𝐂𝐑𝐀𝐙𝐄𝐃 𝐖𝐎𝐋𝐅 ━━ LYDIA MARTIN

99

"OH GOD,  I FAINTED, didn't I?" Stiles asked as he regained consciousness on the ground, seeing everyone surrounding him. "We're alive? We're all alive?"

"Yeah, we're okay," Scott nodded with a smile which faded once Lydia stood up, looking disturbed. Reid raised his brows at her, "what's going on now?"

"One of the twins," Lydia muttered, looking at the hybrid, "Aiden, I think he— he's dying."

"So, he's not dead yet?" Reid asked to which she shook her head as she grabbed his hand and led him outside, hoping they'd be able to save him as well. They rushed down the parking loft, stopping when they saw Aiden in Ethan arms with black blood oozing out of his mouth while Ethan was crying. Derek, Chris and Isaac were there as well.

"Move," Reid muttered to Derek who shot him a confused look but moved aside anyway. The hybrid knelt down, looking at the the stab wound, his nose scrunching up, "well, fuck this looks bad."

"Yeah, no fucking shit, genius." Aiden managed to weakly say as Reid roll his eyes, "watch that language, I'm about to save your life."

"So you can save his life?" Ethan asked, hope filled in his voice while the others stood there and watched him about to save someone's life for the second time that day.

"Possibly," Reid bit into his wrist again and placed his hand near Aiden's lips. The werewolf reluctantly took in his blood, his eyes closing and his head thrown back when he felt his wound closing up, it was taking a lot since it was deep but it was healing. "I'm seriously considering of making this whole saving your lives thing my job," Reid joked as Ethan let out a small cry of relief, thanking Reid over and over again while they watched the colour return to Aiden's face.

Lydia placed a hand on Reid's shoulder from behind which had him look up at her with a small smile on his face which turned into a frown when he saw the look on her face. She had her lower lip tugged in between her teeth and her brows furrowed, "something's not right."

"With who?" Ethan asked, fear filling him again at the thought of losing his twin, "Aiden?"

"Me?" Aiden shook his head as Reid retracted his hand, "no, I feel fine."

"Then who?" Chris was full blown panicking, thinking that Allison was hurt again. "What's wrong?"

Lydia kept staring at Reid who had now stood up. She tilted her head to the side, narrowing her eyes at him, "it's you. Something's wrong with you."

"Yeah, no, I'm fine," he brushed off her words, not really wanting her to worry. The stab he received earlier was not anywhere near healing. The fact that he used his blood to heal Allison slowed down his own healing process and using it on Aiden worsened his own wound. "I'm healing."

"You're bleeding," Chris pointed out, looking at his nose. Reid frowned, bringing his fingers under his nose then looked down at it to find black blood, much like what was coming out of Aiden earlier.

"Oh well damn," he let out a humourless chuckle, "that doesn't look good, does it?"

"Your ears," Lydia muttered, her heartbeat picking up, "they're bleeding too."

"Fuck," the hybrid groaned when he felt weak all of a sudden, stumbling backwards. Aiden and Ethan caught him and helped lowered him to the ground. "God, this is embarrassing. Kill me now."

"When were you stabbed?" Derek questioned, rolling his eyes at the younger werewolf who shrugged, "hours ago. Healing Allison and him must've slowed down my own healing process. I didn't realise—" he was cut off when Derek lifted his shirt, revealing his wound that was surrounded by black blood and veins all around his stomach. "Yeah, this doesn't look good at all."

"Thanks, Captain obvious." Reid muttered sarcastically, "I don't feel any pain so like—  I've been dying for the past one hour."

Lydia knelt down beside him, staring at his stomach, "when did this happen?"

"Oh my god," Stiles muttered as he joined them along with Scott and Kira, "this doesn't look good. Nope— are you dying?" He frowned at Reid, "holy sh— are you freaking dying right now?"

"Did this happen when you told us to leave to go find Lydia?" Scott asked, kneeling down beside the strawberry blonde to inspect the wound. "I knew I shouldn't have left you alone!"

"Oh shut the fuck up, did you really want to be in my place right now?" When Scott stayed quiet, Reid hummed, "didn't think so."

"You're gonna come back though, right?" Chris asked, not wanting him to die, "as... as a hybrid? That's what your father did too, didn't he?"

"Yep," Reid grunted out, scrunching up his nose when he felt the metallic taste on his tongue. "I'd like to be left alone with Lydia. When I come back, I'll text you all, promise."

"You're dying," Stiles said with a small roll of his eyes, "can you like, be serious for once?"

"No, seriously," Reid looked at him, "leave, I'll text you when I get back."

Stiles breathed out a chuckle before he nodded and left along with the others except Lydia who stayed by his side, with his head on her lap as he smiled at her.

"Dying in your arm's always been a dream of mine," he said making Lydia laugh, "that's a lie but I'll take it."

He chuckled only for more blood to come out of his mouth. "I feel like shit. Snap my neck and be done with it, why don't you?"

"I'd never do that," she muttered, running her hand through his hair, "you've saved my friends today. I didn't think it was harming you. I'm sorry—"

"— don't even go there," he cut her off, "I wanted to save them for you. You obviously care about them a lot and so does the others."

"— I remember when you said that you're gonna your my own ass if it comes to it—" Lydia paused, "it's gonna be yourself before everyone else. That seems to have changed, didn't it?"

"Us before everyone else, that yes," he muttered with a small not, "but the others? Not so much," he bit his lip, knowing that was a total lie, "I've only saved them because I know I'll come back. They wouldn't have."

"Sure, whatever you say."

"Let me die in peace now."
