"No!" Marlow cried out. Scott and Liam faced her. "Marlow." Scott apologetically said. Marlow and Riley ran to Scott and Liam. "You better tell me you were joking, or else I swear to god!" she yelled at him. When they finally all stood in front of each other, Scott sighed. "It is." Scott asured her. Marlows went still. Angryness on her face. She turned to er side and hit a lamp post, then ran off. "Marlow!" Scott yelled after her. "Don't." Riley said. "You know she needs some alone time right now." Riley said.
"All of that doesn't matter right now. Right now, we need to find Mason and Corey. We need to help Mason." Liam stated. "But how?" Riley asked. "That's what we need to find out as well." Scott said. Riley sighed.
Marlow went into the clinic. "Marlow." Deaton greeted. Seeing her face, he asked "What's wrong?" he asked. "It's Mason." Marlow said, sadness in her voice. "He's the beast. I need to find out how to help him." Marlow said. Deaton sighed. "What?" Marlow asked. "Marlow. I don't know how to either. It's been a mistery for centuries." Deaton said, gesturing. "Please." Marlow asked, defeat in her voice. Deaton sighed. "I would if I could. You know that." Deaton explained. Marlow was angry again. She stormed out the clinic and went home.
Inside she was already greeted by a worried Stiles. Marlow roled her eyes. "Save it." she said, trying to go past him. He grabbed her by the shoulders. "Marlow. We're gonna figure out a way to save him." Stiles assured her. "You don't know that." Marlow said. "Can I please just go upstairs now?" Marlow tiredly asked. Stiles nodded "Sure." he let her pass.
Marlow dragged herself up the stairs, shut her door and fell into the bed. Marlow drifted off into sleep faster then she figured. She woke up to her ringing phone. It was 6 a.m, Marlow rubbed her eyes. She looked on her phone, it displayed Stiles name. Marlow stood up, changed into another outfit and tied her hair into a high-ponytail just to have it out of the way.
She didn't answer Stiles call, she didn't need to. Marlow knew she'd needed to go to Scotts house. She got on her old bike, with her car still being repaired from the accident, and drove off to Scott's house. Upon arriving she already saw everyone in his kitchen. Marlow herself didn't look all to good, she had dark circles under her eyes and was clearly worn out, but obviously didn't want to just sit aside while the others saved Mason.
"Hey." Marlow mumbled. She propped herself onto Scotts countertop. The others just gave her a weak smile, they knew when Marlow wasn't up to talk. "What's the plan?" she finally asked.
"Dad put out on APB for Mason. We're doing everything to find him." Stiles assured Marlow. He knew they had to find him. If anything were to happen to him, Marlow would never be happy again.
"What else?" he asked sternly. Everything before this. Every other mission wasn't as important as this one to her.
"Hayden's looking around the school." Liam said. Marlow knew this was just as important to Liam as it was to her and if they had one thing incommon it was the love for Mason.
"I can go look in the woods again." Malia offered. Marlow lightly touched her arm, nodding towards her.
"My Mom can check all the hospitals in the county. We can find him." Scott said, joining the others. "What happens then?" Liam asked. "We figure out a way to save him." Scott said.
"We have to." Marlow added. "Okay. Where else can we look?" Lydia asked. "Let's ask Corey." Scott said, confusing Marlow. Until all of the sudden he gripped something on his side, it was Corey who apparently made himself invisible to eaves drop.
"Wait. Wait it's not my fault." Corey said. Marlow believed him. He wouldn't do anything to Mason. "They took him and I couldn't do anything. They took him." he added frantically.
"Who?" Scott finally asked. Even though Marlow already knew who he was talking about. It was pretty obvious at this point.
"The dread doctors." he finally brought out. Marlow was angry at this point. More than angry probably suits this situation better. What else has to happen before people realize that this isn't a good way to live?
"Okay. Let go of him Scott." Marlow said. He did. Marlow pulled Corey over to her side. "What now?" she asked sighing. She knew the others had no clue and Scott looked like he had an idea. "What do you think?" she answered annoyed that he was holding things back.
"I think we need to talk to Theo." Scott said, probably knowing he'd be regretting that soon. Marlow had to hold back a lot of things in that moment. Like laughing about this terrible idea or possibly even the urge to punch Scott in the face for suggesting that.
"No. No. No. Nada. Absoloutley not!" Marlow yelled. Asking Theo to help save Mason was not only a terrible idea, but asking him to save Mason would also be like throwing a baby into a cage full of Lions.
"Well do you have any other options?! 'Cause I don't!" Scott defensively yelled. Despite being angry, annoyed and more worried then ever now. Marlow knew this is not the time to yell at each other. There are a lot of things at stake right now. So she tried it one more on time in a reasonable way.
"Scott, I know youre a great leader and all. But can you not see that throwing Masons life into the ands of a cunning maniac might be just a little wrong...if not horrible?" she whispered sternly.
"We have no other options." he tried telling her one last time. Marlows facial expression went angry again, but she still kept herself from screaming. Because it was not worth it.
"Okay. I'm coming with you." she said, smiling over excitedly...like it was just too much. "No." Scott said. "What?!" Marlow calmly, yet slamming her fist on the table, asked. The others flinched at the sudden noise, or out of fear that Marlow might start killing People soon.
"I'm taking Liam. Because knowing you, taking you to talk to Theo would end in a bloodbath." Scott explained, kind of like a father explaining to a kid why they can't go do some certain thing the kid really wants.
"You know he's probably right." Stiles said, probably trying to end this conversation. "Shut up, Stiles!" Marlow warned. "Yes ma'am." he said turning his head towards the counter.
"Fine what do I do?" she asked, trying to maintain all kind of calmness she still has left in her body. "You take Corey, get Riley then you go to the school and help Hayden look." Scott explained, trying just as hard as her to maintain every last bit of calmness he still has.
"Great." Marlow sulkily stated. "Let's go Corey." she sternly demanded, pulling the boy with her. Although he probably would followed anyways, fearing she'd turn her rage on him otherwise.
"Wait. I'm coming with you. I need to go see Parrish anyways." Lydia said. "You know what, that's probably a great idea. Because I'm only here on my old bike and unless Corey wants to ride on the carrier thing it'd probably be better to ride in a car." Marlow said.
"Stop being so salty." Stiles yelled after her. "I'm not salty, I'm just on the verge of punching a lot of people in the face." she said defensively. "We should probably go." Corey said fearfully.
Marlow hadn't cooled down the entire time and was still on that verge of getting agressive. She knocked. A few seconds later she heard steps coming towards the door. The door was then opened revealing Riley behind it. She sighed in reliefe and hugged Marlow.
"My god, I was so worried. Where did you go last night?" she asked. "I had a minor freak out. That minor freak outturned into a major one and now we're looking Mason." Marlow frantically muttered.
Riley now realized Corey was there too. "Where is he?" Riley asked curiously, obviously nobody had time to fill her in on what had been going own the past night and morning. "The dread doctors took him and I gotta go talk to your Uncle." Lydia said, rushing past Riley into the apartment.
"What now?" Riley asked. "If only somebody could answer that question for me." Marlow defeadetly sighed. "Well come in, will ya'? The neighbourood doesn't need to know that we're looking for out beastly friend." Riley demanded, shoving Marlow and Corey inside.
It had been about an hour and the three of them still had no clue what the hell to do with this whole situation. Corey had decided to go help Hayden look around the school probably half an hour ago. Marlow knew it wasn't worth it, seeing that the Dread Doctors would most likely not hide Mason at the school. But she let him leave, it's not like she could stop him anyways.
By now both of them were worn out. Marlow was resting on Rileys shoulder. "Do you think we'll ever see him again?" Marlow asked. Riley said up, pushign Marlows head off her shoulder.
"Of course." she demanded. "Mason is a fighter. And Scott and Liam know what they're doing." Riley added. Marlow sighed, she wanted to believe her but while what she was saying about Mason was right, they might be talking about the beast here.
"Where are the others anyway?" Riley asked about the other friends by now "missing" friends. In the course of the day everyone had gone they're seperate ways. "Malia's with Braeden, Lydia and Stiles are with my Dad, Hayden and Corey are looking in School and Scott and Liam are still with Theo." Marlow explained, wary of this whole Theo situation.
Riley could see how stressed out Marlow was about this. "Call Scott." she offered. "Tried it. He's not picking up." Marlow said. "Liam?" Riley asked. Marlow sighed. Her and Liam hadn't talked much after the break-up. But this was more important than any childish thing they are in right now.
She took out her phone and dialed Liams number. He picked up, much too Marlows relive. "Anything?" he immediatly asked. Marlow let out a relieved laugh. "Not really. You?" she asked. "Theo might know something. I don't trust him though." Liam whispered. Marlow figured he was with him right now.
"Then don't! Theo wants power. That's all. He'd turn on his own pack to get them. That's all he needs Mason for. Trust me, he has no interest whatsoever in finding him for the sake of us. So don't trust him and if you find Mason, don't let Theo get him and call me immediatly obviously. If you find him, either your or Scotts first call goes to me, ist that clear?"
"Of course." Liam said. "I gotta go." Liam said. "Good luck. Bye." Marlow said. She then hung up the phone, let out a sigh and pulled Riley out the door. "What's going on?" Riley asked.
"We're going to the station. I can't sit around anymore."
"Anything?" Marlow asked Stiles after storming into the Sherrif's station. Stiles just shook his head. Marlow let out anothr defeated sigh. "You okay?" Lydia asked Stiles. "Yeah, still thinking." he said. "I'm still trying to figure out why Mason. I mean he wasn't even on the Genetic Chimera list." Stiles said.
"He is now." Melissa said, coming into the room. She put a file on the table. Marlow and Riley followed her, so did Stiles and Lydia. "Mason was born with Twin Embolization Syndrome." she went on.
"You mean Fetal Resorption?" Lydia asked. Melissa nodded. "He had a vanishing twin in Utero?" Lydia asked. "Wich counts for two sets of DNA." Melissa added. "In English please." Marlow said.
"He ate his twin." Melissa explained. That was too surprising, even for Marlow. "Does this help the situation?" Marlow asked, even more confused now. "I don't know. But it sounds just bizzare enough to help, right?" Melissa asked. It might.
"It has to help. There has to be something." Lydia demanded. Melissa then opened the file and showed us a picture. An ultrasound image of Mason with his deceased twin. Marlow grabbed Riley by the hand and pulled her out again. Stiles looked after them, confused. "Where are you goin- well okay then they're gone." he said after they went out the door.
"Would you please stop always pulling me with you. I can walk." Riley said. "Where are we going now?" she added. "We're finding Scott and Liam." Marlow said. Riley sighed.
It was hard finding them at first, but eventually they found them at some cabin deep in the woods. They came in just in time to see the beast fighting the dread doctors and Scott, Liam and Theo.
"Mason!" Marlow yelled. She was yanked to the side just a second later. Riley pulled Marlow off to the side, to Scott and Liam. Marlow quickly regained conciousness and sat up next to the others. The beast said something about sucess, Marlow couldn't hear it though it was all still pretty blurry.
The beast then ripped apart all of the doctors but one. He dragged the last one outside. Marlow, Riley Scott and Liam followed. Outside the beast was immediatly attacked by the Hellhound. Chris and Gerard followed, with Chris shooting the beast.
"He's here too?" Marlow asked pointing towards Gerard. "I wanted to tell you..." Scott started. Marlow waved a hand, letting hm know she doesn't care or at least isn't mad. Finally the beast tansformed back into a human.
Marlow stepped forward. "Ma...son." she said, stopping as she saw that the human was definately not Mason. "What the hell.." she mumbled.
"La Béte du Gévaudan. I know your name." Gerard called out. The man turned around. "Do you remember mine?" Gerard added. "Argent." the man said in a french accent. He then took off, with Parrish running after him.
The group ran towards Chris and Gerard "What the hell was that?" Scott asked. "You've seen the beast of Gévaudan. That was the man." Gerard explained. Chris looked at his father.
"Sebastien Valét." he said.
