11. Speed Dial

"Please stay safe," she breathes.

The corners of my mouth stretch upwards ever so slightly. "Always. I'll see you soon, okay?"

"See you," she says before the phone goes dead. I turn and hand the phone back to Stiles, wincing slightly from turning too far on my right side. It was like I was in pain but I wasn't; it was hard to explain.

Stiles takes the phone as he shoves it back into his pocket. "I'm going to get this bus pulled over even if it's the last thing I do."

Scott and I watch Stiles carefully as he stands and makes his way to the front of the bus where Coach was waiting. He stops in front of him as he says something I can't hear, but I was sure that Scott could. Before long however, Stiles is shouting at the top of his lungs as Coach blows a whistle in his face, telling him to get back to his seat. I knew then that we weren't getting off this bus anytime soon.

Stiles turns around in defeat and to come back to sit with us, but then he stops. His head cocks to the side as he looks down at a kid I had heard of named Jarod; the one that got car sick easily. Stiles sits next to him as I turn away, already knowing what was coming. I was positive that if I were to watch it, it would send off a chain of barf.

But as I closed my eyes to not think about what was coming, more images flashed through my mind, reminding me of the previous events that had occurred what felt like ages ago.

1 day ago

I couldn't think straight.

One minute I was having the time of my life, then the next I was having multiple panic attacks. Jade and Kali took Stiles and Allison both; and I had no idea what to do. Why would they do that? What was their plan? I guess it didn't matter. I was desperate to find both of them.

My chest heaves huge breaths as I grab the handle to Stiles' jeep, seeing that the drivers side door was hanging open. I pull it open as my hands search the darkness, trying to find a light or even better, Stiles' phone. Luckily, I found the phone first, pressing the top button as it came to life. My fingers shake as I call the first number on Stiles' list, pressing it to my ear as my mouth grew dry.

"Hello? Stiles?"

It was Lydia.

"Lydia!" I practically scream into the phone. I was slowly losing it and I knew it to. "I-they took Stiles and Allison. The alpha pack; they took them."

Lydia sounds confused. "Wh-Corey? What happened?"

"Allison and I were out on a date," I say, remembering her smile before Jade's red eyes flashed into my mind. "Then Jade and Kali came and took her and Stiles. Please Lydia...I don't know where they took them and what they're going to do."

Lydia sounds like she's moving. "Where are you?"

"Harring Bridge," I breathe, feeling another panic attack coming. "I-I don't know what to do-"

"Stay put Corey," Lydia says, starting to take charge. "I'm going to call Scott, okay? Just stay there and don't move. I'll be there soon."

I nod my head before I realize that she couldn't see me. "Lydia, I've seen what they can do. They...they can't do that to Allison or Stiles-"

"They won't," Lydia says sternly, sounding like she meant it. "We're going to find them, okay? I swear to you."

"Thank you," I breathe into the phone before it goes dead, panic setting in once again. I stare at the bright screen for a moment before I throw the phone to the back of the car, anger starting to take over me. I either handled terrible situations one of two ways; by crying or by anger.
