Kira and Scott arrived at school in the pouring rain. They took refuge under the bridge that lead to the athletic fields, "We're not late, are we?" Kira asked him as they ran through the bridge.

"No, they're on their way." Scott told her with a smile on his face. He had to admit their relationship was still new for him, but at the same time he was very happy.

"What are you smiling at?" Kira asked him, when she noticed the face Scott was making.

"You." Scott replied easily as they kiss some more.

Only for the glowing talon creature to show up and throwing Scott to the ground.


Close to the school entrance, Stiles and Micah were waiting to hear from the others, "Nothing from Scott or Kira." Micah informed her as they watched more students walk into the building.

"And nothing from Landon either." Stiles included in a dissatisfied tone.

"And I still don't know if I passed." Micah shared, looking at his phone, "I don't want to do this unless I'm actually a senior."

"Yeah." Stiles muttered, looking around obviously not paying attention to anything Micah had said. Instead, she was becoming more anxious the longer they stood outside.

"What's wrong with you?" Micah asked her worriedly, noticing the change of smell in her pheromones, "You smell terrible."

"Yeah, it's called anxiety." Stiles confessed with a defeated sigh, "Should be a familiar scent for you by now, since it's pretty much a constant state for me."

"Why's this thing so important to you?" Micah asked, with a curious expression.

"It's not." Stiles replied to quickly, "It's not." Micah gave her a look that indicated that he knew she was lying, "It's uh... I don't know." She stammered over words, "Maybe it is. I asked my dad the other day about his high school friends. Guess how many he still talks to?"

"None?" Micah guessed.

"Not a single one." Stiles told him, "You know, these were his best friends and he just says he lost touch with them, you know." Stiles stated clearly upset, "So I started thinking about things, like I always do."

"Obsessively." Micah inputted.

"Yeah. And so I'm thinking, what if... What if Scott's my best friend now you know, but he's not my best friend for life?"

"Well, doesn't that just happen sometimes?" Micah asked. Even though he had gained some prospects of a normal life, there were still somethings that he didn't get.

"Yeah, but only because we let it happen." Stiles pointed out to him, "You know, that's what I'm saying. How come when we graduate we're just expected to go our separate ways? If I've already found the best people in my life, why aren't I not trying to stay with them, you know."

"Well, I thought that was the plan." Micah reminded her, "The dream. The vision."

"Don't mock the vision." Stiles told him, sensing the teasing tone that was coming from Micah, "I get enough of that from your cousin and the other two."

It was at the mentioning of the members who were no longer in Beacon Hills it clicked for Micah, "You miss them."

Stiles had been missing Allison Argent and Isaac Lahey ever since they had gone off to Chris Argent and the Calaveras on their quest to find the rouge Kate Argent. Derek had agreed to go along as well, but also decided help Braeden finding more information about the Desert Wolf, who was supposed to be Micah's mother.

She kept in contact with Allison and Isaac, even though they had been gone for the past six months, but it still wasn't the same. Despite there being peace of the past couple of months, Stiles couldn't get rid of this feeling that things weren't going to be the same.

"So that's why you wanted everyone who is still here here tonight." Micah concluded, "Because you don't want to lose all your friends after senior year."

"And I hope they don't want to lose me either." Stiles confessed softly.

Micah had a look of understanding on his face, but that changed quickly when he began sensing someone coming towards them, "What's wrong?" Stiles asked him, noticing tension that Micah began to display.

"Someone's coming." Micah told her, "Someone fast. Get ready."

Micah turned around with his palm out, just as Liam appeared rushing right into Micah's opened palm, resulting in him being shoved into the ground hard.

"Oh, my God." Stiles breathed, making sure no one saw what happened, "Liam, what are you doing here?" Stiles asked while Micah helped him up.

"Scott's in trouble." Liam warned her.


Under the bridge, the creature had got the best of Scott, "True Alpha?" The creature mocked at him, as he threw Scott into the wall, "Where's your power, Scott?"

"Who are you?" Scott questioned him as he fell to the ground.

"A devoted fan." It answered him. The creature had been so focused on attacking Scott that he had completely forgotten about Kira, who was standing on the sidelines. Seeing Scott down, Kira undid the belt that was latched around her waist and it smoothly revealed to be her sword.

While the creature was off guard she does manage to get him by surprise, swinging her sword in his direction, knocking him away from Scott. The creature made a low growling sound at the sudden attack and proceeded to attack Kira.

Kira does manage to avoid a couple of swipes from the talons with her sword, but in the end the creature found an exposed spot and managed to knock Kira away.

Seeing Kira down, the creature turned his attention back to Scott, "Show me the man who took down Deucalion and broke the Argents." It declared at him, "I came for that Alpha."

The fight started up again, but this time both Scott and Kira fought together trying to hold the creature back. But it was useless as the creature was able to best the both of them, "And I didn't come here just to claim your status." It told Scott as he threw Kira to the side.

As he neared Scott, a roar echoed through the bridge. All three fighters turned towards the end of the bridge and noticed third werewolf appeared.

He charged at the creature without hesitation in attempts to take down the creature. He does gets in a couple of good slashing blows by getting the creature in the arm, but was ultimately thrown aside close to Kira.

The creature comes for Scott again, but unable to fully fight from the previous assault Scott found himself getting embedded talons in his gut. Kira and the other wolf watch in horror as Scott's eyes go from glowing red back to normal and he was weakened.

He dropped to his knees just as Micah, Stiles and Liam materialized at the entrance of the tunnel. From the ground, Scott and Stiles both made eye contact. Seeing Scott on the ground, Stiles' eyes widened as they began taking on their own glow as she stared dangerously at the creature.

The creature watched the exchanged between the two and witnessed Scott's eyes began glow red again as Scott grabbed the creatures arm and broke it, breaking off the talons in the process.

In pain, the creature fell to ground, this time with Scott standing over him, "I don't know who you are or what you thought you were going to do, but I'll give you a choice." Scott told him with his eyes still glowing red, "You can stay and I'll break something else." He threatened, "Or you can run."

The creature looked over in Stiles' direction. Her eyes flickering before returning to their natural color, but she does tell him, "I'd run."

The creature in the end does choose to turn tail and run. The remaining members of the pack all recuperate, until the other werewolf cleared his throat, reminding them of his presence.

This time he was in his human form, revealing to be the guy Kira saw on the road, "You don't remember me, do you?" He asked them, directing his question to Scott and Stiles, "I guess I look a little different since the fourth grade." He said with a knowing smirk on his face.

"Theo?" Scott questioned shocked.

"You know him?" Micah whispered to Stiles not exactly sure what he should do in the situation.

"We used to." Stiles voiced, with a surprised expression on her face, giving him a look over.

"Trust me, I never thought I'd see you guys again." Theo euthanased, "Couple of months ago, I heard of an Alpha in Beacon Hills. When I found out his name was Scott McCall, I just couldn't believe it." Theo explained to them, "Not just an Alpha, but a True Alpha."

"What do you want?" Stiles asked, not hiding the suspicion in her voice.

"I came back to Beacon Hills." Theo explained, sensing the hostility, "Back home with my family." This time he looked over towards Scott, "Because I want to be a part of your pack."

At the declaration, the face of suspicion quickly changed into the face of shock on Stiles' face.


Later in the school hallway, "We haven't seen this kid in years." Stiles reminded Scott as they were making their way to their senior event, "You don't find that highly suspicious?"

"I'm kind of more concerned about the guy who just tried to kill me." Scott reminded her. Stiles does give him 'you got a point' gesture. The sound of a cell phone vibrated and Micah pulled out his phone to see a notification, stopping in the hall.

"I'm in." Micah whispered as he read over his screen, "I passed." He announced a lot louder to the others, getting their attention, "I'm officially a senior."

Just as they were about celebrate Micah's big accomplishment, another voice surrounded them, "Thank God." They turned to see Landon walking toward them with feigned expression of frustration on his face, "Where have you guys been? The whole senior class is here." He chastised them, "Are we doing this or not?"

Inside the library, the remaining members found themselves waiting in line near an empty bookcase. Stiles was the first one to sign, but before she did her eyes fell on all the others initials that were placed before them.

One particular, D.H, caught her eyes. She smiled slightly at the signature.

I seriously miss you Stiles sent through the link.

I miss you too A voice responded back. Stiles smiled a bit at the response and proceeded to write her initials.

Next up was Micah as he too looked over the initials of previous students of BHHS. He quickly wrote out M as his first initial and took a second to contemplate over the second part. With a proud smile he added the letter T without hesitation, ignoring his true father Peter Hale.

Following up Micah was Kira, "This isn't vandalism, is it?"

"Not technically." Landon answered standing beside Stiles. This seemed to be enough as Kira marked on the bookcase next to the others.

Finally, it was Scott's turn as he signed his initials, he looked over and could see Stiles wearing a solemn expression on her face. A thought came to him as he added AA for Allison Argent and IL for Isaac Lahey.

Seeing the gesture Stiles smiled a bit, "Can I see that again?" Scott handed her the sharpie without question as Stiles walked back to the bookcase.

Wordlessly, she also included the initials of VB for Vernon Boyd and ER for Erica Reyes, "They would have been with us." Stiles explained to them in a quiet tone.

"Yeah." Landon agreed with her throwing his arm over her shoulder as they left the library and headed down through the corridor, "They still are."


In a dark laboratory, the creature with the talons was kneeling in obvious pain, "Give me another chance." He groaned. Beside him the sound of electricity crackling came from in the darkness, "A little more power." He pleaded, "I could do it with a little more."

Three figures in long coats and odd, steampunk masks approached. They seem to be slightly out of phase with reality, their bodies seemed to blur and there was a strange clicking noise that sounds like a metallic insect.

"Your condition worsens." One of the electronic voices told him as he drew out something that looked like a sword.

"I'm okay." The creature pleaded to him, "I'm okay, just... Just give me another chance."

"You were supposed to remove the obstacles." Another voice told him, "Our time is limited."

"Whatever you're here to do, I can help." The creature pleaded as he watched the other two follow suit with the first one.

"No second chances." The surgeon told him.

"I can help you." He tried once more, "They have a-"

"No second chances." The geneticist interrupted him.

"No second chances." The pathologist chanted as well.

This was continually echoed as one by one they used their own swords to thrust quickly in and out of the creature's chest. He fell back to the floor in agony. And his chest broke open and eight black birds flew out.


In the distant future

Landon is strapped down to a bed in Eichen House with Aiden standing over him, "No one saw him again, did they?" He questions him.

"No." Landon answers tiredly.

"But that was the start of it, wasn't it?" Aiden probes at him, "The beginning of senior year. What happened after that, Landon?"

Slowly, Landon turns his head and stares right at Aiden, "Oh, you're not Aiden." He voices knowingly.

Like that, the figure of Aiden is easily replaced by Valack, the doctor with the third eye, only he no longer has a hole in his head.

"Tell me what happened to them." He instructs him ignoring Landon's observation, "What happened to your friends?"

"I... I don't remember." Landon whispers.

However, there are flashes that are going through Landon's mind as he is being questioned.

It started just after you began senior year. What happened? He continues asking.

In a vision, Landon can see Scott and Liam both wolfed-out and fighting each other.

I don't remember.Landon claims as another vision takes over.

What happened?

Two more, visions quickly play out in front of him. He can Melissa making an angry expression as she slaps Sheriff Stilinski.

The scene is quickly replaced with Kira getting in a car and is driven away as Scott watches while a streetlight explodes.

Tell me about Parrish.

A vision fills his mind, as Jordan Parrish stands surrounded by flames, his eyes glow orange.

And Micah. What happened when the Desert Wolf finally found him?

Micah is cowering against a rock cave wall completely terrified as a shadowy figure approaches him menacingly.

I know you know what happened to Stiles. Valack tells him, I know you remember what happened to Stiles

Landon's mind flashes to a vision of Stiles' Jeep turned upside down with fire all around, glass littered the road and Stiles lies unconscious. Another quickly takes its place as it shows Stiles having a gazed look as her eyes glowed with distinctive shadows moving around her.

"I can't remember." Landon tells him.

"That's all right, Landon. There are other ways to get to the details," Valack whips out a drill-like device, "This special device is designed for trepanation. The medical art of drilling into the human skull." He turns on the device for effect, "Let me you show you how it works."


NEXT ON TNH: THE DREAD DOCTORS:

"Please go to school." The Sheriff begged, rubbing his hands down his face.

"Dad, this kid's a werewolf." She expressed with a disbelieving tone.

"Your best friend is a werewolf." The Sheriff reminded her, "You are mated to a werewolf that has a werecoyote for a cousin. You also have the ability to not only have the ability of a werewolf when you guys are in trouble, but also a Spark that causes you to have multiple abilities," He listed off as he slowly began to push her out his door with Stiles trying to resist him as per usual, "I still don't know what Kira's supposed to be." He finished as he pushed her through the threshold, "When the flying monkeys come soaring through this station, you will have my undivided attention. Until then, just go to school."


Derek gives her a look of doubt, "We both know that you can't bend the truth on me."

"Stupid bond," She mutters, looking down at her hands, "I punched the jeep after Scott caught Liam and me in the forest spying on Theo. It refused to start and Scott started talking about how I refuse to give people benefit of the doubt…" She trails off getting upset again, "I just don't know Derek-" Stiles admits, making eye contact with him, "There's something about him that is rubbing me the wrong way and I don't like it."

"You know you only started feeling like this towards people you didn't know," Derek points out to her, "Not people you know."

"I don't know Theo."

"You used too."

"Like, eight years ago," She scoffs easily, "And we both know how much people can change in the course of years."
