Everyone Has Demons [Teen Wolf]

In the car to the hospital I didn't say much, but Ms. Blake sure did. "I'm only helping you because I want to. I could've run when I had the chance, but I didn't. You wouldn't have been able to stop me. But I want to help you." I rolled my eyes and wished she would shut up.

"Shut up," Derek said as if reading my mind.

"Derek, I know you're upset but-"

I turned around in my seat and looked at her. "Was shut up too vague for you? How about stop talking." Even as a human I could be pretty intimidating. She looked annoyed but didn't say anything else.

We when reached the hospital, Scott and Stiles, who had been following behind us, went up to find Melissa, while Derek, Ms. Blake and I went to Cora's room. She wasn't there and Derek was looking tense. "Well, whoever took her left breadcrumbs," I said pointing at the trail of black goo that led out of her room and down the hall. We followed them to a set of double doors, which flew open and Peter crashed through them. "Why am I not surprised he's in the middle of this?" I mumbled.

Through the now open doors, I could see the merged twins and, in between them and Peter, lay an unconscious Cora. "Get Cora out of here," Derek urged me. Scott and Stiles came down the hall and Scott noticed the twins. He and Derek went after the alphas while Stiles and I tried to lift Cora up.

"Be careful!" I snapped. "We don't know want to hurt her anymore than she already has been."

"Obviously I know that," Stiles said annoyed. "It would be really useful if one of us had super strength, you know."

"It's Ms. Blake, she's got my powers all screwed up. It's like she's calmed me down too much to even get my adrenaline going."

"Speaking of Ms. Blake, where is she?" Stiles asked sounding panicked. I whipped around and realized she wasn't standing by the doors where we'd left her.

"Damn it," I mumbled. The only plus to this was that I was able to pick up Cora and take her out of the hall and away from the fighting. Peter got himself up and headed down the hall with us.

"Give her to me, if Jennifer comes back you'll drop her in a second," he told me.

I looked at him skeptically. "In case you didn't know, you look like crap."

"I feel like crap, but I can still carry her." I shrugged and handed her over to him.

Derek and Scott burst through the double doors. "Run!" Scott yelled. We didn't waste any time and our group traveled through the halls with the twins hot on our heels. Finally we went into an operating room and slammed the doors. After a moment of no noises from the outside we decided that we must have lost them and sat down to catch our breaths.

"I can't believe you guys let Ms. Blake get away," Stiles said.

"In case you didn't notice, we had our hands full with other things," Derek said annoyed.

"You have really crappy taste in women, you know?" Stiles retorted. "This isn't even your first psychotic girlfriend! Are they the only ones who will put up with you? Is it physically impossible for you to not be an ass long enough to keep someone like Ava around?"

My eyes widened and I quickly moved the conversation back to Ms. Blake, not wanting to get into this territory right now. "She can't have gotten far, especially with the alphas looking for her. If we get going, we can probably catch up with her."

We didn't have to look far; there was a banging on the door to the room. "Derek? It's me." Scott opened the door and she tumbled in. "You've got to protect me from them," she said looking around at all of us.
