The next time I woke up, I was pissed. Also I was in pain, so that wasn't a good combination. Hissing as I felt my wrists burning intensely I looked at the rope they had used and sniffed it, finding they'd laced it with wolfsbane poison to weaken and burn. I could already see the angry welts and blisters underneath the rope and it was not pretty to look at. "Sophie? You okay? What happened?"

"Those dumbass jerks knocked me off my bike." I breathed, exhaling slowly as I pushed myself up, however when I looked up, I saw that Boyd wasn't on his own. There was a girl hiding behind the pillar, refusing to look at me. "Hey, who's that?"

"This is Cora. She got locked in here with me a while ago." The moment Boyd said the girl's name I was looking up in alarm and quickly dragging myself forwards, pulling myself along the floor before finally I began to see the girl's face and features, her smell penetrating my nose as it was similar to someone else I knew. "Wait, you know her?"

"Cora?" I questioned, finally sitting myself next to her where she refused to look at me still. "Cora Hale?"

"Get away from me." She snapped quickly, stubbornly moving to sit on the other side of the pillar so that her back was facing me. Well that definitely clears that question up, Cora Hale was alive and she was sitting right here hating my guts.

"Well, you're definitely Cora alright." I sighed, touching my head however my hand pulled back to reveal blood everywhere. "What's with this place? Have you guys been here all this time? We've been going crazy trying to find you Boyd."

"I'm sorry. Is everyone okay? Erica?" Nodding my head I struggled to my feet, using the bars for support as I looked around. We were in a vault and there was a logo on the floor which I recognised. Beacon Hills' first national bank. It closed down after three months because some geniuses managed to rob it. Sniffing the walls I frowned, getting a trace of something. "What is it?"

"The walls are made from Hecatolite. It's actually quite rare and now I understand why we're here specifically, quite ingenious in fact." I mused, taking deep breaths as I turned around and began to explain everything to Boyd and Cora, though Cora probably wasn't listening to me. "Hecatolite is a mineral that scatters the moonlight and these walls are full of it, that's why you guys haven't been able to shift in three months, right? Well since it scatters the moonlight it's supressed your abilities to shift and in my case, ability to heal."

"Three months? Feels like more." Boyd said weakly and I sympathised deeply, however I was a little more distracted with the fact that I was in a room with two werewolves who hadn't felt the full moon in three months. "Wait, so does that mean something? What are they planning?"

"Well considering I'm locked in here with you. I'm guessing I'm your dinner and when Scott and Derek come for you, which they will, they'll be dessert." With that I balled a fist and tried to start punching through the walls, searching for a way out before the full moon came. "How long have I been out? How long Boyd?"

"Um, a few hours?"

"Six. You've been out for six hours." Cora told me specifically, making me sigh in relief. Okay so the full moon was today, but if I could get Cora and Boyd out of here and locked up somewhere else to keep three months of bloodthirsty rage from being unleashed upon everyone in Beacon Hills, that would be a much better outcome than the less successful possibility that ended up with me and everyone else dead. "And it's no use, we tried that."

"Well sorry for being optimistic." I snapped back at her, walking over to the vault and tried to pry it open but had no luck there either. I punched it in anger, roaring with a howl but my voice chocked out, unable to sustain it as I began to lose energy. The door opened from the other side and Kali entered leading Deucalion.

"I see that you're awake. Well, I could hear you at least." He mused as I stepped back, lowering my stance slightly as I prepared to rush at them. "I wouldn't do that if I were you. Any hasty movements and your dear friend's little sister will be the first to have her neck snapped." Deucalion warned and I heard a squeak, looking to see Kali had moved past me in a blur and grabbed Cora's neck.

"Remove your putrid nails and fingers from her throat and I won't remove your tongue and toes." I said coldly, shifting my stance to face Kali despite the fact that I could barely see straight, blinking to try and remained focus even as another rush of blood seeped out from the head injury I had.

"Tough talk for a girl who can't even stand upright." Kali mused and I snarled, eyes flashing red and I felt the surge of power correlate with my rage as Cora stared at me in shock, not expecting me to be an Alpha.

"Sophie don't, it never works." Boyd whispered and I considered for a moment before inclining my head, relaxing my stance and Kali slowly let Cora go. The moment her hand was removed I powered forwards, ramming her into the bars and with a vicious snarl I grabbed her head as she groaned, ripping her head forwards with a cluster of hair before I smashed it against the bars, using all the force I could muster until she punched me in the gut and tossed me back, though somehow I managed to land on my feet.

"You didn't move away from her fast enough." I offered sarcastically before I dropped to my knee, blood gushing from my mouth and spilled onto the floor.

"Oh dear, now that doesn't look good. Kali, perhaps no more injuries. We wouldn't want her to die before the show, would we? Secure her. Make sure that she remains unconscious." Deucalion ordered and Kali instantly freed my hands from the rope and cuffed me to the bars, making me jerk slightly as I tried to bite her but she moved back in time, avoiding my fangs as I snarled threateningly. Pulling something out from her pocket she removed the safety top to then stab a needle into my flesh, seething in rage however as the sedative began to work against my will, she smirked.

"You're a pitiful excuse for an Alpha. Guess Deucalion was wrong about you after all." She murmured before leaving me to drift, Boyd calling out my name and Cora moved a little closer as I dropped, going completely lax as I was forced back into unconsciousness. I wanted to fight it, wanted to help protect them however it would take time for me to beat this, I needed just a little more time. However with the full moon coming, time was quickly running out.
