The more that the thick power line snaked around them, the quicker Eva backed away, she could see that Kira was doing the same, but for the other girl she wasn't plagued by the images flashing behind her eyes. Eva not only actually saw quite a bit happening around them, but flashes of warnings, things to come. Yes, she did doubt her ability after what she had done the day before, led her friends on a wild goose chase to save another friend. Yes, he was ok then, but she still had that slight bit of doubt in her.
A lot of things happened at once, an ambulance pulling into the parking lot of the Hospital lost control, crashing into a fire hydrant and causing water to flood the parking lot. Eva moved even faster across the parking lot, away from the water as it was charged by the electricity cord. The flashes in her mind were of the faces of her friends, First Kira, her eyes glowing an electrically charged amber, then Isaac, his eyes void of life, and finally Stiles, but it wasn't Stiles. He would never hold such a smug grin on his face, those eyes, so dark and entirely void. He was walking, she couldn't see where he was walking to, just that he was leaving the hospital.
Just as Eva thought things couldn't get any worse, she spotted Isaac across the pool of water, with Allison.
"Allison! Isaac! No!" Before Eva can even finish and get the words out of her mouth, the body count is already starting, that of the man in the ambulance, falling to the ground after stepping into the super charged pool of water. Next comes Isaac.
"No." Eva gasps, she's watching this entire scene unfold before her, his heroic act, saving Allison who attempted to run to the two girls on the other side of that pool of water, he can't save himself though, because after throwing Allison out of the way, the rushing water reaches his feet and the jolt of electricity drops him.
"Please. Do something." Eva looks to Kira who is watching for an opportunity, Eva was able to tell what her vision meant. It was that Kira was going to be able to stop the madness at hand.
As an unaware Hospital visitor drives into the parking lot, over the water, Kira takes her chance, running across the length of the car. Eva watches, entirely in awe as she flips over the car, landing before the dancing power line. Almost like she is some sort of snake charmer, the power line doesn't whip away from her as she reaches out and grasps it. Holding it there for a moment before taking her free hand and placing it over the cut end of the wire, absorbing the electricity and becoming the Kira that Eva had seen in her vision.
The moment the electricity is gone, Eva rushes out into the large puddle of water to where Isaac had fallen, Derek and Scott arrived at the scene just moments earlier to see the ability that Kira has. Eva and Derek arrive at Isaac's side at the same time, Eva dropping to her knees as Derek looks for a pulse.
"He's not breathing." Derek says once, nearly knocking the wind out of Eva. It can't be true.
"No. No. He's going to be fine, Derek. He has to be." She pleads as he looks to Scott.
"He's not breathing!" He shouts.
As if everything is happening in slow motion, Eva feels someone grabbing her, moving her away from Isaac as Hospital officials come to grab him and put him onto a gurney bringing him into the Hospital. She can feel herself being moved, but she can't hear anything. It's as if her eyes are her only gate way into the real world. She watches as he's rushed into the Hospital, his face riddled with the burns from the electric shock he had gotten.
She's trying hard to convince herself he's going to be ok. Eva, even if they were no longer together, still loved that boy, no, she was no longer in love with him, but he had been her first love. The first guy she had ever fully opened up to, he was no longer her boyfriend, the two of them had moved on, but he was like her best friend and there was no way he was going to die. Not now. He had way too much left to live for.
"Eva?" Her name pulled her out of the trance like state she had been in long enough to realize that the person who had pulled her away from where Isaac had been was Derek. She didn't speak, but she was able to stand on her own two feet when he set her upon them and her eyes did lift so that they could lock on his, letting him know that she had heard him speak.
"I hate to do this to you, but we need you." That was Scott's voice and she soon realized that he was there too, standing near by Derek, watching the girl, concerned for her. She could feel it as well as she could see it on their faces.
"What?" It was hard to hide the fact that she was confused, her eyes looking between the two guys. She was feeling a little numb, wishing more than anything that Aiden was there with her. He had made the choice to stay with Ethan, knowing that Stiles didn't like him to begin with. So he knew he had no purpose of being at the hospital.
"Stiles is gone. We need you to see if you can pick something up to help find him." Isaac was up in the Hospital, possibly dying because she hadn't been able to get to him quickly enough. Multiple people had gotten hurt because she hadn't warned anyone on time as to what was happening. Now they wanted to get her to tap into that ability again to try and find Stiles. As badly as she wanted to say no, she knew she couldn't. She had to at least try.
"I can't just turn it on and off, but I'll try. I promise." Eva replied.

Isaac was breathing again, it was with the help of machines, but he was at least alive and that was all that mattered to Eva. She hadn't been able to visit him, seeing as you needed to be family in order to visit him, but she had been constantly in contact with anyone who knew the latest on him, especially Scott's mom. Eva had been staying with Ethan and Aiden through the weekend, going out to search for Stiles when she could. It was heard breaking, knowing he was out there, somewhere. Possibly not even control of his own body.
It was the ringing of her phone that alerted Eva to the fact that she was, once again, staring off into space. This time she had zoned out as she stood before the sink in the bathroom of Ethan and Aiden's apartment. It was Monday morning and no matter how much she tried to focus, she could barely focus enough to brush out her bed head.
Having finally managed to make herself look decent she had been staring into the mirror. She had no idea how long, but the ringing of her phone had woken her from the trance.
"Please tell me some good news." She answered the moment she spotted Scott's name on the screen of her phone.
"We're going to visit Isaac. I thought you would want to come." Scott replied and Eva couldn't stop the smile that appeared upon her lips. She had been plagued with nightmares, most of them including a phone call, not so similar to this one though, the call in her dream told her that Isaac was dead. She knew the difference between her significant dreams and the night terrors she had experienced recently, though.
"I'll meet you there." Eva responded before the two hang up.
"Aiden, we have to stop at the Hospital before school." She informed him, knowing he would understand why.

Eva came to the top of the elevator just before Allison, Scott, and his mom were going to enter into Isaac's room, she gave a weak smile off to the others who returned it before she rushed over to them. It was hard, finding the right words to say as they walked into the room, so Eva didn't say anything at all. She remained silent as she made her way to Isaac's bed side. Reaching it before Scott and Allison did Melissa McCall left them alone, telling them to just be quick.
"I thought he would be healing by now." Allison said as her and Scott reached Isaac's bedside too. Eva almost didn't hear her speak. She was too absorbed in the sight before her, the breathing tube, the burnt flesh covering the right side of Isaac's face and neck and all the way down the rest of the right side of him. She reached a hand out to gently rest upon his.
The moment her fingers so much as brushed his hand she was over come with pain, she held it back, though, not letting onto the fact that she could feel it. The pain mixed with her own sadness for the boy laying before her is what had to have sent her over the edge because before she even realized it she was seeing a flash of what was to come.
It was Isaac, whole and well again, she wasn't sure where he was, but she could see he was standing over someone or something, this smug grin on his face. She could feel some sort of malice in the air, but she didn't question it. All she knew was that this was the sign she had been looking for.
"He's going to be ok." She whispered before turning to Scott and Allison, both seemingly bewildered by what she said. "He's going to be ok. I saw it."

It was going to be a long day at school, Eva could already feel it, even as she stood in the girls locker room, already having changed to get ready for the cross country run they were doing that day. She had opted out of her study hall in order to get more physical activity in the day, which is why she would end up on the cross country field with the rest of the boys that day.
The only thing though, was that sudden sound she heard, almost like a dog whistle, although the noise was quick and short and along with each and every sounding of it she got a flash of Stiles' face. Heading out of the locker room she avoided the looks of the other girls, not even slowing for a moment as she ran to the basement of the high school where she followed the sound of the emitter she had become familiar with earlier in the year when Allison's dad had used them.
She knew, that if she was hearing this, then the boys were too, but so far she hadn't seen them. She wasn't going to let that stop her, though she knew that Stiles was near by. She could feel it just as well as she had seen it.
The moment she reached the end of the emitter, she spotted him, the very boy who had been evading everyone recently, stiles.
He turned the moment he heard her enter into the room he stood in, his hands up showing he meant no harm. She stayed standing where she was though, only for a moment longer, until he spoke.
"Eva, it's me. I promise. It's just me." She believed him, and so she rushed over to him, throwing her arms around him in a hug. When the hug ended she released him her face over come with a look of pure confusion. She had so many questions, but she knew she couldn't get the answers right then because the moment she went to speak she heard the others appearing in the same hall she had just stood in.
She backed up to stand beside Stiles watching as Scott, Ethan, and Aiden all came to a halt, watching Stiles who was back to the hands up position. He was stuttering trying to prove that he was who he said he was, but both twins let their fangs, claws, and wolf like eyes come to play, charging at Stiles.
Before they could reach him, Eva stepped in front of him, arms stretched out before him, a loud growl escaped her, her own fangs, claws, and glowing eyes on display.
"Stop!" She roared and even if both boys wanted nothing more than to push past her and attack Stiles they paused, eyes narrowing at the petite female.
"Listen to her!" Scott demanded.
Aiden turned looking to Scott who he roared menacingly at, but it was no match for the roar of the alpha which Scott shot back his way, causing him to lose his fangs, claws, and glowing eyes. Eva let her guard down after that, moving to glare at both Aiden and Ethan.
"Asses." She muttered before standing between the two, arms crossed over her chest.
"It's me Scott, I swear it's me. I don't know where I've been or what I've been doing for the past couple of days, but this is me I promise." Stiles began the moment the chaos had ended.
Eva would have come to his defense, but she couldn't say she could agree with what he was saying for sure or not. When she had hugged him she had gotten so many mixed signals, as if he were two different people trapped in one body. One with intentions so pure, and the others intentions rancid and horrifying.
"Do you know what happened at the hospital?" Ethan asks as he glares at Stiles.
"I know more than that." Stiles insists as he opens up a duffle bag sitting before all of them on the floor. He produces what looks like a map. "See this?" He asks as he looks on at the 4 werewolves before him. "It's a blueprint of the Hospitals electrical wiring." He opens it up so they can all see. "You see all the markings in red, that's my handwriting. I know I did this, I caused the accident." He says as he closes up the blueprint. "Everything in this bag, it's all a part of something bigger."
Ethan and Scott crouch over the bag, Ethan pulling a reciprocating saw out of the bag.
"What the hell have you been up to?" He asks, the saw still in his hand.
"I think something worse. A lot worse." Stiles admits.
They lift the bag onto a table, slowly emptying it out between the three boys, Eva stands along side, eying the things that come out of it. Duct tape, Rope, chain…she glances at Aiden for a moment and then at Stiles, having a hard time keeping from making a crack about the items in the bag, knowing well what her and Aiden would use such things for.
"Either you were up to something rather sinister, or you're just rather kinky, Stiles." Eva comments, lightening the mood just a bit as a few laughs are generated. That is until more things begin to come out of the bag.
"What the hell were you doing building a terminator?" Aiden asks.
"Thank you for that." Stiles begins to retort as Stiles finds something rather important.
"Guys it's a map." Scott says as he unfolds the map and places it on the table.
"Isn't that the cross country trail?" Ethan points out, his finger following the trail along the map.
"That's the Tate car, where the Malia Tate's family died." Scott says as Ethan's finger reaches a point on the map that the trail ends on.
"And that's where her father put the steel jawed traps." Stiles adds.
And that was when they all came to the same realization, Stiles had booby trapped the cross country path.

Ethan and Scott both went after their own interests, Ethan after Danny and Scott after Kira. Eva, Aiden, and Stiles all rushed to the beginning of the cross country path to where coach sat, the three of them jumping out of the jeep and rushing over to the bewildered coach.
"Coach!" Stiles called him.
"Stilinski, where -" Before he can speak anymore Stiles cuts him off.
"Coach, listen close. We need to stop everyone, now. Something bad is going to happen." Stiles informed him. Eva can feel it, though, whatever it was it was getting closer and before he can finish explaining Eva bolts into the woods. Aiden follows quickly behind her as does Coach and Stiles.
They reach the point in the woods that the trap was set quickly, Stiles yelling for everyone to stop since the rest of the cross country team has reached that spot as well. Beginning to dig into the brush at the break in the path, Stiles finds a chain, but the chain comes up empty.
Coach claps sarcasm dripping from his voice.
"Congratulations Stilinski, you found a length of chain. Can somebody now tell me what the hell is going on?" Coach asks as he continues to walk towards the rest of the class. The moment he moves Eva can feel it, a sudden sharp pain in her stomach, it's quick, but it's painful and she knows it was just a warning.
She spots it before anyone else does, a trip wire, but she's too late.
"Coach!" She yells, but the arrow attached to the end of the wire had already pierced him in the very spot that she had felt it in herself.
As their coach lie on the ground, bleeding from the wound that the arrow had caused, Eva battled with herself internally. She was a whirlwind of things since she had visited her old house and battled with those old demons. She caught glimpses of things, felt things, but was unable to do anything about those things. At that point she could feel the coaches pain, she felt joy coming from someone else, she just couldn't pin point who, she also felt like she was stuck. Stuck in some sort of rut, with some sort of mental blocker keeping her from knowing anything more than a few seconds before they happened.
There comes a time when cutting it close isn't enough. Eva had watched one of her closest friends be electrocuted, she had known it was going to happen but did nothing to stop it. She had known that her coach was going to be pierced with an arrow, but she hadn't stopped that either. More and more she was finding doubt in her abilities. She had led her friends astray when they had been trying to find Stiles. She knew that Lydia had to feel just as badly about herself, but Eva was focused on no one other than herself.
As she stood around the three boys fussing over the coach, Eva knelt down so that she sat by his head, her hands resting upon the sides of his head. He hardly noticed as he screamed about how he was going to die. Eva knew that wasn't the case. Yes, she felt disappointed in herself, but there was one thing she knew she could do. She could calm the coach down and as her hands touched the sides of his head she was doing just that, although he did still writhe around in pain.
Aiden, taking charge as he typically did, using his intimidation to his advantage yelled to the others in the crowd that surrounded the coach, knowing that the ambulance would be there soon, but that someone had to help the coach anyways.
"Get back!" He ordered them and Ethan helped push the group back.
The moment everyone was out of range, Scott took Coaches hand in his and began to remove some of the mans pain, taking it into himself.
"I think he just passed out." Aiden said the moment Scott had finished taking the coaches pain.
"He'll be alright." Eva informed all of them, especially Stiles who was shaking as he looked at his bloody hands.
"I could have killed him. I - I could have killed him." Stiles repeats.
"But you didn't. This wasn't you, Stiles. He's going to be alright." Eva said.
"I think I just heard the ambulance coming." Scott says.
"And my dad." Says Stiles.

To say that Eva was angry with herself would have been an understatement as they stood where the ambulance was packing coach up to take him to the hospital. She was livid, she had been doing nothing but being alerted of the chaos just moments before it happened. What was the point of seeing a sneak peak of what was to come if she couldn't change it?
Standing by the back of Stiles' jeep, Ethan was rummaging through the duffle bag again, trying to find something, anything that might indicate what was going to happen next.
"Scott, you might want to see this." Ethan said as he pulled out the wrapping paper he had found in the back seat.
"that's what we used to wrap coaches birthday present." Scott said.
"Yeah, but isn't that William barrow's thing?" Aiden asked. "Wrapping up a bomb as a present?" Aiden added.
"Where did the bomb go off?" Eva asked.
"On a school bus." Scott retorted before rushing off to alert the Sheriff.
As Eva stood at the back of the jeep, though, through all the anger and disappointment she was feeling she could feel something else too, uncertainty. It was all too easy. Seeing as Aiden had set the wrapping paper down she reached for it and the moment her fingers touched it she saw it. A sudden explosion, but not on the bus, in the Police station, the magnitude of dead bodies that she saw littering the place was unsettling as if no one had seen it coming.
"It's not on the bus! It's in the police station." Eva concluded, Ethan and Aiden both hearing the girl, watching as she rushed to tell the sheriff.
"You can still send someone to check the bus, but it's in the police station, I know it. I saw it, Sheriff. I know my word isn't the best considering everything with Stiles, but please, trust me on this one. It's in your office." Eva said, hoping against hope that she was right this time and not putting lives in danger by getting the police department evacuated instead of where the bomb really was.
The sheriff looked at the girl skeptically for a moment, that was until he seemed to realize something.
"The package from this morning. Oh my god. You're right." He said before getting on the phone and sending out an alert to evacuate the police station.
That was the day that Eva redeemed herself and managed to regain entire control of her powers, but it was also the day that she made a very dark and powerful enemy, Stiles or at least the Nogitsune inside of him.
