Following the Stars

Hold Me Close, Don't Let Go

"ALLSON!" Lydia screamed, as the tear closed, the brunettes body lay motionless on the ground, Lydia desperately pulled against the ropes, ignoring the burning pain it left around her wrists. "Allison wake up!" Her voice broke as she broke down, tears rolling freely down her cheeks
She had watched the girl she loved tackle a Greek fucking goddess, watched as they moved towards the tear, watched as a figure flew from Allison and Aisa's bodies into the tear as the bodies fell short, crashing into the ground, watched as Aisa's body turned to dust in front of her eyes. She heard Allison scream as the tear shut.
"Allison!" Lydia screamed again, her eyes not shifting from the girl in front of her

Danny and Stiles stood side by side, using each other for support

"You good there Stilinksi?" Danny asked breathlessly
"You know it" Stiles replies with a laugh, letting his bat hang loosely from his hand as he swings an arm around Danny's shoulders. He opened his mouth to say something else when he gasped, a tension in his chest pulling, stretching like a cord, he looked over to Danny who wore what he assumed was a similar expression, his hand on his own chest as he met Stiles' eyes
"Did you feel that?" Danny asked, Stiles nodded weakly
"It felt like magic" Stiles replied
"Do you think?"
Stiles shook his head furiously, they heard a pained groan and they ran in the direction of it, Derek was trying to get to his feet, his movements restricted by the circle of mountain ash
"Derek?!" Stiles exclaimed, stopping short of the line "Are you okay?"
"She controlled us" Derek growled, his hand gripping his gunshot wound
"You're you?" Stiles asked hopefully
"I'm me. I'm so sorry, I tried to fight it but-" he replied, that was all Stiles needed, he broke the line of mountain ash, pulling one of the bullets and a lighter out and handing them to the alpha. He hovered nearby while Derek set about fixing himself up. As soon as the wound was treated Derek looked up to ask a question but was caught off guard by Stiles throwing himself forward, crashing their lips together. Danny stood awkwardly off to one side as the scene unfolded, Stiles pulled away after a moment
"I promised Allison, I promised her that as soon as you came back I'd tell you how I feel because I fucking love you and you nearly died and holy shit we all nearly died and-"
"Stiles, shut up" Derek growled, he leant in for another kiss but stopped short when he felt a scream tear through the air "Lydia!" Derek jumped to his feet, almost knocking Stiles onto his back in the process
"What?" Stiles asked, his eyes wide
"Lydia, I heard her scream" Derek's eyes flashed red, he looked towards Scott and then to Danny
"Go" Danny urged, "We'll be right behind you" Derek nodded and sprinted into the clearing, Stiles ran after him

Allison had no idea how long she had been running, it could have been minutes, hours, days for all she knew, Aisa suddenly veered left and disappeared from Allison's view, Allison followed her movements and found herself pass through another wave of energy, gasping as she stumbled.
They were in what at first glance looked like a giant cave. Allison moved slowly, the distinct feeling that she didn't belong, it was misty, a feeling of death washed over her body
"Holy shit" Allison muttered
"I think you must be lost" A voice from beside her said, it was deep, gravelly. Allison turned to the figure, a man stood towering above her,
"Hades?" she asked, the man merely smiled
"Welcome" He greeted, wrapping an arm around her shoulder and leading her as they walked
"Where's Aisa? I, I mean Atropos"
"Somewhere here, she won't get far"

Derek broke into the clearing, claws drawn ready for attack, instead he was met with an hysterical Lydia, screaming and pulling against the ropes binding her to the tree, the smell of blood thick in the air, both from Lydia and Allison, his gaze flickered to his right to see the girl in question lying motionless in the dirt. Derek snapped himself out of it and ran forward to Lydia, easily slashing through all of the ropes and pulling her free, Lydia pushed herself from his grasp immediately and ran towards Allison pulling the girl up along her knees, cradling her face, Derek walked slowly until he stopped beside her, Stiles came running into the clearing at that point, his eyes falling on the scene immediately
"Lydia"
"She fell through" Lydia looked over to Stiles as he came to a stop opposite her "She fell into the tear, she separated her soul and fell through" Stiles nodded, tears filled his eyes as he reached for Allison's hand, faltering at seeing the amount of blood
"Derek, give me your shirt" Stiles said, his voice devoid of any emotion, Derek frowned and complied, using his claws to tear it to shreds and handed it to Stiles. Stiles took a strip of the material and wrapped it around her palm, tying it together in a neat bow, the blood soaked through almost immediately. Derek stepped forward and took the hand, pain marring his features immediately. He stepped back a moment later
"I took her pain, but I can't do anything else"
"Lydia, you have to bring her back" Stiles pleaded
"I don't know how" Lydia shook her head, pulling Allison closer into her body
"Lydia. You can do this, Allison trusts you and so do we" Danny walks into their view, supporting Scott in his arms
"He's right Lydia, you brought her back before, you can do it again" Danny dropped Scott beside Stiles and knelt down beside her so they were all circled around her
