Authors note:Sorry for the delay on the chapter, I've been feeling like crap and have had the worst writers block. I attempted to push past it today, and I feel like it shows a lot in this chapter. I am not happy with it, but I needed to get it out in order to get to the next one and back to the good stuff.
As always, please do let me know what you like or don't like, reviews are not needed but appreciated and welcome.
Enjoy!

"Son of a bitch." It's not often that Eva is caught cussing, but the events that had taken place that very day were enough to have anyone cursing.
The entire scene inside of the Beacon Hills Hospital was eerie, the flickering lights, the utter chaos as it was evacuated. It was easy to slip into the Hospital unseen Those damn text messages seeming to flash over and over in her mind. The first had come from Stiles.
At Hospital, trying to save Cora and kick some Alpha ass, we're with miss Blake, need her to save my dad and Cora. Might need some help.
The second had come from Isaac.
Stay away from the Hospital, it's not safe.
So of course that was why she was charging into the Hospital without a second thought. Her friends were obviously in trouble and she wasn't going to just sit back and wait for an update on their current situation. No, she was going to charge in there and join the battle.
As the lights continued to flicker within the Hospital, Eva made her way to the stair case, knowing that the elevator would be a serious mistake to try to climb onto at that point. The moment she entered onto the stair case she heard familiar voices, that of Ethan and Aiden. She should have known they would be right in the throng of it all, but it was still hard for her to come to terms with the fact that the guy she was kind of seeing secretly was under orders to rid of her friends when needed.
Letting out a growl under her breath, she hurried up the stairs after the voices that she had heard, she knew that this could possibly end horribly, but she didn't care. She had a feeling that the twins would lead her to the friends she was looking for.
"Seriously? You're attempting to murder my friends again?" Eva asked as she came to stand at the end of the hall way the twins were standing in and arguing. Her arms came to cross over her chest and her brilliant blue-green orbs narrowed as she looked over at the two. She spotted the look that Aiden shot her, but that didn't faze her one bit.
"We're not trying to kill anyone other than the one whose trying to murder us." Aiden shot back.
"I'd love nothing more than to rip her throat out myself, but before I can do that, I'd like to save the life of Cora, and Sheriff Stilinski." Eva retorted not letting her guard down for even a second. Even if it meant she had to take on the hulking creature that those two created together, she didn't care. She wasn't going to allow them to get near Jennifer, not until Cora was going to be ok and Stiles' dad was safe.
It was only a moment later that she caught wind of the very voice she had hoped to hear, it was the sound of Stiles, obviously going off on someone not too far off from where they stood right then. Without hesitation she took off into the door beside her, following the voice she had heard. She did also catch the argument she had caused the twins to have.
"We can't just let her go." That was Ethan.
"We have to for now, Deucalion want's them both." Aiden replied.
Eva didn't pause to ponder that. Instead she burst through the last door that separated her and the people she had looked for only to be greeted with growling and 3 sets of glowing eyes, elongated fangs, and sharp, deadly claws.
"Pretty sure I'm here to help you guys." Eva assures them with her hands in the air, Scott, Peter, and Derek instantly relax as they realize who it was who stormed into the room they were taking shelter in. Securing the door shut behind her, Eva approaches the table they're surrounding, her piercing eyes scour over Cora as she lies on the operating table.
"I feel like I'm stating the obvious, but she's going to need help, and soon, I don't think she'll make it much longer than an hour." Eva explains as she reaches out a hand to gently place it to the girls chest, right where her heart is still faintly beating within her chest. She lets her gift take over for a moment, reading the life line of the girl before her.
"If she'll even make it that long is a stretch." Eva adds, her voice low and grim as she speaks.
"There has to be something around here that we can use to help her." Derek speculates as they all jump into action, beginning to rummage through the contents of the room, just as they begin their search, Jennifer Blake returns into the room, Eva growls at the female instantly, her wolfen form begging to make an appearance.
"You can't help her, not without me." Jennifer insists. "I can help you save her and I'll tell you where the Sheriff is, but only when I'm safe." She continues and Eva has to resist pouncing on her. Derek, however, doesn't..
"You were trying to escape." He accuses as he ruses towards the evil woman standing before them all.
"I was just trying to stay alive, you can't blame me for that." Jennifer insists.
"If you want to prove you're one of the "good guys" you should heal Cora now." Stiles interjects and Jennifer shakes her head.
"No, not until I'm safe." Jennifer refuses.
"I say we torture her compliance out of her." Peter suggests, and no one seems to be against the idea.
"That works for me." Derek agrees, but before either of them can make their move to follow through with that idea, the PA system springs to life.
"Mr. Deucalion . . . Excuse me, just Deucalion, wants you to bring the woman calling herself Jennifer Blake to the ER reception within 10 minutes." With that the PA system cuts off again and Eva can see the panic coming over Scotts face.
Eva is still shocked by this news, she completely zones out as the conversation continues, she catches bits and pieces, the description of the true alpha, that she already knows that Scott is, the need to still help Jennifer escape. The one thing she actually catches is the need to distract the Alpha's long enough to make it to the last ambulance in the basement.
As everyone rushes around the room to find something to take on Ethan and Aiden, Eva knows what she's going to have to do. Without saying a word, she leaves the room, ignoring the calls for her to return.
"I know who you want." Eva caught the attention of the twins, merged together once again. "Other than me, of course." Eva added. The giant wolf smirked at that as it took two hulking steps towards the petite girl.
"So you're going to join us?" The two growled in response.
"Not a chance. It's going to take a lot more than a few threats and some sweet talking on your part, Aiden." Eva insisted as she heard more people approaching, she didn't look until the two were at her side, Derek, and Peter with a syringe sticking from his chest.
And that is when the battle begun.

"Would you mind getting off from my back?" Eva asks, speaking literally to Peter, she had the unfortunate luck of going down the laundry chute to escape the twins first, landing her underneath the hulking form of Peter, followed by Scott, who, by the grace of god, happened to manage to roll off from them quickly and onto his feet. Eva shoved Peter off from her, causing him to be tossed off from her and onto the ground.
"Patience is a virtue, that you obviously have never heard off." Eva rolls her eyes in the direction of Peter before Scott interjects.
"Please, can you two not argue for 5 minutes. We've got worse things on our hands than this." Scott says.
They do stop arguing, as Scotts phone goes off informing them that he has received a text message.
"Derek and Melissa are still in the building." Scott tells the other two.
"We've got to get them out of here." Scott adds.
"How?" Eva asks.
"I think I've got a plan." Scott retorts.

Heading into the garage, the three of them spot the Ambulance, the lone ambulance that Stiles and Cora should be on. Hurrying over to it Scott opens the door, still supporting the drained Peter.
"You four, stay here, Eva, keep an eye on them, I'm going back for my mom and Derek." Scott says.
"We have another problem, Kali has the keys." Stiles informs them.
"Just stay here." Scott continues before heading off into the Hospital once more.

After waiting for what felt like forever, help arrives in the form of Isaac driving the SUV. He backs up into the garage, Everyone jumps into action. Peter and Eva loading Cora into the Suv, Eva gets into the vehicle as she sees Stiles return the ambulance, spotting something before rushing back into the Hospital. Eva follows.
"Stiles!" She calls after him, not slowing for a moment as she reaches his side.
"What are you doing?" She questions as she reaches him and he stops for a moment.
"She's after parents, Eva. Parents." Stiles insists and Eva's shocked, frozen in the spot for a moment before she rushes off with Stiles, easily ending up ahead of him.

"Come to join us?" Deucalion asks at the sight of the girl appearing on the roof of the building. Scott turns to face her.
"Never." Eva insists.
"Scott!" Stiles appears on the roof as well, stopping beside Eva.
"We can save them together, Scott. You don't have to do this." Stiles pleads as he notices Scott heading towards Deucalion.
"Yes I do. I have no choice. I'll find them, though, I'll save them." Scott promises.
"Sure you don't care to join us? Save your friends parents, defeat the woman who put you and your friends through hell." Deucalion persuades.
"I'd rather take on the man who killed my mother." Eva growled. Deucalion chuckled before placing a hand on Scotts shoulder and leading him away from the other two.
"Good luck." Deucalion insisted.
