The Fallen ➵Lahey

//In which she sees something she wishes she hadn't//

It was weird. One minute I was dancing in the gym and the next I was bleeding out on the field next to my sister. I don't understand what I did for this to happen to me. I know I may not be the easiest person to get along with but who would go to such lengths to cause physical harm to me or my sister.

Things in this town have been very strange. I had noticed how weird Stiles and Scott had been acting especially the night we were nearly murdered inside the school. Things just haven't been adding up.

I open my eyes as I continue watching an episode of full house on the hospital television. I would go next door to see how my sister is doing but my dad says it's best to just give her some space seeing that she is moodier than me. "How are you feeling?" my mom asks as she enters my hospital room.

"Fine, I guess".

"You know the doctor says that what happened to you and Lydia is quite strange. You both were bitten in the same place and similar bite marks" my mom says and I shrug as I start flipping through the channels.

"What are you trying to say? I don't remember anything and if you think I planned this then you must be really stupid" I say bitterly and she nods.

Remember how I said Lydia is the moodier twin well I can still be a bitch but she just throws it down ten times harder. "I'm gonna go get you something to drink" my mom says leaving the room and I sigh. My sister and I are the only ones that truly get each other.

I get up from the bed and slowly ease my way out of my room and into my sisters but before I go in I notice Stiles sleeping in a hospital chair with two balloons. I push my sisters door open to see her going into the bathroom.

"Lydia" I call and she turns.

"You're okay" she says as she hugs me.The doctors wouldn't allow her to see me because they said my condition was much more critical but I'm fine now.

"Yeah, go take your shower. I'm just gonna wait in here" I tell her and she nods as she walks into the bathroom. I sit on her hospital bed and turn on the TV. I groan at the crappy entertainment that is on but jump when I hear something like a crash. I ignore it and slightly lift up my hospital dress.

I haven't looked at the damage that was done because a part of me was scared for some reason. As I go to lift my dress up I hear Lydia gagging and rush to the bathroom. I open the door and walk in. "Lydia are you okay?" I ask worried as she starts gasping. "Lydia?".

She starts screaming and suddenly my mind goes blank and I start to see what Lydia must have seen in the shower. Lydia rushes out the shower and through the window. For some reason I follow her. I try to stop but my feet continue moving. Lydia starts running and I do the same.

We run into the woods and I start to sob. For some reason I start sobbing violently. Lydia slows down and grabs a hold of my hand as we wander through the woods. "I'm scared" I whisper but she doesn't answer. Instead she squeezes my hand tighter as she pulls me through the woods.

Two days later

I lost Lydia a day ago and I'm terrified. I turned away for a minute and when I turned back she was gone. I've always been dependent on Lydia, she took care of both of us but for now I am on my own.

I continue walking through the woods hoping that maybe I can find help but I all I can really think about is my sister. She is butt ass naked in the woods, at least I still have my hospital gown.

As I continue walking I notice Scott McCall from school and Derek Hale holding him behind a tree as they stare at something. My eyes follow the direction they are staring at to see Allison's grandfather with a sword in his hand and a man hanging on a tree by his wrist.

Confusion runs through me as I continue watching. I watch as Gerard swings the sword towards the man and slices him in two. I quickly cover my mouth to stop the scream that I feel rising in me. I start to cry as I lean against a tree. I hold the vomit that so desperately wants to leave my mouth in.

"Layla?" I hear my name being called and wrap my arms around my knees as I cradle myself back and forth. I suddenly feel myself being lifted bridal style but don't saying anything.

I only look up to see Derek Hale carrying me. "How much do you think she saw?" Scott asks Derek as if I'm not even here.

"Enough" I whisper causing Derek to look down at me as he hands me over to Scott. "Take her to the paramedics" he tells him and Scott nods as he walks me towards the ambulance truck where I spot my sister being taken care of.
