Following the Stars

So Sorry Lover

Allison gripped onto the tree for dear life as she took a shaky breath, blinking away the darkness at the corners of her sight. She tried to reach out to Lydia, the static in her mind leaving a white noise in her ears, she was close. Allison pushed herself away from the tree, ignoring the smear of blood she leaves behind. She does one last inventory check, patting down her pockets for the items she had originally had in her jacket (Lydia had brought her that jacket, she wanted revenge) she pulled out one of her daggers and held it firmly in her left hand, Allison sighed, regretting not spending more time practising with her weaker hand. Steeling herself Allison forced herself to into a jog, careful not to jar her shoulder any more.

She broke through the tree line, a wave of energy washing over her, her eyes fell on the girl opposite her, wide eyes fell on her immediately, Allison knew immediately that this was the place, the tear was here somewhere

"Allison!" Lydia exclaimed as Allison skidded to a halt in front of her, Allison surged forward to kiss her desperately before pulling back, ready to set to work on the ropes "You've been shot!" Lydia exclaimed, eyes flashing with worry and...judgement?

"Yeah, well... You're wearing heels" Allison replied with a chuckle

"I knew you were going to say that" Lydia sighed

"It was Scott, it's a clean shot" Allison said hurriedly "Where's Aisa?"

"Allison..." Lydia muttered "It's a trap"

"I know"

"She planned everything"
"I know"

"Allison..."

"I know Lydia!" Allison snapped, her eyes softened when her eyes met Lydia's "I know" she repeats, quieter this time "But I have a plan"

"It won't work" A voice sings from beside her, Allison leapt to her feet and stepped forward slightly, acting as a shield for Lydia. Aisa's eyes fall onto Allison's bloodied shoulder and tutted sympathetically "I asked them to leave you unharmed... Shame"

"Part of the job" Allison shrugged slightly

"Yes...Well, how are your friends?"

"All alive, even the wolves" Allison replied, she heard Lydia breathe a sigh of relief from behind her

"Hm... I must say I am impressed"
"You should never underestimate us" Lydia said from behind them, Aisa chuckled humourlessly. Allison clenched her fist and Lydia watched in awe as she saw blue sparks jump across the skin, Aisa seemed to see the movement as well,

"So that was lightning we felt? A tough element to control, Zeus was wise to separate you mortals" her gaze moved past Allison and fell on Lydia who was still trying to free herself from the ropes. Allison watched as Aisa's body shifted slightly, her magic tingled under her skin so Allison braced herself, ready to attack at a moments notice. "But I wonder, are all soul mates this powerful when joined? Or is it because of you Lydia?" Aisa steps forward, Allison doesn't even give herself time to react, she throws her right hand up, yelling as the pain in her arm tears through her senses and forces herself to stay steady as a bolt shoots from her palm, catching Aisa in the shoulder and throwing the woman backwards, Allison drops down into a defensive stance, holing her knife in front of her, she feels a cold grip around her and throw her backwards, Lydia's cry of her name echoing in her ears as she crashes painfully into the dirt

"I wish you hadn't done that" Aisa sighed as they both got to their feet, though judging from her grin, Allison figured the woman was actually quite pleased. She pulled out a knife of her own and brandished it in front of Allison, giving her the impression that Aisa was showing the blade off, Allison's gaze flitted over to Lydia's briefly, the tiniest of nods confirming Allison's suspicions, it was the blade that belonged to Hades, the blade Stiles had talked about.
