The others watched as Derek and Scott tried to fight off the twins in their alpha form. Stiles looks down the hall and sees Cora lying unconscious. He taps Peter's shoulder.

"Help me." He says before looking toward Luisa, "Luisa."

"Yeah." She says before she and Peter follow after him. Ariane puts her gun behind her back in her waistband before following Luisa.

"Ethan, Aiden, stop! You don't know what you're doing." Scott says

"All we want is her." They growl

Ariane looks up as they drop Scott and run toward the door elevator. It was then that she realized they left Jennifer by herself to help Stiles.

"Shit."

______________________________________

Luisa pushes the door open with Peter following behind her and Cora on his shoulder. Everyone else rushing to follow behind them as they run through a room.

"Don't stop! Don't stop!" Derek yells as they push open another door, "Stiles!"

Luisa stops as she hears this. Peter running past her as Ariane comes to a stop in front of her.

"What?"

"Stiles." Luisa breathes. Ariane looks toward the door and realizes Derek, Scott, and Stiles haven't come through.

"Go, I'll grab him." She says, but Luisa hesitates, "Go!"

Luisa runs off in the direction Peter went as Ariane turns back toward the door. Scott turns to her as she runs in.

"What's going on?" She says

"I don't know." He says before they walk further into the room. Stiles hides on the other side of the door as the twins walk in. He comes up behind them and hits them on the head with the bat.

Ariane huffs as they simply turn to him and roar. He rushes to the other side of the room by Ariane, Scott and, Derek. Scott jumps up with Derek supporting him and rips the light off of the ceiling before hitting the twins with it.

Ariane grabs a hold of Stiles and pushes him toward the door.

______________________________________

They all finally caught up with each other as Peter opens another door. He walks in and places Cora on a table. Derek shuts the door behind them as they look around at each other.

"Where's the big guy?" Peter says

"He's close." Derek says looking out of the window

"What about Ms. Blake?" Stiles says. He looks towards Scott who shakes his head, "What do you mean? What does that mean? Like, she's gone? Scott, are you kidding me?"

"Shh, quiet." Derek snaps

"Me be quiet? Me, huh? Are you telling me what to do now?" He says walking closer, "When your psychotic, mass murdering girlfriend, the second one you've dated, by the way, has got my dad somewhere, tied up, waiting to be ritually sacrificed?"

"Stiles, they're still out there." Scott says

"And, and they want her, right? Which means now we don't have her either, so my dad and Cora are both dead!"

"Not yet." Scott says. He walks over to Cora, "Is she really dying?"

"She's definitely not getting any better." Peter says

"There has to be something that we can do. We have to help her."

"You can't." The others look over as Jennifer walks in, "Only I can. I can save her, and I can tell you where Sheriff Stilinski is. But there is a pack of alphas in this hospital who want me dead. So I'll help you, but only when I'm out of here and safe. Only then."

Derek takes no time in rushing towards her, but Scott stops him, "Derek, wait!"

"She was trying to get out."

"I was trying to keep from getting killed. You can't blame me for that."

"If you want to show you're one of the good guys, then heal her." Stiles says

"Not until I'm safe."

"And we're actually going to believe her?" Ariane says

"I'd like to volunteer a different method of persuasion. Let's torture her." Peter says

"Torture?" Luisa exclaims

"Works for me." Derek says trying to walk forward again, but stops as they hear the intercom.

"Um, can I have your attention? Mr. Deucalion... excuse me, just Deucalion, Requests you bring the woman calling herself Jennifer Blake to the E.R. reception. Do this, and everyone else can leave. You have ten minutes."

They all recognize the voice to be Melissa.

"He's not gonna hurt her." Jennifer says

"Shut up." Derek and Ariane say at the same time

"He won't! Scott, you know why. Tell them it's true."

"What does she mean?"

"You're not the only one he wants in his pack."

"Scott, you not giving an answer, doesn't help any of us." Ariane snaps

"Deucalion doesn't just want an Alpha pack. He wants perfection. That means adding the rarest of alphas to his ranks."

"A true Alpha." Peter says

"What's that?" Luisa asks

"The kind that doesn't have to steal his power from another. One that can rise by the force of his own will. Our little Scott."

"It doesn't matter. We still need to get her out of here." Scott says

"Scott, your mom-"

"My mom said there's one more ambulance coming in 20 minutes. And I don't think we've been here that long, so if we can get down to the garage, get to the last ambulance, we can get out of here."

"The twins aren't gonna let us just walk out." Peter says

"I'll distract them."

"You mean fight them." Derek says

"Whatever I have to do."

"I'll help you."

"Um, sorry, but I'm not going anywhere without you, Derek." Jennifer says. Ariane sighs from beside Luisa.

"I'll do it. But I'd prefer to be out there with an advantage." Peter says

"An advantage like what? You mean like a weapon?" Stiles says

"Something better than a baseball bat."

______________________________________

Now everyone was trashing the hospital room looking for some kind of weapon that would be effective against an alpha. It was safe to say they were coming up short.

"Hey, wait. What about these?" Stiles says holding up defibrillators

"Do you know how to use those?" Derek says

"Well, no."

"Then put them down." Ariane says not even sparing him a glance

"Epinephrine?" Scott says

"That's only gonna make him stronger." Derek says

Peter looks over, "How strong?"

______________________________________

While Peter and Scott were fighting off the twins, the others were hauling Cora to the ambulance. Luisa was praying it was still there.

"It's still here!" Stiles yells as he pushes the doors open. He and Luisa rush to open the ambulance doors as Derek walked over with Cora. Stiles steps into the ambulance to help Derek set Cora on the stretcher.

"Derek, over here." Jennifer says. As Derek walks over to her, Ariane turns to Luisa.

"Get in." She says

"What about you?"

"Julia. It is you." They hear Kali say from the front of the ambulance

"Get in and don't come out until I come back for you." Ariane says guiding her in the ambulance, "Stiles."

"Got it." He says as he takes Luisa's hand and pulls her onto the other side of him. Jennifer runs past her. As Kali roars, Ariane slams the doors shut and runs into the hospital with Derek. They go to run down the hall, but Jennifer stops them.

"Wait, wait! The elevator!"

Ariane and Derek look down the hall and see Kali running toward them. Derek pushes a stretcher into her to try and slow her down. It doesn't do much, so Ariane pulls him into the elevator. They hurry to push the button and the doors close right before Kali can reach them.

They breathe heavily as they lean against the walls. Derek looks over at Ariane whose eyes were already closed.

Her eyes fly open as the elevator stops. The lights flicker slightly as it goes silent. Only the sound of their heavy breathing can be heard.
