Threat
AN: Hi everyone, I'm really excited about the next few chapters, especially as Steve's pack gets a bit more time in action. As always, let me know what you think. Also thank you for all of the reviews so far!
August crawled through the vents of Eichen House. He spotted an orderly making his rounds alone. August kicked the grate below him off and leapt to the ground. The orderly swung around pulling out an electric baton. "It's a bit overkill for fighting a human, don't you think?" August chastised.
"I think that makes it more fun," the orderly sneered as he walked towards August. August smiled back as the orderly swung the baton at his face. August ducked and grabbed the orderly's arm, breaking it in the process. The baton clanged to the floor as the orderly drove his other arm into August's gut. August collapsed with the wind knocked out of him. The orderly kicked August on the side of the head, causing him to roll across the floor. "A lot more fun," the orderly said retrieved the baton and moved to electrocute August.
"I think I've had enough fun for today," August grunted as he kicked up and pulled the orderly down by his broken arm. He released the baton with his other hand, it flew into a wall and fell to the ground in pieces. August delivered a swift punch to the orderly's head, slamming it into the ground and knocking the guard out before his scream could be heard. He wiped the blood from his nose as he took the orderly's key card. He dragged the man to a nearby closet and deposited his unconscious body. "Sleep tight," August stated as he closed the door and headed through the halls to the administrator's office.
August searched the desk for any information on Lydia and Fiona. He pulled out the blueprints and started to examine them.
"I'm fairly certain this area is off limits to unauthorized personnel," August heard behind him.
"I'm fairly certain you shouldn't be here this late, right, Marin?" He asked not turning around.
"I came in after hearing what you did to that guard. I was wondering if you wanted to talk. You seem to have a lot of pent-up rage."
"I use it in constructive ways."
"I believe what you did was the exact opposite of constructive."
"It got me here, getting a lecture from you. I'd say that's pretty constructive," turning to face the woman.
Marin crossed her arms. "That keycard is reset every night."
"All the more reason to use this time to find everything I can," August said as he resumed his search.
"Patient files aren't kept here, and I'm not going to let you access them."
"Ah, you're great moral code."
"I know you don't like me, but that doesn't mean I can't help you."
"Can't say I'm too fond of your methods, neither is my family."
"I'd say that's strange since for a long time your family was about keeping the balance too."
"I don't see how kidnapping my brother keeps the balance," August stated as he pulled an emergency procedure binder. "Besides, I don't follow my families code anymore."
"I was doing what was necessary. He was never meant to be in danger," Marin stated.
"But he was in danger, because you took him away from us."
"You and your father would not have been able to take on the harpies, and you would have died."
"The pack would have been able to stop them if they had."
"All the more reason for me to do what was necessary to keep the pack there alive. It was crucial to have a pack in that area."
"Was removing them from the Republic, away from help, necessary for that as well?" August asked as he grabbed the binder and blueprints and started for the door. Marin's head shifted slightly to the side. "My father removed the pack after Marcus was taken. We haven't been able to get back in since then. So, thanks for that."
"I was doing what was necessary," she repeated.
August stopped in the doorway and glared into Marin's face. "I do what's necessary too."
"Then do it," she said gesturing at the knives on his belt.
"Unfortunately, you're necessary for keeping Fiona safe," he walked away and headed back for the vent.
"Got what we needed?" Zach asked once August had returned to the rooftop.
"It's a start. I'm going to get some rest before mapping the patrols," he said as he headed towards the small tent they set up on the roof.
The chimeras stepped out of their cars as they pulled up outside of an ornate house.
"Not what you would expect to find while searching for a psychopathic, blind alpha," Josh commented as the five of them looked at the house.
"Doesn't matter," Tracy replied. "We found him, now let's take him."
"You think he's just packaged ready to grab?" Hayden asked her.
Tracy growled as she flipped out her claws, venom dripped down them. Corey gulped behind them. "There's five of us and one of him. We'll be fine," Lucas said.
The chimeras slowly made their way towards the house. They tried to peer through the windows but all of the lights were off and they couldn't sense any movement. The rest of the chimeras looked at each other before Lucas pointed to the second floor. They looked up to see a faint shadow passing by one of the windows.
Tracy leapt off the ground and onto the balcony before charging through the window. The others heard her body thud against the wall. Corey stayed on the ground as the others hopped up after her. Josh's body crackled with electricity as he ran at the alpha. Deucalion stepped aside as he swung a chair at Josh's face. The chimera dropped, unconscious as Hayden ran forward, but she was effortlessly tossed into a glass cabinet. The scent of blood filled the air as the glass cut into her face.
Lucas smiled and popped out his spines. He approached the alpha slowly, the two circling each other slightly before Lucas sent his left fist forward. Deucalion turned to avoid the attack, and Lucas passed the spines on his right arm across the alpha's abdomen. Deucalion was barely able to move his arm to intercept the attack. "Ah," Deucalion hissed as the spines cut into him, the venom melting the skin on his arm away. "I see someone has been properly trained. Well not literally," he added as he grabbed Lucas's arm. The alpha twisted it causing Lucas's shoulder to pop out of socket. Lucas grunted in pain as Deucalion forced him to the ground with the broken arm. "I suppose you came to find out more about The Beast," Deucalion continued as Tracy rose up behind him. "But what did you expect from a psychotic, blind," Deucalion whipped around grabbing Tracy's arm, his glasses flying off revealing his bloodied eyes, as he growled, "Alpha."
Tracy growled and Deucalion snapped the bones in her arms. She drove her other hand into Deucalion's side. The alpha's grip loosened slightly on the two chimeras before he fell to the floor.
Josh and Hayden dragged Deucalion out of the room and towards the stairs. Tracy and Lucas followed behind them as the alpha's feet bounced down each step.
"We could have used your help back there," Josh grunted once they met Corey outside.
"I'm not like you guys. I don't have claws or fangs—" he stated.
"That's cause you're weak," Tracey told him as the others put Deucalion in the back of the car.
"We all have our talents," Lucas told her, as he moved his shoulder back into place.
"Didn't realize scared baby was a talent," she stated.
"Better than being a psychotic bitch," Lucas told her. Tracey shifted and growled at him, Lucas returned the gesture.
"That's enough," Hayden said pushing them apart.
"Ah, infighting. It really keeps a team strong," Deucalion sighed from the backseat.
Josh slammed the door shut before turning to the others. "We better get going before the toxin wears off."
"I can always give him more," Tracey stated, turning away from Lucas and heading for the passenger side door.
"I guess that means you two are coming with me," Hayden told Corey and Lucas.
Hayden followed Josh after they had gotten into the cars. "You know, we could always try again. It's a second chance for both of us," Lucas told Corey.
"I'm with Mason now," Corey stated, looking at the floor.
"Yeah, but you were with me."
"And then you died."
"And you died too. But now we're both alive."
"You were dead for a while. I moved on," Corey told him with an apologetic look. Lucas huffed in response. "The last time we spoke, you attacked me."
"It was an accident. I didn't have control."
"But do you know how much pain I was in? And you just left me. And tried to hook up with Mason at Cinema."
"He's got a point," Hayden mentioned.
"You really think you can be with Mason while being in Theo's pack?" Lucas asked.
Corey opened his mouth to respond but couldn't find any words. Hayden looked over at the chimera before looking back towards the road.
Steve rode to the hospital with Scott, Stiles, and Kira. They went down the elevator to the morgue to meet with the sheriff. "Who found them?" Stiles asked looking at the stream of bodies coming in.
"Argent. And he said the Doctors were down there. He also said you guys might know what this thing is," the sheriff stated.
"We've got a theory," Scott said.
"It's a slightly terrifying theory," Stiles added.
"Mild understatement," Steve commented.
"The ME said the victims were killed somewhere else and then dumped in those tunnels," the sheriff said.
"What if the Dread Doctors are hiding the bodies?" Scott asked the group.
"Why would they do that?" Kira asked.
"Maybe they're covering for it. Protecting it like a parent would," Stiles said.
"Protecting what?" the sheriff asked.
"A werewolf," Scott told him.
"The Beast," Steve added.
"We know. Horrifying," Stiles added seeing his dad's reaction.
"We better figure out what we're gonna call Parrish. Because it looks like his dream is coming true."
"I can have Charlie look into it," Steve told them.
"Yeah, I'll see what I can find too," Stiles said as the group started to walk back towards the elevator.
"Hold up," the sheriff said, "Steve, do you know that lying to the sheriff is considered obstruction of justice?"
"Dad, you can't be serious."
"I am, but I didn't feel it was my place to tell you the truth," Steve told him.
The sheriff looked at him sternly "Dad."
"Get out of here," he said after a moment, his face lightening. The group headed up the elevator and out of the hospital.
Fiona heard a fence rattling. She headed towards the exit of the basement. Turned a corner and saw another woman scream at Lydia, throwing her backwards. The hall changed and Fiona was now in front of the cell from earlier. "Did that feel real?" The woman said before closing the cell door. "Who are you?" the woman asked turning her head to see Fiona.
"Another banshee," Fiona stated.
The woman turned back towards Lydia as Fiona continued to approach the two. "You want out? Break the glass."
"It's not just glass, Meredith. It's bullet-resistant polycarbonate," Lydia told her.
"So, make your voice a bullet," the woman said.
"Can you do this?" Lydia sighed looking at Fiona.
"Yes."
"How?"
"Focus your voice," Fiona answered.
"That's not helpful," Lydia gritted through her teeth.
"Break the glass," Meredith ordered. "Break the glass."
Steve walked into the school and noticed the deputies armed with shotguns patrolling the school. "By order of the sheriff, a countywide curfew goes into effect at sundown. All afterschool activities are canceled until further notice. Students should go directly home at the end of the school day," the PA announcer stated.
Steve continued down the halls and noticed Stiles talking with one of the deputies, Scott was coming from the opposite direction.
"You don't think this a bit much in terms of firepower for a high school?" Stiles asked.
"Your dad's the one who issued us these things. And he wouldn't officially state why," the deputy answered.
"Did he say anything unofficially?" Scott asked.
"No, but everyone's got a theory."
"What's yours," Stiles asked.
"I shouldn't be talking to you guys. Shouldn't you be in class?"
"Just tell us," Steve said.
The deputy leaned in and asked, "Do you guys believe in the supernatural?"
"No, it's all fairy tales," Steve said chuckling while Scott and Stiles looked at each other with surprised expressions.
"Something's going on here," the deputy said before walking away.
"Really? Fairy tales?" Stiles said looking at Steve.
"Yeah, pretty sure we're living the story of the big bad wolf," Steve told them.
The other two looked at him as they walked to class.
Jay headed towards his next class. "Why do we have to go to school?" he sighed to the pack.
"So, everyone can stay with who they're supposed to be watching. Something you're doing a terrible job at." Charlie stated.
"I'm enjoying it, might come back after everything is over," Leonard thought.
Jay caught Malia's scent and ignored the rest of the conversation. He followed the scent through the halls before he heard her voice.
"I need you to tell Scott something for me," she said.
"Um, why me?" Liam asked.
"Because I can't right now. Are you gonna do it or not?"
"Uh, he's not really talking to me. You should get someone else. Literally anyone else."
"Just tell him he was right about the tunnels. Just tell him that, okay?"
"What do you mean?"
"When we were down there looking for you and Hayden. We didn't know it yet, but we were a lot closer than we thought. There's an operating theater down there. Down in the tunnels."
Jay walked into the boy's locker room and started to walk towards her.
"How do you know?" Liam asked
"Mostly by scent. Just tell him, okay? Tell Scott he was right." Malia said as she turned into Jay.
"Please don't punch me again," Jay said putting his hands up.
"Come on," she growled pulling him out of the locker room. "Can you fight or not?" she asked slamming him against the lockers.
"I told you. I move fast and I'm witty," Jay told her. "I can dodge, be a distraction—"
"Be a liability."
"I beat you the first time," he reminded her. She snarled before letting him go and walking away. "I'm assuming that I can come, y'know, since I'm still conscious and all," he shouted after her. She didn't respond and kept walking away. Jay pushed off the lockers and followed her.
She ran off once they exited the school, but Jay caught up to her. "You could tell me where we are going and I could just meet you there," he told her slowing himself to her pace. She ignored him and just kept running. "You're not very social," he shouted. They continued to run until they made it to the animal clinic where Braeden was waiting for them. Theo showed up a few seconds later
"What's the problem?" she asked Braeden after describing what she had seen.
"Besides the fact that I've never seen this place beyond a few aerial photos and we're basically going in blind?" she replied. "Him." She said pointing her gun at Theo.
"Would you mind not pointing that thing at me?"
"I agree with Braeden," Jay added.
"He's coming with us, unless you can learn how to fight in the next few minutes," Malia said looking at Jay.
"He tried to kill Scott," Braeden argued.
"Technically I did kill Scott," Theo bragged.
"I should kill you," she replied
"Won't happen with a shotgun."
"You sure about that?" Jay asked.
"Stop, all of you," Malia said.
"I did what I had to do to survive. The Dread Doctors wanted everybody dead. I convinced them that it could just be Scott."
"You could still tell Scott," Braeden told Malia.
"When we have Deaton back."
"He's not going to blame you for the Desert Wolf taking him."
"But he might stop me from killing her. Theo won't."
"Actually, I'm planning to help."
"Don't be so confident. She's known to carry some pretty heavy firepower," Braeden warned him.
"But, what does a werecoyote need with guns?" Theo asked.
"There's a story," Braeden started. "I don't know all the details, but something happened a long time ago. Somehow, she lost part of her power. She's not as fast or as strong as she used to be. But she can still pull a trigger, and she's a perfect shot."
"Sun's going down. We need to go," Malia said and moved towards the door. She stopped and held Jay against the wall, "You tell anyone what I'm doing, and I'll kill you too." Jay looked at her wide-eyed. "I can smell Steve all over you." She continued towards the door before turning to everyone. "You coming or not?"
The group drove to Fort Jewett in relative silence. Braeden stopped down the road from the fort and the group got out of the car. Braeden pulled out her monocular to scope out the building. "No guards. No lights. This place looks completely abandoned." She stated.
"That should be easier for us, right?" Malia asked.
"Not necessarily. Especially if she knows we're coming. You sure this is the place you saw?"
"Unless there's another Fort Jewett."
"Maybe she left," Theo said, "Maybe Deaton's already gone."
"I'm not walking away on a maybe," Malia stated.
"And I'm not walking in on so much uncertainty," Braeden said.
"I can scout ahead, I doubt she's had much target practice against a werecheetah," Jay offered.
"You'd be dead wrong," Braeden told him.
"You said you've been after her for years," Malia said.
"And why do you think it's been years? Because she knows what she's doing. She took Scott's boss for a reason. We don't even know what it is. We don't know if she's back in Beacon Hills because she's missed you all this time and can't wait for a mother-daughter reunion or if she's planning to put a bullet in your head. We don't know anything."
"We know one thing. We know where she is. I'm going in. I have to," Malia said as she started off towards the fort. The rest of the group followed.
"One of you, please just tell me how you did it," Lydia begged, winded from her previous attempts.
"You have to find your own way," Meredith said.
"I sorta inherited it," Fiona stated.
"Why can't you tell me yours?" Lydia asked.
"Because, my way got people hurt," Meredith started, "Some days it was quiet for me. Other days, all I could hear was screaming. People dying."
"What people?" Lydia asked.
"Everyone. Everywhere. I was in Chemistry class when it happened," Meredith continued, making gestures as she went, "I had my hands over my ears. The teacher was trying to figure out what was wrong. I took my hands and I started hitting the desk. Until I couldn't take it anymore and I just screamed."
"What happened?"
"All the windows shattered. I saw kids with glass in their arms, in their faces. Some of them had blood coming out of their ears. They said it was an explosion. Cause by chemicals. But everyone knew it was me," She leaned into the glass. "Find a better way, Lydia. My voice is like a bomb going off. Yours needs to be a bullet."
A gun cocked in the halls. "Did you hear that?" Lydia asked them.
"Yes," Fiona said looking to where the wall was behind Lydia. Meredith nodded and did the same.
Lydia turned to see Malia cowering at the mouth of a cave. "Malia?" Lydia said, moving to the back wall but being stopped by the glass. "Malia." A silhouette pointed a gun at Malia before a figure replaced the shadow. "Is this real, or is this in my head?"
"I think you know what a banshee premonition feels like," Meredith told her.
Malia began to back into the rocks, grunting in fear. "She's going to die," Lydia said flatly.
Jay ran at the woman with a gun before being blasted away. "Lydia, you need to break the glass," Fiona told her.
Once night fell, August spotted Stiles leaving Eichen. "Fly me down there. But stay here in case something happens. Let me know right away."
August landed behind Stiles and Zach swooped back towards the building. "They're going to drill a hole into her head. We have to get her out of there. I got this," Stiles said brandishing a key card.
"I have one too," August said taking his out, "They reset the cards every night, though."
"Damn," Stiles whispered as he looked in through the fence.
"But," August said pulling taking out the binder, "If they follow procedure, all cards become active during a system reboot," Stiles turned to face August. "I also have the blueprints."
"That's incredibly helpful," Stiles stated grabbing the binder and opening it.
"We can look at it more elsewhere. While we figure out a plan," August told him as he moved for Stiles's Jeep.
Steve and Charlie caught up with Scott and Liam. Scott turned around and nodded his head to greet them. He paused for a minute before asking, "Do you feel that?"
"Like something's vibrating," Liam said.
"I can't tell where it's coming from."
"It's coming from everywhere," Liam said feeling the ground.
Steve felt along the wall looking for changes in the vibration, Charlie followed behind him.
"I was just trying to do something right," Liam said.
"You do a lot right," Scott told him.
"Yeah, but I did one thing really wrong."
"Hayden's alive. Everything before that doesn't matter." Scott told him.
"It should," Liam said as Steve rounded the corner he stopped when the vibration felt weaker. "I feel like I had to do more than just say sorry."
"Actually, you still haven't done that," Scott told him.
Steve and Charlie paused as they were making their way back, not wanting to interfere with the conversation.
"Back at my old school," Liam started, "At Devenford, I got into a fight with this kid. I knocked two of his teeth out. They made me write a letter of apology. We both knew it meant nothing. We both knew that sooner or later, we were gonna get into another fight. I can't just say I'm sorry. I feel like I have to do something. Like maybe, somehow I have to save your life."
"Don't worry," Scott told him putting his hand on the beta. "I'm pretty sure you'll get a chance."
"Well not down here. We've been walking around here for hours and all we've been able to find is some stupid snake sculpture on the wall," Liam said pointing at the wall. The two alphas moved to examine it. "Think it's important?"
"Ouroboros," Steve muttered.
Scott slowly started to turn the snake causing a section of the wall to open next to them and revealing a door. The four wolves moved to open the door and were greeted by Chris Argent pointing his gun at them.
"Old habits die hard, eh, Chris?" Charlie joked.
A scent made it to Steve's nose and he shifted and roared. Liam reached over to hold him back.
"You didn't?" Scott asked once he smelled it.
"I had to," Chris admitted as Gerard walked around the corner. Charlie shifted as well and Scott moved to hold him back.
"Hello, Scott," Gerard said. "Steve." He nodded in his direction. Scott's eyes flashed red. "I haven't seen that color on you. It suits you." He moved around to get a better look at Steve. "I'm always surprised when I see you with those eyes. I definitely thought Charlie would become the alpha after what he uncovered."
Both the wolves growled again and tried to move past Scott, but Scott and Liam held them back.
"Who's the old guy?" Liam grunted as he struggled against Steve
"At the moment, they would call me a necessary evil. But you can call me Gerard," he chuckled.
"After everything he's done, to us and your family. What were you thinking, Chris?" Steve growled.
"We need him," Chris told them.
"That's right," Gerard said. "If you want to catch the Beast of Gevaudan, you're going to need more than one Argent."
"We've got two alphas with two packs," Charlie snarled.
"We need more than numbers and raw power," Chris said approaching the four, "He knows all the stories. All the folklore. Everything written and everything passed down."
"You're sure about this?" Scott asked.
"Calm down and take a look," Chris stated leading them to painting that was hidden behind a tiled wall. It showed two large figures fighting each other. "The one on the right is the Beast of Gevaudan. Do you know what the other one is?"
"A hellhound," Steve and Gerard stated at the same time.
"It's a guardian of supernatural places. They're both creatures of the night, but you may know them as ordinary people during the day," Gerard finished.
"And most likely, neither of them know what they are," Chris added. The four wolves look at one another. "What is it?" Chris asked.
"We found a message in Latin. Damnatio Memoriae," Scott told him
Chris looked towards Gerard. "That want it to remember itself," the old man stated.
"That might give us time," Chris said.
"Time for what?" Steve asked.
"To prevent this," Chris kicked away the bottom half of tiles revealing a pile of corpses.
"Who are they?" Liam asked.
"Us," the alphas said together, "It's all of us."
The four crept around a staying as quiet as possible. Jay followed closely to Malia looking for any sign of movement. "There's something wrong," Malia whispered.
"Is it a scent?" Braeden asked.
"I don't know."
They continue past the next truck. "It's Deaton," Jay said spotting a man tied to a chair. The four moved towards the man. But Theo attacked Braeden before they could get much closer. He knocked Braeden out with her gun, before turning and shooting Malia in the abdomen. He fired the gun at Jay, but Jay ran off behind a truck. Malia stumbled backwards and landed in front of another truck.
"It was me, wasn't it?" Theo said to Malia while Jay moved around the truck to get behind Theo, "You picked up a chemosignal. Probably regret. 'Cause I didn't really want to do this but I didn't have a choice." Jay prepared to charge at Theo before the chimera slid the gun to a woman who stepped out from behind another truck. Malia looked back, groaning in pain, as the woman threw a jar at Theo. The talons in the jar began to glow blue. "You should have listened to Jay and Braeden," Theo said before walking away.
Once Theo had passed him Jay charged after him, but Theo knocked Jay to the ground with one hand, his back still turned.
The premonition vanished as the lights started to flicker. Lydia spun in the room looking for the vision to reappear. "Don't get lost, Lydia. You can help them, but you have to get out of here first," Meredith told her.
"They're in trouble. I think it's happening now," Lydia stated, "Can't you do anything?" she asked Fiona.
"I'm stuck here with you, you need to break the glass."
They heard Malia scream. "You know your real name isn't Malia," a woman's voice echoed.
"Oh, god. She's found her," Lydia muttered.
"You are a sorry excuse of a supernatural creature aren't you," Theo stated walking towards Jay, "Can you even fight."
"I run fast—" Jay started.
"And you're witty. I've heard. Not going to do you much good right now though, is it?" Theo said, brandishing his claws.
"I'm gonna kick your ass," Jay growled before running behind another truck.
"By hiding? That's not going to work," Theo said dragging his claws against a truck. "I can smell you."
"Corinne! You can't get it back like this. It has to be a full moon. You kill her now and you get nothing," Jay heard Deaton say.
"You can help them," Meredith shouted when Lydia fell to the floor, "Lydia!"
Lydia snapped back up. "Lydia, break the glass," Fiona said.
"Break the glass," Meredith screamed pounding on the cell.
Lydia moved her hands in front of her before pushing forward and screaming.
Fiona and Meredith were thrown backwards, landing on the floor as pieces of glass flew past them.
A scream erupted through the fort, shattering all of the lights, the partial moon above was the only light left. Jay's ears were ringing but he heard muffled yelling as Malia and the Desert wolf started to fight. Jay ran to the back of the truck as Theo came around the front. He moved along the other side of the truck before returning to the front as Theo continued to follow him.
"My scent should be all over the truck now," Jay thought after they had completed a few laps. Jay moved ahead so that he was now behind Theo. He hoped Theo's ears were still ringing as he ran up behind the chimera. Jay kicked Theo in the rear causing Theo to fall forward, the jar with talons rolling away. "Told you I'd kick your ass," Jay said. He turned to run off again but froze when he heard the wall behind Deaton smash open.
"Sounds like they need some help," Theo chuckled from the ground. Jay took off towards Deaton but slowed when he saw a large, smoke covered set of claws tear through the wall.
"Malia," Deaton called out. Malia turned towards the vet before turning back to find that the Desert Wolf had disappeared. The Beast reached out and grabbed the chair Deaton was tied to, dragging him towards the wall. Jay and Malia sprinted toward him and began to cut away the tape binding the vet before pulling him to safety.
"Come on," Malia shouted once Jay helped Braeden to her feet. The four ran back to the SUV and Braeden took off down the road as they heard The Beast roar back in the fort.
The storm picked up and it started to pour. Zach was headed back for the tent before he heard shouting in the courtyard below. He peered over the ledge and saw Lydia attempting to flee from the guards. She was quickly surrounded by three guards. She started to fight, turning to the one behind her, kicking him and using her scream to knock him back. She dodged the other two guard's attack before blasting one away with her scream. She twisted the last guard's arm and threw him away using her voice.
Zach leapt off the roof and flew down to grab her. "August, Lydia is making a break for it. She's escaping Eichen." He saw Lydia run towards the gate as he leveled out near the ground. Zach felt a shock run through his body from his chest. He saw a guard with an electrified baton before he careened to the side and bounced off the ground He looked up and saw that Lydia had stopped at the stairs leading to the exit before she stepped back.
Zach couldn't see anyone in her way and couldn't understand why she wasn't running. The three guards from earlier caught up with her and shocked her in the back, dropping her to her knees. Zach looked ahead and saw four more guards approaching him with their batons at their sides.
"Please, I have to tell them," Lydia said as she was electrocuted, "They're all going to die. My friends. They're all going to die."
Zach flew off the ground and watch as Lydia was brought back inside. "Never mind," Zach thought.
Theo walked into the building staring at his injured pack. "All this to take down one blind werewolf?" he asked.
"Recently reblinded," Deucalion stated from the ground. They had attached the alpha to a tank of liquid wolfsbane. "Unfortunately, the healing of my eyes by a dark druid proved only temporary. A parting gift from my time with Scott McCall. Friend of yours?"
"We're working through some issues," Theo told him.
"He knows why he's here," Tracy said. "He knows about The Beast."
"The Beast of Gevaudan. History's most vicious, most famous werewolf. And you think I'm going to show you how to steal its power."
"I think you're open to negotiation," Theo told him. "All you have to do is tell me what you want."
"I want his eyes. On the tips of my claws," the alpha said, brandishing his claws. "I want the eyes of Scott McCall.
Steve and Charlie walked into the Animal Clinic behind Scott and Liam.
They saw Malia holding her gut and Braeden tending to a wound on her forehead. Jay rose from his chair when he saw the wolves walk in. Deaton was cleaning up glass before turning to embrace Scott.
"You should have called for help," Charlie told Jay.
Jay looked towards Malia. "I didn't really have that option."
"I don't blame you," Steve smiled as he patted Jay on the shoulder.
August stepped into Stiles's room and set the items on the desk. He grabbed the blueprint and tapped it to the board in the middle of the room as Stiles flipped through the binder.
"Hope you're not attached to any of this stuff," Stiles said as he moved to rip out a page.
"I am. It's very sentimental," August told him. Stiles froze looking up at the hunter before realizing it was a joke. He ripped the page out and tapped it to the board next the blueprint.
"Let's get started," Stiles said as he stepped back.
