Blake's outfit
Chapter Seventy-One
🌒 The Last Chimera 🌘
Blake pulled up to the woods and instantly jumped out if her car after grabbing a flashlight. She shined it around trying to see if she could see anything, "Lydia! Lydia!" She called out but got nothing back making her sigh before picking a random direction to run in.
She stopped after a few minutes to catch her breath. "Come on Lyds. Where are you?" She mumbled and then an idea crossed her mind. She took a deep breath, closing her eyes. She only let Lydia cloud her thoughts but before anything could happen she heard someone call out her name.
Her eyes snapped open and she turned around to see Parrish walking over to her, "What are you doing out here?" He asked.
"Looking for Lydia. What are you doing?" She asked, "Looking for Lydia too." He answered making her look at him confused. "How do you know Lydia's out here?" She asked and he sighed, "I don't really know how to explain it but I saw you guys." He said making her furrow her brows, "You saw us?" She asked and he nodded. "Please don't ask, I'd rather not say it." He said making her raise her eyebrows.
"Okay, I won't ask. For now." She said and then sighed, "Now we just need to find Lydia." She said and he nodded. "Right, how are we going to so that?" He asked, "Well, since you saw us that means whatever you are, you're spiritually connected to us. So, we'll be able to find her." She said and he just looked at her confused, "Okay but how?" He asked and she held her hands out.
"Give me your hands." She said and he raise his eyebrows, "What?" He asked and she rolled her eyes. "Just give me your damn hands Deputy." She said and he sighed, "Are you ever gonna stop calling me Deputy?" He asked as he put his hands in hers. "Fine, I'll call you Hot Shot. Now, close your eyes and only think about Lydia and about finding her." She said and he nodded before doing what she said.
They stood like that for a minute until they both opened their eyes. His eyes glowed a fiery orange while her's were completely white. They both subconsciously turned in a direction and started walking as if they were in a trance.
They stopped walking and they're eyes went back to normal and that's when they saw Lydia lying on the ground. "Lydia!" Blake yelled before running over to her.
🌒
"Scott, wake up. Scott-" Blake said as she lightly shook Scott who was laying on the floor in the hallway. He wakes up and Blake helps him onto his hands and knees so he can sit up. The already worried Blake looks even more concerned when she notices that Scott's chest wound has already bled through the new bandage Scott put on it, causing a red stain to bloom on his white shirt
"Are you okay?" She asked worriedly and he nodded, "Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine." Scott and she is clearly unconvinced as she stares at the growing stain on Scott's shirt. "You're bleeding again." She said making him look down before covering the spot with his jacket, "It's not that bad." He said and that's when he notices Parrish crouched down next to her and the slight tears in Blake's eyes.
"Why are you here? What's wrong?" Scott asks and Parrish and Blake both sigh, glancing at each other, "We need your help." Parrish said making Scott look at them confused. "With what?"
"With her." Parrish says and stands up and steps aside to reveal the catatonic Lydia, who is standing at the top of the staircase. Her head is lolling on her shoulder as she stares blankly ahead, and its obvious by the sight of her that her body is only working on "autopilot" at this point. Scott is horrified by her condition and immediately begins to worry about Lydia's well-being as he turns back to the grim-looking Parrish and Blake.
"We found her out in the woods. She was practically hypothermic." Blake said and Parrish nodded, "That wasn't even the worse part." Parrish said then held up Lydia's hand to show he finger nails were all bloody. "She had carved something with her fingers into a rock." Blake said, "It's a badge. It's a Sheriff's badge."
"No... It's a warning."
🌒
Scott and Blake frantically push open the double doors at the entrance to the hospital's emergency room, holding them open for Parrish, who is holding Lydia's now-unconscious body in his arms and is clearly desperate to get her medical attention as soon as possible. "Help! Get someone to help me! Quick! I need help. I've got an eighteen-year-old female, potentially hypothermic."
Some nurses rush over with a gurney and Parrish sets Lydia down on it. Scott runs over to the elevator while Blake stays with Parrish and Lydia. She looks up briefly and connects eyes with Scott and nods slightly making him nod back as the doors of the elevator closes.
Scott walked into a hall and see Stiles talking to Melissa and Dr. Geyer through a door, "What do you mean, "You don't know?" Two hours ago, he was fine! Now it looks like somebody took a baseball bat to his neck." Stiles stressed. "There could've been some minor internal-" Dr. Geyer tried to explain but Stiles cut him off.
"Did you say "minor internal?" Since when is anything internal minor?"
"Stiles-"
"I need to know what's going on with him, okay? Dr. Geyer, somebody needs to tell me what's happening. Somebody needs to tell me what's happening to him!"
"We don't know..."
Just as Stiles is prepared to argue with the doctor further, the elevator at the end of the hall dings, and he looks up to see that Scott has just stepped out and was looking through the window of Stilinski's door. Stiles immediately forgets all about his argument with Dr. Geyer in favor of lunging toward Scott and yelling at him as he grabs him by the front of the shirt and slams him against the wall.
Scott does nothing to defend himself and allows Stiles to tackle him onto the ground without interference. Stiles slams Scott's back against the linoleum floor and pins him down, "Where were you!? You trusted him? You believed him? Right? Huh? So, WHERE WERE YOU?"
Melissa and Dr. Geyer waste no time rushing over to the two, with Dr. Geyer yanking Stiles off of Scott while Melissa helps her son to his feet.
Stiles struggles against Dr. Geyer's hold and attempts to lunge for Scott again, still yelling, "Where the hell were you???"
"Stop it!"
The second Stiles, realizing he's making a scene, stops attempting to break free from Dr. Geyer's grip, though he's still furious. Scott looks at Stiles with an apologetic expression, visibly hurt by Stiles' anger as well as feeling guilty for what happened to Sheriff Stilinski. "Your dad's not the only one who got hurt-" Scott said and Stiles scoff, "Oh, you'll heal!"
"I'm not talking about me." Scott said making Stiles look at him for a moment.
A second later Stiles runs out of the elevator to see Natalie trying to push Blake out a room. "I know who did this! You! All of you! Get out!" Natalie yelled as Blake looked up at her, shocked with tears in her eyes. "Natalie, you know me! You know I would never do anything to her! She's my best friend!" Blake yelled as she grabbed onto the door way, not caring if people were looking.
"No, all I know is that the second she started hanging out with you and your friends she's constantly getting hurt! No more Blake." Natalie said and a couple tears fell down Blake's face as Stiles slowly walked up to the room. "This wasn't my fault! Stop pretending that you don't know what going on, we both know you do." Blake said and Natalie just grabbed Blake's hands making her let go of the door way, "Just go Blake."
"Look at the back of her neck!" Blake said as Natalie finally managed to push Blake fully out of the room before slamming the door shut. Blake stared at the door as tears fell down her face while Stiles slowly walked up to her. He wrapped his arms around her shoulders, pulling her back to his chest while her and went up to hold onto his arms.
He gently kissed the top of her head making her bite her lip and let out a shaky breath before turning around and pressing her face into his chest. He tightened his arms around her and pulled her as close as he possibly could, both of them needing each other's comfort.
🌒
"It could be a side effect of shock." Parrish said as him, Blake, Stiles, Scott and Melissa stood around in the morgue. "No, she's catatonic. It was Theo digging his way through her mind." Blake said in a slight pissed off tone at the thought of Theo. "Why would he do that? What is he looking for?" Melissa asked.
"The same thing he's always looking for- an advantage." Scott said, "So what did he gain by trying to kill Stilinski?" Parrish asked and Scott sighed. "It left me alone with Liam. Theo wanted to make sure no one would be there to stop him from... killing me." He said and Stiles scoffed.
"Okay, so he gutted my dad as a distraction?" He asked and Blake grabbed his hand, intertwining their fingers making him lightly squeeze her hand. "We need to find this kid." Parrish said and Blake nodded, "Yes please so I can make him eat my shoe."
"Isn't that a little dangerous? Especially since he almost killed my kid?" Melissa asked and Stiles sighed slightly, "Yeah, but he said he didn't want my dad to die." Stiles said and Parrish looked at him crazy. "And you believe him?"
"He told me where to find him... So, maybe he also knows how to save him." Stiles said shrugging, "What do you want to do? Talk to him?" Melissa asked. "If it saves my dad, then yeah." Stiles said and Scott nodded slightly, "I'll come with you. He doesn't know that I'm alive- maybe that gives us an advantage."
"He'll know you're there. I just need to talk to him, not fight him." Stiles said and went to walk away but Blake was still holding his hand so she stopped him and pulled him back over. "Stiles, you can't go alone." Blake said shaking her head, "Does anyone even know how to find him?" Parrish asked.
"We don't have to find him- he'll come to me." Stiles said and walked out, this time pulling Blake with him. "You're probably gonna get mad at me for saying this but maybe you shouldn't come." Stiles said as they stopped a few feet away from the morgue, expecting her to argue but she just nodded.
"That's probably the best option. If I see him I'll probably shove a pencil in his eye." She said making him let out a breathy chuckle, "God I love you." He said making her smile, "How many times are you going to say that now?" She asked and he smiled. "At least ten times a day." He said and she chuckled before pulling him down into a kiss.
"Please be careful. He did technically kill Scott." She said in a slight whisper and he nodded, "I will." He said and then a thought crossed his mind. "We are back together right?" He asked and she nodded, "Uh, yeah. Definitely." She said and he smiled and quickly pressing a kiss to her forehead before pulling away from her.
Scott walked out of the morgue and the two awkwardly walked down the hall together. Parrish walked out a second later and walked over to Blake, "I'm going to check on Lydia, want to come with? And don't worry, I won't let Natalie touch you." He said and she nodded before they both walked to the elevator.
"So, how did you see us?" Blake asked as the doors closed, "Please don't make me say it." He said making her raise her eyebrows. "Well now that I know you don't want to say, I have to know now." She said and he groaned.
"You're not gonna give up until I tell you aren't you?" He asked and she shook her head, "Of course not." She said and he nodded and rubbed his face before looking around. "I... I saw you guys... In the shower." He said and she bit her lip trying not to laugh.
"You saw us in the shower?" She asked as she couldn't help but laugh, "Stop laughing." He groaned making her laugh anymore. "Oh god this is gold." She laughed, "You're never gonna let this down are you?" He asked and she shook her head, "Of course not."
"How are you not concerned about the fact that not only did I see Lydia but I also saw you in the shower?" He asked and she pursed her lips and tilted her head a bit. "Were we naked?" She asked and he slowly nodded making her hum, "I'm more wondering weather or not are bodies actually looked correct and good." She said and he looked at her crazy. "Seriously?" He asked and she shrugged.
"What?!? If my friend is gonna invision me naked I'd at least want to look good." She said and he shook his head, "You're crazy." He said and she shrugged and nodded. "It runs in the family. Also, don't tell Stiles about any of this. We literally just confessed our love for each other and got back together, I'd prefer it not to be weird." She said and he nodded as the doors opened.
"Just two signatures, Ms. Martin." Dr. Fenris says quickly when he heard the elevator ding and Parrish call out to Natalie. "I promise I'll look after her personally." He said and Natalie nodded as she sighed the papers. "She'll be safe there." He said and the second she sighed the last thing he walked off.
"What did you just sign?" Blake asked as she and Parrish walked up to Natalie, "She'll be safe there." Natalie said slightly dazed making Blake look at Parrish alarmed.
"Natalie what the hell did you just do?" Blake asked and Natalie gives Blake and Parrish a hard look. "I did what I had to do." She said making Blake's heart sink and tears cloud her vision.
"You signed her into Eichen house?!" Blake asked and Parrish grabbed her shoulder but she shrugged him off. "Natalie what the hell?!? What in your right mind made you think she would be safe there?! Do you forget that your mother-in-law was murdered in that fucking place? And now you just signed your daughter into that place?!?" Blake yelled as tears started to fall down her face.
"Blake." Parrish said trying to get her to calm down but she just stared at Natalie who wouldn't look at her. "Maybe you should go into Eichen because you're out of your god damn mind." Blake said making Natalie look at her, "This was the best option for her Blake." She said before walking into Lydia's room.
Blake let out a shaky breath as she bright the back of her hand up to her mouth while tears fell. Parrish grabbed her shoulder and turned to him before bringing her into a hug.
🌒
Dr. Fenris, Schrader and Natalie are in the middle of loading the still-catatonic Lydia into the back of an ambulance to be transferred to Eichen House. Parrish stands behind the ambulance next to Blake with his arm around her shoulders and looks at Natalie with an upset expression as she climbs into the back with her daughter.
"We're going to find a way to get her out of there... Even if we have to break through the walls." Parrish says and Dr. Fenris, who is preparing to go around the vehicle to get into the passenger seat, just gives Parrish and Blake a skeptical look. "Good luck with that, Deputy."
Blake stared at Natalie with a tear stained face and slightly shakes her head, "Congratulations Natalie." Blake said making Natalie look over at her, "You might as well have just signed your daughter's life away." She said before wiping away a tear and walking away and straight to her car.
🌒
"Where is he?" Blake asked the second she walked into the house making Scott and Stiles look up at her. Stiles instantly shot up when he noticed her tear stained face and her hands were shaking due to the anger, "Who?" He asked. "Theo. Where is he?" She asked and Scott stood up, "He left a minute ago, why?" He asked and Blake looked at him.
"Because I'm going to kill him." She said and went to walk out but Stiles grabbed her and made her turn to him, "Woah woah woah. What happened?" He asked and her eyes started to turn glossy again. "Because of him, Lydia is catatonic! And- and Natalie just put her Eichen House." She said making Scott and Stiles's eyes widen.
"So now I'm going to kill him. Brutality." She said and went to walk away again but Stiles grabbed her and pulled her over to the stairs. "Okay, you need to sit down and try to calm down for a minute before you actually kill someone." He said as he sat down, pulling her with him. He wrapped his arms around her and brought her back to his chest.
"I'm still going to kill him." She said as she leaned the back of her head on his shoulder. "And I don't doubt that." Stiles said as she started to calm down, "Want to help me save my dad?" He asked and she took a deep breath and nodded. "Yeah."
Stiles and Blake climb into a car and Scott runs over and try's to open the door but it's locked. "Stiles-" Scott goes to say but Stiles cuts him off, "We can do the rest ourselves." He says and Scott is clearly hurt by Stiles' dismissive behavior. Blake just slightly slouches down in her seat feeling like a kid when their parents are fighting.
"You don't even know where to start. All we know is that it's another Chimera. Do you even know where you're headed?" Scott asked and Stiles just starts the car, "Come on, let me help. I can find the clues that you can't." Scott says. Stiles just rolls his eyes slightly and goes to move forward but Scott jumps in front of the car making Blake eyes widen, "And I thought I was crazy." She muttered.
"You can't do this alone, okay? You need me. You need all of us." Scott says and Blake looked over at Stiles who wouldn't look at Scott, "I can get more help. I can text Liam." Scott said making Stiles squint at him. "Liam just tried to kill you." Stiles said and Scott sighed, "Okay, then at least let me help."
Stiles look at Scott with an expression of betrayal making Blake reach over to grab his hand. "You believed him?" Stiles asked and Scott gives him a half-apologetic, and half-knowing look. "You trusted him, too. Theo got to all of us." Scott said making Blake scoff and raise her eyebrows, "Wanna run that by me again? Cause I'm pretty sure I openly voiced my hatred and distrust for him every chance I got."
"You know, you don't even know the real story." Stiles muttered, "I don't need to. All that matters right now is your dad." Scott said and Stiles didn't say anything, just looked over at Blake. "Come on, Stiles. We survived an Alpha Pack, a Dark Druid, professional assassins... We can survive Dread Doctors and Chimeras, too." Scott said and then realization crossed over Stiles's features.
"We're not looking for a missing Chimera... We're looking for a missing teenager." He says and then the sound the doors unlocking made him look over at Blake making her smile sheepishly. "Love you." She said as Scott ran over and opened the back door making Stiles sigh before driving.
🌒
"There was a call a few hours ago about a sophomore from Beacon Hill High who never came home last night." Stiles said as they stood around his crime board. "What's his name?" Blake asked, looking over at him, "Noah Patrick." He said and then they looked at the list of genetic chimeras that the Sheriff's Department created to see "Noah Patrick" second on the list.
A few minutes later the three of them walk into the school and went straight over to Noah's locker. Scott grabbed the lock and broke it off before opening the locker and pulled out a jacket. "Now we can catch his scent." Scott said and Blake have them two thumbs up.
Scott then turned around and tosses the jacket to Malia who walked up to them. "You called her?" Stiles asked, awkwardly glancing at Malia while Scott nodded. "We need all the help that we can get. I should be calling everyone." Scott said and Malia nodded slightly, "And I know what this kid looks like." She said and Stiles awkwardly looked away from them.
"This isn't gonna be awkward between you and I is it?" Blake asked quietly as she walked up to Malia while they all walked outside. "You dated him first and had to watch him and I be together for a while so I can't really complain." Malia shrugged making Blake hum slightly.
"Is it just me or is it slightly weird hoe were cousin and we both dated Stiles?" Blake whispered making Malia chuckle slightly and shake her head.
🌒
They ran into the railway depot and Stiles and Blake hung back a bit while Scott and Malia talked. "How much you wanna bet that they would start dating?" Blake whispered as she looked at Scott and Malia making Stiles look at her weird, "Seriously?" He asked and she just shrugged.
"So how are you?" He asked making her look at him, "With the whole Lydia thing right now." He said making her sigh. "I really want to shove a rusted metal pipe down Theo's throat." She said and he nodded slightly, "Yeah, you and me both."
Blake looked away and got a distant look on her face as her mind went back to Lydia. "Hey." Stiles said as he grabbed her hand making her look at him again, "We'll get her out of that place." He said and she sighed. "I know, it just matters when and what might happen between now and then. But right now, let's just focus on your dad." She said as they turned a corner and Malia suddenly stopped as there was a gush of wind.
"I got it. I got his scent!" Malia said and
Scott, Blake and Stiles share a look before they follow Malia as she rushes through the tunnels. "This is Noah's. He was here. I think he's close." Malia said after they found some blood on a pipe.
"Guys..." Scott said making them all look over at him as he look down another hall of the tunnels, "I think we've been down tunnels like this before. Like, when we were trying to find Liam and Hayden." Scott said. "Okay, so what?" Stiles asked as they walked over to Scott.
"Maybe it means we're closer than we think. Maybe there's something else down here- something that we haven't found yet." Scott said and Stiles looked at him slightly crazy, "Yeah, nothing that helps my dad. Look, we can't just be standing around here waiting for something to-"
Suddenly, before Stiles can finish his statement, a shadowy figure lunges at Stiles, shoving him so hard that he flies backward and hits his head on the far wall, which once again knocks him slightly unconscious. Blake shot forward grabbing the person who hit Stiles by the back of their shirt before slamming them into the wall with her forearm presses to their chest.
"Try to fight me and I'll punch you in the face." Blake warned making the guy freeze slightly. Malia steps up behind Blake with her fangs out, growling. Noah looked back and forth between the two girls terrified. "Let me go, please! Please! They're coming!" Noah begged.
Blake looked over at Scott and a now awake Stiles just as the skittering, clicking noise of the Dread Doctors can be heard in the adjacent halls, indicating that they are getting closer and closer to where they are.
Blake sighs before letting Noah go and he instantly took off. But then Stiles aggressively grabs him by the front of the shirt and pins Noah to the nearby wall by putting his forearm forcefully against his throat. "You're not going anywhere."
"I said I don't remember." Noah groaned, breathing heavily. "You don't remember anything?" Stiles asked frustratingly, "No. Not when it happens- not when I change."
"You clawed my dad half to death, okay? And now it's poisoning him. You're gonna start remembering every detail right now!"
Meanwhile, Scott, Blake and Malia, who in a defensive position in between Stiles and Noah and the adjacent hall, start to look nervous as the clicking and skittering noises get louder. "Guys, I hear them." Malia said and they nodded, "Yeah, I do too."
"Hey, Stiles- get him out of here. Go to the hospital. Figure out a way to save your dad. Blake go with them." Scott said and Blake nodded and went to move but Stiles stays where he is, and Malia looks at Scott crazy. "We're not gonna be able to stop them!"
"But we can slow them down." Scott said and then give Blake a look making her nod before going over to Stiles and Noah. "Hey, come on. We gotta get moving." Blake said and he glanced back at her before reluctantly lets go of Noah's windpipe and the three of them run down the tunnel.
They rushed down one of the other tunnels, only to find that the exit is blocked by a gate that has a locked chain wrapped around it making Stiles looks both frustrated and exasperated. "Step back. I think I can break through." Noah said making them look at him with raised eyebrows, "It's just... sometimes- most of the time- I lose control. So, you guys better step back." He said and Blake nodded slightly before pulling Stiles back and behind her.
"Fair warning if you attack us I will making you eat concrete."
Stiles and Blake watches in shock as Noah extends the bone claws from his wrists and the tops of his hands. "What the fuck kind of fucked up wolverine shit-" Blake mumbled as Noah groans in discomfort as his face transforms as well, causing the sockets around his eyes to sink in and turn a pale bruise color.
He then uses his claws in conjunction with his super strength to break through the chain before then wrenching the sides of the gate open, giving Stiles the opportunity to look closer at his bone claws. He notices that one of them has had the tip snapped off and suddenly realizes something just as Noah turns around making Blake grab Stiles's arm just in case, "Let's go."
Stiles and Blake glance at each other for a moment before Stiles spoke up, "I know what's happening to my dad." He said making her eyes widen. "What?" She asked as he pulled his phone out, "A piece of Noah's bone is broken. I think it's inside my dad."
Moments later, Scott, Blake, Malia and Argent run into the hospital making Melissa stand up and give them a nod. They all sigh in relief, knowing that Stilinki is okay.
