Chapter 14 – The Eye of the Storm, Savion POV
I pulled into the hospital just as a Stiles' Jeep and a Toyota FJ Cruiser did. I got out of my car, the rain immediately soaking my hair and my clothes. Scott and Stiles were trailing behind Derek that had a grip on Jennifer's arm.
"Stiles! Scott!" I called out, stopping them at the steps. "What are you two doing here?!"
"Came here to get Cora." Scott explained.
"Yes, but what are you doing here with Jennifer?"
"We need her to save Cora, she has Cora under some voodoo spell or whatever. She won't lift it unless we get her out of here safely." Stiles interjected.
I ignored the baseball bat resting on his shoulder. "What?! We're here to kill her. The whole pack, we're all here."
"No-no, you can't!" Scott shook his head.
"We need her to find my dad." Stiles' voice was begging. "You have to stop them."
"I-I can't, we're all under orders…. I can't even stop myself." I pulled the scarf off my neck to show them the veins. Stiles and Scott looked at me with begging eyes. "I'll try to hold them off just to give you enough time to save Cora but if we get a clear shot at her, we're going for it."
"Good enough for me." They both nodded.
We all ran inside, them to Derek and Jennifer and I to find my pack and hold them off and follow orders at the same time. The halls were clearing of people as they get the last few patients out. The bright fluorescent lights were flickering as the power threatened to shut. I followed the faint growls and thuds, assuming they're coming from the twins somewhere in the hospital.
I turned the corner to find the twins; merged in their full alpha form, throwing Peter down the hallway. Cora was lying unconscious at their feet.
"Ethan! Aiden!" I called out. They let out a loud roar, completely ignoring me.
They charged down the hall at the other werewolves standing there, I ran to Cora's side; dragging her out of the brawl's way. I shifted as I watched Scott charge at the twins as well. I grabbed Derek from them and slammed him against the wall as they took care of Scott. I let Stiles and Peter slip pass to take care of Cora.
"Ethan, Aiden, stop!" Scott growled as the twins held him against the wall by his neck. "You don't know what you're doing!"
"All we want is her!" They growled back.
Derek and I turned to Jennifer to see her in the elevator with the doors about to close. I immediately got on my feet and ran towards the elevator, about a split second too late as the doors closed. I punched the elevator doors, leaving a dent on both sides.
I turned to see that everyone had made a run for it with the twins hot on their trail. I called out for them.
"Ethan, Aiden!" I yelled when I spotted them at the end of the hallway. They ignored me again and continued their pursuit to catch up to Derek.
I gave up on trying to slow them down and ran the other way to find the Darach. I ran down the stair well and entered the hall way, some of the lights have shut and the others made an incessant buzzing noise as they all threatened to turn off.
I found Deucalion and Kali standing by the elevator standing with a woman in a green scrubs suit and a grey cardigan thrown over it. Deucalion thanked the woman and addressed her 'Ms. McCall' as he took his cane from her and replaced the cap on the blade end. She was Scott's mother.
She put on a brave face but her heart was telling me otherwise. "You're him aren't you?"
"Him?" Deucalion raised a brow at her.
She tried to hide her nervousness as she saw me approach. "The bad guy." She replied. She gulped as I came closer and she spotted the veins and my eyes.
Deucalion smirked. "You have no idea."
Ms. McCall opened her mouth to say something but the power shut off, her heart rate rose when she saw my eyes glow momentarily but went back to black but Kali's and Deucalion's glowed in the shadows casted by the emergency lights. She was taking quick, shallow breaths as if she was having a panic attack. I wrapped an arm around her shoulders and rubbed her arm; hoping to comfort her despite how terrifying I must look to her. She was tensed up for a moment but relaxed once she realised I wouldn't harm her, I tried giving her a reassuring smile as we lead her to the front desk though I wasn't sure how that looked considering I had veins all over my skin and my eyes were completely black.
"All we want is the woman calling herself 'Jennifer Blake'." Deucalion nodded towards the microphone the hospital uses to address the building.
Ms. McCall gave me a nervous look and I gave her an encouraging nod. "Just do what he says."
She nodded and pressed a button before clearing her throat. "Uhm, may I have your attention please?" She paused, I squeezed her hand. "Mr. Deucalion. Ex-excuse me…" She blinked back the tears welling in her eyes. "Just Deucalion, request you bring the woman calling herself Jennifer Blake to the E.R. reception, do this and everyone else can leave. You have ten minutes." She lifted her hand off the button.
"Now, was that so hard?" Kali smirked and grabbed Ms. McCall's arm. She gave me a frightened look.
"Paws off, Kali!" I growled, ready to rip Kali's arm off.
Kali scoffed. "This is why you will never be the alpha you wish to be, you will never be like Talia Hale or like your mother… you are too afraid of casualties. You're an embarrassment to the Kroes bloodline."
"I'm sure my mother won't mind if I rip your beating heart right out of your chest." I stepped closer to her. "Get your hands off of her." I repeated, my face inches away from Kali's.
"Enough!" Deucalion ordered, I didn't budge but Kali immediately let go of Ms. McCall's arm and stepped back. He then told Kali to go find Jennifer and sent me off to find Derek.
I simply ran away and tried tracking Stiles' scent, him being human gave off the strongest scent out of all of them; making it easy for me to sniff him out even with the heavy rain. I ended up at the hospital's garage, the ambulance driver was on the floor with blood pooling around him. I knocked on the back door and Stiles jumped at the sound but opened the door for me.
"How is she?" I hopped in and swept the stray hair sticking to Cora's forehead.
"Lost her for a moment but she's… well she's holding on." Stiles sighed; he looked more exhausted than ever.
"I'm trying, Stiles. I really am." I gave him an apologetic look, I wasn't doing enough. I could help him but I can't do that without completely turning my back on my pack.
"I know you are." He nodded. "You're sitting here, reassuring me while you're shifted into a demon wolf when you should be ripping my heart out… I really appreciate that."
I gave him a tight smile and reached for the door handle. "We'll find your father… with or without Jennifer." Stiles nodded and I closed the door behind me; looking around to make sure that the area was safe and so were Cora and Stiles.
Once I was back in the hospital, I caught other scents. Other humans. I turned the corner to find Chris Argent, Allison and Isaac. Christ Argent immediately aimed his gun at me while Isaac and Allison took a defensive stance.
I rolled my eyes. "If I wanted to kill you, trust me the three of you would be dead by now." The three didn't relax. "What are you doing here?"
"We're here to help Cora." Isaac replied, still tensed.
"Well you're not really helping standing around here." I rolled my eyes again. "Cora's with Stiles at the garage, go find them." I turned to my heel, ready to run and find the twins.
"Wait!" Isaac stopped me. "Why are you here?"
I stopped for a moment. "I don't know." I murmured. "All I know is I have to help Stiles find his dad." It was true, that was the only thing I was sure of, other than that I wasn't really sure what I was doing. Before Isaac could say anything else I took off, trying to track the twins by their scent.
"Hey! I'd like to try something!" I heard someone yell, followed by some crackling and groaning. Then a loud thud. I turned the corner to see Ms. McCall and Scott standing over the de-merged twins.
The mother and son spotted me, I ran to Ethan and Aiden's side. "Go!" I yelled at them, I knew if they had stayed longer I would've gotten the urge to kill them. They scrambled and ran away from us. I held on to the twins' hands and took away their pain, making them recover faster.
"Where is she? Where's the Darach?" I questioned as the twins tried sitting up.
They both shook their heads and groaned. "I-I don't know, we lost them." Ethan rubbed his chest.
I gave out a frustrated sigh. "Alright, the Argents and Isaac are here. Be careful." I got up. I didn't know how I'm supposed to track the Darach. She didn't have a particular scent and I couldn't track her by sound; there were thirteen other people in the hospital… thirteen different heartbeats along with the irritating buzzing noise the lights were making.
As I roamed the empty hallways of the hospital, the power suddenly turned on. I heard something come from the elevator shaft, my eyes struggled to adjust as emergency lights shut off and the bright fluorescent lights turns back on. Right before my momentary blindness I saw someone slip through the elevator doors and run to the stair well. I followed as my eyes finally adjusted to the light.
I spotted the Darach about four flights of stairs ahead of me, I ran taking three stairs each step but she was still ahead of me. I considered running on all fours but decided against it considering the stair well was fairly narrow, it would be difficult for a five foot ten inches human to turn every flight. I heard a scream as we neared the roof, I burst through the door to find Jennifer in her real form holding Ms. McCall. She looked terrified, even more scared than how she looked when she first saw me as a demon wolf. They were standing on the ledge.
"Guardians…" I murmured under my breath. "You didn't want law enforcement."
The Darach tilted her head. "You do have brains."
"J-Just let her go." I shifted back to human. "She's innocent."
The Darach looked over her shoulder and at the ground. I quickly shifted back to my wolf form and started running towards them, taking that slim chance of saving Ms. McCall. But I was too late, before I could even close in the Darach pushed them off backwards, I leaned over the ledge to see them falling but black smoke swallowed them up about halfway and they disappeared into thin air.
I stared in horror; I could feel my heart breaking for Scott. Tears were stinging the back of my eyes. That's another one too late, another parent I could've saved. I could sense another wolf's presence and I knew it was Deucalion, he had seen the whole thing unfold and he didn't even stop it.
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, trying to push the tears back. "You knew… you knew all along." I shook my head, refusing to look at him.
Scott stumbled through the door. "Mum!" He screamed, his eyes then landed at me and Deucalion.
"They're gone." Deucalion stepped towards him. "Guardians, Scott. If you were with me I could've told you what it meant, I could've warned you. 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."
Scott looked at me, the way his heart was crumbling and desperation washing over him was clear by the look on his face. I could tell he was afraid, that he was lost. He had no other options. He started walking towards us reluctantly, but he lifted his feet with all the energy he had left.
Stiles appeared behind him. "Scott." He looked at his best friend in disbelief. "Scott, don't do this. Don't go with him."
"I don't know what else to do." Scott murmured.
"There's-Scott there's got to be something else okay, we always- we always have a plan B." Stiles begged, his tears were threatening to spill. His eyes drifted to me, as if asking for help and so did Scott's. My tears betrayed me and spilled, I shook my head telling them there wasn't any other way.
Scott turned to his best friend and shook his head. "Not this time." He turned back to us and started towards us again.
"Scott…"
"I'm going to find your dad." Scott promised.
Stiles called out for his best friend but he ignored him and closed up the space between us. Stiles started running towards us as we started to walk away. Deucalion signalled for me to restrain him and with no questions, I turned around and caught the teenage boy in my arms.
"Scott!" Stiles yelled as Scott and Deucalion disappeared in the thick fog. He tried to fight against my vice grip around him. "SCOTT!"
"Stiles…" I murmured, trying to keep him still. "STILES!" I roared, the boy settled in my arms, tears running down his face. "I'm sorry." I hugged him. "I didn't know." I let him sob into my shoulder for a moment; he then pulled away and wiped his tears.
It was heartbreaking, considering I hardly knew these kids it amazed me how much I cared about them. I guess it had something to do with me not being normal, I didn't get to live the life they have… well had.
"I promise you Stiles, I won't let her kill your father."
