The Fallen ➵Lahey

//In which she admits the truth//

"Layla" I hear a teasing voice as I open my eyes. I feel a huge pounding in my head. I look to see a man smiling at me as I'm tied to a chair in what looks like the Argent's garage.

"How do you know my name?" I ask. "How did you survive the bite?" he asks and I give a look of confusion.

"I don't know" I say and he nods as he walks over to me. He grabs a fist full of my hair and twists making me scream in pain.

"Such a pretty little thing but if you don't start telling me what I want to hear then I'll make sure you are beaten so badly that you're unrecognizable" he threatens making me gulp in fear as my head throbs.

"I'm gonna ask you a set of questions, most of which I already know, so if you lie then you get punished" he says as I cry. "Who is the Kanima?" he asks but I stay silent. I may be a lot of things but a snitch isn't one.

"Okay then" he says pulling out a taser making my eyes widen. "I've got it from here" I hear Mr.Argent's voice making me slump a little in relief.

"I was just getting started" the man sighs as he walks out of the garage and Mr.Argent walks towards me. "I want you to listen to me, I need you to run and don't look back. Gerard isn't going to stop until he's won and you're a pawn in his game. You need to leave and stay home" Chris says untying me and I nod.

"Stay safe, Layla" he says opening the big garage door and I make a run for it. My feet hitting the road as I run.

The funny thing is I never knew I could run so fast but I guess it's the adrenaline. The thought of me dying is enough to make me run a marathon.

"Layla?" I hear my mom's voice as I shut the front door and lean against it panting. "Layla!!!"Lydia yells running towards me and hugs me in a death grip.

"Where were you?" she asks as I shake. She pulls me into the kitchen and quickly gets me a glass of water. I quickly chug the water down.

"I'm just really tired" I say walking away and she looks at me. "I'm headed to see Stiles, do you want to come?"she asks as I stumble up the stairs.

"No just tell him I'm sorry" I mumble as I walk up the stairs. "Well Jackson's dead" she says crying.I enter my room and fall onto my bed.

"Layla" my mom says as I snuggle into my bed. "hmmm" I mumble.

"Where have you been and what happened at the lacrosse game?" she asks me and I shrug. "I'm so tired" I mumble as I close my eyes. "LAYLA!!!"she yells making me wide awake.

"This has got to stop. I'm your mother and you need to respect me. So when I ask you where you've been I expect a response" she says as I stare at her. "I was at Allison's house" I say which technically is the truth.

"Well you could have called or told your sister" she says. "I'm sorry?" she asks and I nod. "I just wish you would care" she says. "I do care. I care so much" I say.

"You don't even tell me what's been going in your life. I feel like we are complete strangers who just happen to live in the same house" she says.

"You want to know what's happening in my life? Well let's see, It turns out that this town is so far from normal. There is an amazing guy who apparently is in love with me and would do anything for me but I just don't feel the same and I feel like a bitch for it.

My best friend isn't even really my best friend anymore. I'm starting to develop feelings for a guy who I shouldn't like. My grades are dropping . I'm seeing things that aren't even there and I'm just loosing my freaking mind. I'm loosing myself.

I've fallen and I don't know if I can get up so I am so sorry if I'm not what you wanted. All I am asking for is an hour or two of sleep so please mom, let me sleep" I say pulling the covers over me.

I feel my mom sit beside me and she starts rubbing my back like she use to do when I was little. "It's gonna be okay" she says and I silently laugh at how stupid that statement is. There is no possible way of knowing that everything will be okay.

"Layla you've got to wake up" I hear Stiles' voice. I open my eyes to see I'm in the back of his jeep. "What the hell?".

"We sort of kidnapped you but for a good reason" Lydia says from the passenger seat as I sit up. "What's happening?" I ask rubbing my head.

"We're gonna save Jackson" Lydia says as I lean back in the seat as we drive straight towards but looks like a warehouse. "Stiles your gonna go right through if you don't stop" I say as he floors it. I scream as we drive straight through.

I feel the jeep hit something and I open my eyes as we stop. "Did I get him?" Stiles asks. "Stiles!!! What the hell?" I yell as the kanima jumps onto the hood of the jeep and Lydia screams along with Stiles and I.

We quickly get out. "Jackson!" Lydia says and I go to step forward but Isaac pulls me back as the Kanima goes to slash Lydia's neck and Stiles screams her name.

She quickly holds out the house key Jackson had given her and he stops his hand in mid air. He starts changing back to his normal self as he takes the key from her.

He starts to back away from her and I watch as Derek and Peter? Peter!!! impales Jackson with their claws. It takes so much for me to stay still and not kick Peters ass. How the hell is he alive?!?!

Jackson falls into Lydia's arms and I start crying. I quickly look away burying my face in the nearest chest. I look back to see Lydia standing up as Jackson's body lays on the ground and I start to sob harder.

"I'm sorry for calling him an asshole" I sob into Isaac's chest and Isaac rubs my back. I quickly turn as I hear the scraping of claws and look to see Jackson scraping the ground with his claws.

He slowly gets up and leans back letting out a growl and I look to see he has electric blue eyes. "He's a werewolf" I whisper. Scott looks at Stiles who has tear stains on his cheeks.

"He scratched my Jeep" Stiles says and I slightly laugh as I wipe my tears away. I pull away from Isaac and look up at him.

"I'm sorry I wet your shirt" I say and he smiles. "It's okay" he says as we awkwardly stand here. "Well I guess I'll see you around" I say and he nods. I quickly walk away from him.

"I'll see you around? Really Layla?" I scold myself. "It's cute that you talk to yourself" Isaac whispers in my ear before walking away with Derek.
