Chapter Eighty-Nine ⚡Memory Found⚡
"The tunnel gate's locked. Everything is locked." Amara said as she ran into the bunker and Scott closed and locked the door behind him. "Think it'll hold them off?" Malia asked as she and Lydia walked up to them. "Probably not." Scott said and Lydia shook her head, "Definitely not." She said.
"You guys aren't hoping I'm gonna be the optimist, are you?" Malia asked and Amara shook her head, "Hales are never optimistic." She said before they walked over to the ice box. "So, how cold does this thing get?" Scott asked as he walked up to it, "Cold enough for a Hellhound. It's not the same thing as the ice bath you guys gave Isaac, but it can lower your core temperature past anything a human can survive." Lydia explained.
"So, what does freezing our asses off have to do with our memories?" Malia asked, looking at Lydia crazy, "It'll slow your heart rate and put you in a trance-like state." Lydia said and Amara nodded slowly. "Like hypnosis." She said and Lydia nodded, "Hypnotic regression. If we can figure out how to work it." She said and Malia glanced around.
"This says start. So, maybe it's not that complicated." Malia said, pointing at a button on the side while Scott looked at the other side where a bunch of knobs and dials where. "...It's complicated."
"So, optimistically, how much time do you think we need to do this?" Malia asked and Amara looked over at her, "As much time as Liam and Stilinski can buy us." She said.

Malia pressed the start button and the box came to life. "Okay. It's doing something." Malia said and they nodded, "Whose going first?" Amara asked. "I'll go." Malia said making them look at her, "Are you sure? I can go." Scott asked and Malia nodded. "I'm sure." She said before taking her shirt off. She looked at them before slowly walking into the box and closing the door. She looked at them through the small window and nodded making Lydia lock it.
"Remember, this will get cold enough to kill you. So, if something feels wrong, or, like it's not working..." Lydia trailed off and Malia just nodded, "It's going to work." Scott said and Lydia looked at him and raised her eyebrows. "I hope you're not saying that because you think I know what I'm doing." She said and Amara nodded slightly, "I know you can figure it out."
Lydia sighed softly and nodded before turning all the dials making cold air blow into the box. "So, what are we supposed to do? Talk to her? Help her remember?" Scott asked looking over at Lydia.
"We need to guide her, keep her focused." Lydia said before looking over at Malia, "Malia, you have to think about them. Concentrate on Stiles. Try to picture him in your head. Think about what he looks like, things he's said." She said and Malia nodded. All of the sudden the machine made a noise and started beeping making them look around alarmed.
