"Stiles! Where are you going?!" The Wright girl shouted as she caught up with his running figure, clearly in better physical shape than him thanks to the cross-country.
"Scott!" Stiles yelled as he saw the werewolf at the end of the hall, but he was ignored by McCall as he ran towards the stairs.
Josie and Stiles stopped in front of the elevator, both giving Derek a worried look as the Alpha laid on the ground unconscious.
"GO!" The witch ordered Stiles. "I'll take care of him!"
She watched Stiles take off after Scott without blinking, she kneeled by Derek's side and cupped his face with her hand, trying to get a reaction out of him. She could feel it, the dark magic. He hand't passed out by a hard punch, his body had shut down because of the Darach's dark manipulation of magic.
She closed her eyes laying her hands over his chest. 'Relinquo tenebris, sans corporis.' She spoke, as small black specks began to leave the werewolf's body and disappearing into thin air.
Once it was over, she blinked a few times but frowned at the lack of reaction from him.
"Don't die on me Derek." She began to slap him awake. "I can't lose you, too."
Stiles came running back to them, shock still written on his face as he tried to catch his breath while kneeling down next to her.
"Help me wake him up." She pleaded.
The human turned his hand into a fist and made it collide with Derek's jaw, squealing at the pain it caused him. Just when he was about to do it again, Derek's arm shot up and tightly gripped his wrist. Stiles and Josie sighed in relief while the wolf began to remember his last moments before blacking out.
"Where is she?" The Alpha demanded to know.
"Jennifer? Gone, with Scott's mom." Stiles explained, hurt by his own words.
"She took her?" Josie asked turning to the boy with her features twisting in worry.
"Yeah. If that's not enough of a kick to the balls, Scott left with Ducalion, okay?" The witch gasped in disbelief, everything had gone so wrong too fast.
"We gotta get you out of here." The girl told Derek as she and the boy tried to help him stand.
"The police are coming right now, I-I ... I'll stay and hold them back." Stiles began to plan.
"Woah." Derek clenched his jaw in pain while standing. "What about Cora?"
"Isaac got her and Uncle Peter to safety." The witch explained. "Let's go!"
