Allison's POV

He wasn't breathing.

Stiles wasn't breathing, and even though Erica was doing everything in her power to keep him alive, it still wasn't putting him in the clear of all of this.

We're too young for this.

None of this should be happening to us! We should be going to parties and worrying about grades. Not worrying about if our friend is going to make it through some alien poison thingy because of magic.

It's completely and utterly ridiculous. And it's unfair. And I understand that life's unfair, but we won the lottery of bad luck.

And just when I thought that we had gone through the roof, Stiles shot up gasping for air and fell right into my awaiting arms.

You could hear Sophia's sigh of disappointment at him being alive, but we didn't care about anything that she was doing.

Stiles was alive. He was alive, and for right now he wasn't going to die so that's definitely something to be grateful for.

"Why can't you rangers ever stay down!" She screeched before forcefully knocking Isaac to the ground and kicking him roughly in the stomach before looking up at us with nothing other than pure anger.

"Now now Sophia. Don't cause a ruckus. We'll just have to take them out a different way that's all." That's when the emperor decided to make his appearance from the darkness as he placed a hand on her shoulder.

Then the monster that Liam had previously described came and stood next to the two of them.

Was this the one that had almost killed Stiles in the first place?

"You shall finish off the blue one. Sophia and I will handle the rest."

Yeah, they were crazy if they thought they were getting anywhere near Stiles without losing a limb. So I hauled his limp body back until I reached a wall.

"Allison! Keep him safe! We'll take care of these guys!" Isaac yelled as he, Liam, and Erica shifted and launched themselves towards the three others.

We weren't going to win.

I know that sounds pessimistic, but our chances of making it out of here were slim even before coming in here, but now we can't morph, Stiles is unconscious, and we have absolutely no idea what we're up against.

Right now, I had nothing other than my fists and hopefully my brain to keep whatever's left of Stiles's magic from being drained by this monster, and I was going to do whatever I could to help him stay safe.

"Liam use your werewolf strength!" Isaac yelled at Liam as he got knocked to the floor for the countless time.

Then they started bickering which caused them to lose focus on the enemy and suddenly Erica was having to deal with three monsters at the same time which was overwhelmed even for her.

"Stiles, if you can hear me, I need you to wake up. I don't know how long I'm going to be able to protect you. You might need to do that yourself in a minute."

Still unresponsive, but at least he was still breathing and his heart was still beating.

....

The others weren't doing good. It was obvious that they were outmatched, and this monster thing had successfully knocked Liam out and was on his way towards the two of us.

I was backed up as far as I could possibly be into the wall, but at this point, we were practically sitting ducks just waiting for him. 

"Mind if I take the rest of what I want?" The monster asked sinisterly as it stalked closer to us.

It must've been trying to sound creepy or something, but it's delivery was almost comedic. Key word, almost, I wasn't laughing right now because it was very certain that I was going to die.

"If you touch him, I'll kill you."

The monster must've thought I was kidding or something, because it just laughed and stalked even closer, and no matter how much I tried to back away, I was as far against the wall as I could possibly get.

"Then I won't touch him at all how's that." Then it did that weird magic sucky thing that it did before and all I could see was blue being sucked out of him.

"NO!" I screamed, before I threw myself at it and knocked it to the ground. The whole thing stopped and Stiles slumped back against the wall.

"You idiot! You interrupted me!"

It's acting like that wasn't what I was meaning to do.

"I said I'd kill you, and I meant that."

I kicked it in the face so hard that it went falling to the ground, but it got up almost immediately after, so I had to use my surroundings.

There was a wooden board next to me, so I grabbed it and slammed it down on its back,but as soon as I smacked it with the board, the board broke so I had two of them, but it wasn't whole anymore.

"Puny ranger. You just don't know when to quit now do you?"

I stood there, breathing heavily from the anticipated exhaustion and held the two pieces of the wooden board defensively in front of myself.

"When it comes to protecting my friends, I'll never quit." I said meaningfully before charging at it once more.

With every attack I made, it had a defense, but how did it know the moves I was going to make before I was even making them?

Were the moves that I was using too predictable? They had to be if it was guessing what I was going to do before I could even do it.

If that was what was happening then all I had to do was figure out a move I could use that would catch it off guard enough for me to win this once and for all.

I got it.

"Hey Crab Face! Check this out." I went in and made it look like I was going to go for its life side, but in the last moment, I jumped and jammed the wooden board down through its head.

It fell to the floor as soon as I had reached the ground and exploded as I walked away back to Stiles.

Before I reached him though, I turned around to look at where it had just previously been.

"I told you I would kill you."
