Hayden and Stiles were carrying a severely injured Liam inside the school, "That was probably the dumbest thing you have ever done," Stiles chastised him as Hayden led them to an empty classroom, "Put him on the desk."

Stiles shuts the door just as a wave of screams echoed through the halls. Stiles immediately locked the door. Walking back to Liam, Stiles could get a clear look at the wounds that Liam had obtained.

There were claw marks running alongside his chest and abdomen appearing to be deep and ragged. Despite his injuries, Liam tried to sit-up, but Stiles pushed him back down gently, "Stay down."

Liam grunted in protest, "I'm okay." He claimed, "I'm fine." However, he noticed that Hayden was making an expression that told him otherwise, "What? Is it bad?"

"No," Hayden answered with a clear sign of unsureness.

"Very," Stiles commented, eyeing the wounds.

Hayden turned to Stiles for help, "What do you guys usually do when this happens?"

"Oh, I used to pass out." Stiles shared almost feeling faint, "And I think I still might revert to doing that."

"Stiles!" Hayden shrieked in a panic, no way was Hayden going to help Liam, if the one person who knew everything collapsed on her, "Hello, healing powers remember?"

Stiles stood over Liam, hands outreached over his body, "God I hope this works," She mumbled as she began focusing on channeling her power to her hands. As she does so, she could feel a comforting sensation run through her arms.

Hayden watched in awe as Stiles' eyes go completely white as a green aura began to emit from the hovering hands. She looked down to see Liam's wounds began to close slowly and his breathing began to slow down.

When the wounds finally disappear, the aura from Stiles' hands disappeared just as her eyes returned to their normal color, "Whoa." Stiles breathed out from the new development, staring at her hands, "How he is?" She questioned.

Liam lets out a grunt of pain, "Could you try again?"

"There's only so much pain I can take away." Stiles shared, noticing Hayden's alarmed face, "But Scott did this with pain." She offered, "He'd have to trigger more pain. Pain makes you human."

"He's already in pain," Hayden stated.

"So maybe adding a little more could help take away the pain." Stiles suggested, "Take away his pain." Stiles directed.

Hayden stared at Liam for a second just before leaning over him, placing a kiss on his lips. Stiles watched as the tell-tale dark lines of pain leave Liam and entered Hayden through the kiss.

Stiles raised an eyebrow at Hayden's chosen method, "Personally, I find a punch to the face works just as well."

"What do we do now?" Hayden questioned while helping Liam in sitting up.

"Find the others." Stiles told them heading to the door, "Help anyone that needs it." She opened the door, but turned back to them, "Remember the plan, Liam?"

"No one dies tonight." He answered, eyes glowing.


"The plan is to get everyone away from here as quickly and safely as possible." Scott explained to Allison, "Lori and Brett are handling the people outside the school, we need to handle the people on the inside."

"What do you plan on doing if you come across the Beast?" Allison questioned him. She recognized a calculating expression forming on Scott's face, "You're not going to try to go at it, alone are you?"

Scott nodded his head sure of himself. "That's exactly what I plan on doing."


Stiles, Liam, and Hayden were just about to leave the classroom as they could hear the distance sound of the Beast roaring and the sounds of people screaming, "Just how do you plan on stopping that thing?" Hayden questioned.

"Honestly I'm not worried about stopping it." Stiles admitted, "I'm just trying to survive it at this point."

Liam made a minor groan as he tried stretching out his soreness, "Shouldn't Parrish be here by now?" Liam questioned as well.

"He's a bit tied up right now."

"If he's the only one that stands a chance in fighting that thing then why isn't he here?" Hayden questioned.

Stiles shook her head at him, "You don't want to know."


Scott had found The Beast. Only it has the upper hand as it threw him into a wall. Despite the hard landing on the floor, Scott was quickly able to get back on his feet ready to face it.

Instead of attacking any further, it began scurrying off in the opposite direction. Scott automatically went after it.


"So just how bad is it?" Allison questioned Kira as they go door to door checking classrooms for hiding students.

"You saw how bad is." Kira answered honestly, "I just hope you have something else that's nonlethal to stop me."

"I have a few tricks up my sleeve." Allison shared, opening one door and peering into an empty classroom, "Besides it wouldn't be the first time I'd have to face off with a fox spirit."

Kira gave a doubt expression, "The only difference is that this is a part of me." She pointed out, "Not something that is possessing me."

Allison halted their walk in the hall, "We'll figure something out." She assured her, "We didn't give up on Stiles and we're not going to give up on you." She opened another door to a classroom that was filled with students.


Derek and Micah were roaming the halls of the high school, "I don't think she can hear me." Derek told him, "And I can't sense her either, must be blocked out."

"Just how does that keep happening?" Micah questioned, just as a wave students came running in their direction. He doesn't wait for Derek's answer as he grabbed one of them, "Where's Stiles?" He questioned the student. The student was too scared to answer, "Answer me!" He practically roared. However, this only caused a look of confusion on their face, "Do you even know who Stiles is?"

This was enough to scare the student to give him an answer, "I don't."

Micah released the student and they took off running. The sound of roar echoed from the direction the students were running away from. Derek and Micah slowly backed away, "I hope you brought Braeden's shotgun."


In another part of the school, students were still trying to run away from the Beast. One of them happened to trip over her own feet and fell to the ground. While she doesn't get up she does begin backward crab walk away from the sound of the Beast losing in on her very quickly.

She then felt a hand on her shoulder as Scott threw her roughly into a classroom and barricaded the door with his body. While looking at Scott she could see that he was bloodied, but the sound of the Beast nearing closer could be heard just from the outside of the door.

Neither try to make a sound as they heard the steps of the Beast getting closer. For a moment, there was silence, until the Beast suddenly started banging against the door, just as the sound of glass shattering caught their attention, "Over here!" A voice called out to them.

The girl turned to see Allison and Kira both urging her to move it. Scott continued barricading with his body as Allison and Kira quickly helped her out. Kira directed her to a point of safety while Allison waved her hand at Scott to move.

The glass window of the door shattered, causing Scott to lose his balance just as the arm of the Beast rip through the door, "Scott!" Allison cried out just as she witnessed the Beast rip the door and Scott out of the classroom.

The only sound she was left with was the sound of Scott's scream.


Stiles, Liam, and Hayden were running through the halls, just as the sound of Scott's scream seemed to have echoed throughout the school. The trio halted with confused expressions, "What was that?" Hayden asked, showing the rational expression of being scared.

"It's Scott," Liam answered, looking worried.

"What's the matter with Scott?"

"The Beast." Stiles answered knowingly just as she fell to the floor on her knees, "I'm going to need the two of you to be very quiet for what I'm about to do next." She advised them, before touching the floor with her hands.

"What are you about to do?"

"I'm about to find him." She answered just as her eyes go white.


An injured Scott ran into the library where he discovered Sydney and more than a dozen of students hiding behind bookshelves and book carts. Not far behind, the sound of the Beast could be heard and Scott urged at them in a whisper, "Go upstairs!"

Not questioning him, but hearing the Beast getting closer, the students moved in a hurry up to their new hiding places just before the Beast barged in, letting out a roar.

Scott's eyes flashed red as he growled back.


"She's been like that for five minutes." Hayden whispered to Liam as they watched Stiles remain unmoved. "Shouldn't she know by now?"

The sound of running feet caused Liam and Hayden to jump just before realizing Micah and Derek were running from around a corner. Micah slowed down, staring at Stiles completely concerned at her state, "What is she doing?"

"She's trying to find Scott." Liam answered, "Only I'm not sure just how she is doing it."

"She's using her somatosensory imprint ability." Derek explained as he was now loading up the shotgun, "Touch anyone once and she can find them regardless of wherever ever they are."

"That would explain how she and Scott were able to find me found in the well so quickly." Liam realized.

Stiles hands Liam a towel to dry himself off, "How were you able to find me?" He questions the friends.

"A werewolf shares their location with their pack with a howl." Stiles shares simply, "Scott was able to hone in on your location when he heard you from the Argent Warehouse."

"Actually, I was kind of off." Scott admits, "I was heading in the wrong direction. Stiles told me we should go the other way."

"I thought you said you were human?" Liam questions her.

"I am human." Stiles clarifies, "Every now and again I sense things." She explains to him, "I can't explain it, but the only thing I know so far that is that it never steers me wrong."

"So how were you able to find me?"

Stiles gives him a thinking expression, "I think I just knew. Almost as if I could just touch you and you would appear." She answers him, "There's a lot about my abilities that we don't know yet."

"But you're definitely still human?" He repeats his question.

Stiles gives him a smirk, "About as human as I can get."

"She has a lot of talents. Some we don't even know yet and others we are just learning," Derek spoke with some pride in his voice, "But with great power comes with-"

"Great responsibility?" Micah guessed, which earned him a judgmental stare from his cousin. "I happened to see that movie just before turning into a coyote."

"A lot of concentration." He finished, "What she can do requires a lot of mental focus. One mess up and-"

"Library," Stiles gasped out as her eyes returned to normal, interrupting Derek. "They're in the library."

"You four stay here." Derek ordered them, "I'll go get to him." Derek noticed the stoned expression on Stiles' face and kneeled on the ground to her, "I will get to him." He placed a kiss on top of her head, "I promise."

She gave him a head nod as he gets up and rushed down the hall turning a corner. Micah kneeled right down beside her, seeing that she hasn't removed her hands from the floor, "You're not going to wait, are you?"

Stiles made a headshake, "Not a chance." Stiles answered boldly as her eyes go back to white.


Scott was thrown into a bookcase, causing books and other bookcases to fly around and crash to the ground. The sound of the Beast roared filled the library as some students witnessed the fight between Scott and the Beast.

From her hiding spot, Sydney held back a scream as Scott's body gets thrown in her direction. She could hear Scott groan in pain just before his body was dragged away.

Scott was then thrown into a small study area, his body crashing into a table. Scott groaned in impact, but still managed to muster up the strength to stand and jump towards the Beast.

The hiding students that spread all around the library were forced to hear Scott getting beat by the Beast as it threw him onto the small steps of the library.

Scott was now completely bloodied as he tried to get back on his feet. But his attempt appeared to be useless as he couldn't gain the proper footing. Despite the fact, in knowing that he doesn't have a chance, Scott turned to face the Beast, bearing his teeth showing that he was unafraid.

As the Beast leaped at him, claws ready, Scott braced for impact, only to hear a dull sound as the Beast claws hit against a blue aura acting as a barrier. The Beast tried again, only to Scott's surprise, it managed to stay intact at the repeated hits.

Spotting a glowing blue trail on the floor, Scott followed it to where it led to Stiles behind the Beast, knees and hands touching the floor, eyes completely white, as the blue aura emitted from her hands.

The Beast seemed to realize that something has interfered in the fight with Scott and lets out a roar of rage. It turned on its two feet spotting Stiles on the floor and began charging. However, Stiles doesn't appear to move as the Beast was closing in.

Just as Scott was about to yell a warning out to his friend, Liam leaped from behind Stiles and drove his fist into unexpected Beast head's, knocking it back towards Scott.

It roared as it staggered back, swiping Liam off to the side. But the distraction was just enough for Scott to get back on his feet, while the Beast was still focused on attacking Stiles, who remained unmoved, but now had another blue aura line emitting from her hands.

It doesn't get a step in when the sound of gunshots filled the air as Derek and Micah came running into the library. The Beast staggered from the shots as Micah lets his eyes glow as he lets out a roar of his own.

The Beast seemed to realize that, it was outnumbered and turned back to Scott, only to ignore him completely and jumped out the large window of the library. Letting out one more roar, that faded out into the night.

While Liam and Micah help Scott get back on his feet, Derek turned his attention on Stiles, who appeared to be having a hard time standing. He wrapped an arm around his neck, "Would it actually kill you to listen to me for once?" He chastised her.

Stiles gave him a tired laugh, "One of these days it actually might." She answered as Liam, Scott, and Micah joined them. "And you," She pointed at Scott with an accusatory finger, "You didn't seriously think you were gonna have a chance against that thing, did you?"

"No." Scott admitted, but his face turned to triumphant as he looked back the Beast's escape route, "But I got its scent."


"You're welcome to stay with us." Kira offered as she and Allison were stalking through the school grounds. The panicked crowd had finally disappeared, but every now and again they hear a faint roar.

"Thanks," Allison replied as they walked through one of the school's deserted parking lot. "You're being unbelievably calm right now."

"I'm starting to think that high-pressure situations such as being in Eichen and playing lacrosse is the reason why what keeps happening happens." Kira confessed, "Maybe it would be best if I try to avoid getting involved with one."

The sound of glass shattering and a now clear roar could be heard as the girls halt their movement, "Oh, that's not good." Allison noted.

"When is it ever?" Kira agreed just as Scott suddenly started running past them without even acknowledging their presence. "Was that blood?" She questioned just as another familiar face run past them. "Liam?"

Liam doesn't turn back to the call out, but the sound of more feet was heard coming from behind them. Instantly, Kira and Allison were on guard, but relaxed when they realized it was Stiles and the others, "What is going on?"

"Scott got its scent," Micah answered.


Liam was chasing after Scott, "Scott, wait." He called out after him, but Scott doesn't stop as he continued following the scent, despite having to use some cars as leverage as he ran through a parking lot filled with cars.

"You're still hurt." Liam reminded him as Scott even as Scott continued running past a row of cars, "You gotta slow down."

Shockingly Scott does indeed slow down by car, just before forcing its trunk open, revealing a pair of bloody size ten.

"Scott?" A voice questioned, Scott slammed the trunk down and sees Mason, standing by one of the buses, "What are you doing to my car?"

"It's you." Scott breathed out in shock.

"What?" Mason questioned absolutely confused, "Liam, what's he talking about?" Liam doesn't answer him due to the horrifying truth, "Liam?"

That doesn't seem to matter when Corey appeared behind Mason, "Corey, wait!" Scott called out to him, but it doesn't stop the teen from taking Mason and turning themselves both invisible so they could run away.


Meanwhile, at Theo's lair Josh was staring the Dread Doctor mask, that Theo had stolen from Valack's operating room, "You want me to put it on?"

Theo was unimpressed at Josh's reluctance, "You won't die if you put it on."

"How do you know that?" He challenged, "Or is it just that you don't want to put it on yourself?" He started at Tracy, who stood by Theo's side, "Or you?"

"I'm not afraid to do it, Josh." She defended herself, "I'm just not stupid."

"Are you not getting that it could kill us?" Theo questioned him, "You're the one with the power."

From his corner in the lair, Deucalion spoke, "They want you to wear it, Josh, because the properties of the mask are based in electromagnetism." Josh eyed the blind Alpha suspiciously, "Pick it up and you'll see."

Josh does pick it up, but he was rather horrified by it, "What is this thing?"

"Product of genius and madness." Theo explained with some pride, "Two traits too often found in the same mind."

"The man who created the first was known only as "The Surgeon."" Deucalion shared, "Using practices in the farthest edges of pseudo-science, he harnessed electromagnetic fields in the masks... infusing them with a unique and deadly power."

A jolt of electricity came from the mask and ran into Josh's body, "I'm not putting this thing on." Josh refused and placed the mask back down, "You want to know who it is?" He questioned Theo. He pushed the mask towards his leader, "Do it yourself."

NEXT TIME ON TNH: La Bête du Gévaudan (January 21th)

Micah cleared his throat, "You know how my mother wants to kill me?" Stiles nodded, knowing some of the details of what had gone down at the abandoned army base, "I think she might want to kill you too."

There was a beat of silence, "You're right Derek doesn't like it." Derek told his cousin, looking quite frustrated before he started pacing in the room.

Stiles appeared to be rather offended, "Neither of your parents seem to like me." Stiles spoke not hiding the offense, "I can't walk around with a barrier around me," She told them immediately, "I should probably have a gun."

Derek halted his pacing at the statement and made a snorting sound, "I'm not giving you a gun."

"You're a werewolf and you have a gun." Stiles pointed out, "The Desert Wolf who is trying to kill me, has a gun." Recounting from the picture of gun shells that had been left behind, "I think I should probably have a gun."

"You missed shooting an Alpha, who was standing five feet away from you." Derek related.

Stiles gaped at him, remembering the time she held a gun, "I probably shouldn't have a gun." Stiles agreed without argument.


Allison was asleep on the couch in the Sheriff's office. Landon walked in and looked down on her, giving a look of consideration. He gently touched his friend on her forehead, which prompted an immediate reaction, "What?" She questioned, trying to shake off her sleep, "What happened? Who's dead?"

"No one." Landon told her as she sat up for him to take a seat, "Well, at least not yet."

They both checked their phones, but it appeared that no one has tried to contact them, "You okay?" Landon questioned her.

"Yeah, just jet lagged." Allison told him, "And this boot is starting to get on my nerves enough to where I just may take Stiles' offer."

Landon eyed her carefully, "Does your dad know, you're here?"

"Please, if my dad knew that I was here, he'd send me back on the first flight back to France." Allison laughed, "Which is why Isaac decided to stay behind and cover me."

Landon gave her a doubtful expression, "Decided?"

Allison gave a smirk and head tilt, "More like I beat him in a skirmish."
