Skye's POV
After watching the wire fall to the parking lot helplessly we all ran for the stairs and rushed down them to get the parking lot quickly, we ran up but before we could go any further Derek held his hand out in front of me and Scott just barely stopping us before we would have ran into the electrified water.
I looked up and saw Kira grab the wire then seemed to be sucking up the electricity and her eyes glowed a bright fire orange making my eyes widen before I scanned the parking lot taking in the casualties and saw a familiar figure lying motionless on the ground in the water.
"Isaac!" I yelled then ran towards him and bent down gently shaking him. "Isaac wake up" Derek ran over next to me then put his fingers over Isaac's pulse point then looked up at me and I met his look knowing it wasn't good.
"He's not breathing" I frowned looking back down at Isaac. "Scott he's not breathing!" Derek yelled towards Scott.
"No come on Isaac please" I rolled him over flinching at the burns on the side of his face and started breathing into his mouth but it wasn't working.
"Skye stop" Derek pulled me away as nurses ran over and got Isaac onto a stretcher then wheeled him into the hospital.
"This can't be happening" I cried as Derek pulled me into his chest as I tried to zone out the bustling sounds around me but couldn't.
"Two people said they saw Stiles' jeep leave the hospital" I heard Deputy Parrish's voice.
"Someone needs to find him right now" I heard Stiles' dad reply which sent a whole fresh set of tears rolling down my face as I thought about Stiles disappearing again right when that wire burst and fell.
"Stiles is gone" I said looking up at Derek and saw him nod which meant he'd heard that conversation too.
"Is it me or does this look cut?" I picked up the sound of Agent McCall's voice making me look up and saw him addressing my father. "Tell the others to keep an eye out for sabotage"
"How could Stiles do this?" I asked shaking my head.
"I don't know Skye but we're gonna figure it out" I nodded but didn't feel very confident about that. "Come on" he grabbed my hand then led me over to where Scott was standing motionless. "You have to tell Stilinski, you have to tell him what's really wrong with Stiles" Scott didn't say anything.
"Skyler?" I looked up and saw my dad walking towards us which made me flinch as we hadn't spoken at all since I ran out after he told me of his plans to move us to Miami. "Are you okay?" I nodded but didn't reply.
"Mr Blakesley I'm gonna take Skyler home" Derek replied for me and I watched my dad as he shook his head and thought he was going to argue but his reply startled both Derek and I.
"Thank you son, I'd feel better if she was with someone right now and make sure to watch her she might very well be in shock" Derek looked shocked but nodded glancing at me briefly. "Be safe Skye" my dad added kissing me on the forehead before Derek led me over to his car putting me in the passenger seat and even buckled my seatbelt because I was in too much shock to do it myself.
We went back to the loft and I sat down on the ground at the base of Derek's bed and pulled my knees to my chest as I broke down crying because I couldn't believe that had just happened, Isaac could be dying and it could very well be Stiles' fault.
"Skye come here" Derek sat down on the bed then pulled me up to sit in his lap wrapping his arms around my waist as I cried into his chest and he just let me get it all out before gently brushing his thumb over my cheeks wiping the tear stains away. "They're gonna be fine okay, they're both gonna be fine"
"We don't know that!" I exclaimed choking up again. "Stiles is gone and Isaac's dying" I would've started crying again but I had no tears left to cry.
"Hey look at me" he cupped my cheeks again. "Isaac is going to heal and Stiles will turn up and we'll find a way to help him, we always do" I shook my head feeling like I had no hope left. "Hey where's my confidant and brave Skye?" I looked up frowning.
"I can't lose them Derek, I won't survive it"
"Shh you're not losing anybody baby" he kissed my forehead then pulled me into a tight hug and I don't know how long we spent locked in the position but I eventually fell asleep tucked into my mates arms and it eased my pain and worry for just a short while.
The next two days went by in such a blur as I barely moved or ate and I knew it was worrying Derek but how could I do anything else at this point, Stile's was still missing and it was past the 48 hours which was never a good sign and we'd heard no news about Isaac.
"Skye you don't have to go to school" Derek spoke up sitting on the edge of the bed next to me as I pulled on my combat boots.
"I have to do something don't I, I need my education" I replied then gently squeezed his hand before grabbing my school bag. "Don't worry about me" he frowned.
"We both know that's physically impossible especially since this is the first time you've moved so much in two days"
"I'm fine" I replied and watched him shake his head knowing how untrue that was. "I'll see you later" I kissed his cheek then left heading downstairs to my bike and jumped on then rode towards the hospital because I was desperate to check up on Isaac and didn't want Derek hovering like he had been the last two days.
I walked in at the same time Scott and his mom did and we saw Allison was here fast asleep in an uncomfortable chair, Scott walked over and gently touched her shoulder waking her up and she looked up at us.
"Have you been here all night?" Scott asked her, she nodded.
"Yeah they won't let me see him cause I'm not family" I frowned thinking about Isaac having no blood family. "I told them he doesn't have any" I shook my head then looked to her.
"He's got us" I replied and she looked up with a small nod.
"And I've got a key card" Mrs McCall added holding up her key card making me smile appreciatively at her, we walked towards the sterile room Isaac was in and she slid the card through the card reader letting us in. "Be quick" we nodded.
I saw Allison grab Scott's hand as we approached the bed and smiled a little despite the situation but it quickly fell when I saw the burns still present on Isaac's face because he should've at least healed that by now and I quickly listening to the heartrate machine beeping steadily so I took that as a good sign I guess.
"I thought he'd be healing by now" Allison spoke up first.
"So did I" Scott replied as I took one of Isaac's hand flinching when I felt he was in pain.
"Is he in pain?" Allison asked me, I nodded my head then watched Scott touch his hand to Isaac's other arm before we each siphoned some of his pain away wincing as we did so and watched Isaac move just a little bit which filled me with an ounce of hope that he was going to be okay.
"It won't heal him but it helps with the pain" I replied looking up at them and Scott nodded his approval as he breathed harshly still reeling from the pain he took, I felt a little bit of lingering pain from taking Isaac's but after what Derek and I did to save Cora's life I was more tolerant to pain these days especially when taking it from someone else.
"Did Stiles really do this?" Allison asked us.
"Whatever's controlling him did it, whatever's inside him" Scott replied as kept my eyes on Isaac and took just a little more pain from him still being careful not to take too much since it could still very well kill me but couldn't help thinking how Stiles could do this even with some demonic force inside him, this clearly is not the boy I'd grown up with.
"Well then how to we get whatever's inside him the hell out of him?" I asked looking up since Scott was always the ray of hope and sunshine to this dark life we always seemed trapped in.
"I'm working on it" Scott replied and I nodded thinking he was still the never ending optimist out of us.
Mrs McCall came back and said it was time to leave so I reluctantly walked out with Scott and Allison and we headed to school already late as it is but I could honestly care less about school even though I'd made a big deal to Derek this morning about needing to come and honestly just felt like going home and cuddling up with Derek in our little bubble again.
"No Stiles' and no demonic ninjas"
"Things are getting to quiet" I heard the twins say making me walk closer towards the boys locker room where I knew them to be and knew they were talking to Scott.
"Yeah I know, yeah it's making me nervous too" Scott replied but then another sound caught my attention making me look towards the ground.
"Do you guys hear that?" one of the twins asked as they walked closer towards me then came out of the locker room.
"It's an emitter" I pointed out to them and they jumped surprised to see me standing there.
"One of Argent's" Scott added nodding at me.
"It's coming from the basement" Ethan pointed out before we continued to follow the sound which lead us into the basement and found Stile's standing there, he turned to us still holding the buzzing and loud emitter in his hand.
"Okay I know what you guys are thinking but it's me, I swear to god it's me" Stiles spoke up holding his hands out in front of him but the twins didn't hesitate and growled baring their fangs and eyes at him then charged hitting Stiles forcing him to drop the emitter then held him up by his throat against some lockers.
"Hey stop!" I yelled running towards them and tried grabbing their arms but one of them turned and pushed me backwards sending me flying into some shelves and heard my shoulder pop out of its socket.
"Stop" Scott yelled now interfering and threw one of the twins backwards. "I said stop!" the twin left standing dropped Stiles then growled baring his fangs towards Scott but Scott snarled back not deterred and forced Ethan/Aiden to back down.
"It's me, Scott I swear it's me" Stiles said when Scott looked at him then he looked down at me with pleading eyes as I painfully popped my shoulder back in. "Skyez I promise it's me, I don't know where I've been the last two days or what I've been doing but this is me, I promise" I frowned not sure of whether this was real or not.
"You know what happened at the hospital?" one of the twins spoke up.
"I know more than that" Stiles replied then grabbed some blueprints out of a bag. "You see this?" he unfolded the blueprint. "It's a blueprint of the hospitals electrical wiring, you see all these markings in red, that's my handwriting" I frowned looking at all the markings. "I know I did this, I caused the accident and everything in this bag it's all stuff that could be part of something bigger" one of the twins grabbed a small handsaw holding it up.
"What the hell have you been up to?"
"I think something worse" Stiles replied making me frown as I turned to Scott for his opinion but he just looked towards Stiles. "A lot worse" we started emptying out the bag Stiles had and what we pulled out was none to comforting, lengths of chains, duct tape, rope and all sorts of wires.
"What the hell were you doing building a terminator" one of the twins spoke up and I rolled my eyes as that wasn't helpful right now.
"Thank you for that" Stile's replied back sarcastically.
"Guy's this is a map" Scott interrupted and opened it.
"Isn't that the cross country track" I asked tracing the red outlined line.
"That's the Tate car where Malia Tate's family died" Scott pointed out.
"You mean that's where her father put the steel-jaw traps" we all looked up and realised what was going to happen when everyone reached the finish line.
We all ran upstairs and Stiles, Aiden and I jumped into Stiles' jeep to hopefully get to the starting line before the race started while Scott and Ethan hit the trail just in case we we're too late, we pulled up and I sighed loudly as we jumped out since we were too late.
"Coach!" Stiles yelled and ran up to him
"Stilinski…whoa"
"Coach listen close" Stiles quickly explained everything we thought was going to happen then we ran to catch up with the race. "Scott stop, stop, stop everyone stop" Stiles yelled as we all ran up then Stiles felt around the ground and pulled up a chain then followed it, it looked like a trip wire but it was nothing but a short length of chain.
"Congratulations Stilinski you found a length of chain" Coach said clapping sarcastically. "Can somebody now please tell me what the hell is going on" he was walking forward and that's when I saw the thin clear wire right in front of him.
"Wait Coach!" I yelled but it was too late he tripped the wire and an arrow shot right into his stomach.
"Oh crap" he collapsed to the floor on his back and we all ran to him as he started screaming as Scott and I tried to keep pressure on the wound which he wasn't making easy. "Get it out of me, get it out of me, get it out of me oh my god I'm gonna die get it out of me I'm going to die"
"Coach you're not going to die" I argued and seriously felt like knocking him unconscious.
"I'm going to die" he protested anyway.
"It will hurt less if you stop moving Coach" Aiden added.
"Get that thing out of me" Coach continued to yell and I prayed someone would punch him in the face.
"Stay still Coach an ambulance is coming" Aiden tried again but still Coach yelled. "Get back, get back give him some room get back" Scott let go off the wound then grabbed Coach's hand and I saw him take his pain I didn't know if he should be doing that so much today but thankfully it made Coach pass out.
"Thank god he passed out" I said and watched as they all looked at me. "Oh come on I wasn't the only one thinking it" I remarked and Scott rolled his eyes at me.
"I could have killed him, right what if it was his head or his throat" Stiles cut in holding up his bloody hands.
"But it wasn't" I protested still keeping pressure on the wound myself.
"He's going to be alright" Scott added.
"I think I just heard an ambulance coming" Aiden spoke up and I looked up hearing them now to.
"And my dad" Stile's added when he heard the sirens, when the ambulance finally came and got Coach inside we all stood back watching Sheriff Stilinski talking to Stile's before the two embraced as we waited next to the jeep.
"Hey you two better look at this" Ethan said making us turn and walk to the back of Stile's jeep and he pulled out more stuff like nails and wrapping paper but what was startling was it was the same wrapping paper we used on Coach's birthday present on mischief night.
"This is the same wrapping paper we used on Coach's birthday present" Scott said grabbing it off Ethan before I could.
"Wasn't that William Barrow's thing, a bomb made from nail and bolts all wrapped in a birthday present, where did it go off" Ethan asked us.
"On a school bus" I replied my eyes widening in realization so we quickly told the Sheriff who called the school right away before we all rushed back to school and while on the way I called Derek to let him know we found Stiles.
"Hey Der, we found Stiles and he's okay but it's all still complicated, so just uh call me back and I'll explain" I walked back over to Scott and we waited while Deputy Parrish checked if this bomb was real.
"It's not a bomb sir but there is something in the box" all us werewolves heard Deputy Parrish say over the Sheriff's radio then watched as he walked to the front of the bus and showed us the Sheriff's nameplate which sat on his desk at the Sheriff's station, we all looked at each other confused until again the werewolves heard the Sheriff mumble to himself.
"My god there is a bomb but not here" I looked up at Scott worriedly since both our dads we're there and when the Sheriff called ahead warning them we quickly ran over to Stiles' jeep hoping to get there before the bomb went off.
Derek's POV
I couldn't believe I was actually sitting in waiting for Argent to come up with a plan but then looked up when the Sheriff station seemed to fall into chaos and all the deputy's started running around.
"What's happening?" Argent asked as one started removing his handcuffs but we only got a worried look in return before he started on mine.
I slowed down the voices around me and focused on each individual sound before turning my head to look through the window into the Sheriff's office and heard the unmistakable sound of ticking which only meant one thing, I turned back to Argent as the ticking sped up into a constant beeping.
"Get down!" I yelled throwing myself over Argent as the bomb went off sending wood, glass and all sorts of other debris flying through the air.
Skyler's POV
We pulled up at the Sheriff's station and ran in but we're too late the bomb had already gone off, as soon as I ran in I looked around trying to locate my dad but my eyes fell on none other than my mate who was looking unsteady on his feet.
"Derek!" I ran over to his and grabbed his sides steading him. "Derek look at me" he met my eyes wincing.
"I'm okay" I turned him so I was looking at his back and saw it covered in glass imbedded in his skin.
"Oh my god you're not okay" I replied then looked up at Argent who was staring at Derek in shock.
"I'm okay, I'm okay" Derek continued to try and comfort me but he was seriously hurt so I grabbed his arm and started siphoning his pain away.
"You saved my life" Argent spoke up still staring at Derek in shock but I turned around and started looking for my dad again.
"Dad!" I yelled then finally saw him trying to help the wounded.
"Skye?" he looked up then stood as I ran up and hugged him. "It's okay sweetie, I'm okay" I cried shaking my head because this was so far from okay. "Go I don't want you seeing this" I frowned shaking my head.
"Skye the oni are coming we have to go" I heard Scott say but I wasn't leaving Derek while he was in pain, as much as I loved Stiles and wanted him safe my mate was my priority.
"Just go, keep Stiles safe" I replied then turned back to Derek and quickly grabbed his arm leading him away into one of the un-blown up interrogation rooms. "Sorry but this is going to hurt" he nodded sitting down on a chair as I got to work pulling the glass out of his back trying to ignore the winces he did after I removed each one then lifted his shirt to check the damage.
"How's it look?" I frowned running my hands over the deep gashes.
"Bad but your healing" I looked over seeing ambulances arriving. "Just not fast enough, they can't see this" I laid my hand on his back and took more of his pain but it wasn't going to heal him. "Alright just put your shirt back on and hopefully no one will notice" he nodded then pulled it on even though it had holes in the back. "God what are you even doing here?" I asked crashing myself into his arms.
"Scott's dad brought us here, Stiles framed us for murder" my eyes widened as I looked up hoping he was kidding but I could see it in his eyes that he was serious.
"Are we ever going to get a break?" I asked but didn't really want an answer. "Why is this always our lives, you running for your freedom and being framed for murder"
"Hey look at me, it'll work out because I'm not running this time" I frowned thinking about that and didn't really want him charged either.
"I don't fancy you in an orange jumpsuit Derek" he chuckled but that wasn't meant to be a joke.
"It wont get that far I promise" he replied then kissed my forehead but the moment was ruined when my phone beeped with a text from Scott.
At animal clinic, oni are here – Scott
"Go help, I'm fine now" Derek tried by I shook my head.
"No I'm fine here Scott can handle himself" I replied then wrapped my arms back around his waist and rested my head against his chest because this very well might be the last time I get to do it for a while until I convinced Agent McCall he's an idiot and Derek's innocent.
