The Fallen ➵Lahey

In which she must die

Everything Layla Martin has grown to be since the day she entered this supernatural world, since she became apart of the pack, since she became a banshee, since she met Isaac has led her to this moment. To her death.

Everyone gathers around the nemeton, nobody cries because they know that this is the only way. The only way to release Layla to free her. This was never apart of the plan, Layla Martin was never supposed to die. She was meant to grow old and gray, happy and in love.

"We all understand that this is what you all agreed on. Layla has to die to get rid of what's inside of her. A death that causes damage so that her body isn't useful to what's inside of her anymore. What ever happens just remember that Layla may already be dead.

That's why we have to destroy her body"Deaton says with a stoic expression even though the sad expressions on the teens faces make him feel the same way they do. Lydia is trying so desperately not to fall to her knees and sob.

It all just happened so fast and she didn't do anything to help. How is she supposed to explain this to her parents when she comes home knowing her sister is dead while they sit their hoping that she's alive as they desperately search for their daughter, and as years go by they'll still think she's alive even though she's been dead in their town for years and their own daughter knew, she witnessed.

Isaac closes his eyes, thinking that when he opens them it'll just be a dream and Layla will be hovering over him with a big smile as she kisses him and she laughs as he tickles her. She hates to be tickled but he loves to hear her giggle like no tomorrow.

He feels nauseous at the thought of this all going away. Never being able to see her strawberry blonde head walking towards him the cutest smile. Never see the way her eyes gleam when she hears good news. Never get to poke her dimples which annoys her but he finds it cute when she blushes about it. All of it ends right here and now. His first love ends tonight.

"This is murder, we can't do this. We don't stand for this"Allison speaks up and looks to Scott for back up but he doesn't say anything.

"I'm not letting that thing control her anymore"Isaac says as Peter Hale appears with a smirk on his face.

"Why is he here?"Lydia asks with anger.

"It's clear that none of you will be able to do what's needed so I offered my assistance out of the kindness of my heart. And to say goodbye to my technical progeny. It was me after all who made her banshee be born"Peter says and Isaac growls as his eyes glow a golden yellow and Peter's turn blue.

"Young love. It's a bitch at times like these"He says as he pushes Isaac back and before anyone can say anything he impales Layla who sits up against the nemeton unconscious but the minute his claws enter her abdomen. Her eyes snap open as she gasps. He presses harder and twists, making sure it's excruciating enough for whatever is inside her to feel.

"NO"Isaac yells, he wasn't ready and he didn't want Peter to be the one to end her life. It was wrong, it was Peter who had ruined her life and now he got to end it. Peter pulls away and Isaac runs towards her as she clutches her stomach and blood pours from her mouth.

"Is-Isaac"she stutters as she stares at the blood pooling onto her shirt. She feels almost same way she did when Jennifer had stabbed her but this time, she knows she's meant to die. Before she had help, people who wanted her to live. Not that they don't want her to live now but it's a risk.

"Hey, don't look"he says as he lifts her chin up and a tear rolls down her eye. Lydia is in Allison's arms sobbing. She want's to hold her sister but she knows that Isaac wants this time with her. Lydia may still have the opportunity to be with her sister or to at least hear her.

"I'm so sorry"Layla whispers and a tear leaves his eye.

"You did nothing wrong. I love you, Layla. This is all my fault. I should have looked after you better, I should have known something was wrong. I should've done something"he says as he goes to take her pain away but she pushes his hand back.

"Just promise me you'll look after everyone and you'll meet a nice girl when this is all over. Get away from here and never look back"She say as Lydia walks towards them and kneels with a sympathetic smile as the tears pour down her cheeks.

"You can't leave me. I need you, you're my other half"she says as she hugs her sister who is barely hanging on.

"I love you Lydia. And you should tell Stiles you love him"Layla says as her eyes close.

"Oh my god"Lydia cries as she begins to shake Layla who doesn't move. Isaac lifts her up and sets her onto the nemeton where he soul can lay to rest.

A/N: There isn't a chapter missing in case anyone thinks that. This isn't the end of the story. Some of my smart people my have a idea as to what's going on in my mind. Please don't send me death threats! I get enough as it is. This ain't flappy bird! This chapter sucks but I'd been planning it for the longest. It was so much better in my head tbh
