Keep Your Head Up (3rd book in Fatal Attraction)

My Dad's Been Taken

Emilie's POV
The lights went out and we were all standing in the classroom no Ms. Blake or dad. I picked up his dented badge. "We have to go tell Derek and Violet." Scott said. "I'll get the others out of here." Conner and Isabelle said. "Smart." We all said and left. Sage, Scott, Stiles, and I got to Deeek's loft and told them everything. "So the lady I've befriended is a bitch who sacrifices people?" Violet asked. "Yes." We all said. "Okay." Derek said and Scott and Sage pulled us in the bedroom. "She here?" I asked. "Yeah." Scott said. "Guys? Guys, where are you?" Jennifer said, she lost all the respect I had for her. "Right here." Derek and Violet said. "Thank God. Something happened at the recital. At the school. Okay, I need to tell you both before you hear it, before you hear any of it from them." Jennifer said. "From who?" Violet asked playing dumb. "Sage, Emilie, Scott, Stiles. They're gonna tell you things. Things you can't believe. You have to trust me, okay? You trust me." Jennifer said, damn she's a good actress for a murderer. "What is it?" Derek asked still playing dumb. "Promise you'll listen to me." Jennifer said. "We promise." Violet said. "They're already here, aren't they? So... they told you it was me? That I'm the one taking people?" Jennifer said and we walked out. "We told him you're the one killing people." I said. "Oh, that's right. Committing human sacrifices? What, cutting their throats? Yeah, I probably do it on my lunch hour. That way, I can get back to teaching high school English the rest of the day. That makes perfect sense." Jennifer said. "Where's my dad?" Stiles asked. "How should I know? Derek, Violet, tell me you don't believe this." Jennifer said. "Do you know what happened to Emilie and Stiles's father?" Derek asked. "No." Jennifer said. "Ask her why she almost killed Lydia." Sage said. "Lydia Martin? I don't know anything about that." Jennifer lied, I rolled my eyes. "What do you know?" Violet asked glaring. "I know that these kids, for whatever misguided reason, are filling your heads with an absurd story. And one they can't prove, by the way." Jennifer said. "What if we can?" Scott asked pulling out a vile. "What is that?" Jennifer asked. "My boss told me it's a poison and a cure... which means you can use it... and it can be used against you." Scott said. "Mistletoe? Guys, wait, wait! You need me." Jennifer said as Derek grabbed her. "What are you?" Derek asked. "The only person who can save your sister. Call Peter. Call him!" Jennifer said. Violet called him and had him on speaker. "It's not good. She's in and out of consciousness. She's vomiting up black blood along with one other alarming substance." Peter said. "Mistletoe." Derek said. "How did you know that?" Peter asked. "Derek. Derek, what are you doing?" Violet asked as Derek rightened his grip on Jennifer. "Her life... it's in my hands!" Jennifer said. "Stop. Derek, stop!" I yelled at him. "Stilinski, you'll never find him." Jennifer said smirking. "Derek. Derek!" Scott and Sage yelled at him. "That's right. You need me. All of you. You should know I'm not doing this because I have to. I want to. I could still run, and you wouldn't have an easy time stopping me. But I don't want your sister to die. I'm only doing what I had to do." Jennifer said. "Shut up." Violet and Derek said. "You need to hear the whole story, guys. You need to know just how connected we really are." Jennifer said. "Can I knock her unconscious?" I asked. "Come on." Sage said and we got to the hospital and I had my light blue taser, and extendable metal bo staf in my pocket. "I don't know, something feels wrong about this. You know, we proved it to Derek, but she still had this look like it didn't matter. You know, like it was all still going according to plan. You saw it, didn't you?" Stiles asked as we got out of the Jeep. "What's that?" Sage asked. "Well, you two got claws, Emmy has a taser. I got a bat." Stiles said showing us a metal baseball bat. We walked in and saw Ms. McCall. "Scott! Sage! What are you doing here? The hospital's evacuating." She said. "We're here for Molly." I said. "What, all of you? Why does Stiles have my bat?" Ms. McCall asked. "Mom, just trust us on this. You need to get out of here." Sage said. "Right now." Scott said. "The building is supposed to be clear in 30 minutes. We've got two ambulances that are coming back. One's 10 minutes out, the other's 20. Molly needs to be on one of those. They'll be picking up in the basement garage." Ms. McCall said: "Got it." We said. "You don't have to keep me on a leash, guys. I'm going to help." Jennifer said. "Cram it you hoe bag." Violet said. I silently laughed at Violet's insult. "Derek." Scott said. "We got a problem. Big problem." Peter said and we saw Ethan and Aiden in big alpha form. "Help me." Stiles said running we ran and I tazed them and it stopped them for a bit. "Ethan, Aiden, stop! You don't know what you're doing." Scott said. "All we want is her." Ethan and Aiden said as Derek ran with Molly on the stretcher. "Don't stop, don't stop!" Derek yelled and we ran and hid in a room. "Where's the big guy?" Stiles asked. "He's close." Derek asked. "What about Ms. Blake? What do you mean? What does that mean? Like, she's gone? Scott, are you kidding me?" Stiles said. "Sorry sorta running for our lives." I said to my brother. "Shh, quiet." Violet said. "Me be quiet? Me, huh? Are you telling me what to do now? When your psychotic, mass murdering friend who by the way... has got my dad somewhere, tied up, waiting to be ritually sacrificed?" Stiles said. "Stiles, they're still out there." Sage said. "And... and they want her, right? Which means now we don't have her either, so my dad and Molly are both dead!" Stiles said. "Not yet. Is she really dying?" Scott asked Peter. "She's definitely not getting any better." Peter said. "There has to be something that we can do. We have to help her." I said. "You can't. Only I can. I can save her, and I can tell you where Sheriff Stilinski is. But there is a pack of alphas in this hospital who want me dead. So I'll help you... but only when I'm out of here and safe. Only then." Jennifer said. "Derek, wait!" Scott said as Derek grabbed Jennifer tightly. "She was trying to get out." Violet said. "I was trying to keep from getting killed. You can't blame me for that." Jennifer said. "If you want to show you're one of the good guys, then heal her." I said. "Not until I'm safe." Jennifer said. "I'd like to volunteer a different method of persuasion. Let's torture her." Peter said. "Works for me." Derek said and the loud speaker went off. "Um, can I have your attention? Mr. Deucalion... excuse me, just Deucalion... Requests you bring the woman calling herself Jennifer Blake to the E.R. reception. Do this, and everyone else can leave. You have ten minutes." Ms. McCall said and Scott and Sage looked at her angry. "He's not gonna hurt her." Jennifer said. "Shut up." Violet and Derek said. "He won't! Scott, you know why. Tell them it's true." Jennifer said smirking. "What does she mean?" The two asked and I kept my mouth shut. "You're not the only one he wants in his pack. Deucalion doesn't just want an Alpha pack. He wants perfection. That means adding the rarest of alphas to his ranks." Jennifer said. "A true Alpha." Peter said. "What's that?" Stiles asked confused. "The kind that doesn't have to steal his power from another. One that can rise by the force of his own will. Our little Scott." Peter said. "It doesn't matter. We still need to get her out of here." Scott said. "That also makes Emilie a luna." Peter said and I flipped him off. "Scott, mom..." Sage said. "Our mom said there's one more ambulance coming in 20 minutes. And I don't think we've been here that long, so if we can get down to the garage, get to the last ambulance, we can get out of here." Scott said nodding. "The twins aren't gonna let us just walk out." I said. "Sage and I'll distract them." Scott said and Sage nodded. "You mean fight them." Derek's said. "Whatever we have to do." Sage said. "I'll help you." Derek said. "Um, sorry, but I'm not going anywhere without you, Derek." Jennifer said, why don't we just knock you out and drag you with us seems good right now. "I'll do it. But I'd prefer to be out there with an advantage." Peter said. "An advantage like what? You mean like a weapon?" I asked. "Something better than a taser or baseball bat." Peter said and I glared. "Hey, wait. What about these?" Stiles said pulling out shock pads. "Do you know how to use those?" Violet asked. "Well, no." Stiles said. "Put 'em down." Derek said. "Epinephrine?" Scott asked. "That's only gonna make him stronger." Derek said rolling his eyes. "How strong?" Peter said. "Very." I said. "All right, boys. Let's rumble." Peter said walking out with Sage and Scott. We got down and saw the ambulance. "It's still here!" I said, and Stiles and I got Molly in it. "Okay, okay, okay. We're okay. We're all right. You okay? How you doing? Wh... why do you look like you're not breathing? Because you aren't breathing, are you? Oh, no. Oh, God. Oh, no, no, no. Why are you not breathing? Come on. Okay, okay, okay. You can do this. Here we go, tilt the head. Fingers on the chin. Clear the throat. Great, nothing. I see nothing. Okay, all right, so, uh... just pinch the nose and blow. Oh, come on, Molly. Come on, Molly." I said seeing her not breathing. "Come on. Oh, come on, Molly. Come on, breathe. Come on, Molly, breathe. Oh! You know, next time I put my lips to your mouth, you better be awake." Stiles said. "At least this wasn't your first kiss." I said. "You just hold on a little longer, okay? Trust me, if anyone's gonna get us out of this, it's Scott. Can't believe I just said that. You know, I actually used to be the one with the plan. Well, or at least a plan B. Now I don't know. Now I'm thinking maybe you were right. You know, maybe... maybe we are pretty much useless. Maybe all we really do is show up and find the bodies. I don't want to find my father's body. You know, you're a lot easier to talk to when you're completely unconscious." Stiles said. We ducked seeing a shadow. "Stiles! Millie, open the door!" Scott said we opened it. "Sorry." We both said. "Help me get them in." Scott wall said seeing and injured Sage. "Where's Derek, Violet, and Jennifer?" I asked. "I have to go back for them and my mom." Scott said. "I'm coming with you." I said. "Okay, two problems. Kali's got the keys to this thing, and I just saw the twins, like, 30 seconds ago." Stiles said. "Stay here." I said and Scott and I went to the roof and saw Ethan and Aiden's alpha form. "Where is she? We're trying not to hurt you." They said. "Try harder." Scott said and I tazed it a few times until the battery died. "Crap." I said getting the bo staf out and they knocked it out and threw me in the side and I saw Scott hurt and the alphas gone and Ms. McCall, Mr. Argent, Allison, and Isaac. "Mama!" Isaac yelled running over to me. "Little beta I'm fine." I said running my fingers through his curls. "Mama?" Mr. Argent asked. "Isaac practically acts like a kid to EJ and Scott." Allison said, I nodded. "Hey! I'd like to try something. Sweetheart, get up! Come on." Ms. McCall said getting Scott up. "Where is Deucalion?" I asked. "He just let me go, said it was a gesture of goodwill. No other reason." Ms. McCall said. "He had to have a reason. I don't think he does anything without a reason." Scott said. "Well, if that means I should continue to be profoundly terrified, then don't worry about it. I got that covered." Ms. McCall said. "So then they're essentially trapped?" Mr. Argent asked after we explained everything to them. "Yeah, right." Scott said. "But there's no way of getting them out without turning the power back on." Mr. Argent said. "But wait, wait, wait, if the power's back on, they're gonna hear the elevator moving, right?" Ms. McCall said. "And they'll be on Jennifer and Derek as soon as it stops. We can't get in a fight with them." I said looking at my bruised arm. "You've got us now." Mr. Argent said. "It's too much to risk. They want her dead, and if she dies, there's nothing that we can do for my dad or Molly." I said. "I don't even think I know which teacher this is." Mr. Argent said confused. "She's... she's the one with the brown hair. She's kind of hot. No, it's jus... just an observation." Isaac said after Allison and I gave him a look, wait Isaac and Allison they'd be cute together. "I've got an idea." Allison said. "Will it hurt?" Isaac asked. "You'll be fine little beta." I said patting his back. "Hey Millie if worse comes to worse, just know I did this for the best." He said. "What?" I asked. "I'm sorry but I'm breaking up with you." Scott said. I slapped him and he nodded leaving. I sat with Mr. Argent as Allison was helping Isaac. "Did he break up with you?" He asked. "Yes. So did Isabelle and Conner tell you the news?" I asked Mr. Argent. "Yes, why are you asking me this now?" He asked. "Just trying to make small talk." I said. "You doing okay?" He asked. "Well let's think my Dad's been taken by an evil Druid and my boyfriend broke up with me for no reason." I said. "Right sorry." Mr. Argent said. "Sorry I didn't mean to snap." I said. Allison walked back to us. "Did he look nervous?" I asked. "Terrified." Allison said. "Yeah, I can still hear you, very, very clearly." Isaac said. "Just go as soon as you see them, okay?" I said. "Yeah. Yeah, I got it." Isaac said. We saw them nearing. "Now!" I yelled. "All right, come on, come on, come on!" Isaac said. "I got her. Okay, get the door." Peter said and Sage, Peter, and I got Molly in all got in. "Stiles, let's go! Stiles!" I yelled. "Scott! Scott, wait!" Stiles yelled. "Come on, we gotta go. Drive, you idiot." Peter said. "I can't. Not without Scott." Isaac said to Peter. "Come on, you want the Argents and your Pack Mom dead too? Make a choice! Oh, for the love of God! Go, now!" Peter said. "All right!" Isaac said and we started moving. "Everyone okay?" I asked. "If you mean is Molly breathing then yes." Sage said. "I can't believe Scott just left." Isaac said. "I can't believe he broke up with Em." Peter said. "I'll smack him for you." Sage said. "I'll be fine." I lied even though it felt like my heart was being ripped out and torn apart.
