Twenty-four
A/N: double update?? Whaaat???
Olivia's POV:
"Olivia, oh my god." Allison cups my face, seeing the red line across my neck once the school nurse finished checking up on me. "You were right, you were almost one of the sacrifices. I'm so sorry for not listening to you."
"It's okay." I rasp but jump at the loud clap of thunder that went off in the sky. "Scott and the Sheriff came in time before Ms. Blake could do anything else."
"But you still got hurt." She tilts my head a bit, most likely looking for any more injuries.
"Better me than you."
"All I know is that I'm gonna rip her throat out for trying to kill you," Isaac growls, breaking my stares away from Allison. "I can't get ahold of Derek or Scott."
"Scott and Stiles went to his loft to warn him about Ms. Blake," I respond. "But where's Lydia? How is she?"
"She's got bruising on her neck. They're taking her to a hospital downtown since Beacon Memorial is being evacuated." Allison says and as if on cue, the lightning outside flashes in the sky.
"The storm is that bad?" I look behind Allison and see the rain pour heavily from the clouds.
"It will be. I overheard an EMT saying the backup generators might be too old to last if the power goes out." Isaac responded.
"Beacon Memorial is where my mom works at." I say and move my shoulder around, hearing a small crack which causes me to wince. "I have to go."
Argent walks up to us with a stern expression. "I'm taking the three of you home. Where it's safe."
I shake my head immediately. "I need to go to the hospital to see if my mom is okay." I say and Isaac nods in agreement.
"I'll go too. I can't leave Cora there with just Peter." He says and wraps my arm around his so he can help me walk."
We start walking down the hallway, pushing past people that were talking to some of the deputies, but a voice stops us from walking.
"Olivia wait." We turn to see Argent and Allison walking to us. "I'll take you."

Once we arrive at the front of the hospital, all I could see was complete chaos. There were tons of vehicles around with people running and yelling at each other orders about the patients inside.
I was already drenched from the rain but I tried my best not to slip when I ran inside with Allison, Chris, and Isaac trailing behind me. The lights were flickering on and off which meant that the power was going to go out pretty soon.
"Olivia?"
I turn and see my mom with a panicked expression as she ran to me. I pull her in my arms but she pulls away quick.
"What happened?" She immediately asks.
"Let's just say English isn't my favorite subject anymore," I scoff but she furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. "Ms. Blake tried to kill me."
She tilts my head upward, tracing the mark along my neck. "She did this to you? I just saw her with Scott, Derek, and Stiles." She says, pointing to the elevators. "They went to get Cora on the second floor."
"Okay, thanks," I say and was about to head to the elevators but turn back to my mom. "You need to go home."
"Is something bad going to happen?" She hesitantly asks and I nod. "I'll try to but I'm stuck here until we evacuate everyone."
"Olivia, we have to go," Isaac calls from the elevator.
"Just try to leave, please." I plead and she nods, ushering for me to go.
I quickly go inside the elevator and it shuts behind me, going up to the next floor.
I feel something in my hand and look down, seeing Allison hand me one of her Chinese ring daggers.
"I have a feeling you're gonna need this." She whispers and I give a small smile, gripping onto the dagger in my hand.
As soon as the elevator doors open, it revealed Derek and Scott in the middle of a heated fight with the twins who were merged together.
Oh god, that means Deucalion and Kali are here too.
Isaac immediately charges to them, shifting into a werewolf and tries to tackle them, but immediately gets smacked to the side.
The twins pick up Scott by the throat from the ground, pinning him to the wall.
"Ethan...Aiden. Stop!" Scott growls. "You don't know what you're doing!"
"All we want is her!" They point to Ms. Blake who was across the hallway, watching the whole thing unfold in front of her and she starts to back away slowly to the other elevator.
Round two, bitch.
"Olivia." Allison warned but I was already sprinting across, gripping the dagger in my hand.
Before the elevator closed with her inside, I dive headfirst with the doors closing behind me.
Her eyes widen in shock but then smirked once she sees it was me. "Hello again, Olivia. Couldn't get enough of me?" She taunts and I hold up the dagger in my hands.
"Yeah, Voldemort called. He wants his face back." I retort and she scowls at my comment.
I try to slice her cheek but she blocks it with her arm and lands a punch on my side. I slash again at her stomach but she dodges once more and brings her foot down on my wrist which makes a small crack.
I drop the dagger and stumble back, but she does one last kick to my chest to make my back hit the wall. She grabs the dagger on the ground then stabs my thigh, causing me to groan.
"Did you really think you can stop me with this thing?" She asks and grabs the hilt of the dagger. "Pathetic." She twists the blade around, causing me to cry out in pain.
The elevator doors open and she smirks at me, taking her hand off the blade before walking out of the elevator. I try to yank the dagger out of my leg but the pain only worsened.
However, small taps on the tiled hospital floor cause me to look up and Ms. Blake to stop in her tracks as well.
Across the end of the hallway was Deucalion and Kali which causes my blood to boil once she locked eyes with me.
Instantly I'm hit with flashbacks of her killing Boyd in front of my eyes and her snarky comments about joining the alpha pack.
More than anything in the world I wanted to see her dead.
"At this point, I don't even have to try." Deucalion chuckled, seeing the dagger injected into my thigh.
Ms. Blake slowly started to back away once she sees him left his cane to pick off the top piece, revealing the sharp end as if it was like a spear. He throws it at her, missing by a few inches from her face and buried itself in the wall.
Kali sprints forward with her claws extended but Ms. Blake quickly comes back inside, pressing the buttons on the elevator frantically as if her life depended on it.
Which it technically did.
The doors were close to shutting until Kali manages to stick her hands through, forcing the doors apart with her strength. I try to back away as much as I could but the pain in my leg made it harder to move.
"C-Can you get her first? I don't mind being second!" I shakily say which causes Ms. Blake to send glares toward my direction. "Oh don't act shocked. You're the one who stabbed my leg!"
From the reflection, Ms. Blake's eyes begin to glow white and she holds her hands out, slamming her hands against the elevator doors which causes Kali to fly backward and roll across the floor as the doors shut.
Ms. Blake looks down at me once more and I raise my hands innocently. "I take back what I said," I say and she rolls her eyes.
Once we get to the third floor again, I expected her to take off running again but then she does the most unexpected thing.
She crouches down to my level and grabs my arm to wrap it around her neck so she could help me up.
"Thought you would leave me for dead." I retort as she drags me through the now dark halls since the power went out.
"They won't get me out of here if I kill you here so I have to make a bargain." She says as she leads me to what seemed like an exam room.
"There has to be something that we can do. We have to help her." We hear Scott say which causes Ms. Blake to scoff.
She pushes open the doors which cause everyone to snap their heads toward our direction. Allison's eyes widen once she sees me, holding her dagger towards Ms. Blake with a glare while Isaac extended his claws.
"You can't. Only I can." Ms. Blake says and takes a step closer to them. "I saved Olivia here, so I can save Cora and tell you where Sheriff Stilinski is."
"You didn't save me, you were about to leave me for dead." I glare but she grabs the hilt of the dagger again, pushing it further inside my thigh which causes me to shut my eyes, holding back my groan.
"Okay, okay! What do you want?" Allison shouted.
"There's a pack of alphas in this hospital who want me dead." Ms. Blake explained and turned away from me. "I'll help you only when I'm out of here and safe. Only then."
She shoves me off and I land on the ground with a grunt. Allison crouches down to my level with worry but still held her dagger out so she wouldn't try anything.
Derek however, pushes the table out of the way and tries to lunge at her but Scott holds him back.
"Derek!" Scott scolded at him.
"She was trying to get out!" Derek angrily pointed to her.
"I was trying to keep from getting killed. You can't blame me for that." She remarks.
"If you want to show you're one of the good guys then heal Cora." I retort as I kept trying to pull the dagger out of my leg but it stayed put.
She scoffs. "Not until I'm safe."
"I'd like to volunteer a different method of persuasion," Peter speaks up with a glare. "Let's torture her."
"Works for me," Derek says, trying to push Scott's arm away.
"Surprisingly, I second that," Argent muttered.
The intercom screeches, causing all of us to look around in confusion.
"U-Um, can I have your attention?" I hear my mom's voice shakily speak. "Mr. Deucalion--excuse me. Just Deucalion, requests you bring the woman calling herself Jennifer Blake to the E.R reception."
"No..." I whisper softly as my heart dropped.
"Do this and everyone else can leave." We hear Melissa's voice speak out as well and I glance at Scott, seeing his grip on Derek's arm loosen. "You have ten minutes."
"He's not gonna hurt them," Jennifer speaks up again.
"Shut up!" Derek and I scold in unison.
"He won't!" She turns to Scott. "He still needs Olivia. And Scott, you know why he wants you. Tell them it's true."
Derek glares at Scott. "What is she talking about?"
She notices he doesn't say another word and rolls her eyes. "You're not the only one he wants in his pack." She responds and I furrow my eyebrows. "Deucalion doesn't just want an alpha pack. He wants perfection. That means adding the rarest of alphas to his ranks."
"A true alpha," Peter says in realization. "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."
"It doesn't matter." Scott quickly says and gestures to Jennifer and I. "We still need to get them out of here."
"Scott, your mom--" Stiles tries to say but Scott cuts him off.
"My mom said there's one more ambulance coming in twenty minutes and I-I don't think we've been here that long. If we can get down to the garage, get to the last ambulance, we can get out of here." Scott explains.
I grip on the dagger tightly and yank it off of my leg with a small grunt. "I'm not gonna just let my mom be held hostage with Deucalion and the woman who desperately needs a pedicure." I retort as Allison helped me up to my feet. "Kali won't hesitate to kill them."
"And the twins aren't just gonna let us walk out," Peter adds.
"He won't hurt them if they want me to join their pack," Scott says without hesitation. "I'll distract the twins if I have to."
"You mean fight them." Derek crosses his arms.
"Whatever I have to do," Scott says but I definitely didn't like this plan.
"I'll help you," Derek says with Isaac nodding his head in agreement, mumbling a 'me too.'
"Um, sorry but I'm not going anywhere without you, Derek." Jennifer bluntly says which makes me roll my eyes.
"Then I'll do it," Peter speaks up which practically surprised everyone since he stayed in the sidelines. "But I prefer to be out there with an advantage."
"Advantage like what, a weapon?" Stiles asks but Peter gives him a pointed look.
"Something better than a baseball bat."
I turn to Stiles with an annoyed expression. "You thought you could go against two alphas with a baseball bat?"
"Not all of us have supernatural powers, Olivia!" Stiles argues then gestures to Allison. "Or know how to use daggers like a freaking ninja!"
"Let's just find something that can help...him," Argent grumbles in annoyance and starts to look through the drawers.
Allison and I start looking through the cabinets that were filled with bandages, pulling some out just in case there was anything else.
"Hey wait!" Allison and I turn to see Stiles holding the pads that connected to the automated external defibrillators. "What about these?"
"Do you know how to use those?" Derek asks.
Stiles looks down at the pads in his hand but then shakes his head. "No..."
"Then put them back before you hurt yourself," I remark and he puts them back down with a small nod.
"Epinephrine?" Scott asks, holding up a giant syringe.
"That's only going to make them stronger," I say, remembering that my mom told me about having to use it on a patient with a bad allergic reaction.
Peter looks up with interest. "How strong?" He glances at the needle but then slowly looks away. "Never mind, keep looking."
I walk over to Derek and grab his arm, pulling him to where Scott was. "Hold him down."
Scott nods before handing me the syringe then walks over to Peter with Derek, both of them grabbing his arms to hold him.
"What the--" Peter grunts but then sees the syringe in my hand. "Hey! I said no!"
