Shout out to Faye Cullen-Fraser for reviewing! Aw! Thank you so much :) I hate Jennifer too much to have her be of much importance ;) Enjoy!
Ashlee's p.o.v
"Ashlee, wake up" my head hurts. "Wake up, come on" my eyes open, disorientately looking around the..whatever i'm in. "Hey" I look towards the voice. I'm laying in Derek's lap in his car. Stiles in the backseat with us, Scott and Jennifer in the front seats, Scott driving. Derek helps me to sit up and I remember what happened. The tingling in my fingers confirms it, I had an attack. Derek leans in and kisses me. I know we shouldn't do this is front of them but I just don't care. I thought I was going to die. I still might die.
"Is she okay?" Scott asks, pulling up outside the hospital. When Derek doesn't answer because he's too busy kissing me, he turns around. "Derek!" Scott snaps. Scott growls when we don't pull back. Stiles looks over and see's us. He grabs Derek's arm to pull him back but Derek pushes Stiles back in his seat. "Derek, get off her" Scott growls. We pull back.
"You okay?" Derek asks. I nod. Then Derek's being yanked out of the car by Scott. Stiles comes over to help me get out. I see Scott punch Derek across the face, eyes burning gold. Derek looks up at him with red eyes.
"Thats my sister! What the hell do you think you're doing?!" Scott roars at Derek. Yeah..maybe telling Scott there wasn't anything going on between us was a bad idea.
"We need to get Cora" I say, getting between the two males. Scott glares at Derek.
"Stiles, help Ashlee walk. Derek, take Jennifer" Scott says, turning on his heel to lead us inside. Stiles' arm comes around my waist and I use him to walk, his other hand is occupied with Mum's wooden baseball bat. Derek's gripping Jennifer by her arm, practically dragging her. We run into Mum and she tells us that there's 2 more ambulances and both Cora and I need to be on them. We all get in the elevator. If Jennifer keeps opening her mouth, i'm going to rip it off her face. And eat it. Cora's not in her room. "Derek" Scott says. We look down and there's a black blood trail. Stiles pulls me behind him when we hear growls coming from the other side of the double doors. Peter gets thrown through them, sliding to our feet. Great. There's giant mecha twin roaring at us. And he's standing over Cora's body. Derek shifts, growling and running at him. Scott runs in after him.
"Stiles, let me go" I say, they need help.
"No, don't be crazy. You're hurt" he says, holding tight. The giant twin grabs Scott by the throat, lifting him up againist the wall. I hear his choked gasps and I snap. I launch out of Stiles' arms, shifting.
"No, don't!" Derek yells. I leap onto it's back, pulling it away so it drops Scott. I howl in pain when the twin back me into the wall, cracking my recently broken ribs. Stiles and Peter rush forward to get Cora. I fall to the floor. I see Jennifer getting the elevator. I growl and run at her. She smirks and that pain flares up, boiling in my chest. I fall to the ground in pain. Someone picks me up. "You're okay" Derek says, holding me in his arms, carrying me. I feel something soaking my shirt. I look down and my side is soaked with black blood..i'm..i'm dying? Black blood means dying for werewolves. Oh my god..i'm dying.
"D-Derek-" I say.
"No, you're fine. You're gonna be fine" he says, chasing after the others, away from mecha twin. I black out for a few sounds, jolting awake to crashing and the lights flickering before going out. I'm laid down next to Cora on surgical tables.
"C-Cora?" I call out, touching her hand. She's cold and unresponsive. Stiles starts to freak out because Jennifer's gone. Him and Derek start arguing.
"Look at them! They're both dying! Don't tell me to be quiet!" Stiles yells at Derek.
"Stiles, we can get Jennifer back" Scott says.
"All they want is her. And we don't have her which means that my Dad, Ash and Cora and all dead!" Stiles snaps. Scott and Peter come over to Cora and I.
"Are they really dying?" Scott asks sadly. Peter touches Cora's forehead and pulse. He reaches for me.
"I'm-i'm fine" I say, moving to get up. I stumble but get to my feet.
"Neither of them are getting better. Ashlee, sit down" Peter says.
"No, I need to help Cora" I say.
"You can't. Only I can" comes Jennifer's voice, walking through the doors. Scott grabs me as I growl at her. "I can save them both and tell you where Shrieff Stilinski is but there is a pack of alphas in this hospital who want me dead. So i'll help you but only when i'm out of here and safe. Only then" Derek throws a table across the room, going for Jennifer. Scott lets me go to grab him. I have to lean againist the wall to keep myself up.
"If you want to show you're one of the good guys then heal them" Stiles says. Jennifer refuses until she's out and safe. Peter suggests we torture her.
"Works for me" I say. Jennifer's gaze falls on me.
"Hurts, doesn't it?" she asks. I grit my teeth when the chest pains start up again. Derek growls and goes for Jennifer but we're all interupted by Mum's voice over the intercom. Deucalion wants Jennifer, if we give her to him then everyone else can leave. Jennifer tells us he won't hurt Mum and that Scott knows why.
"What does she mean?" Derek asks Scott.
"You're not the only one that he wants in his pack" Jennifer tells Derek. Everyone turns to Scott. Jennifer explains how Deucalion wants perfection in his pack.
"A true alpha" Peter says, looking at Scott. He tells us how they can rise to alpha through force of will and strength of character..they don't have to steal it. "Our little Scott" Peter says. Scott and Derek share a look. Scott tells us we have to get Cora and I out of here. He promises me that Mum will be fine. I cringe as Scott stabs a huge needle into Peter. A drugged look comes across Peter's face. I hobble over and read the label on the needle. Hmmm. I find a second one. I stab it into my thigh, emptying the contents into me. I feel my body rush with adrenaline.
"What did you do?" Derek asks, watching as I drop the empty syringe to the floor.
"I'm helping" I say. I can feel the arguement coming. So imagine my suprise when Derek peaks my lips and tells me I better make it out of here. "I will, I promise. Just get Cora out" I say, following Peter out. Peter, Scott and I stand before the alpha twins.
"Alright boys, lets rumble" Peter says. The three of us roar and run at Aiden and Ethan. They quickly form mecha alpha. We're like ragdolls, giant twin is just throwing the 3 of us into walls.
"Run! We need to run!" I yell, it's easily beating us. So we do, we run.
"We need to get you to the ambulance" Peter says.
"No, i'm fine, I can keep fighting" I tell him.
"That" he says, pointing down to my side where black blood is dripping from my soaked shirt. "That's not fine" he says.
"I am fine" I ground out. We hear the twins and the three of us are running away. I can feel myself passing out from blood lose. Scott catches me before I fall.
"We need to get to the ambulance" Scott says, picking me up bridal style and running out, Peter behind him. Okay..maybe I do need to get to the ambulance.
..
I open my eyes hazily and i'm in the ambulance with Cora and Stiles.
"Ash, are you okay?" Stiles asks.
"Wh-where's Scott?" I ask, getting up.
"He's fine, he's just getting your Mum" Stiles tells me, making me lay back down. I see the windows light up from the hospital. The power's back on.
"Where is..where's Derek?" I ask. Peter and Isaac are pulling Cora and I out of the ambulance and into the car before he can answer. All of a sudden, I see Stiles run off. "No, no! Stiles!" He runs into the hospital. I try to go after him.
"No! Your'e hurt!" Peter says. I roar and push away from him, chasing after Stiles. If the alphas find him, they'll kill him. I can't let that happen.
"Stiles! Wait!" I yell. I see Scott at the end of the hall and Stiles goes after him. I run after them as well.
"Mum!" Scott yells. Stiles and I run up behind him.
"They're gone" Deucalion says. "Guardians Scott. If you were with me I could have told you that. I could have warned you"
"What? Where's Mum?" I ask Scott.
"Jennifer took her" Deucalion tells me. I choke a sob.
"No, no" I say, shaking my head.
"Let me help you Scott, let's help each other. You help me catch her and i'll help you get your mother and Stiles' father back" Deualion says.
"Scott, don't!" I whimper as Scott starts walking over to him with tear-filled eyes,
"Scott. Don't do this, don't go with him" Stiles pleads.
"I don't know what else to do" Scott says, tears in his eyes.
"We'll think of something, we always have a plan B" Stiles says.
"Not this time" Scott says sadly.
"Scott, don't, please don't" I beg.
"I'm going to find Mum and John, i'm going to save you and Cora, promise" Scott says. I break down in Stiles' arms as Scott leaves with Deucalion.
"No" I whimper. Stiles rubs my back. Stiles starts dragging me back inside. We're walking out when black hair catches my eye. "No, please, no" I say, running to where Derek is laying lifeless in the elevator, on the floor. "Derek?" I ask. "Derek!" I shake him.
"Let me-" Stiles tries. I smack Derek across the face.
"Derek! Come on!" I plead, smacking him again. I shake him roughly. "Derek!" I smack him again. "Don't you dare die on me" I ground out through my tears. "Please wake up" I beg. I ball up my fist. I punch out and his hand flies up, catching my fist. He looks up at me with wide eyes. I pull him up and hug him tightly.
"Police are coming right now, we need to go" Stiles says, helping pull Derek to his feet.
"Cora?" he asks.
"With Peter" I say. They start to run but I can't, it's too painful. Derek runs back to me and lifts me into his arms. Everything gets blurry as we run. "D-Derek?" I ask softly. He's running so he looks down at me quickly and back up. "Jennifer's gone..she took Mum. And-and Scott left with Deucalion" I tell him, tears slipping from my eyes. Derek looks to Stiles for confirmation. Stiles nods and then stops.
"What are you doing?" Derek asks him, stopping too.
"Someone needs to hold off the cops, get her and Cora out of here" Stiles tells him.
"Stiles-" Derek tries.
"Go! Now!" he orders. Derek looks at him for a few more seconds before taking off in a run again. We get to his car.
"Stay awake, okay?" he says, putting me in the back seat so I can sort of lay down. I nod drunkenly. "Hey, eyes open" he says, grabbing my chin. I open them best I can.
"Okay" I grab his hand. "I'm holding on" I promise. He kisses my forehead before closing the door and going to the driver's seat. We find the Argents. Isaac and Erica are with tells them what happened, bringing Cora over and putting her in the passenger's seat so she can sit up. I lock eyes with Allison.
"What's happening to her?" Allison asks Derek, she sounds generally worried for me.
"Same thing that's happening to Cora" he answers.
"I'm coming with you" Isaac says.
"So am I" Erica says. Derek nods and they get in the back with me. "Is she dying?" she asks Derek as he drives away, her face scrunched up in concern.
"I don't know" Derek says. I slump over and hiss when I fall on my ribs. Isaac grabs me and pulls me to him. I'm about to object but he grabs my hand and starts taking my pain. Derek glances at us in his mirrors but the two share a nod. My eyes start to slip closed again.
"Hey, stay awake" Isaac says, nudging me. I open my eyes again for a couple seconds before they start closing again. "Do I need to flirt with you, make you dislocate my shoulder again to keep you awake?" Isaac asks. I chuckle, coughing up a little blood.
"N-No..i'm okay" I say in a raspy voice.
"Then stay awake okay? Stay awake"
..
Cora's laying on Derek's bed. I refused to take the bed, we could both fit but she's alot worse off than I am. She can barely breath, let alone walk or talk. I'm okay. I'm fine. She's the priority. I sit on the stairs, holding myself up with them. Derek's at Cora's side. Isaac starts asking alot of questions, my head's a blur so I don't catch all of them. He wants Derek to do something.
"They're dying, aren't they?" Isaac asks.
"I don't know" Derek mumbles.
"What are you going to do about it?" Isaac asks.
"I don't know" he says again. Isaac gets angry and yells at him.
"Isaac..enough" I say, my voice weak. He growls before storming out. Peter kisses my head as he passes me, going to Derek to explain Isaac's actions, that he's shifting from him to Scott. Erica moves to sit with me, helping me sit up. Derek starts taking Cora's pain, his face screwing up as he does. He lets her go when his breathing becomes ragged. Peter tells him to be careful which results in an arguement. Peter explains how his alpha spark could save me or Cora.
"If. If it works. It might not, it could just as easily kill you" Peter tells Derek.
"I don't care, I can save them" Derek says.
"You can save one of them" Peter says sadly. Derek looks at him with wide eyes. I feel Erica tense beside me.
"What?"
"If you manage to survive healing one, there's no way you could do it again. You won't have that alpha spark anymore"
"You want me to choose?" Derek asks, eyes becoming glassey.
"I don't want you to, you have too" Peter tells him. Derek steps closer to his Uncle.
"I..I can't choose" he says quietly. I pull myself to my feet, Erica's arms around me helping me.
"There is no choice" I say, walking over to them both. They both turn to me. "Heal Cora"
"Ashlee" Erica warns.
"But..you..you'll die" Derek says.
"If one of us has to die, i'd rather it be me" I say, mimicking his words to me at the pool.
"No, there has to be another way, where we can save you both and.." Derek says. I shake my head.
"There isn't. I'm sorry" I say with a sad smile. "Heal your sister"
"But.."
"Derek, heal your sister" I say softly. I leave Erica's arms and hobble over and hug him tightly.
"I don't want to lose you" he whispers, hugging me back.
"I know you don't" I say, nuzzling into his neck. "I'm sorry" I hide my tears in my shirt. "I don't want to lose you either" There's a knock at the door. Peter leaves us and answers it.
"We have a visitor" Peter announces. He walks in to reveal none other than Lydia Martin.
