Chapter Ten : Life In A Cell

When I woke Aiden stood over me in a white room, he was undoing a chain that was over my head. It was a normal cell of sorts. There was a bed and a toilet, even a sink. "Looks like the doppelganger's awake." The alpha said as I sat up from the floor.

He walked out of the cell closing the bars. Ms. Morell finished a line of mountain ash, locking me in. I jumped from the floor as they walked away.

"IF I'M GONNA BE LOCKED UP BY A BUNCH OF DOGS AT LEAST THROUGH ME A BONE!" I screamed bangging on the isvisable wall that locked me in. The room started turning yellow from my constain connection to the mountain ash.

A white hot pain shot up my arms and to my head. I felt myself get dizzy. I stumbled back from the bars, falling onto the bed behind me.

As soon as I hit the mattress a vision covered my eyes. Allison, Stiles, Lydia, Lottie, Evlynn, Chloe, Isaac, and Deaton stood around the operating table in the clinic. Scott was gripping the side of the table, his knuckles turning white. "Deaton, We have no idea where Cait is." Allison said leaning over the table.

"Scott was the last one to talk to her." Lydia said. That's when I noticed a red line along her neck. I tried to get a better look at everyone. Stiles looked as if he had just been crying. Scott looked like he was fighting off tears as he gripped the table below him hard, denting it down.

"She told me she was at look out and that she was on her way to the school. No one's heard from her since."

"We still need to get my dad back from Miss Blake." Stiles said.

The scene changed. Scott and Stiles were in Derke's loft. Jenniffer Blake stood in front of Derek as Stiles and Scott walked out from behind a wall. Scott was holding a jar of some sort. "So they told you it was me?" Jennifer asked. "That I'm the one taking people?"

"We told him you're the one killing people." Scott said, Stiles still had the glint from tears in his eyes.

"Oh that's right." Miss Blake laughed, "Committing human sacrifices? What, cutting their throats? Yeah, I probably do it on my lunch hour. That way I can get back to teaching high school english the rest of the day. That makes perfect sense."

"Where's my Dad?" Stiles asked, tears slipping down his face.

"How should I know?" Jennifer turned around, "Derek, tell me you don't believe this."

Derek looks from my english teacher to Scott, "Do you know what happened to Stiles' father?"

"No." She pleaded.

"Ask her why she almost killed Lydia." Scott said, tightening his jaw.

"Lydia Martin? I don't know anything about that.

"Then what do you know?" Derek asked his girlfriend

"I know that these boys, for whatever misguided reason, are filling your head with an absurd Story. And one they can't prove by the way."

Scott held up the jar in his hand, "What if we can."

"What is that."

"My boss told me it's a poison and a cure.." Scott twisted off the lid of the jar. "Which means you can use it... and it could be used against you."

"Mistletoe?" Scott doesn't answer her, just throws the contaminants of the jar in her face, making a change from a young woman, to a scarred and damaged fragment of a soul.

My eyes opened. I was still in the cell. There was still a line of mountain ash in front of the bars. All heard was a faint sound coming from down the hall. The sound of a cane on tile floors. Decauilion came into view. He stood still for a few moments.

"Did you see anything yet my dear?"

"Why would I tell you if I did."

"Because, if you don't tell me, or you lie to me, I will tear your siblings apart. Violently. And have you watch."

I gulped down spit. "I saw Scott explaining to our friends what a true alpha is."

"Anything useful. I remind you, that you sister's could die."

"Jennifer Blake. She's your Darach." I choke out.

"Now that wasn't so hard." Slowly he walked away. Humming.

That was the most unselting part. The way he hummed. Like it was a victory. His footsteps haunted me as he walked away. The Walls seemed to calpose in on me. Ethan's words ragn clear in my head. 'We need the true alpha in this fight. We need the Doppelganger in this fight.'

I stood up from my seat on the bed. Slowly I walked over to the line of mountain ash. I put my right hand on the barrier. Soon it glowed yellow. The whole room bounced with the light. I took my left hand on the invisible wall, the yellow light grew. I watched as my veins turned the light yellow.

The room started to spin, I closed my eyes hoping it wasn't the end. The room stopped spinning. I was standing in Beacon Hills Memorial. Scott Stiles Derek and Peter stood in the room. Cora was in one of the beds. "SCOTT!" I scream but he doesn't seem to hear me. "STILES!" I tried this time.

A voice comes over the P.A. Melissa McCall's voice came through. "Um, Can I have your Attention? Mr. Deucalion- Excuse me, just Deucalion- Requests you bring the woman calling herself Jennifer Blake to the E.R Reception. Do this and everyone else can leave. You have ten minutes." Melissa's voice stops.

Scott looks at the floor. "Cait, please." I don't know who I was meant to help but he whispered the word to himself. He looks back to Jennifer.

"He's not gonna hurt her. Just like he won't hurt Cait."

"You know where Cait is too?" Stiles asked pissed.

"Shut up!" Derek yelled.

"He won't!" Jenniffer repeats. Derek looks to the floor, the the ceiling, then to Cora, then to a light. Anywhere but some's eyes. Scott's head was still pointed to the floor. "Scott, you know why. Tell them It's true. Though from the looks of things Derek knows."

"What does she mean?" Peter asked his nephew and beta.

Jeniffer Blake rolled her eyes. "Derek isn't the only one he wants in his pack." Scott and Derek look at each other. "Deucalion doesn't just want an Alpha Pack. He wants Perfection. Than means adding the rarest of Alphas to his ranks."

"A true Alpha." Peter said, more to himself than anyone else.

"What's that?" Stiles asked from the back of the room.

"The kind that doesn't have to steal his power from another. One that can rise by the force of his own will. Our little Scott." Peter explained.

"So Caitlin was right?" Derek asked, finally looking Scott in the eyes.

"It doesn't matter." Scott turned his attention from Peter to Jeniffer. "We still need to get her out of here."

"Scott your Mom. And-And now Cait--" Stiles said walking closer to Scott.

"My mom said there's one more ambulance coming in 20 minutes. I don't think we've been her that long, so if we can get down to the garage. Get to the last ambulance, we can get out of here."

"The twins Aren't gonna let us just walk out." Peter said.

"I'll distract them."

"You mean fight them, Scott." Derek said, emotions unclear.

"Whatever I have to do."

"I'll help you."

Jennifer cleared her throat. "I'm sorry, but I'm not going anywhere without you, Derek."

"I'll do it." Peter said his head high. "But i'd prefer to be out there with an Advantage."

Stiles looked at him weird. " An advantage like what? You mean like a weapon?"

"Something better than a baseball bat."

Everyone started to dig around the room looking for a weapon. Stiles held up an A.E.D, asking if it would work but Derek shot him down. Scott pulled out a needle longer than my middle finger. "Epineprine?"

"That's only gonna make them stronger."

"How strong?" Peter asked.

"Strong enough for you to match their strength." Derek said, taking the needle from Scott and sticking it into his uncle's chest. Peter walked out of the room, Scott behind him. I went to follow them but when I opened the door a white light swallowed me whole.

I woke on the floor of my cell. Ms. Morell was standing outside of the cell. "What do you want?" I asked sitting up and brushing myself off.

"Your veins turn yellow?"

"Yeah how the hell you know that?"

"The building shook, meaning you fought the mountain ash. When I got down here, you were knocked out on the floor."

"Nice to know your usual calm tone continues as you look at my unconscious body."

"How do you feel?"

"I don't know. I feel like I've been kidnapped."

"Deaculion wants you as beat. Get Scott to join the pack. But he also need you. The doppelganger. So he threatens your sisters lives. Take you without anyone knowing. Kill two birds with one stone. Give you reason to help him. Give Scott a reason to join him."

"Why does he want me? I mean I'm not very good at my job. I kinda only came here because I was tipsy so I let my friends talk me into it."

"But you, Caitlin Roads, still predict this world's future. That means you can predict his future. I want you to do something Caitlin."

"What would that be?"

"Close your eyes. Think about where Scott is now. The rain that pours over us. Over him. Place your hand on the barrier." I gulp and do as she says.

My vision blurs. When it refocuses I watch Scott stop in front of an elevator. Derek's body lay in it, knocked out, but breathing. Scott looks as if he had been stabbed. "Mom." He pushed to a door next to him.

"WAIT! SCOTT! Scott!" Stiles came running down the hallway. I took a breath and followed Scott through the door. This time no light overtook me. I heard Stiles follow us. I drifted up the stairs almost like I was a ghost. We ended up on the roof of the hospital.

"MOM!MOM!" Scott cried out.

"They're gone." Deucalion spoke in a calm tone. "Guardians, Scott. If you were with me, I could've told you what it meant. I could have warned you. Let me help you Scott. Let's help each other You help me catch her, I help you get your Mother and Caitlin back. As well as Stiles' Father." Scott was fighting tears as he took a few steps to Deucalion.

Stiles came from behind us. "Scott. Scott don't do this. Don't go with him."

"Scott you promised." I say, but I know no one could hear me.

"I don't know what else to do."

"No, There's go- Scott, there's got to be something else, okay? We always- we always have a plane B."

Scott turned to face Stiles, "Not this time."

"Scott."

"I'm gonna find your Dad. And Cait. I'll fix it. I promise." Scott taped his foot once like he was going to say something else, but he doesn't. He turns back to Deucalion, and walks towards him.

"SCOTT!" Stiles voice breaks. Scott pauses for a second. But in the end he keeps walking.

"Caitlin. Caitlin." Ms. Morell calls my name. "What did you see?"

"I saw Scott. Agreeing to help the Alphas. The Darach, Jennifer Blake, she took his mom, He claimed he didn't know what else to do."

"Get some sleep Caitlin. Try to keep your mind clear." I sit up from the floor as Ms. Moerll walks away.
