Chapter Six (Allyssa's POV)
I had been making Isaac stay with me because I was worried about him and didn't want to let him out of my sight, not only because of what happened to Erica, but because of the big fight at the abandoned mall with the alpha pack. We were all there Isaac, Boyd, Derek, Derek's sister, Cora, Scott, and I. I remember I had looked up at a point during the fight and saw Allison with her bow, I had covered my eyes quickly in case I was right about what type of arrows she was using, good thing I did. The fight had gone on for a while but had ended with the death of Ennis, and Derek. It hurt to hear his name, or to even think about him. I had to keep my mind off of it and I think that's why I was keeping an eye on Isaac.
Isaac had a lacrosse meet today about five hours out of town and Allison didn't want to let Scott out of her sight, so she and Lydia were following the bus. I had asked to go with them because I didn't want to let Isaac out of my sight either, especially with one of the alpha twins on the bus. Every now and then I would catch myself tearing up thinking about Derek and I would grow a claw and scratch myself on the leg to snap me out of it. I heard Lydia's phone ring. She answered and I could hear Stiles on the other line.
"Hey Stiles, yeah we're just about to head into a movie, got the popcorn," He interrupted her. "Yeah okay." She put him on speaker.
"Guys, Scott isn't healing." Allison and I jumped up.
"What do you mean he isn't healing?" She asked.
"I mean he isn't healing as in he is bleeding black blood."
"Well what does that mean?" I jumped in.
"I don't know; do I look like I have a Ph.D. in lycanthropy?" Allison answered him.
"Stiles, there is a rest stop a couple of miles ahead, see if coach will pull over."
"Yeah I've tried that." I replied to him this time.
"Well try reasoning with him!"
"Have you met this guy?" Stiles said loudly.
"Just do it okay?" Allison and I said in unison.
"Fine!" Stiles said and then hung up. I could see him get up on the bus and walk up to coach. A couple minutes later the bus was pulling into the rest stop and people were rushing off of it. Coach was yelling something out the window. I ran to Stiles.
"What did you do to make him pull over?" I asked curiously.
"Made Jared throw up." He said smiling.
"Nice." I said right before Scott came down the steps of the bus. Allison ran towards us and we each put one of Scott's arms around our shoulders. We walked him to the bathroom. Allison pulled up Scott's shirt.
"Holy shit, why isn't it healing?" I asked Stiles.
"He thinks it isn't healing because it is from an alpha, when Ethan, Isaac, and Boyd are already healed, not to mention you."
"Wait, what if he is keeping himself from healing because he thinks Derek was his fault?" Lydia asked.
"You mean like psychosomatic?" Stiles asked.
"Somatoformic." Lydia corrected him.
"So what do we do?" Allison and Stiles said in unison. Lydia went into her purse and pulled out a sewing kit.
"Stitch him up." Allison grabbed the kit.
"Do you know what you're doing?" Stiles asked concerned. I nodded answering for her.
"Uncle Chris taught her. Stiles I am going to go find Scott an extra shirt and I need you to keep people from coming inside. Lydia you come with me." We left Allison and Scott alone. Isaac walked over to me.
"What's wrong?" He asked me.
"Scott isn't healing because he feels responsible for Derek's death. I have to go get him a shirt." Isaac nodded and left. I grabbed a shirt and ran back into the bathroom, Allison had Scott all stitched up by the time I got back.
"We need to hurry, coach is ready to leave." I said putting the shirt on Scott. I noticed he wasn't breathing. "Allison! He isn't breathing. Scott! Wake up!" I was about to lay him down and give him mouth to mouth when Allison walked over.
"Scott! Wake up! Don't you do this to me!" We started shaking him and he gasped for air.
"It's my fault. It's my fault Derek is dead. I'm sorry Ally."
"No, don't say that." I replied to Scott.
"It wasn't your fault." Allison said. "We need to get to the bus though." Scott got up slowly and put an arm around each of us. Lydia was waiting for us outside.
"We still need to stop and get gas." She said.
"I'm not leaving him." Allison replied to her.
"Then we'll have to leave the car here."
"Sounds good." Lydia stopped walking.
"That wasn't an actual suggestion." We continued to walk and saw a large commotion. We walked up and asked Stiles what was going on.
"Isaac snapped when he heard about you and he went after Ethan." Scott walked over to them and yelled Isaac's name, snapping him out of it. Isaac walked over to me.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" I yelled at him. He didn't answer. Coach loaded everyone onto the bus. I sat with Isaac, Allison sat with Scott, and Lydia sat with Stiles.
(Derek's POV)
It was so hard to walk; I could barely hold myself up. I recognized a red car in the high school parking lot. It was the car of the teacher I saved the other night. I stumbled for it, touched the window startling Jennifer, and then collapsed. She helped me into the back seat and drove me back to my apartment.
