Allison Argent Again

Chapter 25

I step down the first step.
"I'm warning you! Stay away!" She shouts.
The 2nd step.
"I have an arrow loaded!!" She is screaming now.
I remember a friend of mine teaching me how to catch an arrow, his name was Peter but that's another story. I remember him setting up something to make the arrow come at me in slow motion. He always stopped it right before it hit his chest. It's very risky but with the right mindset and good concentration you can do anything. I step down the 4th step and I see her. I keep my focus on the arrow and where she is aiming.
"If you get any closer I'll shoot you." She says.
"Allison." I say putting my hands in front of me, "This isn't you."
"Right, I'm the better me. I'm finally seeing clearly." She smiles, "I'm finally free from everything, it's like something was holding me back but now, now I'm free!" She says really emphasizing the 'R' in free.
"No your not. Allison, I don't know how to do this, or even what I'm doing, and I don't know you but I know this isn't it. This isn't you, you need to wake up."
"I'm wide awake." She says angrily. I take a deep breath and remember how to catch an arrow. I focus my eyes on her arrow and prepare my left hand to catch what's coming to my face and right to the chest. I had never tried catching an arrow coming at full speed and I am most likely to miss but if I'm going to be a hero I need to try. I need to try to catch the arrow or get hit. It wasn't a smart idea and I knew it but I have to save my friends, I have to save Liam. I think about how Peter taught me that if I had the chance to run I run but if I'm cornered or have no place to go I catch. In this case, I wasn't cornered but it was stubbornness that kept me from running. The attitude that is going to save them. I try to reason with her once more, "Allison please, I know your in there somewhere. Break free, escape this shadow holding you hostage." I say lightly in style of the one direction song that had been stuck in my head. She pulls her head back as if she could see something through the curse. It's like she's understanding. Allison argent was coming back! But piece by piece like a puzzle, I put one of the pieces together.
I take a step forward and she prepares her arrow, "(Y/N) run!" She says through the curse as she aims.
"NO!"
"You have to or I'll shoot you!!" She seems very worried and was clearly panicking.
"I HAVE TO!!" I scream back.
"(Y/N)!" Scott started running down the stair case.
She shoots and I grab the end of the arrow. "I did it!" I whisper then, I look down and see the arrow planted in my chest with a red ring around it.
