" We have to get this to Deaton. He'll know more hopefully." I say as Stiles gets the record from Melissa.
" We have to haul ass." Stiles replied as Lydia and Melissa nodded.
" I suggest you hurry." Melissa said as Lydia nodded.
" Good luck." Lydia tells us before I hug her and then head on out. Stiles and I get our asses in the Jeep and drive to the animal clinic. We get inside and Deaton is inside thank god.
" Vanishing twin syndrome...?" Deaton asked as Stiles perked up.
" This is part of your expertise, right?" Stiles asked as I perked up.
" Please tell us it does." I say as Deaton shakes his head.
" Not particularly, no." He replied as I frowned. A loud sound of the door opening made us all look back to see Liam and Scott holding up the Dread Doctor.
" He's still alive!" Scott told us. We got the doctor on the table.
" Can you keep him alive?" Scott asked as Deaton looked stuck.
" I'm not sure he technically is alive." Deaton says as Liam scoffs.
" Screw keeping him alive! How do we get him to talk?" Liam said as I saw the determination to get Mason back.
" Personally, I don't think we utilize torture nearly enough..." Stiles said as Deaton gave him a look.
" Come..." A voice called out.
" Did you hear that?" Liam asked as I nodded.
" Come to me... To me..." The voice called again. All of a sudden the dread doctor came up. A loud sound rang out as I covered my ears. The doctor walked out of the room after letting an electromagnetic pulse go. Liam falls back before walking out as tables and other metal objects block the way out.
" Stop. It's electrified." Deaton called out as I got my balance. I could hear the two talking outside before nothing was left.
" Maybe there's something in here? Something about how he was a genetic chimera. Mason had a vanishing twin..." Scott said as he flipped through the file.
" Now we've got a vanishing Mason." Stiles said as Liam looked confused
" What does that have to do with him turning into a 250-year-old French guy? How does that even happen?" Liam asked as Deaton had a glint in his eyes.
" Hold on... Scott might have something. Mason's twin wasn't entirely gone- that's what made him a genetic chimera. The DNA was still there. Metaphorically speaking, the DNA of Mason could still be inside Sebastien as well." Deaton explained as Stiles looked confused.
" How? How the hell does that work?" I asked as Deaton pulled his thought out.
" Life is energy. Energy doesn't just disappear. The Dread Doctors may have found a way to break the rules of the supernatural world, but there are some rules that simply won't break." Deaton explained as Liam's eyes lit up.
" So, Mason just can't be gone?" Liam asked as Deaton shook his head.
" Somewhere in Sebastien, he still has to exist in some form. A spark of energy, a flicker of memory..." Deaton says as Stiles shakes his head.
" Hang on... Liam, you said Mason said something right before he turned." Stiles asked the teenager.
" He said... "That's not my name."" Liam says as he recollected the memory.
" He finally remembered his name." Scott explained as Stiles perked up.
" Damnatio memoriae." Stiles says as I shake my head.
" All kinds of fucked up." I groaned.
" That's what they wanted. They wanted Sebastien to remember his name." Scott said as Deaton smiles.
" Scott, you know the myth of what happens when you call a werewolf by its given name?" Deaton says as I smiled
" It turns back to humans..." Scott says as I smile.
" What does that mean? Someone can just walk up to the Beast, yell Mason's name, and turn him back?" Liam asked as Scott perked up.
" Not someone..." Scott said as I smirked.
" Lydia." I replied with a smirk. Stiles was sending messages to his dad to get him notified about everything. It was quiet for a bit before we got a reply that Lydia was in the hospital. That Sebastian clawed her throat.
" Fucking Christ." I growled as the tables came down. Stiles and I rushed to the hospital as fast as we could.
" Oh man." I say as I see Lydia with a bandage around her neck. We walked to her hospital bed and I take her hand.
" Hey, you all right?" Stiles asked her as she nodded.
" Did... Did you find something? A solution?" Lydia asked in a weakened voice.
" Yeah... It was you. It was you, Lydia." I say as she looked devastated.
" It's ok. I know you got this." I say as I hold her hand. Scott came in a little later and checked on all of us.
" I'll get my mom." He says before heading out of the room. Scott soon came back with Liam and Melissa. I see Melissa with a large needle.
" Lydia, this is gonna have to be just between us, since I can get fired for it." She said as Lydia nodded.
" It's a cortisone shot. It's gonna bring the inflammation down." Scott explained as Lydia held out her arm. I see Melissa shake her head.
" Not there." Melissa says before gently peeling the gauze away. Lydia groans in pain at this.
" Uh, yeah, okay, I'm gonna need to leave-" Stiles says as I shake my head.
" We need to support her in this." I say as he nods.
" Okay, fine. I'm not leaving... But I still might faint." Stiles says as I nod.
" That's totally fine." I replied with a chuckle. Melissa readies the syringe.
" Okay, here we go." Melissa says as I see Lydia brace herself, but I see Liam's eyes roll before passing out.
" Okay, Lydia, this is gonna hurt like a bitch..." Melissa says before pushing the needle into Lydia's neck. She gasps in pain as the injection goes in. I sap her pain to ease it. Lydia after letting her throat swell down gets dressed and we all pile into the elevator. After exiting, Stiles and I are about to head to help Malia.
" Okay, I'll get Malia. Text me when you find Parrish." Stiles says as Scott stops us.
" Hold on-" Scott calls out before giving Stiles a bag with a jar. I see inside are claws.
" What is this?" Stiles asked as Scott had a plain look on his face.
" Something I've been working on for a while. Just make sure Malia gets it." Scott tells us as I perked up.
" Plan B?" I asked as he shook his head.
" It was Plan A..." He replied as I saw Stiles give him a wary look.
" Plan A never works." Stiles replied as Scott smirks.
" This one will." Scott tells us before nodding. Stiles and I race to the Jeep before rushing to Scott's house.
" Hopefully this works." I say as we get out of the Jeep. I smell an unfamiliar scent hit my nose. Stiles goes to the door as I hear fighting. He opens it and we see Malia and the Desert Wolf inside. She has her gun trained on Stiles.
" Oh, damn-" He groans before being dragged inside. I see the mountain ash was disrupted and head inside. I used the carpet to get it quickly back in line. I shifted as I roared out. I see Stiles behind the couch. Malia and the Desert Wolf are still fighting. Malia was kicked across the room. Stiles tries to jump over the couch and punch the Desert Wolf, but gets thrown into the glass.
" Don't fucking touch him." I growled out. I tackle her to the ground and toss her into another room. I shift my gaze and see Stiles was hurt.
" Fuck, are you ok?" I asked as I helped him sit up. I see the large shard of glass in his shoulder.
" Stiles...? Raven?" Malia called out to see if we were ok. The Desert Wolf was now firing multiple shots at Malia.
" It's not the full moon, Malia... but you know what? It's close enough." The Desert Wolf says as Malia begs her to stop. I see Stiles hand me the jar. I nod and take it.
" Malia!" I called out when I was in her line of sight. I toss her the jar. I see the Desert Wolf stab Malia in the stomach with her claws.
" I want my power back!" She growls as Malia gets the jar broken and talons attached to her claws. Malia then stabs the Desert Wolf.
" I want my family back." Malia growls before I see the power from the Desert Wolf flood into Malia. She staggers back before Braeden hits her with the butt of her shotgun. The Desert Wolf falls and is unconscious. I see Stiles on the ground.
" Can someone please come and take this gigantic shard of glass out of my chest? Please?" Stiles begged as I came over and saw it wasn't deep. I took it out and grabbed a cloth.
" Anyone know how to stitch?" Stiles asked as I smiled.
" Hospital visit bud." I say with a chuckle. Braeden carts off the Desert Wolf while Stiles gets stitches in his chest. I got a text that everything was now ok from Scott's end. In the morning before school, Stiles and I went to see his dad.
" You saved their lives. Mason, Malia, half the population of Beacon Hills... That's got to feel pretty good." Noah says as Stiles and I sit down.
" It did... for a while." Stiles says calmly.
" But it's something you want to feel again." Noah says with a smile as Stiles looks up.
" Yeah... Yeah, I think so." Stiles replied before giving Stiles a smile.
" Welcome to your future career in law enforcement." Noah says before sending us off.
" I think it would be good for you to do it." I say with a grin as we pile into the jeep.
" I think so too." Stiles replied with a grin before starting the Jeep and driving us to school. After class two, Stiles Lydia and I were leaving class.
" Kira's with the Skinwalkers, but she'll be back. She still has to graduate." Lydia says as Stiles shrugged.
" That's the thing, though, I don't know... When we started this school year, I was so stressed about everyone ending up in the same place after we graduated. But, I don't think it matters. We always seem to find each other anyway. Even Allison." Stiles says as we stopped in our tracks.
" He didn't tell you?" Stiles asked as Lydia shakes her head. We headed to the library.
" It was in the tunnels, when Sebastien had his hands around Scott's throat. The guy probably didn't even know what he was doing." Stiles explained as I just smiled.
" His claws got into Scott's neck. He was going to kill him, but then he stopped, and he said a name." Stiles continued as Lydia walked with us.
" Marie-Jeanne." He says as Lydia gasped.
" He saw Scott's memories." She replied as I smiled.
" He saw Allison." I say as she smiled.
" They must have looked like each other. I mean, maybe exactly like each other." Lydia says as I nodded.
" It gave Scott a chance to break free." Stiles tells her as we get into the library.
" She saved him. Allison saved his life." Lydia replied before we head into the library and find a table. Scott joins us as we leave an empty chair for Allison in spirit. The day went on in peace as Stiles reached over and took my hand. I couldn't help but smile.
