Vindex *Stiles Stilinski* Book 2

Can't breath

"So now what?" Isaac ask as we stare at Jackson.

"I guess we wait for Scott." I shrug. Honestly I feel kinda bad for Jackson, I mean he doesn't even know what he's doing.

"Hey Devin?" Isaac says catching my attention. I raise my eyebrow turning to him so he can continue. "I just want to say I'm sorry, you know for being a jerk and hitting on you." He apologizes awkwardly rubbing the back of his neck.

"It's fine, you aren't the first and you won't be the last." I shrug leaning against the wall.

"Do you think maybe we could, I don't be friends?" He ask timidly.

I smile softly, "I'd like th-" I stop when I feel my chest tightening. My lungs feel like they are collapsing as I fall to the floor gripping my chest, trying my hardest to catch a breath.

"Devin what's wrong?" Isaac panics crouching down near me.

"I.Cant. B-breath." I huff between each word.

"Ok what do I do?" He continues panicking.

"Get. Stiles." I choke out.

Isaacs eyes go wide before he nods jumping up and heading to the door. "Uh, no, no, no! Just me, it's just me. Don't freak. What's wrong?" I hear Stiles ask from the door.

"Uh Devin she said she can't breath." I hear quick shuffling and soon Stiles' worried brown eyes are staring at me.

"Babe look I'm here. Look what wrong?" He ask worried cupping my face.

"I. Can't. Breath. Feels like. Wolfsbane." I suck in deeply trying to do anything to catch a breath of air. My lungs are on fire at this point. 

A groan emits from Jackson making Stiles and Isaac turn to him. "I thought the ketamine was supposed to put him out." Isaac says staring at Jackson.

"Yeah, well, apparently this is all we're going to get. So let's just hope that whoever's controlling him just decided to show up tonight." Stiles mumbles turning is attention back to me.

What happened next took my breath away... Oh wait I haven't had it for a while anyways. "I'm here. I'm right here with you." A voice comes from Jackson.

Stiles looks at me wide eyed as I continue to try and catch m breath. "Go. Talk to. It." I huff out still clutching my chest.

"Devin-" I cut Stiles off by shaking my head. "Go. I'll be. Fine." I gasp.

Stiles looks at me worried before kissing my head and standing up. "Jackson, is that you?" Stiles ask him.

The thing, I don't even wanna call it Jackson any more, looks up at him. "Us. We're all here

Wanting to not strain myself I crawl my way over to the wall and lean against it as I watch the scene unfold in front of me. "Are you the one killing people?" Stiles ask another question.

"We are the ones killing murderers." It says, the voice sounds so calm, like it has nothing to worry about.

"So all the people you've killed so far..." Stiles trails off.

Jackson nods. "Deserved it."

"See, we got a little rule book that says you only go after murderers." Stiles sasses trying to get more information.

"Anything can break if enough pressure's applied." The thing sounds almost robotic.

As Stiles continues to talk to Jackson it becomes harder and harder to breath. I attempt to choke out a help but nothing come out. All I can think of is this burning feeling in my throat. Panic starts taking over now as my vision begins to become dotted. Mustering up every bit of air I can I let out a weak cry. "Stiles." And with that I'm black.

*Stiles POV*
"Okay, all right. More ketamine. The man needs ketamine. Come on." I rush looking at the scary murderous monster in front of me.

Isaac's eyes go wide as he looks at the vile. "We don't have any more."

"You used the whole bottle? Um... Okay, out, everybody out-"

"Stiles." My head snaps at the weak voice calling my name. Slowly I see Devin's head fall.

"No no no." I whisper bending down and picking her up. I have to get her out of here.

"Go go!" Isaac instructs as he holds open the door for me.

"Okay, find something to move in front of the door." I tell him as I lay Devin on the ground to check her pulse. Isaac slams the door shut and pushes himself against it. Though it didn't help because moments later Jackson/kanima bust through the wall.

"Fan-freaking-tastic." I mumble looking down at Devin "Ok we have to find Derek he can help her." I say as I pick her up.

We make our way outside where Derek is waiting on the other side of the barrier. "What happened?" His voice booms as he watches Devin carefully in my arms.

"We lost Jackson inside but before that Devin, she said she couldn't breath and I don't know she past out." I explained beginning to freak out.

"How could that be poss- Scott?" Derek voice actually had a hint of fear.

"What?" I ask cluelessly looking up from Devin.

"Break it!" Derek demands pointing to the mountain ash barrier.

"What why?" I ask as my worry growing for the girl in my arms. She looks so helpless.

"Scott is dying!" Derek argues his anger beginning to show.

"So is Devin! How do you even know?" I snap, I can't lose either of them but Devin is here in my arms.

"Oh, my God, Stiles, I just know! She connect to Scott the only way to save her is save him. Break it!" Derek demands. It finally hits me what he means and I quickly swipe away some of the ash making it possible for him to cross.

Now all I can do it wait and hope Derek saves Scott.
