Four:
Who's that?

"Who's she?" the Sheriff asked when Magenta entered his office with Scott and Stiles. For Stiles claimed he wanted to keep a closer eye on her. Magenta straighten up a bit before she stretched her hand out.

"Magenta R. Regina." Magenta introduced herself. Before she started to peel her banana and taking a bite out of it.

"Noah Stilinski." The Sheriff told the girl before putting his attention to the boys. "Why does she have a banana?"

"She got hungry." Scott answered before letting Stiles go into an explanation.

"So, the Walcotts were the first. At least the first we know about. Four murders. Sean, his brother, and their parents. They were killed by a professional assassin called The Mute. Weapon of choice, a military tomahawk. But then the Mute was killed by Peter Hale after he tried to blow up Derek with a Claymore mine. Next was Demarco. He delivered a keg to the party at Lydia's lake house. And he got decapitated outside his car. And then last night, 23-year-old Carrie Hudson."

"It's a dead pool." Scott told Mr. Stilinski. Magenta continued to eat her banana that she took from her house. "A hit list of supernatural creatures. This is only part of it."

Scott motioned for Magenta to hand him the paper she had in her hand. The copy that she studied and tried to pin to a supernatural creature. Magenta handed the hit list to Scott and continued to wait for her part. "The rest still has to be decoded."

"Who found this list?" Mr. Stilinski asked. His son was the one who answered the question while Magenta threw away her banana peel. Even after the recent events, she still felt hungry.

"Lydia."

"How?" The Sheriff asked. That was the questioned that Magenta was asking herself.

"She wrote it. Actually, she transcribed it. Without realizing it." The pale boy told his father while moving his arms.

"Banshee?" The Sheriff hesitated when he remembered that Magenta was the the room. But then he remembered that they mentioned the word Supernatural.

"Banshee." Magenta replied, beating Stiles to it.

"Beautiful." The Sheriff commented before looking back at the list. "All right, what are these numbers next to the names?"

"We're getting to that." Stiles told his dad. Magenta moved closer to the paper, still shocked about the number part. "First, you need to know that the code was broken with a cipher key."

"Wait." Sheriff Stilinski interrupted Stiles. "You mean like a . . . Like a key word?"

"It's actually a name." Stiles told his dad.

"Allison." Scott answered. Magenta felt a wound in Scott's soul when he mentioned the name. Magenta could tell there was a story behind the beautiful name. There was a moment of silence for the name that seemed like a lost soul. Magenta repeated the name over in her head until she saw an image. It was of a brunette hair girl.

"Her name broke a third of the list." Stiles finally broke the silence.

"And now we think there's two other cipher keys." Scott told the Sheriff while he moved a bit.

"Which will give us the rest of the names." The Sheriff added on. Magenta wanted to know the rest of the names, she wanted to know if her uncle and cousin were on it. "Okay. So how do we get the cipher keys?"

"Same way we got the code." Stiles answered.

"Lydia." Scott started off. "She's been out at the lake house all weekend trying to find the other two key words."

"You didn't know about Demarco or Carrie. Hmm?" Mr. Stilinski asked. Magenta knew that there was a supernatural presents and that it disappeared but she assumed it was another friend of Scott. "What about these other two names on the list? Uh, Kayleen Bettcher and Elias Town. They werewolves too?"

"I don't know." Scott answered. "But Deaton said the Nemeton would draw supernatural creatures here."

The Nemeton. That was what pulled Magenta and her uncle towards Beacon Hill, it's also what drew in Augustus Regina to Beacon Hills. Magenta only hoped her cousin stayed for a week and was off the next. Scott then motioned Magenta to show her power.

"I spend the weekend at home trying to pin point which names fit the supernatural creatures on my arm." Magenta explained, she extended her arm and showed her markings. "But I weren't successful and I wasn't able to use the power I used on Scott since I wasn't near that person to witness it."

"You're part of the supernatural?" The Sheriff asked. Magenta nodded before flashing her eyes her magenta colour before she turned back to normal.

"Here being Beacon Hills? Or Beacon County. The population of Beacon Hills is just under 30,000." The Sheriff said.

"And dropping." Stiles commented. Mr. Stilinski looked at his son before continuing.

"But if we're talking Beacon County, then you're looking at close to 500,000. Look, how many werewolves, banshees, Kitsunes, and whatever the hell else is out there are we talking about?" Everyone glanced at Magenta who was staring at space.

"I'm not counting the markings. I still don't know the distance people have to be around me to notice, for all I know, it could be all of California." Magenta commented before motioning for the Sheriff to continue.

"And what happens if the next cipher key uncovers not 12 names but 100?" Mr. Stilinski asked. Backing up what Magenta said.

"We don't think there would be that many. There's a limit." Stiles told his dad.

"Because of the numbers." Scott told the Sheriff. "We think once we decide the names, the numbers will add up to 117."

"117 what?" the Sheriff asked.

"Million." Scott answered. This caused to shift uncomfortably since she was the most on the list. Stiles then started to add K's and M's on the list. 40 Million was the price on Magenta's head.

"One hundred and seventeen million dollars, Dad. Stolen from the Hale vault." Stiles told his father. "And is being used by someone to finance all these murders."

"Someone who wants every supernatural in Beacon Hills dead." Scott answered. Which caused Stiles to realize that Magenta isn't behind the murders or the dead pool since she is on the list.

"So the coded list goes out. And somehow these professional assassin's get that list." Stilinski started out.

"And a cipher key." Stiles added.

"And then they go after the names on the list. They being killers with no mouths, tomahawk, thermo-cut wires that can take your head off." Mr. Stilinski finished off.

"Let me see. Carrie was also stabbed." Stiles added. Magenta still didn't understand why she was there in the first place. "What's this mark?"

Stiles asked, tapping the markings of the body from the picture taken. Magenta frowned at the sight, the circular markings around a deep cut.

"We're not sure yet. We're waiting on the M.E.'s report." Mr Stilinski told his son.

"My uncle told me that he thinks it was made from the weapon. The person who stabbed her could've went really deep and made the markings." Magenta commented. The Sheriff looked up at Magenta before looking at the photos again.

"Right. There's one other thing I don't get. How did this new assassin know that Demarco was going to be at the lake house?" Mr. Stilinski asked. Magenta wanted to know the same thing.

"Everyone knows he delivers keg to teenagers for a little extra cash." Scott shared the little piece of information.

"Ah." the Sheriff said while nodding his head. "So whoever ordered that keg killed Demarco."

"Yeah, it was someone at the party." Stiles commented.

"A student." Scott added on.

"Students." Magenta corrected. "Someone couldn't have done this alone but which ones?"

"Maggy!" Augustus yelled. Magenta looked up from her breakfast to see her cousin coming down the stairs.

"Yes, Gus?" Magenta asked. Looking at her Asian looking cousin.

"When does school start?" he asked. Magenta's eyes widen.

"Are you going to school with me?" Magenta asked, panicking.

"Yes. I am now a transfer student. I don't know why but I feel like I have to go to this school." Augustus told his cousin.

"I thought you were going back to that school in France?" Magenta asked. Augustus frowned at Magenta.

"I thought my favorite and only cousin would've liked me at her school."

"If someone's coming to take my head off, then, yeah, I'd like to know." Malia said, hovering behind Lydia who was trying to draw. Magenta frowned at the mention of the dead pool when she entered the art room with Augustus.

"What is she talking about?" Augustus asked his cousin. Magenta glanced around nervously before she answered.

"I'll tell you at home." Magenta answered before join the two girls.

"Can you please just sit down?" Lydia asked. That's when Magenta announced her presence. "You're making me nervous."

"I got us some help." Magenta announced when Malia said sorry.

"Who's that?" Malia asked. Looking at Augustus while Lydia tried to focus.

"My cousin, Augustus Regina."
