The Secret Lightwood

Chapter Sixteen

Alec's POV

He just came at me and punched me.

"They trusted you. Now one's unconscious two are also in the hospital. And Allison's who knows where possessed by an evil trickster spirit who wants Stiles still. So let me ask. While all of this was happening. WHERE WERE YOU!!" He then just repeatedly kept hitting me. The others stood in shock until they realized what was going on and then pulled him off of me. It took four of them to pull him off of me and another two to contain him.

"Stiles Stilinski." We heard a voice call. We didn't want to seem suspicious so only myself, Izzy, Jace, and Scott went up there. The rest would divvy up for Lydia and Isaac.

"He's in a coma,"those words immediately destroyed my hope, but Jace looked like he was going to murder someone,"but it doesn't seem like it's caused by anything we've ever seen before. It's almost like he's doing it to himself. Like he's forcing himself to sleep." I looked at Scott and the only expression I could see from him was shock, but I honestly think we all were.

The only question right now is why's he doing it to himself? What's scaring him so bad that he won't wake up?

"You can see him now. And since I'm guessing the whole crowd here is for him and the other two keep it to one or two at a time please. Three is the highest I can accept at once though." We nodded and signaled for the others to follow us.

After a minute we did reach Stiles room. We decided that Izzy, Jace, and I would go in first and then let the others come in. When we walked in it honestly scared me seeing him so pale in a hospital room that had more color than he did. Izzy was crying even before she came in and now it was worse. We're shadowhunters. This isn't supposed to happen. Jace still looked murderous, and me well I was just in pure shock and denial. Like this didn't happen and Stiles is just going to pop up and yell how he so pranked us and everyone was in on it but us. I just want all of this to be over. To have my family under one roof safe from harm, healthy, and not lying on hospital beds deciding whether they want to die or not.

Scott's POV

I couldn't do it. When I watched them come out of that room. Izzy with her tear stained face, and Alec looking so pale I bet Stiles looked better than him. So I ran. I ran as fast as I possibly could and as far as I could before I collapsed to my knees in an emotional breakdown. There was a building next to me though, and it just so happened to be a church, so I went in.

There was a giant cross in the front that I made my way up to. No one was there so I didn't have to worry about being embarrassed, so I got on my knees and placed my hands in a person position.

"Look God. I know I don't talk to you very often, barely actually, and I know I have no right to be speaking to you now, but I have a couple favors to ask of you. A girl I used to date who is one of my greatest friends is possessed by an evil spirit. Please let her get through it. Then my other two friends Isaac Lahey, and Lydia Martin are in the hospital and I don't even know what's going to happen to them. I was hoping you could make it less painful for them. Finally my best friend is in the hospital currently in a coma and they don't know if he'll ever wake up. Please let him be alright. I don't know what I would do if he wasn't in this world anymore. The truth is I wouldn't want to live in a world that didn't have Stile is it." I chuckled softly before wiping the tears that were sliding down my face away.

"When we were younger. Stiles and I were so close that it would've seemed like we were stuck together. As the years went on that bond slowly started to weaken until suddenly I started acting like a jerk because I had a crush on a girl. Then I became possessed and said some things that I really didn't mean. They were things put into my mind. Then when I saw him about to die I beat it and pushed him out of the way of a moving vehicle. But I can't help but think that all of this is my fault. That he won't wake up. I know that sounds conceited, but what if it really is my fault? That he doesn't want to wake up because he thinks that all he's facing is a nobody that he doesn't even like anymore." More tears were running down my face and falling to the carpet. I wasn't even bothering to wipe them away anymore. Just that I didn't even care anymore.

"Don't worry I won't waste anymore of your time. Just please make sure my friends are okay, because they might just seem like just another couple of people to you, but to me they're the reasons I wake up and the morning, and the reason I'm still standing here today, because I can guarantee without them I wouldn't be able to stand here in front of you today.

The tears were then wiped off of my face, but when I turned around I was met with a sight I wasn't expecting.

"Hey. I followed you to see if you were okay." It was Simon. That vampire that Stiles befriended.

"Yeah I'm fine. Thanks for checking on me though. I'm not the one you should be worrying about though. It's all of our friends who are out there injured and possessed." I lowered my head a little bit trying to hide my face. Then I felt a hand tip it up. Looking up I saw Simon's eyes staring thoughtfully into mine.

"Do you really think that just because other things are going on right now that that means you aren't allowed to have feelings of your own?" Oh my god. Did he really just say that. Okay I might like vampires. Does that mean I am a weird werewolf if I think Vampires are cool?

"Never excuse your feelings like that. Yes Stiles is in a coma, Lydia and Isaac are in bad condition, and again Allison is off who knows where doing who knows what, but everything will get better and you want to know how I know that?" I looked up out of my own free will and nodded.

"I know because we have to have a happy ending. But a happy ending has to start somewhere so let's make the first step." I nodded again. Only this time I was more confident than before.

I knew exactly what he was thinking before he even said it though. I don't know it just felt like a connection that had always been there.

We were going to go find Allison.

And nothing was going to stop us.

Not even void.
