chapter fourty seven.

Ella had her head on Isaac's shoulder. "Hey, you okay?" Stiles asked Scott. Scott looked at him, "Yeah. Yeah. You don't have to worry about me." "All right, I'll say it," Isaac spoke up, "You look like you're dying. You're pale, thin and you look like you're getting worse. And we're all sitting here thinking it. When we find the other you, is he gonna look like he's getting better?"

"What happens if he gets hurt?" Scott asked.

"You mean if he dies, do I die? I don't care. Just so long as no else dies because of me. I remember everything I did, Scott. I remember pushing that sword into you. I remember twisting it," Stiles said. "It wasn't you," Ella reminded. "Yeah, but I remember it. You guys gotta promise me. You can't let anyone else get hurt because of me," Stiles said. Scott looked at Isaac and Ella then looked back at Stiles, nodding. The Jeep pulled up to the gate of Oak Creek, everyone jumping out and slamming the doors shut and walking up to Allison and Kira.

"We've done this before, guys. A couple of weeks ago we were standing around just like this and we saved Malia, remember? That was a total stranger. This is Lydia," Scott nodded. "I'm here to save my best friend," Allison nodded. "I came to save mine," Scott looked at Stiles. Ella looked at her brother, "I came to save my brother." Stiles wrapped an arm around Ella. "I just didn't feel like doing any homework," Isaac said before being the first to walk into the old camp. Scott looked at Ella who looked back at him and nodded, following everyone into the camp. Scott and Stiles separated from their group, Ella going with Isaac, Allison and Kira. "Kira, turn around and go home. Take your friends with you," Noshiko nodded.

"I can't," Kira said, Allison readying a bow, "When I looked at the game I realized who I was actually playing. You." "Call them off," Allison said, pointing the arrow towards Noshiko. "You think you could take him alive? You think you can save him?" Noshiko asked. "What if we can?" Kira asked. "I tried something like it 70 years ago. Your friend is gone," Noshiko said. "Are you sure? Or if Stiles doesn't have to die. Maybe Rhys didn't have to die either?" Kira asked, stepping closer as the two Oni's behind Noshiko readied their ninjatos.

"I see I'm no longer the Fox now, Kira. You are. But the Nogitsune is still my demon to bury," Noshiko said, the Oni's disappearing. Noshiko gasped, looking down at her hand. "Mom?" Kira asked. "What is that? What does that mean?" Isaac asked. "It means there's been a change in ownership," everyone turned to see Void with all five Oni's behind him, "Now they belong to me." Kira tossed a sword to Ella, Ella taking it with her blue eyes glowing and she began to fence with the Oni's. Their swords clashed together, the Oni stumbling back. Ella turned, fighting against another one of the creatures. Allison then shot an arrow towards it, the Oni quickly turning and cutting it in half.

Ella kicked the Oni in the stomach, then clashed her sword against theirs. Kira was doing the same, dodging the swords. One Oni then cut Isaac across the summer, causing Ella to shout out Isaac's name and dodge the Oni's swing and go under the sword, making her way towards Isaac. An Oni slashed Ella's arm, causing her to shout out in pain and turned, flashing her blue eyes repeatedly, the Oni rolling its head. They continued to battle, Isaac being cut by the Oni all over his body. Isaac fell to his knees, looking weak. Allison then grabbed a bow and steadied it before shooting it at an Oni. Allison froze for a second, watching as a bright lime green erupted from the Oni then busted into ash on the ground; the ground beginning to shake violently, causing everyone to stop what they were doing and stumble. Ella turned, seeing Allison smile the tiniest bit. Then Ella saw something that would change her life forever. "ALLISON!" Ella shouted loudly as an Oni went at her and impaled the brunette. Her body jerked back, Allison gasping loudly.

Scott threw open the gate as the Oni pulled the sword out of Allison's body. Kira runs to her mother, Ella runs to Isaac who looked over at Allison. Isaac caught Ella when Scott caught Allison, Scott collapsing to the ground. Allison held her stomach, "Did you find her?" Allison looked up at Scott, "Is she okay? Is Lydia safe?" "She's okay. Yeah," Scott said, lightly grabbing the wrist that was on her stomach and tried to take her pain, but none of the black veins that usually showed didn't come up.

"I can't," Scott shook his head, "I can't take your pain." "It's because it doesn't hurt," Allison shook her head, "It's okay." "Allison," Scott sobbed, holding her tight. "It's okay. It's okay," Allison coughed up some blood yet tried to smile, "It's okay. It's perfect." Allison nodded with tears in her eyes, "I'm in the arms of my first love. The first person I ever loved. The person I'll always love. I. . . I love you. Scott." Allison reached up and touches his lips, "Scott McCall." "Don't, please, don't," Scott sobbed, shaking his arms as he adjusted her, "Allison don't, please."

"You love Ella with all of your heart," Allison whispered, trying to laugh. Ella sobbed into Isaac's arms, holding him tightly. "You have to tell my dad," Allison's voice cracked, "And you have to tell my dad. Tell him—" Allison started to breath heavy, Scott eyeing her as her head leaned back. "No! No, no, Allison," Scott repeated. Allison's hand that had been on her stomach fell to the ground.

Isaac looked down at Ella, Ella looking up at him with tears in her eyes. She squeezed her eyes shut, more tears falling the way Scott's were. Isaac squeezed Ella tightly to his chest, the two of them letting out shaky breaths as they fell together. Running footsteps were heard, Ella looking up to see Chris putting down his gun. Ella's chest heaved up and down, Isaac kissing her temple and putting his hand onto her cheek to hold her closer as her loud sobs echoed.

And then. . an angel was sent back to her home.
