The Eclipse 🐺

Chapter Five: Death

We took a moment to process what Isaac had said, but we didn't get much of a chance as Isaac jolts up, and the candles cut out like someone blew them out all of a sudden. "I saw it! I saw the name," he states, as the he looks to Deaton, Scott and I. 

He lifts himself up from the tub, but Scott and Derek help him out, Deaton getting a towel for him to be wrapped in. Once Isaac was out, Deaton wrapped the grey towel around him, so he can warm up quicker, but what he had said before he came out of the trance, still shocked me. 

"It's, uh, Beacon Hills First National Bank. It's an abandoned bank, and they're keeping them locked inside the vault," Isaac states, but everyone remained silent as the words still played on our minds. Isaac's gaze went to all of us, as we just stood their like wet lemons. "What?" He finally asked, as water dripped from him.

"You don't remember what you said right before you came out of it, do you?" Stiles had said, as he was the one taking the lead to tell him what he had spoken.

"No," Isaac replied while shaking his hair. 

"You said when they captured you that they dragged you into a room and that there was a body in it,"

"What body?" Isaac asked, his eyes going to Deaton, but he didn't reply. 

"Erica," Stiles had said, as I cast my eyes down to the floor. "You said it was Erica," And with that said, everyone stayed quite. You don't know if it's true or not, but it did have me thinking about what I did for Derek in the summer break, when he asked if I could help find Boyd and Erica, the spell didn't work, but yet it did. Something was blocking my magic, but it still senses that Boyd was alive and if Erica is really dead then that's why the map went up in flames...

As I was lost in thought, I didn't notice everyone around me start to move and soon enough the lights in the building came back on, but the rain still poured. 

"She's not dead," Derek voice raised as he didn't want to believe it. 

"Derek, he said, 'There's a dead body. It's Erica.' Doesn't exactly leave us much room for interpretation," Stiles said, as I look at him, as I was next to Deaton. 

"Then who was in the vault with Boyd?" Derek replied. 

"Someone else, obviously,"

"Maybe it was the girl on the motorcycle. The one who saved you?" Scott had pipped up and looked to Isaac.

"No, she wasn't like us and whoever was in the vault with Boyd was," Isaac states as he knew the girl who saved him wasn't a werewolf.

"What if that's how Erica died? They pit them against each other during the full moons and see which one survives... It's like werewolf thunderdome," Stiles had said, and the thought of that made me sick to my stomach.

"Then we get them out tonight," Derek states strongly, as he wanted them out before someone else is killed.

"Be smart about this, Derek," Deaton began as he turns to look at him. "You can't just go storming in,"

"If Isaac got in, then so can we," Derek replied, knowing that if one person got in, so can we.

"But he didn't get through a vault door, did he?" Deaton sounded smart-ass about it but he was right. 

"We need a plan," Scott had announced, looking to all of us. 

"Alice, what about you? You have magic can't you get us in?" Derek asked, his eyes on me as everyone was, but Derek look more pleading. 

"Remember that spell I did for you in the summer," I began as he nodded his head. "If the vault is protected, then I don't think my magic would work on it," I gave him a sad as I cross my arms over my chest, to feel the wet patch that was there. I sighed and started to remove my top, pulling it over my head. I could feel everyone eyes go to my body as I was half-way through pulling it off, so there was no point in stopping now.
