Fallen » Isaac Lahey

Chapter 14

Derek's sharp claws came out and he went to dig them into Jackson's seemingly lifeless body but instead, Jackson's hand reached up and his claws jabbed into his stomach.

"Derek!" I screamed just as Jackson threw my brother backwards.

"Well done to the last, Scott. Like the concerned friend you are, you brought Jackson to Derek to save him. You just didn't realise that you were also bringing Derek to me"

An arrow suddenly came flying out of nowhere and Scott and I quickly jumped out of the way.

Unfortunately, Isaac didn't.

"Allison?" Scott whispered.

We both bent down next to Isaac who was groaning in pain.

I heard Derek growl and the four of us turned to look at each other. My brothers eyes glowed a cold steel blue and I looked over at Scott and Isaac, who's eyes were beta yellow. I started to shift and the four of us stepped out to face Jackson and Gerard.

Jackson lunged for my brother and Scott tried to grab Jackson but he threw him backwards. Isaac pushed Jackson backwards which ended up in him getting thrown into some large pieces of wood.

I jumped down and hit Jackson from behind but he threw me against a wall.

Ah, crap. That hurt.

I glanced down at my arm, which had landed at an awkward position.

"Asshole" I muttered, starting to stand up again, trying to put the bone of my arm back into place.

When I looked up, both Scott and Derek were on the floor. I turned to look at Isaac who was starting to try and get up but then Allison appeared, slashing him with her daggers and knocking him back down to the ground again.

"Stop it!" I yelled.

She came over to Derek and was about to literally fricking stab him when Scott shouted. "No, Allison!"

Jackson grabbed her wrist and knocked the daggers out of her hands. He then grabbed her by the throat.

"Not yet, sweetheart" Gerard spoke with a smug smile.

"What are you doing?" She asked.

"He's doing what he came here to do" Scott said.

"Then, you know?" Gerard replied.

"What's he talking about?" Allison questioned, looking between everyone, searching for answers.

"It was that night outside the hospital, wasn't it, when I threatened your mother. I knew I saw something in your eyes. You could just smell it, couldn't you?" Gerard looked at Scott who nodded.

"He's dying" Isaac spoke up. I started to slowly move towards him. When I reached him, he wrapped his arm protectively around my waist.

"I am. I have been for a while now. Unfortunately, science doesn't have a cure for cancer yet. But the supernatural does"

"You monster!" Chris said through gritted teeth.

"Not yet" Gerard smiled.

"What are you doing?" Allison shouted desperately.

"You'll kill her too?" Chris asked.

"When it comes to survival, I'd kill my own son!" Gerard answered harshly.

"Scott" Gerard looked at him.

Scott edged towards Derek who was in pain on the floor. He reached down and dug his claws into Derek's neck, making him stand up.
