CHAPTER SIXTY-FOUR:
WE WON'T GIVE UP

ELAINE, PETER, AND SCOTT ALL stood there in front of the twins, with Peter having took the Epinephrine and now being a lot more strongly than he originally was. Ethan and Aiden looked at the trio whilst Peter allowed for his eyes to glow.

"All right, boys. Let's rumble."

The twins let out a roar before combining themselves into one and moving forward with Peter and Scott doing the same. Elaine was simply there for back up, and if she had to knock the twins off their asses, she would. But she didn't want to hurt anyone. And then the thought of her mother came back into play, and the urge to hurt someone overtook her and her own eyes glowed and she joined the fight. She dodged hits whilst yelling out an occasional spell that would send the giant alpha stumbling back before they regained their footing and fought once more.

The twins threw the three away from them and Scott and Peter were quick to scramble up and run down the opposite direction from which they came, allowing for Stiles and the others to quickly run past. Elaine stood there in front of the twins and she cocked her head slightly before bring her hand up and slowly curling her fingers into a fist, watching as the creature let out pained growls as they fell to their knees. The desire to watch their heads explode seemed to over take the girl, but before that could happen, Scott had run back to grab her, breaking her concentration and quickly allowing the twins to stand back up.

The trio ran down the hallway, glancing up when the lights suddenly turned off, causing the back up lights to turn on through out the hallway. Elaine swallowed, glancing towards her brother before watching as Peter turned the corner before falling to the floor and leaning against the wall. The duo were quick to stand there beside of him.

"That shot didn't last very long."

"It's not supposed to." Elaine breathed, swallowing thickly as she tried to catch her breath before helping Scott pick the man up from the floor and continuing forward. Elaine pushed out her hand, watching as the door in front them immediately flew open, allowing the trio inside. Scott was quick to close the door, keeping an eye out for the twins. Elaine stood there for a moment, biting her lip before nodding her head.

"You know, I can knock him out, allow us time to escape―︎"

"Absolutely not." Scott denied. "I'm not putting you against that thing by yourself without any back up."

"Those twins are really starting to piss me off." Peter spoke up, causing the siblings to glance towards him.

"How the hell are we supposed to get past them without involving my sister." Scott was quick to add the last part as soon as he saw Elaine open her mouth. The girl huffed and rolled her eyes.

"Personally I think that if we keep letting them beat the living crap out of us, they'll tire and give up." Peter shrugged his shoulders. That's when Scott's eyes landed on the laundry chute and Elaine shook her head.

"I prefer me as the bait." Elaine tried but Scott only sent her a smile.

"Ladies first." Scott told her and Elaine groaned before muttering curses under her breath and going down the laundry shoot and landing in the basket. She was quick to climb out before Peter came down to which Scott came down closely after and landed on Peter. Peter shoved the boy off of him.

"You couldn't have waited, like, ten seconds?" Peter huffed. That's when Scott's phone started vibrating. He looked at the text and Peter looked at Scott's face before asking, "They didn't get out, did they?"

"A rescue mission. We seem to be doing that a lot lately." Elaine huffed before following Peter out the door with Scott right behind her. They continued help Peter, making it out to where the ambulance was before Scott slammed his hand on the window, causing Stiles who was inside to jump.

"Stiles! Stiles, open the door." Scott quickly rushed out and Stiles did as he asked. They were quick to pull Peter inside of the ambulance before the siblings stood there.

"Where's Derek and Jennifer?" Stiles quizzed.

"We have to go back for them. And our mom." Elaine answered him.

"Okay, two problems." Stiles started. "Kali's got the keys to this thing, and I just saw the twins, like, thirty seconds ago." The sound of banging in the distance could be heard, grabbing their attention before turning back to look at Stiles.

"Stay here." Scott said before closing the doors to the ambulance and running off with Elaine on his heels.

The siblings walked down the hallway, being as quiet as possible until Scott suddenly stopped, causing Elaine to do the same. A noise could be heard, causing the boy to quickly turn his head before he was quick to push Elaine out of the way and ducking in time for the twins to throw a punch at him. Scott continued to dodge punches and Elaine stood there with a clenched jaw before watching as Scott was placed in a choke hold.

"Where is she?" They snapped. "We're trying not to hurt you."

"Try harder." Elaine snapped before yelling out, "Phasmatos Motus!" She sent the twins flying away from her brother, watching as Scott fell down to the ground. The twins were quick to stand up and lunged towards the girl, this time grabbing her by the throat. Her eyes glowed as she looked at them, trying to say the spell again before another voice filled their ears.

"Hey!" Melissa stood there, and Elaine immediately started to panic. "I'd like to try something." Elaine was let go, falling down beside of her brother and gasping for air. Melissa was quick to take the defibrillator and shock the twins, causing them to fall down to the ground. The siblings sat there with wide eyes as they looked up towards their mother. "Sweethearts, get up!" She held out her hands and they both grabbed one before allowing for their mother to pull them up from the ground before the three quickly ran down the hall.

"How are you here right now?" Elaine quickly asked. "I thought that bastard had you."

"He just let me go, said it was a gesture of goodwill." Melissa answered. "No other reason."

"He had to have a reason." Scott denied. "I don't think he does anything without a reason."

"Well, if that means that I should continue to be profoundly terrified, then don't worry about it. I got that covered." That's when Scott suddenly stops, the sound of a gun clicking could be heard. Elaine allowed her eyes to glow as she and Scott carefully walked forward, telling their mother to stay back. They went around a corner and stopped when Argent pointed a gun at them, immediately the purple faded from her eyes.

"Jesus, Argent!" Elaine snapped, closing her eyes as she took a breath. Allison and Isaac were with him and Elaine immediately offered Allison a small smile to which the female returned. The group walked down the halls once more with Scott and Elaine quickly filling in Argent on what was currently taking place.

They went through a set of double doors as Argent asked, "So they're essentially trapped?"

"Yeah, right." Scott nodded.

"There's no way of getting them out without turning the power on." Isaac butted in.

"But wait, wait, wait, if the power's back on, they're gonna hear the elevator moving right?" Melissa questioned as they all stood there in the room, surrounding an examining table as they tried to figure out how to get Derek and Jennifer out.

"And they'll be on Jennifer and Derek as soon as it stops." Elaine finished her mother's thoughts, nodding her head.

"We can't get in a fight with them."

"I mean, I can, you just won't let me." She gave her brother a sarcastic smile.

"You've got us now." Argent added.

"It's too much to risk." Scott shook his head. "They want her dead, and if she dies, there's nothing that we can do for Stiles' dad or Cora."

"I don't think I even know which teacher this is." Argent mumbled with furrowed eyebrows.

"She's―︎she's the one with the brown hair." Isaac informed them. "She's kind of hot." The group all looked at him and the wolf looked between them before quickly shrugging his shoulders and saying, "No, it's jus―︎it's just and observation."

There was a pause before Allison suddenly spoke up. "I've got an idea." And then she explained it to them step by step, and they suddenly had a plan to get the two out safely. They drew the twins and Kali outside with Argent and Allison distracting them, Melissa was turning the power back on, and Isaac made it to the ambulance in order to get to Stiles, Peter, and Cora. And Elaine and Scott stayed with one another, quickly maneuvering through the halls and slowing down once they made it to the elevator, only to find Derek passed out on the floor with Jennifer no where to be seen.

"I think we missed a chapter." Elaine muttered as she shared a look with her brother before they looked inside the elevator, only to see the hatch on the roof opened. "Yeah, we definitely missed a giant ass chapter."

"Mom." Scott suddenly said, grabbing Elaine's attention and then he was running off and Elaine's eyes widened in realization. Jennifer had her mother.

"Scott!" Stiles yelled the boys name as he ran down the hall. "Scott, wait!" But Scott ignored him and Elaine just stood there before she looked towards Stiles with tears in her eyes.

"That bitch took my mom." Elaine swallowed thickly. "Go after him. I got Derek." Stiles looked at her for a moment before quickly doing as she asked. Elaine allowed a single tear to drip down her cheek before she clenched her jaw and pure rage took over her. A new Elaine was about to woken up, and Jennifer nor anyone else were prepared for her.

It took a while before they were able to wake Derek up, but when Stiles came running back, quickly explaining to Elaine how her brother had went with Deucalion, the boy seemed to be letting out his anger as he slapped Derek over and over trying to wake him up. And just before Stiles actually punched the man, Derek woke up and grabbed his wrist.

Derek looked around for a moment before looking back towards Stiles. "Where is she?"

"Jennifer?" Elaine asked, and the tone of her voice sounded so void of emotion it was terrifying. "Oh, she just with my mom. Both of which are gone."

"He took her?" Derek questioned.

"Yeah, and if that's not enough of a kick to the balls, Scott left with Deucalion, okay?" Stiles quickly rambled out. "So, we gotta get you out of here. The police are coming right now and we gotta get you the hell out of here." Stiles was quick to pull the man up into a sitting position.

"Whoa." Derek quickly stopped him. "What about Cora?"

"She's safe." Elaine told him and before she knew Derek was up and running away leaving the duo to stand there. Elaine sat down in the elevator, causing her boyfriend to look at her.

"Laney, come on."

"You go ahead." Elaine whispered. "I think I'm just going to sit here and trying not to destroy the whole building." Again, her voice held no emotion, almost like the mention of her mother being taken made her completely shut down.

Stiles looked at her before kneeling down in front of her, placing his hands on either side of her face. "Sweetheart, look at me." Elaine did as he asked. "We'll get your mom back. Just like we're gonna get my dad back, alright? We won't give up until we find them."

"I need you to get away from me." Elaine carefully answered. "It seems that my rage is slowly starting to cause my magic to build up, and I really don't want to explode and kill you."

"I'll take my chances." Stiles answered causing Elaine's jaw to clench. "I'm not leaving your side. Not again." He held her hand and Elaine tightly closed her eyes, opening them only when the faint sound of sirens could be heard. "Listen, the cops are almost here. Go home, or go to Lydia's. I'll handle this."

"Okay." Elaine nodded. Stiles gave the girl a quick peck on the lips before pulling her up from the ground and watching as she quickly made her way out of the hospital, moments before the FBI and her dad, had walked in.
