This May Hurt (Teen Wolf)

Chapter 14

Frozen. That's what I am. Frozen. Numb to anything and everything around me. It's almost peaceful actually. The past 36 hours, I'm guessing, have been full of nothing by fear, panic and other sorts of emotion that have made every bone and muscle in my body knot and tie themselves around me in one massive bunch with a wrecking ball of pain to go with it. But this ice has now released me from that pain and I thank it.

"She should be slipping into her second long coma in about 7 minutes.", I hear Deaton say.

"Well the sooner the better. Isn't there anyway for us to hurry this up?", Derek says.

"Doing anything extra could cause her major damage and we don't need that.", Deaton tells him.

"Fine. We'll wait. Scott, Erica, Boyd, and Isaac, let's go back outside and see if we can make up a plan for these new pack.", Derek orders. "Oh, if you don't mind Derek, I think I'll stay here with her. You know, support since I've done this before.", Isaac says.

"More like to try and rape her in her coma." I can practically here the smirk on Erica's face after she says that.

"Sometimes Erica, you need to learn to shut your mouth.", Boyd tells her.

"Sorry babe.", I hear Erica's voice drop into something of a guilty little girl. Wait...Boyd and Erica? And is that a hint of regret in her voice. I wish I could see her face. I wish I could see THEM, but with my eyes basically frozen shut I can't. I hear the shuffling of feet and the door open and close.

"How are you doing?", I hear Isaac ask.

"Peaceful actually.", I say surprised by the fact that I can even move my lips. "I remember doing this. I was pretty freaked out but it's actually soothing after awhile. The feel of the below zero degree water taking you further and further away from your problems and troubles.", I hear Isaac say.

"Ya, I actually feel really relaxed. Like my mind is free from my body.". I reply. There are a few beats of silence. I was guessing maybe he left or something until he spoke again.

"So...what's the deal with you and Stiles?", Isaac asks me. 

Even the sound of his name brings me back from my frozen trance.

"Nothing.", I state though it pains me.

"Oh ok.", I can hear just a bit of uncertainty lace through his voice.

It's quite once again. I'd rather it this way. I can feel myself slipping further and further into what must be oblivion. Maybe a few moments out of my body won't be so bad.

Suddenly, I hear the door open once again and feet move towards me and my tub.

"Vanessa?", I hear a voice call me.

I know that voice too well. Stiles. I stay silent.

"Is she-", Stiles begins.

"She was talking a few moments ago.", Isaac tells him.

"Deaton?", Stiles asks.

"She's only moments away from her heart stopping, that's most likely the why she isn't responding.", he tells him. I silently thank him.

More beats of silence.

"Whatever you're trying to do with her, you need to stop.", I hear Stiles say.

What, what is he talking about?

"You don't know anything.", I hear Isaac say angrily.

What's the-

"All I know is you better stay away from her. She's mine." , he fired back.

"She's not some piece of property. She can decide.", Isaac shot back.

"She has decided. She decided the minute she kissed me."

My mind may be slowing, but now it's reeling from his words. Why  would he tell him that?!

"Like I said mutt, she's mine."

And that's the last thing I hear before I slip away into complete silence.
