AN: Hey all! So here it is, night school! I know plenty of you are going to be happy to know that I tried to go into a POV, so this is Rachel's POV! Also shout out to my beta Deanlover27! You are amazing, thank for the encouragement for writing in POV!
Rachel's POV:
When I was ten my mom decided that it would be a good idea to go to a support group for people with terminal illness. I bitched and moaned, not getting the point of going because although I was considered terminal, they knew it wouldn't be for a pretty long time. But, to make her happy I went. While I was there I met a girl, her name was Keland and her and I shared the same illness. We quickly became friends and hung out a lot. It was nice to have someone to talk to who understood, who got it when you talked about how you hated having to wake up with a breathing tube because you felt like you were choking and for them to actually understand and not just sympathize with you.
Keland and I would hang out, text, Skype, visit each other in the hospital and we went to each other's appointments. She was my best friend.
One night at a sleepover she was having trouble breathing. We did everything we could, but she died, right in front of me. That was the worst night of my life, well until now.

Blood, that's all I saw, was blood. He was bleeding, he was dying, he was dead. Stiles was dragging me into the school. Everything was so muffled. They were locking the doors, Stiles was yelling at Scott. I was sitting on the floor.
"Rachel, Rachel! We have to get up and run."
"Scott, she's in shock, and she can barely walk without being winded." Everything started to fade when I felt the ground beneath me disappear.
We were somewhere else when I came to; I started to look around noticing we were in the locker room.
"Hey, you with us?" Stiles asked crouching down in front of me. I could only nod. Stiles gave me a sympathetic look while placing his hand on the side of my face. "You'll be okay." He said, how could I be okay. Derek was dead, he was gone, and why was this happening. What did the alpha want?
While they were talking we heard some noises, thinking quickly we got into the lockers. My tank barely fit in with me but we managed. When I heard the janitor open up Stiles locker and him scream, I almost threw up.
"Quite." I heard Stiles say.
"Quite my ass, what the hell are you trying to do, kill me? Both of you get out." Should I get out, Stiles and Scott have. But they left, Stiles yelling the whole way out. Trying to explain what was going on, but the janitor wouldn't budge. I heard the door shut and Stiles and Scott yelling my name, but I didn't dare to get out of the locker. Suddenly there was a scream; the Alpha was in the locker room. I was going to die.
What the hell was with this night? It is like the universe was honestly out to get me. I don't know how long I was in there until my locker opened revealing the big red eyes. They hypnotized me. My whole body was shaking and my breath was caught in my throat.
"Not yet." He growled menacingly to me. "But soon." He finished before turning around leaving me wide eyed and confused. When I heard the door of the locker room click shut I sucked in the breath I didn't know I was holding. Stepping out and going over to the janitor who was lying on the ground bloody. I was for sure he was dead. Quickly realizing he was still breathing, but barely.
I got down on my hands and knees and tried to stop the blood that was coming out of all the wounds that scattered across his body. Quickly he opened his eyes and looked directly at me, and then the life in them was gone. Once again watching someone die. I quickly got up and ran to the toilets retching. This night could seriously not get any worse. I looked in the mirror noticing that I was profusely sweating, my skin was pale, my eyes glossed over. I had blood all over my shirt and hands, so I quickly washed them, and then splashed cold water on my face.
I lost track of time until I got the courage to leave the room. Walking slowly, trying to listen for people. But at the same time I couldn't hear anything. My breathing was steadier than normal, it was eerie, all of this was eerie.
"Rachel, hey Rachel, what are you doing here? Is that blood? Rachel answers me." Hearing the muffled yells I started to realize that wasn't Scott or Stiles, it was Jackson.
"He's dead." I said, not even recognizing the voice that came out of me.
"Who, who's dead." He asked crouching down so he was more eye level.
"He's dead." I repeated.
"Is that Rachel? Oh god is that blood?" I heard Lydia now running up to us.
"It's not hers, but she keeps saying that whoevers this is, is dead. What they hell are McCall and Stilinski doing, we gotta find Allison and get out of here. Rachel, hey Rachel looks at me." Jackson demanded grabbing my face to make me look into his eyes. "Hey, we're going to get you out of here. Can you walk?" He asked. I just scoffed; I literally just walked to him. He took that as a yes, but still grabbed my hand and led the way.
We were walking through the school and I should've been on high alert but I was just going through the motions.
"Finally. Can we go now?" Lydia asked and I noticed Scott and Stiles along with Allison had appeared.
"Oh my God, Rachel." Allison said running up to me. "Is this your blood?" She asked me. I just shook my head.
I heard Scott yell! Not even noticing that something had come out of the ceiling.
"RUN!" And we all did, Allison was dragging me, until Jackson swept me up to help me run faster. I hate the kid, but right now I couldn't be happier that he was here.
We all ran into a room and he set me down, him a Scott started shoving things in front of the door. Allison was going off about getting someone to explain to her what was going on, and Lydia was doing the same.
"YO!" Everyone looked up to see Stiles. "Okay, nice work. Really beautiful job, everyone. Now - what should we do about the 20 foot wall of windows?" He stated while gesturing to the windows in the room.
"He's dead." I repeated and Jackson crouched in front of me.
"Rachel, I need you to tell me who's dead." He said looking at me softly, there was something in his eyes, he looked scared.
"The janitor." I whispered.
"What's she talking about, what the hell."
"Rachel who killed the janitor." Jackson said softly to me.
"No, no, no, no. This was supposed to be over. The mountain lion killed-"
"NO!" He yelled and I jumped a little bit. Going back into my shell I tuned everyone out, however, my ears perked when Scott did this.
"Its its Derek. It's Derek Hale." What the fuck? Why did he just do that? My heart was beating out of my chest. They started to say more but my chest constricted and my heart was pounding. I could only hear the blood rushing in my ears.
I didn't even notice them surrounding me until Stiles and Allison were at eye level.
"Rachel, Rachel calm down, you have to breath." His voice was all muffled. I couldn't understand what he was asking me to do. "Rachel, breath. Come On." He said suddenly Allison was pulling me forward away from the wall and Stiles was sitting behind me. He pulled me into his chest and wrapped his arms around me. I started to fight him, tears betraying me and falling down my face.
"No, no." I started to fight him but he held on tighter. His face was next to mine whispering.
"Breath, come on Rachel feel my chest on your back and mimic it." For the sake of this being over I did what he told me to do. Breathing in deeply.
"She doesn't look to good." Allison said while brushing my hair that was matted to my forehead from sweat.
"She never got her treatment today, so yeah, she probably isn't doing great." Stiles told her.
"Plus her boyfriend's trying to kill us all." Lydia deadpanned. All of them turned to look at her and my breath staggered again. Stiles again tightened his grip.
"Breath baby girl, just breath. We'll figure this out." Stiles said to me.
Once I was doing better he and Allison traded places. The yelling started again and Allison laid my head back on her shoulder and was brushing her fingers through my hair. It was fairly relaxing, however the arguing was not helping me at all.
"I'm calling." I heard Lydia say, whom the hell was she calling.
Once she started giving out location I realized she was calling the police, which was until they hung up on her.
"The police hung up on you?" Allison asked.
"She said they got a tip warning them that there are going to be prank calls about a break-in at the high school. She said if I called again they're going to trace it and have me arrested.
At this I laid my head back and closed my eyes, we were going to die, this was it. There was more yelling at this point. I must have fallen asleep because they were all screaming about something now.
"I can't carry her with the tank, it's really hard." Jackson yelled while they panicked.
"Its out anyway." I said croaking, my voice completely wrecked from the crying and screaming.
"Rachel. We've got to get her oxygen." Jackson scooped me up and we were off. When we got to our destination I heard them yelling and pushing tables and finally I felt myself being placed against a wall.
There was more screaming and I was barely awake for Jackson getting punched out by Stiles. That for sure made my day. My breathing was getting harder and my monitor was now freaking out. It was screeching telling everyone that I was dying.
"Shit!" Scott yelled. Stiles and him were running around. I felt my body being readjusted and I was lying against someone.
"You gotta keep breathing Rachel, come on. You have to keep breathing." It was Jackson, he was crying. Stiles came over with the emergency machine. It strapped to my forehead and around my cheek with two parts, one covered my nose and the other my mouth. It was suppose to pump more oxygen into my system while I waited for emergency responders. I looked through hazed eyes and saw tears. Everyone was crying.
Lydia used her genius powers for good and I heard her making self-igniting Molotov cocktails.
Allison was freaking out and when I opened my eyes I noticed Scott was gone.
"Scott?" I asked, my question muffled through the mask.
"Rachel, hey Rachel you have to stay calm, he'll be okay." Stiles said right in front of me. "Close your eyes baby girl, when you wake up, this will all be over. Sleep, just sleep." He said now crying a lot. I knew what he was thinking; he was lulling me to sleep, because he knew if they didn't come soon, I was going to die.
I woke up to banging on the door to the room and everyone running in a scurry. Stiles dad was at the door and Stiles was yelling saying we need medical help. Mr. Stilinski had gotten to me.
"Oh my gosh, Rachel, hey, you gotta stay awake baby girl. You gotta stay with us. We are going to get you help." He was yelling at me.
I opened my eyes and he smiled. "Good girl, keep those beautiful eyes open." I started to cry more.
"He's dead." I said through a muffled mask. He nodded and swiped the hair out of my face, now noticing the blood. He face showed it all, the horror.
"It's not hers, it's the janitor's." Jackson said. I had completely forgotten he was supporting me. When the paramedics came in it was complete chaos. They decided to sedate me, and the world went black.

I started to wake up, but I felt like I was choking, automatically gagging on whatever was restricting my airway I realized I was on a ventilator.
Mom ran up to me and was there to calm me.
"Rachel, you're in the hospital, you are on a breathing tube. We've been weaning you off of it so now we can remove it." She said in an overly loud voice. Why does everyone think you're deaf when you're in the hospital? Dear lord.
When she returned she had a doctor with her and they removed the tube quickly replacing it with a mask. I hadn't realized how many tubes and wires I was hooked up to until that moment.
I was crying now, unable to control my emotions. My mom was sitting on the bed hugging me and also crying, she kept repeating that this was to close, this was to close. The door slowly opened to reveal Scott and Stiles. They slowly walked in and my mom took it as her cue to leave. She gave me one last hug and then warned the boys to be easy on me.
"Hey. How you feeling?" Stiles said slowly approaching me."
I just nodded to him, he got the hint.
"Allison broke up with me." Scott told me after telling me everything that had happened after the night. "They had to revive you once, and then they put you on life support. I'm so sorry I dragged you into this. You almost died." He said tears in his eyes. I reached out and grabbed his hand, pulling him in and we hugged and cried, Stiles on the other side holding my hand as well.
"How long?" I finally croaked out to him.
"You've been out for a week." Stiles said answering my question. "And there's something else. When we left the school, Derek's body was gone, and so was his car." I looked up to him, completely confused.
"He's alive?"
"We don't know, the alpha may have taken him, but he wasn't there." He told me. Everything was going to hell. I just grabbed on to Scott tighter and he got into the bed so I could have his support. We lay like that for a long time, my mom came in at one point and replaced Scott, he went and sat by Stiles, I cuddled into her chest and cried for a while. Me, my mom, Scott and Stiles. They are all I had now. Along with the haunting words that the alpha said to me— not yet, but soon.
