Malia and Becca stood outside school the next morning.
"Hey Becca, are you going to watch lacrosse practice after school today?" Malia asked.
"Sorry, no can do. I have soccer practice." Becca responded.
"Soccer? I didn't know you played soccer."
"There's a lot you guys don't know about me. I'm more than just a werewolf you know." Becca said which made Malia laugh a little as they headed to first period which they had together.
Stiles, Lydia, and Kira are all in that class, too but are nowhere to be found.
"Malia, do you know where your friends are?" The teacher asked.
"I can try catching their scent," Malia replied. It was Becca's turn to laugh. Later on during class, Malia and Becca heard someone whispering their names.
They quickly exited the classroom to see Derek in the hallway.
"What are you doing here?" Becca asked.
"Brett's still out of it. I need to find his pack and warn them about the Deadpool." Derek responded.
"So what do you need us for?" Malia asked.
"I know a little something about this pack. They have a kind of secret meeting place in the woods. No one's spent more time in the woods of Beacon Hills than you. This is Brett's. Breathe it in." Derek said to Malia, throwing a jersey at her.
"What about Becca? Why is she coming?" Malia asked. Derek gave Becca a look.
Becca sighed. "Kate scratched me with rare wolfsbane and Satomi, the alpha of this pack has the cure."
"What happens if you don't get the cure?" Malia asked.
"I die. I only have a couple days left. I'm starting to lose my wolf senses. My scent is gone and my hearing is weak." Becca responded, staring at the floor. "Don't tell Scott though. He doesn't need another problem to fix."
Malia nodded and decided to drop the subject and turned back to Derek. "I'm not good at tracking yet," she said.
"Try it. I'll teach you. Focus on the different scents. Some are tied to identity. Others give off an emotion," Derek explained. Malia breathed in the scents of the jersey and then they drove out to the woods. While in the car, Becca got a text from Stiles. Her heart fluttered for a second when she saw his name on her screen.
"Stiles says he's with Lydia and Parrish. They're going to Eichen house to talk to Meredith." Becca told Malia and Derek. Malia smirked in the backseat. She had heard Becca's heart rate increase right before she said Stiles texted her.
Scott was still at school with Mason. Neither of them could figure out where Liam was. He was taken by Garrett while on a run with Mason. Scott got a call from him, but it was Garrett. He had a secret meeting with Garrett and agreed to help him get Violet back by attacking the car she was going to be transported in. Scott then called Becca.
"Hey, what's up?" She said. She was still in the car and they had figured out the wolves were at lookout point, an eastern point because buddhists look to the east for enlightenment and this was a buddhist pack.
"So, Garrett has Liam and I'm trying to figure out where he is, and I was wondering if maybe you've had any visions or anything like that." Scott said.
Becca's heart began to race. Scott didn't know about the wolfsbane and that her visions were gone. "No, I haven't gotten anything." She still refrained from telling Scott because he needed on focus on Liam right now.
"Then why is your heart beat raising?" Scott asked.
"Because...I'm worried about Liam," Becca answered, which wasn't a total lie. Scott wasn't that convinced, but he was too busy to question it so he hung up. Him and Garret then saw the police vehicle already flipped over in the middle of the road. Scott quickly rushed to the Sheriff who was pulling Scott's unconscious Dad. "They're still here," the Sheriff said to Scott as a berserker comes out of the shadows. Another berserker kills Garrett and the first one knocks Scott out from behind. He's found by Chris and brought to Deaton's and then heads out with Chris to find Kate and they do find her at Argent International Arms old warehouse. They find she has a dead Violet. They fight a little, then Kate leaves.
Becca, Malia, and Derek arrived at lookout point and got out of the car. Malia catches a bad scent. Derek tells the two girls to stay put while he checks it out. He finds the majority of Satomi's pack, dead. Malia and Becca come over and see. Then Braeden raises her bloody hand from her spot on the ground and Derek rushes over to her and takes her to the hospital. Malia and Becca stay in the woods to search for Becca's cure.
"Maybe Satomi has it, I don't sense an alpha anywhere. She might be alive somewhere." Malia suggests. Becca's face falls.
"Hey, I'm not very good at comforting people but...it'll be okay, we'll find the cure," Malia touched Becca's arm. Becca looked up at her and smiled with teary eyes and then turned away, letting her ginger locks hide her face. As she looked away, she saw a fire pit the werewolves were sitting around with a pots and bottles next to it. She quickly walked over to it. She searched through the bottles and Malia helped her. Then, Becca found the bottle labeled Guérir de Loup and held it up.
"It's empty," Malia said, frowning. Becca tried to hold back her tears but a few streamed down her face.
"Wait, look." Malia said, pointing to the pot hanging over the fire.
"Do you think this is it?" Becca asked.
"Gotta take the chance, right?" Malia said and Becca nodded and drank the contents of the pot. Just then Liam growled from the well he was being held in by Garrett.
"Did you hear that?" Malia asked Becca and Becca smiled. She was cured. A surge of pain flew through her head and she shut her eyes. She saw Liam in the well, hanging on to the sides, slipping. She opened her eyes.
"Malia, is there a well in this forest?"
"Yeah, follow me." Malia answered and the two started running, leaping over roots and rocks and dodging around trees until they reached a clearing with a mossy, stone well. Scott was leaning into it, pulling Liam up. Malia and Becca rushed over and helped Liam out.
"What are you guys doing here?" Scott asked.
"We went to look for Satomi's pack with Derek, but they were all dead when we got there," Malia said.
"Where's Derek now?" Scott asked.
"Taking Braeden to the hospital. We found her injured with the pack." Becca answered.
"Why didn't you guys go with him?" Liam asked.
"Because we had to stay and look for the cure for Becca." Malia responded, nonchalantly. Becca elbowed Malia in the stomach. "What? It doesn't matter now, you're fixed." Malia said to her.
"Cure? Why did you need a cure?" Scott asked, concerned.
"When Kate scratched me, I was infected with wolfsbane and I had a week to find the cure that Satomi had before I...well, you know…" Becca said.
"Die!?" Scott raised his voice. "You were going to die and you didn't tell me! I could have helped you."
"That's why I didn't tell you. I didn't want you helping me when more important things were going on."
"They weren't more important than saving your life." Scott stated quietly.
"Hey!" Liam said, offended.
"Not-not you Liam. I didn't mean it like that," Scott smiled and the group laughed a little bit before leaving the woods.
Back in Stiles's bedroom, him and Lydia try to figure out what the third cipher key was because Meredith freaked out and said she couldn't help them. Stiles suggests it's not another dead person, but someone who is going to die. Lydia concentrates and closes her eyes and types in Derek. It works. Becca, Liam, and Meredith are all on the list. Lydia calls Parrish to see if she can talk to Meredith again, but Parrish tells she killed herself.
…
Becca knocks on Stiles's window later that night. He opens it and let's her in. Papers were all over his floor and his board was covered in writing, strings, photos, and lists. Stiles looked exhausted with a pale face and puffy eyes.
"Hey there handsome." Becca greets him sarcastically, but not really.
"Why are you so energetic?" Stiles asked.
"Because I am no longer on my death bed." Becca said, lifting her shirt to reveal her healed stomach as proof. Stiles's face lit up.
"You found the cure!" Stiles said.
"Yep, it was at Satomi's pack's camp." Becca responded. "So, let's get to work figuring out who this benefactor is." she sat down on Stiles's bed looking at the board and grabbing some papers off the floor. Stiles sat down next to her
"We figured out the third cipher key," he said.
"Am I on the list?" she asked. Stiles nodded in response.
"Just when I thought I escaped death…" Becca said with a smile. Stiles smiled back at her as she grabbed a pile of papers and began looking them over. They both sat horizontally across the bed, leaning against the wall on the one side as they searched for answer. Becca began to doze off, but couldn't help but notice that Stiles was still wearing his bracelet as she fell asleep, leaning against his shoulder. He let her sleep for a little bit until midnight when he shook her awake. She was still half asleep when Stiles led her to his car and drove her home. Stiles insisted on walking her all the way to her door and when they got there Becca stopped before opening it.
"Thank you, Stiles." she said.
"No problem." he was about to turn away when she quickly kissed him on the cheek. He stood there, mouth gaping open as she went into her apartment and shut the door. He headed downstairs to his jeep and opened the door. He looked up at the rows of apartment windows before sitting down in his jeep. Only one had a light on and in it, a pretty girl with red hair sat at the window looking down at him. She opened the window. "Wild night, huh?" she called.
"Wild night," he repeated. "Goodnight, Becca."
"Goodnight, Stiles."
