Mad World // Stiles Stilinksi [1/2]

43

They made their way outside the front of the hospital and Lucy saw a sparking power line in front of Kira's face. The line suddenly gained a mind of its own. It went after her and she walked backwards. An ambulance appeared, speeding around the corner, and right into the electric line. The driver started losing control and ran into a fire hydrant. Water started spouting from it. Allison and Isaac showed up and she went to help the driver and Isaac pushed her away. Lucy briefly saw his life flash before her eyes and cried, "Isaac!"

He turned to her as the electricity and water combined, and he started convulsing.

Kira somersaulted over a car and grabbed the wire before it could hurt anyone else. She covered the sparking end with her free hand and her eyes started glowing an amber color. Her mom appeared and Lucy ran over to Isaac. "Come on, Isaac. Breathe. You gotta breathe!"

Lucy started CPR and someone took him in on a gurney a short while later. While standing away from everyone, she heard Deputy Parrish mention that Stiles' Jeep was seen leaving the hospital.

Derek and Scott walked up to Lucy. "You have to tell Stilinski. You have to tell him what's really wrong with Stiles. Lucy, he might listen to you."

Scott and Lucy met up with the sheriff and Scott asked, "Any news?"

The sheriff shook his head. "They're still looking for him. It's past the 48-hour mark, but I guess if anyone's going to be missing for two days and turn up just fine, it's Stiles."

"And Isaac?" Lucy asked, crossing her arms.

Sheriff glanced to her. "Maybe we should go by the hospital before the school."

"Sheriff?" Deputy Parrish called.

"Yeah."

"He just needs your signature. It's just printer cartridges and stuff."

Lucy said to the group, "I'm going to the hospital to help Allison. If you guys find something, let me know."

As soon as Lucy arrived, she asked Allison, "How long have you been here?"

Allison met her eyes with a tired smile. "I've been here all night. They won't let me see him because I'm not family. I told them he doesn't have any."

Melissa joined them and smiled. "He's got us. And I've got a key card. Be quick."

They walked into Isaac's room and Allison glanced at Lucy worriedly. "I thought he'd be healing by now."

Scott frowned. "So did I."

"Is he in pain?"

Scott took Isaac's hand and gave them a nod. Black veins crawled up his and he let out a gasp. "It won't heal him, but it helps with the pain."

Allison's voice took on an angry tone. "Did Stiles really do this?"

Lucy frowned. "No. Stiles couldn't hurt a fly if he tried, but the thing inside of him definitely could."

Allison nodded. "Well, then, how do we get whatever's inside of him the hell out of him?"

Scott and Lucy shared a look and he said, "We're working on it."

Something caught the attention of the werewolves and Ethan asked, "Did you guys hear that?"

"It's an emitter," Scott realized. "One of Argent's."

"It's coming from the basement."

They made our way down to the basement and as Lucy was readying to draw her sword, a figure appeared. It took her a moment to recognize that it was Stiles. He held up his hands and she saw the emitter in his right hand. "Okay, I know what you guys are thinking, but it's me. I swear to God, it's me."
