"That's for tomorrow, Scott." Stiles said, gesturing to the injection. Scott tightened his grip.
"I saw Theo's memories," Scott said instead, "you killed the Dread Doctors, and you told him you wanted to kill me next." At that his pack members started moving closer to their alpha, ready for a fight.
"I can lie sometimes," Stiles said, not taking any steps back.
"We've done everything you asked," Lydia said, "but you lied about ending the Nemeton too, didn't you?"
"You didn't want to destroy it, you just wanted to absorb its power." Scott said, realization hitting him. The injection felt warmer against his fingers. He could feel the pack members twitching by his side, anticipating his next moves.
The chimeras were starting to look around, and Scott flashed his eyes and jumped forward. All of them working on restraining Stiles as soon as he gave the orders, finding almost no resistance on his part. Not like when they fought him anyway.
"Don't hurt him!" Scott said, before stabbing his neck with the injection then stepping back.
The members let him go and he fell on his knees almost instantly. Coughing up chunks of silver blood.
"Are you okay?" Scott asked, but didn't get an answer.
Next to him, Theo started gaining consciousness. And someone slowly stepped in from a distance.
"Deaton!" Scott exclaimed.
"I recall telling Stiles to lock the clinic as well." Deaton said, looking down at Stiles, who was still struggling to breathe.
"What are you doing here?" Liam asked, still baring his fangs. At this point, Scott wasn't beyond it either.
"I'm just an agent for the Nemeton. It speaks to me. And I do as it tells me." He replied calmly as ever.
"You were behind all of this." Lydia said.
"I knew about it yes, I've been instructed to guard it yes. But I would've never been able to orchestrate or predict any of this alone."
"The Dread Doctors are dead." Lydia said, Scott watched him raise his eyebrows in surprise "there's nothing left of your experiment."
"But more than half the people here are experiments, and recreations of what Stiles is at that. There's no way to get rid of the Nemeton without a great sacrifice."
"I-I said," Stiles coughed before continuing hoarsely, "to do it tomorrow morning..."
"Stiles," Lydia said, "did it work? Are you okay?"
"Of course it worked, I said it would work, didn't I?!" He replied furiously.
"All I've ever done so far has been to help you, these experiments, who are like Stiles, and even Stiles himself, they will suffer greatly, without the doctors, without any powers and even half their humanity-" Deaton said but was cut off by Stiles.
"Theo," Stiles said, "you're alive and well, but I need you to do one more thing, since we have an unexpected guest."
"What is it." Theo said, now fully conscious and ready to fight.
"Get rid of him."
Theo didn't hesitate. Pouncing at once at the doctor with his fangs bared. Scott watched Liam, Malia and Kira help out as well but didn't stop them.
Deaton was merely restrained as he didn't come unarmed and started throwing what seemed to be a strange powder into the air. The pack members all fell backwards and even Theo seemed to be affected but he didn't step back, biting Deaton in the neck.
"Scott!" Stiles said, "please, please kill him, you're the only one who can right now."
Scott stared wide-eyed at Stiles, then looked at Deaton and Theo still struggling. Why didn't he help either of them?
Scott took one step forward.
"Scott..." Lydia said.
"Stiles!" Deaton then cried, "I have it! I still have the fly, it's still alive and well."
"Scott do it," Stiles said, ignoring him, "please! It will end everything!"
Scott then flashed his eyes red and let his claws come out, thinking briefly of looking through Deaton's memories before quickly making deep deadly slashes across the doctor's chest. The blood came out dark red, then bright red and then finally silver, before he fell on top of the Nemeton, blood pooling at his mouth.
Theo took several steps back at the sight of Scott's Alpha eyes before quickly regaining his composure and getting ready to attack when one of the chimeras attacked him first. Natalie slashed his throat with her newly recovered claws.
Scott looked out for any other chimeras that might want revenge, but none came forward. He watched as Stiles slowly approached Deaton's corpse and didn't dare look at the members of his own pack in the face. He was starting to regret it. He lost all control and was above all guilty before everyone.
"If sacrificing a druid doesn't shut this beacon down I will sacrifice myself next." Stiles said, "maybe burning him will make it quicker, and I'm sorry Scott, I'm sorry to all of you," he said, looking to the members and even the chimeras, "I could make it your fault and say that you didn't go by my instructions but it was all me, I lost control completely, I'm sorry and it will never happen again."
"I believe you," Kira said first. Putting a hand on Scott's shoulder.
"I believe you too," Scott said, seeing his pack gather around him, "and I forgive you."
