3.19: Letharia Vulpina

ZHU- Good Life

I rushed out of the hospital just in time to see an ambulance barely miss Kira. I ran over to her watching as the ambulance hit a fire hydrant spilling water everywhere. I grabbed Kira's shoulders and pulled her away from the sparking cord. It whipped around until it landed in the puddle over water that's spurring out of the broken hydrant.

"No," I shouted as the driver got out of the ambulance and was instantly electrocuted by the puddle of water that is only increasing in size.

"Get back! Everyone get back!" Kira shouted. 

"Allison," I looked up to see Isaac push Allison onto the grass. 

"Isaac!" I called out. Kira grabbed my arm stopping me from moving. 

"Sky," she tapped me as a silver car drove towards us going faster than he should. 

The driver isn't paying attention. I tried to reach for her but she pulled away from me. I stumbled back and watched Kira jump onto the moving car, she kicked off the trunk and backflipped landing perfectly on her feet. I got onto my feet and stepped away from the water. Kira grabbed the cord. She looked up at me, before I could say anything she placed her hand on the sparking end of the cord. The lights all flickered as she absorbed the electricity. Her eyes are a pretty amber shade, matching the aura of the kitsune around her. I turned away and rushed over to Isaac.

"Hey," I crouched down next to him. "Isaac?" I placed my hand on his neck. Derek rushed over to us. "Derek, he's not breathing," 

"What?" he panicked. I turned him over on his back. 

"No, no, no, you can't do this to me," I tucked his head back the way mom had taught me. I cleared his throat and took a deep breath. Pinching his nose, I forced the air into his lungs a couple of times before I began to pump his chest. "Isaac! Please," 

"Sky," Derek called out. He reached for my arm. 

"Get off!" I shouted and continued to try and bring him back. We both jumped back when Isaac pulled a gasp of air in. 

"Don't move him," someone shouted. Derek grabbed my arms as we were surrounded. 

"Isaac," I called out to him as he was lifted onto a bed and rushed inside. Derek held on to me keeping me from going after them.

"Hey, hey," Derek shouted catching my face in his hands. "It's going to be okay. They have him. He's breathing. You brought him back. You brought him back,"

The images of last night have been playing in my head nonstop. Mom and Scott forced me to come home. Scott and Derek called Gideon and Cash to help them get me here that night. Not only did Isaac almost die. Two others did die and Stiles has been officially missing for forty-eight hours. Between looking for Stiles and needing Isaac to wake up, I haven't gotten much sleep. The worst part is that they don't let me see Isaac because I'm technically not family. 

"Hey, you should get dressed," Scott tapped on my bathroom door. "Shower, I don't know what you do in the mornings," 

"Okay," 

As I got things to take a quick shower, I noticed some of my things were where I placed them. My dad was probably looking around. I showered and got ready for today. Gideon and I are driving to Stanford. He has to fill something out with adult supervision and I have interview with the dean about my academic scholarship. These things use to wreck havoc on my life and now compared to everything else, it doesn't hold the same importance it used to. 

"Any news?" Scott asked as I went for the coffee. It doesn't help but it's something I'm used to. Something familiar. I reached for a mug and the pot.
