The Fallen ➵Lahey

//In which she's gone//

"GET UP"Lydia yells yanking the covers off of me but I don't move. "You've been acting so strange and different but I just figured maybe it's a phase but now I don't know what to think. You've been keeping secrets" Lydia complains as I just stare at my wall.

"Did you know that Matt Daehler is dead. The police station was trashed last night and there was like this gun fight happening there. They found Matt's body not that far away, he drowned" Lydia says and I shrug.

"There's a game in a few and we're going to it" she says as the tears leave my eyes. "Why are you crying?" she asks as her voice softens and she kneels beside my bed.

"Who am I ?" I ask her and she furrows her eyebrows. "You're Layla Martin, the strongest and most beautiful person I know"she says making me laugh.

"We're twins" I say and she nods. "Exactly" she says winking at me as she gets up. "Get ready so I can drive us to the game. Be ready in ten" she says leaving my room.

I wipe the tears from my eyes as I get up. I walk into my closet and pick out a simple white sundress.

I braid my hair into a loose faux dutch braid and I pull my baby hairs out to the sides. I grab a caramel colored cardigan and slip on a pair of matching sandals.

I look in the mirror letting a few tears fall from my face. I'm so lost, I have no idea what's happening and I'm so scared that one day I'm gonna wake up to find out that someone close to me is dead.

I let a few more tears fall before I violently wipe them away. "I'm stronger then this. I'm Layla freaking Martin and I'm so much more stronger the this" I repeat like a mantra.

"You're gonna go to this game and be as happy as you can possibly be because you are Layla Martin, a fighter and a survivor" I tell myself and take a deep sigh as I take one last glance. I leave my room and walk downstairs to see Lydia patiently waiting.

"Ready?".

"Ready."

"Let's go sit with Sheriff Stilinski and Ms.McCall"Lydia says and I nod as we walk over to them on the bleachers and sit. "Hi"I smile to Ms.McCall and she smiles back.

"You like lacrosse?" Ms.McCall asks me and I shrug. "It's not really my thing but Lydia loves to watch it" I say and Ms.McCall nods as I look at the field.

"Oh my god, is that Stiles on the field?" I ask and Sheriff nods. "COME ON STILES!!!" I scream and he smiles at me as I wave.

I search the field for Isaac but I don't see any sight of him. I don't know why but lately Isaac is one of the few people on my mind which I find quite funny considering that he was all up for killing my sister and I. But then again he did save my life, twice.

I spend most of the time playing flappy bird and subway surfers on my phone. "Oh look who showed up" Lydia says and I look at her.

"What are you talking about?" I ask and she points towards Scott. I look to see Isaac sitting beside him as they talk and it instantly brings a smile to my face.

Isaac turns and looks at me. He gives me a smile and I smile back but his face soon turns into a scowl as he looks over at Gerard who is standing beside the bleachers on the opposite end.

"Looks like you're feeling better"Lydia comments and I shrug.

"Where's Allison, she's usually here " I say and Lydia shrugs. "She's been acting different too lately, worse then you have" Lydia comments. I turn to the field to see Isaac flip someone from his own team. "Lahey!"Coach yells.

Coach sends another player in only for Isaac to injure another one. "What is he doing?" Lydia asks and I shrug. Coach sends another player in and Isaac injures like three more.

"Lahey! Seriously, what the hell is your problem?" Coach asks pointing at Isaac as he stands on the field and Isaac opens his arms and shrugs making me giggle.

The whistle is blown and next thing you know Jackson rams into Isaac and Isaac is on the ground. Jackson takes off his helmet and walks away with a smirk while I run off the bleachers. I walk up as the paramedics put him on a stretcher. Scott finishes talking to him.

"Isaac, are you okay?" I ask as I hover over him. "Yeah, I'm fine" he says and i nod. "Just stay away from Gerard and Jackson" he says and I nod as the Paramedics carry him away.

I look over at Gerard and he sends a wicked smile my way as I walk back onto the bleachers. "I'm gonna go to the bathroom" I tell Lydia and she nods as I walk towards the inside of the school.

I run to the bathroom and turn the sink on. I splash some water onto my face and sigh as I grip the counter. "Just Breathe"I whisper.

I walk out of the girls bathroom and start to walk back towards the field until I hear the sound of metal scraping coming from the boys locker room.

I walk in to see Gerard scraping the same sword he used that night to slice that man in half on the floor and two other men follow him as they start to corner Isaac as he leans against the wall by the mirrors and sinks. My heart starts pounding at the thought of Isaac ending up like that man and me being the one to witness it.

"Isaac" I call and all heads turn to me. "Grab her" Gerard says to one of the men and the man yanks me as I struggle in his arms.

Gerard grabs me from him. "How does one survive the bite of an Alpha?" he asks as he touches my face. "Let her go" Isaac says and Gerard laughs.

"Oh don't tell me you have a thing for little miss redhead. Heartbreak is written all over this one. She's already broken one young mans heart, maybe I should him out of his misery too" Gerard teases as he shoves me to the side and goes to swing his sword at Isaac but stops when he sees Scott's reflection in the mirror and I turn to see Scott.

I sigh in relief and thank God that Scott showed up in time. Scott starts throwing the men that are helping Gerard around as I run over to Isaac. "You okay?" he asks and I nod. "It seems like you're asking me that question" I say.

"it seems like you're always getting yourself into trouble" he says and I smile. "Where is he?" Scott asks and we look around to see Gerard gone.

"Stiles" I whisper. "What, what about him?" Scott asks worried. "Gerard said that I'm a heart breaker and that I've already broken someones heart. He said he should just put him out of his misery. It's Stiles, I know how he feels about Lydia and I.

I confronted him about it and let him down easy. It's Stiles" I say running out of the locker room and onto the field. Scott runs ahead of me and so does Isaac.

I look over at Jackson to see his eyes doing that weird change again. The buzzer goes and everyone starts cheering that we won.

The lights all go out and I feel myself being lifted and the person carrying me starts running. I let out a scream hoping that someone can help but the lights are out.
