Chapter 14

"Scott!" Derek yelled again. Scott was still shocked by what Kira had just done. My heart was pounding when it finally hit me that Isaac actually wasn't breathing.

I immediately went into survival mode. I kneeled down and rolled Isaac onto his back. I tilted his head back. I placed my hands on top of each other on his chest. I inhaled sharply and pumped his chest.

I had learned CPR a hundred years ago when I had taking babysitting training. That was probably twelve years ago. So, I'm not sure how I'm doing this but I am. I pinched his nose and breathed into his mouth twice. I listened for a heartbeat. Nothing.

I began pumping again. Alison ran up to us. She covered her mouth with her hand. She was scared and completely overwhelmed. I breathed again. Still no heartbeat.

I began pumping again. "Eva, why isn't it working?" Derek said urgently. He was scared too. I breathed, then listened. Nothing. My heart was sinking deeper and deeper into my chest. No, Isaac can't die. He can't die, not now. I won't let him.

"Come on, Isaac. Breath." I murmured. I breathed again. Still nothing. I was scared to death and really angry. I'm not sure if I was angry at him or myself at this point.

"Damn it, Isaac! Breath!" I yelled trying to fight tears. I pumped his chest much harder than I was before. So much so that I knew I was going to break his ribs but I was too upset to stop. I exhaled more than I had before. Just before I was going to see if he was breathing he inhaled.

"He's breathing!" I exclaimed. I could hardly contain my excitement. "We need to get him in the hospital." Scott said. Derek and Scott got Isaac up and was rushing toward the emergency end of the hospital.

Alison ran at me and threw her arms around me. She was shaking in my arms. I rubbed her back in attempt to clam her down.

I lead her inside the hospital. Scott and Derek looked a little freaked out. Isaac was rushed past us on a stretcher. There was burn marks on the left side of his neck. Alison acted as if she was about to follow him but I held into her. She looked at me and shook her head as tears surfaced in her eyes.

I hugged her. She was crying. "This is my fault. This is all my fault." I released her and forced her to look into my eyes. "Alison, this is not your fault. You can't be blamed for this." I said shaking my head. Her entire body was shaking. She was scared, I could feel it. I knew exactly what she needed. I had needed the same thing over and over. She needed someone to hold her. But the difference between me and her was she has someone to hold her.

She sobbed in my arms. I heard Derek's voice. "You need to tell Stilinski." He was talking to Scott. "You have to tell him what's really wrong with Stiles." Derek was right. Derek walked away from Scott and was headed toward me and Alison.

"I think I'll stay here for a while. Alison said sitting down, still holding onto my hand. I nodded. "You coming?" Derek asked me. I shook my head. "I'm going to say with Alison. Okay?" Derek looked at her and nodded. "Call me if you need anything." Derek told me. He kissed me before leaving.

I sat down beside Alison. Kira was gone. Her mother had drug her away. Scott was gone and Derek had left. It was just me and Alison now.

"Eva?" Alison said after putting her head on my shoulder and hooking her arm around mine. "Yeah?" I asked. "You know after Boyd died, when we were dealing with the alphas and the Darack, I told you that I felt like everyone was going to be okay. That we would all survive?" I nodded. I remembered that day just as I was living it now.

"I don't feel like it this time. I feel like not all of us will make it out alive." She whispered. She was scared. Who's not going to make it out alive? Is it Scott, Stiles, Alison, Chris, Derek, Isaac, Lydia, the twins? "Tell me I'm crazy. Tell me that I'm stupid and thinking that is the stupidest thing I've ever done." Alison begged. She didn't want it to be true. Neither did I. "I wish more than anything that I could tell you that you are stupid for thinking that. But the truth is I have the exact same feeling."

I felt her feel defeated. She had hoped and so had I. "But no one's going to die tonight. So sleep a little. Everything's fine. I'm not going to let anyone hurt you." She sighed.

"I love you, Eva." She whispered. "I love you too."
