Henry Stein x Reader {Completed}

Chapter 13: Rescue Party

Y/n's POV:

I woke up to see that I was in a dark room. I couldn't see anything. I tried to sit up from the chair I was sitting in, but all of a sudden realized I couldn't; I was tied to the chair.

"Henry!" I called out. "Henry, help me!"

"Oh, y/n," a sly voice said. "I hate to break it to you, but your boyfriend isn't here to save you this time."

I recognized that voice. That sounded like...

"Alice! What do you want?!" I snapped. "Where's Henry?! What did you do to him?!"

"Oh hush, darling!" She protested, putting a finger up to my lips. "Who knows where Henry is. But I do have someone else who you might like to see."

Just then she turned on the lights. Boris was on the other side of the room and strapped down to a board. Once he saw me, he beamed.

"Boris!" I gasped. "Boris, I missed you!"

"Oh how sweet," Alice said. "The two best friends are finally reunited!"

"Let him go, Susie!"

"That's not my name!" She roared. "My name is Alice Angel!"

"Oh, you think you're an angel?" I scoffed. "What sort of angel holds an innocent wolf and an innocent girl hostage?! You're no angel!"

"An angel who deserves to be beautiful does that!" She seethed. "That's my only goal—my only purpose—to be beautiful! And you two are just the ones to do that for me!"

"But why him?" I asked, breaking down into tears. "Why? You've already killed all those other Boris'! Just stop already!"

"I can't stop! Not when I'm so close to being the perfect angel Joey said I would be!" Alice snapped. "And Boris here is the most perfect Boris out of them all! And you... you're the most perfect... lovely... beautiful girl I've ever seen! You've been like that all your life! And it's not fair! I want your beauty! I need it!"

"Then take me!" I begged. "If I'm so great then kill me instead! Just don't hurt Boris!"

I heard a quiet cry come from Boris. I looked over at him to see him shaking his head frantically.

"Oh come on; he insists otherwise!" Alice protested. "Why don't we all compromise? I can kill both of you! Or even better; I can use you both as bait for Henry! He'll be just itching to find you both. Then once I have him, I can kill him too!"

"No! Not Boris and Henry!" I pleaded.

"Don't worry, my little errand girl," Alice said in a soft but harsh tone as she put a hand on my chin and tilted my head up so that my teary eyes met with hers. "Everything is just as it's supposed to be."

"Alice... please... have some mercy..." I sobbed.

"Oh, y/n, you have nothing to worry about; you'll get your turn to die too. But I'll make sure that you get to watch your precious boys die first." She smirked and looked over at Boris before looking at me again.

"In fact, why don't we start right now?"

Henry's POV:

"Y/n!" I called out. "Y/n, can you hear me?!"

There was no answer.

"Don't worry, I'll be there in just a moment!" I promised. I was about to jump out of the vent myself, but I figured it would be better if I didn't. Who knew how far down that drop was?
