The Darkness: 4B

Part 7

Italics- Lydia's voices

Malia

Malia had reunited with the love of her life, feeling the emptiness fill from his presence. The pack, including Peter, all honored that he was True Alpha. With him being back, Ethan and Cora stayed alphas after everything formed into place. Scott had to disband the Summit and everyone who was a part of it had apologized for the deaths that occurred.

Scott led the ones who helped to bring him back into the Argent bunker and they waited for instructions.

"Do you know who you're looking for?" Stiles asked. "I was with them in the station so I guess I'll find them," he said. The steel door spun open and Derek came in, "Parrish said the rift is gone." "How?" Scott asked. "Maybe because the Wild Hunt isn't here. The rift probably travels with them," Stiles thought. "But Douglas was able to find it," Malia said. "Or he's being controlled," Scott said and they found it reasonable.

"I'm going in," Scott said, taking off his long sleeve. Stiles opened the chamber for him to step inside and closed it, only his face being visible. "You ready?" Stiles asked and he nodded before turning it on.

Malia could hear his faint grunts as he slammed on the glass. "Is this safe?" Felicity questioned and they all glanced at her with a maybe. They watched carefully as he calmed down with heavy breathing.

"Scott," Malia called out and he exhaled. "Set the scene." Stiles took a step forward to lean near the window to say, "You're in the Phantom Train Station. The PA system keeps crackling as you sit useless on a pew. The dim lights shine over your head and you blink slowly at the person in front of you. Who is it?"

Scott muttered uncontrollably as his eyes wandered through his subconscious, trying to paint the image he'd described. "Uh- uh- I see Laurel and Douglas with Riders," he stuttered. "But who's in front of you?" Stiles asked. "Green gas," he said, "people screaming."

She could see his head jolted back then press on the glass as his eyes flickered red. "Something's changed," he said. "I see Lydia and- and someone else." "Who?" Malia asked. "No. No. I see Thea and she keeps calling him brother." "Tommy?" Felicity asked and he stammered a no.

"Now, I'm seeing- seeing us in Lydia's mind running from her. And- and she keeps shouting a name," he said. "What name, Scott. What's their name?" Stiles asked. But just as he was about to speak, Scott snapped out the cooling trance and started banging on the wall and Stiles let him out.

Malia caught his shivering body and helped him warm up as he sat on a stool, putting on a shirt. "Do you know what you were about to say?" Derek asked. She could hear a phone buzzing a turned to see Felicity pick it up, putting it on speaker.

"I know the name," Lydia said aloud. Scott leaned towards the microphone and they both said, "Oliver Queen."

"Who's Oliver Queen?" Malia asked. "We can ask Robert Queen," Felicity said with a sigh of frustration. "How do we contact him?" Kira asked. "Purple smoke," she replied. "At the Nemeton," Derek added and they nodded, leaving the tunnels.

Oliver

Oliver gazed at the Riders who were keeping eyes on him as he stayed cross-legged next to the monitor room, waiting for something to happen.

"The train departs from Mystic Falls in thirty-six hours," Laurel said. Twelve hours later and he'd still been in the same place. Scott should've gotten through to them and he would be out.

"Hi, Ollie," Laurel spoke, crouching beside him and he looked at her. "Why are doing this?" He asked. "You asked the Void Banshee the same question and what was her answer?" She inquired, tilting her head. "You can't change one's nature," he responded.
