"Alexa! Alexa, come on! Wake up!" Luca yelled as he shook me.
"I'm up." I said groggily. I clutched onto my pounding head as everything came into perspective. I sat up and looked Luca straight in the eyes. I could see the terror and nervousness that beamed through his gray eyes. I looked around the room and saw wh he was so scared. There were other unconscious, hopefully, people there, but we were in one of Araya's prisons.
"Oh my god. What has she done? Why would she lock us up here? We haven't done anything wrong." I said.
"I think now she is going to teach you." Luca responded. I heard moaning and looked around the room to see a light brown haired girl clutching her head as well.
"Who are you?" The girl said in a rude tone.
"I'm…" I trailed off unsure if I should tell the girl my name. This could just be trick of my aunt's. I thought back to the many fake identities I've had over the years.
"Hi, my name is Paige and this is my brother Xander." I said thinking back to our days as swimmers in Colorado.
"I am Malia. Stiles?!" Malia said as she ran over to Stiles who laid on the floor. She shook him awake as I presume Luca did to me. I felt a hand wrap around my arm.
"Why did you do that?" Luca whispered in my ear.
"I don't trust her. I only trust Lydia and Stiles." I looked around the room, but I couldn't find Lydia. Just another girl waking up, she had black hair and was clad in a skirt and tights with a leather jacket on top of her shirt.
"Why?" Luca breathed into my ear.
"Because, when I went out to get that wolfsbane, I saw them, they aren't helping Araya." I said, but I apparently said it too loud.
"Wait, did you say you got the wolfsbane?" Malia interrogated.
"Yeah? What do you care?" Luca quipped. I lightly touched his arm so as if trying to say don't.
"I care because that's what got us trapped in here in the first place. And who in the hell do you thi-" Malia was cut off by Stiles who put his hand over her mouth.
"I'm sorry. She was a coyote for eight years and has no manners." Stiles explained, but Malia whined in protest.
"A coyote? Did she magically transform?" I asked sarcastically.Stiles looked at the girl in the leather jacket confusedly.
"I have one question," Stiles asked and we nodded in approval, "do you believe in the supernatural?"
"Supernatural as in unicorns or the Easter Bunny?" I asked. No I didn't believe in the supernatural. I was raised by someone who doesn't follow the rules, but makes the rules. I never had Santa Claus, but rather the torture of knowing that he wasn't real at the age of 6.
"He's awake! Guys, stop fighting and get over here." The girl in the leather jacket said, hovering over a brunet guy. He looked to be about the age of all of us, but everyone acted like he was in rushed over to him, we did to,but we stayed back not wanting to interfere.
"Scott, you ok?" Stiles asked with fear.
"Yeah. They don't have him, they don't have Derek." Scott stated with worry.
"We know, but right now they've got Lydia." The girl in the leather informed.
"Lydia? What do they want with Lydia?" Scott asked. Scot immediately jumped up and tried to pry the metal door open.
"Don't bother. I already tried." Luca said.
"Who are you?" Scott asked, I looked at Luca hoping that he would go along with the cover.
"Xander, Xander Calavera." Luca introduced. Thank god he went along with it.
"Look, I say when that door opens again we take out whoever's standing in the way and make a run for it." Malia suggested, who was leaning up against a support beam.
"What about Lydia?" The girl in the leather jacket said. Okay this is bugging me. What the crap is her name!
"What about her?" Malia asked.
"We're not leaving without her." Scott contributed, joining our little circle.
"Why not?" Malia said, she actually looked confused.
"Why? You actually have to ask why! When you are trapped in a Calavera prison and you escape you don't leave someone behind!" I exclaimed, totally, completely, 100 percent dumbfounded.
"Because we don't leave people behind. Remember, we talked about this. Rules of the wild animal kingdom don't apply to friends." Stiles explained to her.
"Wild animal kingdom?" Luca asked, but no one listened.
"Is that what you would do as a coyote, leave her for dead?" The girl asked.
"If she was weak and injured, yeah. If hunting had been bad that season I would eat her."
"Eat her?!" I yelled "What the hell is wrong with you!"
Stiles turned to me and said "Believe it or not it's progress."
"Guys we're not dead yet. That means that Araya wants something. Paige, Xander, you said your last name is Calavera. Are you related?" Shit, I haven't thought this far.
"Yeah, she's… our… uh...aunt." I said. It wasn't the full truth, but it wasn't a lie.
"But if the Calaveras don't know where Derek is, that means they didn't take him from the loft. Right?" The girl said.
"Maybe he left on his own." Stiles remarked.
"Maybe someone else got to him." Scott suggested.
"Maybe he was never in the loft to begin with." I commented. The door burst open. Severo, Santiago and Tulio entered the room with a mission. Severo electrocuted Scott and punched Stiles as Santiago approached Luca and I. I didn't notice Luca had come in front of me, as if to guard me. I looked up into his gray eyes and then saw darkness.
