ARIA POV
The pain. The pain was so intense I couldn't think of anything else; just the pain I felt.
It was all over my body. Like piercing hot water in my veins, a sensation travelling up and down my body so many times I felt like I was about to die.
I wanted to scream out and cry but I told myself both Scott and Derek were here; I was strong enough to to stay alive. It didn't stop me thrashing about though, tossing and turning on this couch trying to deal with the pain. I felt like it was getting worse but I couldn't even trust my judgement anymore, opening my eyes Scott and Derek weren't even here.
I've never felt so alone before, I allowed myself to cry. The tears didn't help the physical pain I was in but it had an effect on me mentally, it felt like I had finally shown a weakness that I'd never thought I had.
Then pang another burst of pain shot through my body like lightening. The chain attached to my ankle restricted me from doing anything I was going to regret and I was grateful; i didn't appreciate it when I kicked my legs out though in pain, it caused more pain. My fists clenched so tight i could no longer feel them yet Scott wasn't here with me. He left me all alone.
"Scott??" I cried softly to myself.
SCOTTS POV
Hearing her words immediately I sprinted back into the room as fast as I could. I looked down at her and she was still again besides the heavy rise and fall of her chest, almost as if it were over and she had fallen asleep out of exhaustion. In reality it was far from over.
Derek made me leave he said he would watch over her yet I couldn't leave at first. I wasn't going to leave I told myself, i've stayed with her this whole time and I wasn't going to abandon her now after what just happened. I shouldn't have let it happen in the first place, it is all my fault and now she'll be exactly like me (with less power).
She'll be in danger.
Looking down at her, I noticed her pale skin and white knuckles from where she's squeezed too tight, the lines of stress on her forehead and the pain that could be seen even with her eyes shut. She was clearly fighting her own demons.
I could hear the faint beat of her heart, the bite wasn't healing yet it wasn't bleeding black blood either.
"What is going on?" I asked continuing to look down at her.
Hearing Derek's soft footprints behind me I waited for a reply. A few seconds later Derek spoke softly coming to stand next to me
"I'm not completely sure but she's definitely fighting her own battle in her mind, deciding her fate."
I didn't want this life for her, Allison got killed by even being involved a fraction. I don't want it to happen again, I've just managed to fall in love again, I don't want it ripped away. But if she rejects this change she will die anyway.
Which ever she chooses will determine her life.
STILES' POV
Paramedics were rushing around Melody like flies on a dead caucus. I didn't really know what was going on but I kept my focus on Melody ensuring she kept breathing and she didn't start to fade. Whatever war she was fighting, she clearly needed some motivation to get better. I nearly got up to go sit nearer to her but I got pushed aside and I hit the wall so hard I could see spots start to enter my vision.
"She's stopped breathing I need some help please." One of the paramedics cried as they began to put something in the drip attached to her arm. The paramedics started to perform CPR on Melody and I nearly broke down and sobbed. She looked so helpless it made me feel helpless, I didn't like this feeling; she needed me. When she screamed it made me think of Lydia? This seemed different though, Lydia never reacted this way after screaming, maybe melody wasn't a banshee. The dark blood dribbled out of her mouth, rolled down her face and landed on the bed.
I snapped.
I began to cry, shouting her name knowing it was useless, still continued to do it even after one of the paramedics told me to calm down and take a seat.
"Melody? Melody listen to me! You're stronger than this, please don't die on me Melody please." However much I tried I couldn't shake the feeling like if I didn't fight or if I didn't care she wouldn't either.
Good thing I will never stop for her.
She is everything.
MELODY POV
I was in the maze. Running. I'm always running. I never get to stop because if I stop it comes. It always comes. Save me.
Stiles, save me...
