The girls got out of Lydia's car, their eyes flickering across the clinic's sign, before Eva turned to Lydia again, "Nothing?" She asked, pulling her brows into a frown, and Lydia reciprocated Eva's troubled expression as she closed her eyes. After a minute, Lydia shook her head as she opened her eyes again, "I know I can hear it, I know it's there…I just…"

"It's okay." Eva quickly told her, glancing sideways at Allison who wrapped her arm around Lydia's shoulder and guided her towards the clinic's door.

The bell chimed announcing their entrance, "Scott?" Eva called out, "In here!" Eva glanced back at Allison and Lydia before she pushed into the clinic, finding Scott and Deaton in one of the exam rooms, hunched over a bunch of papers and the pictures from the morgue, which Eva immediately diverted her eyes from, meeting Scott's gaze almost immediately, "Anything?"

"All we know is that Oak Creek is a place in Beacon Hills County, that's it." Deaton started as he stood up and turned to Eva, and she frowned, "A place? Like what, is it part of the reserve now? Is it empty? Is it an old town?"

"We don't have any specifics, but we know it's close to Eichen House." Scott muttered, before he turned to hold Eva's gaze, "You're the only one who knows enough about Eichen House."

"I don't know anything about that place except that something is off about it." Eva shook her head almost dreadfully, "Doesn't Mrs. Morrell know anything?" She asked, turning to Deaton, who shook his head slowly, "Marin only started working there recently, a year or two behind."

"But she had to have felt what I felt when I walked into that place." Eva frowned, and Deaton pursed his lips, "Not all druids possess divination, Eva. Only select ones do – the original lines and their descendants." Deaton muttered quietly before he looked up at her, "You are part of a very powerful line of druids."

Eva chewed at her lip when she heard what Deaton said and she shook her head quickly, "Well, that power means nothing to me right now if I can't use it, and I'm obviously not helping at all. We need something that will help us find out who dies next."

"Is there going to be a next?" Scott's tone rose with his alarm, and Eva turned back to Lydia, "She wrote another riddle in her notebook." Eva whispered, "All the riddles I heard, Lydia had written them down unaware, and she had another one written, a new one."

"I hear something." Lydia whispered, flexing her fingers at her sides as she closed her eyes.

"Pen, paper, quick." Eva started, turning to Deaton with wide eyes when Lydia's lips began trembling. "I can hear it…It's…"

"What is it, Lydia?" Allison asked as Deaton somehow managed to scavenge for a pencil and a paper to set them down on the exam table.

"I don't know...It's literally on the tip of tongue…It's…It literally makes me want to scream." Lydia whispered, and Eva looked up at her, "You're a wailing woman, Lydia. Scream. Just scream."

When Lydia parted her lips, they were all very positive they'd heard the most blood-curdling scream there is. With everyone's hands over their ears, their eyes shut tightly, as the scream disappeared into thin air like someone had choked the sound out of Lydia's lips. Lydia's eyes snapped open, and she hurried towards the table just as Eva let down her hands and opened her eyes, watching as Lydia grabbed the pencil and almost robotically scribbled into the paper.

When she was done, she stepped back, and Deaton picked up the paper. "I didn't know you knew how to write Japanese, Lydia." Deaton whispered, before he turned to her, and Lydia's eyes finally regained emotion as they flickered nervously across the faces of everyone in the room. "I don't."

Eva moved beside Deaton to peer into the paper and she frowned, before she looked up at Scott again, "Kira does, though." Eva mentioned, recalling the day after the rave when she'd woken Kira up and saw the book written in vertical lines underneath her head. "Did she not pick up when you called her?"

"It went straight to voicemail." Scott shook his head slowly, and Eva shook her head slowly, "We need to get to her."

"Wait, weren't the twins and Isaac supposed to be here?" Allison started, as if at the mention of people who were supposed to be here, she remembered. Scott looked up at her and frowned, "No one came here."

"What do you mean no one came? Aiden told me he was on his way to Deaton's when you called and filled us in on everything." Lydia started, her eyes widening some as her gaze flickered between Scott and Deaton.

"I'll go look for them." Allison quickly offered a solution, "You go find Kira." Allison assured them then turned to Lydia, "You need to come with me, I have no way to get around." Allison muttered, and Lydia nodded quickly, reaching over to take Allison's outstretched hand.

"Be careful." Eva called out after them and frowned as they both left, before she turned to Scott and nodded slowly, "Let's go."

"I'll call you if I find anything on Oak Creek." Deaton told them as he handed the paper Lydia had written in to Eva, and she folded it in twice before she shoved it into her jean's pocket, then she tugged out her phone as she followed Scott out to the car. "Hey, Mr. Stilinski, yeah…I just wanted to check in on Stiles, how is he?"

"He's okay, just woke up. They're about to do the MRI now. No-Stiles, okay, okay-here—" The Sheriff's voice was cut off and Eva lifted a brow, before a small smile curled on her lips when she heard Stiles' voice, "Hey girlfriend."

"Hey boyfriend." Eva laughed a little, "How are you feeling now? Does your head still hurt?"

"I can barely feel my head. It's just a weight on my shoulders right now." Stiles grumbled, "I thought you'd be here when I woke up." Stiles frowned, and Eva could almost see him pout. She looked up at Scott, not even trying to conceal her guilty expression, "Well, my dad needed me home. You know he can't cook to save his own life." She lied, and she could almost hear Stiles laugh a little, "Yeah, I know all about that."

"So when you're done just give me a call or shoot me a text okay? It's not like we're going to school tomorrow or anytime soon anyways so I'll try to come over as soon as I can." Eva muttered, smiling a little. "That sounds good. That sounds really good. You're not snooping around without me right?"

"Wha- no, no. I wouldn't. How could I even find anything without you?" Eva forced a small smile on her lips. "I have to go now, okay?"

"Yeah, sure, of course." Eva muttered, "Stiles, when you're in the machine, just hum something. It's easier to drown out the noise." Eva added quickly, "Any other advice? That thing looks like it just fell out of a Star Wars movie and I've learned never to trust any of these."

"Yeah...Just…distract yourself." Eva shrugged a little as she walked away from Scott, "Just think of something that's easy to focus on."

"Hm, how about your eyes?" Stiles offered, "You have really beautiful eyes, Eva Davis."

Eva felt the blush creep up on her face, "Are you still on drugs, Stiles Stilinski?"

"No, I just speak the truth." Stiles shrugged, and she licked her lips before she exhaled, "Fine then, think of me…Think of us, in your room, on your bed." Eva smiled to herself, almost laughing a little when she heard Stiles gulp.

"Doing stuff?" He muttered, his voice dropping to a whisper. "Sexy stuff." Eva corrected and smiled broadly, "Naked, sexy stuff." Eva daringly added.

"I think of that inside the MRI machine." Stiles mumbled to himself, "Just don't make yourself look too obvious." Eva whispered, and laughed when she heard Stiles curse under his breath. "You're the best girlfriend ever." Stiles whispered into the phone, and Eva laughed a little, "Talk to you later, boyfriend."

Eva hung up, the small smile still curled on her lips as she turned to Scott, whose face was a mixture of horror and awe. "You guys…are…" Scott started, and Eva laughed a little, "How is he?" Scott finally breathed out before he swung his leg over the dirt bike, "He's okay, they're doing the MRI on his head now. I told him to call me once he was done." Eva smiled a bit, before the smile fell when she realized the task at hand, and she shook her head slowly, "I don't like lying to him."

"You said it yourself. He's hurt. I know that wouldn't stop him but someone had to." Scott pointed out as he handed Eva the helmet, and she sighed heavily, trying to convince herself with Scott's words before she put the helmet over her head and wrapped her arms around Scott's torso, shutting her eyes tightly as she shrunk in her little seat, waiting until the whole trip was over.

Eva glanced sideways at Scott once he kicked the kickstand down to hold up the bike, and she shook her head slowly, "What do you hear?"

Scott closed his eyes slowly, pulling his brows together as he tilted his head, "Nothing…I can't hear anything." Eva blinked as Scott opened his eyes and looked down at her, "I can't hear her heartbeat."

"That's…That's not good." Eva breathed out hesitantly, her heart picking up pace with concern as they both almost ran towards the house. Scott reached out to open the door, and frowned when it turned out to be unlocked. "Get behind me." Scott instructed Eva, but she shook her head defiantly. "I'm beside you. I'm right beside you." Eva told him, and Scott glanced down at her, before he breathed out when he realized nothing he'd say would change her mind, and he walked in.

There no signs of a fight in the house – however, they both walked cautiously.

"What are you guys doing here?"

Scott and Eva whirled around, both wearing white faces and wide eyes as they stared agape at Kira, who stood by one of the sliding doors. "You're here? How are you here? We left messages and we called and…" Eva started, the words gushing out of her lips before Scott interrupted, "And I couldn't hear your heartbeat." Scott paused, before he met Kira's gaze, "I still can't hear your heartbeat."

"That's because I was learning to cover my aura, and conceal myself." Kira explain hurriedly, just as Noshiko walked out of the same room both of them were in, "And you're doing a great job." Noshiko smiled, the pride making her face almost glow, and Eva felt a stab at the sight, a stab of pain, a stab of jealousy. She quickly looked down so Scott did the talking.

"I'm glad you're okay." Scott sighed, "But we need to talk. Can you read this?" Scott asked as he turned to Eva, who quickly brought out the paper to hand it to him, who in turn handed it to Kira. She pulled her brows together as she stared down at it, "Bolt of lightning…" Kira pulled her brows together as she looked up at Scott, "Where did you get this from?"

"Lydia wrote it." Scott started, "It's a clue – it has to be."

"A clue for what?" Kira turned to Eva, who took a deep breath, "Those suicides…I don't think they're suicides." Eva started, "Something is doing this. And so far we've got a bruise that's morse code for Oak Creek, and apparently now, a Japanese message that says bolt of lightning." Eva pursed her lips into a thin line, "We have basically nothing. And someone is going to die."

"You don't have nothing."

The teenagers turned to Noshiko, who had apparently lingers by the door across from the room with a frown apparent on her face. Just by looking at her face, Eva could tell the woman knew something, and when Scott stared at her expression long enough, he realized the exact same thing.

"Mom?" Kira asked as she stepped towards her, just as Mr. Yukimura walked in, "I've got dinner!" He announced, before stopping at the doorstep, "I didn't know we were going to have anyone for dinner."

"We aren't." Noshiko muttered, turning a hard gaze towards Scott and Eva, and Eva in turned narrowed her eyes as she stepped forward, "With all due respect, Mrs. Yukimura, if you know something about what's going on, you need to tell us." Eva said, her voice holding a tone of sharpness. Scott tried to placate the air as he added, stuttering a bit at first, "She's right, a-and, with all due respect of course, but people are dying, and we need to stop it."

"Noshiko?" Mr. Yukimura started as he set the food down on the coffee table, and the woman visibly sighed, "They want to know about Oak Creek."

"Oak Creek." He breathed out before he turned to Scott & Eva, "Come with me." He whispered, taking his wife's hand as they both led the way. Kira frowned, her eyes flickered between her parents and her friends, before she followed them hesitantly, and eventually so did Eva & Scott.

"There was an internment camp, in Oak Creek." The man started as he walked into his office, and Scott frowned, "Weren't those during World War II? Shouldn't that just…pop up on a google search?"

"All the records of it were erased." Mr. Yukimura completed, and Noshiko sighed, a sadness to her voice, "They covered it up."

"When I was a grad student, my passion project, actually—" Mr. Yukimura started digging through his drawers, "It was more like an obsession, was digging up the truth about Oak Creek. It's how I met your mother, Kira."

He placed a bunched of photos on the desk, and Eva reached out for one of the photos, staring down at a forties version of her best friend. "Is that like, your grandmother?" Eva asked as she held out the photo to Noshiko.

"No," She shook her head, "That's me."

"If that's you, then you've got to be like, ninety." Scott breathed out, just as Kira's eyes widened and turned her mother. "Closer to nine hundred."

"Yeah, okay, why not." Kira whispered, her voice shaking, as she turned to her father, "How old are you dad?"

"I'm forty-three, but I'm told I look mid-thirties." The man smiled briefly at his daughter, before he turned to Noshiko and nodded slowly, "Tell them, Noshiko."

"I used to steal the supplies that were brought in –" Noshiko started, "I used to take what was ours because the Americans kept half of the share for themselves. I got toys for the children, food for the elderly, and even aspirins…for a friend of mine, a friend I never understood was an ally, Satomi. She used to get these migraines once a month, and I never understood why, I only wanted to help her. But she was the one who disapproved what I was doing, always kept herself busy with a Japanese board game."

"How could you so easily steal from military?" Scott asked, and Eva narrowed her eyes, "Someone on the inside helped her." Noshiko turned to her and nodded slowly, her expression solemn, "Rhys. Coporal Rhys. He was responsible for the internment we were in. He was also….someone I loved." Noshiko met Kira's gaze before she turned to look at Eva, "I used to sneak out every night to meet him." She smiled briefly, "It was hard getting around without getting caught. But we did it anyways – it was what made our relationship beautiful."

"Mom," Kira started, shaking her head, "We don't want to hear your Casablanca story. Tell us what we need to know." Kira protested, and Eva glanced sideways at her friend, before she turned to Noshiko and nodded slowly. She eyed Scott momentarily, before she nodded, and sighed, "I used to teach him French, Rhys, because he was going to be relocated to Africa in a few weeks. We used to meet in bunkers where they parked military vehicles."

"We heard two Corporals, Marick and Hayes, talking to the camp doctor. They were talking quickly, whispering. We never figured out what they were saying at the time." She frowned as she went on, "The elderly and the children started getting sick – pneumonia." Noshiko's voice shook momentarily, and Eva could tell she was about to bring up parts of the story she preferred remain buried, "And I knew I saw boxes of the medication Rhys was talking about, but he kept telling me he only received one."

"We already knew what was happening by then, Doctor Listen used Marick and Hayes to sell medicine in the black market, leaving us, our children, our people, die to pneumonia." Noshiko closed her eyes, "I did the mistake of telling the people, and…I saw the anger in their eyes…They wanted them did, the doctor, the Corporals. They all kept the doctor from leaving the camp. Rhys tried to stop them."

"I yelled at them to stop, Rhys forced the soldiers to put their guns down – but so many people were sick, so many were dying…I'd never seen anger like that, it was a living, breathing thing." Noshiko whispered as she sat down slowly, and Mr. Yukimura moved around to put his hands on her shoulders.

"That's when Hayes had gotten out of the car, and forced the people back. Rhys had managed to calm the people down, prevent one of them, one whose son had died, from throwing a Molotov bottle. But Hayes struck Satomi down." Noshiko sighed as she shook her head slowly, "I went to help her – but that's when I saw it, her eyes glowing golden, the gash on her head healing as if it were never there. I knew why she got those migraines. Why she was always at that board game. It kept her calm."

"She was bitten." Scott acknowledged, and Noshiko nodded slowly, "Bitten werewolves have a harder time of controlling their anger. One unexpected flare up and they could lose all of control."

Eva was sure not to touch any of the photos or the papers. She looked up at Noshiko and started hesitantly, "What did she do?"

"She took the Molotov and threw it at Rhys…I saw him burn…" Noshiko swallowed thickly, "They then opened fire at everyone – those who ran were the ones who survived, but I couldn't move, and the gunfire…it almost killed me. I don't know how many bullets made their way into my body, but I fought every one of them." She looked up at Kira and took a deep breath, "It left my body so weak, my heart so slow it appeared as though I was dead. They moved us…to the van that was moving the dead bodies away, and I knew I was better off than Rhys."

"His screams….could be heard throughout the hallways of Eichen House." Eva looked up at her, her gaze snapping up from the photos on the desk to Noshiko's face, "Fighting through every wound, every burn…He died in agony. The doctor, it seems, also sold the morphine."

"He died in Eichen House." Eva breathed out as she turned to Scott, "Those have to be the screams I heard." She shook her head quickly and turned to Noshiko, "What happened after that?" Eva asked quickly, more intrigued now than she has ever been.

"Marick and Hayes were the ones in charge of moving away the bodies, both American and Japanese American…" Noshiko started again, swallowing thickly as she stood up and turned away from them, "Doctor Listen too was being stationed somewhere else….They were covering it up. The doctor, Marick, Hayes, everyone else….they were going to get away with murder."

"By chance, I guess, Rhys's body was placed next to mine, and when I took his hand…when I remembered all the moments we shared…" Noshiko stopped, and Eva almost begged her to continue, but she didn't. She gave her the time she needed, out of respect, out of understanding. The tone of her voice turned from a saddened one to one that was almost mad, the furious type of mad, "I wanted all the soldiers, all the administrative Corporals to be punished for their crime…But I knew the clock was ticking - I was going to lose my chance. They were going to burn me with the others. I couldn't fight back with my body weakened and still healing. I could barely move…I was going to die." The tone of her voice turned into one Eva knew was filled with remorse, at the same time one that begged for understanding.

The woman had finally gotten a grip of herself, but she never turned to look at them, "With time slipping through my fingers, I knew I was making a terrible decision. But I could not die knowing they would get away…so I called out to our ancestors, offered my body for possession for a strong and powerful nogitsune, one that fed on chaos, strife, and pain, to take control of my body and fill it with power, and use it as a weapon."

The shock dawned upon the three teenagers, leaving them speechless, while Mr. Yukimura wore a remorseful expression on his face as well – but not shame, never shame.

"But calling out on a trickster spirit is a very dangerous thing; they can have a very dark sense of humor. Because while the nogitsune did come to possess someone," She finally turned to look at them, "It wasn't me."

"Rhys." Eva breathed out when it finally clicked inside her head, "Are you saying…are you saying the nogitsune is doing this?"

Noshiko shook her head slowly, "I would have felt its presence, so would have my Oni."

"What happened? What happened after the nogitsune came?" Kira whispered, and Scott turned to Noshiko again. The woman seemed disappointed they were satisfied with what she gave them, and took a deep breath to continue, "My body was just beginning to heal when they dumped our bodies and went back to get the gasoline, I could hear them joke, tell riddles to entertain themselves, distract themselves from the task at hand."

"Riddles?" Eva blinked, before she pressed her lips into a thin line apologetically and nodded slowly, "I saw Rhys…the nogitsune, rise, using Rhys's body. It killed Marick and Hayes, and took the van, and left."

"What did it do?" Scott asked, and Noshiko looked up at him, "It brought chaos, strife, and more pain than you could ever imagine. I had went back to the camp…and everyone was dead. No one survived the nogitsune…and I knew I had to put an end to this."

"I had a sword, one that belonged to my family, a long line of lightning Kitsunes, the one thing I took with me to the camp and kept hidden underneath my bed. I tracked the bodies left for dead to Eichen House, and I fought it inside the walls…It almost killed me." Noshiko sighed once and shook her head, "But Satomi…she helped me…she injured the nogitsune and allowed me to exorcise it once and for all with the sword. The power it took to exorcise it shattered the katana…and I saw Rhys fall again, this time forever."

"I trapped the nogitsune, and that's when I heard Rhys's last words…" Noshiko stopped then turned to Eva, "Coup de foudre."

"Bolt of lightning." Eva whispered, before she frowned, "That's why you came back to Beacon Hills when you thought it was free." Noshiko nodded slowly, "But how does that even help us figure out what is going on?"

"I can tell you this," Noshiko whispered, "It is not the nogitsune. A nogitsune needs a body to prey on and possess to rise to power, and my Oni have not sensed it. It's not my demon."

"But it's something." Eva whispered as she turned to Scott, "There has to be a reason why were supposed to know this." Eva started and chewed on the inside of her cheek. She almost started speaking again when her phone rang, and she pulled it out, looking down to see Allison's name flashing on the screen. She looked up at Scott, both of them exchanging worried frowns, before she stepped away from them and answered, "Allison?"

"Eva! You have to get Scott and come to the reserve quickly! Isaac, something's wrong with Isaac!" She heard Allison gasp, and she frowned when she heard her ragged breaths and the sound of the leaves crunching underneath her feet, "Allison, calm down, what is it?"

"I don't he's…He's chasing after something. I can't calm him down – he's transformed and I can't control him." Allison started, but she still seemed to be running.

"Can you keep him in one place?" Scott asked quickly, easily being capable of listening in on the conversation, "I can try." Allison whispered, quickly, "Where exactly are you, Allison?"

"I'm going to end you the coordinates from my GPS, okay?" And the other end went dead.

The phone buzzed in Eva's hand and she looked down at the screen, scrolling over to her messages to open the text she got from Allison. Scott quickly typed the coordinates into his GPS and he frowned, "Aren't those…" Eva started as she looked up at Scott, "Close to Malia's den." Scott finished, before he glanced sideways at Kira, "I have to go."

"We're right behind you." Kira whispered quickly, and her mother almost started protesting before Kira shook her head ones, "I'm going to go help my friends." Kira told her mother sternly as she disappeared into her room to get her katana, while she heard Scott's dirt bike roar into the night and disappear as he sped away.

And Eva had a horrible feeling about all of this – a horrible, terrible feeling. She turned to Noshiko, "I know this is asking for too much, but can you tell Deaton all what you just told use about Oak Creek? It'll really help if we had someone look into things while we tried to…figure out whatever the hell was going on." Eva told her, trying to sound as polite as she possibly could. Noshiko glanced sideways at her husband before she nodded slowly, "Thank you so much."

"Let's go." Kira appeared back with her jacket on and her sword in her hands, "I'll drive you." Mr. Yukimura muttered and they quickly hurried out of the house.
