Lydia was gone and so was her car but now we were trying to figure out if this Stile's was the real one since we had been tricked before, Deaton had to leave to go to the school and help Allison with the twins and Isaac who was up and better something about the nogitsune had them in some sort of trance and I wondered if that was what happened to Derek I had to find him but I wanted to make sure this was Stile's first, my mom and I were taking his vitals before Scott came in
"Is she here" Stile's asked "Yeah okay let's do this" I hated this plan we all looked at each other sceptically "Guys we have to do this" Scott and I helped Stile's downstairs where Kira's mom was waiting with her oni
"Do you recognise me" she asked Stile's just as Kira ran in telling us to stop
"It's okay I'm the one who asked her to come" Stile's said approaching them
"You're the one who is stabbed with swords, mom don't do this to him" Kira argued
"It's already done" she replied then the oni appeared and tested him the same way they did all of us then they disappeared "Look behind his ear" we looked and saw the backwards five
"It worked" I said sighing in relief
"So I'm actually me" Stile's asked and got up
"More you then the nogitsune" Kira's mom replied
"Can the oni find him" Stile's asked her
"Tomorrow night it's too close to dawn now"
"Can they kill him?"
"It depends how strong he is"
"What about Lydia why would he take her" Scott asked
"He would only take her for an advantage" she replied
"You mean her power" I asked
"The power of a banshee"
Kira and her mom left and Scott and Stile's went to the Sheriff's station to see his dad finally himself but I didn't I had to find Derek who still wasn't answering my calls and I was worried now but I couldn't find him so I put my efforts into finding Lydia trying to pick up a scent but couldn't pick up a single one I was running through the forest trying anywhere to pick up one when I ran into the twins
"Anything" I asked them making them turn and look at me with surprise
"Nothing no scent, no tracks nothing" Aiden replied still crouched on the ground from when he flipped over the tree, he went to stand up but Ethan put a hand on his shoulder stopping him and I knew then that we all heard that
"Did you hear that" Ethan said
"It sounds like…"
"A round being chambered" I cut him off then we started running as shots started to fire at us I saw Aiden get hit then Ethan so I ducked behind a tree "Ethan" I asked peering around the tree
"Wolfsbane" I heard him say "Aiden" more gunshots fired then stopped I ran from my hiding spot and helped Ethan carry Aiden but we couldn't carry him for long as they were both shot and I couldn't hold up both their weights, Ethan lost his footing and we fell forward
"Ethan we have to keep going" I said but then we heard footsteps coming towards us and I thought this was it but it was Derek he helped me and Ethan stand then grabbed Aiden's arm putting it around his shoulders
"Run" Derek yelled so we all ran as more shots fired around us, we ran to Malia's coyote den where we stayed waiting out the shooter
"Where are we" Aiden asked painfully as I looked over their wounds, they were bad and I knew that if we didn't get them help soon they were going to die
"It's a coyote den, stay quiet" Derek said coming back in
"Did you see the shooter, do you know who it is" Aiden asked though a painful wince
"No I was a little busy getting you two and my mate out of there, who else did you two piss off" he asked them
"We pissed off everyone" Ethan replied "It was only a matter of time before someone caught up to us"
"Well the bullets have Wolfsbane in them so if I don't get you out of here soon, the poisons going to spread" he shot a worried look my way "Stay quiet, I'll be back" it was my turn to be worried
"Derek wait" I said grabbing his arm
"Stay with them" he kissed my forehead then left
"He…he really loves y…you" Ethan coughed quietly
"Were mates" I replied shrugging
"It's more than that werewolf mates don't always end up together, when we first came here with Deucalion we had heard stories about Derek's human mate that she was an empath and had the potential to be a powerful Alpha but we never anticipated you or the bond you share with him, we thought that you were just a trophy to him that's why we used you as bait" I looked at Aiden as he said this
"We're sorry Skyler" the both said and I nodded because I wasn't sure what to say I don't know if I'll ever be able to completely forgive them for everything they did when they were Alpha's but knew everyone makes mistakes
While we were waiting for Derek to come back I felt my phone vibrating in my pocket, it was a text from Scott saying they knew where Lydia was, I could see the sun setting and knew I had to help, I turned to the twins
"They found Lydia, I'm going to help" I went to leave the cave
"What about Derek?" Ethan asked me
"He…he told you to stay here" Aiden added
"I don't always do what he wants, don't leave he'll be back" I left the cave and got Scott and Stiles to pick me up at the edge of the reserve, I jumped in the back with Isaac then sent a text to Derek saying I'm fine but I left the cave and is helping the others find Lydia
I looked at Stiles as he sped out back onto the road and noticed he didn't look to good which worried me and made me wonder if he was really okay now that he wasn't being possessed by the nogitsune
"Hey, you okay" Stiles asked Scott
"Yeah" Scott replied looking at him "Yeah, you don't have to worry about me"
"Alright I'm going to say it, you look like you're dying, your pale, your thin and you look like you're getting worse" Isaac spoke up voicing what nobody else wanted to say "And were all sitting here thinking it, when we find the other you is he going to look like he's getting better" I sighed
"What happens if he gets hurt?" Scott asked Stiles
"You mean, if he dies, do I die, I don't care" Stiles replied scaring the crap out of me "Just so long as nobody else dies because of me" he turned and looked at me and Scott "I remember everything I did, I remember pushing that sword into you I remember twisting it" I was confused as to when this happened but still made me worry
"It wasn't you" Scott argued with him
"Yeah but I remember it, you guys got to promise me, you can't let anyone else get hurt because of me" I saw Stiles look at us in the rear view mirror as we all shared a look, I wasn't okay with any of this but nodded along with Scott as my phone started ringing with Derek's face flashing, I picked it up nervously
"Skye what are you doing I told you to stay in the den with the twins" I sighed and rubbed my neck
"I have to help Derek, I'll be fine" I replied
"Skye this doesn't feel right you should have waited for me"
"I'll be fine" I said again trying to make him believe it even if I didn't since we had no idea what was going to happen or what we were going to find "I love you Derek" I added and saw all the boys look at me, Scott and Isaac could hear Derek as well which made tears come to my eyes at his reply
"Don't say that, you tell me that later"
"Just say it Derek, in case something happens" I replied forcing myself not to cry
"No, I'm not saying it Skyez because you will do everything in your power to make it back to me, do you hear me"
"Derek" I sighed and heard him exhale
"Skyler no…I'm not…I'm not going to have…" he stopped and sighed "I love you too Skye so please be careful" I wanted to reply 'I will' but couldn't because I knew I would do anything to save the one's I care about and this time that was Lydia
"Bye" I said instead
"Bye" he replied then I hung up and let a single tear fall as Isaac put his arm around me and pulled me close as we pulled up and got out then walked to the gates, everyone started looking at each other and I seared this memory into my brain in case this goes wrong
"We've done this before guys" Scott said and I rolled my eyes at his attempt of a last speech "A couple of weeks ago we were standing around just like this and we saved Malia, remember" he added nodding at Allison "That was a total stranger, this is Lydia"
"I'm here to save my best friend" Allison replied
"I came to save mine" Scott and I said at the same time looking at Stiles
"I just didn't feel like doing any homework" Isaac cut in making us all look at him then we walked into the camp, Isaac, Allison and Kira went one way while Scott, Stiles and I went into the building to find Lydia, Scott and I stopped sampling the air and picked up Lydia's scent
"She's here" I said looking at Stiles behind us
"This way" Scott added and we started following her scent and finally found her inside some sort of round room with a gate closed
"Lydia, are you alright" I said as we ran up to the gate
"No, no, no, no why are you here" she said as we opened the gate to let her out "You weren't supposed to be here, didn't you get my message"
"Lydia what's happening" Scott asked her
"Who else is here, who came with you, who else is here" she yelled
"Everyone, we came to save you" I replied then we all started running towards the exit, I could feel the others were in pain so when Stiles and Lydia stopped I kept running with Scott as more pain spread through my body that I knew was from Isaac
Scott and I ran out just in time to see Allison get stabbed by one of the oni right through her heart, Scott pushed the gate open and ran to her catching her then cradled her against him as she gasped for breath, Kira ran to her mom as I ran to Isaac and checked him over before turning back to my twin brother and Allison who I knew couldn't survive something like this she wasn't like us, she couldn't heal
"Allison" Scott whispered
"Did you find her, is she okay?" Allison asked still gasping for air which means her lungs have been punctured "Is Lydia safe?"
"She's okay, yeah" Scott replied brushing her air out of her face then tried to take her pain "I can't, I can't take your pain"
"It's because it doesn't hurt" Allison said and I knew what that meant
"No" Scott protested knowing as well
"It's okay"
"No Allison" they were both crying
"It's okay, it's okay" he sobbed "It's okay, it's perfect I'm in the arms of my first love" I felt my own tears falling down my face as I watched my brother cry "The first person I ever loved, the person I'll always love, I love you Scott, Scott McCall" she had blood on her lips now
"No, please don't, Allison don't please" I couldn't imagine what Scott was going through, I could feel his every emotion right now but it was different to actually experiencing it
"You have to tell my dad, you have to tell my dad, tell him…" she started stuttering then she was gone, all us werewolves heard her heart stop beating
"No!" Scott cried as her hand fell to the ground out of his and he started sobbing over her body as Mr Argent ran in and saw what had happened, I stood from Isaac and walked over to my brother and put a hand on his shoulder and tried to provide some metal comfort with my ability but knew it was useless because no amount of comfort could help him through this right now
