Chapter Five: Death


We took a moment to process what Isaac had said, but we didn't get much of a chance as Isaac jolts up, and the candles cut out like someone blew them out all of a sudden. "I saw it! I saw the name," he states, as the he looks to Deaton, Scott and I. 

He lifts himself up from the tub, but Scott and Derek help him out, Deaton getting a towel for him to be wrapped in. Once Isaac was out, Deaton wrapped the grey towel around him, so he can warm up quicker, but what he had said before he came out of the trance, still shocked me. 

"It's, uh, Beacon Hills First National Bank. It's an abandoned bank, and they're keeping them locked inside the vault," Isaac states, but everyone remained silent as the words still played on our minds. Isaac's gaze went to all of us, as we just stood their like wet lemons. "What?" He finally asked, as water dripped from him.

"You don't remember what you said right before you came out of it, do you?" Stiles had said, as he was the one taking the lead to tell him what he had spoken.

"No," Isaac replied while shaking his hair. 

"You said when they captured you that they dragged you into a room and that there was a body in it,"

"What body?" Isaac asked, his eyes going to Deaton, but he didn't reply. 

"Erica," Stiles had said, as I cast my eyes down to the floor. "You said it was Erica," And with that said, everyone stayed quite. You don't know if it's true or not, but it did have me thinking about what I did for Derek in the summer break, when he asked if I could help find Boyd and Erica, the spell didn't work, but yet it did. Something was blocking my magic, but it still senses that Boyd was alive and if Erica is really dead then that's why the map went up in flames...

As I was lost in thought, I didn't notice everyone around me start to move and soon enough the lights in the building came back on, but the rain still poured. 

"She's not dead," Derek voice raised as he didn't want to believe it. 

"Derek, he said, 'There's a dead body. It's Erica.' Doesn't exactly leave us much room for interpretation," Stiles said, as I look at him, as I was next to Deaton. 

"Then who was in the vault with Boyd?" Derek replied. 

"Someone else, obviously,"

"Maybe it was the girl on the motorcycle. The one who saved you?" Scott had pipped up and looked to Isaac.

"No, she wasn't like us and whoever was in the vault with Boyd was," Isaac states as he knew the girl who saved him wasn't a werewolf.

"What if that's how Erica died? They pit them against each other during the full moons and see which one survives... It's like werewolf thunderdome," Stiles had said, and the thought of that made me sick to my stomach.

"Then we get them out tonight," Derek states strongly, as he wanted them out before someone else is killed.

"Be smart about this, Derek," Deaton began as he turns to look at him. "You can't just go storming in,"

"If Isaac got in, then so can we," Derek replied, knowing that if one person got in, so can we.

"But he didn't get through a vault door, did he?" Deaton sounded smart-ass about it but he was right. 

"We need a plan," Scott had announced, looking to all of us. 

"Alice, what about you? You have magic can't you get us in?" Derek asked, his eyes on me as everyone was, but Derek look more pleading. 

"Remember that spell I did for you in the summer," I began as he nodded his head. "If the vault is protected, then I don't think my magic would work on it," I gave him a sad as I cross my arms over my chest, to feel the wet patch that was there. I sighed and started to remove my top, pulling it over my head. I could feel everyone eyes go to my body as I was half-way through pulling it off, so there was no point in stopping now.

I pulled the top over my head and my black lace bra was fully visible for everyone to see. My breasts were perky and pushed up to make them look more attractive, which we all do ladies... I think the bra looks fancy and super sexy on me. But everyone in here stared at me, besides Deaton, but the rest were like they haven't seen breasts before. 

"Guys, they are a pair of boobs," I state to them as I rolled my eyes at the hormonal men in here. All of a sudden, they peeled their eyes away from me. Certain people, Aka, Stiles began to turn a pink shade, before they all carried on talking, but I zoned out. I placed my leather jacket on, and pull my hair out from the back, making it flow over the jacket. This look suits me, no top, just the black lace bra, and the leather jacket. Feel like a bad kid...

But my mind went back to Erica, was she really dead? Or was the map setting on fire was just something bizarre? 

...................................................................

Scott and Stiles was doing their research on how the bank had been broken into before, which ended up being all night. If I know them two like I do...

Allison had offered to pick me up from my house, instead of me walking again, she had also picked up Lydia along the way. We had found a parking space within the school parking lot. The three of us, got out of the car as it was a four-door. "So, mystery girl leaves a bruise on our arms that turns out to be the logo for a bank?" Lydia states as she closes the car door, before scoffing a laugh. Allison had told me on the way here, and asked me to keep it a secret from Scott, but I already knew and I didn't want to get in their way. "What's she trying to do? Give us investment advice?" Lydia had pulled me back from my thoughts, as I look over to Allison. 

"Not at this bank. It's been closed for years," Allison began as she shuts her car door, before we made our way to the boot of the car. 

"Why aren't you telling Scott?" Lydia asked, wanting to know about it.

Allison stops in front of us, as she tied her jacket around her. "Because according to someone, I need to find something real," she states, as she gives us a look and we know she was on about Derek. She lifts the boot up and grabs her bag. I took a quick glance to see a tool used to break into chains. I frown for a brief moment. "Which reminds me, um--" she closes the boot of her car. "--I can't drive you home today. I have an errand to run after school," she states to Lydia and I, but I knew she was going to go to the bank and sneak around to find something. 

We walked across the road to the school, but I wanted to speak to Allison for a moment. "Allison, can I speak to you?" I asked, as we stopped on the path way. Lydia walking ahead as I just wanted to speak to her. 

But before she could speak, I held my hand up to her. "Your going to break into the bank. Aren't you?" I had asked, an eyebrow raised and my gaze convincing. 

"Yes..." she replied as she didn't want to fight with me on this. 

"I'm coming with, for protection," I state to her as she only could nod to my comment, as I was better equipped to help her out. I gave her a smile, and wrapped my arm around hers as we walked up the steps to the door and entering. We chuckle to ourselves down the school hallway. 

I would do anything for Allison and Lydia, they are my best friends, even feel like sisters to me and I'm glad that I've met them...

.....................................................

The school day had ended and night had fallen upon us. Allison and I lurk outside the bank. I told her to leave the tool in the car, because she had me. Allison and I stood at the bank door, a chain with a padlock. Allison touches the chain, wondering how I am going to break it.

"Step aside," I said to her with a smirk, and she held her hand out for me to do my stuff. "Fractos," I chant and the chain that barred the door, suddenly snap apart in the middle. The chain and the padlock drop to the floor, making the sweet sound that chains do. 

I push the left hand door open and went inside, Allison going in first as she smiles at me, her eyes gleaming with amazement. Once we were inside the door closed, and cars drove pass, but inside the bank was dusty, and full of clutter, things that were useful now not.

Paper's scattered around the floor, Allison went first then I was behind, we sneaking around quietly. We walk in the massive lobby, our eyes taking in everything. Just then, I heard a 'bang', my head whipping around to the noise, I see Allison look down at the stuff she knocked over. I frown at her as she gives me an apologetic look. 

But we moved forward, keeping our ears and eyes open. As we made our way through the lobby, we were coming to a hallway, leading to the vault, I hope. As we walked half-way down the hallway, I came to a halt on the spot, sensing that something was off. But Allison didn't know and walked a few steps forward, and before she knew it, a woman came out of the shadows and attacked. 

Allison fought her off for a moment, but the woman had caught her arm and pushes her against the wall, but she put up a fight but the woman pushes Allison again, it happened so fast that I couldn't do anything. 

"Miss Morrell?" Allison spoke as I was about to use my magic, but I didn't as I made my way over.

"Keep your mouth shut, and listen close," she began, as she had let go of Allison and stared at us both. "You both have no idea what you just stepped into. Right now you've got maybe 20 seconds to get your ass hidden,"

"What are you doing?" Allison asked, as she was confused and so was I.

"Get in that storage closet over there. Lock the door. When you hear the fighting start, that's when you come out," Miss Morrell's voice was strong and commanding. 

"What fighting?" I had asked her gaze went to me. 

"You'll hear it. Now, go!" She states strongly again she bolts away, Allison is let panting to herself after what happened. But there was no time to process as I took her hand, and dragged her into the closet with me, and once we were in I turned around and locked the door. 

I tried the light switch to the side but it didn't work, I sigh but my hearing picked up footsteps coming this way and a sort of cane hitting the floor. Allison went into the corner as she slowed her breathing down, but who was coming came to a stop outside of the door as I could see the shadow from the bottom of the door. I could also hear their heart beat, and if they had stopped then they are sniffing the air. 

I zig-zagged my hand down the closet door using my magic to block werewolves from sensing what was beyond the door, and within a few seconds the shadow had moved and carried on walking down a hall. I hear Allison release a breath as she was holding it in. I also let out a gust of air as I was too holding my breath. But something didn't feel right, my stomach was churning and doing flips, but I've eaten so it was something else. 

Without knowing it, Allison had gotten her phone out and used the torch to light up the room, she began to sweep the right hand side of the room, before she sweeps her phone to the other side, and that's when we saw it...

Allison gasps as she jumps back in fright, as I stare at the cold, decaying body...

It was Erica... So, the map going up in flames was because Erica was dead...
