Dark of the moon

Chaos Rising - 5

Once we went over the building plans once more we all left for the bank. "What?" Derek said irritably when he noticed Scott staring at him. "There's just something I can't get out of my head."

I looked up at the moon. We were outside the bank, the building next over ready to climb over and get to the bank. "The moon's rising," means we don't have nearly enough time. It won't be to long before Boyd and mystery girl begin to feel the effects of the full moon. "Scott. What is it?"

"Risk and reward." Scott stated. Our economics lesson? "Which means what?" Derek asked.

"We're not measuring the risk with enough information." Scott explained, repeating Coaches lesson. "We don't know enough." He was right, we didn't know nearly enough. We didn't the why. The most important one to me right row. 

"We know time's running out!"

"Yeah, but think about it--" Scott pointed out. "They put the triskele on your door four months ago. What have they been doing all this time? Why wait until now?" I pondered the question, he was right. He was terribly right. 

"We don't have time to figure out every little detail--" Derek said impatiently.

"Okay, but what if this detail-- the reason why they waited-- is the most important one?" Scott questioned. Well great, now he's making me doubt this entire plan. "Then we do nothing, and Boyd and Erica are dead."

Derek sighed. "I know what I'm risking-- my life for theirs." Derek jumped up to the fire escape ladders. He looked down at us. "And I won't blame you if you don't follow me."

As if. I looked at Scott. Even when I agreed on nearly everything Scott had just said, I couldn't just let Derek go off by himself. Lord knows what could happen. "I can't let him go by himself." I jumped up to the ladder and began to climb after Derek.

A second later Scott jumped right after us. We went down the shaft and found the vault wall which Derek began punching. 

"Again." Derek pulled back his fist and then with one final blow the wall broke. "Nice one superman." We stepped in. The vault was empty, well it looked empty. It didn't smell empty. "Boyd?" I called out to the figure standing on the other side. He turned to face us, I felt a swell of relief. It was Boyd.

"Boyd, it's me." Derek said in a soothing voice, trying to call him forward. "It's Derek."

Scotts phone buzzed and he picked it up. "Stiles, now is not the best time." He scolded into the phone. While he was on the phone Derek and I tried getting to Boyd. "Boyd," I said calmly. "It's us. Derek and Isabelle." I took a breath. "You know us."

He kept a low growl. "Boyd, I need you to listen." Derek said to him. "We came to get you out of here."

"Guys," Scott called to us. "We got a problem. A really big problem." A girl stepped out from the shadows before he could tell us what that was. She was about my height, made an inch taller. She's skinny, brown hair and ragged clothes. I almost fall back when I see her, when I recognize her. There is no way.

"Cora?"

"Who?" Scott asked, confused. I swallowed the lump in my throat. This didn't make any sense. I was almost on the verge of tears seeing her alive and in front of me and so was Derek.

"Cora?"

She growled. "Isabelle. Derek. Get out." She ordered. "Get out now!" Well that was a rude welcome. 

The vault door opened, and I was surprised to see Morrell standing there, holding in her hands mountain ash. It took me a second to realize there was a circle of it surrounding the vault. And she closed it up. "No. No, wait!" Oh shit.
