Chapter Ten

Lies. All of it was a lie. Even her name wasn't real. How the hell was this possible? Unless this was a silly joke, could it really be true? The sound of her heart beating like a freight train was blocking out the shouts of Scott and Stiles who were struggling to think of how to lock the double doors. Her eyes were glazed over, staring motionless at the row of lockers in front of her.

"Stiles no don't!" Scott shouted, bringing Crystal out of her zoned out state to notice Stiles pushing open one of the doors and bolting outside.

"Stiles!" Crystal screamed. She wanted to run and pull him back inside but Scott grabbed her hand, yanking her back inside. The two of them peered out the window at their friend who was crouched on the ground, bolt cutters in hand.

"Oh god" Crystal gasped. Scott followed her gaze as they noticed the Alpha creeping around the side of Stiles' jeep.

"Stiles!" Scott shouted, banging his hand on the door to grab his attention.

"Run you idiot!" Crystal screamed. Soon he was back inside, the bolt cutters holding the door closed, for now.

"That won't hold it, will it?" Scott asked. Stiles shook his head, panting as he shone the flashlight down the long dark and deserted hallway.

"What now?" Crystal asked but before anyone could answer a howl echoed nearby as they all sprinted down the hallway and into an empty classroom.

Scott and Stiles grabbed the first thing which looked heavy enough to block the door, the teacher's desk.

"Wait stop" Stiles said and lent his weight on the desk. "The door isn't going to keep it out, alright" Crystal looked from one to the other. A few minutes ago she was furious at them, wanted to punch them both in the face for keeping the truth from her but now. Now she just wanted to make sure they were both safe, keep them away from the Alpha, especially Stiles.

"I know" Scott snapped. The two of them began to argue about the Alpha. Stiles backing up Derek's previous theory that it was Scott's boss. Crystal turned her back on them and walked slowly to the window. Her eyes searched for him, he must be out there somewhere. What if he was hurt? Of course he was hurt, blood had dripped from his mouth when the Alpha attacked him before throwing him against the side of the building.

"He killed Derek" Crystal turned at the mention of his name.

"Derek isn't dead" she replied as Scott and Stiles both looked to her. She knew that he was her brother now, of course she wouldn't want for him to be dead but they'd all seen what the Alpha had done.

"Crys" Stiles said and moved around the desk towards her. "I know you want to believe that but blood spurted out of his mouth, ok? That doesn't exactly qualify as a minor injury. He's dead, and we're next" Crystal opened her mouth to disagree but closed it and looked back out the window.

"What do we do?" Scott asked.

"We get to my jeep; we get out of here. Oh and seriously think about quitting your job, ok?" he asked. Scott nodded and moved to the windows.

"They don't open, the school's climate controlled" Stiles explained.

"Then we break it" Scott said as Crystal nodded and grabbed a chair but Stiles put his hands up to stop her from throwing it through the window.

"Which will make a lot of noise" he said as she sighed.

"Then what?" she asked replacing the chair and crossing her arms.

"We run really, really fast" Scott proposed before glancing back out towards the empty car park. That's when he noticed the hood on Stiles' jeep.

"Stiles, what's wrong with the hood of your jeep?" he asked and soon Stiles and Crystal had joined him at the window, peering out into the night.

"What do you mean? Nothing's wrong" Stiles said, worry in his voice for his baby.

"It's bent" Scott announced.

"What, like dented?" Stiles asked and craned his neck to get a look at his jeep.

"No. I mean bent" Scott repeated as the three of them were so focused on the jeep they didn't see the small object flying towards the window. The window above them smashed, sending them to the floor as they gasped.

"What the hell was that?" Crystal asked as they looked to the object which was a good distance from them.

"That's my battery" Stiles declared, hatred as he went to stand but Scott pulled him roughly back down.

"Don't" he whispered.

"We have to move" Stiles informed him.

"He could be right outside" Scott stuttered, why was he whispering?

"He is right outside" Stiles snapped back.

"I'm not staying here waiting for him to come and kill us" Crystal interjected their hushed conversation before pushing herself up straight. She swatted Scott's hands away he tried to pull her back down.

"Stop being a baby. He's knows we're in here" she snapped, not bothering to whisper as she looked out the window once more.

"Is he out there?" Scott asked. She looked down to the two boys crouched on the floor and rolled her eyes.

"Yes Scott, he's right outside. Oh look, he's waving to me" she joked. Stiles and Scott both straightened up and joined her. The Alpha wasn't out there or if he was, he was doing a fantastic job at hiding.

"Move now?" Stiles asked as Scott nodded.

"Move now" he agreed as they both turned and ran out the room.

"Move what?" Crystal asked but noticed she was alone as she groaned. "Idiots" she growled before running after them.

"Where do we go?" Crystal asked when she caught up to them.

"This way" Scott said but Stiles grabbed his arm.

"No" he wheezed out of breath.

"What?" Scott asked. Crystal heard a noise coming from outside, something pounding against the building being followed by the breaking of glass.

"Somewhere without windows" Stiles suggested.

"Every single room in this building has windows" Scott replied.

"Or somewhere with less windows" Stiles offered.

"We need to go now, he's inside" Crystal said as they looked to her before Scott listened out, his eyes going wide. "The locker room" he ordered.

"Let's go" Crystal said and shoved at the both of them to get a move on.

Entering the locker room Crystal was greeted with the stench of BO as she gagged at the rotten scent.

"Call your dad" Scott said to Stiles.

"And tell him what?" Stiles asked.

"I don't know anything. Gas leak, a fire, whatever. If that thing sees the parking lot filled with cop cars, it'll take off". Crystal lent against the lockers and rubbed her forehead. It was all becoming too much. She needed time to process everything and now here they were running for their lives from the Alpha. And once again she found herself zoning out, Scott's and Stiles arguing in front of her turned into a buzzing noise.

"What about Derek's car?" she asked as Stiles stopped mid-sentence and looked to her.

"His car?" Scott asked.

"Well we can't use Stiles' jeep, but Derek's car looked fine" she suggested.

"That could work. We go outside, we get the keys off his body" Crystal hated to think that Derek could be lying injured or worse dead out there on his own. She hated feeling this way, she'd just only found out he was her older brother and now she felt an obligation to care for him, she hated it. "then we take his car" Stiles finished with a satisfied smile, the plan sounded like it could work.

"And him" Scott pointed out. Crystal nodded to them both, no way were they just going to leave Derek behind.

"Right let's go, I can't stand another second in this room. The smell is making me want to move towards in the direction of the Alpha" she said. They moved towards the door but Scott stopped them.

"What?" Stiles asked.

"I think I heard something" he said and Crystal listened, there was movement outside the door.

"Like what?" Stiles asked but Crystal put her hand over Stiles' mouth.

"Shhhh" she said as they continued to listen. The sound was coming closer. They all slowly started to back up.

"Hide" Scott muttered to them as Stiles walked quickly over to one of the lockers and opened it, making a lot more noises than was needed.

"Stiles" Scott snapped as he glanced back to the door. He too opened a locker and closed it behind him as Crystal was left out in the open.

"Guys" she hissed but before she could move she felt someone grab her and pull her back. Stiles pulled the locker closed as they were enclosed in darkness; the only sound was their heavy breathing. Crystal had her back to him as she tried to maintain her breathing.

"What now?" Stiles asked as the door to the locker room opened. Crystal pressed herself further into Stiles' chest. She found herself uncontrollably shaking, reaching down she found his hand and gave it a small squeeze. Was this it? Was this how they would die? Enclosed inside a narrow locker together. Shuffling footsteps were right outside the locker as Crystal held her breath, waiting for the Alpha to attack but then someone else letting out a yelp of surprise. Crystal pushed against the locker as the door opened and Stiles and her stumbled out to see a janitor between Scott and them.

"Quiet" Stiles said as he looked to them. The shock on his face soon turned into rage.

"Quiet my ass, what the hell are you trying to do, kill me? All of you get out" he said as he tried to usher them out of the room.

"Will you just listen for half a second, ok?" Stiles tried to calm the janitor down but he wasn't interested in anything they had to say.

"Not ok. Get the hell out of here right, now!" he shouted and Crystal cringed. The Alpha would know exactly where they were now. He pushed them out of the locker room and into the hallway.

"Please, you have to be quiet" Crystal said but this only made the janitor increase his volume.

"Just shut up and go!" his voice radiated off the walls. One second he was glaring at them and the next he was being ripped back into the room, the door closing and his body being bashed up against the glass. Blood dripped down the glass as the janitor was continuously thrown against the glass.

"No!" Crystal screamed and went to open the door but Stiles pulled her back, it was suicide.

"Go. Go!" he shouted to them as they turned and legged it down the hallway, the sounds of the janitor's screams fading behind them. "This way" Stiles said as they rounded the corner. In front of them were double doors leading to the outside, they could make a run for it at least. Scott and Stiles threw themselves against the door but were knocked back. The doors were jammed, they opened partly but not enough for anyone to fit through, even Crystal couldn't squeeze her little form through.

"It's a dumpster" Scott informed them before they turned back to look down the hallway.

"He's blocked us in" Crystal gasped.

"I'm not dying here, I'm not dying at school" Stiles was terrified, they all were.

"We're not going to die" Scott replied as they made their way up another hallway.

"What does it want?" Stiles asked as Crystal walked in front of them.

"Me. Derek says it's stronger with a pack" Scott explained.

"Oh, great. A psychotic werewolf who's into team work. That's... that's beautiful" he panted. Crystal noticed an 'exit sign' above a door at the end of the hallway. It would lead to the outside as she smiled.

"Come on" she said and picked up her pace but that's when she felt it. Turning her head, she came to a stop near the door and looked out the window. There on the other side of the school roof, crouched was the Alpha. A large killing machine as the red eyes looked straight back at them. It was moving towards them as Scott and Stiles turned to run back the other way.

"Crys!" Stiles shouted but there wasn't anything she could do. She wouldn't be able to make it in time as she looked to them.

"I'll catch up with you!" she screamed just as the window smashed and in came the Alpha, landing in front of her as she gasped and pressed herself against the wall. Crystal could see Scott having to drag Stiles down the hall. Turning her head, she had to act quick to get away, the Alpha looked like he hadn't noticed her yet. Her hands felt for the handle to the exit door but when she went to open it she found it locker. Really, an emergency exit door was locked. This school sucked. The only other way out was down another hallway as she twisted and sprinted down it, using all her speed to escape the Alpha who now had two choices, the boys or her.

After running around for a few minutes she came to the conclusion that she was safe for now but that meant that Scott and Stiles were in trouble. Gasping she clutched her side and trying to catch her breath. Leaning against the wall she listened as she heard shouting coming from the other end of the school.

"Please" she whispered and sighed. "Please don't hurt them". Her body was stiff but she knew she couldn't stop for long, she had to find a way to draw the Alpha away from her friends. Looking around she searched for anything which would draw its attention to her location and that's when her eyes landed on the music room. A smile grew on her face as she found herself with a plan, a crazy one at that but it would work for sure. Finding the door locker, she groaned.

"What is it with this school" she stepped back before bringing her foot up and kicking at the door. It flew open after one kick as she smiled and walked inside. "What would work?" she asked as her eyes danced across the various instruments until they came to the drums. Grabbing a pair of drum sticks she began to hit the drums and cymbals as the noise echoed down the hallway. "Come on, come and get me" she whispered and continued to hit the drums. Dropping them to the floor she walked back into the hallway and waited, she could feel it. He was on his way.

A growl sounded behind her as she turned slowly and looked into those red eyes. "Right, I might not be as strong as you but I'm small and hard to catch" she said before tilting her head. Her eyes turned their golden colour, her claws appeared as did her sharp teeth. She crouched down ready for his attack. "Make your move, Cujo" she growled as the Alpha ran towards her.

There was one thing she did like about him, he was predictable. Before he could grab at her with his long sharp claws she pushed herself up and did a front flip over him, landing right behind him. Bring her foot up she gave him a harsh kick in the back, sending him down before backing up with a snarl. "Not so good are you, you should learn to not be such a bully" she said as the Alpha growled to her and turned once more.

He advanced towards her as she ducked his swinging arm. He was quick and if he did manage to hit her she knew it would be a strong blow but right now she was concentrating on keeping him busy. She hoped Scott and Stiles were finding a way out of the school, she didn't know how long she could hold him off.

Never had she been in a fight before, well not one where she was in her werewolf form with teeth and claws instead of fists and hair pulling. It was strange, the adrenaline she felt when she dodged his attacks, the joy it gave her to taunt him in to thinking she was an easy target. She was quick too and her small form helped her in many ways as she ducked once more. Her leg came up once more and gave the Alpha a kick to the chest, knocking him back slightly. It felt like she was kicking at a steal plate; it wasn't doing much.

Just when she was thinking of making a run for it she felt a vibrating sensation coming from her jacket pocket. The buzzing sound from her jacket distracted her from the Alpha and that's when she felt the sharp pain in her side as she gasped. Blood dripped onto the floor as she looked to the Alpha who was slowly backing up before her eyes drifted down to her side. Her blue top was ripped and she could see four deep claw marks on her side, blood seeping heavily down her the side of her jeans. She transformed back to her normal self and bit her lips, not wanting to give the Alpha the satisfaction of her screams.

The pain was like someone had place four hot pokers on her skin as she stepped back and let her back rest against the wall. The Alpha looked to her before he turned and ran off back round the corner. Why had he left her alive? She should of been dead and yet he'd let her live. Gasping the vibration from her phone stopped and she sighed, sliding down the wall. There was too much blood, she needed to find something to slow down the bleeding before she passed out.

Her other hand moved to her pocket as she pulled out her phone and looked to see it had been Stiles would be trying to call her. Hitting the re-dial button she placed it to her ear and winced from the pain in her side.

"Crys. Where are you?" Stiles asked as she smiled when she heard his voice.

"Looking for you, where are you?" she asked as she heard talking in the background. "Is that Lydia?" she asked hearing her strawberry blonde haired friend snapping at someone.

"Yeah, uh. Allison, her and Jackson turned up" he went to explain more but she cut him off. She didn't have time to talk after all.

"Where are you?" she asked.

"The chemistry lab" she nodded and let out a small gasp when she pulled on her side.

"Are you ok?" he asked as she sucked in a deep breath to try and not let her pain show through her voice.

"Yep, fine. I'm on my way" she said and hung up. Standing up she used the wall for support, a small puddle of her blood was left on the floor but she ignored it and moved down the hallway. She should have started healing by now but the pain in her side was growing. Her hand was slowing the bleeding down but she needed to find her friends before the Alpha did.
