Scott, Stiles and Alice sat at the Scott's room, the stack of money in front of the boys as Alice sat on the end of the bed and they listen to the tape as it plays. Stiles stops it "You mean a wire transfer?" Stiles asks them, "They had enough money." Alice states, "So you didn't understand a word of that either." he asks, she shrugs. "We don't understand any of this, why would someone use all this money, just to kill us?" Scott questions.
"Someone wants you two dead badly." Stiles tells him, Scott rolls his eyes and sighs. Then looks at Alice, she gets the message and opens the bag wide and he place the money inside. "Whoa what are you doing?" Stiles asks them. "It's late and we have the P.A. in the morning." Scott tells him, "I meant the money, the 500,000 dollars, you guys know how much money that is?" he asks them, "Half a million, why?" Alice answers. "Then what are you going to do with it, are you going to hide it under her bed?" Stiles asks Scott.
"We have to talk to Derek, the money's his." Scott tells him, "You mean his and Peter's." Stiles tells them, they look at him, "What does that mean?" Alice asks him, "It means we should proceed with caution." Stiles tells him, "You don't think we should tell Derek?" Scott asks him. "No, no." Stiles answers, standing with his back to them, they look up at him and he turns back to them, "No of course we have to tell him, I just saying some of that money's Peter's right." he tells them, turning back, "Yeah." Scott answers, "Right. Peter, homicidal killer, remember. You want to give a half a million dollars to him." he tells them.
"So we should give Derek his money back, but not Peter?" Alice asks him, "I didn't say that." Stiles states, Alice and Scott exchange looks, then Scott looks back at him, "Stiles, what are you saying?" Scott asks him. But before Stiles could answer Scoot and Alice heard someone walk up their to them, Alice quickly get off the bed as the boys push the bag of money under the bed, they quickly stood up in front of the bed and the door openings showing Maila, wet from the rain. "We found Satomi's pack, Derek and I, but they're dead." she tells them. "All of them?" Alice asks her, "All the ones we found." she answers then Stiles took a step to her, "Then where's Derek?"

At the hospital, Breaden kicks the door open as her and Derek drag a person inside, the doctors and nurses look at them, "He's been shot! I think he's dying." Breaden shouts. Matthew's head hung as their was a shotgun wound in his belly.
~8~8~8~
Later the next day, Stiles, Kira, Maila, and Scott stood in line as they waited for the P.A.S.T test. "Where's Lydia and Alice?" Maila asks, "They already took the test in freshmen year." Stiles answers her. Maila sighs and rolls her eyes.
Outside the school Alice was back to her car and accidentally bumps into someone making him drop his papers. "Sorry." she tells him, helping him gather his papers, "It's fine young lady, a common mistake." he man tells her, she looks at him and smiles, Alice grips the open black ink finger stamper and presses her thumb against it and pulls it off the ground, she held half stack as he the other, the both stood up and she gave him, his stack back black ink stamper. "Thank you." he nods at her, "No problem." she answers him. "Wait shouldn't you beside taking the test?" he asks her. "No, I already took it in freshmen year, so I'm good to go." she answers him. He nods, "Well wish me luck." he tells her and walks off.
Alice walks back to her car, looking down at her thumb and quickly brushes it off on her black tank-top gets in her car and drove off, unaware to her the man looks back an evil smirk on his face as he enters the building.
~8~8~8~
Alice arrive at the hospital, meeting up with Rosalie and they walk inside and was directed to the room Matthew was resting in. Breaden looks at them, walks ove to them and gave the two a hug. "Hey, Breaden, how is he?" Alice asks her as Rosalie sat down next to him and held his hand. "Your mom said he's fine, he's going to make a full recovery." Breaden tells her. Alice walks over and stood on the other side.
"Was he like this when you found him?" Alice asks her. Breaden nods at her, "We were separated for an hour and when I found him he was like this." she informs her. Alice exhaled heavily, feeling a little warm then her mother walks into the room. She walks up to Matthew and presses a needle into his tube, "What's that Derek asks her. "Naloxone, we need to wake him up." she tells him, "I thought you said he need to rest?" Breaden asks her. "That was before I found out that the CDC put the high School under quarantine with Scott and Stiles in there." Melissa informs them, then Matthew jumps awake, taking his surroundings.
"Matthew, Matthew look at me." Melissa place her hand on his shoulder and he looks at her. "You were shot but you're in the hospital now and you fine, do you understand." Melissa asks him, Matthew looks at Rosalie and Breaden, they nod at him and he looks back at Melissa and nods. She pulls her hand away from him and stood next to Derek. "Last night you were in the woods and you came across another pack, do you know what happened to them?" she asks him, trying to get him to remember what happened.
"I told you, they were poisoned." Derek tells he, Matthew shook his head. "No. no, they were infected." he answers, everyone looks at him. "It was a virus, design to kill werewolves and it did." he states, Melissa looks away, Matthew looks at them. "It killed them all." he tells them, then they heard coughing, everyone looks over as Alice as she coughs into her fist.
She then pulls her hand away, pants and pulls off her jacket. "Alice?" Breaden asks her, the young werewolf looks at them, they saw her fangs were showing. "Oh no." Rosalie gasp as Alice sat down, Derek went to he side and looks at her. "Alice." he said with worry, cupping her face, seeing her fangs and saw her eyes flickered between light brown and bright neon red. "What's happening to her?" Derek asks, looking her at Matthew. "She's been infected, and if we don't find an antidote soon, she's going to die." Matthew answers
~8~8~8~
Alice leans against the wall as she and Breaden where in the basement, squeezing her eyes shut, trying to make her werewolf calm. She then opens her eyes and looks down at her hands, seeing her claws were still out, she sighs and shows the mercenary her claws. "I. . . can't make then go back. I'm not in control." she tells then and coughs again, Breaden walks over to her and rubs her shoulder trying to sooth her coughing fits.
Alice then laid down, Breaden helps her to the ground and laid Alice on her lap. "You're going to be okay Alice, you're going to be okay." she tells her, Alice just looks up at her and exhaled with a ragged breath. "Just rest alright just rest." Breaden tells her, brushing her long hair our of her face and Alice closes her eyes and slept. Breaden brushes away her tears and held Alice in her arms.
Then after a few hours, Breaden looks at her hands, seeing her claws were gone and that Alice fingernails were now bleeding black blood, Breaden gasp in horror and shook Alice. "Ally, Alice wake up." Breaden tells her, Alice coughs and opens her eyes, then black blood leak from her ears and mouth. "Hey hey, listen, I'm going to be gone for a while, just a while. Okay?" Breaden tells her Alice nods at her she was gently set down on the ground, Breaden took off her jacket and place it on Alice's shivering shoulders and she took off.
~8~8~8~
Back in the room, Matthew slept soundly as Rosalie watches him, "What are you still doing here?" he asks her with a smirk, Rosalie smiles at him. "Just spending time with my boyfriend and worrying the crap about Alice." she answers him, Matthew opens his eyes and looks at her. "You're not the only one that's worrying about her and I know Alice is strong." he tells her, she smiles at him, the rubs her shoulders. "You cold?" she asks her, she looks at him.
"Just a little." she answers him, "My jacket's over there." he points his his folded close clothes. She stood up and walks over to his jacket that sat on the chair. She picks it up and realizes that it was a little heavy, she reaches into pocket, and pulls out a syringe with dark orange liquid inside. She then turns back to Matthew holding the syringe in her hand. "Matt, where did you get this?" she asks him, he looks at it confused as well. Then the memory plays back in Rosalie's mind.
~Flashback~
She and Matthew examined the dying werewolf that was shaking violently due to the virus inside his system, then their mentor walks up to the wolf, took his arm and injects the dark orange liquid into his am. The wolf exhaled as he relaxes.
"Teacher, what did you just do?" young Rosalie asks him, he looks at her, "I just save his life from a werewolf infection." he answers her, "What did you inject him with?" Matthew asks him. Their mentor walks and pulls out a few syringes with the same liquid inside and he shows them, "This is from a rare herb called Reishi, a wild purple planet that is a powerful remedy for sickness." he tells them.
"You've been slipping that into our drinks, haven't you?" Rosalie tells him, he looks at he and smiles, "I have been for a long while, even in your food, so both you and Matthew are immune to this virus." he states and place one of the syringes in Matthew hand. He looks up at their mentor. "Just in case if you befriend a werewolf and they're dying from this sickness, take their arm, and inject it right where their forearm meets the elbow." he instructs them. Matthew looks at him and nods then back down at the syringe.
~End of Flashback~
Rosalie gasp as she remembers, then looks at Matthew, "This is the cure, I think I just found the cure for Alice." she tells him, Matthew chuckles. Rosalie throws on his jacket, ran to him and smashes her lips on his. "I love you." she tells him, "And I love you, now go save our sister." he tells her.
She smiles, pockets the syringe and took off out of his room.
Back down at the basement, Alice heard the door was opened and she opens her eyes, "Breaden, is that you?" Alice asks her, "Yeah Alice, I'm right here." Breaden grips her hand. "Breaden. . . I can't see, I can't see." Alice tells her Breaden was taken back and pulls Alice onto her back, "Hang on, I'll get to to Deaton." she tells her, Alice nods and held on tight and Breaden took off.
~8~8~8~
Breaden kicks the doors to the operating room open and walks inside. "What happen?" Deaton asks as he pulls Alice off Breaden's back. "She just lost her vision." Breaden informs him, Melissa gasps then pulls out another table and she was laid down on it.
Derek step next to her and grips her hand, she returns the grip. "Hang in there Alice." he pleaded as Deaton and Melissa examines her. "How long?" Breaden asks them, Deaton looks at her. "A few hours at most." he answers, then Rosalie burst through the doors and they looks out her. "Out of my way!" She tells, bushing everyone away, pulls the syringe out and press on Alice's arm. "What are you doing?" Derek questions her as Rosalie place the needle to Alice's skin.
Rosalie looks at him, "I'm saving my friend." she answers and looks back at Alice's arm, "Inject the needle where the forearm meets the elbow." Rosalie whispers to herself and press the needle into the correct spot and injects the whole liquid in Alice's system.
Alice then exhale softly as she relaxes, Rosalie pulls the needle away and press to fingers to Alice's wrist. Then looks back at everyone, "She's okay, she's going to be fine." she tells them. "What did you give her?" Breaden asks he in amazement. Rosalie held up the syringe with a drop of the liquid left. "Reishi, a powerful remedy for sickness and makes great tea." she tells them, Deaton walks over to her and took the syringe from her. "Who gave you this?" he asks her.
"My mentor after he treated a werewolf from the same virus." she tells him, he looks at her, "I didn't remember until I found that syringe." she tells him, they then heard groaning, everyone looks at Alice, seeing she was waking up. Her eyes fluttered and she press her hand to her head. "Hey Alice, how are you feeling?" Melissa asks her, "Like someone just hit me with their car five times in a row." she groans and laid on her side, Rosalie sighs. "She's okay." Breaden said with relief and Derek pulls her into his arms, "Easy, easy wolf boy, I still ache." she mumbles. He just chuckles and nuzzled his face into her shoulder.
"What how come you or Matthew didn't get infected?" Satomi asks Rosalie and the young druid looks at her with a same, "The same way you didn't get infected, I was given amount of Reishi, my mentor keep spiking our drinks and food with it." she informs her, Alice chuckles. "That's sneaky bastard." she groans. "Hey, language Missy." Melissa tells her. Alice just laughs and land her back down. "Get some rest okay?" he tells her, Alice nods at him as Deaton and Melissa check her.
Then he and Satomi went to leave but an assassin stops him, she aim her gun at Satomi and fire, but Derek jumps in the way, shielding her, then Satomi came at her, dodging every bullet that was fired that her stabs the Assassin through the throat, then Deaton and Melissa step out, along with Breaden and Rosalie who held Alice's arms over her shoulders and they all watch Satomi pull her weapon out of the assassin's neck and the assassin hits the dead, Satomi looks back at them as Derek pulls himself back up.
"I may of learn to control my anger. But I still know when to use it." she states, Alice chuckles, "You've change Satomi, so different from oak creek that day." Alice states the older werewolf turns and looks at the younger werewolf. "How do you know about that?" she asks Alice. "An old friend of your show me what happened that night, you remember her; Harmony." Alice tells her, Satomi was shock at fist them smiles, I remember Harmony well, we would always play goe and she would always bring a smile to me, didn't care if I was a werewolf." she states.
"The rules don't matter to people like her, to her no matter what you are, you're still a person." Alice tells her, then chuckles. "Alice, less talking more walking." Breaden tells her and the two help her to the Elevator, but Derek jogs up to them, "I'll take her." he tells them, pulling Alice out of their grasp and picks her up into his arms. "Thank you again Rosalie." Derek tells her, stepping into the elevator.
Rosalie smiles and nods at him then the doors close.

Back in the vault, Stiles went to check on Maila after the Reishi cure work, he then saw a shock look on her face, he place his hand on her shoulder, but she pulls it off her, stood up and walks away him. Stiles picks up the list and saw that she saw the list.
Maila now knows that she wasn't a Tata at all; she was a Hale.
