Jade's p.o.v
"Cover your faces!" I yell to Stiles, Lydia and Kira. I wait a few seconds before focusing all my energy and feeling my hands fill up. I squeeze them both closed and like with Daniel, the 4 hunters explode. Skeleton frames and chunks of flesh are held off the ground in my water octopus arms. I hear quick footsteps. I look over the hill to see that I only got 3 of the hunters, 1 of them managing to escape. I gather all my energy, forming a large wave again.
You can do it.
I hear Derek's voice flow through my head from back when we were practicing the wave back at The Forest of Nisene Marks State Park.
Breathe, you can do this. Think of your pack, your family. Think about Scott. Think about your Nana.
I take a deep breath, bringing the wave up.
They're trying to hurt Scott. You have to stop them. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1-
I force the wave out. I watch as it charges down the hills, surrounding and drowning the last hunter. It crashes againist the back door of the training room, making it fly open. I feel my head swim, vision swarming. I stumble.
"Jade!" I hear Stiles yell before I black out.

Derek's p.o.v
A loud sound fills the air before water is gushing through the door. It takes us all under, breaking the mountain ash barriers. As soon as we can stand, we all turn towards Araya, shifted and ready to slaughter her. Much to my suprise, Cora's finishing take care of her before I can even move. She looks up at me, blood dripping from her mouth and fangs from tearing Araya's throat out. I give her a nod and she nods back. I turn back to the pack, everyone's helping the other's up. That was strong. That was alot of water. Then a body floats in the door. Ruined. Jade! I look up and see the others on the hill. I take off in a full sprint, running up to them.
"Jade!" I yell. I find Lydia at Kira's side. Kira's bleeding black blood, Lydia's holding her hands over the gunshot to her stomach. "SCOTT!" I yell, ushering the alpha up to help them. "Where is she? Where's Jade?" I ask the two girls.
"Derek!" Stiles yells. I take off, following his voice. I skid down beside him. He's holding Jade in his lap and she's not moving, her eyes closed.
"What happened?" I ask, searching for her pulse.
"I-I don't know. She just..she lost it Derek. I've never seen power like that before. She just passed out afterwards" Stiles says, wide eyed. I nod, I know, I saw the aftermath of it.
"She's got a pulse" I say. I focus my hearing, putting a hand over her stomach.
Thump, thump. Thump, thump.
"So does the baby" I sigh in relief. "We need to get her inside and get her warm" I say. I take her in my arms, lifting her up. "Get Deaton on the phone, tell him what happened" I tell Stiles. I start running Jade back to the house. The downstairs training area is flooded out so I go around to the front of the house.
"Derek! What happened?!" Cora says, catching up to me.
"I don't know, she passed out" I tell her. I take her into the spare room, laying her down on the bed. "They've both got a pulse" I tell Cora. I take Jade's hand in mine, trying to take her pain. "I-I can't take her pain" I panic.
"Hey, hey, she's okay" Cora says. "I don't think she's in pain" I look up at Cora. "I think she's just drained all of her energy. Performing something like that..wouldn't have been easy for her. Especially now that she's carrying. She'll be okay" Cora assures me. Stiles comes running in.
"Deaton's on his way now, he said he'll be here at dawn tomorrow" Stiles tells me. He comes over, looking down at Jade. "Is she..?"
"They've both still got a pulse, thready" I tell him and he nods, looking worried. "What else did Deaton say?" I ask him.
"Just to keep her warm and on her back" Stiles says.
"Cora-" I start.
"I'll grab blankets" she finishes for me, leaving the room.
"Derek, Kira's been shot. We need you to help her" Stiles says. I look between Stiles and Jade. "Cora and I will stay with Jade. You're the only one that knows how to perform the cure properly. Please Derek" I nod reluctantly. I lean down and kiss Jade's forehead.

Stiles' p.o.v
I watch as Derek leaves. I know he didn't want to but they need him. Cora comes back in and we tuck Jade in so she's warm.
"Everyone else okay?" Cora asks me.
"Derek's helping Kira now. Apart from that, it's just Jade" I tell her. "You should have seen her" I say, chuckling sadly.
"I could feel her power" Cora says.
"It was like she was covered with a spirit animal. She was inside an octopus, made of water. She tore those guys apart like they were nothing" I tell Cora. "She's so powerful"
"Mum always told me water kitsune were the strongest. That's why the hunters wanted to wipe them out first" Cora says.
"Well they didn't get her or her Nana" I say, brushing Jade's hair out of her face.
"That wave..it took all of us out inside" she tells me.
"It was like a tsunami. Wait..everyone? Did Araya escape?" I ask her. Cora shakes her head.
"I took care of her myself" Cora assures me. I don't ask anymore questions, I don't ask how. If Cora's anything like Derek, it would have been bloody. Kira's screams fill the air. Jade stirs and Cora and I look down at her. Her face screws up but she won't wake up.
"Hey, J?" I say, shaking her softly. When Kira's screams die down, Jade relaxes again. "You saw that right?" I ask Cora. Cora nods.
"They're connected somehow, strongly connected" Cora says.
..
Scott's p.o.v
I hold Kira's hand and take her pain as she cries out. Derek has to burn the bullet's gunpower and shove the powder into her wound. She slumps, covered with sweat when it's over.
"Hey, you're okay" I say to her, brushing her hair out of her face. She nods.
"Th-thank you" Kira says to Derek.
"It's okay" he says, smiling sadly. I look at him and he's upset. I motion for Lydia to come over to Kira. I help Kira to lay down on the couch. I kiss her forehead.
"I'll be back" I say to her. Lydia comes to Kira's side and takes my place.
"It's okay, ch-check on Jade" she says. I look at Derek and he motions for me to follow him. He takes me into the spare room, shutting the door behind us.
"Jade?!" I rush to her side, Stiles and Cora are in here with her. "Oh god, what happened?" I ask, looking between them all.
"She's drained, she passed out" Stiles tells me. "They're both okay"
"We need to call De-" I start.
"Deaton's already on his way. I called him, he'll be here at dawn" Stiles tells me. I take Stiles into a tight hug.
"Thank you" I say. I pull back and sit down beside Jade. She's not moving at all. Her chest only rises and falls a little as she breathes. I focus my ears, checking I can hear both of their heartbeats for sure. I can. I sigh in relief. I look over and Stiles is hugging Derek, the older male is actually crying, a few tears, but still. He's that worried about Jade. I know i've given him alot of crap about getting Jade pregnant but he's proved he'll do anything for her, that he really loves her and will protect here and their baby the best he can. "Derek, come here" I say. Stiles lets him go, rubbing his back. I move so he can sit at Jade's side. He smiles and nods his thanks, sniffing back more tears. I nod back and he takes her hand. "Come on" I say to Cora and Stiles. "Let's leave them in here" they nod and Cora drops a kiss to Derek's head and brushes her hand down Jade's arm softly before following Stiles and I out. I close the door, leaving the two alone in there. Derek needs some privacy. And all of us surrounding Jade won't do anything to help her.
"Is she okay?" Lydia asks, everyone looking to me.
"She's not waking up" I tell them honestly.
"What about the..the baby?" Liam asks.
"They're both okay for now. Deaton will be here at dawn. Everyone settle in for the night. Derek will stay with Jade, we'll leave them alone in there" I tell them. They nod. I move to Kira's side, sitting down on the floor beside the couch she's on. I take her other hand in mine. I bring it to my mouth, kissing it softly.
"I'm okay" Kira smiles tiredly.
"You need some rest" I say.
"Can I come lay down with you?" she asks. I smile softly and nod. We have beds set up from the nights we've already been here. I lift Kira up, placing her carefully on the double mattress we've been sharing. I've already gotten her into warm clothes, the others have too. I bring the blanket over us, making sure she's warm. "Jade's strong, she'll be okay" Kira whispers. I nod.
"I know" I say hopefully. Cora locks up the house, turning the lights out and closing the curtains. We should be able to relax, the threat is gone..except noone can relax. But now Kira's hurt but healing, Jade won't wake up and we have to wait for Deaton. We can't relax. We can't catch a break. We never can. Please Jade..please be okay.
