Our Guardian Angel

Chapter 2

Stiles POV

The pack was sitting out front of the Hale house. I could hear them from the living room. I should probably go outside with them. At least pretend I'm trying to not mope around. But all I want to do is cry. I don't even contribute to the pack in any way so what's the point? I don't even know why I'm "part of the pack" anymore.

I sighed and pushed myself up off the couch and headed for the front door. As I walked out I could see most of the pack was playing tag or something. Derek and Boyd were off to the side talking to each other. I sat on the steps watching everyone else. I didn't even notice Derek came over to sit by me.

"Hey." He said, making me jump.

"Hi."

"You okay?"

"I'm trying to be." I said feeling a lump form in my throat.

"We're all here for you." He said. I nodded, looking away from him.

"Yeah, once pack, always pack." I looked up to see Isaac.

"Thanks." I mumbled, digging a stick into the dirt.

Isaac asked Derek something making the Alpha get up. Not having his presence next to me kind of hurt. He makes everything hurt a little less. I sighed seeing Isaac and Derek back by Boyd. All three of them talking for awhile before Boyd walked off with Erica and Isaac went back with the rest of the pack.

Somethings not right though. It feels...off. I looked around the trees. I started to feel at ease. Nothing showing up until I heard what sounded like a bow and arrow being shot. But Allison's not here. Who would it be?

My eyes locked onto the person and soon onto the arrow.

"DEREK!" I yelled getting up faster than I ever thought possible. I ran into Derek actually pushing him to the ground.

Derek POV

"DEREK!" I heard Stiles scream. I turned just as he pushed me to the ground.

"What was that for?" I asked. He got this pained look on his face as he tried to get up.

"Stiles." I said quietly. "Oh my god. Stop moving." An arrow was sticking out of his side.

"He's in the trees." His voice was barely audible as he sat on the ground.

"Shit. S-Scott get me a towel...and uh..." I couldn't get my words out. Scott ran inside without without a thought.

"I'm gonna pull it out." I told Stiles seeing the boy shake his head.

"No, it hurts." He cried laying down.

"Stiles, I have to." I said as the pack started gathering around. "I have to." I was trying not to cry.

"You have to stay awake bud." I heard Scott as he set the stuff down. Stiles managed a small groan in response.

"Fuck." I snapped to myself. I placed my hand on his side to pull out some of the pain. I grabbed onto the arrow hissing in pain as it burnt my skin.

"Fuck." I shouted pulling it out and tossing it to the side. I looked at my hand seeing it was bleeding.

"Son of a bitch." I groaned. "Stiles, stay awake."

His heartbeat grew faint as I started stitching up his side.

"Stiles, come on. Wake up." The pack was quiet.

By the time I finished his heartbeat was barely there.

"He's not going to make it...is he?" Isaac asked.

"Where the fuck did that guy go?" I said, trying to pull out more of his pain.

"Boyd and Erica went after him." Isaac told me.

"Stiles, wake up." I heard Scott cry.

Isaac POV

"Fuck!" Derek yelled getting up. He rubbed his hands over his face. "It should've been me." He mumbled.

"That arrow wouldn't even hurt you why would he push you out of the way?" I asked.

"With how much wolfsbane it was soaked in I would've been dead in minutes." Derek said forcing himself not to cry. "FUCK!" He screamed again before running off.

"Stiles, please wake up." Scott cried.

"Scott he's gone." Lydia said trying to pull him away from Stiles.

"No!" Scott yelled.

I felt Danny come up behind me and pull me into a hug. Derek was inside breaking things, yelling, crying. Erica and Boyd came back cringing as they heard the Alpha inside.

That night we all howled, together, for Stiles.
