The Runaway || Isaac Lahey Book 1

The end of the end

"Somehow, I don't find that very comforting." Derek said, "Get him inside." He looked at me, Scott and Isaac.

As we were carrying the body I thought I should warn Isaac. "Hey, Isaac?"

"Mhmm"

"Chris doesn't know about us, just so you're aware. He might have figured it out but I doubt it. Just a warning, sorry in advance."

"You do realize that both of your "dad's" own guns and use them on a daily bases."

"I just put that together now."

We put the body down and waited. Derek argued with just about everyone, like always. I kind of tuned out until Chris had his gun out. I grabbed mine from the back of my pants. Jackson was holding Derek up by his claws and threw him.

"Well done to the last, Scott. Like the concerned friend you are, you brought Jackson to Derek to save him. You just didn't realize that you were also bringing Derek to me." I pointed my gun at him when I heard an arrow release.

I watched Isaac go down. Don't let your emotions control you. "Isaac talk to me!" Nothing. "Scott go, get him out of here!" I scream at him.

Chris and I start shooting at Jackson, to which he hisses at and goes behind the car. Jackson rips Chris's gun away and I step in front of him. Jackson pushed me from Chris, making me hit my head. I tried to get up, but I fell back down.

I crawled over to where everyone was just to watch Allison cut up my boyfriend. I fought my way up, still dizzy. I heard Scott, "He's doing what he came here to do."

"Then you know. 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 smell it, couldn't you?"

"He's dying," Isaac said.

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

Jackson chocked Allison, "You monster."

"Not yet," Gerard stated.

"What are you doing?" Allison asked.

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

"When it comes to survival, I'd kill my own son! I'd kill my hunter granddaughter, taught since birth. Now...Scott."

The next couple of minutes, my vision was going in and out. I dropped onto the floor again and felt the back of my head, it was wet. Blood. I looked back up  with heavy eyes to Gerard, now bitten. His wound poured out black liquid. Then his eyes ears and nose started bleeding the moutain ash out as well.

I saw Gerard pass out and as much as I didn't want to. I ran over to check his pulse. Once I felt it, I sat down on the floor. My eyes felt heavier than ever an I was starting to drift. "Isaac..." I whisper.

He and Derek came over to me. "I need to go to the hospital. You need to tell them I hit my head, while we are driving there. Someone needs to put their claw finger thing into my skin, so I don't fall into a coma. Is everyone clear? Great, let's move." Isaac lifted my up and Chris drove to the hospital.

They said I would be fine, that Isaac "pinching me" saved my life. The next morning I was released and Derek told us to meet up with him. He and Peter, I drove Isaac and I close to the Hale house. We walked the rest of the way up, holding hands.

We saw the door, it had a mark on it. I closed my eyes, we just defeated the Kanima and Gerard. We did not need this too. "You haven't told them everything yet, have you?" Peter asked.

"What do you mean?" Isaac questioned.

"Why do you think Derek was in such a hurry to build his pack? So eager to strengthen his power and his numbers?"

"When there's a new alpha, people take notice." I finished for Peter.

"People like who? What is this? What does this mean?"

"It's their symbol." I tell Isaac.

"And it means they're coming," Derek said.

"Who?"

"Alphas."

"More than one?"

"A pack of them."

"An alpha pack. And they're not coming." Peter said, looking at me.

"They're already here," I said and looked at my watch, "And I have to go. See you later boys."

"Lena-" Derek started.

"Derek, we have already talked about this. I am committed to this pack, but I have made promises to other people too. One of them includes helping Stiles with his shooting and tutoring Scott. I completely booked. I'll see you later alright?" I smiled at all of them.

I jog up to Isaac, kissing him goodbye. "I love you."

"Love you." He said back.

"Does Chris know about this?" Derek called.

"Nope, and we keeping it that way for the time being." I ran to my car and smiled.

Then raced to the school and parked my car on the field. I grabbed my stuff from the back and yelled at Scott and Stiles from across the field, "You boy's ready?!"
