-Recap-
"Kids, get up!" Melissa drops the paddles, helping Scott to his feet, and carefully pulling me up. I can't help a shout of pain, my wound struggling to heal. "Come on."
As soon as I'm on my feet, we're running through the halls, trying to get as far from the twins as possible.
(Lyrica's P.O.V.)
"He just let me go, said it was a gesture of goodwill." Melissa pants as we run through more rooms. "No other reason."
"He had to have a reason." Scott frowns. "Right, Lyrica? I mean, he wouldn't just do it, right?"
"Most likely, Scotty." I groan, clutching my still open wound. It's taking way too long to heal. "Nobody really ever does anything without reason."
"Well, if that means I should continue to be profoundly terrified, then don't worry about it. I got that covered."
"Shit." I gasp, falling to the ground.
"Lyrica?" Scott and Melissa both call, turning to see me leaning against the wall.
"I just need a second. Keep going. I'll catch up." I brush them off, but Melissa shakes her head, dropping down to me.
"What's wrong?" She pushes and I can't help but tell her.
"My wound from the twins. It's not healing fast enough. They must've nicked a lung." I explain.
"Is there anything we can do?" Scott asks, standing beside his mother.
"Give me a second to catch my breath." I nod. "Then get me to Derek." The sound of a gun clicking alarms us.
"Stay here." Scott mutters, slowly creeping around the corner where it came from. Melissa helps me to my feet and we watch Scott. He relaxes when he rounds the corner, and Melissa helps me over to see who's there.
"Mom?!" Isaac exclaims, rushing up to me. "What happened?"
"Just taking a little longer to heal." I explain, moving off Melissa to hug Isaac. "I'll live."
Scott begins explaining the situation to the Argents and Isaac while we continue searching for Derek and Jennifer.
"So then they're essentially trapped?" Argent asks.
"Yeah, right." Scott nods.
"There's no way of getting them out without turning the power back on."
"But wait, wait, wait, if the power's back on, they're gonna hear the elevator moving, right?" Melissa joins in, standing around the metal table.
"And they'll be on Jennifer and Derek as soon as it stops." I sigh, dragging my fingers through my hair. "We can't get in a fight with them."
"You've got us now."
"It's too much to risk." I cut Argent off. "They want her dead, and if she dies, there's nothing we can do for the sheriff or Cora."
"I don't even think I know which teacher this is."
"She's-She's the one with the brown hair." Isaac explains. "She's kind of hot."
We all turn to look at Isaac, not amused.
"No, it's jus-just an observation." Isaac attempts to defend himself.
"Isaac, Sweetie?" I ask in a gentle voice. "We're gonna have a long talk when we get home."
"I've got an idea." Allison says, looking in a mirror.
