibly ill and I was worried for her, the sooner the fight was done, the better for her.
"Hey, Stiles," Lily said panting slightly with the effort of talking. "You make a good Batman."
"Thanks," Stiles replied trying to force a smile considering the situation but something was confusing me about what Lily had just said. Things didn't add up in my head. There were only two people that I discussed anything to do with Batman with. Those people were Scott and Erica. "…Wait, how do you know about that?"
She pulled in two heavy breaths. "I don't know," She said and I could hear the honesty in her voice without even having to hear her heartbeat. "It's like I'm seeing your memories through your eyes." I looked down and saw that Lily was holding my hand limply. I gently slipped it from her grip and she frowned slightly.
"It stopped." She said in confusion and then opened her eyes. "Do whatever you just did again." I took hold of her hand and her eyes glowed like a werewolf's. In shock I let got again and scrabbled away from her.
"What the fu-?" Lily said and then went completely limp. I frowned, and shifted closer. I watched her chest and it didn't move. She was completely still.
"Lily?" I inquired with an anxious grimace. When she didn't respond to my voice I nudged her and her head lolled like she was made of jelly. Then I knew something was wrong. "Lily!"
Erica's P.O.V
As Jackson swiped at me, I narrowly avoided. Isaac was too busy with his little inhuman bitch to even hear me or Scott. Eventually, with the help of Stiles and Lily, he prided himself away and joined the fight. Just as I thought Jackson was going to take my head off, Isaac moved in front of him and pushed him backwards with all his might. Jackson barely stumbled.
Whilst everyone was busy with at least one opponent. I ripped the arrow from my side with a roar. I jumped into the air, using my claws, I held onto the walls and began to climb. When I was in the top corner between the ceiling and wall, I allowed myself to fall onto a hunter. He hit the ground and moaned as a cut began to bleed again, shouting obscenities.
I turned to him. His eyes burned with hate and disgust. I slashed at him and large cuts appeared on his torso. The guy stumbled backwards, swearing. I thought he'd given up but then he pulled out a knife rubbed in a purple powder. Fuck. I saw it too late and it shred through my cheek. I grabbed my face as searing pain raced through my veins. The man tried again but this time I took hold of his arm as the knife came down and twisted. He cried out and bone snapped. I put my boot on his throat and stamped.
Once I'd dispatched my opponent – if you could call a mindless, racist thug that – the fight was over quickly. There were only two people missing. Gerard and Jackson had taken off with Allison and her father, leaving behind the wounded and dead.
The Veterinarian came round moments later but didn't seem shocked or even surprised at the destruction done to his establishment. Before he could even ask Stiles began shouting for help with a limp girl lying still in his arms.
Isaac's P.O.V
When Stiles began screaming, my head snapped on him instinctively. Then I saw Lily. Then I saw my Lily. She was so still it was almost beautiful. I honed my hearing to listen for a sign of life; a heartbeat, a pulse, a… a- anything but nothing came back to me. My legs buckled and I didn't even feel my knees as they harshly contacted the ground. Erica came limping over to me and squatted despite the agony she was undoubtedly in she hugged me with a grimace.
"It'll be okay, the Vet will help her." Erica whispered and I thought I'd heard actual emotion in her voice but I couldn't be sure. If Erica wasn't such an ice princess I would have thought she'd actually meant it but you never knew with Erica.
"Put her on the table." The Vet said hoarsely and Stiles lay her gently on the examination table he usually used for animals but today he would have a more challenging patient.
Once Stiles had fully placed her down, I got to my feet and was on him within seconds. I grabbed him by the throat and lifted him, his back sliding against the wall. Stiles was choking, the air trapped in his lungs couldn't escape and I didn't care.
"I told you I would hold you responsible." I said squeezing tighter.
"Stop." A voice said planting a hand on my chest. I saw my feral eyes reflected in Stiles', burning yellow lights spurred by rage. I turned to the voice and saw Scott, canines sharp as shattered glass and the same sunshine eyes gleaming back at me. "The more time you spend on him, the less chance she has of survival."
I looked over to Lily, her silent frame covering the table and the Vet that was trying to get someone to explain and then I realized the only three people that could were us. I dropped Stiles and he fell in a spluttering mess. I moved over to the table.
"What happened in that classroom?" the Vet asked in a rush, he had begun CPR but it was taking no effect. "Well?!"
"She was electrocuted and it was kind of like she harnessed the power of the electricity," Scott explained it seemed that everyone – yes, even Erica – was staring at Lily in silent horror but no one was feeling the shock harder than me. "and she could control it."
"I have an idea," he said quickly pulling out a vial. "but it could be dangerous."
"Will it save her?" I pressured, if anything could save her then I would do it.
"It might," the Vet said, putting a pale pink liquid into a plunger, using gloves, he placed a needle at the end. "But this is for you Isaac and only you. This," he said giving me a crushed up powder. "is Vinculum or in Latin, the Bond. If you eat this, a part of your life essence will go into her and she won't die but be warned it comes with side effects. You'll be tied together by mind and soul. You'll be able to sense what each other think and feel each other's emotions. You'll fall recklessly, purely and endlessly in love with each other and you'll feel everything she will feel and like-wise. It's a big responsibility, Isaac." Every pair of eyes in the room had suddenly turned to me as I gawked at the powder. I didn't care whether the Vet thought that was too much responsibility. I loved her, I didn't care whether it had only been a day and whether people thought I was insane because you couldn't fall for someone in one day but I had. I loved her so much it hurt.
I swallowed it and the Vet gave me a weary smile. Carefully, he placed the needle into Lily's throat and pushed down on it. For a few seconds, I felt nothing then my chest began to twist painfully and I grabbed it with a yell. Lily's fingers twitched. I screamed as the pain grew, it felt as though someone was slowly freezing me to death from the inside out.
At a snail's pace Lily sat up and her beautiful brown eyes fluttered open. She looked right at me, her eyes melting my soul. Lily jumped from the table and took hold of my face in her still chilled hands and lifted my face to her lips. The kiss was brief but so full of lust and desire it was almost painful when she pulled away.
She kissed me again but it was nowhere near as deep just a simple brush of the lips.
Then the world went dark.
Lily's P.O.V
When Isaac blacked out, I struggled to stop his skull cracking against the floor. All my muscles still felt weak and out of place but all I'd known when I'd woken up is that I wanted Isaac so badly. I rubbed my aching head and looked from face to face. Dr. Deaton had only a thin smile for me whereas Stiles and Scott looked both shocked and awed and Erica… well, Erica looked half-intrigued, half-bored.
"What happened?" I slurred and lay down next to Isaac on the floor. I was surrounded by dead bodies, blood and brains that plastered the walls and the ground I lay on but shockingly I couldn't give a damn.
"You. Isaac. Hunters. Fight." Erica said in a slow voice as if I was too stupid or young to understand the words. I glared at her and she seemed surprised but not fazed. I tried to stand up but just toppled over landing, humiliatingly, on my ass. Scott came over and held out his hand which I graciously too. Once I was on my feet and everyone was gathered near the Vet he began to explain.
"I'm sure Scott will be happy to fill you in later but right now, Lily, we have something more important," he said. He moved to a draw and pulled out a bound, rotting leather book. "I think I know what you are."
I gave him and awed and thankful look and he opened the little book. He leafed through page after ancient page. His fingers finally came to land on a page titled: 'Adepts & Elementals'.
I whispered the two words to myself, fascinated by the old drawings and pictures of obscure people conjuring fire, water, air and- and lightning.
"You, Lily, are an Adept & Elemental or… as persecutors call you… a witch. At first I thought you were just an elemental being able to manipulate the Spirit Element but then Scott and Stiles told me you had superior strength and speed which is a leaning on Adept, that lead me to believe you were some sort of hybrid."
I leaned against the table taking it all in. I glanced down at the small book and asked if I could read the writing, it was in Spanish which I knew so I should be okay.
Adepts are mythical people able to use spells and charms. Almost all are born with superior strength, speed, agility and senses; some are born with the ability to morph into animals such as wolves, bears and wild cats. A few can even teleport and fly if the concentration is strong enough.
I breathed in a large breath and exhaled, my body was wobbling with excitement and anticipation as I read on.
Elementals are the opposite of Adepts and are almost completely normal. There only born power is the ability to manipulate a or some elements. The supernatural such as werewolves are compulsively drawn to both Elementals and Adepts because of the enhanced beauty and kindness.
I paused at 'compulsively drawn' and knew how true it was, the whole of today it was like I couldn't get away from Isaac and the rest of the time I was around Scott or Erica. Both supernatural. Both werewolves.
After what seemed like an eternity of waiting, I said. "So…" I sighed, looking from face to face who, unsurprisingly, were all staring at me with dueled expressions. "What do we do now?"
It looked as if everyone had their own motives for my powers but no one knew exactly what to do, everyone was too shell-shocked to react.
"Go home, Lily," the Vet said after no one responded, "Rest, heal and tomorrow you can discuss all of this later and you three boys have a championship tomorrow."
