Chapter Seven: Eichen
I spent the day with Lydia, just keeping her company as Parrish had left to do his job. She slept most of the day, but I kept with her. I had slept through the afternoon as I was tired as well, but I was sharp in my senses just in case...
Suddenly, I began to hear a ringing sound come to my ears, making me jolt up and look around my surroundings. I was slouching in the chair next too the bed, Lydia still fast asleep. This time around, a buzzing sound came to ear, making me look to the left to the bed-side table, my phone flashing up. I quickly grab it and stare at the screen, seeing a few miss calls from Scott and a few texts. It says he was going to a club called 'Sinema' and he wanted me to meet him there.
I didn't waste anytime, as this must be important. I pushed off from my legs and went into vamp-speed. I speed out of the room and out of the hospital, to my parked car, waiting in the parking lot. I had gotten in and started the engine, it roared to life, and didn't waste anytime getting on my way...
..............................
I parked up outside the Sinema and got out and headed to the back, to see it all ready opened. I didn't waste anytime in entering the place. Music blared out and into my ear drums, but I blocked it out. I came to a opening in the wall which was covered in beads that hung from the top of the wall. I parted the beads just in time to see Kira swinging her sword around as her aura of her fox had shown, she was yelling something in Japanese, but I didn't catch it all.
She was ready to kill someone on the ground and aimed her sword down to strike, but I quickly threw my hand out and Kira had stopped before her sword could strike the kid. Kira face looks up as she sees me with my hand out, but her aura began to fade as her eyes stopped glowing. Scott was beside her just as quick, as I lowered my hand.
"Is everyone ok?" Scott's voice rang out, as I cast my gaze around. There was Brett and Mason against a pillar and I could smell Brett's blood from here. Liam was also in the room, as he would have came with Mason.
"Quick question. What the hell is that?" I ask, pointing down to the unconscious kid on the floor, with stringers coming out of his arms. My gaze flickered between Scott and Kira, hoping one of them would have an answer for me.
"It's a Sumerian," Scott states to my question which made me raise an eyebrow at him. "We need to get him out of here. Liam, give me a hand," Scott states as Liam comes forward from the right of me, and grabs the kid's legs, as Scott got his arms. They halt him up, but a arrow was shoot through his chest, as blood splashed up into the air. Scott and Liam drop the body in shock as the arrow zoomed out of the body as it was on a line, making us follow the string up to the rafters. We see three men wearing masks, like Malia had described to us.
"Why did you do that?" Scott rushes out, as there was no need to kill him.
"His condition was terminal," said the first masked man, who's voice was distorted of some sorts.
"What does that mean?" Scott pushes on, but the three of them turn around, and began to leave. "What does that mean?!" Scott raises his voice at them, making them stop and turn back around.
"Failure," his distorted voice replied, just as sparks were produce and darkness had surrounded them all and before we knew it they had all left, like just vanished into thin air...
My gaze dropped to the dead kid on the floor, as they killed him because he wasn't right, he turned out wrong... So what are they cooking up...
....................................
Lydia was now out of the hospital and feeling much better, but she still needed time to heal. Malia had found a book out from Tracy's home, it was titled 'The Dread Doctors' and told us about it, as it sounded familiar to what was happening now. Kira had made copies of the books to give to us, to read it over see if we could find out what was happening. I only read until chapter one and we had found out that Dr. Gabriel Valack, which was a person who was in Eichen house, which I haven't been before, how fun this is going to be....
Night was upon us and we stood at the gates of Eichen house, Lydia was pressing the call button on the box, as it buzzes to alert the inside to allow us entry. But after no response, Lydia presses it again.
"Hello?" She holds the button in longer. "Anyone there?" She went on, as Kira and I cocked eyes. As Stiles and Scott was behind us, talking to each other.
"Please let me use magic, I can open the gates," I raised an eyebrow to Lydia who turns to me and look with a stern one.
"You might rip the gates off," she states, giving me a knowing look. I gave her a sheepish look, like it was true, I would rip them off but I would be gentle this time around.
"Come on, let me have a go," I state to her, as she knew I wasn't going to let this go. Lydia huffs and steps back, extending her hand out to the gates, allowing me to do my stuff. I smiled at her but it was more of a smirk.
I walk forward, standing in front of the gates as the smirk began to fade as my eyes locked at the gate. I waved my hand out to the lock which was on the gate. You could hear the gate unlock, and swings open in our direction, as I looked over my shoulder to Lydia and Kira.
"Told you," I replied to them, a smirking tugging on my lips, as I grabbed the gate and pulled it open some more as all of us began to go in and made our way up the steps. As we came to the top step, the gate behind us had slammed shut, making us look behind for a moment, before continuing forward...
Once we had entered the building, we headed to the main reception which held a male receptionist. We stood there as he moves back to find something in the back, before coming back forward and placing a clear container onto the counter.
"Please empty your pockets into the container," the man states, his eyes flickering between the five of us.
"We're here to see..."
"Please empty your pockets into the container," He cuts Scott off, repeating his demand, Scott turns to look at Stiles for a moment as he nods, as we needed to do this. I was standing to the left of Lydia, as I emptied my pockets which was just my phone I had. Scott placed his phone in, then Stiles places his car keys in, Kira her phone, Lydia her bag, and then me my phone. Stiles leans back over and places his wallet and phone in as well.
"Please remove your belt and your necklace," the man began as his gaze flickered to me. "And place them into the container," he finishes off, his gaze back on Kira.
"I kind of need the belt. I mean, it's crucial to the outfit," Kira tried to plead with him, as it was her sword.
"Please remove your belt, which patients will attempt to take from you and use to strangle either themselves or others," the man had spoke once again, his tone demanding.
"Right. Got it," Kira states while taking her belt off and places it into the container. Before his gaze had moved over to me, waiting for me to do the same with my necklace. If I remove the necklace I would feel lost without it, and I wouldn't be able to do powerful spells if I need too. I couldn't risk it either...
I began to take off my necklace and held it in my hand for a moment, before shutting my palm shut, just for a split second. Before reopening it and placing the necklace into the box, giving the man a fake smile. The man eyes landed on Lydia, his gaze went up and down, making her feel uncomfortable, and it was uncomfortable to watch.
Just then, a gate clatters shut, making us cock our heads to the left to see the Doctor who knows about this, and who is Deaton's friend of sorts. The Doctor greets us and asked him to follow him, as we follow him through the gate we shut, I opened my left hand and sat there was my necklace. I smirk to myself as that creep wasn't having my necklace. I tie it around my neck, and smirk to myself some more as we descended down the stairs...
"I'll remind you that I'm only doing this as a favour to Deaton," the Doctor states as we descended down the stairs some more. "And I'm doing it against my better judgement,"
"Hey, what's the etiquette for talking to this guy? I mean, do you ever look at the other eye?" Stiles asks, as he waves his hand around in flare, trying to be dramatic. I was behind him so it was quite funny to watch.
"I wouldn't. In fact, while you're down here, try not to make eye contact with anyone or anything," the Doctor states, his gaze looking behind his shoulder for a moment, before we kept descending down the stairs...
******
Once we had came to the bottom of the stairs, we went down the hallway, but I could feel the Mountain ash within the walls as it was heavy down here. I matched paced with Lydia, but she turns around to look at Kira and Scott who were staggering behind.
"You didn't think you were all going did you?" The Doctor states his gaze on Scott and Kira.
"It's Mountain Ash, isn't it?" Scott announce his gaze on the Doctor.
"Everywhere, but heavily concentrated down here," he replies back to Scott. It was effecting him and Kira heavily, and they would be feeling weak. The Doctor opens the door with his badge, opening the door for us. "Valack's cell is the last one at the end of the hall," we nodded to the Doctor as he held open the door for us.
We turn to look at Scott and Kira, wanting them to come with us but it wasn't possible. "We'll be right here," Scott states as we nod to him, Lydia walks forward and I was on her trail. We walk through the gates, as we began to walk down the hallway, which was emptied before we turned a corner and along the right-hand side were cells built for the supernatural. At the end of the hall was Valack's cell, I could see him from here, sitting on the floor, waiting for us to arrive...
But were we ready for what he was going to say...
