Welcome to Chapter 22 - I'm going to dive straight in as I can't wait for you all to see what happens next - pre warning gifs are included again!!
Stiles POV
Thomas, my friend why couldn't I have saved you from this fate. Would you have been better off without me??
Chris POV
As me, Rafael, Sheriff and Parrish reach our entrance point I notice Parrish eyes start to glow, it had been agreed that he would be able to track Stiles easier this way along with getting through any Mountain Ash barriers if required.
"Are we all ready?" Rafael asks before he pushes the doors open into the eerily quite corridor.
As we enter the doors quickly slam shut behind us, well I guess we are not leaving the same way as we arrived then, I grab the torch out of my pocket and light it as Rafael and Sheriff do the same.
"Parrish, can you hear anything?" Sheriff asks his Deputy who's eyes are shining brightly in the dark corridor.
"Directly below us but we need to hurry." Parrish advises before launching into a run and crashing open the gate I hadn't even noticed blocking our path.
"Rafael, radio Scott and advise him what Parrish said." I advise throwing the radio over to him for him to make the call as I step forward lighting up the hallway ahead more.
"Parent team to Alpha team, please be advised the Hound has advised directly below our position. Over!" Rafael advises into the radio but only static is heard from the other side but I wasn't worried as the double click just sent answered what Rafael had just said.
As we walk down the hallway I can't help but think about Allison, I sometimes wonder what her life would have been like if she had survived that night? How everyone else's life would have been? Mostly I think that for Stiles, even though he wasn't responsible he still carries more guilt over it compared to everyone else.
It does make me wonder whether the career path he had taken was due to that time, yes I know he was always going to join the Law enforcement but would he have done what he did with Mitch or Thomas if it hadn't been for what happened. As I got lost in my thoughts I noticed everyone else had stopped walking and were staring at me.
"Chris, are you okay?" Sheriff asks looking deeply concerned as he shined his torch in my face.
"Yeah sorry, why have we stopped for?" I ask hoping the answer wasn't staring me in the face or had already been discussed.
"It's the Closed Unit, this place is normally crawling with the worst of the worst but I am not picking up any signs of life. Saying that since we entered the building, I have only picked up additional activity from the basement alone." Parrish advises lighting his hands a flame as he burns down the Mountain Ash blocking his path.
"Alright, let's stay on guard for everything and anything." Sheriff advises pulling out his gun as me and Rafael follow suit and we all head into the close unit.
As we enter all the lights switch on and Stiles's screams start echoing around the area causing me to clasp my ears tightly.
Stiles POV
Lydia, oh my dearest Lydia. I wish my heart belonged to another to save you from this torment and pain I have caused you. You are my Anchor in this and all lives.
Scott, my true brother. You are the first person to accept me for who I was and always had the purest of hearts. No other person more deserving of the True Alpha status.
Scott POV
As we enter through the main doors I notice the doors slam shut tightly behind us once we were all inside. The other thing I notice is how eerily quite it is, its like a ghost town and believe me I know what I am talking about, I have literally visited one.
I close my eyes and try to locate where Stiles is located within the building, I can hear the racing heartbeats coming from all areas of those who have just entered but mixed within them is another that seems to be changing between very fast and very slow.
"I think I found him, he is the Basement nearest to the entrance of where Dad came in. Malia, which is the best way to access that area?" I ask Malia knowing from her past experience that she may know the quickest way down.
"Either the door way just off the main dining room or through the closed unit." Malia answers and I notice her sharp tone which I brush off knowing it is a reaction to been back here again.
"Parent team to Alpha team, please be advised the Hound has advised directly below our position. Over!" I hear Dad advise into the radio as Mitch grabs it out of his bag before sending over the agreed response.
"Looks like Parrish has the same thought, we need to get going!" Liam advises before starting to walk off with Malia towards the dining room.
"Mitch, what's wrong?" I ask noticing that he hadn't moved since we had heard the message come through or just in general.
"It's just this place, Mischief told me about his time here and how he described it was strangely accurate expect for one thing." Mitch advises looking around with his head on a swivel and his gun drawn.
"What one thing isn't the same?" I enquire as I hear Malia and Liam wondering where we have got too.
"The people, where are they?" Mitch states before the lights suddenly turn on and Stiles's scream start ringing off all the walls around me causing me to clasp my ears.
Stiles POV
Dad, you have always been my hero. You have kept me safe which I know has never been an easy task, I am sorry you got hurt because of me.
No more, I can't take it anymore, I feel like I need to scream.
