that was the last thing he’d been expecting to hear . they’d all been attempting to figure out what was happening & to find a way out of here , but he should’ve known it wasn’t going to be as easy as that . upon her words , he practically froze in his spot . his mind immediately shifted to cora ; this had to happen & just drag her right back into the supernatural world when she’d managed to get away . he even thought of malia —— whilst she was first & foremost a tate ( which he was hoping meant she was out of the equation ) but she still had hale blood . lydia didn’t even have to actually say the words for him to understand . saying they were in trouble only meant one thing coming from a banshee . he wanted to say they’d just have to figure a way out of here before then , but optimism was never his thing . they technically had up until halloween at the very latest , but for all they knew , this could be going down tomorrow . he simply shook his head as she struggled to get out an apology . ❛ we have to figure out what this means , lydia . ❜ code for she had to . she was the only one with the ability to . he didn’t want to push the subject , especially when she was already so freaked about it , but he didn’t want to die . he didn’t want cora or malia to . even peter . ❛ have you told scott about this yet ? anybody else ? ❜
lydia was FAR from stupid --- there was no ‘we’ that he spoke of, because she was the only one that would be able to figure out what was happening ; to find more details, a visual. “i’m working on it,” the redhead ensures, despite the fact that although she’d become more in control, and unlocked more of what exactly she was capable of --- there wasn’t a promise that the banshee would be able to find out much more information. “it’s all very, new information and i think i need to go into things with a clear less --- frantic mindset.” lydia explains, gaze lingering on derek, carefully glued to his every movement as she analyzed his actions. “i will do everything i can, derek.” her words are nothing but honest, sincere. “i would never forgive myself if ---” cutting herself off, sucking her lower lip briefly inward as the words struggle to escape her. “all i’m saying is, i have a lot to lose here too, we all do.” scott thought he lost derek once, and it almost KILLED him, that was pressure enough for lydia to try to put a stop to whatever this is, whatever was happening. plus, if malia was in any way at risk, the mere idea of something happening her sent a churning sensation of D O O M in the pit of lydia’s stomach. “no,” shaking her head, fingers come to intertwine with eachother. “i came straight to YOU, i thought you should be first to hear the news, from me.”
