SIXTEEN 

The thunder crackles above Beacon Hills at the hospital. So much chattering was going on in the hospital, so many injuries, and there's a storm to top it all off. 

A branch goes through the windows, smashing it. "Whoa, okay, all medications should be sealed inside the plastic bags, and the patients carry it in their hands," Mum tells everyone who gathered around her, I stand next to her, watching everyone leave. "When you've completely evacuated the room, you mark the door with a red X, okay?" 

Everyone left, and mum turns to me. "Do you need any help?" I asked, rubbing my arms. 

"I think you should go home and rest sweetie, you were almost just sacrificed." 

"Here, sit down," Stiles said and sat me down on his bed. I was still shaking. Ms. Blake had taken the Sheriff, and I was almost killed. Stiles had sat down beside me. "Here, come here, I know," Stiles mumbled, pulling me into him an I let out a big sob, tears falling down my cheeks. 

What Ms. Blake had called me... a Banshee. The wailing women. I and Lydia are connected. Stilinski gone. Me almost getting killed is all way too much for me. "Shh," Stiles mumbled. "Your gonna make me cry," 

"I-I'm sorry," I whimper out, as Stiles brought his face closer to me. He shakes his head softly and pressed his lips to my gently, and I feel some of his own tears mixing in our kiss. We press our foreheads together, and I just wrapped my arms around him. 

"No, I've had a couple of days off, I'm fine," I told her, over the loud wind and people. A doctor then ran over to mum. 

"What the hell is going on? The weather called for mild thunderstorms this morning." The doctor panics. 

"And now they're saying power is already out in several towns." Mum nods her head at the doctor. "Hill Valley's under a flood watch." 

"I live in Hill Valley," the doctor said and my eyes widen.

"Are your patients clear?" Mum asked. 

"Uh... all except for Cora Hale." My eyes snapped at the doctor. 

"What room is she in?" I asked. The doctor snapped his eyes at me. 

"I don't think-"

"What room is she in!" I demand, and his eyes widen. 

"Second floor, room 216." The doctor quickly replied. 

"See ya later, mum." I told her, and I ran down the hallways.

I enter room 216 and saw Peter Hale there and I groan. "Sorry, but she wasn't, uh..." Mum enters in behind me, and I stopped. Oh no. "You're supposed to be dead." 

"I get that a lot actually," Peter told us and I snort. 

Cora then gasps, and leans over the bed and throws up. She throws up this black substance. Mistletoe. 

I step out of the hallway and then began to run down it. I ran towards the elevator, and I kept pressing on the button.  

As I enter level one, I run down the hallways, and my eyes widen when I saw a bat in a hand, women, and three men. 

"H-hey!" I yell out and continued to run towards them. "Stiles! Stiles, Scott!" They stop and turned around, and saw me. I stopped running, panting. Ms. Blake was with Derek. For a second, I felt scared of Ms. Blake and I step back. "What are you doing here, the hospital is evacuating." 

"We're here for Cora," Scott said. 

"What, all of you?" I asked. 

"Why does Stiles have my bat?" Mum stands next to me, her arms crossed. 

"Mum, just trust me on this. You and Stacey need to get out of here." I scoff. "Right now," I shake my head and I step forward towards Stiles, who actually came to me, and he grabbed ahold of my hand with one hand with the bat. He nodded at me, he already knows I'm not leaving. 

Ms. Blake glares at me, and Derek steps in front of her between us. I'm basically confronting the girl who almost killed me yesterday. Stiles took a step in front of me, glaring at Ms. Blake. 

"The building is supposed to be clear in 30 minutes," Mum informed them. "We've got two ambulances that are coming back. One's ten minutes out, the other's 20. Cora needs to be one of those. They'll be picking up in the basement garage." 

"Got it." Scott nods his head at mum and started to walk backward. 

"Okay," Mum breathes before we turned around and we ran to the elevator. 

As we enter the elevator, Derek's hand was gripping on Ms. Blake's arm, Scott standing beside her, Stiles standing behind her with the bat, and who was standing in front of me protectively.

"You don't have to keep me on a lesh, Derek. I'm going to help." Ms. Blake told him, and I scoffed. She turned her head towards Scott, who was glaring hard. 

She then turned her head towards me and Stiles, his bat held high up in the air, glaring. "You've tried to kill me once, how do we know you're not going to do it again?" I lower my voice for effect. 

Ms. Blake just shakes her head, and we wait for the elevator to go up. The elevator door opens, and we were on level two. The lights flicker above us as we walk down the hallway. I was in between Scott and Stiles, as Derek was in the front with Ms. Blake. 

We turn to room 216, and Cora wasn't in there. On the ground, was black blood and mistletoe. My eyes trailed down to where the black substance lead. "Derek," Scott said, noticing it as well. Derek turned his head towards Scott. 

There were doors that were lead from the black substance. Through the doors, you could hear loud muffling, groaning, and fighting. Stiles and I looked at each other before our eyes trailed to the door. 

The door suddenly opens to Peter Hale, who slides on his back, towards us. Who the hell through him? There was blood no him. Peter groans. He opened his eyes, looking at us. "We gotta a problem." Peter then looks down the hallway. "Big problem." 

My eyes widen when my eyes trailed too the Alpha twins, who were combined as one big Alpha. They roar, and Stiles held his bat even higher and I let out a whimper. 

✢

Derek had shifted, growling softly. The Alpha twins who were combined runs towards us and Derek ran towards them. Both of them roaring. Derek had body slammed into Ethan and Aiden. They continue to fight. Punching and defending each other, Ethan and Aiden had grabbed Derek and started to punch Derek square in the face. 

Scott had transformed as well, growling and went to help Derek. Scott had jumped off the wall, doing his thing. My eyes trailed over to Cora, and I gasp. "Help me." I told Peter, helping him stand up. 

He, Stiles, and I ran towards Cora. We dodge out of our way on the fight, and skid next to Cora. "Ethan, Aiden, stop!" Scott tried and my gaze walked over to Ethan and Aiden, who had pushed Scott against the wall and was choking him. "You don't know what you're doing." 

"All we want is her." The twins said, looking at Scott. I then look down the hallway, and saw that Ms. Blake had gone into the elevator, Ethan and Aiden looked aside and saw that too. They sprinted down the hallway, to try and catch up to her. 

But, Ms. Blake was already gone. 

✢

With Cora on Peter's back, Stiles and I chase after him, along with Scott and Derek. "Don't stop, don't stop!" Derek yells, but Stiles did the opposite, making me stop as the other's continued. I could hear Ethan and Aiden roaring in the distances. 

"Stiles!" I yell, but he already ran off. Is he trying to kill himself? Stiles had gone into the corner. Ethan and Aiden had walked through growling. 

Stiles then took a big swing and smashed the bat against the big Alpha. Which, seemed to have no effect. The Alpha growls. Stiles quickly made his way back to me, and I let out a sigh as our hands connect again and we run out of the room. 

Scott had jumped up, and through one of the lights onto them, sending them back. This will give us time, right? 

✢

Everyone ran into the medical room and Mackenzie and Derek shut the doors as Cora was placed on the bed by Peter. "Where's the big guy?" Stiles asked turning around.  

"He's close." Derek called.

"What about Ms. Blake?" Stiles questioned. "What do you mean? What does that mean? Like, she's gone? Scott, are you kidding me?" I bite on my lower lip. 

"Shh, quiet!" Derek hissed.

"Me be quiet? Me, huh? Are you telling me what to now? When you're psychotic, mass murdering girlfriend... the second when you dated, by the way... has got my dad somewhere, tied up, waiting to be ritually sacrificed?" Stiles ranted. 

"Stiles, they're still out there," Scott said, coming between the alpha and the human.

"And... and they want her, right?" Stiles said. "Which means we don't have her, either. So my dad and Cora are both dead!" I can tell his stress levels are high. I want to cuddle him and tell him it's okay, but I know it's not. 

"Not yet." Scott said. Scott went over to Peter who was with Cora on the bed. "Is she really dying?"

"She's definitely not getting any better." Peter sarcastically pointed out.  

"There has to be something that we can do. We have to help her." I spoke, as I stepped forward. The doors on the other side then fling open.

"You can't." Ms. Blake spoke stepping in. "Only I can. I can save her, and I can tell you where Sherif Stilinski is. But there is a pack of Alpha in this hospital that wants me dead. So I'll help you... but only when I'm out of here and safe." Everyone stops and stares at her. "Only then."

Derek then pushes ver some trays and went for Ms. Blake, angrily, but Scott quickly caught Derek and pulled him back. "Derek, wait!" 

We're basically making a deal with the devil. 

"She was trying to get out." Derek spat.  

"I was trying to keep from getting killed." Ms. Blake defended. "You can't blame me for that."

"If you won't show you're one of the good guys, then heal her." I hiss.

"Not until I'm safe." Ms. Blake spoke.

"I'd like to volunteer a different method of persuasion," Peter suggested.

"Let's torture her." Peter said.

"Works for me." Derek added.

"Oh, my god, I can't believe I'm agreeing with the Hale's." I mumbled and raised my hand. "Who's in this? One, two, three, let's torture her!" I then did a fake cheer. I looked over at Stiles. "Too much?" 

He nodded and made a hand gesture towards him, I sigh and he wrapped his arms around me. 

There was then the sound of Melissa's voice over the P.A speaker. "Um, can I have your attention? Mr. Deucalion... excuse me, just Deucalion... request you bringing the women calling herself Jennifer Blake to the E.R reception. Do this, and everyone can leave. You have ten minutes."

"He's not gonna hurt her," Ms. Blake said.

"Shut up." Derek snapped, pointing at Ms. Blake.

"He won't!" Ms. Blake snapped right back. "Scott, you know why," Ms. Blake nodded her head. "Tell them it's true."

"What does she mean?" Derek asked.

Scott didn't reply. "You're not the only one he wants in his pack." Everyone looked at Scott, and Scott looked at me. 

✢ 

"Deucalion just doesn't want an Alpha pack. He wants perfection." Ms. Blake explained. "That means adding the rarest of alphas to his ranks."

"A true Alpha." Peter spoke.

"What's that?" Stiles asked from behind.

"The kind that doesn't have to steal his power from an alpha." I explained, Deaton had already told her what a true alpha means and is using his words. "One can rise by the force of his own will. Our Scott."

Scott shakes his head at Derek. "It doesn't matter." Scott then turned to Ms. Blake. "We still need to get her out of here."

"Scott, and Stacey, your mum..." Stiles desperately said.

"My mum said there's one more ambulance coming in twenty minutes. And I don't think we've been here that long, so if we can get down to the garage, get to the last ambulance, we can get out of here." Scott told my boyfriend. 

"The twins aren't just gonna let us walk out." Peter told them.

"I'll distract them." Scott promised.

"You mean to fight them." Derek interpreted.

"Whatever I have to do I'll help you." Derek told Scott.

"Um, sorry, but I'm not going anywhere without you, Derek," Ms. Blake told us.

"I'll do it." Peter spoke. "But I'd prefer to be out there with an advantage."

"An advantage, like what?" Stiles asked. "You mean like a weapon?"

"Something better than a baseball bat." Peter spoke, looking over at him. 

That's when everyone started to dig through the draws but me. I was just keeping an eye on Ms. Blake with her arms crossed. "Hey, wait, what about this?" Stiles asked.

"Do you know how to use those?" Peter asked.

"Well, no..."

"Then put them down." Derek finished. Stiles did so, and Scott grabs a needle and unplugs the needle.

"Epinephrine?" Scott asked.

"That's only going to make him stronger," Derek explained.

"How strong?" Peter asked as he stopped searching for weapons. Peter had put the Epinephrine in him, and Scott and he both exited.

Everyone exit the doors where they were fighting, and they run the other way, where freedom was. They turned the corner and left. 

✢ 

We had made it to the garage and the ambulance was there. "It's still here!" Stiles cried out as we opened up the garage doors. We entered the building and run towards the ambulance. We opened up the back of the ambulance and there was a stretcher inside it. Stiles jumped in and Derek placed Cora on the stretcher. I jumped in after. 

"Derek, over here." Ms. Blake called. There was then a loud roar, and out from the window, I could see that Derek and Jennifer had run for it. I had closed the door and looked over at Stiles worriedly, who grabbed my hand and squeezed it gently.
