26. Final Countdown

As soon as I got to the warehouse where everyone was, I heard the fighting had begun without me. I gave my dad a look, exchanging 'I love you's' with him before going to get to higher ground. When I got to the higher ground, I saw Allison was in fact, fighting with Gerard. On his side. 

What the hell was she doing? 

I fired arrows at both Jackson and Gerard, trying to keep them occupied so Scott and the rest of them would have a fighting chance. But Jackson's too powerful, it doesn't matter how many of us there are. We can't beat him.. 

I watched as Allison was stabbing Isaac with her daggers. Isaac tried swinging at her, trying to stop her but she quickly dodged his attack and was stabbing him literally in the back. I gasped, seeing she was going to go for the kill as I pointed my bow at her, taking a deep breath before releasing the arrow. 

I watched as the arrow flew towards her, knocking one of her daggers from her hands. She looked surprised, looking up to see me standing there on top of the platform. I kept my bow pointed at her, firing another arrow as she ran from Isaac. She let Isaac fall to the floor in pain before glaring towards Derek. Derek was on the floor, paralyzed from Jackson's venom as Allison was making her way towards him to kill him for revenge for her mother. 

Which still didn't make that much sense to me but I guess I'll know what she's truly feeling when it happens to me so... 

But before Allison could go towards Derek, Jackson grabbed her by the throat, stopping her. She gasped, dropping her dagger while looking at Gerard in shock. "What are you doing?" Allison asked, obviously shocked that Gerard would betray her. Well, big shocker there Allison. Your psychopathic grandfather is trying to kill you too like the rest of us. 

"He's doing what he came here to do." Scott pointed out while we all looked shocked. 

"Then you know." Gerard said. 

"What? What is he talking about?" Allison asked, still in shock. 

Gerard had a smirk on his face, turning his attention to Scott. "It was that night outside the hospital wasn't it? When I threatened your mother? I knew I saw something in your eyes. You could just smell it, couldn't you?" 

Suddenly, it was like I got this heavy weight on my chest and the little voice in the back of my head telling me what was going on. Gerard was dying. 

"He's dying." Isaac answered. 

"I have been for a while now." Gerard stated. "Unfortunately, science doesn't have a cure for cancer yet. But the supernatural does." Gerard said as he ordered Scott to bring him Derek. We watched as Scott sunk his claws into the back of Derek's upper back, dragging him towards Gerard. 

"Scott-..Scott, don't. You know he's gonna kill me right after, he'll be an Alpha." Derek pleaded with Scott but Scott wasn't listening. 

"That's true but I think Scott already knows that. He knows the ultimate prize is Allison. Do this one thing for me and they can be together." Gerard said, while rolling up his sleeve for Derek to bite him.
