You Can't Beat Me. ~A Vampire Dairies And Teen Wolf Crossover Lovestory~

76. Stiles's gone

The three of us met Melissa in the hospital and she brought us to Jackson's body. When she opened the black plastic bag everyone gasped. Jackson was covered in something transparent.
"What's happening to him?"
"I thought that you were gonna tell me. Is it bad?"
"It doesn't look good." I said looking at the thing that was covering Jackson. Suddenly Jackson moved
"Whoa!" Everyone said and we moved back
"Um, mom, could you zip it up, please?" Melissa looked shocked as well and she walked towards the table
"OK,OK,OK,OK, here we go." She zipped it closed, but the zipper got stuck right beneath Jackson's chin. She started freaking out and Jackson woke up. He was in his kanima-form and showed his teeth and screamed, but his eyes stayed closed.
"Mom, zip!  Zip! Zip, mom, zip! Zip!" Melissa zipped it close.
"Isaac, call Derek. Scott, try if you can get to Stiles."
"What are you doing, Cass?"
"I'm not taking my eyes of Jackson." They did what I told them to and like I said my eyes didn't leave the black plastic bag. Isaac pushed his cellphone in my hand
"He wanted to talk to you. They didn't really like what they found out." I nod and bring the phone to my ear
"Yes?"
"Cassandra, bring him to us."
"I'm not sure if we have time for that." I say when the bag start moving more and more
"Look, somebody actually made an animation of it. Maybe it's less frightening if we--" I heard Peter say from the other side. I heard a scream
"Nope, not at all. We should probably meet them halfway." I heard Peter again
"Cassandra, get him out of there now! Go now." Derek ordered
"We need to get him out of here." The boys grabbed them and I walked next to them
"Hold on, hold on. OK, go. Go, go, go, go, go." Scott, who was moving first, whispered. They carried Jackson in the bag outside and Scott dropped him.
"Oh!" Everyone looked shocked and a car stopped right after us. The lights went of and the door opened. We all looked at the person who got out.
Allison's dad!
"You're alone." Scott said
"More than you know."
"What do you want?"
"We don't have much in common, Scott. But at the moment, we have a common enemy."
"That's why I'm trying to get him out of here."
"I didn't mean Jackson."
"Who are you talking about then?" I asked, getting curious
"Gerard has twisted his way into Allison's head, the same way he did with Kate. And I'm losing her. And I know you're losing her too." Chris said to Scott, ignoring me
"You're right. So can you trust me to fix this? Then can you let us go?"
"No." I looked down. Somewhere I thought he was going to let us go
"My car's faster." He said and I looked back up. We lifted Jackson in the car and Chris drove us towards Derek and Peter. Isaac and me in the back on both sides of Jackson. Chris stopped where we agreed to meet family Hale, but you couldn't see them anywhere
"Where's Derek?" Chris asked and right then something ran over on hands and feet. Derek did a flip and showed his red eyes to Chris. He stood up and glared at Chris some more
"I'm here for Jackson. Not you."
"Somehow, I don't find that very comforting. Get him inside." Derek ordered and we carried Jackson inside the warehouse.
"Where are they?" Scott asked
"Who?"
"Peter and Lydia" Derek stood over Jackson and zip the bag open
"Whoa, hold on a second. You said you knew how to save him." I yelled
"We're past that."
"What about--"
"Think about it! Gerard controls him now. He's turned Jackson into his own personal guard dog. And he set all of this in motion so that Jackson could get even bigger and more powerful."
"No. No, he wouldn't do that. If Jackson's a dog, he's turning rabid, and my father wouldn't let a rabid dog live." Chris intervened
"Of course not. Anything that dangerous, that out of control - Is better off dead." I turned to Gerard that somehow sneaked inside without anyone noticing. Derek pulled his nails and was about to slash Jackson's throat when Jackson woke up and stuck his own nails in Derek's stomach. Everyone was alert now. Guns were pulled and I took a step back. I watched how Jackson held Derek in the air and throw his away
"Well done to the last, Scott. Like the concerned friend you are, you brought Jackson to Derek to save him. You just didn't realize that you were also bringing Derek to me." I heard the sound of a crossbow and I saw Scott duck for it and the arrow his Isaac in his chest.
"Allison?" Scott asked when he realized. I looked at Isaac, who feel down and ran towards him. Scott came to help me and we helped him to the back. I pulled the arrow out his chest and it already started healing. Chris was thrown away by Jackson and Derek jumped over wooden planks in his wolf-form and he growled. I went into my own wolf-form and flashed my special green eyes. I looked at my left side and saw Scott ready to attack. I looked to my right side and I saw Isaac do the same thing. Everyone went after Jackson and I saw Peter standing at the side, hiding. Allison went against Isaac with 2 knives and I saw Isaac fall down. She went after Derek
"Allison!" Scott yelled and Jackson grabbed her wrists. He threw her knives on the floor and grabbed her throat
"Not yet, sweetheart." Gerard said
"What are you doing?" Allison asks
"He's doing what he came here to do." Scott says
"Then you know."
"What's he talking about?" Allison and I asked in sync
"It was the night outside the hospital, wasn't it, when I threatened your mother. I knew I saw something in your eyes. You could just smell it, couldn't you?" I sat next to Isaac and I helped him up
"He's dying." Both of us said when I recognized the smell that was here the whole time. I looked at Isaac and I smiled
"I am. I have been for a while now. Unfortunately, science doesn't have a cure for cancer yet, but the supernatural does."
"You monster." Chris said and I remembered that Gerard made him kill his wife for it.
"Not yet."
"What are you doing?" Allison whined
"You'll kill her too?" Chris was almost crying
"When it comes to survival, I'd kill my own son! Scott." Gerard looked at Scott and he sighed. He went back to his human-form and walked to Derek. He looked at Allison and pick up Derek in his neck
"Scott, don't. You know that he's gonna kill me right after. He'll be an Alpha." Derek told him and I tried to move, but that would mean I'd have to drop Isaac so all I could do was watch
"That's true. But I think he already knows that, don't you, Scott? He knows that the ultimate prize is Allison. Do this small task for me, and they can be together. You are the only piece that doesn't fit, Derek. And in case you haven't learned yet, there is just no competing with young love." Gerard smirked while Scott looking at Allison
"Scott, don't! Don't!"
"I'm sorry. But I have to." He pulled back his head and Derek's mouth was wide open. Gerard rolled up his sleeve and was about to stick his arm in Derek's mouth
"Scott, don't." I said and our eyes met. He had a spark in his eyes. He knows what he's doing. Gerard started screaming and when he was done he showed his arm with the bite mark. A black fluid was streaming out of the bite. I was staring at it and Gerard noticed something was wrong
"What?" He looked at his own arm
"What is this? What did you do?" He asked Scott and Scott looked down at Derek
"Everyone said Gerard always had a plan. I had a plan too." Gerard took his pillbox and broke the pills in his hand
"Mountain ash!" Gerard was starting to lose his balance and the fluid started coming out of his nose, eyes and ears. He looked up and he started making weird sounds and a large stream of the fluid came out of his mouth before falling down for real
"Why didn't you tell me?" Derek asked Scott
" Because you might be an Alpha, but you're not mine." Gerard crawled and looked at Jackson
"Kill them! Kill them all!" Gerard lost conscious and I saw Jackson let go of Allison. She elbowed him in his face, and my attention went to the wall where a car drove right through and hit Jackson. I saw Stiles sit in the car with Lydia
"Did I get him?" I laughed until Jackson jumped on Stiles' car and he and Lydia screamed. They got out the car and while Stiles ran straight behind Scott, Lydia stood in front of Jackson
"Jackson! Jackson."
"Lydia!" Stiles tried to run to her, but Scott held him back
"Wait." I looked back at Lydia and Jackson and I saw Lydia was holding a key and Jackson looked at it. Jackson turned back into the scaled lizardman, but his eyes changed to his normal eyes and he took the key out of Lydia's hands and took a few steps back. I saw Derek getting up and he dug his nails into Jackson's stomach and Peter in his back. They lifted him in the air and when he was making a sound that sounded like he was dying they let him go. Before he fell completely down, Lydia caught him. They sat on the ground together and they looked in each other's eyes
"Do you-  Do you still--" Jackson asked
"I do. I do still love you. I do, I do still love you. I do. I do. I do still love you, I do." They hugged and the key fell down. I looked at Jackson and how Lydia laid him down. The last scales left his face
"Where's Gerard."
"He can't be far." Chris answered Allison's question. Lydia turned back to us and she stopped when she couldn't hold back her tears. Stiles walked forward to comfort her, but he stopped when Jackson scratched the floor. Everyone tensed and I watched Lydia turn back around. Jackson opened his eyes, blue, bright blue. He stood up and growled into nothing. His nails pulled back and he looked normal again. Lydia ran towards him and attacked him in a hug.
"Scratched my jeep." I heard Stiles say from behind me and when I turned around I saw he was crying. He walked towards his jeep and on his way I hugged him
"I'm sorry, Stiles. You'll find the one. Don't worry."
"I don't know, Cass. It doesn't look like it."
"Be patient. Luck will turn around." I let go of him and he walked to his jeep and sat behind the wheel. Not doing anything. I sighed He'll be OK, don't worry.

Scott took Allison home and I took Lydia and Jackson home. I didn't want to put that in front of Stiles. After that I went home and I took a long hot shower. Today, I made up my mind. I can't just stay here a whole summer.I already made my suitcase and I already rented a home and car for once I got on my destination and somehow I need to tell Scott and Stiles. We said we would gather on the Lacrosse field. I made sure I would be there before them so I left early. I waited for them to come to the field and I saw them coming from afar in Stiles' jeep.
"So you really think she's gonna come back to you?"
"Yeah, I know she is. What about you and Lydia?"
"Ah. Well, the 10 year plan for making Lydia fall in love with me may have to stretch to 15, but the plan is definitely still in motion."
"Why don't you just ask her out?"
"Yeah, OK. Why don't you just get into the goal and help me make team captain like you promised there, big guy."
"Hey, you know what I just realized? I'm right back where I started."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean no lacrosse, no popularity, no girlfriend. Nothing."
"Dude, you still got me and Cassandra. Right, Cass?" Stiles looked at me, but before I could say anything they were talking again and I swallowed my words
" I had you before."
"Yeah, and you still got us. OK? It's a life fulfilled."
"Very."
"Now remember, no wolf powers."
"Got it."
"No, I mean it. No super fast reflexes, no super eyesight, no hearing - none of that crap, OK?"
"OK, come on."
"You promise?"
"Would you just take the shot already?"
"I said no wolf powers!" I laughed when Scott still used his powers. You have to tell them, Cassandra. You can't just leave without telling them.
"Hey, guys, I need to tell you something." I sighed and Scott came out the goal and both of them came towards me
"I'm leaving."
"What?! Why?" They both yelled
"I have some businesses I nee to take care of."
"So you're leaving us?"
"I'm not leaving for ever. Just for summer. I think it'll be a normal summer and I'm everything except normal."
"If you think we don't want you here because of that whole 'You're special'-thing, then you're wrong. We need you, Cass. Don't leave."
"I'm sorry, Stiles. It's not about that. It's just something I need to do."
"Can you at least tell us where you're going?"
"No, I'm sorry. You'd just follow me there and I don't want you to put yourself in danger." I start walking back
"I promise I'll be back before school starts." I get in my car.
"I'll call, but you don't call me except it's an emergency and only then." I close the door
"I'll miss you guys." I mouth and they smile back sadly.

It's only for the best, Cassandra. I keep telling myself when I sit in the plane. I sighed and I already know this trip will change my life forever and for me...

Forever is a long time
