Love Under The Moon

Chapter 12: Being Cornered

We ran into the lobby and Allison was standing there.

"Why did you come? What are you doing here?" Scott asked.
" Because you asked me to," she answered.

"I asked you to?"

"Why do I get the feeling you didn't send this message?" She held up her phone showing a text.

"Because I didn't."

"Did you drive here?" Stiles asked.

"Jackson did."

"Jackson's here, too?" Stiles almost whined.

"And Lydia, what's going on? Who sent this text?"

"Finally. Can we go now?" Lydia said as Jackson and Lydia entered.  "Who are you?" She asked looking at me.

I waved my hand, pursing my lips in a thin line. "I'm uh... friend of Scott and Stiles."

We heard a low growling and a loud thud causing us all to jump.

"Run!" Scott yelled.

We all booked it heading down the hallway of classes.

We ran into one closing the doors.

"Help me get this in front of the door," Scott said.

"Scott, wait, not here," Stiles said.

"What was that? Scott, what was that?" Allison asked.

"What came out of the ceiling?" Lydia asked.

"Will you just help me? The chairs, stack the chairs."

"Guys Can we just wait a second? You guys, Iisten to me Can we wait a second? Guys? Stiles talking. Can we hang on one second, please?"

There was so much chaos and panic I don't think anyone could hear themselves think.

"Hello!" Stiles yelled finally causing us all to turn. "Okay, nice work. Really beautiful job, everyone. Now, what should we do about the 20-foot wall of windows?"

"Why can't we just climb out of them?" I asked.

"Bolted, already tried, next?!" Stiles said.

"Break them?"

"Again, thought of this and cause a bunch of noise letting it know exactly where we are!"

"We run for it after that?!" I said. "We've outrun it this far!"

"I'm not willing to take a chance!"

"Can somebody please explain to me what's going on, because I'm freaking out here," Allison said. "And I would like to know why. Scott?"

"Somebody killed the janitor," he answered.

"What?" Allison asked in shock as I looked over at Stiles, also shocked. I must've missed this part of the night.

"Yeah, the janitor's dead."

"What's he talking about? Is this a joke? What, who killed him?"

"No, no, no, no. This was supposed to be over. The mountain lion killed-" Lydia started.

"No, don't you get it? There wasn't a mountain lion," Jackson interrupted.

"Who was it? What does he want? What's happening? Scott!" Allison spoke.

" I don't know. I just If we go out there, he's gonna kill us."

"Us? He's gonna kill us?" Lydia asked.
