Another Universe (Teen Wolf X Harry Potter)

1 07: Night School, pt.2

The three start running, nearly stumbing over each other as the alpha bounds from one level of the roof to the next, landing and leaping in the same instant as Violet, Scott and Stiles race ahead. behind them glass explodes into the hallway, the Alpha crashing back into the school. Scott grabs Stiles, pulling him to the adjacent stairwell.

SCOTT: Down, down!
They race into the lower level of the school, running for safety. They back into the basement of the school, slipping around corners. Florescent lights flicker above them with an electric crackling.
VIOLET: We have to do something.
SCOTT: Like what?
STILES: Kill it. Hurt it. Inflict mental anguish on it. Something.

Stiles glances at the doors with mesh cage windows in them, old and dirty lockers lying open inside. Trying to think fast, eyes darting as a door slams open behind them. The three of them pull back into the darkness. Holding still, they hear a strange clicking on the floor, claws tapping against the tile. Stiles's eyes move from the thin corridor to where several old administrative desk lie stacked against the wall. Scott and Violet catch his look, seeing an idea come to fruition. Stiles slowly very slowly moves his hand into his coat pocket to pull out his car keys.

He brings them up. They jangle softly, causing both boys and girl to flinch. Scott glares at Stiles, eyes nearly coming out of his head while Violet rolls her eyes. Especially when his friend rears back and throws the keys. They land right in one of the cage rooms, clattering against the wall. Something blurs past, a massive shape in the darkness, soaring in after the keys. Without hesitating, Stiles jumps out of the shadows and slams the door shut behind it.

STILES: guys the desk, the desk

With barely a second to comprehend the plan, Scott and Violet rush to one of the steel desks and ram it against the closed door. Stiles slips out of the way as the door jerks foward hitting the side of the desk. The Alpha roars from inside the cage room, slamming into the door. But the desk wedges between it and the opposite wall. Violet, Scott and Stiles turn to each other in a moment of pure triumph. The Alpha can't get out. They trapped it.

Many cheer for them while Lily is thankful that her daughter is safe...for now

Stiles, Violet and Scott stand on opposite sides of the desk now wedged between the cage door and the wall. Stiles slowly motions with his hand for Scott and Violet to climb over. But they look too scared to move. A breath comes from inside the cage room. The three turn back. They can't see it in the darkness, but the Alpha is there, trapped inside. With a far more emphatic look, Stiles twists his head at Scott and Violet, trying to get them to climb over the desk to him. Finally, Scott moves first, awkwardly sliding over the desk as the Alpha's hand slams up against the mesh wire window of the door sending Violet, Stiles and Scott flinching back. They stare at the massive hand, clawed fingers like talons fitting through the openings. It slowly pulls back, disappearing again into the shadows. Incredibly, Stiles starts toward the cage room.

SCOTT: (a harsh whisper) What are you doing

STILES I want to get a look.
VIOLET: Are you crazy?
STILES: It's trapped. It can't get out.
The cage rattles as if in response.

STILES: That's right. We got you.
SCOTT: Shut up.
STILES No. I'm not scared of this thing.I'm not scared of you. Because you're not going any--
Suddenly the Alpha leaps up, shooting right back into the ceeling. the panels burst away, crashing and clattering to the floor. Violet, Scott and Stiles gaze up in horror as the ceiling panels above them shake, bending and popping up under the weight of the creature. No longer trapped at all. They turn to watch the panels rumble and shake above as the Alpha makes its retreat.
