Return ↠ Argent [2]

12. Plan B

1 day ago

We had a plan.

A crappy one, but we had a plan. Scott had learned that Deucalion was staying at some run down mall that was a little ways out of town, but we knew where they were, and that's what mattered. Derek, Cora, Boyd, and Isaac all got involved in this; only because Derek practically made them. Peter was thrown in there too, but he wasn't going to risk his life for an Argent, so he didn't come.

Scott and the others tried to tell me to stay behind, that they had this, but no way was I going to do that. Lydia insisted on coming as well, since she knew that Stiles was in danger was my guess. I was going to make sure Allison and Stiles both were okay, and if we found out that they weren't...let's just say that I'll make sure Deucalion won't ever be able to see again.

"Scott," I hear Deucalion say as I peer over the edge of the concrete wall, looking down to see Scott and Isaac walk up to Deucalion. "I thought you said you'd be coming alone."

Scott motions towards Isaac as Lydia looks over the side as well. "Oh yeah, he's not a problem-"

"Not him," Deucalion growls, knowing that we had a plan and it was already in motion. My eyes flick across the room at Derek, seeing him step out alone with Cora and Boyd. My heart races as I look over and see Ennis and Kali step out from the shadows, the twins flipping in the air before landing on the ground, merged together.

Now was our chance.

"Where's Allison and Stiles?" Scott spits, knowing that this was business. I could tell in his voice that he was almost as desperate to find them as I was. I start sneaking my way across the second floor as I make my way towards where the twins came from, hoping that I'd find Allison and Stiles in one of the rooms. Lydia follows quietly behind me as she kicks her heels off; good thing too, or else we really would have gotten caught.

Deucalion laughs at Scott. "Do you really think I'd just give you an answer that easily?"

"Why do you have them?" Derek says this time, fully transformed. "It's not like you can do much with a spaz and a hunter."

Deucalion grins ever so slightly as I keep quiet. "They're leverage, that's what they are. Speaking of leverage, where is the seer?"

Scott furrows his eyebrows as my blood goes cold. "Corey? We told him to stay back for this reason exactly."

Deucalion looks as if he knows something is up. "Kind of surprising...I would've figured he'd do anything in his power to get back his girl and his friend."

Scott growls lowly at this, probably from Deucalion saying "his girl", but it didn't matter. Kali acts first as she runs at Derek, starting a fight to break out amongst everyone. Deucalion stays back as he grins, listening to the chaos all around him. I watch for a moment as Scott and Isaac transform, but soon I'm turning around and scanning the area for Allison and Stiles.

I tried my best to not make any noise, but it was slightly hard considering the fact that there were little bits of concrete lying everywhere across the floor. I curse at myself under my breath as I peer into one of the rooms; completely abandoned. The next three rooms were the same way, until I got to the last one on the right side.

My heart leapt in my chest when I saw two figures sitting there against the wall, heads lowered. Their hands were behind their backs and tape was across their mouths, but they didn't move in the slightest. I wondered if they were passed out, but what mattered was that they were alive. They were okay.

"Allison," I whispers fiercly as I take a step inside. "Stiles."

Suddenly, both of their eyes flick up to Lydia and I as their faces flush white, making me grow sick with nerves. Allison's eyes are wide and filled with tears as she shakes her head, trying to tell me something that I wasn't sure of. Stiles was silent as he tried to pull his hands free, but failed with every attempt.
