Chapter 11: We Don't Know What To Do

First Person POV~Scott McCall

I stood still. Ethan was telling me to follow him, but my legs wouldn't move. "Scott. You have to see this. At least if you're part of the pack."

"It's a mutual relationship. Right now, my pack is under attack."

"Even more of a reason it come."

I take a breath and walk into the building. It was some old police station, but it was still polished marble floors. I walk down the halls behind Ethan, everything in me tells me to go back. Run back. Leave, we always find another way. But I still walked forward. "Scott, Ethan, glade you could join us." Deucalion's voice comes from the front of the room. "Morella, be a dear and bring me the doppelganger." Ms. Moerll nods her head and walks down the hall next to Aiden. "Scott, do you know the story of the doppelganger?"

"Uhh not well. I seem to recall it involving the muitl-veres." I say, my throat dry.

"That's part of it, yes. The doppelganger is part of a family across the whole muitl-veres. The family's job is to protect the worlds around them."

"Isn't this a little Game of Thrones esc?" I knew that voice. That was the voice of one of my best friends.

"Caitlin Roads. It's nice to see you. Scott I'm sure you know the doppelganger." Deucalion said, stepping off the stair he was standing on. Caitlin gave me no more than a passing glance.

"You kidnapped me." Cait said, her head held high.

"I am sorry about that. But I asked you here for a different reason. As you can know, the lunar eclipse is in two days, Jennifer is making her plans for then. I want you to see if anyone dies."

"Anyone, anyone? Or just your pack?"

"Just the pack will do."

Ms. More lets go of Caitlin's arm. Cait closes her eyes. For a few seconds nothing happened. Soon a wind picked up, moving through the room. Caitlin's hair brushed over her face as the wind got heavier. The flannel I was wearing blew around in the small wind storm Cait was creating.

She opens her eyes. All winds stop. "Aiden." That was all she said. Deucalion waved his hand and Ms. Morell grabbed Caitlins arm and brought her back to wherever they were keeping her.

Third Person POV

Lorrie Holmes and Stiles Stilinski walked down the halls of Beacon Hills Highschool. "I don't believe it. Scott can't really be with them. He can't be." The Girl said as she sat on the cold floor.

"Lottie, you didn't see the look on his face, though. It was-"

"What can I do. I mean, First Cait, then your dad, and now Melissa McCall. Stiles I need to help otherwise I'm gonna go insane. And I know I'm just human, but so are you."

"You can help me find Lydia." Lottie nodded as she got off the floor.

Four minutes later the three teens stood outside of Lydia's APUSH class. "Stiles, Lottie I get that I'm so sort of like, human geiger counter for death, but.. I don't know who to turn it on and off yet. All I know is that she tried to kill me because of-"

"Because of what?" Lottie asked her friend.

"Lydia what?" Stiles pressed.

"When she called me a banshee, she was surprised by it. What if that's not why she tried to kill me?"

"Then why did she try to kill you?" The Holmes asked as she leaned on a set of lockers.

"That's what we need to find out."

Half an hour later Lottie had Lydia's phone as her and Stiles walked through the halls. "Aiden isn't texting bake." The girl said as they round a corner. Stiles' phone rang from his pocket. He paused when he saw the text. "Stiles?" Lottie took a step to her friend, "Oh god. What is it now?"

"It's from Isaac. Jennifer, she t- She had Allison's father. She took him. She's got all three now." His voice cracks.

"There's Still time." Stiles' body begins to shake. "We still have time right." The boy's vision blurs. The Stilinski starts to gasp for air. "Stiles? Are you okay?" He holds up his hand but starts to fall over. "STILES! What is it? What's wrong? Stiles?"

"I think I'm having a panic Attack." The boy was still gasping for air. Lottie grabbed his hand and pulled him into the boys locker room. Stiles started to fumble around the room as Lottie pulled him to the floor. Stiles falls into one of the stand alone lockers.

"Just try and think about something else, anything else."

Stiles was still gasping on the floor. "Like what, Lottie?"

"Anything else, Uhh happy things. Good things. Friends, Family." Stiles gives her a crazed look. "Oh, I mean not family. Oh god. Okay just uhh focus on my voice. Stiles?" His breaths get heavy. "Try and slow your breathing."

"I can't. I can't."

Lottie grabs both sides of Stiles face. "Don't hate me for this." She smashes her lips to his. Lottie moved so she was above him. She felt Stiles hold his breath. Slowly he kissed her back, but she wasn't sure if that was only because he didn't know what else to do. After a moment of bliss, their lips disconnect.

Stiles slowly pulls back. "Ooh. How'd you do that?"

"I uhh- Lydia told me once that holding your breath could stop a panic Attack. So when I kissed you- you uh, you held your breath."

"I did?"

"Yeah. You did."

First Person POV~Caitlin Roads/Holmes

I heard footsteps from down the hall. My breath shortened at the thought of it being Scott. He promised he wouldn't help them, and now he is. I don't know how he was even here, Scot's not an alpha yet. But when I looked up from the ball I placed myself in Aiden stands before my cell. "What do you want?"

"You said I die. I've been taught to listen to the visions of the doppelganger. Tell me."

I close my eyes, the images from earlier covering my vision. Aiden on the ground, black blood spilling from his mouth. An oui had stabbed him through the gut. Ethan stood over him crying. "You get stabbed. But it's not for at least five months. The thing that stabs you, I've never seen it. You die saving your brother. Helping Scott, helping Stiles. Aiden you may live the villain. But you die a hero."

"Thank you." I smile a bit as he walks away.

I lean back looking at the cling. That was the first time I noticed a five fold knot above me. At least that's what I thought I saw, but when I blinked the symbol was gone. I reached my hand into the air, snapping my fingers. In a millisecond two rings burned on the ceiling. One thicker ring on the outside, one thinner ring inside the first. The flames dispar and the scorch makes stay. The McCall pack sign blackened on the ceiling.

"Cait." A voice says from the outside of the cell. "Cait, please look at me."

"Scott, I thought you said you would never help them." My eyes stay on the ceiling. "So what was too good to refuse?"

"You." This made me turn my head. "Jennifer has my mom. And Stiles' father. And we didn't know where you were. Deucalion promised he could bring you back. Bring them back." At this I stand and walk over to him.

"Scott..."

"I know what I said, Cait. But it's not like you've been the most honest. Miss Doppelganger."

"I'll tell you everything. After we win. We have to stop Jeniffer."

"I wish I could stay, but no soft spots in this psycho pack." He wipes away a single tear.

"Are you calling me a soft spot?" I ask, whispering. He just smiles and nods.

"I promise I'll get you out of here Cait. And that one I'll keep."

I smile a few tears falling down my face. I don't know why I was crying, but it was so nice to hear his voice, talking to me. And not cracking from the fear of losing his Mother. I turn back around.

"You may want to get on the bed." Aiden said from behind me.

I turn again. He was holding a garden hose. His face was placed in a smirk. "What?"

"I said you may want to get on the bed."

"Why?"

"You said I die a hero?"

"Yeah..."

"I want to live a hero too. That starts here. Now get on the bed."

"What are you gonna do?"

"I'm gonna flood the mountain ash away. Then I'm gonna let you go." I do as he tells me, taking a seat on the bed. Aiden starts to feed the hose through the bars of the cell. Aiden walks a few paces away from where I could see, but soon water starts to come into the cell. After a minute or so an inch of water sits on the bottom of the cell. I watch as it starts to break the mountain ash apart. The black sand dispersing around the room. Aiden turns off the water. "Okay you should be good." I take a breath and stand off the bed. When I reach where the mountain ash line was, I feel crazy. I never heard of this working, but as I got closer there was no invisible wall. Aiden comes back into view and bends the bars open.

I step out of the cell. "Where are we?"

"Just outside of town."

"Thank you. And this is payback." I cup the left side of Aidens head and bang it onto the bars. His body crumbles to the ground. I check his pulse. Still beating steady. I run down the way Ms. Morell brought me this morning. When I get to the meeting room, I notice a second hallway, with an exit sign above it. I start to sprint down the hall. The sun was setting above me.

I pushed the doors open when I got the chance to breathe in air not from a cell. I took four breaths right outside of the door. Then I picked up pace again. I run towards the wood. Stilling wearing my clothes from two nights before. When I got back out the other side, I was right where I wanted to be. The sky had turned dark, but I pushed open the door that said closed.

"I'm sorry but we're closed." Deaton said from the back room.

I panted, "I-" Pant. "Just ran." Pant, "Ten and half miles. You are NOT." pant. "Closed for me."

Lottie came running from the back, Stiles and the twins close behind. Lottie took one look at me and gasped. I started giggling at the sight of my sister. She soon was doing the same as she ran to me, wrapping her arms around me in a bone crushing hug. "You're okay. You're okay" She whispered as I returned the gesture.

"Well I mean I've been better, but yeah I'm okay." Lottie lets go still giggling. She steps back and wipes a tear from her eye. Stiles takes a step forward. At first the only thing on his face was shock but it soon became a toothy grin.

"Caity?" I nod smiling as well. The twins break the small moment, running to me the same as Lottie.

After each of them hugs me Chloe slaps my chest. "Jesus what was that for?"

"That's for scaring the living hell out of us." Chloe said, pulling me back into a hug, "That's for being okay."

When I let go of Chloe I finally noticed Allison and Lydia, smiling tears in their eyes. I turn to face Isaac. "Come here." He breathed out pulling me into a hug as well. "Cait you scared the crap out of me." He whispered in my ear.

I let go and turn to Stiles. He also had tears in his eyes. Before I could say anything witty he pulls me in. His arm moves around my waist the other behind my head, holding me against him. Soon I hug back. "Caitlin, it's so good to see you."

"It's good to see you too." I pull back and Smile.

"Cait?" Allison asked coming closer to me. "What happened?"

"Well uhh. I was at look out. Alone. Scott called me telling me to meet him at the riedle. But when I got up from where I was sitting Ethan was standing in front of me. Next thing I knew I woke up in an old abandoned police holding cell."

"So the alphas took you?" Lydia asked.

"Yeah. Deucalion wanted to use my vision for his benefit. And Also use me as a tool to get to Scott."

"How'd you get out?" Isaac asked.

"You're not gonna believe this. But Aiden."

"Wh-what?" Lottie asked moving to stand next to me.

"Uhh one of the visions predicted his death. He made me a deal" White lies never hurt. "I told him how he died, he let me go"

"I'm very glad you're okay, Caitlin." Deaton said moving to open the gate to the back for me.

"Give me what you got. We have more people to save."

"Caitlin you just got back from captivity." Stiles said walking by me.

"And I'm alive. Now let's save other people."

Isaac sighed, "We're not gonna win this fight are we."

"Not a chance."

"Okay, Cait look at this." Stiles brought us over to a map. "It has to be on a telluric current, or maybe even at the axis of two. Or even where they all intersect."

"What are we looking for?" I asked, tracing my hands over the map.

"The nemeton. It's where Derek took Pagie to die." Stiles answered.

"My dad and Gerard were there once." Allison said leaning over the map. "But Gerard said it was years ago. And He couldn't remember where it was. My Dad Obviously isn't hee to tell us now."

"Yeah mine either." Stiles and Allison both trail off.

"Then how the hell do we find this place?" Evlynn asked, slipping her hand in mine and giving it a squeeze before letting go.

"There might be a way." Deaton said from the doorway. "But it's Dangerous. We're gonna need Scott. Caitlin, you remember what we did to recover Isaac's memory of the bank?"

"Yeah."

"I need you to set up three tubs just like that. Stiles the two of us need to find Scott." Deaton finished.

Stiles and Deaton leave the room. "Okay you heard the man. Isaac, Lydia get me three tubs. Allison, go home, get something meaningful to your father. Chlo, Lynnie get me a shit tone of Ice. Lottie, you're with me. We need to get a hose in here."

My feet pick up as I walk out of the clinic to the back where a garden hose is. I drag the hose into the building. By Now Isaac has moved the table and two tubs are in the center of the back room. I place the hose in one. "OKAY LOTTIE YOU CAN TURN THE WATER ON!" I scream to the girl Still outside. I hold the hose begging the water to come out faster. Soon it does. When One tub gets full I move the hose to the next. The rest of the Holmes are back filling the one full tub with the needed amount of ice. The next tub becomes full. I hear the door to Stiles jeep close. "Lydia, watch the water." I stand from where I was on the floor.

I walk to the front of the building just as Scott walks in. "Cait?" He asked in disbelief. I walked over to him. For 12 seconds (I counted) No one did anything. Then in the blink of an eye, I slap Scott across the face. "Ow! But fair I- I deserve that."

"Damn how am I meant to be mad at you?" I whisper as I pull Scott into a hug.

He places his head in the crock of my neck, "I guess you have a soft spot for me too."

"Come on. We still have more ice to do."

Stiles, Deaton Scott and I walk back to where everyone else is. Isaac and Lottie were pouring ice into the second bin, the twins were opening more bags of ice. And Lydia was on the floor making sure the water in the last tub didn't get too high. Deaton walks over to a set of viles in the corner of the room and picks up one with mistletoe in it. He starts to sprinkle the leaves into the two full tubs. "LOTTIE YOU CAN TURN THE WATER OFF!" Lydia yells standing from the floor and bringing the hose out of the room. The twins start to pour the bags of ice into the last bin.

Scott grabs my hand, "Hey you okay. You just kinda froze?"

"Yeah. I'm great." I say smiling. I walk over to help the twins pour in the last bits of ice.

"All right. What did you bring?" Deaton asked the three people who would partake in the sacrifice.

"Um. I got my Dad's badge." Sitles said, rubbing the metal. "Jennifer kind of crushed it in her hand, so I tried hammering it out a bit. Still doesn't look great."

"It doesn't need to look good if it has meaning."

Isaac looks at the bullet in Allison's hand, "Is that an actual Silver bullet?"

"My Dad made it. It's kind of a ceremonial thing. When one of us finishes learning all the things to be a hunter, we forge a Silver bullet as a testament to the code."

"Scott?"

Scott opened his left hand. "My dad got my mom this watch when she first got hired at the hospital. She used to say it was the only thing in their marriage that ever worked." Part of me wanted to laugh, but I knew it would be wrong.

"Okay, the three of you will get in. Someone will hold you down until you're essentially... well dead." Deaton paused. "But it's not just someone to hold you under. It needs to be someone who can pull you back, someone that has a strong connection to you, A kind of emotional Tether. Caitlin.. You go with Scott. Lottie, with Stiles, and Lydia with Allison." I turn my head over my shoulder to look at Scott. We both just smile. "Everybody ready?" I take a breath in, feeling my heartbeat from my temples.

Scott, Stiles, and Allison start stripping their outer layers so the only thing they are wearing is a shirt and pants. The three of them step into the tubs. Stiles and Allison were shaking, and by the way Scott was standing it was taking everything inside of him not to. Allison exhales as her foot hits the water. Scott looks back at me. I smile, my lips tucked in. He grabs the side of the tub lowing his body to the floor. All three of the shiver. Stiles turns his head to Scott, "By the way.. Uhh If I don't make it back and you do, you should probably know something. Your Dad's in town."

Scott looks back at the wall in front of him. Like the knowledge of his Dad being back just broke his shoulders while he was holding up the world. I tried not to think about that, as I shed my coat. "You ready to do this?" I asked, placing my hands on Scott's shoulders.

"I don't know."

"Just come back to me okay?" This time I whisper. All Scott did was nod. Scott opens his mouth letting in one last breath as I push his body under the water. My hands shake as he starts to fight. Allison does the same to Lydia but Stiles said still. After a few seconds Scott stops. He opened his eyes, they started gold, but when my hands stopped shaking, they went completely red. Then as all three of them went still, they became gold once more.
