Chapter 8!

Between Life And Death!

"Well this is great. I'm dead and I don't see a fucking light." I said looking around at a dim room with curtains covering the windows, an old style wooden door on the right wall. The walls were white and pale like a cream color. There wasn't any furniture in the room the floor was wooden strips pale like the walls and door. Almost like in an old sepia photograph.

"Where am I?" I asked and my voice echoed.

The room creaked and it was really creepy. "Is, this hell?" I asked quieter.

"You're not in hell, my son." A female voice said from behind me.

I turned but there was no one. "Mom?" I asked as my stomach dropped at the sound of her voice.

Suddenly before me a spotlight entered the room from the ceiling.

I watched as a figure walked into it and towards me it was my mother. She looked so beautiful her dark brown hair laid comfortably around her shoulders, she wore a white gown, she was barefoot as she stepped out of the spotlight and towards me with a smile and open arms.

"Stiles, I's so good to see you." She said wrapping her arms around me. I can feel her warmth her heart beating against my ear. Like she was really here.

"Mom, but how is this possible?" I asked confused.

"We're in an astral plain, when someone is close to death, their sent here until they return to their body, or die." she said pulling back.

"Am I going to die?" I asked.

"No, not for many more years." She said with a bright and warm smile.

"I've missed you so much mom." I said hugging her again.

"I've missed you too, honey."

"Wait so what happened to the Cryix?" I asked pulling away from her.

"He's in the crystal, once he's been destroyed he will be born into a family of neutral witches, based in protection and nature. He will grow to be a fine witch, Caelan will save many lives." She said with a warm smile.

"He wasn't the same thing that killed you was he." I asked knowing the answer already.

She shook her head, "No."

Erica fished her cell phone out of her pocket. Dialing a number and holding it to her ear.

"Get here now! Stiles has been stabbed!" She said ending the call and kneeling down to press on the wound.

"Derek, pull the rose out and be careful." Erica said grabbing the white towel from the hamper.

Derek wrapped his hand around the black crystal and pulled. The rose came free and blood began to squirt from his wound.

Erica quickly took her finger and jammed it into the small hole stopping the bleeding, she then began to take Stiles' pain, before covering his wound with the towel, pressing down around her finger.

"What are you doing?" Derek asked.

"I've been watching Scott's mom, I'm been interning as a nurse in my free time. I'm tried of losing people to the supernatural." Erica said as people appeared in a flash of light behind her.

"What the hell happened?" Caleb asked.

"We don't know." Erica said looking to Derek who shook his head.

Brien knelled down beside Stiles. "Shit, this is bad!" he said as Erica pressed down on Stiles' wound.

"Can you heal him?" Derek asked.

"N-no, it's to great a wound." Brien answered.

"But you can try right?" Derek begged.

"I-"

"You can't, it would kill you. To try something this big at your level." Lilith said concerned.

"I have to try. We've been an incomplete coven for to long, no way am I going to let Stiles die too." Forcing Erica's hands out of the way. Brien put his hand in the wound, stopping the bleeding as he placed his other hand over the wound, and his other hand.

Brien closed his eyes, focusing his energy. All of his energy on healing the hole in Stiles' heart. His hands began to glow as the healing started. He could feel the skin growing back around Stiles heart soon the hole was healed, now he lifted his finger out of the wound, trying to fix the rest. His energy was draining fast. He couldn't do it all, he knew it was going to kill him if he kept going his hands stopped glowing and he fell backwards into Lilith's arms, unconscious.

"Then how did you die?" I asked hesitantly.

"A Darach, no one knew how I got sick, but me. So my family claimed it was the witch killing disease. The disease was a curse, that was broken long before my birth many in my family died from it. I had to prevent the Darach from coming to beacon hills and taking your power, and the cost was my life." She said with sadness in her eyes.

"But I knew you and your father would be alright, I saw it many times." She said with a smile and tears in her eyes. "However, now my death was in vein, the curse I cast was broken somehow, and the Darach is already in Beacon hills." She said falling to her knees in tears. "I'm so sorry honey. I thought I was powerful enough to stop the Darach from coming after you." She said holding her head in her hands. "I just had to warn you. I couldn't let you walk right into the Darach's plan." She said i touched her shoulder.

"It's okay mom, I'm sure my friends and I can take care of this Darach thing. We have to or else nature would fall out of balance." I said pulling her to her feet.

"I'm so sorry honey."

"It's okay, sometimes things don't go as we plan, trust me I know." I said trying to comfort my mother.

She smiled and nodded.

I looked down at my hands and I was able to see through my hands.

"Looks like our time is up. You have to get back." She said hugging me again. "We will see each other again." She said as I began to fade more. "I love you sweetheart." She said and suddenly I was falling backwards fast.

Stiles opened his eyes, pain came rushing to his brain. He wasn't fully healed, his chest still had a hole, and blood still streamed from his wound. Erica placed the towel over the wound and pressed, causing Stiles to scream in pain.

"What the fuck!" Stiles yelled as the pressure made him realize he was still alive.

Derek grabbed Stiles' hand and began taking his pain, black veins crawled from Stiles' arms and into Derek's.

"Hello?" A voice yelled from down stairs.

"Up here!" Erica yelled.

"Who did you call?" Derek asked.

"I called Melissa. You know someone who can actually help." She said as Melissa rushed into the room with a small bag of medical supplies.

"What happened?" She demanded.

"He was stabbed with the crystal it had punctured his heart, but Brien healed his heart. But wasn't able to heal the rest of the stab wound." Erica said as Melissa looked at the wound as Erica pointed her flash light at Stiles' wound.

"Someone call an ambulance and Mr. Stilinski. I can't do anything until I have X rays. He's still bleeding and by the looks of it he's lost quite a lot. We need to get him blood, he's looking pale, what ever you did Brien, it might have saved his life." She said pulling out gauze and plugging the hole full as she pressed the towel back on his wound.

"Stiles, can you hear me?" Melissa asked.

Stiles faded in and out of consciousness, from the blood loss. "Mom?" He said in a daze.

"He's lost a lot of blood, we need to get him to the hospital, and fast!" She said as Derek moved, picking Stiles up into his arms not caring about his cloths.

Derek quickly walked to the hall and down the stairs with everyone close behind him.

"Erica, stay with Eli and Cari!" Derek yelled as she nodded.

"I will, what about Brien?" She asked looking back at Madison who was carrying Brien in his arms.

"He's alive, he needs sugar, he should be fine once he has something to eat." Madison yelled.

"Go, go!" Erica yelled as Derek left the house with Melissa.

"Where's my son!" Sheriff Stilinski yelled, as he burst through the hospital doors into the waiting area where Isaac, Scott, Lydia, Jackson and Allison were all sitting and waiting. Looks of disbelief in their eyes along with pity.

"Where is he, where is Stiles?" he said rushing up to them.

Scott stood and tried to calm the Sheriff down. "Sir he's okay, he just got out of surgery. He was taken to the burn unit."

Mr. Stilinski's eyes widened with fear. "W-what happened to him?"

"It appears he stabbed himself with the crystal." Scott said looking to the floor unable to understand why Stiles tried to kill himself.

"I-I don't understand." Mr. Stilinski said sinking into the chair he was closest too.

Lydia had tears in her eyes as she watched the Sheriff brake in front of them.

"Where is Derek!" Mr. Stilinski said with anger in his voice.

"He went to the burn unit with Stiles and Melissa." Scott said.

"Tell me everything you know!" The Sheriff said trying to calm down.

"Derek and Erica went for a walk with the kids as Stiles went for a nap. When they got back Derek found Stiles up in the bedroom with the rose still in his chest. He was dying, Erica came to the rescue and was able to stop the majority of the bleeding." Scott said sitting in the seat across from the sheriff. "The coven sensed Stiles' distress and came to him. Brien used most of his energy trying to heal Stiles' heart. It had worked and brought him back, but he didn't heal the whole wound, he was still losing blood so they rushed him here." Scott said.

"Why is he in the burn unit?"

"His hands," Scott sighed. "His hands have 3rd degree burns. We learned that when Stiles tried to touch the rose, the crystal would burn him, it was so bad one time that Brien had to heal his hands, just a few days ago." Scott said looking at his other friends, who looked as though Stiles had died. "That's why we think, he tried to get the Demon out of him, himself."

"No." Sheriff Stilinski said, standing from his chair. "No! He would never." The Sheriff brushed his hand through his hair in disbelief. "He would never try and kill himself!"

Yay! Stiles survived! More chapter's on it's way. I hope you review! :D
