Allure of Darkness ↠ Klaus Mikaelson [3]

CHAPTER ELEVEN

"I am so different now."

"Move!" I yelled as I ran through the hospital halls, trying to push my way to where the front desk was. "I said move!" I shoved a guy into the wall, hearing him cry out but I ignored him as I finally made it to the front desk. "Sco--" my cracking voice stopped suddenly as I heard a loud wail of pain and misery.

I spun around, my eyes watering at the sight of Melissa McCall on the floor, hitting it harshly with the palm of her hands as she cried out for her son.

"Oh, my god." I ran towards her, sliding down on my knees, and took her into my arms. "Me-Melissa." I croaked, my shaky hands flying through her brown curls.

I don't know what was going on or how this happened, but all I know is that as soon as the words, 'Scott's dead' left Stiles' mouth, I jumped in my car with Nik hot on my heels, and drove all the way over here. I didn't wanna believe it at first, but now that I see how Melissa is acting, I could feel my heart break in grief.

My water brown eyes looked up and met with concerned blue ones. I took in a shaky breath but held in my cries because it was my duty to be here for Melissa.

"Melissa," I whispered out as she sniffled. "What happened?"

"Act sad. Follow me." She whispered which made me furrow my eyebrows. She shakily stood to her feet and walked towards the morgue, sniffling.

I looked up at Nik as he held out his hand to me. I reached up and gripped onto it, and almost immediately, I was pulled to his side, his arm draping over my shoulders, rubbing my arm for comfort. I sniffled, running a hand through my hair before we started following Melissa who was at the door of the morgue, looking at us, waiting.

When we walked inside the morgue, we saw Stiles, Allison, Kira, Kira's mom, and a boy I don't know, standing around Scott's body.

At the sight of my bestfriend's dead body, a sob escaped me. Immediately, Stiles made his way to me and pulled me into a hug. "I know this is sad and all, but he's not actually dead dead."

I pulled back, my eyebrows pulling together in confusion before I looked to Scott's body, my bottom lip trembling. I steadied my breathing as best as I could and listened in. There was a heart beat. A painfully slow heart beat, but a heartbeat nonetheless.

"He's alive," I breathed out. "He's alive." I turned around and threw myself at Nik, a smile gracing my lips. "But why the hell did you tell me he was dead?" I swiftly turned to Stiles, my eyes narrowing at him. "I almost had a heart attack!"

"Why didn't you tell me Santa Klaus was alive?" Stiles fired at me, putting his hands on his hips. "And why the hell haven't you called me these past few weeks?"
