Chapter 11
"What did you do to him?!" I yelled at her. I was so infuriated at her. How could she have done this to him?
"So you finally decided to wake up, huh?" she told me as she flipped her hair out of her face. She must have been one of those young mothers because she really wasn't old and she had a nice figure. What am I saying?!
"What did you do to him?!" I yelled again with less of an intimidation. I guess it's because I have been in this situation many times within the past few days and I didn't like being the helpless one.
"Him?" she pointed to Derek, " Nothing yet." She told me like it was a joke. That relit my hatred.
"Tell me what you did to him! If you killed him I swear I'll-"
"You'll what? Because right now, you aren't exactly in a position where you have the upper hand. As-a-matter-of-fact, you don't look like you are even going to live," she told me as she got down to eye level with me, "It's a real shame. I was only gonna go after you since you seemed to be catching along, but then you just had to involve your friends." She told me. I felt like dirt, no even less then dirt, I was nothing. I frowned.
"Please… just… just take me. Let my friends go." I told her. I was close to tears. I didn't care anymore. We didn't win it was over. I was trying my best to do whatever that I still could.
"Well, that is a tempting offer, but it's too late for that. I tried to get you, but that night you never showed up home. Now your friends know so I'm going to have to kill them too." she told me.
"What is wrong with you? All this killing has turned you into some psycho. This doesn't bother you?" I asked her. I was just at a loss here. It was like she enjoyed doing it.
"Of course it bothers me! I can't help it though. I decided a long time ago to stop fighting it and just let it take control. Why do you think that I don't have a husband?" she told me and then winked like that was funny to her, "Well, I guess I better start slashing your throats before I get too tired and decide to put it off." She told us as she walked to Styles. I was about to scream when I remembered, I could scream.
"Wait!" I told her. She stood back from Styles and put her hands on her hips.
"What?" she asked plainly.
"Can you hear well?" I asked her.
"Yeah, why?" she asked.
"Because I wanted to know just how much this would hurt you." I told her with a smile and she just looked confused. I opened my mouth and let out my scream. I could see my sound waves pulsating through the air. She clutched her ears and fell to the floor. I held it for at least a good fifteen seconds. They had to hear me outside, especially because of the small like half window on the other side of the basement broke open. She got up to her feet gritting her teeth and she walked to me.
"What was that?!" she yelled at me, "You know what, that just earned you the number one spot to go first." She told me as her toes formed into three big black talons. She was raising her foot to my neck when through the small broken window on the other side of the room came Scott in full blown werewolf form. The woman turned around in disbelief. Isaac followed behind Scott as well, "Well, well, well, if it isn't the misfits." She told them.
"Give it up, you're outnumbered and we know that it's you who started all this." He growled at her.
"Scott, I know that already. This isn't the first time that I've done something like this. I know to have back-up." She explained.
"Oh really, well who's your back-up?" Isaac asked quite confidently.
"Who do you think is my back-up?" she asked.
"Jezebel! Wow, I really underestimated your back-up." I told her with sarcasm.
"Well yes Jezebel is one." She told us. I was dumb-founded. Jezebel was one? How many does she have?
"What do you mean by one, who else is there?" Scott asked not believing her.
"Well, who do you know that is persistent and has come back here?" she asked. Who the heck was she talking about? Scott was in awe and just stared at the ground thinking over who it could be in his mind, "While you think that over I'll just be taking this," she turned and grabbed Styles and Isaac jumped, "You come after me and I'll kill him," Isaac stood down, "Scott, if you want your friend to live then you and only you will meet me on the old abandoned bank roof tomorrow night at around eight. If you try anything, I'll kill him. If you let me go now and call off your friends and do as I told you then you could get your friend back. You must follow everything to a T and if you don't I won't hesitate to kill him." She explained. Scott nodded and with that she was gone. Allison stuck her head through the window.
"Scott, it'll be alright. We're going to get him back." She told Scott, but he didn't even turn to look at her. She got back out of the window and her and Lydia walked away.
"As much as I love being stuck here can someone untie us!" Derek yelled. Isaac came over and untied us. I rubbed my wrists because that rough rope does not feel good on your wrists at all.
"Scott, who was she talking about?" I asked him. He looked up at me. I never saw Scott so sad. His eyes were just cold. He just slowly shook his head.
"I really don't know. It could be anyone. It could be Peter-" Scott started.
"How could it be Peter?" Derek asked. I didn't even know who Peter was.
"Well, she said someone who is persistent and who has come back, Peter came back and that whole act was his persistence of him controlling Lydia. It could be Jennifer because she came back once and we never found her, she could have gotten back to the Nemeton and repowered herself like she did with Kali." Scott explained.
"Well who else could it be?" Isaac asked.
"Deucalion. He is back, we saw him. He already threatened to kill Lile and we know that he is getting a new pack. He already has that Davis guy." Scott told us. He was right. We stood there for a second. Scott walked away from us. He put his hand up to his head. I walked over to him and grabbed him by the shoulders.
"Scott, it's going to get better. We are going to get Styles back alright," I suddenly got all choked up, but I didn't stop to hold back my tears and Scott didn't either, "It's not your fault that this is happening okay. You of all people, it isn't your fault okay. You have to remember that. If anyone, it's my fault for not seeing that her mother was in on it too." Scott stopped me.
"No. Okay, it was no one's fault except for theirs. All I have to do now is just meet them tomorrow and this all ends." He told me. I looked at him confused.
"What do you mean you? We aren't going to plan anything? I know what they said, but we can't just completely submit." I told him. I looked at Derek and Isaac, they either didn't say or do anything. I put my arms down and pushed Scott away, "So you are just going to give up? Innocent people are going to be killed and I know you don't want that. I'm not just going to sit back and watch them be let loose! If you don't want to try then you can watch me because I won't stand for this." I told them as I turned to walk away, but I stopped when I heard Scott's voice. I didn't turn back to him though.
"Lile, don't do anything. Please, I can't lose anyone else." He told me.
"Well then we have an understanding. You don't want to lose anyone and neither do I. The only difference is that I want to do something about it." I told them and I walked upstairs and out. Lydia ran up to me.
"What happened? Did you get Derek and Styles?" she asked quickly as she walked with me.
"We got Derek, but she took Styles. They said that they'd give us Styles if Scott and only Scott goes to this meeting tomorrow." I told her.
"Well that's great!" she told me all excited. I stopped and turned to her shocked.
"In what way is that great? What do you think they are gonna do at this meeting? For all we know they could end up killing both Scott and Styles. In the basement Jezebel's mom said that she had to kill all of us because I told everyone. They want to sit back and see what happens, but I am doing something. I have to do something." I told her and I turned to walk. She grabbed my arm and spun me back around.
"What d you mean that you have to do something? You don't have to do anything." She told me.
"Yes I do, Lydia! You don't get it, okay, if it wasn't for me being all smart and figuring it out and telling you guys then she would have just killed me and you would be safe!" I told her. No matter what anybody said, it was my fault. I figured it out and I put my friends lives on the line… I put Lydia's life on the line.
"Lile… if you didn't figure it out then… only more people would die…This is anything, but your fault." She explained to me.
"You just don't get… it is my fault… if I didn't get it and tell you guys then you would live… now if I don't do something then… then you could die… and I can't let that happen." I told her. She wanted to say something, but nothing came out of her mouth. We stood there for a little while. I wanted to kiss her, but I knew it wouldn't be genuine. She loves Styles, so to make her happy I need to give her what she wants. I have to save Styles no matter what it takes.
