Chapter 27

Allison didn't know what to do; she could see the fury burning in her dad's eyes as he threw a chair against the wall. The loss of her mother and now Katrina had shattered their family once again . Allison desperately tried to be strong for her dad, but she felt herself breaking just as much.

"We'll get her back, I promise," Allison said, pulling her dad into a tight hug. She held onto him, hoping that her words could provide even a modicum of comfort amidst the chaos.

"Argent," Stilinski called out, interrupting their moment. Allison and her dad turned towards him, their faces filled with a mixture of desperation and hope. Stilinski they needed his help to find Katrina.

"I'm going to need to know what happened here to help find your daughter," Stilinski said, his voice steady and determined. Allison's dad nodded in response, grateful for any assistance they could get. Argent began telling Stilinski half of the story, leaving out the supernatural elements that he knew Stilinski would find hard to believe . At that moment, finding Katrina was the priority. The urgency in their voices conveyed the gravity of the situation.

Melissa's heart raced as she hurriedly navigated the sterile corridors of the hospital, clutching Sarah's frail hand tightly. The urgency in Sarah's voice resonated in her mind, a desperate plea for help. "Hey, hey, stay awake, okay?" Melissa urged, her voice laced with concern and determination. She knew that time was slipping through their fingers like sand in an hourglass. Sarah's words echoed in her thoughts, painting a grim picture of the danger that awaited them.

As they hurried past bustling doctors and nurses, Melissa's mind raced with questions. Who were they? Why did they want Katrina ? Fear gnawed at her insides, but she pushed it aside, focusing on keeping Sarah conscious and alive.

Sarah's breaths grew shallower, her grip on Melissa's hand weakening with each passing second. Melissa could see the life fading from her eyes, and a sense of helplessness washed over her. She knew it was too late.

Tears welled up in Melissa's eyes as Sarah's voice whispered weakly, barely audible amidst the hospital's cacophony. "Find her... you have to find her... they'll kill her if she doesn't give them what they want they'll kill her you have to find her ," Sarah pleaded, her voice carrying a weight of desperation and fear.

In that moment, Melissa made a silent vow, a promise to her to help find Katrina. Sarah's words were etched into her soul, fueling her determination to face the unknown and protect the innocent.

With a heavy heart, Melissa whispered a final goodbye to Sarah, her voice choked with sorrow. She gently laid her hand down, a tender gesture of farewell. A mixture of grief and resolve coursed through her veins, propelling her forward.

Melissa, approached Stilinski, standing by his side. Her presence offered a sense of solidarity and support for Allison and her dad.

"She's gone," Melissa informed Stilinski, her voice filled with sorrow. The tears welled up in Allison's eyes as she understood what Melissa meant. Sarah was Katrina's best friend, and she was dead . Allison's heart ached at the thought of losing not only her sister but her friends being dead . The weight of the situation threatened to overwhelm her, but she couldn't afford to break down now.
