"I was just thinking, since we can't use our phones, we can't check in on Stiles and Theo." Lydia said to my brother and I.

Due to the cell phone jammers, we weren't able to use our phones for anything remotely helpful. It made me slightly uneasy knowing that Stiles was with Theo and we had no way to contact them. I really wish that Stiles was here with me if I'm being totally honest. 

Scott sighed, "I didn't even think about that." 

"I didn't either," Lydia agreed. 

I let out a groan of annoyance, "I did but I didn't want to sound like I was bad talking the plan so I didn't say anything."

"So, we're standing here waiting for guys in masks and breathing tubes to show up. But who or what, are Stiles and Theo waiting for?" Lydia asked. 

I shrugged, "Hopefully something a hell of a lot more manageable to fight off." 

"Kasey," 

I blinked as I turned around, I hadn't recognized the voice but I definetly had heard someone say my name. The locker room was empty apart from Scott, Lydia, Liam, Hayden, and myself...  and that voice hadn't belonged to any of them. So where the hell had it come from? 

Lydia glanced at me inquisitively, "What's wrong?" 

"Nothing, I thought I heard something." I brushed it off like it was no big deal. 

Although, it very well could be a big deal. Movement caught my attention and I noticed Liam making his way towards the black duffle bag where chains were being hidden. Scott had brought them to try and restrain a Dread Doctor with. I wasn't sure if they would be able to hold it down or whatnot, but Scott had brought them anyway. 

Liam unzipped the bag and pulled the chain out. Scott jumped when he saw him and Liam glanced at my brother with wide eyes, "What were you gonna do with these?" 

"Brought them just in case." Scott responded quickly. 

Liam's head moved from side to side in confusion, "In case of what?" 

"In case we had the chance to catch one of them," Lydia spoke. 

I could feel the switch as soon as it happened. Liam's over protectiveness of Hayden kicked on and Scott's need for damage control stepped up to bat. Lydia was watching Liam wearily, unsure of how he was going to take this news. I had a feeling that he wouldn't be happy with the idea, considering it looked very much like we were using Hayden as bait. 

Nobody likes being the bait.

"If we can't make the school a fortress, then maybe we can make it a trap." Scott supplied as he took a step closer to Liam.

Liam was gripping the chains tightly in his hands. I sighed and ran my hands through my hair anxiously. If the two of them ended up fighting about this, we didn't have anyone to pull them off of one another and we all know how Liam gets when he has the slightest bit of anger built up inside of him. 

"They're coming for her, does that mean she's the bait?" he snapped angrily. 

Hayden happened to wake up from her nap and she was glancing at Scott in confusion. I knew this was going to happen. I knew that Liam was going to assume that we were using Hayden as bait. Which we technically weren't, we were honestly trying to keep her safe but we knew that they would end up coming for her regardless so Scott wanted to try and catch them. 

I decided to break my silence, "Liam, we honestly brought her here to protect her."

"And now she's bait," he snapped at me. 

Hayden glanced at me, "Am I?"

"No," Scott spoke up, "no one's bait. But we can't be body guards to everyone every night." 

"Then why aren't we talking to Stiles' dad? Why aren't we doing something better than hiding in a school?" he fired at my brother angrily. 

I wanted to speak up to defend Scott, but Liam did have a point. This plan wasn't exactly the best option we had, but Scott felt that it was, so therefore we did it. Liam, much like myself, is now starting to question Scott's ability to lead and that's not good. I think my brother is a great leader most of the time, but lately he's been a little off. He's not willing to get his hands a little dirty and he needs to sometimes in order for the best plan to take action.

"Because we still don't know anything about them or what they want, okay? They're winning and we don't even know what the game is." Scott began to further explain his thought process to his temperamental beta. 

Liam took a step forward and flailed his arms around, "What if they come in here and those things don't work? What if you have an asthma attack again? What are we gonna do?"

"I don't know," my brother answered honestly. 

Liam's eyes widened, "This plan sucks."

"You got a better one? Kids are dying and she's next! So, somebody has to do something somebody has to save everyone. So somebody's gotta be the bait!" Scott shouted, and I haven't heard that tone with anyone other than myself before. 

Lydia closed her eyes and let out an even breath. Scott shouldn't have said that, especially in front of Hayden. Liam had been pushing his buttons and he snapped though, so there's nothing that could be done. I'm sort-of glad that Scott actually wasn't worried about hurting anyone's feelings though and he said what he meant, it just sucks that it had to be about this. 

I watched at Liam swallowed thickly and took a step closer to my brother, "Scott, promise me that you'll do everything you can to save her?"

Scott was silent as he glanced at Liam wearily. Liam was asking him to keep an extremely hard promise, and keeping hard promises wasn't something that Scott did too often. If it came down to it Scott would want to save Hayden, but that doesn't mean that he would do whatever he could to save her. Like, for instance if he would have to bite her-- he wouldn't do it. There are some things that even Scott McCall won't do to save the day. 

Liam was starting to get a little panicky, "Scott? Promise me?"

"I'll do everything I can. I promise." Scott assured him. 

I sighed, knowing that this situation wasn't going to end well. It's not an Admonere feeling either, it's just a common sense feeling. 

Hayden's voice suddenly filled the silence, "Guys... I think I might need a little help right now. I forgot my pills... I have a bottle in my locker, I can get them but--"

"I'll get them." Scott cut her off. 

My brother glanced at Liam and he nodded in realization, Scott was already taking to his promise. I wasn't a fan of him leaving the locker room, but him and Liam were the best two options seeing as how they could defend themselves better than Lydia, Hayden and myself.

Scott looked to Hayden, "What's your combination?"

⬘ ⬘ ⬘

Scott had left thirty seconds ago and Lydia volunteered to keep watch by the door. That left me in charge of sitting back with Liam and Hayden. Every fiber of my being was telling me to text or call Stiles, but I couldn't. I have a bad feeling and I don't like having bad feelings, especially when it involves Stiles. 

Liam walked over to me and sat down next to me on the bench, "Are you okay?" 

"What? Me? Yeah, I'm fine." I answered him quickly, not wanting him to think that I was becoming unhinged or anything. 

He quirked an eyebrow, "Like I said before, you're a terrible liar." 

I sighed and ran my hands over my face a few times, "I'm just worried about Stiles. Well, that and I'm slightly concerned about the fact that the Dread Doctors are going to show up at some point." 

This time I had told him the truth. I was extremely concerned for Stiles' safety and I was extremely concerned for all of our safety here at the school. Granted, I was sure that Stiles was slightly safer than us but I wasn't sure. For all we know, something worse than the Dread Doctors could be taking the bodies. I highly doubt it, but you never know. 

Hayden was anxiously pacing around I was wondering why she even needed the pills anymore if she was a supernatural creature now. Shouldn't she be able to just heal and not need the medication? Does she know that? Or is it different when you are created in a dingy lab by parascientists? 

I nodded my head in her direction, "What are the pills for?" 

"Her kidney," he said quietly, obviously not wanting her to hear us talking about it. 

I wanted to ask more questions, but I decided to wait until she wasn't in the same room. I was curious how Liam had developed feelings for her so quickly but I know that once you fall, you fall hard... thankfully she was willing to catch him. If we make it out of this, I'm going to obviously have to have a talk with her about how she needs to treat him right or we will be having several problems. 

I wish that we could check in on Malia and Parrish, but we have no way to contact them. Parrish was outside the building and Malia was extremely far down the hallway. Scott may run into her on the way to Hayden's locker and I'm sure that if he does he will say something to her. I may still be slightly angry with her about the Theo thing but I still don't want anything to happen to her. 

My eyes wandered back over to Liam, and he was watching Hayden. His eyes hadn't been off of her since he came over. I chuckled as I elbowed him in the side, "You really like her, don't you?" 

His cheeks flushed red and he cleared his throat, "Now isn't the best time to talk about it."

"Why?" I laughed lightly, "Because she can hear you?"

Liam's eyes widened, "That's exactly why, will you stop, oh my God." 

"I'm sorry, I'll stop." I promised as I tried to contain my laughter. Embarrassing Liam will never not be fun to me. He just panics so much and it's so entertaining. 

I remember back when I felt that way about talking about my feelings for Stiles. It's crazy how far we've come since then. It feels like it's been forever but then when I think about it, I realize that it hasn't been even close to forever. I remember whenever Stiles used to say my name, my cheeks would tinge a bright shade of red that was impossible to conceal. I remember that my mouth would go dry as soon as he started talking about kissing me and hugging me. Now, I live for those moments but before they made me nervous as hell. 

I'm so glad that we are sticking together through this mess that we are currently in. Normally, things like this push us apart but if anything this time, it's pulling us closer together. We are sharing the same thoughts and opinions and we are working together as a team no matter what. I only hope that it stays that way once things get slightly more complicated. Stiles and I have been trying really hard to move past all the negative things in our past so we can have a brighter future, this is definitely putting it all to the test. 

A familiar scent infiltrated my sinuses and I sniffed the air in confusion, "Do you smell that?" I asked Liam.

He sniffed the air and shrugged, "No? What is it?" 

"Smoke," I said quietly, "where the hell did Lydia go?" 

I had just noticed that she was no longer standing in the doorway. I stood from the bench and made my way over to the door, Lydia wasn't in the hallway or anywhere to be found. I groaned and stepped back into the locker room, closing the door behind me. 

"Where is she?" Liam asked. 

I shrugged, "She probably went with Scott, I'm sure everything is fine." 

The smoke was now starting to burn my nostrils, but I didn't see smoke anywhere. So, how in the hell am I smelling it when nothing is smoking? I began to pace around the locker room, locking for the source of the smell. 

Liam and Hayden were following behind me like lost puppies, "What are you doing?" 

"I smell smoke... I don't know where the hell it's coming from." I complained as I began to check in the lockers.

I don't have the supernatural ability to smell things, so where am I getting this scent from? It has to be from somewhere in the room, but Liam and Hayden can't smell it... so that leaves only one other option that I can think of. I connected myself to someone and they are near smoke. I have no idea who it could be though, that's the problem. 

"Is it your ability, maybe?" Liam asked.

I nodded, "I think it is. I don't know who it is, though."

Well, it was easy to rule out Scott and Lydia because if they were near smoke somewhere in the school then Liam and Hayden would be able to smell it. Obviously, it's not Liam or Hayden either. That leaves Stiles in my opinion and the thought of him being near smoke was making me nervous. 

"I think it's Stiles," I panicked slightly, "I need to call him... I'm gonna have to go outside, will you two be okay in here by yourselves for like five minutes?" 

Liam nodded, "Yeah, go call him." 

"Okay, I'll be right back, close the door behind me." I stated as I rushed out of the locker room and made my way through the hallway. 

I knew that the cell phone jammers were blocking this wing of the school, so I would need to practically cross campus to get out of their range. I don't like the idea of running all the way to the other side of the school and being out of a safe area when the Dread Doctors could show up at a moments notice. 

Then again, Stiles' life may very well be on the line and I need to know that he's okay. 

I pulled my phone out of my pocket and saw that I still had no service. I quickened my pace, praying that I didn't pass Scott or Lydia so they wouldn't yell at me for leaving Liam and Hayden unattended. I'm sure they'll be back to the room in a matter of seconds now, so it's not a big deal. I have to at least convince myself that so I don't work myself up and start freaking out even more. 

I rounded the corner of the hall that was going to lead to an exit, and I froze when I saw a body standing in front of the door. They were hidden by the dark shadows and I couldn't make it who or what it was, but they took a step forward in front of the window and the moonlight illuminated them. I swallowed thickly when I saw Tracy. 

She was in jeans and a red sweater, her hair was straight and her skin wasn't scaly like a Kanima. She looked like a normal teenage girl. I wanted to take a step back but then I realized that she was going to end up chasing me no matter what I did, so I decided to not move. Tracy took another step towards me, "Kasey, I need your help." 

I then recognized the voice that I had heard earlier in the locker room. It had belonged to Tracy. 

If I'm having another violent hallucination, I don't want it. I don't want to relive killing her. I don't want to be stuck here dealing with this right now. I need to call Stiles and make sure that he's okay. I glanced at my phone screen and I had one bar of service. I know that as soon as I get through those doors behind her I would be able to call him. 

"Did you hear what I said? I need your help." she spoke again, taking another step forward.

I blinked rapidly, "With what?" 

"I need you to kill me again." 

My eyes widened and I felt a sharp pain in my hand. Where my cell phone had just been, was now the piece of metal that I had stabbed Tracy with. I dropped it to the floor and noticed that it had sliced my palm open again. I don't want to do this. I can't do this again. 

Tracy smiled and was now standing directly in front of me, "What? You can't fight to survive a second time? You did so well the first time."

I squeezed my eyes shut, praying that she would just go away. I know that this isn't real because I freaking killer her. This is my mind playing tricks on me once again and I'm refusing to fall victim to it. I can't fall victim to it because I need to stay strong so I can get the hell out of here and call Stiles and make sure that he's okay. He's the main priority right now.

"Okay, how about I kill you this time, then? That's only fair, right?" she asked me and that question caused my eyes to snap open.

The broken piece of metal was in her hand and she was smiling at me. I watched in horror as she raised the weapon and I jumped out of the way as she went straight for my neck. My shoes slid across the floor and I struggled to take off running for the door, but I managed to get a few feet away from her. Well, a few feet before she appeared in front of me again. 

I skidded to a halt and turned around, attempting to run the other way, but once again she appeared in front of me. I was breathing heavily as she shook her head from side to side, "You can't run from what you did."

"I'm not trying to," I rasped out heavily.

She nodded, "You are... but that's okay, I'm going to fix it now. It's your turn."

"What--" I was cut off as she slid the piece of metal across my throat. 

I started choking as blood spurted into my mouth. I fell to my knees, watching as my blood now sat in a pool in front of me on the white tile floor. My hands flew to the wound, trying to keep it together but it was coming apart. I couldn't breathe and Tracy just stood there watching me with a sadistic grin on her face. 

My vision started to go grainy and I saw three figures approaching me from down the hall. It was the Dread Doctors. They're here, in the school. I left Liam and Hayden. What have I done? I continued to cough before one of them stopped walking and stood directly in front of me. They wrapped their hands around my throat and pulled me off the ground, "You show potential." 

I then felt an electric shock travel through my body and everything went numb. I fell to the floor and then the Dread Doctor scooped me up off the ground and began to carry me. I couldn't move or speak, I was laying limp in their arms with my eyes falling in and out of focus. Where are they taking me? My eyes began to drift around, trying to take in my surroundings and I found that we were going to the locker room. They are going to take Hayden. 

The door opened on it's own and the Dread Doctors waltzed into the room. I could see Liam and Hayden through a haze and when he saw me he cried out my name in a panic. I wanted to tell him to run, but I couldn't. 

The one in front of me used their cane to knock the cell phone jammer we had to the ground. My head lobbed to the side so I couldn't see what he was doing with it but my guess was that he was destroying it. 

"We are on a frequency you can't possibly imagine."
