Dear Allison. ~ Allydia

Epilogue

'They're here and I don't need to scream to know that they're going to kill you,' Lydia said to the nogitsune who held her arm tightly. He pushed her into a small room with a steal door. He closed it before he turned around to look at her. The face of the friend, she loved so dearly, looked at her, but she knew it wasn't really him. It wasn't Stiles. She hardly recognized him and he didn't sound like sweet and warm Stiles that she knew..

'Good. Because that's exactly why I brought you. I needed to know when they'd be close enough. When my own death was closing in,' the nogitsune said to her.

Lydia heard the rattling sound that she had heard before. She looked around her, in fear and saw the Oni surrounding them. All the air was pushed out her lungs as she looked in the gleaming, yellow eyes that made her think about fireflies. Quickly she backed away until her back was touching the cold, concrete wall.

'Because only when they're close, can I do this..' he snapped the last tail she recognised was Kira's moms.

The oni dissapeared and Lydia felt her heart pounding in her chest. Before she could get any word out of her mouth, the nogitsune left and closed the steel door behind him. She wrapped her arms around her body, trying to keep the last bit of warmth that her body contained. The Oni now belonged to the nogitsune, by breaking the last tail he made them his Oni. She closed her eyes, hoping her friends didn't come looking for her, like she tried to tell them.

------

A little while after the nogitsune left, she heard footsteps getting closer. She turned around and saw Scott and Stiles running towards her. Stiles looked pale and really tired and the concerned look on Scott's face scared her.

'Lydia, are you alright?' Scott asked, relieved to see Lydia was still alive.

The relieve she first felt by the sight of her friends turned into terror. 'No. No, no, no. Why are you here?' This wasn't supposed to happen, she wrote the message on the window of her car. Meredith had told them. They weren't supposed to come, they weren't supposed to be here.

'Lydia, we're here for you,' Stiles said, not understanding why she wasn't relieved to see them.

'You weren't supposed to be here. You didn't get my message?'

'Lydia, what's happening?'

'Who else is here? Who came with you? Who else is here?' she screamed at her two friends.

Scott was the first one to react and ran past Stiles towards the exit. There was something about to happen, something really bad. He had to reach his friends before it would get out of hand.

Lydia grabbed Stiles hand and pulled him along. She could feel it, she learned to recognize it. The feeling that someone was about to die. She wanted to scream, she wanted to scream so badly, but she didn't want to give in to this feeling. If she gave in, it would be real and this couldn't be real. She could still safe them, they could still save their friends.

'Lydia... Lydia, I can't...' Stiles voice faintly called to her.

She turned around and saw him falling to the ground. Quickly she tried to keep him from hitting the ground hard. 'I can't..'

She kneeled down beside him, while Scott ran as fast as he could. Stiles' whole body shiffering and his eyes were slowly closing. She grabbed his face with her hands. His skin icecold and his eyes looked into hers for a while before slowly closing.

'Stiles, stay with me,' she begged him. 'Stiles!'

She let out a soft cry as his eyes fully closed. She felt a sudden darkness wrapping itself around her heart, she gasped for breath but all the air got sucked out of her lungs. She grabbed Stiles' jacket tight and her whole body started trembling. She knew this feeling, she had felt it before. It was death, but it wasn't Stiles.

'No,' she whispered. 'No, no, no.'

The feeling like she got stabbed in the stomach overcame her and her eyes filled up with tears. This couldn't be happening. This couldn't be true. The urge to scream was too strong, she couldn't keep it inside, not anymore.

The image of her best friend showed up in her mind. Allison, the girl that she met on her first day of the new school year. The girl she became so close with, the only person that saw Lydia for who she really was and sticked by her trough everything. The girl that Lydia couldn't live without anymore. The girl she loved so dearly... was dead.

'ALLISOOON!' she screamed and then let herself collapse against Stiles' body, trying to find some comfort, looking for his warmth. But she knew that the emptiness inside of her could never be filled again.
