Welcome to Chapter 28 - sorry for the delay in updating, finally getting some good ideas with this story now, did anyone manage to crack the co-ordinates from the last chapter??? - Here is the latest chapter - enjoy!!!
? POV
How am I going to survive this? Everything here seems to want to kill me, even the stupid Hens I only wanted to grab an egg for breakfast or is it dinner. Time seems to make no sense here, within what felt like minute night had arrived again. The nights are the worst though the sound of scraping and crashing come from behind the walls are unsettling so I haven't slept much.
My favourite part of this place is the sort of makeshift look out tower, I can see as far when the doors are open to what ever is out there. I haven't really ventured out there much but guessing by the hidden hut I found in the woods I know there is a Maze out there waiting for me to solve to get back home.
But where is home? Do I actually have anyone out there waiting for me? Do I have a family? When I think of this a single name seems to come into my mind every time, Lydia! Who is she? A better I guess is who am I?
I lie on my hammock and look up through the hole in the gap and look at the stars shining through as the bangs and screeches start again, I think the same thought over and over again. Who am I?
I found a wall earlier with what appear to be at least 50 names on but none seem to be what I feel mine is, yet some did look familiar to me like Thomas, Minho and Newt but I couldn't seem to place why I knew them names.
As I drift off to sleep a face fills my dreams again, like they have done every night since I arrived here. Here strawberry blonde hair bouncing as she walks with confidence with her green eyes shining. She opens her mouth to speak but no sound comes out as she slowly backs away.
"Stay with me please!" I shout at her not wanting to be alone, something about been around her makes me feel safe and secure.
"Come home to me Stiles! STILES!!!" She screams so loud I have to cover my ears before I feel my eyes snap open.
Stiles! Ha that's my name! I'm Stiles!! I remember my name and there is no one to celebrate with.
Lydia POV
"Come home to me Stiles! STILES!!!" I feel myself scream as I jolt awake from my dream before rubbing the side of my head, that had felt so real I can't believe it was just a dream.
"Lydia, are you okay?" I hear Derek's voice coming from the front seat of the car as Rafael drove us towards the High School.
"Yeah sorry I just fell asleep and saw Stiles in my dreams again. This time was different though, I actually felt like I was stood with him but he looked so lost." I advise taking a few deep breathes as Rafael pulls the car into the car park.
"Maybe it wasn't a dream, but right now we can't focus on that. We were told to go back to the start and right here is the significant place we can all think of in relation with Stiles. So Derek, do you want to head off to the pool area while me and Lydia head and search the locker room?" Rafael advises as we all get out the car and start heading towards the school.
Derek nods his head before diverting off towards the swimming pool block while me and Rafael headed to the locker room. It's amazing that one place can hold so much history in the short amount of time you actually spend here.
"Are you okay? You don't have to go in, if it is too much I can do this alone." Rafael advises as I place my hand on the handle and freeze not sure if I can do this or not.
"You know this is the first place that I kissed him, it's also the first place we reunited after he returned from been taken. I confessed to him then that I loved him but I didn't even need to say the words, he knew already." I advise remembering the emotion I felt running into this room seeing him again.
"We will get him back, I promise you that Lydia." Rafael advises as he grabs my hand tightly within his and I momentarily believe him but something deep down is telling me this time we won't.
"If they did what Thomas says they did to him, what we saw them do to him. There is not going to be any of our Stiles left to remember. He won't remember any of us, he won't remember me or you or Scott or even his Dad." I state letting go of the door and feel myself start to break down and this time I can't stop it.
I feel Rafael wrap comforting arms around me as I struggle to breathe, am I having a panic attack? Is this what he felt like that day, like his head and heart were going to explode.
"Lydia, you listen to me now. Even if he doesn't remember any of us, you have to believe he remembers you. Your love for each other is nothing I have ever seen before, correct me if I was wrong but he was erased from existence yet you still managed to remember him and save him." Rafael advises as he holds me tightly in a hug as I feel my heart start to settle down.
"Your love can last over dimensions and Supernatural creatures I am sure it can last this also. If not we will make him remember, I am team Stydia at the end of the day!" Rafael jokes and I can't help but laugh at our couple names.
"Thank you! I needed to hear that, shall we see what we can find?" I state letting him go ready to face anything that we find inside.
I swing the door open and notice that everything is still the same as ever, Rafael diverts towards Coaches office as that is where he had came from when he saved Stiles so assumed that is the best place to start.
I head over to where the kiss had happened and notice familiar writing on the metal grate, as I look I can't help but smile at what it reads.
Here marks the spot that Stydia was started – this is a reminder that it was real and not a dream – MS+LM 4 EVA
I can't believe he actually did this, he really marked the spot of where this happened. If Coach ever saw that he would flay him alive! But this looks like it was recently written, the kiss happened years ago. Wait this is it! This is the message I am meant to find, when I see him in my dreams it is really him.
"Rafael I found my message, why Stiles sent me here. When I see him in my dreams it is actually him!" I shout before quickly taking a photo so I can show the others, I place my hand over it afterwards giving it a quick wish that I can get him back.
I notice Rafael hadn't answered me so I decide to find him but once I reach Coach's office I notice he isn't there any more. I look around the rest of the room and notice that he is just gone. I grab my phone and call Derek, his phone rings a few times before he finally picks up.
"Derek, is Rafael with you? He went to look in Coach's office and is now not there or anywhere else in the Locker Room." I ask as soon as he answers but he quickly cuts me off.
"Lydia, get to the pool area now. You need to see this!" Derek races out before hanging up the phone as I race over to the pool area, I notice as I cross the courtyard that Rafael car is still there so he couldn't have got far.
"Derek!" I shout as I arrive and I see him wave me over to the side of the pool as I look to see what has caught his attention so much. As I get next to him I feel all thoughts leave me as I look at the large poster stuck to the side of the wall.
