Our New Found Hope

Nine: Aftermath

Melissa pulls into the parking lot of the high school closely followed by Klaus and Hayley and runs to the police tape sectioned around the front doors to the school. News reporters, worried parents, and bystanders all surround the tape. Melissa looks to her left and sees Lydia and Derek talking to Sherif Stilinski. Her and her daughters family run up to them.

"What the hell is happening? Where are they? Is everyone still in the school?"

"We can't go in. We have to wait for experts to get here. No one is allowed in or out." The sheriff stated.

"It's vervain. And wolfsbane. Who ever had that list is making a move." Hayley tells them.

"Which means they are all probably shifting and exposing themselves. They would have gone somewhere safe to sit out." Derek explained.

Rafael walks over to the group. "I'm going in. They are in there. Whatever this is they aren't safe."

Noah stops the agent. "You can't do that my kids in there too. But we can't go in." He turn to the supernaturals, "any chance you guys can contact them somehow? Or find them if they moved?"

The witches looked at each other and shook their heads, "Hope is cloaked. We could try someone else if you have one of their belongings?"

"If someone is close to dying I could probably feel it," Lydia told them. Just then, Melissa's phone rings once again.

"Please" Hope begged.

"Okay, okay." Stiles gave in settling back down next to Hope. She rested her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes. "They'll find us. Hopefully."

Scott's eyes continued to change from his normal dark brown to alpha red. Malias hands stayed as claws. Isaac skin was burning and hair was growing on his jaw. Kira sat in a corner away from the rest of them as to not shock anyone. Hopes breathing was shallow, welts grew on her arms, and her stab wound continued to ooze. Stiles was light headed but doing the best out of his friends. He sat there trying to come up with backup plans for backup plans incase his friends needed them.

"Hello?" Melissa asks to the unknown person on the other line.

"Melissa McCall? It's Mr. Yukimura Kiras father."

Melissa puts the phone on speaker and replies, "yes! Are you in the school? Are Scott and Hope with you? And Stiles and Isaac?"

"They went to the Hale vault. All of them. Scott, Hope, Isaac, Stiles, Kira, and Malia. The gas was taking its effects on them. They weren't doing well. They had to go to protect themselves and the other students. Hope said Derek would know another way in. I have to go." The line goes dead.

All eyes turn to the Hale wolf. He nods and Stilinski goes to order the other officers before turning and allowing Derek to lead to way.

They get to the entrance of the old vault and begin to walk towards the door. "There is vervain and wild and in the air. We need to get in there fast. I can hear the heartbeat slowing down."

Derek quickly in leashes his claws and follows the pattern to open the vault. The poisonous supernatural gas leaks out as the they step in preparing to save the group of teens. What they see is something they weren't prepared for. On the floor spread around the room were six bodies, all on the verge of or unconscious. Stiles, who was barely holding himself and Hope up, moved his eyes toward the newcomers.

"Dad..." he drags on. "They aren't doing good. You gotta get us to Deaton. He can help them." And then he too succumbs unconsciousness.

Through the burning of the air, the adults rush is and each grab a teenager to carry to safety. Derek reaches his girlfriend first, much to the dismay of Klaus and Hayley, and cradles her against his chest moving quickly to the door. Once far enough away from the vault they lay the teenagers on the ground and discuss the plan.

A/N- this is soo bad. I had a wicked hard time writing this and I just started my summer job back up and I have a lot of shifts. Just wanted to get this up for you guys even though it's so short and choppy. Thank you so much for the 1k reads! Hope to get rid of the writers block and get a good chapter out soon!
