A Hale and The Argent- Allison Argent (3)

4.7.4/4.8.1

"Girls...As all this is still very new to me, and I don't know how your Banshee power works, I still have to ask. Lydia, do you have any kind of...indication? Any kind of feeling about this? Is someone in there going to die?" I hear Noah ask Lydia. "Yes. And it's not just a feeling." Lydia tells him.

I glance down at Malia who was resting in my lap before glancing over at the other two. This was definitely bad. I lay my head back against the box, resting my eyes for a little bit. At one point I feel Malia shifting around. I glance down at her and watch her pull something out of the pocket of Stiles' jacket. It was a third of the Deadpool. The one with her name on it.

My eyes widen as she starts opening it. "Malia..." I hear Scott say across the room. I look over and see him now stood up, looking at her worriedly as she sits up to look at it. I watch as she just stares at it. "Malia?" I ask worriedly. She looks up before looking around, her breathing heavy. "I can't see. I can't see anything" She panics. Right as she starts saying that, my vision starts getting wonky as well.

"It's okay" I try to reassure the panicked Werecoyote, patting her. My vision goes out and all I see is black. I could hear movement though coming from the others. I feel Malia start moving around as I try feeling around myself. "Malia? Scott? Kira?" I call out. "Madi!" I hear Scott say. "Scott, I can't see either" I begin to panic. I hear movement from across the room over by the shelves.

"What's happening to us?" I hear Malia ask close by. I feel her hand touch my shoulder. "Scott? I can't...I can't see anything" I hear Kira panicking. I feel around and grab onto the box I had been leaning against. I use it to push myself up. I start making my way across the vault, towards where I hoped was the door. "Hey, Scott! Scotty? Madi?" I hear Stiles calling out as he banged against the entrance.

I make my way towards the sound of his voice until I feel myself pressed against it. I could hear Scott beside me. "In the vault, in there with you. It's called Reishi mushrooms" Stiles calls out as I try and feel around to get the door open for him. I try to stand up but fall back down weakly, trying to breathe. "Scott? Madi? Madi, open the door! It's in there with you. It's in a jar, it's on one of the shelves." Stiles continues to say as I feel Scott slump down beside me.

"Scott! Scott, can you hear me? Madi!" He continues to bang against the wall, screaming our names. None of could see or move. We weren't gonna make it out of this alive. I didn't even know where the Reishi mushrooms were. "Reishi..." I hear Kira whimper. "Scott, I saw it. In a jar on one of the shelves. Reishi" She whispers. I feel my hand around and grip Scott's arm. Well, at least I thought it was his arm.

"Scott...use your Alpha eyes." I breathe out. I could hear Scott struggling to stand up. "I found it" Scott says. "Go get it" I urge him. I hear him moving across the vault as I shake my head trying to find where to put my claws to get the vault open. I hear struggling and suddenly there's glass crashing to the ground and I can finally breathe. We all gasp around the vault as my vision becomes clear.

I look back at the wall and find the circle, fitting my claws in and twisting it. The wall starts opening and I fall out of the vault, catching myself with my hands before I fully hit the ground. "Stiles..." I breathe out in relief. "Thank god" He also sighs in relief. "Go check on Malia" I tell him and he does so, walking over towards Malia. I stand up, using the wall, walking towards Kira and Scott.

Scott was helping Kira up. "Great job, Superman. Saved the day, as usual" I smile, patting his shoulder. He waves me off though as I pull both of them into a hug, glad we managed to survive. I look over at Stiles and Malia. Malia was staring off into space. "Malia?" Stiles asks worriedly. He puts his hand on her shoulder but she quickly grabs it, finally looking up at him.

She moves his hand off her shoulder before standing up. She makes her way out of the vault, leaving us there as we turn to look at Stiles. She had seen her name. Stiles looks the list over before crumpling it in his hand. I motion for Scott and Kira to go before walking over to Stiles. I put my hand on his shoulder as he looks up at me. "Come on. I know your Dad's been worried sick about you. We should go see him" I tell him.

He nods as I help him stand up. He grabs his jacket and we both make our way up the stairs, after I shut the vault, where people were talking with their parents and people were having reunions. "Madi!" I hear and I'm engulfed into a big hug. I breathe in the scent and immediately know it's Allison. "I'm so glad you're okay" She tells me. "I'm fine." I asure her. I see Stiles and his Dad reuniting as well.

"Was it supernatural stuff?" She wonders, pulling away. "Yeah. It was an assassin. Almost killed us actually. If we hadn't found the Reishi mushroom down in the vault, I wouldn't be alive right now" I tell her. She bites her lip in deep thought, taking in my face which probably still had black blood and you could probably still see how sick I actually was. "Thank God you didn't die. I don't know what I would've done" Allison says and I smile at her.

"That's exactly what I thought when you were stabbed by an Oni" I tell her sadly. "Come on. We're going to my house to make sure you're okay" She tells me, grabbing my hand and leading me away. I wave goodbye to Stiles and Noah before following Allison to her car. We get in her car and she starts driving to her house. I look out the window, wondering why we were going to her house rather than somewhere else.

We both make it up to her apartment and she lets me in. "I'm totally fine, Allison. Just a little weak and tired" I asure her as she closes the door. "You said you almost died" Allison says as I take a seat on her couch. "I did" I nod. "And I almost died" She says, taking a seat beside me. "Yeah. Luckily I had my Empath power. Well...I used to" I sigh sadly.

"Well, we never know when something like that is gonna happen again" She says. "Probably soon from how much I'm worth. 1 million less than Scott" I nod. "So, I think we should start taking more chances" She tells me. "Chances?" I ask. She nods, and I begin to realize how close she actually is. Getting closer too. "Oh...you mean..." I trail off. She shyly nods her head as a smile appears on my face.

I lean forwards, cupping her face in my hands before leaning in. The kiss wasn't heated, it was more loving. It wasn't new either. But it was refreshing. Like my lips had been waiting for a specific pair and now they were finally back. I pull back and we both look at each other. "I missed you" I breathe. "I missed you too" Allison says before kissing me again.

"Is three enough?" Liam asks. "Depends on how many cameras they have. But I think so." Stiles says as we stand around Scott's dining room table, three laptops in front of Liam, Kira and Stiles and a bag in front of Scott. "Are we really doing this?" Liam asks. "We're doing it. Tonight." Scott tells us. "But isn't it kind of dangerous?" Liam brings up.

"It's incredibly dangerous. And borderline idiotic" "As well as moronic" I add. "Thank you, Madi" Stiles says and I send him a wink. "Have you guys done something like this before?" Liam wonders. "Something dangerous? Or something idiotic?" Stiles questions. "I think it's a yes to both" Kira sighs. "Actually, it's a definitely" I correct.

"You don't have to be a part of it if you don't want to." Scott tells Liam seriously. "I'm not scared." Liam says. "Then you're borderline idiotic." Stiles says, patting him on the shoulder. "And moronic" I agree. Stiles turns to look at Scott. "If we do this, we don't know what's coming for us. You know that, right?" Stiles points out.

"How do we even know something's definitely coming?" Kira asks. "Because the tape from Garrett's bag said visual confirmation required." Scott explains. "Simon said the same thing. He couldn't get paid by The Benefactor until he had proof that you guys were dead." Stiles adds. "Who's Simon?" I ask confused. "You know, that teacher that creeped you out so much. The cause of the virus at the school?" Stiles brings up.

"Ohhh...Jeepers Creepers? Yeah, I hated that guy" I nod. Scott rolls his eyes at me. "So the idea is, what if you kill someone on the dead pool, but you can't send the proof?" Scott says. "You don't get paid" Kira answers. "But how does that get us any closer to The Benefactor?" Liam questions. "He still needs to know if the target is really dead." Scott answers.

"Especially if it's someone high on the list." Stiles adds. "So, if he wants visual confirmation..." "He has to come get it himself." I finish. I pat Scott on the shoulder. "Not gonna lie. I'm incredibly terrified of what's about to happen. But, I trust you. Don't die...well...you know...fully" I tell him and he nods. "Let's do this then" I sigh.
