Lunar Eclipse
I waited, watching as they laid lifeless, trying to stay calm. My real body was still, all except for my chest gently rising and falling, as I breathed in and out. All of a sudden, I was seeing Scott, the night he was bitten, as he and Stiles walked through the woods. Then Alison, in the car on her way to Beacon Hills for the first time and I put it all together, they were all connected in some way, they had all found the nemeton. Alison was the first to wake, then Stiles, then Scott, all of a sudden, I was shooting up, gasping for breath.
"I saw it! I saw each of you, when you found the nemeton!" was the first thing to come out of my mouth.
"What? How?" Stiles asked.
"I don't know, but I saw you and I saw Scott get bit and Alison's mom almost hit Scott."
They all exchanged a look and I slid off the table, letting my bare feet hit the tile.
"You were out for 17 hours, they were out for 16," Isaac said.
They started to argue, and I held my head, standing next to Isaac.
"Ugh, it's like I cleared out a whole bar last night," I groaned.
My eyes widened, when I saw Ethan walk through the door.
"I'm looking for Lydia and..Luna," he stated.
"For what?" Lydia asked.
"I need your help."
"With what?" Stiles asked.
"My brother and Kali, are gonna kill Derek."
I walked out and opened the gate walking through and saying, "I'll help, but there's one thing I need to know."
"What is it?" he asked.
"Are you with us?" I asked, looking at him hard.
"If I have to be."
I nodded, knowing that him coming here was hard. We stood in front of Derek as Ethan explained and Peter told him that he needed to run.
Cora said, "If, you're going to fight for something and die, do it for something meaningful."
"How do you know I'll lose?" Derek asked.
"I don't, but someone does," Peter said.
"What do you feel Lydia?" I asked, making her look at me.
"I feel like...I'm standing in a graveyard," she said.
Exchanging a glance with Ethan, I stepped towards Derek and held out my hand.
"Do you trust me?" I asked.
"Yes," Derek said.
"Then, take my hand."
He did so, seeing where I wanted him to go, after letting go, he nodded and I dropped my hand to my side.
The alarm went off and Kali walked in asking, "Where is he?"
"I think he went out to do some shopping," Lydia said.
"Who do you think you're talking to?" Kali said cockily.
"Someone in desperate need of a pedicure, I'd be happy to give you one," Lydia said.
Aiden growled and Kali said, "Oh, really?"
"Someone take to seriously to their little assignment?" Kali asked, circling Aiden.
"She's not the problem," he said, keeping still.
I fidgeted and Ethan looked at me, knowing that it was hard for me to stay still as she threatened Aiden, even after all these years.
"Oh, god, is this about to get really violent?" Lydia asked.
"Probably," Ethan muttered.
Jennifer crashed through the ceiling, and asked, "So, who wants to go first?"
Ethan, Lydia and I moved away, Ethan and I shielding Lydia.
"Ethan?" I whispered.
"Yeah?" he whispered back.
"Do you remember what I said at the dock?"
"That it's nearly impossible to sit by and watch us get hurt?"
"Mhmm, Ethan, I think you need to hold me back...because, it's still true."
"I'll do whatever it takes."
I sighed, sitting back and slipping my hand into his, feeling relaxed, he had that affect on me as one of my best friends.
"It'll be okay," Lydia mumbled.
"I hope so," I muttered as Ethan got up.
Lydia stood, moving away and I stood with her, watching Jennifer use her powers.
"I should've ripped your head off!" Kali screamed.
I stood, holding Lydia as the twins morphed together. They fought and she snapped their back and a sob escaped my throat.
"You still care?" she asked.
"You little bitch," I muttered, eyes filled with tears.
She stepped towards Lydia, backing her into a wall.
"What do you want from me?" Lydia asked.
"I want you to do what you do best, I want you to scream," she said.
Lydia screamed, making me cover my ears and drop down next to the twins. Derek and Cora showed up, but everything else was just white noise. Cora looked at me and I wasn't able to speak, everything was numb, I flipped the combined twin and looked at their eyes, Ethan's green eyes and Aiden's brown eyes. Backing up, I pulled my knees to my chest, shaking my head and shutting my eyes. Arms wrapped around me and Cora looked at me, confused but understanding.
"It hurts Cora, I don't know why, but it hurts," I whispered.
She whispered, "You still have us, you will always have us."
I sat there, until the twins un-morphed and I gasped, leaning over Aiden who was closer to me.
"They're alive," Cora whispered.
Aiden's eyes opened and he whispered, "You kept your promise," just before blacking out.
Lifting him, I put him in Lydia's car and we took him to Deaton.
"Can you save them?" Lydia asked.
"Only if they start healing on their own," he stated.
"What about me? I can heal them with my blood," I said frantically.
"That might complicate things," he replied.
I frowned, turned back to Aiden and brushed the hair from his face and kissed his forehead. When I straightened up, Lydia looked at me hurt. Deaton rushed out two oxygen tanks and strapped them onto the twins. Pulling out a syringe, he looked at me and I nodded, signaling for him to do whatever it takes.
While Deaton worked, Lydia asked, "Do you care about him?"
"Yes," I said.
"Do you love him?"
"Yes."
"Are you in love with him?"
"I was."
"You're not now?"
"No."
Looking down, I held the bracelet that he gave me when we were 15 and brought it to my lips, kissed the charm that said 'A+L'.
-Flashback-
I sat on the dock, toes dipped in the lake and sun warming my skin.
"Why does a vampire love the sun so much?" Aiden asked, sitting beside me.
"Why do I love you so much?" I asked, remembering all the other times we had this conversation.
"I'll answer that when I know," he smiled.
"Well let me know when you do."
"I have something for you," he said, pulling a box out of his pocket.
Turning to him, I watched as he opened the box and pulled out a leather bracelet with a heart that said, 'A+L' on one side and 'My heart belongs to you.' on the other.
"I love it," I beamed, "I'm never getting rid of it."
"I'm never getting rid of you," he muttered, looking down at my lips and leaning in.
I pressed my lips to his and pulled back, leaning on his shoulder.
"What's going to happen to us?" I asked.
"We'll be together until the day I die."
-Flashback Over-
How wrong he was. Leaning on the door, I watched Lydia stand at his head and he held her hand then turned to me.
"You kept it?" he asked.
"I kept both of my promises," I smiled.
"Why?" he asked.
I looked at Lydia who looked confused, "Because I- because I don't break promises," I replied, realizing that I was about to say 'because I still love you.'
I knew my heart rate faltered and he knew there was something else. Walking out, I went home.
The next day at school, I walked with Stiles and Scott, fingers intertwined with both of them.
"So, are you done with Isaac?" Stiles asked.
Looking into Isaac's eyes as he listened.
"I think I'm done with boys altogether, but I-I don't know where I stand with him. I mean, my vision showed something even bigger coming."
We walked down the hall, smiling for once in a long time.
"What about you Stiles? Are you going to take the anti-couple pact?"
"I am," Scott surprised us all.
"Me too," Stiles muttered.
We reached my locker and I turned to them and said, "This is how we were supposed to be."
"What?" they said.
"This is us, the three musketeers. This how we were supposed to grow up," I smiled genuinely.
"Best friends, pack, family," Stiles said.
"Now and forever," Scott added.
"So, how are you doing with the whole dark heart thing?"
"I have you guys, that's getting me through," Stiles said, as Scott nodded.
"So, are you okay with Aiden and Lydia?" Stiles asked, making me freeze.
Taking a deep breath, I said, "I will be. I just have this feeling that things will be okay."
"Why would you ask that?" Scott asked.
"Cora told me what happened in Derek's loft and she told me about your conversation with Lydia."
"You and Aiden?" Scott blinked.
"Look, I just want to have a day without drama, can I have that?" I asked.
They held up their hands in defeat and I started to laugh. Aiden, Lydia, Ethan, Danny, Isaac and Alison all looked at me and smiled.
"Sadly, before I can go drama free, I have to end it with Isaac," I choked out.
"Are you sure you want to?" Stiles asked.
"It's what's best," I nodded.
Looking over, I saw that Isaac wasn't listening to the last part and this would be even harder. Closing my locker, I took a deep breath and walked over to Isaac.
"Isaac, uh, can I talk to you?" I asked.
He nodded and we went into the coach's office, shutting the door, a tear escaped my eye.
"Isaac, we need to break up."
"I-did I do something wrong?"
"No, I just-"
"Is it Stiles? Ana?"
"No, it's not anyone else's fault, it's mine. I'm the one who let it get too far."
"What! When had you decided that you were done?"
"When things changed! When you changed, when you left me in the dust, trying to figure out what the hell was going on!"
"You mean when I got the bite!"
"No! I mean when you started to like Alison!"
"You're jealous!"
"I'm not jealous! I just don't want to get hurt!"
"What makes you think I'm going to hurt you!"
"The fact that you can't decide what you want! You have never been able to decide what you want!" I yelled then took a deep breath, "I am not going to wait around for you to choose."
"Why not!"
"Do you know what it's like to have to always compete for happiness? To always wonder if you were picked for the right reasons? To watch someone get ripped away from you and think it was your fault?"
He didn't respond and I spat, "Exactly."
Walking out, he stopped me by grabbing my wrist.
"I'll never make you feel that way."
"How do you know? I've made the mistake of trusting people who put me in this situation and it always bites me in the ass."
"Then what was going on between you and Aiden?"
"That's not the same."
"How?"
"It was always you! You were all I wanted Isaac!" I yelled then whispered, "Now I've lost that too," while throwing the door open and walking back to Scott and Stiles.
I saw the look on Alison's face, 'she had been listening.'
Author's Note: How did you like the ending? I'm really excited for 3B, especially because I'll be starting a sequel for it! Give me reviews, about whether or not you like Lisaac (Luna+Isaac), Stuna (Stiles+Luna), or if Derek needs a some what happy ending with a Lerek story line.
