hey guys so I meant to explain that the last chapter followed Stiles to change it up slightly while this one follows Aylee so that you could see both sides and how they both felt with what was happening. Also I know that this doesn't match what I've written in the best and I'm sorry but I kind of changed my mind in terms of Melinda's character and who saves her because I want to leave that first meeting till later so that will be explained in the next chapter. Thank you all your reviewing/following/favouriting or by sending me pms so please keep that up, I like hearing what you think good or bad .You can also see Aylee's outfits via the link on the bottom of the chapter since I'm aware of the link on my profile doesn't work like I wanted it to
chapter 21: sad song
Aylee had spent the night tied to a chair which she slept in after spending most of the night trying to loosen the ropes around her wrist and ankles before she gave up deciding that she was too weak to loosen them enough to escape and if even if she did escape then she had no idea where she was or how to get back to the others at the treehouse, so she was left to think over everything that had happened since she had traded herself in place of Stiles like being blind folded and thrown into the back of a car while she tried to memories every turn and twist so she could work out where she was going but still had no idea where that might be. Aylee hated the fact that she didn't know whether it was night or day which was weird since it was such a simple thing but at the same time very important, although Aylee realised that the small things like that seemed to distract her from thinking about Stiles and the others as she knew that her heart wouldn't be able to take that kind of heart ache. While Aylee slept in her chair she felt herself being rudely waken by someone shaking her as she opened her eyes to find Melinda staring back at her as she kneeled down in front of her causing her to be suddenly awake and pull away from her as much as she could without leaving her chair.
" here, I brought you some water and something eat… sorry all I could get was granola bars" Melinda said as she brought the bottle of water to her lips so she could take a slip then unwrapped a granola bar so that she could eat as she began to savour every bite
" why are you doing this to me?" Aylee said as she let her head roll again from exhaustion as she realised how weak she was as she began to fight to keep her eyes from closing and going back to sleep as she tried to keep telling herself that she needed to keep Melinda talking
" I told you I need you here so that I can lure your mother here then she can bring him back….she can do it" she said whispering more to herself than to Aylee as she thought back on what she had said about Bradley the night before
" by him do you mean Bradley? he was the physicist right?" she said thinking that if she kept her talking then she maybe be able to find an opening where she would be able to wiggle her out of this jam that she found herself in
" yeah, he was the one that taught me everything I know about the supernatural world… mostly werewolves though, you are the one thought I never expected" she said turning to her as she grabbed the chair next to her and placed in front of Aylee
" I always am, most people think that seers are either extinct or a myth which is mostly true since its just me… what happened to Bradley?" she said getting back to the main reason that they were both here since she knew that it would be the key to her leaving
" a few nights before our wedding day he took me out during a full moon to see a pack of werewolves shifting but we got too close and one of them spotted us… he slashed Bradley's throat" Melinda before hiding herself from Aylee as she began to cry
" oh god and thats why you hate werewolves….there's more, after the beta slashed his throat he turned to you and slashed your stomach. You lost your fiancee and the baby you didn't know about that night" she told her causing Melinda to look at her to see that her eyes were now glowing purple as she stood up and began to step back in shock
" how did you know that? I have never told anyone about what happened to our baby" she said as she watched as Aylee's eyes began to get duller and duller before returning to her natural blue eyes, although she began to slump further into her chair
" I saw it while you were talking I picked up on your memory and got a vision of that night… I'm too weak to fight it off like I normally do" she said in a small voice as she tried to lift her head as she realised that this was the reason for her hatred
" you saw it? now you know why I hated your kind and why I need to bring back Bradley so that I can have everything that your kind took from me" she said as she slowly came closer to Aylee and began to sit back down in her chair
" except that I'm not a werewolf and my kind is a population of one who hasn't done anything to you… also you can't bring him back" she said thinking that if she told the truth then maybe she would just let her go and admit all of this was crazy
" what do you mean I can't bring him back?" Melinda asked as her voice began to break again with emotion as the tears began to fall fast and furious as she realised how small and fragile Aylee looked in the chair making notice young she was
" it can't be done, bringing back the dead goes against the laws of nature and things like that come with a cost… one that my mom won't want to pay" she said knowing that it was the truth but that it was also something that she needed to know
" No! it has to work… Katrina would do anything for her daughter, what kind of mother wouldn't rescue her child from this kind of this thing?" she asked more to herself than Aylee as she began to pace the length of the storage container
" the kind of mother that faked her death after giving birth to said daughter, the kind that allows her to be moved from foster home to foster home, the kind that lets her eight daughter be admitted into a mental hospital when her powers began to show" she said trying to get it into her head that her mom wasn't the material kind of mother and wasn't coming to her rescue anytime soon
" maybe she just needs more time or some encouragement…" she said cryptically before placing her chair back against the wall then left the storage container leaving Aylee alone in the dark as she tried to work out her meaning
Aylee tried everything she could think of to get a vision of her mom or of the others and even tried to get a message to them but everything she did failed as she was too weak to use her powers since she was already drained and running on empty, soon after that she began to lose consciousness and pass out as she allowed herself to be taken by the darkness since all she had to do was rest and wait to be rescued or at least wait until an opportunity of escaping came. Suddenly she felt someone touching her forehead as they swept her hair out of her eyes and began her ear as her eyes began to flutter open, although to her they felt so heavy to her that it seemed like it took a huge effort to open them enough to see Stiles kneeling in front of her
" Ay..Ay, come on baby I need your open eyes for me?" he said pleading with her as his voice began to break a little as she began to lean more into her touch partly due to the fact that his touch felt like heaven to her and due to her being so tired
" Stiles?…how are you here?" she asked weakly as she slowly began to open her eyes enough to see those big brown eyes she loved so much making her wonder if this was some sick hallucination or a trick that her mind was playing on her
" Nakota, he gave me a potion that allow me to connect to you by using our apparently very strong bond… how are you doing?" he asked as he took a quick glance all over her as he took in her look and to see if she was injured or hurt in any way
" I'm okay, she's hasn't hurt me that much except for tightening the ropes around my wrists and ankles" she said trying to give a smile to reassure him that she was ok but it came out weaker and sadder than she wanted since she didn't want to waste their time together
" thats good…do you know why she wants you so much?" he asked causing memories to come back to her as she remembered talking to Melinda about her reasoning as she realised the seriousness of the situation and very glory detail
" yeah I think so, she using me as bait for Katrina Geogieva… she wants to force her in bringing back her dead fiancee" she said knowing that you didn't need to be a seer to know that this was going to end badly when she doesn't get what she wants
" can she do it? I mean is your mom powerful enough to actually bring back the dead?" he asked since they both knew that both her parents were from very powerful old supernatural families but they had never really stopped to consider how powerful
" no, no one can because it goes against nature and there is no way to balance that out….plus she won't come for me" she said looking away from him since she knew that there was no guarantee that her mom would save her or would care
" she might not come for you but you can sure as hell bet that I am ok?…can you hang in for me until I get here for real?" he asked as she began to wonder how long that would be or even if he would be able to get there before Melinda's 'encouragement'
" since its you asking then sure, I wouldn't be here if I didn't think that you would do everything you can to find me" she said thinking about how that had always silently been their motto as they had spent most of their relationship rescuing each other
" make me a promise?…. no matter what she does to you, you can't give into her ok? just think about something else like a happy memory and focus all your energy on that" he said as she nodded, she knew what he was doing in trying to keep her from giving in to whatever treatment Melinda had planned for her
" like curling up to you in bed while watching some stupid sitcom" she said trying not to show him how much she missed him already as she felt a tear begin to fall down her cheek as Stiles caught it with his thumb and wiped it away
" exactly….hey lets not do the thing, this isn't goodbye so we can say it when we see each other again because we will see each other again" he said placing her hair behind her ear which she was thankful for since she wasn't able to due her restraints
" I'm going hold you to that" She said gently as she began lean forward as Stiles realised what she was doing as he captured her lips with his to convey everything that they felt as well as seeking comfort in each others lips while the kiss became a little desperate
" I need to go but I'm coming back for you soon ok" he said as he began to fade away slowly in front of her as she wished so desperately that he could stay longer or would give her some way to fight the darkness that seemed to surround her
" Stiles! My locket is the key to find me! It has a tracker on it" she said beginning to shout before he eventually disappeared as she hoped that he had been able to hear her message in time as she was left all alone in the metal storage shipping container
By the time that Melinda came back the next time Aylee had a fire in her eyes that wasn't there before since she had promise to uphold and she made it a point of hers to always keep the promises she made as the people close to her like her dad had a habit of making promises then breaking them as if they were nothing but empty words. She noticed that Melinda had her little fire in her eyes as well as a needle in her hand filled a mysterious pink coloured liquid and there was no doubt in her head that whatever was in that little syringe was the 'encouragement that she had been talking about before she had left abruptly, knowing Melinda's background and how she liked to kill the supernatural she had a clear idea what was in that syringe as well as what her intention to use it were. Aylee tried her best to do what Stiles had told her to do by thinking of something happy that would distract her from the pain Melinda was about to her but all she could think about was all the bodies and people that Melinda had killed used her biology knowledge as flashes of memories from her vision began to play on repeat in her head
" great you're back, I was starting to worry that you had forgotten about me" Aylee said in monotone voice that showed no emotion as she slipped into her old sarcastic self that allowed her to put up walls so that Melinda wouldn't know how scared she was
" did you miss me? I may have gotten a little carried away with my surprise" she said playing along with her little game as she placed the needle and the medical kit on the table that was placed next to the chair as she checked the time
" oh you didn't need to all that trouble for little old me, if you really wanted do something nice for me you could always oh I don't know let me go" she said with a smile that was almost a smirk as she tried to hide how much she feared the pink liquid
" not going to happen sorry…where is she? She should be here by now, I mean wouldn't you if your daughter was being held for ransom…kinda" Melinda said talking more to herself again as she began to wonder what was taking Katrina so long to get there
" maybe because she doesn't care, maybe because she doesn't know and why would she? she has never been part of my life!" she said trying to get through to her that this whole thing was pointless and stupid since it was never going to work
" she knows… trust me she knows, she just needs to know how serious I am" she said eyeing up the syringe as she headed towards it before picking it up as she made sure that everything was ready for her big play
" no she doesn't, think about this ok? you are playing a game with a very powerful witch who if you're right knows that you're about to kill her daughter" she said trying to make her stop and think things through before she did anything that she couldn't take back
" yeah I know and thats why I am doing it, so I can trade you in for Bradley and then everything will be okay" she said like it was some kind of sick mantra to herself, although Aylee knew it was too naive to be believe or to convince anyone but her
" and if that doesn't work then you've just killed a member of a true alpha's pack as well as a member of the Hale family which means in short you will piss off a lot of people who will get very revengeful very fast" she said knowing that there was no way her death wouldn't come with some fall out especially with Stiles, Derek and Cora being involved
" well thats a risk I'll need to take to get what I want…. remember I'm the bad guy" she said as she got closer to her as she moved Aylee's very loose braid to one side to expose her neck as she stabbed her with the needle and released the liquid in her system
" right and tell me again, do the bad guys ever get their happy en-ending…" she said as she began to struggle to breath as she felt the holly and verbena mixture turned biological weapon spread through her body, she looked down to that her hands were beginning to light up
" I'm sorry but it looks like you wont either" she said as she watched as the mixture began to take hold of her as she fought herself from losing consciousness but ultimately lost that particular battle her head went limp and hung in defeat
As time went on the mixture began to take of her in all the wrong ways as it began to affect her visions making her doubt what was real and what wasn't as she began to see her own memories of times when Scott or Stiles or any of the others had rescue one of their own and some of the victims that had been able to save in the past, what made it worse was that every time that it would happen a small part of her would hope that it was happening for real and whoever it was that appeared in front of her would take her away from this very recently horrible part of her life. Once the vision began to slow down Aylee began to feel a burning feeling in her veins where the poison touched which to her was a clear sign that she wasn't going to last much longer as she prayed that they would come for her soon before it was too late to safe her. However soon she was rudely woken by the sound of the storage container being slammed shut as she forced her eyes to open to see Melinda's enraged faced as she began to take her vitals to track how her body was reacting to the weapon inside it as well as how much time she had left.
" Dammit! she should be here by now! I thought this would have worked" she said as she began to slammed her fist against the table as Aylee began to laugh gently but there was no humour or happiness behind it
" well I did try to tell you…that this wouldn't work…maybe you should have picked a…. better prisoner" she said struggling to complete her sentence as she realised how tired and breathless she was becoming due to everything her body was going through
" I did everything but send a flare up, I was told that she would know if something happened to you…did you hear that?" she said as the door opened to allow the person behind it to throw some water which soon turned to fire as they saw a figure
" hi I'm sorry to interrupt all of your evilness but I hear that you have certain teenage seer in there and thats not ok with me so…" said a female voice that hints of an accent to it as Aylee tried to think if she had ever heard the voice before as the woman behind it punched Melinda
" I don't know… who you are but this isn't the best…. rescue in the world and I'm so not in the mood…. to be someone else's prisoner" Aylee said getting a better look at the older blonde woman who looked both strong and gentle at the same time
"O, vie bedno momiche, tova, koeto e napravila za teb? (oh you poor girl, what has she done to you?)" the woman said in Bulgarian as Aylee realised that it couldn't be a coincide that the woman who came to her rescue spoke Bulgarian
" clearly you aren't Stiles since he's a dude and doesn't speak Bulgarian… you know Katrina Geogieva I'm guessing?" she said showing that she was the point of caring whether or not someone new was going to kill her since it felt that she was close
" I'm Rosa and yeah I'm friend of hers from her days in Bulgaria… she asked me to come and help you, she would have come herself but she wouldn't have made it in time" Rosa said as she began to undo her ropes around her wrists and ankles
" how did…sh-she know I-I wa…" Aylee said struggling to speak as she began to lose the big battle between her life and the poison, she also began to notice that the fire was beginning to spread around them as Rosa helped her to her feet
" shh, focus on walking for now if you can and we can talk afterwards" she said to her as she bore most of her weight as Aylee began to move her feet as they headed outside away from the smoke and fire as Aylee realised that Melinda was still inside
" tell m-my mom that…" she said as she began to collapse onto the ground as the burning feeling began to spread around her body as she felt herself beginning to burn up a fever, although the cool breeze of the brazil night brought some relief to her
" shhhhh just hold on ok? I'm going to help you" Rosa said as she held her hands above Aylee's body and began to chant in latin as a warm golden glow began to wash itself over her body as she began to feel herself getting slowly
" oh my god! Aylee…Aylee!" Braeden shouted from a distance as Aylee turned to see where she was before turning back to see that Rosa was gone with no trace or sign which way she had went as she heard frantic footsteps getting closer
" I'm over here, Braeden!" she said as she began to get up as Braeden came over and began to support her weight as she lead her over to where her car was parked, Aylee realised that it was just the symptoms from the poison that Rosa had healed
As Braeden drove she managed to convince Aylee to get changed into something that didn't smell of smoke and that she had been wearing for days since they both knew that the others would worry more about her if they saw her dressed as she was right now. Aylee was now wearing a pair of black legging, dark red tank top underneath a grey jumper and a pair of black combat boots. Her hair was also down in a mass of dark brown waves and curls, she was glad when she found makeup wipes in the bottom of the bag that Braeden had gave her as she began to wipe of the last traces of makeup as she was aware that she had big panda eyes from crying so much. Once she was changed she began to dip in and out of consciousness as Braden drove as she began to wonder what had happened to her as she recalled some of the texts that Derek had sent her about the condition she may be in from the way Stiles was reacting from the pain coming through their bond but apart from the lack of sleep and not being fed properly she seemed fine.
" hey Ay, I'm going to right back ok? I'm just going to get some help" she said as she quickly made sure that Aylee was secured before running up the stairs to the treehouse to get help from the big strong supernatural werewolves waiting for them
" oh god, is she okay? I mean I don't see any bruises or anything on her" Derek said as he began to give her the once over before gently picking her up bridal style as Scott made sure everything was clear out of his way up the step to the treehouse
" I think so, I mean she doesn't have any marks that I seen before she got changed but you said according to Stiles she was in a lot of pain" she said not completely sure that she had answered his question properly as they stated to head upstairs
"so what happened? You both stink of smoke, her more than you" Scott asked nodding his toward Aylee who was gently being placed on the couch by Derek as Stiles went into their room to grab her advanced first aid kit to see if there was anything to help her
" I don't know, when I got there the shipping container was going up in flames and Aylee was laying across the road outside of it " Braeden said happily accepting the bottle of water that Derek was offering her as she took her leather jacket off
" wait, so someone saved her before you got there? who would do that?" Derek asked wondering who else would know that Aylee had been taken by Melinda or that she had tracker on her necklace to them locate her
" guys, Ay is starting to wake up…hey babe, take it easy ok? you may have inhaled some smoke and who know what Melinda did too…what?" Stiles said as he kneeled down in front as he noticed that she was trying to sit up and speak back to them
" it was my mom, Ka-Katrina Geogi-Geogieva…" she said struggling to get her words out before a couching fit started causing her to sit up as Stiles began to rub her back and waited until she was finished before handing her a bottle of water of her own
" what was your mom? Aylee, you've been in and out consciousness since I found you" Braeden said confused as she looked at the others as they all began to think about what Aylee had just as they tried to work out whether or not she was to be believed
" it could have been a hallucination from whatever Melinda injected her with, she has a needle mark on her neck or it could be from the lack of sleep" Cora said thinking about all the ways and reasons that could be explain her random outburst
" it wasn't from that, it was my mom… I saw her when she was untying me from the chair and she spoke to me in Bulgarian…it was her" Aylee said as the tears began to fall down her cheek that was already marked biter trails as Stiles held her close to him
