I woke up and looked around. I was chained on a chair. I was soaked in Vervain water. My skin was burned but it couldn't heal because the Vervain was soaking in.
I looked around.
The door opened and closed.
I breathed out "Gerard"
He walked to a table.
Me "They will come for me"
Gerard nodded "You're right. They will. "
I looked at the thing in front of Gerard.
I asked amused "Electricity? This is getting old, Grandpa"
Gerard "The Vervain last night. The water burning your skin. It's soaking in, isn't it?"
I sighed weakly "Just kill me already"
Gerard shook his head "i don't wanna kill you, my child. You're blood"
I scoffed "Blood does not try to kill blood"
Gerard "I made mistakes"
I chuckled dry "Like trying to kill Brett?"
Gerard "He's dead. Like his sister. What was her name again? Lori, was it?"
I yelled "You bastard! How could you!?"
Gerard "i have my reasons"
Me "They were teenagers! Kids!"
Gerard warned "Careful, child"
I looked around "What am i doing here?"
Suddenly two guys walked inside.
Gerard "There you are. Corina, this are Brandon and James. You're going to drink from them."
My jaw dropped "And why would i do that?"
Gerard "Because you're a vampire. It's in your nature. First you're going to lose control and then i'm going to hand you over to your friends"
i shook my head "i am not going to hurt my friends"
Gerard chuckled "oh you will, child. It's who you are. A monster"
Me "and you kill monsters."
Gerard "Like i said, i'm not killing you. Can't say the same to your pack after i'm done with you, though"
I shook my head "Don't do this to me, please"
Another guy walked inside "Gerard, someone is here to speak to you"
Gerard nodded and walked to the two guys "She's going to drink from you. Either way"
Then he walked out.
They guys walked to me and unchained me.
I shook my head "i'm not drinking from you, guys"
Brandon "if you wanna get out. You'll have to"
He took a knife out and cut his forearm.
My eyes were glued on the blood that started to run down his arm.
I could feel myself shifting.
James smirked "There we go"
I shook my head "not happening"
James walked to the table "You'll have to"
Then he switched something on the box. A pain shot through my body. Electricity.
I screamed in pain.
Brandon "The only way to stop the pain is if you stop us by killing us"
I kept screaming.
Suddenly more water was thrown at me. Vervain water.
I started to cry. My body was on fire.
I sobbed out "Make it stop! please"
He held his arm out. Making me smell the blood even more.
Brandon "kill us"
I screamed in pain. The blood, the pain, the hunger. For fucks sake.
Brandon "James, let's go higher"
James "with pleasure"
The pain got stronger. I was screaming my lungs out.
Suddenly i couldn't take it anymore. I speeded at James and bit in his neck. He yelled in pain. I sucked every single blood out of his body.
I let go of him and his body went limp. I turned to Brandon. His eyes were wide and ran to the door trying to open it but i was faster. I spun him around and bit in his neck. He screamed. His body went limp.
I looked at the bodies. I could see my reflection in the glass of the table.
Blood was all over me and my mouth.
I was shocked at myself.
I tried to open the door but it was locked. I was in a basement.
Great.
I grabbed the chair i was chained on moments ago and threw it at the door.
Nothing. It was a steel door after all.
I screamed "Let me out"
Suddenly i heard a noise. I looked up. The fire sprinklers went on. But it wasn't water what came out of them. It was smoke. I covered my nose but it didn't help. Vervain.
My eyes went heavy and then everything went black.
In the tunnels.
I woke up and looked around. I was in the tunnels.
I could hear Scott"If you brought them, i guess Gerard is here too, isn't he?"
Gerard "Right here, Scott."
Scott "Where's Corina?"
Two guys dragged me to my feet. It was now that i realized my hands were chained together and that they put a muzzle over my mouth.
Scott was clearly shocked of my state but he kept his cool.
Then he looked at Tamora Monroe.
A new teacher and clearly Gerard's toy.
Scott "Whatever he's told you, there's another side of the story."
Tamora "isn't there always?"
Gerard "What were you hoping for here, Scott?"
Scott "i was hoping to talk to someone reasonable. Trust me, he's not the kind of person that you want to follow. He's gonna lead you off a cliff. Look what he did to his granddaughter. "
Gerard asked amused "Following me? no one here is following me, Scott. I'm merely an adviser"
Scott "this is because of you?"
Tomora nodded "that's right. You're negotiating with me, Scott. "
Scott breathed in "okay. Tell me how to settle this. What do you want?"
Tomora "i want to see a werewolf beg for peace."
Scott nodded "Fine. Okay. I'll beg. i'll, i'll do whatever you want.Just tell me that we don't have to kill each other. That we an find a way to make peace. "
Tomora "That wasn't quite what i was hoping for. "
Scott "people are dying"
Tomora "They've been dying. You only care now because it's your people. "
Scott shook his head "you have to want something other than seeing us all dead. What if we leave Beacon Hills? All of us. "
Tomora "if you leave, we'll follow you. We'll hunt you down until every single one of you is gone. "
Scott "some of us have actually been protecting you. "
Gerard "don't listen to him. He wants you to be afraid"
Scott "but you shouldn't be afraid of us. We protect people. people like you"
Tomora scoffed "people like me?you don't know anything about people like me ."
Scott "so help me understand. Tell me what made you hate us so much. "
Gerard "i don't think you wanna press that button, Scott. "
Scott ignored him "something happened to you, didn't it? Something bad"
Tomora "Bad doesn't even come that close. There was a faculty meeting that ran late one night. We were complaining about the new course rubric. I thought that was the worst thing i'd have to deal with that year. I was wrong. We all heard it. This sound coming out of the shadows. "probably an animal," they said. But not like anything i'd ever heard. I saw teeth and claws...Fangs. And then there was blood everywhere. I couldn't believe i was still alive. "
Scott "if one of us had been there-"
Tomora "you were there, Scott. You and the deputy. Don't you remember? Did you even think to check if anyone was still alive? "
Scott shook his head shocked "i didn't know"
Tomora "you didn't care. How many people have to die so you could keep your secret? So you and your friends could carry on as if nothing ever happened. I was there. Lying under those bodies. Hiding and waiting for someone to finally find me. You shouldn't have come alone, Scott"
I could see her grabbing her gun.
Suddenly we heard Malia "he didn't"
Malia and Lydia showed up.
Tomora aimed the gun at Scott.
Scott "hey, hey, hey, we did not come here to fight"
Gerard aimed the gun at me.
My eyes widened.
Gerard "Well, then you came here to die"
Malia growled "we're trying to protect you"
Gerard " you might wanna control your beta, Scott. She could get you all killed"
Lydia "we're not the enemy. There's something else going on. We don't know what it is but we promise you, there's a bigger problem. "
Tomora "something worse than supernatural cannibals? Yeah, i know everything now. Wendigos, Oni, Werecoyotes, Vampires. People being murdered as human sacrifices?"
Scott "We tried to stop those"
Tomora "and how many people lost their lives while you were "trying"?"
Scott "too many"
Tomora "It were twelve"
She pointed at a guy behind her "his son was one of them. His throat was cut and his head bashed in. "
She pointed at the guy was was holding me "his brother was a deputy. Gutted and torn apart. The official report read "animal attack""
Lydia "It's amplifying their fear"
Scott "You've all lost somebody and you wanna get revenge, i get that. But just listen. Something escaped the Wild Hunt. "
Lydia "Scott, Scott, it's here. It's here right now."
Scott asked shocked "What?"
Suddenly i was dropped to the ground and the gunfire started.
Scott yelled"get down!"
Next thing i know was that i saw a red light and Parrish Hellhounding out.
Suddenly i got dragged away. I saw a figure. A tall red thing. Looked like a human body without genitals, skin, hair and a face. Gross.
I heard Parrish scream and then it got shut. The lights went on. Parrish stood up. The figure was on the ground. roasted.
Malia "they didn't come here to negotiate. You did everything you could"
Scott shook his head "no, not everything. Not yet"
home.
Scott carried me upstairs into my room. He put me down.
Suddenly i started to panic.
I tried to open the muzzle but i couldn't because my hands were still tied.
Scott "calm down, calm down, calm down"
He opened the chains. I tried to rip the thing off my face but i couldn't open it.
Scott "it's okay. "
He opened it and took it off my face.
I looked at it.
Scott asked worried "you okay?"
I just walked into my bathroom.
---
I walked out in one of Scott's shirts.
Scott was still standing in my room with that thing in his hand.
Me "you still here?"
Scott "what happened?"
I looked at the thing.
Scott sighed and threw it out of my room.
I shook my head "nothing"
Then I sat down on the edge of the bed.
Scott shook his head "don't do that. Don't shut me out."
I looked at my hands.
Scott "what did they do to you?"
He kneeled down in front of me "Cori"
My voice cracked "i'm so sorry, Scott. I'm so sorry"
Scott shook his head "What did they make you do, Cor? Talk to me, i'm begging you. Don't shut me out"
I buried my face in my hands.
Scott sat down next to me on the bed.
He kissed my hair and hugged me "it's going to be okay"
