5) Radio silence
"Excuse me" Stiles said to the woman beside him causing her to look. "Sorry where are we" Stiles asked. "We're at the train station" she said.
"Right, okay, helpful" Stiles said. "Which train station exactly" Stiles asked. "Train station number 137" she said causing Stiles to look. "Did you see me come in" Stiles asked. "No" she said.
"How long have you been here" Stiles asked. "Maybe an hour" she said.
"We got here at the same time it's been at least six hours" the older man beside the woman said.
"Six hours" Stiles asked, and the man nodded. "Where are you going" Stiles asked and neither the man or woman had an answer, and the woman searched her pockets.
"Uh, uh I had a ticket with me somewhere uh" the woman said. "You always travel in your work clothes" Stiles asked causing the woman to look.
"I must've been in a rush" the woman said. Stiles got up and looked at the ticket booth only to see no one there. He saw dust surrounding it as he looked.
"Do you know if anyone works here" Stiles asked. "The following stops have been canceled Hollatine, Batten, Bay Burry, Deer Ridge, Red Oak" the announcer said listing off places.
"Excuse me where are those trains going" Stiles asked and got no answer.
"Trenton, Anderson, King Springs" the announcer said listing off the last of the places.
"Excuse me do you know what train this is" Stiles asked a woman and got no answer.
"Does anyone know where this train is going" Stiles asked. "Excuse me do you know what train this is" Stiles asked a woman and got no answer.
"Does anyone know where this train's going" Stiles asked. They all surrounded the tunnel and once everyone heard the horses, they all ran and screamed.
Stiles didn't move an inch but saw a man got whipped. Stiles saw the ghost rider drop people off their horse onto the ground and he saw the ropes they had on disappeared.
Stiles started backing up and when he thought he was about to get hit with a whip when someone moved him out of the way.
Once Stiles looked that person revealed to be Peter Hale. "It had to be you" Peter said.
Once the ghost riders left everyone sat back down except for Stiles and Peter.
"Peter, Peter what are you doing here how are you here" Stiles asked. "What do you mean how am I here" Peter asked.
"I'm here you are here we are all here now get the heck away from me Stiles" Peter said and sat down.
"Hey Peter, Peter, Peter what are you doing" Stiles asked once he got his attention. "I'm waiting for my train" Peter said. "Okay did you not just see that" Stiles asked.
"See what" Peter asked. "The horses the hogtied businessmen with the magically dissolving ropes" Stiles asked.
"I'm sorry did anyone just see that" Stiles yelled getting no answer. "Do you mind" Peter asked.
"You're blocking the board" Peter said and Stiles looked. "I'd like a little warning before my train arrives" Peter said. "Okay so you're waiting for a train how did you get here" Stiles asked.
"Pretty sure I took a cab" Peter said. "Last time I saw you, you were being locked away in Eichen House" Stiles said causing Peter to remember what happened.
"I was in Eichen thanks to you" Peter said. "Memory's good can you remember how you uh got out they discharge you" Stiles asked.
"No, the power went out and I ran like crazy" Peter said. "That's it you just ran" Stiles asked.
"Yes, that's it I literally just ran away from the insane asylum that was holding me hostage" Peter said and stood up while Stiles took a seat and Peter looked around.
"How long have I been here" Peter asked. "The lockdown was three months ago" Stiles said.
"I've been missing for three months, and no one came for me" Peter asked. "That's what the ghost riders do they erase you" Stiles said. "Ghost riders, ghost riders of the wild hunt" Peter asked.
"Yeah" Stiles said. "You know what I'm talking about" Stiles asked and Peter sat down.
"Of course, I know what you're talking about they ride the lightning they are an unstoppable force of nature, but I promise you they don't make pit stops in train stations I've escaped one prison only to land in another one and this looks like the underground lair of a depressed bureaucrat" Peter said.
"Come on there's gotta be a way out of this place right have you tried looking around have you talked to anyone who knows anything" Stiles asked.
"If this is the wild hunt there is no escape you and I are doomed to ride the storm forever" Peter said.
"Yeah, we're not in the storm we're in a train station" Stiles said and stood up. "But we can get out of a train station" Stiles said.
"We can't get out of here Stiles because this place isn't real" Peter said. "What are you talking about" Stiles asked. "Beacon Hills doesn't have a train station" Peter said.
>>>
Stiles went to the doors that had a chain on them and tried to open them and Peter followed him taking a seat. "What are you doing" Peter asked.
"Little help please" Stiles said. Peter got up and easily ripped off the chains. "Okay" Stiles said and went inside only to be back in the same room from across the hall.
Confused Stiles tried it again only for the same thing to happen. Stiles went to try again when Peter stopped him.
"No, no, no keep going" Peter said. "I don't see you coming up with anything" Stiles said.
"Stiles left shoulder against the pillar don't look" Peter said and Stiles looked. "I said don't look" Peter said once Stiles faced him. "Yeah" Stiles said.
"He's watching us" Peter said. "Yeah so" Stiles said.
"So, every person in this station is either comatose or catatonic he seems very interested in keeping an eye on us" Peter said and Stiles went to him.
"Hey" Stiles said and when the boy tried to escape Peter stood in front of him. "Oh my god" Stiles said once he saw Peter. "Why are you watching us" Peter asked.
"You tried the doors nobody ever tries the doors" Trent said. "Sounds like you have" Stiles said.
"The ones that I could open I've tried everything else" Trent said. "Not everything you're still here" Peter said.
"Yeah, it seems like you got some kind, of a plan so why don't you tell us about it" Stiles said.
"I can tell you doesn't mean you can do it" Trent said and Stiles laughed. "Oh we, we can do it he can, he can" Stiles said. "Well, it's right in front of your face" Trent said and motioned to the tunnel.
"You didn't see it did you" Trent asked. "I saw it" Stiles said. "Then why'd you waste so much time running through the doors" Trent asked.
"I'll tell you why because it's all part of the illusion you're afraid and they want you to be afraid" Trent said.
"I'm not afraid" Peter said going to the entrance of the tunnels with Trent and Stiles. "Can't do it can you he can't do it" Trent said. "We really should kill him" Peter said.
"Or you can just walk through it" Stiles said. "Push me" Peter said lowly. "What did you say" Stiles asked.
"Push me" Peter said and Stiles pushed Peter in the tunnel. "Now you're getting it" Trent said and went in the tunnel. "Stiles, Stiles lets go" Peter said.
Suddenly Peter grabbed Stiles pulling him inside the tunnel.
>>>
"You think we'll get everyone out" Avery asked Scott. "Yeah, I mean come on it's us" Scott said and Avery smiled.
"Something wrong" Scott asked. "No just wish we could have a break from time to time you know" Avery said
"Yeah, I know hey is that necklace new" Scott asked noticing Avery's necklace. "Yeah, Derek got it for me for our anniversary" Avery said.
"It suits you" Scott said and Avery smiled. "Thanks bro" Avery said.
>>>
They all walked inside the tunnel. "Congratulations you found another part of the phantom train station" Peter said.
"Is this the way out" Stiles asked. "If it was, we would be leaving" Peter said. "You might want to stay off the tracks cause that's the way in and out" Trent said looking ahead.
"They're coming" Trent said and jumped up along with Stiles and Peter and hid. Suddenly the ghost riders appeared and went through.
"That's the way out how are we supposed to do that" Peter asked. "We jump" Trent said. "Jump" Peter asked. "On the back of the riders as they go through" Trent said. "Is that all" Peter asked.
"I've been timing it look we can jump from here just before they go out" Trent said.
"I think you're confusing your pronouns we aren't going to do anything, but you should absolutely give that a shot" Peter said.
"Do you not wanna get out of here" Trent asked. "We want to be out alive okay how do you know this works" Stiles asked. "Seems like a lot could go wrong" Stiles said.
"Look I can't stay here I'm losing my mind in this place" Trent said. "I think you have an excellent grasp of the situation I say go for it" Peter said.
"Peter" Stiles said. "Hey, they're coming back" Trent said and they all hid again. "No, we can't let him do this right" Stiles asked Peter. "What if he's right" Peter asked back.
"Hey, we'll figure something else out hey look there's gotta be another way out of this place" Stiles told Trent.
"But there isn't I've been looking for months" Trent said. "Are you coming or not" Trent asked.
"It's all you" Peter said. Stiles went to stop him when Peter pulled him back. "Let him try" Peter said.
Trent jumped onto the horse sitting behind the ghost rider. The ghost riders went through but Trent didn't as he fell off and disappeared.
"Somehow I don't think that went the way that he was hoping" Peter said. "Stiles he's dead" Peter said once Stiles jumped down. "You see his face" Peter asked. "Trust me he's gone" Peter said.
"You knew he'd die" Stiles said. "I didn't know I mean I assumed" Peter said. "Yeah, but you could have warned him" Stiles said facing Peter.
"He was gonna do it anyway now we know" Peter said. "Know what" Stiles asked.
"That we're stuck" Peter said jumping down. "It's over we are trapped because that was our only way out" Peter said. "Or that's just what they want us to believe" Stiles said.
"What, what is it with you teenagers you think that you're so special you think the rules don't apply to you do you get it" Peter asked.
"We are dead and buried" Peter said and took Stiles's wallet and emptied it. "Money it's worthless, driver's license, credit cards" Peter said.
"Give me my wallet back" Stiles said taking it back. "It's all meaningless" Peter said and took Stiles's keys. "Keys" Peter said.
"Give me my keys" Stiles said and Peter tossed them.
"What did you think you were gonna drive us out of here is that what you thought do you get it" Peter asked. "We don't exist, and we are already forgotten" Peter said.
"Somebody's gonna remember me either Lydia or Scott, Malia, Avery, Derek, someone they're gonna find me alright they'll come for me" Stiles said.
"Who would ever come for you" Stiles asked. "You give me a call when your high school sweethearts conjure up a plan to get out of here" Peter said.
Stiles and Peter went in the other room and the older woman turned to face Stiles. "I'm waiting for a train" she said. "Yeah, it's probably running late" Stiles said.
"I'm going to see my grandchildren" she said. "Who are you going to see" she asked. "Uh no one" Stiles said.
"The following stops have been canceled" the announcer said and listed off the stops.
Stiles got up and looked at the speaker seeing where it led to. "Intercom maybe a radio" Peter said and they went in the room where the intercom was connected to.
"Your theory is ridiculous magnetic disturbances, and a few pixelated photos doesn't mean that you can use a hammer radio to communicate across a supernatural barrier ghost riders can't be seen heard or remembered" Peter said.
"You really think they're gonna leave a gadget around that you can use to call your friends" Peter asked turning the radio up.
>>>
Scott walked out of the classroom causing Malia and Avery to run to him. "There you are" Malia said. "You heard it too" Scott asked. "We both did" Avery said.
"Where's it coming from" Malia asked. "This way" Scott said and led them outside where they saw Lydia at the jeep.
They all ran to her catching up to her. "Lyds" Avery said. "It's coming from inside" Lydia said.
"Scott tried to get in only he couldn't. "Did somebody lock the keys inside" Malia asked.
"Break it" Lydia said. Scott broke the door and opened it. "Now what" Avery asked.
>>>
"Take your time no rush only thing at stake is any evidence of our existence soon to be lost forever" Peter said.
"Okay not helping" Stiles said and Peter heard the horses and quickly undid the radio and grabbed Stiles going into the hall hiding with him.
"In case you're keeping count that's twice I saved your life today" Peter said leaving and Stiles followed him.
>>>
Scott, Malia, Lydia, and Avery were trying to figure out where the noise was coming from when suddenly the noise stopped. "Why'd it, stop" Malia asked.
"It doesn't matter" Lydia said trying to get it to work again. "There has to be a reason" Lydia said and Scott smelt something.
"What is it bro" Avery asked seeing his expression causing Lydia and Malia to look. "You caught a scent" Lydia asked. "Yeah uh, ours, mine, yours all four of us" Scott said.
"Mine I've never been in this jeep before" Malia said. "Neither have I" Scott said. "Yes, we have we just don't remember it" Lydia said.
"I thought we were done with that" Malia said. "Guys" Avery said.
"Uh yeah Lydia, Parrish checked the VIN number there's no record of owner" Scott said.
"The jeep didn't just drive itself here" Lydia said. "She has a point now come on" Avery said.
"Whose side are you on" Malia asked Scott. "I'm on everyone's side" Scott said. "He's not real trust me" Malia said as Lydia kept looking.
"I've lost a lot of people in my life it's a long list and I don't feel like adding to it" Malia said when Lydia grabbed something. "You might not have to not if we get him back" Lydia said showing the registration.
Avery took it looking at it before giving it to Scott. "This is from 96 and there's no name" Scott said.
"There's an address" Avery said pointing to it. "129 Woodbine Lane" Avery said. "I know that address" Lydia said.
>>>
Lydia parked the car that night after arriving to the school. Scott was trying to keep the guy from taking the jeep. "We already paid you I gave you all of my money for that drop fee" Scott said.
"Yeah, and I dropped it alright now I'm picking it up again" the man said when Lydia made her way over.
"How much" Lydia asked. "I'll write you a check" Lydia said.
"It's not about how much they want it out of here okay it's not up to me" the guy said going to the jeep when Scott stood in front of him.
"Don't make me move you kid okay I'm hooking this thing up and I am towing it away" he said.
Scott made a fist as Lydia saw. The man heard a noise and turned around seeing Avery break a part off his truck before giving it to him. "Your truck's broke" Malia said and smiled.
>>>
Peter and Stiles heard the ghost riders coming once again and hid behind the benches.
The ghost rider dropped a lacrosse player and her ropes disappeared. "This place is really starting to fill up" Peter said. Once the lacrosse player took off her helmet Stiles recognized her.
"Gwen, Gwen" Phoebe said before hugging her. "Phoebe oh my god you're here" Gwen said.
The ghost riders shot a gun causing the sisters to sit down. "Wait a second that girl I know that girl her name is Gwen she plays lacrosse" Stiles said.
"How long has this been going on" Stiles asked and Peter looked at the board realizing. "This isn't a train station this is a way station it's not gonna stop" Peter said.
"What is it" Stiles asked seeing Peter's expression. "What are those places, Bannack, Canaan" Stiles asked.
"I know you know something" Stiles said. "We gotta get out of here nobody is safe" Peter said.
"Yeah, in here" Stiles said. "In Beacon Hills your friends, your family, everybody you've ever known you've gotta go they're gonna be taken" Peter said leaving.
"Where are you going" Stiles asked before following him. "What did you see up there the towns what did it mean" Stiles asked.
"I just told you they're never gonna stop" Peter said. "Okay so what's the plan then" Stiles asked.
"I'm going through the portal" Peter said. "Wait, wait, wait, no one gets through the portal you said that yourself" Stiles said.
"No human can but I'm better than human remember I'll heal" Peter said and faced Stiles.
"Stiles let's not have a moment" Peter said. "If you survive you have to find my friends for me okay you have to tell them about me cause they're not gonna remember me, so you have to tell them that I'm here" Stiles said.
"When I survive, I'm going to get as far away from Beacon Hills as I possibly can and if I happen along one of your below average friends and it doesn't inconvenience me, I might mention your name" Peter said turning away.
"Yeah, what about Malia and Avery or even Derek" Stiles asked causing Peter to stop in his tracks as he remembered the day he got out of Eichen house discovering Malia, Derek and Avery were there and were in trouble and how he saved them without their knowledge.
Peter turned around to face Stiles. "I know you're doing this for them you're risking being incinerated for them and I'm okay with that" Stiles said.
"And I bet you didn't know that I know deep down you secretly care for Avery, but I do it's hard not to care for her" Stiles added.
"Stiles" Peter said once he heard the horses. "Stall them" Peter said. "What, how" Stiles asked.
"Use your head" Peter said and hid. Stiles jumped up and threw the bench onto the ground.
"What are you doing" Peter asked himself and felt like he was stepping on something. Once he moved his foot he saw Stiles's keys.
Peter then jumped onto the horse behind the ghost rider as he held on.
Peter looked back at Stiles before looking forward.
A ghost rider saw Stiles and threw his whip at him throwing him on the ground. Stiles looked forward and saw Peter and the ghost riders went through the portal.
>>>
Suddenly Scott, Avery, Lydia and Malia heard a loud roar. Scott and Lydia got out of the car and made their way to Malia and Avery.
"Did you hear that" Malia asked. "I think all of Beacon Hills heard that" Lydia said. "Who is it" Avery asked. "I'm not sure but I think I recognized it" Malia said.
"Go" Lydia told Malia, Avery, and Scott who rushed off and they went their separate ways looking for him.
"Hey, any luck" Scott asked once he caught back up with Malia and Avery. "No, he hasn't roared again Avery, and I got a scent but" Malia said.
"There's something wrong with it" Scott said. "It smells like whoever it is, is burning" Avery said when they heard the roar again and they made their way to where the sound was coming from.
They saw a man burnt and made their way to him. "I hear a heartbeat" Malia said. "Who is that" Scott asked.
"I don't know but I know the scent even through the barbecue" Malia said.
"And whoever it is I feel like I seen him before" Avery said and they made their way to him.
Malia and Avery bent down to him looking at him. "How do you think he got here there's no tracks, no fire" Scott asked when suddenly he opened his eyes.
"Oh my god" Malia said. "Peter" Avery said, and he nodded. Scott went over to Avery and bent down next to her. "Who's, Peter" Scott asked.
"Peter Hale" Malia said, and Peter nodded. "My dad" Malia said and Scott looked at him and remembered him. "Peter" Scott said.
"He bit me, and Avery how could I forget him" Scott asked. "How did I forget him" Malia asked.
"He must have been taken by the ghost riders" Avery said. "He has something" Malia said as Peter motioned to his hand.
Avery took Peter's hand and Scott took his other one while Malia put her hand next to where Hazel's was and took some of his pain. When they stopped Malia took the item out of Peter's hand.
"What is it" Scott asked and Malia shown the keys.
>>>
Avery and Scott were in the jeep with Lydia and Lydia looked at the key. Lydia put the key in the ignition and went to start it but couldn't.
She tried again only for it not to start. "Don't flood it" Scott said. "Do you even know what that means" Lydia asked. "Not really" Scott said.
Lydia went to try it again and this time it worked, and they all smiled. "It worked" Avery said smiling.
Suddenly they heard a radio and Scott turned down the volume. "Hello" they heard a voice say.
"Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait" Lydia said stopping Scott. "Hello, is anyone there can anyone hear me" the voice asked, and Lydia grabbed the radio.
"Stiles" Lydia said. "Stiles are you there" Scott asked. "Stiles is they you this better not be a sick joke" Avery said.
"Scott, Lydia, Avery is that you" Stiles asked. "Oh my god Stiles, we can hear you" Lydia said. "You know me you remember me" Stiles asked. "Stiles is this you, is this actually you" Lydia asked.
"Yeah, it's me" Stiles said. "Do you remember the last thing I said to you" Stiles asked.
"You said, you said remember I love you" Lydia said and Avery looked at Lydia and smiled. "Are you okay" Scott asked. "Where are you" Avery asked.
"We're coming to get you" Scott said. "No, no, no you can't, you won't be able to find me" Stiles said. "Stiles what, what are you talking about" Scott asked.
"Just tell us where you are and we'll, we'll come and" Scott said when Stiles interrupted.
"Right just remember this Canaan okay you have to find Canaan just find Canaan" Stiles said and the radio disconnected. "Stiles, Stiles" Scott said.
