Ephemeral ➵ Allison Argent (5)

Twenty-Two

A/N: one more chapter :)

Allison's POV:

"Lydia!" I call out as I continue to sprint through hallway once I broke through the access grate. "Lydia!"

"I'm in here!" I hear her voice call out in which I pause in my steps. "Allison!"

I continue to sprint through the tunnel and stop at the wooden door. "Lydia?"

"Oh thank god." I hear her say from behind the door. "Get me the hell out of here!"

I tug on the locks, seeing that it needed a key which causes me to groan. "Dammit, the one time Olivia isn't here with me." I mutter. "Lydia, is there anything inside that might help to unlock the door?"

"I can barely see myself so what makes you think I have anything!"

"Same attitude so at least I know she's okay." I mutter.

"I've got my own key." I turn at the voice and see Kira with a sword in her hand, causing my eyes to widen. "You might want to stand away from the door, Lydia!"

Kira tightly clutches into her sword before driving it through the wooden hinges at the top. She repeats this process several times at each of the hinges before she lifts her foot and kicks the door down, letting the wooden door drop to the ground.

Lydia looks up to meet our eyes in shock but Kira pants with a smile. "Sorry I'm late. Had to make a quick trip to see the Skinwalkers." She casually says as she held her sword up for us to see.

I chuckle. "Nice."

Olivia's POV:

My knees buckle to the ground but I keep my hands raised, blasting as much fire as I could to drive the Beast to back away but it covers its face with its arm and with one hand, it swiftly grabs both of my hands and throws me against the cemented wall.

I fall flat on the ground with a grunt but Liam is quick enough to continue his attacks in hopes of overwhelming the creature.

It didn't.

The Beast swings a punch to Liam's chest which sends him flying to crash against the wall but Scott pushes himself up from the ground. He blocks the second swipe of claws from the Beast with his arm but in a matter of miliseconds, the Beast swings a punch to Scott's jaw which sends him flying across the room.

I glance between Scott and Liam. "Try to grab his arms. I'll handle the rest." I say and they both nod with a growl.

They sprint ahead first and I conjure a fireball with my hands and throw it towards the Beast's face, causing it to block the attack with its hands. Because of the attempt, Liam and Scott grab his arms and mustering all the strength I had left, I aim my hands towards the Beast and blast the flames towards him once more which causes it to let out another roar that rattled our surroundings.

"Stay in control."

I shake my head, dismissing the voice then quickly adjusted my stance and pushed my hands further which rippled across, burning a brighter flame.

It seemed successful at first, but the Beast swung Liam and Scott around, causing them to lose their grips and roll across the room but catch themselves by standing up once more again.

Before one of us could move, the Beast balled its large hands into fists and slams them down to the ground, creating a force that sent the three of us flying backward.

My head slams against the metal pipes and fall face flat on the ground with a groan. I lift my head, seeing Scott knocked unconscious but Liam seemed in a daze.
