I'll remember you

8: Memories✔️

     We went back underground and locked everything so nobody can come in, but I'm pretty sure it won't be able to stop the Wild Hunt "The tunnel gate's locked" Lydia says running towards us, Scott and I close the door behind her. "Think it will hold them off?" Malia asked "No way," I say "You guys aren't hoping I'm gonna be the optimist, are you?" she asks Lydia looks at us and I shrug my shoulder.

     We walk to the machine, Lydia was talking about "So, how cold does this thing set?" Scott asked "Cold enough for a Hellhound. It's not the same as the ice bath Ana gave Isaac, but it can lower your core temperature past anything a human can survive." Lydia says and I nod "So what does freezing our asses off have to do with our memories?" Malia asked. "It slows your heart rate, and puts you in a trance-like state," Lydia says "Like hypnosis," Scott says "Hypnotic Regression. Do you even know how to work it?" I ask turning to Lydia.

     "This says start, so maybe it's not that complicated," Malia says, I see the different buttons, handles, wires, and numbers, "Nope, still very complicated," I say to Malia "So, optimistically, how much time do you think we need to do this?" Malia asked, "As much time as Liam and Stilinski can buy us." Scott said and he opens the machine door.

     Scott takes off his shirt, I see Malia looking, she catches me seeing her so she stops and I smile. Scott was ready to go in the machine, so Malia pushes start "Okay, it's doing something. You ready?" Malia asks. Scott goes in I start to get nervous "You know Scott maybe I should do it, it might not be safe," I say "That's why I'm doing it, and not you," Scott says, he grabs my hand "We are getting him back" Scott says I look into his eyes "We are getting him back" I repeat giving him a side smile. I close the door of the machine that Scott's in. Lydia starts to lock everything I look at Scott "Remember this will get cold enough to kill you, so if something feels wrong or if it's not working you yell and I will open the door the fastest I could" I tell Scott "It's going to work" Scott said "Just in case it doesn't, because I have no idea what I'm doing" I say "I also know that you'll be able to figure it out" Scott says. Lydia starts to turn all the cold air on. Scott started to feel it very quick "Oh, okay, all right, yeah, that's cold, Really cold." he says.

     "So what are we supposed to do? Talk to him? Help him remember? Wait till he turns into a werewolf freezy pop?" Malia asked "We need to guide him. Keep him focused" Lydia says "Scott, you have to think about him. Concentrate on Stiles. Try to picture him in your head. Think about what he looks like, things he said." I say, we hear a noise from the machine "I don't like this. Something's wrong." Malia says "Give him a few seconds," I say "I'm getting him out of there" Malia say I grab her hand and look at Scott "Wait! look" I tell them.

     "Scott, can you hear me?" I say loudly Scott looks at me with his red glowing eyes, but no response. "Scott, you can't fall asleep, you have to keep your eyes open," I say "I'm trying," he says "It's not sleep. I think you're losing consciousness, and if you do that, I think we're going to lose you and I don't want that to happen so you better leave those brown eyes open, you understand okay!" I say he looks into my eyes "Scott! Stay awake! Scott!" Malia yells.

     I see Scott looking around "Scott, you just need to find him, okay," I say "Find him in your memories. It doesn't matter if it's a good memory or bad, but it must have had a big impact to both of you" I say "What's happening to him" Malia says "I don't know" I say "He doesn't look good, he looks lost" Malia says "I thinks he getting too much information at once they're all coming back all the memories, it's too much" I say "So what do we do to help him?" Malia asked I hit the window "Scott! Do you hear me? You need to focus" I yell.

     "Is he going to freeze to death in there?" Malia asked, "If his memories don't kill him." I say "There has to be another way to do this, isn't there?" Malia asks "I don't know this is my first time opening a dimensional rift in space-time. So I'm kind of fumbling around in the dark, okay?" I say and she nods "I'm getting him out" Malia says "Wait" Lydia says "What" Malia and I say turning to Lydia "Ana isn't the only one fumbling around in the dark." she says "What does that mean?" Malia asked "I think we have to treat this more like actual hypnosis. They use images to guide you through memories. Like, a stairwell. The steps take you down through one year of your life to the next. That's how they regress you back." Lydia says I nod "I get it. So he needs to imagine something. What do we tell him?" Malia asked "Scott! Can you hear me?" I say he opens his eyes, but he was covering his ears "Scott?" I say "Listen imagine this, imagine you're in the high school. Visualize yourself in the high school, in the corridor where all the lockers are. Just try to imagine standing there. That's where your memories are. They're all in the lockers, they are locked away in each one, all different, all about Stiles, find him, Scott, find Stiles." I say.
