hope you like this imagine! i changed it up a little. sorry it took so long!❤
a lot of people say the world will end in fire, some say in ice. but do they ever think of how their world will end? do they ever think about the feelings they'll get upon death? no, not particularly. at least she never did.
the way y/n died was a mix of the two elements. the world around her felt like fire, the air all around was hot and burned as it hit her smooth skin. the supernatural drama that came along with being a witch in the McCall pack, the burning of her world. she could practically see all she had planned on doing once she got out of Beacon Hills, burning to the ground. her dreams turned to ashes.
the internal feelings were as cold as ice. the feeling of her body shutting down, the feeling of every emotion awakening, and most of all; the coldness of what her heart had become.
when she first became a part of the pack, she was automatically interested in one person. isaac lahey. theirs was a love that they both believed, had no limits. being with him made her feel normal and free. he made a better version of what she was. and she would forever be grateful for that.
a few weeks ago, isaac and y/n split up. the stress of the dread doctors and theo getting to them both. her more than him. she was certain this would be something they would get through together. like they always did. i mean, they got through a kanima, an alpha pack, a nogitsune, professional assassins. why couldn't they get through this? maybe it was because scott died or lydia being catatonic. perhaps it was theo broke up the pack, including the couple. no one would ever know.
but somehow, scott and stiles managed to get the pack back together. however, isaac and y/n didn't work out. they couldn't look at each other without their heart falling apart. she couldn't be in the same room as him without her world being shattered. they loved each other. and they knew they always would.
not to mention how out of whack her abilities were. witches need anchors too. someone to keep the magic from getting out of hand. isaac was y/n's anchor, so him not being there was affecting her even more than she originally thought it would.
scott, being the little shit he is, put them together for this particular mission. the pack was busting lydia out of eichen house. y/n had to use magic and she was terrified to use anything. she hadn't used it since before the break up. isaac must've noticed.
"hey, you'll do fine, y/n." isaac said suddenly, his voice soft and reassuring. it brought a soft smile to y/n's face. he was always gentle with her in every way. she lifted her head and looked at him.
"thanks, isaac. i'm just nervous. i mean i haven't used magic in a while, i don't have my anchor." y/n said, hands shaking in fear and anxiety.
isaac took both of her small hands in his large ones. he looked her in the eyes. "with or without your anchor, i'm certain you'll do amazing. you always do." his eyes scanned her whole face. god, i miss her, isaac thought.
before y/n could say anything, theo and his pack of chimeras walked in. "go," was all he said. tracy came running towards isaac and y/n used magic to push her back. the force so powerful it knocked her against the brick wall, knocking her out.
josh charged at isaac, electricity visibly radiating off of his body. josh's claws sunk into isaac's shoulder and the electricity roared through isaac's body. y/n's eyes widened once she realized what was happening. isaac screamed in pain. y/n closed her y/e/c eyes and concentrated all of her power into creating a shield to fall over isaac.
he stopped screaming and pushed josh back. y/n looked around and saw no sight of theo or corey. y/n actually liked corey, he wasn't a bad kid. just confused, so she knew he wasn't down here. but theo; she was not so sure. y/n felt something glide across her chest. warm liquid quickly came spilling from the area. she looked down and realized the wound was open and deep. not just a typical small cut.
the blood was quickly pooling around her feet and she knew in the back of her head, she wasn't gonna make it. she turned her head and saw theo standing next to her, an evil smirk on his face and his claws dropping with her blood. y/n screamed as the pain finally washed over her, causing isaac and josh to stop fighting.
theo motioned josh to go with him, that their job was done. isaac's eyes widened and he ran to y/n, catching her before her weak knees would collapse underneath her fragile body. he sat on the ground, y/n's body still in his arms and her blood all over his shirt. the warm, red liquid on his palm as he compressed her chest, trying to stop the bleeding. she even noticed drops on his scarf. she softly smiled when she thought about how much he loves scarves.
"isaac, did i get you that scarf?" y/n asked, softly. he smiled, tears in his eyes.
"yeah, you did. for christmas." he chuckled, but his voice broke.
"i remember that christmas." y/n told him. "it was when you spent christmas morning with me and my family." a flash of coldness washing over her body, making her shiver. isaac gripped onto me tighter.
"i woke you up that morning. i woke you up to kisses on your face. i remember when your eyes fluttered open, the sunlight hitting them just right. the specks of every color in your eye visible." isaac's tears falling down his face. he moved a piece of hair from her face. "i told you how much i love you and how one day i want to marry you."
"and i told you that i loved you." y/n said, her voice broke as the words fell from her mouth. she moved her cold hand to cup his cheek. "do you still love me, lahey?" the girl's words weak, her body shutting down. she could feel her heartbeat slowing down by the second. she knew he could hear it slowing down as well.
"more than anything, baby." isaac sobbed. his hand stroking her soft hair. "i-i love you, y/n."
"i love you, too, isaac. i always have. i always will." her breathing was getting louder. her lungs desperately fighting to finish what she wants to tell him. she will not go without saying something else. "you're the only thing in this whole world i truly loved. you're the only thing in this whole world that ever made sense. you made me realize what love was, isaac. and i'm so thankful that you came into my life."
"d-d-don't talk like that, y/n. don't talk like you're leaving me." isaac said. "you are my one true love. my smile. you're my laughter. you're my late nights. you're my early mornings. you mean everything to me. you are my best friend. my true love." his voice cracked once again, "my soulmate."
"i-i lo-" she began, but the words never finished leaving her mouth and her eyes slowly fluttered shut, but isaac knew what she was doing to say. isaac knew that she was just as in love with him as he was her.
isaac's eyes widened as he heard the beating stop. "no. n-no, no, no, no. you're not dead. you're not gone. please, please, please, please." isaac began whispering. "come back to me, please, baby. y/n, y/n, please. please, come back." when isaac finally realized his egging wasn't doing anything, he placed a kiss on her forehead.
when his lips met her cold skin, he couldn't help the sob that erupted from his throat. the noise echoing all around the room. isaac's sobbing was the only noise in the room. isaac felt every inch of his heart shatter. he felt all the breath being sucked out of his lungs. he would never love anyone like he did her. he would never be the same. and he knew that.
the pack was successful in saving lydia. but lydia knew. lydia knew that her best friend was gone. the scream so intense, it shattered the windows into animal clinic and cause lydia to fall unconscious.
when she came to, she immediately sat up. looking around. "where is she?" lydia had tears in her eyes. "w-where's y/n?"
"she's with isaac. she's fine, they should be here soon." scott said, eyebrows furrowed. lydia sobbed and fell into stiles' arms; just like she did when her other best friend died.
"she's gone." lydia whispered. scott was more than certain he could every single heart in that room break.
