Castles Crumbling | S. Stilinski

79| Liv.. you came back

It feels like a weight is lifted off of my shoulders. I don't have to do any of this alone. Not anymore. But I can't think about that now. Lydia is in danger in Eichen and we need to get her out.

After days of nobody really talking to anyone, Stiles and I have came up with a plan to break Lydia out of Eichen. Theoretically speaking my magic alone should be able to get us through but we can never be too sure. It's a pretty decent plan but things could go wrong.

Bella and Ashley have been left out of the plan. I told them I needed help packing and that's what they're doing right now. It'll keep them distracted.

I glare at Stiles as I get into a body bag. I hate this part of the plan. We have to sneak in somehow and of fucking course this is the way.

I hear the doors open. I put up an illusion as Parrish opens up my body bag. The guard gags, walking away. Parrish zips up my bag and the doors close.

Our bodies are put inside a room. I wait a couple minutes before unzipping my bag. I let out a breath of air. It's hard as hell to breathe inside those bags.

"I hated.. every second of that."

"Never again."

I look at Stiles.

"It was your fucking idea."

He tries to get out of his bag, falling off of the table. I hold in my laugh.

"Fifteen minutes starting now."

"Great."

I get out of my bag fully. I stretch my legs. We all walk out of the room. I lead the way down the hall. I turn the corner and see nurses. I push them all back.

"What the hell are they doing there?"

"I don't know." Stiles says. "Their rounds should've ended five minutes ago."

Liam looks around me.

"I can take them."

"I love the enthusiasm, Liam, but no." I say. "But I can make them fall asleep."

Stiles and Scott give me a weird look.

"It's not like I'm hurting them." I snap. "How much time?"

Scott takes out his phone to look at the timer.

"Three minutes."

"I'll just knock them out and hide the bodies."

I try to hide my smile.

"Oh my God." Stiles says. "Please, stop."

We all jump when a patient slams his hands against the glass. He starts talking about a doctor. He's drawing attention to the nurses. I hold my hand up.

"Sleep."

I can feel Scott's glare. I ignore him as the nurses leave down a hallway. I walk around the corner. The generator lights turn on and I smile.

"She did it."

"You got five minutes to get to Lydia."

Stiles stares at the door with his card.

"Where's the card reader?"

We look around. Stiles starts to panic.

"We don't have fucking time for this."

I hold my hand out, busting the door off of its hinges. Stiles and I run through. He uses the card to get through another set of doors. We finally get to Lydia's room.

"Oh my God.."

By her bed is a small table that has a napkin with her blood on it.

"Liv.." She barely says. "Stiles?"

I run to her side, holding the side of her head. It's where the blood is coming from.

"You can't be here."

I see a hole in her head. A literal fucking hole.

"You're going to die if you stay."

"Yeah?" I say. "Well at least I died trying to save you."

Stiles starts taking off the restraints that are holding her body down to the bed.

"Liv, he's coming."

"We're not leaving you here."

"You have to."

I look at the door as an alarm buzzes. I start taking off the other restraints.

"Go." She says. "Please."

I shake my head but Stiles grabs my body.

"Stiles, no."

He pulls me behind a wall. He puts his hand over my mouth. We listen to Lydia talk about Scott and his pack.

"Someone's coming." She says. "But it's not Scott."

Stiles let's go of me.

"I'm looking for a Hellhound."

Stiles and I look through the holds in the gate.

"What the fuck is going on?"

I turn my head as Scott roars. I feel my eyes flash. I look back as Theo holds his claws into Lydia's neck. Stiles holds me back when I try to interfere. We watch Theo's fuck up of a Chimera pack try and defeat Parrish.

Valack tries to take Lydia but I stand up. I hold my glowing red hand up, getting inside his mind. Corey is thrown on me and I lose my focus. I throw his body off and look around.

I get up and run after Valack. I phase through the door. I look at my hands, I've never done that before. I hold my head as a scream fills my ears. It's Lydia in pain.

"Liv.."

"I'm coming, Lyd."

I start running down the halls. It's like a maze down here. I follow the sound of her pain. It's like a magnet. A Banshee and witch are connected. They always have been. This is no different.

"I can't.."

"Just hold on."

I stand outside the door she's on the other side of. I'm about to open it when she wails. I hold my hands over my ears. It stops and I take my chance. I break down the door and run to her.

"Liv.. you came back."

"Did you really doubt me?"

I start taking off the wires connected to her head.

"You can't." She says. "It's too dangerous."

I turn around and Stiles runs in. He helps her get her off the table. We start walking back down the halls. Once we get through one of the doors she falls back onto her knees.

"I can't hold it."

"Lydia.. don't."

I start groaning. I can feel her pain like it's my own.

"Run!"

I hold my hand out, consuming her wail. I fall to the ground after. Stiles runs to me and I shake my head. Parrish grabs Lydia's body.

"Fuck me.."

Stiles helps me up and we run out.
