The first thing that Claudia noticed was the smell. Dust and paper, the smell of a building long since abandoned, but still familiar. She cracked one eye open and looked around. She was in some kind of cage, a vault maybe. Stiles were slumped in the other corner, still unconscious. Her heart lurched when she saw the bruises on his face and neck and the slight trickle of blood coming from his hair line. She slowly moved her hands. They hadn't bothered to tie her because of the vault door, and let's face it she pondered darkly, I can't exactly out run a werewolf can i?
She crawled cautiously along the floor, wincing as she moved from her battered ribs and shoulder. After what seemed like forever she reached Stiles, and positioned herself next to him so that she could try to wake him. After much prodding and name calling, Stiles groaned and shifted as if in bed, waking him up as the pain from his beating slowly began to seep into his consciousness.
"Stiles? Hey Stiles, it's me, Claudia?"
Stiles moved his hand slightly towards her.
"Mom?" he replied faintly.
Claudia gave a low chuckle. "Close but no cigar man. Claudia? The girl from school? Come on man, we need to get moving."
Stiles finally opened his eyes and looked straight at her. It took him a few seconds but recognition finally dawned into those cute brown eyes if his. Focus Claude, bigger fish here she chided herself.
Together the managed to stand or the closest they could get to having being tossed around by a pair of mini hulks. As they limped towards the door to see if they could work out the mechanism, Claudia felt something small shift along the inside of her boot. She paused and reached down to figure out what was moving. She could have wept when she realised that it was the mini Tesla that she had put down there for safekeeping during classes. It's recharging took a while, but it was enough to cause a nice little diversion for them to run. Well, maybe hobble.
Stiles looked at the girl. Her coppery hair was mussed up with blood from where they must of knocked her out and there was a bruise creeping its way along her collarbone, but God was she still stunning. yeah maybe save that for when you are not in a cage, huh? the snarky little voice in his head quipped. he pushed himself into a crouch, assessing where they were.
" We're in the basement of the school I think." he murmured to her, unsure of where the twins were.
Claudia was thoughtful for a moment, then slowly shifted her way towards the door. Stiles moved in behind her, figuring if something came through that door at least he could try and shield her slightly. She quietly reached up to her hair, thankful that she had decided to clip in her green strip this morning. she snapped the clasp in two and started to work on the lock of the cage door. just as she felt close to releasing the lock, a loud thump reverberated from the wall behind them. Claudia quickly released the lock and they scrambled out and to their feet; with Stiles shielding her and with her Tesla primed, she was ready for whatever came into that room.
She hoped.
