The End Cure

chapter VII changing

"you can't?"
Scott was now mortified,
his stare deepened.
I closed my eyes so tightly, and when they opened I felt green and blue flames ignite behind them.
I dug my talons into my palms and pushed; they did not disappear.
I gridded my teeth together, but my fangs were still there.

"oh my god.."
Lydia looked as if she was about to cry,
and then she did.

chaos erupted so quickly.

it was too much.

"the screams.."
she cried, her screams being stifled by more cries.
"—for—you."
the words barely parted her lips before she fell back and from consciousness.
what's going on?
I couldn't think right, my thoughts began to swim, I hit the ground hard.
screams ripping my skull open.
"it's you."
the voices howled.
"it's you. it's you. it's you..."

a series of images flashed before me.
image after image, of vivid colors, and streaks of blood everywhere.
claws being ripped into flesh, bodies hitting the ground. the world almost being destroyed before me.
but not the world.
my world.

image after image, of the people I loved, covered in streaks of blood. their claws ripping into my flesh, my body hitting the ground. my world being destroyed before me.

I felt as if I was asleep for 5 minutes, but in reality, it had been hours.
tick.
tick.
tick.
tick.
the clock began to tick slower, and slower.
tick...
tick...
tick...
I gasped for air and everything spun around me.
"Lydia?"
stiles soft voice came into focus.
"Lydia? can you hear me?"
her eyes were open and staring into the the white of the ceiling.
to me it looked like she was having a seizure, just with no convulsions.
Malia and Kira approached her slowly.
the kitsune turned before me and fire erupted from around her figure.
she placed her hand to Lydia's chest, and sparks erupted from her fingertips.
the world around me began to spin, and again, I was put into a trance.
