I'm the alpha now.

"Oh thank god you’re alive"

Alice stood up but proved to be a mistake. Coughing she fell to the ground. “Why. . Let me go. . Please, I’ve done nothing wrong.” 

Cora nodded, despite no one being able to see her do it, then lay down and breathed into the sleeve of her shirt. “Derek, you shouldn’t be here. I thought you got away..” She sighed before letting out another cough. Coughing so much was beginning to hurt her throat so each one sounded more painful than the last.

Paige coughed as she heard someone from another cell. “Hello?” She used her shirt to cover her mouth and nose  and kept to the ground. “Anyone?!” 

"Dammit… I can’t pick the lock" 

"Lock?" he found himself saying as he kept himself on the ground, trying his best not to inhale the wolfsbane that was ventilating.

Alice kept struggling with the chains but felt too weak. 

He felt the collar around his neck and narrowed his eyes, despite his pain at the ironic 'joke'. 

Cora sighed as her eyes adjusted to her surroundings, realizing that she was still in her cell. She was still trapped. But she did perk up slightly at the sound of Derek’s voice, sitting up instantly. “Derek? I-I, no. I’m fine, where—” She was cut off by the sudden urge to cough and clear her lungs after taking a deep breath. “Where are you?”

He heard her cough and then he realized almost instantly that the vent was poisoning them with wolfsbane. He quickly got to the ground and crawled towards the bars. "I'm in here," he coughs. Memories of him being poisoned not so long ago crept to mind. This isn't a good year -- or month for him at all. "Stay on your ground..." he cleared his throat, trying to get rid of the horrible taste on his tongue.

She smelled Derek’s scent and instantly perked up, looking around, “D-derek?”

"E-va?"

…What the hell happened to you?

"What's going on?" he felt groggy, like he was going through some massive hangover -- only, he doesn't get to have a hangover with his wolf genes.

He groans, shaking himself mentally but the wolfsbane in his system was slowly eating him alive.

After many hours of agony from the poisoned air, Cora had finally managed to rock herself to sleep in her cell, only to wake up later from a nightmare in a state of panic. “Derek?!”

Despite the giddiness and weakness he was feeling, the moment he heard his sister's voice, he struggles to stand up. "Cora? " His eyes glowed red for a split second. "Cora! Are you okay? Are you hurt?" 

I didn’t know, I swear I didn’t.

I wont leave. Not ever.

I promise you, Cora. I won't leave. Ever.
