The Argent and A Hale-Allison Argent (2)

3.18.2

Stiles starts to call Scott again as I try and find whoever else is with us. "Hey, Stiles." I hear Scott answer. I start to use my wolf eyes to look around. There were a bunch of different things down in the basement like a furnace but it didn't seem to be working. "Did you call him? Did you call my dad?" Stiles quietly asks into the phone. "No. Just Isaac. We're coming to find you two. Can you figure out where you are? Try to find something and tell us where to look" Scott asks.

"Stiles, we're in some sort of basement" I inform him. "Madi says it's a basement. I don't know, I think...I think we're in some kind of basement." Stiles explains. "In a house?" Scott questions. "No, not a house. Like industrial" I tell him. "No. It looks bigger. Like industrial. I think there's a furnace. But it's cold. It's freezing down here. I gotta turn the...I gotta turn the phone off, Scott. It's going to die." Stiles starts to tell him.

"Wait, wait, wait. What else is there? What do you see?" Scott asks. "The phone's dying. I can't talk. I have to go. Please...just..." Stiles whispers desperately. "Stiles, why are you whispering?" Scott asks. "Because we think there's someone in here with us." Stiles whispers. Stiles hangs up his phone again. "Stiles, how are you doing over there?" I ask worriedly. "My leg hurts like hell and I'm freezing" He tells me. "Do you still have battery left?" I ask. "Barely" He shivers.

"Okay, use it for a flashlight. Check what's wrong with your leg" I tell him. He turns on his flashlight which let's me see him. He shines it down at his leg which also happened to have a bear trap on it. And it was the opposite leg than mine so that's why my other leg was hurting as bad as well. Stiles screams in pain which makes me desperately want to go over there and help him out but I was stuck. I feel tears roll down my cheeks as I listen to his painful sobs.

"Stiles, just, we-we have to stay calm" I tell him, trying to keep myself calm which wasn't working. His emotions were running off of him and on to me so it was really hard. We hear another noise come from our right and both start to look over. Stiles starts shining his light around so we could see who was here. "Who's there? We know you're there. We can hear you" Stiles calls out. It sounded like a scraping noise. He slowly flashes the light, trying to find anything. He shines the light near me and I hear something a little bit away from me.

"Shine it over there" I tell him, pointing towards where I heard the noise. He shines it over that way and we see a person crouched down, facing the wall. He had wrapping over his hands and face. I couldn't really see what he was doing to the wall though. "Who are you?" Stiles asks. He continues to scrape something against the wall, ignoring us. He slowly brings his hand down from the wall and drops something out of his hand. It was a piece of chalk. I look over at Stiles who was panting.

We turn our attention back to the wall and the person was gone. But there was something on the wall that caught my attention. I slowly reach back and touch behind my ear where the imprinted backwards five was. "Self" I mumble as I see the same symbol written on the wall. Stiles starts flashing his phone around, trying to figure out where the guy went while I continue to stare at the wall. Why was this guy writing that on the wall. Why are we here? How did we get here?

I'm taken out of my thoughts from Stiles. "Madi?" He asks. The sound of his voice automatically made me turn to him. He points back to the wall and I look over. My eyes widen as there's a sudden breeze. The chalk slowly disappears off the wall leaving nothing there. "Stiles, we have to find away to get out of here" I panic. I start sitting up and trying to unhinge the bear trap off my leg. I grunt and groan in pain as tears flow down my cheeks. I was really starting to lose it.

Stiles starts trying to get his phone to work. "It's dead" He tells me as I still try to get the bear trap off my leg. Stiles sits up to try and get it off as well. He screams in pain and I look over at him in worry. Then, there's another noise. Someone walking around. Stiles jumps in shock as I see someone walk right by us. "Who are you? What do you want with us!" I yell in agony. We hear someone start saying something in Japanese in the distance. "What?" Stiles asks.
