'Jessica! Jess, wake up! You have to wake up please!' Jessica jolted awake, narrowly avoiding head butting the person shaking her awake.
'What the hell?!' Jessica gasped, looking around wildly only to see Lydia kneeling above her.
'Oh thank god' Lydia breathed out before leaping forward and crushing Jessica in a hug. Jess looked around wildly to see she was no longer chained to the wall but she was still down the dark narrow alleyway.
How...what happened?' she breathed out in confusion, the last thing she remembered was watching the nogitsune walk away, claiming it was his move, she had no idea how she freed.
'I was hoping you'd tell me. Jess what the hell happened to you?' Lydia asked her hands finding hers and Jess looked down seeing, the scars around her wrists were still there along with cuts and bruises down her arms and legs.
'It's a long story' Jessica sighed before realisation hit, Lydia was here. Why was Lydia here? 'How did you get here?' She questioned the red head quickly.
'It happened really fast' Lydia began to tell Jessica exactly what had been happening while she had been chaine duo by a crazy demon is fox.
'So there's two stiles now, one good and ether bad?' Jessica questioned in disbelief but Lydia nodded.
'Yeah, I know it's crazy but quiet frankly all of our lives are crazy these days. Now where the hell are we?' Lydia demanded.
'I have no idea, I was chained to a wall I didn't exactly have time to go sight seeing' she spat out sarcastically,mrubbing at her wrists. The wolfsbane was still in her system if the traces of black blood were anything to go by meaning, her wounds weren't going to be healing themselves anytime soon.
'Alright, come on' Lydia said and began hauling Jessica to her feet before she stopped suddenly her head twitching to the side.
'Lydia? Lyds what's wrong?' Jessica asked concerned, leaning against the wall behind her. Lydia didn't answer but her head kept on turning from side to side 'what do you hear?' She wondered, recognising the movements.
'Screaming' Lydia muttered 'They're all screaming'
'Okay, we're going like now' Jessica said but another voice spoke up, when that caused the hair on the back of her neck to stand on end.
'Can you hear them?' She turned around. Just as Lydia did seeing a figure walking towards them, Jessica guessed it was Dark Stiles 'Louder than usual, isn't it? Well, that's because a lot of bad things happened down here'
'Lydia, lets go' Jessica said and begun pulling her friend down the hallway.
'What are the voices telling you? Are they saying that Stiles is dying? He is, you know. He's dying'
Lydia turned back but Jessica pulled her forward 'Lydia don't listen to him, he's trying to get into your head' she told her.
'You would know all about that wouldn't you Jessica?' He spoke and she tensed, her wounds flaring up. Lusaka was the one to pull Jesscia around the corner.m
'Look what do you need me for? You think I can tell you something?' Lydia yelled back at him.
Both girls banged into a steel bar door, trapped hearing him laugh darkly from behind them, listening to it echo.
'Oh, I know you can"
'I'm not telling you anything!' Lydia refused
'You won't have to. You'll be screaming' he said.
'Lydia don't!' Jessica's warning was droned out as Lydia began screaming. She clamped her hands over her ears trying to drone out the noise.
When Lydia stopped, Jessica felt a cold hand on her shoulder. 'Your turn' he grinned down at her.
'Not happening!' Jessica growled an she swiped at him except due to the wolfsbane her strength was gone and he easily grasped ho,d of her wrist, hand curling over the burn marks.
Dark Stiles tutted disapprovingly as he twisted her wrist, breaking it. Jessica let out a scream of her own as she fell to her knees. 'What are they doing Jessica?' He taunted 'tell me!'
His yell triggered Jessica's ability and her eyes shine gold. Her vision trailed through all of beacon hills zooming in on Aiden and Ethan surprisingly. The twins were bolting though the woods, trying to pick up a scent from the looks of it.
They came to a stand still 'Anything?' Ethan questioned but Aiden shook his head.
'No scent. No tracks. Nothing' suddenly there was a loud clicking sound 'Did you hear that?'
'It sounds like...' Ethan began and Aiden finished 'A round being chambered'. Without another word the twins bolted as gun fire rained down on them.
However Aiden fell to the ground, Ethan following another couple of steps each with bullet holes in their chests. Ethan looked down at his hand seeing black blood 'Wolfsbane' he panted before looking back at his fallen twin 'Aiden' he called and tried to go to him but the bullets continued to fire.
'Stop!' Jessica yelled, her sight stopping as she glared into the eyes of the Nogitsune 'I'm not your puppet!'.
Dark stiles shook his head, a frown appearing on his face 'See I enjoyed our little game of cat and mouse before but now, now I'm just angry' he glared before breaking another bone, in her arm causing her to scream and her ability triggered itself again.
This time she saw Isaac breaking a chain off a steel gate, Allison beside him. 'That's it. That's Lydia's car' Allison said as they walked inside towards the blue car in the parking lot.
'The scent's strong of emotion' Isaac muttered as he moved towards it.
'Fear?' Allison guessed but Isaac shook his head.
'Anger'
'Sounds like Lydia. Let's see what else we can find' she instructed and they began looking around the car. Isaac checking underneath it when Allison spoke up again 'Ah, just... Just out of curiosity, do you remember the other night?'
'You mean the night before last night?' Isaac guessed.
'That night before you weren't you' Allison said
Isaac stood up 'Yeah. I remember'. Allison opened up the car door and climbed inside, Isaac following her lead.
'So that night, were you you, or were you not you?' Allison stammered
'You mean, the night when we were us?' Allison nodded.
'Yeah. I just wanna know if... If it was actually you with me.'
Isaac frowned in confusion 'Did you want it to be someone else?'
'No. No' Allison shakes her head before chuckling 'No, of course not'.
'Good. Because it was me' Allison nodded 'And I do remember it. I really remember it' they both smiled.
Allison frowned suddenly looking at the window and she breathed against it. Written in Lydia's handwriting on the window was "Don't Find Me".
Jessica jerked backwards falling out of dark Stiles's grip, breathing heavily. 'No more, just stop it!' She yelled angry, glaring up at him.
'Nope, I just need one more try' Jessica tried to pull back, she was running on fumes, fumes that were exhausting themselves the more she used her ability, add the wolfsbane in her system and her injuries she was bringing on the point of collapse. He didn't seem to care though and glared down at her ,it's simple, trigger it yourself or I will' he threatened and went to break another wrist but Jessica shook her head.
The pain was already too much, she couldn't stand it anymore. At least when her werewolf powers were actually working it didn't hurt so much because the bones, the cuts, the burns would already have begun healing if not already healed. To add another broken bone, Jessica was afraid that she would collapse and she refused to leav Lydia alone with this psychopath, especially when her friend was lost in a trance from her scream earlier. Only her head tilted every now and again like she was listening to something.
'I'll do it, I'll do it' Jessica swore and he waited impatiently until her eyes shone gold once again.
This time she was in her own living room looking down at stiles, human stiles who was fast asleep on the couch. Until he gasped awake, he began stumbling off the couch and away from the living room. Scott ran inside, stabilising his best friend 'Hey!m Scott yelled and stiles eyes snapped to him as the dream wore away, 'You okay?'
'What happened? How long was I out?' Stiles questioned.
'Just a couple of hours. You should sit down' Scott instructed concerned.
'Where's my Dad?'
'He's at Eichen House, questioning everyone. Looking for Meredith. I promised him I wouldn't let you out of my sight' Scott explained
'Okay, what about the others?'
'Allison, Isaac, the Twins, they're all looking for Lydia and Jessica' Scott explained and stiles nodded slowly.
'It's starting to feel like we're waiting for a ransom call' stiles muttered, shaking his head.
'We'll find them' Scott swore before watching as stiles shivered, throwing on his coat 'You all right?'
'Yeah. I don't know why, I just can't seem to get warm' stiles stuttered out.
'Maybe you should sit down. Take it easy' Scott said but when he touched Stiles's hand he winced as black veins appeared on his hand 'You're in pain' he frowned,.
'It's not that bad. Just more like a dull ache' stiles assured.
'Where?'
'Sort of everywhere' he sighed and Scott reached out to touch his arm
'Dude, you're freezing' he exclaimed and stiles sat back down on the couch, Scott taking a seat on the coffee table 'Tell me the truth. How much does it really hurt?'
Stiles shivered before looking uk at Scott. Before any words could be exchanged, Scott,s phone vibrated in his pocket 'It's Kira' stiles gestured for him to pick it up 'Hey, what's up?'
'She's here. In Coach's class. And you need to get here now too. Like, right now' Kira spoke over the phone.
Jessica breathed heavily as her eyes returned to normal, slumping down against the wall exhausted. Her hands were shakily wildly, no matter how much steric to stop them. There was a sharp pain in her head, a headache from overeating herself. She had never used her ability for as long and as many times as she just did.
Lydia had finally left the trance she had been in since she screamed and moved forward to help Jessica to her feet and began pulling her down and away from the nogitsune. 'Stay away from us!' Lydia yelled at him, holding the weak and frail looking Jessica close.
Dark Stiles rolled his eyes in annoyance as the girls stumbled away from him. 'They'll find us' Lydia assured Jessica as they moved down the stairs, the red head supporting the brunette 'they're going to find us' she whispered before they reached another steel door.
They both pushed at it, rattling the bars trying to get it top open, anything to get away from him.
'You think so?' Dark stiles questioned as he took a seat at the top of the stairs, both girls paid him no mind trying to push through the door 'I myself, was kind of wondering what they're doing right now. What useless lead they're chasing'
Jessica eyes shone unconsciously as he spoke, seeing stiles and Scott stumbling through the school doors
'I wonder if maybe some of them have bigger problemsto deal with right now' he said and her sight switched to Ethan walking in the woods, Derek supporting Aiden right behind him before it flashed away 'Are they really spending every minute looking for the two of you.'
She saw Allison and argent standing in the garage 'Or... Are they waiting for nightfall? Focused on some hopelessgesture to pass the time'.
'Jessica' Lydia's mutter Brough her back out of it and she breathed heavily leaning yo against the steel doors, for once she had no control over anything anymore. Her ability was flaring up, possibly due to his forceful involvement and due to the wolfsbane. She hated the feeling of being out of control more then she hated feeling weak.
'What do you want?' Lydia whispered, directing her question at him.
'More' was his only response as he stood up from the stairs.
'More what?' Jessica asked, both of the girls facing him.
'The Trickster stories are all about food. The Coyote, the Raven, the Fox. They're all hungry' he explained, walking down the stairs slowly 'I'm the same. I just crave something a little different' both girls clung to each like a lifeline as he came closer 'I eat what you feel' He came right up close them and they hold onto each other tighter, unable to stop the dual whimpers that escaped them 'And I am insatiable'
Dark stiles had pulled away but the girls still clung to each other. Jessica was eager to know what was happening with their friends, wanting to know if they were closer to finding them cause she couldn't take any of this anymore.
The only good thing was that the wolfsbane had dissolved out of her system and her wounds had begun to heal. She watched dully entranced as the cuts on her arms slowly disappeared with the ones on her legs. How her bones began mending all on their own and finally how were burnt wrists just seemed to fade away.
It was a massive relief when she felt her wolf returning, stronger, fuelling her with power and it was enough to know that if it came down to it she could protect Lydia, just long enough for her friend to get away.
Though she didn't act.
They were too tightly cornered and a fight was not ideal when her mental state was exhausted. Her ability had taken a lot out of her along with the mental torture the nogitsune had inflicted. Torture was one thing but being tortured by the person you loved was worse.
She didn't know if she'd ever be able to look at stiles again without flinching but she knew she would. As soon as this was all over she would be able to relax and not flinch every time she heard the sound of his voice.
She had never been more grateful for Lydia at the moment. She was so glad that the red head was her as much as she hated Lydia being thrown into the situation the comfort that a friend was near was enough to keep Jessica from breaking.
Night had fallen if the shadowed darkness from through the steel door was anything to go by. 'You're nervous, aren't you?' Lydia whispered brining Jessica out of her thoughts. She looked back up dark stiles who was looking up himself. 'You know they're coming. You know they're going to kill you' Lydia taunted, gaining a sudden burst of confidence.
'Well, that's exactly why I'm keeping you so close' he muttered moving closer to Lydia until Jessica pushed him back, standing in front of Lydia protectively.
'You'll keep your distance if you know what's good for you' Jessica warned and he rolled his eyes but still moved away.
Yet after a couple of minutes he yanked the steel door open with surprising strength and pushed both girls inside before yanking it closed again. He gain end yo at the sky and Lydia smiled 'They're here. And I don't need to scream to know that they're going to kill you'
'Good. Because that's exactly why I brought you' he said and the girls frowned watching as he pulled out what looked like a black dagger from his pocket 'I needed to know when they'd be close enough. When my own death was closing in'.
There was a Le chittering and Jessica head snapped around to see the Oni appearing on the edges of the circluar room with a chittering sound. They pulled out their swords with a loud screech and Jessica pulled Lydia back against one of the wall as they closed in on dark Stiles.
'Cause only when they're close, can I do this...' He said and just before the Oni could reach him, he snapped the dagger in half, blue sparks flying everywhere and suddenly the Oni out away their swords.
'What?' The girls breathed in confusion before there was a loud flapping sound and the Oni and dark Stiles disappeared from the room.
Jessica and Lydia looked around wildly. Jessica was tempted try her ability but a familiar voice suddenly called out to them 'Jess? Lydia? Are you all right?' Stiles called and she turned to see Scott and stiles by the gate.
'No. No, no, no. Why are you here?' Lydia demanded as Scott pulled the door open with a screech.
Lydia, we're here for the two of you' stiles explained confused at her behaviour but Jessica knew. The sudden change, the last move the nogitsune made had changed the game. Now instead of his life on the line, it was one of theirs.
'You weren't supposed to be here. You didn't get my message?' Lydia whispered confused and terrified.
'Lydia, what's happening?' Scott whispered, his eyes darting form Lydia to Jessica.
'Who else is here?' Lydia whispered before shouting 'Who came with you?!Who else is here?' Her voice dropped back to a whisper.
'No time to explain, the others are fighting the Oni, we have to go now! Or someone is going to die!' Jessica yelled and the boys didn't question her as they all hurried back up the stairs.
Racing down the narrow hallway from before Scott and Jessica took the lead, their wolf speed kicking in as they ran. Neither of them noticed as Stiles and Lydia feel behind, Stiles collapsing against the cold wall.
The both came to a swift stop, seeing one of the Ono withdrawing his blade from Allison's body. Time seemed to slow down, the only thing any of them could hear was Lydia screaming 'Allison!'
Scott bolted forward, shocking the gate out of the way, rushing towards her just as she fell backwards. None of them noticed as the Oni disappeared into the shadows, each of them staring in horror as Scott cradled Allison in his arms.
Jessica moved further in, her heart clenching in her chest as tears welled in her eyes as she watched Scott and Allison together. 'Allison' Scott whispered out as he held her.
'Did you find them? Are they okay? Are Lydia and Jess safe?' Allison quickly questioned him through gasping, shaky breathes.
'They're okay' Scott assured, brushing some of hair back.
'Yeah' Allison nodded, her breathing heavy.
Scott out his hand over hers but frowned 'I can't. I can't take your pain'
'It's because it doesn't hurt' Allison whispered, her breathing evened out as she stared up at Scott.
'No' Scott muttered and Allison nodded slowly.
'It's okay'
'Allison' Scott's voice came out choked
'It's okay' but Scott shook his head, his lip trembling as a sob wracked his body, a tear running down his cheeks 'It's okay' Allison assured
'It's okay. It's perfect. I'm in the arms ... of my first love. The first person I ever loved. The person I'll always love' Allison promised, tears welling in the corner of her eyes as she stared up at scoot, feeling him hold her close. 'I ... I love you' she whispered out and wiped away his tears 'Scott. Scott McCall'
'Don't, please, don't. Allison don't, please' Scott begged, his voice thick with emotion as he stared down at his first love, his Allison. Not wanting to believe that she was slipping away from him and that with all his power and all his strength he couldn't do anything to stop it.
'You have to tell my dad' Allison suddenly spoke up clearly, a thought hitting 'And you have to tell my dad. Tell him...' He voice faded away into a stutter as blood stained her lips red. Her breaths came out short and quick before they came to a sharp stop.
'No!' Scott begged, holding her close and sobbing as her hand feel to the floor, her eyes closed.
Jessica clamped a hand over her mouth to stop the sob threw ting to wreck through her throat, tears running down her checks in a fast flood as she looked on, collapsing to the floor. The loss of one of her friends, her friend from the very begining despite everything that had happened between them, Allison was still one of her closet friends.
Her chest ached and she felt like screaming as she stared at the hunter's lifeless body, her brother pressing a long kiss to her forehead, sobs wracking him.
The sounds of footsteps had Jessica looking up through her tears and she saw Chris running forward, gun withdrawn before he came to a dead stop, seeing his daughter, the only family he had left, cradled lifelessly ins scott's arms. Jessica felt her heart wrench and break even further as she saw the devasted and heartbroken look on his face as he dropped his gun and had to stabilise himself on a gate.
Isaac had curled in on himself, tears running down his cheeks while Kira stood by her mom both with messy tears glinting in their eyes. Jessica stared at some of the members of her broken pack and sobbed even harder.
None of them would never be the same again.
