Stiles POV: Theo went back into Lydia's cell and pulled her out.
"Back off" he told Parrish as he put his claws to Lydia's throat. Parrish kept coming towards them.
"I said back off" Theo repeated slightly digging his claws in making Lydia bleed.
"Take him" Theo said to the other Chimeras when Parrish didn't stop.
"The guy's on fire" Corey said.
"You'll heal. Do it" Theo told them.
Tracy ran forward and stuck her claws into Parrish's stomach and he just looked at her before elbowing her in the face. Josh broke a section of pipe off and grabbed the wires there then he touched Parrish's shoulder. Again nothing happened.
"Theo this isn't working!" Josh yelled just before Parrish shoved him into a wall.
Valack came out of Lydia's cell and used the trepanation device to drill into Theo's leg causing him to let Lydia go. Valack hit Theo in the face with the drill before grabbing Lydia.
"Sorry Theo but I'm not done with her yet."
Parrish continued to fight with Josh as Valack tried to leave with Lydia. That's when Stiles and Selene stood up in his way. Corey tried to attack Parrish next but he failed and Parrish lit him on fire before throwing him down the hall.
"Look out!" Selene shoved Stiles out of the way as Corey's flaming body landed on her instead of him.
Valack took Lydia away locking the door behind him causing Stiles run into the door.
"Hey! Lydia! Lydia! Lydia!" Stiles yelled as he beat on the door.
Surprisingly he caused some very minor dents he ignored for now but the door stayed closed. Selene walked up and with one arm shoved the door open and pushing Theo out of the way with the other as he tried to run through the now open door.
"You're not going to find her without me" Theo said.
"Watch us" Selene said running after Stiles.
"Stiles I want her out of here too" Theo said when he caught up to them.
"I've got her scent."
"Yeah so do I we really don't need you" Selene said getting in his way.
Stiles whispered low in her ear.
"You know he'd make a really good decoy. Let him take all the hits." Selene grinned.
Then they finally heard the steam of the showers and walked in. Inside patients were cowering in fear then Theo pushing one out of the way and saw a grate that led down into the tunnels.
"They could be anywhere by now" Stiles said.
All three of them went down into the tunnels with Theo leading just in case Valack set up any traps. Then Theo stopped and pressed his ear to pipe.
"I thought you had her scent" Stiles said.
"I lost it" Theo replied.
Stiles looked over at Selene who took a deep breath wrinkled her nose then shook her head.
"Find it again" Stiles demanded Theo.
"What do you smell down here Stiles?" Theo asked.
"Chemicals and fecal matter. Although I'm pretty sure the fecal matter is you" Stiles told him.
"I smell it too it's all I can smell. Which is why I'm trying something else. So can you shut up and let me concentrate?"
"I'm gonna find her" Stiles said walking ahead.
"You know you won't Stiles even your she-wolf girlfriend lost the scent am I right? You're going to have to trust me" Theo said earning him a snarl from Selene.
"Trust you? The guy who murdered his own sister when he was nine?"
"Yeah I was nine years old. I also believed a guy in a red suit came down the chimney to deliver presents. So when three people in leather masks showed up and said that my sister wanted me to have her heart I believed them too."
"So together you gutted and killed her. That's a beautiful story."
"I watched her fall into the water and freeze to death in minutes. Do you think I had any idea what was going on?"
"I think you pushed her and I think you liked it."
"I bet you watched her dying begging for help and you just smiled" Selene said.
Then Lydia's scream echoed in the tunnels.
"What direction was that?" Stiles looked at Theo.
"Where is it coming from" Stiles then turned to look at Selene.
"Everywhere" Thro and Selene said.
Selene POV: Stiles and Selene took off running away from Theo. Through the tunnels twists and turns and suddenly they were right back to Theo.
"Nothing" Theo told them.
"Great you're just as useless as I am."
"I'm trying to save her life."
"Oh please" Selene said.
"Would you just drop the altruistic crap?" Stiles said.
"You want Lydia because she gets you to Parrish you want Parrish cause he gets you to the Beast."
"So what? I want it dead too."
"After you take its power right? We know why you got the talons and we know you're looking for Deucalion."
"I found Deucalion. You're right I'm going to help Parrish stop the Beast. I'm going to take its power and then I'm going to break its neck. So maybe I'm not the good guy in your eyes but I might end up being the guy that saves all your asses."
"You're not getting his powers I'll take your head off first screw what anyone else thinks" Selene said flicking her claws out.
"Him?" Stiles asked her.
Selene looked away.
"Break it" Selene said turning back looking at the pipes.
"What?" Theo asked.
"The sound travels through the pipe" Selene explained since they were still letting Theo think her power were still mostly gone.
"You'll hear better dumb-ass just listen to her break it" Stiles said.
So Theo broke the pipe and put his ear to it. They started running down the tunnels again following Theo who was following Lydia's voice. Finally they came to a door.
"Lydia! Lydia! What the hell are you doing get the door" Stiles yelled as Selene and Theo rammed into it.
"We're trying Stiles" Selene replied actually worried since even she couldn't get inside.
Then Lydia screamed and everyone covered their ears and then there was silence. Theo broke the knob for the door easily and Stiles rushed in.
"You came back" Lydia told Stiles as he unhooked the wires on her.
"We're getting you out of here okay?"
"You can't it's too dangerous."
"Lydia please shut up and let us save your life."
Stiles lifted her out of the chair.
"Here give her to me I can carry her" Selene said seeing Stiles stumble.
Selene carefully picked up Lydia and followed Stiles leaving Theo behind.
"Okay so the plan didn't work out to well" Stiles said running through the tunnels.
"You think?" Selene replied with a little chuckle as she carried Lydia behind Stiles.
"You had a plan?" Lydia asked softly.
"Yeah it was good on paper not so much in reality" Stiles told her.
"I can't hold it" Lydia said pushing out of Selene's arms.
"Lydia…" Stiles stopped.
Stiles POV: "Run!" Lydia yelled holding her head.
Just before she screamed Hellhound Parrish tossed Stiles and Selene out of the way and grabbed Lydia just as she screamed. It was like a small bomb had gone off clouds of dust and debris fell around them. Scott and Liam were also there now having followed Parrish. Parrish no longer a Hellhound came out of the dust holding Lydia.
"Where to?" he asked.
"This way come on" Scott said leading them.
"What about Mason?" Scott asked about the lockdown Mason was supposed to deactivate.
"He's on it trust me" Liam said.
"What's… what's happening" Lydia asked as they ran.
"Plan B" Parrish told her.
"Liam slow down" Scott yelled as Liam raced ahead toward the gate.
"Liam wait!" Stiles yelled.
Liam grabbed the gate and yanked it open.
"I told you" Liam said to the others before running through the gate.
Stiles Selene and Scott just looked at each other shrugged and nodded then kept running. Once outside Stiles' Jeep pulled up.
"Can you stand?" Parrish asked Lydia.
She nodded and he set her down.
"Is she okay?" Malia asked getting out of the Jeep.
"No we need to go give me the keys. We gotta get her to the clinic" Scott said.
Then Parrish fell forward onto the Jeep. Tracy had slashed him with her claws and grabbed Lydia.
"Sorry but she's coming with me" Tracy said.
"Okay Tracy just wait you don't know what's about to happen" Scott said.
"I'm taking her that's what's happening. And none of you are going to do a thing…" Tracy broke off as she was electrocuted by Mrs. Martin.
"Could somebody please get my daughter out of this hellhole?" she asked.
Scott got in and started the Jeep and Stiles and Selene were in the back with Lydia.
"Scott" Stiles winced as Scott ground through the gears.
"Yeah I'm trying I'm trying" Scott said.
"We're almost there Lydia just hold on" Stiles said.
Then Lydia let out a small scream it cracked the windshield a bit.
"Hey Lydia Lydia hey hey hey look you're gonna get through this okay? Lydia look at me you're gonna make it" Stiles said.
"But you're not" Lydia said.
Stiles touched his ear and there was blood on his fingertips. When he looked at Selene both her ears were also bleeding.
"Go faster" Selene told Scott who shoved the gas pedal to the floor.
Deaton met them once they were inside the clinic.
"Get her on the table" Deaton instructed.
Stiles and Scott got her on the table and she arched up off it.
"Hold her" Deaton said.
Lydia let out another small scream and the room shook.
"Doc think you gotta do something" Stiles said.
"I will but right now I need you to keep her still" Deaton said filling a syringe.
"Steady" he said as he came over to Lydia.
"What the hell is that?" Stiles asked.
"Mistletoe" Deaton said.
"Mistletoe? She's got a freaking hole in her head."
"Stiles help" Scott told him as he and Selene tried to hold Lydia down.
"Steady" Deaton said again as he injected mistletoe into the hole in Lydia's head.
Then Lydia jerked up and screamed. Stiles threw himself on Lydia and Selene threw herself on Stiles as the windows shattered. Scott got behind the table to avoid it.
"Lydia? Lydia, Lydia come on. No no no come on Lydia wake up come on. Wake up can you hear me? Lydia? Lydia open your eyes come on come on listen to me Lydia. Hey open your eyes okay Lydia you have to open your eyes" Stiles tried.
When nothing happened everyone felt defeated. Selene suddenly let out a roar and Lydia sucked in a breath and opened her eyes.
"You okay? You're okay. Want to try to sit up?" Stiles asked.
She nodded and he helped her sit up as he smiled at Selene happily.
"Mom?" Lydia said.
They all turned and Mrs. Martin walked in.
"Oh honey" she hugged her daughter tight.
"They saved my life mom. Stiles saved me" Lydia said.
Everyone smiled all relived she was alive.
"I'm not paying for the windows" Stiles said after a moment.
Stiles saw Selene slowly back out of the room and he followed her.
"Hey you okay?" he asked when they were alone.
"Yeah fine" she smiled.
Then a tinkling noise started as glass fell to the floor behind her giving away her lie.
"Turn around" Stiles ordered softly.
Slowly Selene turned around and Stiles saw tons of glass shards embedded in her back. Some were falling out due to her healing. Without a word he gently pulled out the shards that were in deep and laid them on the counter.
"Better me than you" Selene said softly.
"Doesn't mean I like it" Stiles replied.
When all the pieces were out Selene turned to face him.
"I think we should get the others back to our place soon. It's time they all heard the story I have to tell… about the Beast."
