At first it sounds like buzzing, and Lydia feels the familiar weight of dread in her chest. She tries to ignore it but it follows her for days, in the echo of the hallway at school or above the steady sound of her engine in the car.
Then it begins to sound more like a vibration, like something slicing the air. It’s two tones, one like a string being plucked and another like the purr of something flying.
She realizes it’s Allison’s bow.
The ping of the string and the whir of the arrow. Lydia feels each phantom arrow as if it was sinking into her heart.
Steadily, slowly, it turns into her voice.
“Lydia, can you hear me?”
“Lydia, can you help me?”
She can. She will.
or AU where Lydia can hear Allison & tries to get her back.
