Selene POV: Right after school Stiles and Selene went with Lydia to the hospital.
"Okay what are we doing here if you've already had your suppressed memory?" Stiles asked confused.
"It wasn't the right memory. I remembered my grandmother in Eichen House. There was nothing to do with surgery nothing to do with the Dread Doctors. So if I've read the book why don't I have the full memory of my experience with them?" Lydia asked as they walked toward the hospital.
"I'm not supposed to know that am I?" Stiles asked also confused.
"No something…happened during surgery. But now I think that maybe it has more to do with me being a banshee. It's not my memory Stiles it's someone else's" Lydia said working it all out.
"Then we need to get you inside and try to figure out who's memory it was cause I'm betting that person it another Chimera" Selene said.
"Can you turn the lights on?" Lydia asked once inside the operating room.
Stiles flipped the switch but nothing happened.
"Uh not going on" he said.
"Ask someone" Lydia demanded.
"Hey I thought this was more of an auditory thing" Stiles said.
"I still want to see what I'm hearing" Lydia responded.
"Makes sense" Stiles went out with Selene to find Scott's mom to get the power on.
"What about you have you had your memory?" Stiles asked as they walked.
"No but I think I know where to trigger it" Selene said feeling a knot in her stomach.
"Great where?"
"You're bedroom" Selene said softly.
Then they caught up with Melissa and explained what was going on.
"We've been having issues for the last hour maintenance is coming to check it out. For now that floor is down to back up lighting. I thought this was more of a hearing thing" Melissa said.
"Auditory" Stiles corrected.
"Yeah" Melissa said.
"It's also a Lydia thing" Stiles added.
Stiles POV: Stiles and Selene got into the elevator when the doors closed his memory surfaced. There was a woman behind him and when the doors opened she walked out past him…his mom. He followed her.
"Mom what are you doing?" Stiles asked following her to the roof to see her on the ledge.
"Claudia what are you doing up there?" his dad asked walking past him to his mom.
"I couldn't stand to be in that room anymore. Not with him looking at me like that."
"Claudia…"
"He's trying to hurt me. I don't care if you don't believe me but he is. He's trying to kill me."
Stiles watched his mom and dad.
"No that's not true. Come on down. Come here. You have to remind yourself it's the disease. Remember what the Dementia does? It gives you delusions it makes you think that people are out to get you…"
"You don't see the way he looks at me."
"Claudia he's ten years old." Stiles' eyes got a little teary.
"He's trying to kill me. Stop it stop looking at me like that stop it. Stop looking at me!" his mom ran at him and attacked him.
"Mom… what are you do… mom" Stiles yelled. Then the image of his mom turned into a Chimera who really was attacking him.
Selene POV: When Stiles went into a trance like mode Selene just followed him. Once on the roof she saw a Chimera chewing through the electrical wires the Chimera had ripped open the metal structure around the wires to get to them.
Seeing the Chimera turn to look at her and Stiles Selene attacked. Having split her focus between keeping it away from Stiles and not killing but stunning it AND not let it get too many hits on her it got the best hit.
It dipped down and kicked out and up sending Selene back into the power box cable the thing was chewing on. A pipe slammed through Selene's chest on impact.
"Damn it" Selene groaned as small amounts of electricity were also pulsing through her body.
She tried to pull herself off the poll since it took more than that to kill her when a huge power surge that took out the transformer went through her body.
"Aw damn..." Selene felt her heart stop and blood run out of her mouth.
Before she died she saw the Chimera pounce on Stiles who was just coming out of his memory.
Stiles POV: The Chimera threw Stiles around beating on him until Theo showed up and pulled it off. While Theo and the Chimera fought Stiles pulled Selene's body off the pipe quickly and carefully and laid her on the ground holding her hand.
He knew she'd heal but seeing her like this nearly killed him. Stiles turned back and watched Theo claw out the Chimera's throat and watched as he died.
"Stiles… you can't say anything. Please don't say anything" Theo asked indicating the dead Chimera.
"Why not?" Stiles asked putting himself between Theo and Selene who was vulnerable and healing.
"Because I never said anything about Donovan" Theo replied.
Stiles slammed him against the gate surrounding the transformer.
"You don't know anything" Stiles growled.
"I was there I was at the library. I was close I heard the scaffolding come down" Theo said turning and pushing Stiles into the gate.
"You saw him?"
"Just the body. I watched you come out I was gonna say something but then I saw the cop car. And the body was gone. Look I don't know who took him I only saw what you saw and I didn't say anything because you didn't."
The sound of sirens light up the night coming closer.
"That's not an ambulance is it? We should get out of here."
Stiles walked over to Selene's body and gently wiped the blood from her mouth.
"We can't just leave him" Stiles said indicating the Chimera.
"Fine all right let's take him. Someone's stealing the bodies anyway right? Here's our chance to find out who. Stiles come on. We gotta do something."
"You killed him" Stiles said kneeling next to Selene.
"In self-defense he was going to kill you and me. If we stay we're either going to have to tell the truth or we're going to need a pretty convincing story. It's your choice. I'm not going to ask you to lie to your dad."
"Don't worry I've had plenty of practice."
Theo picked up the dead Chimera and looked at Selene.
"I'm sorry. Think whoever's taking the bodies will take hers too?"
"She's not dead."
"Stiles she's gone" Theo said softly and soothingly.
"She's immortal dumbass" with that said Stiles picked up Selene who groaned in pain and walked toward the exit.
"It's okay baby I'm here just hang on I'm gonna get you home and I'll take care of you just hold on" Stiles whispered softly to her.
