Scott, Kira, and Edward uses study hall to figure out about the Chimeras.  Sarah called Scott to let him know that Josie was awake and she's been asking for him, but he had to apologize and say that he will come by later to see her.  He mentions that he and the rest had a lot to research what's going on.  He just hopes Josie understands. 

Stiles and Malia comes pacing up the stairs to the second floor of the library and headed towards them.  "Did you get in to see Lydia?"  Kira perks up.

Scott shuts his phone and turns to them.

"No.  I tried using my free period but she's still in the ICU and no one outside family is allowed in."  Stiles says.

"What about Josie? Is she awake?"  Edward asks.

"Yeah, she's up...and not really happy.  She's been asking for you."  Stiles turns to Scott, who looks down in guilt.  "Theo was there." He adds. Scott's head shoots up, curious to know that Theo was there with his mate...alone. But, maybe he was just being a good friend. It made him uncomfortable though.  

"Is she ok though?"  Kira asks.

"Um, yeah, physically, she's fine.  Emotionally, so-so.  She says Deaton went by to see her before he left.  He did an exam on her and...well, I'm not sure if you guys know much about hearing loss, but this is what she told me.  A normal, healthy person has these hair follicles in our ears.  They basically control our levels of hearing.  When Josie was a kid, she developed a high fever and destroyed the follicles.  Which led to her deafness.  But, when Deaton examined her ears...he said they grew back."  Stiles says.

Malia shrugs while others looked confused, "I don't get it.  So, what if they grew back?" 

"That's humanly impossible.  Once they're destroyed, they shouldn't grow back. Not without surgery. Josie told me there's an experimental surgery that's being done, but she never had it.  Somehow, they healed.  Like they never were affected by the fever."  Stiles says.

"Did Deaton say anything about that?"  Scott asks.

Stiles shakes his head, "He took a blood sample and told her he will get back with her once he figures everything out. 

"We did get one thing."  Malia places a huge book on the table in front of them and opens it. 'Bestiary' it said.

"Anything in here about half-werewolves, half-Kanimas?"  Edward asks.

"The Chimera."  Scott says.

"Um, what?" Stiles stutters, shaking his head in confusion.

"Chimera."  Scott says again, looking at everyone as Kira flips through the pages, seeing picutres of different creatures. "It's a creature made of incongruous parts.  And if Liam said he found two burial sites, it means Tracy's not the only one."

"Who's the second Chimera?"  Edward asks.

"And why would they bury them?"  Stiles asks.

"Deaton thinks it's part of their process."  Scott explains.

"The people in masks."  Malia says.  Everyone looks over to her.  Doubt, yet curiosity.  Just maybe, what if Malia was telling the truth?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the hospital, Josie was getting ready to go home.  Her mom brought her car over and she says she can get a lift home when her shift is over.  Josie was disappointed that Scott never came to see her.  She's gonna give him a major talking to. 

"You're gonna be ok driving home?"  Sarah asks as she walks her out. 

Josie sighs and nods, "Yeah, I'll be fine.  Just..." Josie had a look of frustration on her face.  Sarah rubs her back in comfort.

"Why not call him?  Let him explain from his point of view."  Sarah says.

"Mom, I knew he was having second thoughts, but I thought things were ok now.  I don't know If Theo is telling the truth anyway, but I do want to ask Scott."

Sarah plays with Josie's hair, giving her an understanding smile, "Talk to Scott before you do anything." She says.

Suddenly, a terrible scream erupts through the hospital. Sarah says bye really fast to Josie and takes off running towards the scream. Josie couldn't help but be curious and runs to follow. She sees her mom, Melissa, and Dr. Geyer holding down a teenage boy who was screaming and crying in pain.

"Can someone clue me in as to what's wrong with this kid?!" Dr. Geyer says as he holds the teenager down.

"I'm pretty sure it's this." Melissa says as she lifts the boy's arm. Josie gasps in shock. His lower arm on one side was covered with huge blisters and a long scratch. His skin looked black and slicked with pus and a liquid substance oozed from the cut.

Josie gets out her phone and calls Scott.

"Josie? Are you ok? Look, I'm sorry for not visiting you. We found something that might can help us figure out about Tracy." He quickly says.

"Scott, you need to get to hospital now." She says ignoring his apology.

"Why? What's wrong?" He asks.

"Just get here. Please." Scott could hear the teenager screaming over the phone till she cuts him off.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mason decided to go clubbing that night and dragged Liam with him. But, Liam had other things on his mind. He walks with Mason towards the club, eyes glued to his phone.

"Can you put your phone away for five minutes? Scott can howl if he needs you."

Liam sighs and begins to put his phone away,

"I just feel like I should be doing something."

Mason moves to stand in front of him, "You are. You're my wingman tonight. And considering the state of my dating life, I need a wingman, co-pilot and a really hot flight attendant."

"I'm definitely not your hot flight attendant." Liam scoffs.

"Okay, yeah, choices are limited, but at least here, you can get drunk."

Liam rolls his eyes, he should have explained to Mason that he can't get drunk. The only time he did was cause of the hunter DJ.

They reach the back door of the club and the door opens revealing Hayden.

Liam sighs, god, why does he always have to run in to her.

"I said I'd let you in. Not him." She says, bitterly.

"You said I could have a plus one." Mason points out.

"I didn't say plus Liam." She bites out.

"I'm his flight attendant." Liam says.

"What?"

"Wingman." Liam stutters, correcting himself but shakes his head and turns to Mason, "Forget it. I don't have to go in." He says as he begins to leave.

"No, you're coming." Mason grabs him and pulls him close, throwing an arm over his shoulder. "Okay. How about me and him Plus 50?" He whips out $50.

Hayden snatches it out of his hand and moves to let them in, giving Liam a bitter smile, "Welcome to Sinema."

They head inside and as soon as they pushed the beaded curtains away, lights, people dancing wall to wall, most of them half naked, some dancers dancing in light cages. Waiters and waitresses passing out drink as others go to the bars.

"We don't look old enough to be here." Liam says loudly over the music.

"Neither does he." Mason points to a dancing Brett who was occupied with a girl.

"So is this club mixed?" Liam asks as they look again and see Brett dancing with a guy. Getting very heated.

"Ish." Mason shrugs.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Malia and Stiles were still in the library, trying to put the pieces together. Stiles was passed out from exhaustion and Malia was bored. She kept clicking her pen and started to think about the people in masks. She couldn't stop thinking about how they killed Tracy with that weapon, injecting her full of mercury till she died. She snaps out of her thoughts and gets up to leave.

"Hey. I'm taking off." She says.

Stiles mumbles in his sleep.

"Stiles, wake up and go home. I'll meet you there in a bit." She says.

Stiles mumbles again.

Malia walks down the stairs, passing by a few construction guys.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Scott makes it to the hospital as soon as the elevator doors opened, Sarah, Josie, and Melissa were waiting for him.

"This way. He came in about 45 minutes ago." Melissa says.

Dr. Geyer paces towards them, "Melissa."

"Yeah." She says.

"I'm gonna find an anesthesiologist covering acute pain. See what you can do." He says.

"Okay." She says.

Dr. Geyer leaves and the screaming is non-stop.

"Mom, what's happening to him?"

"It's the pain. Nothing's working. We've already pumped him full of morphine." Melissa says.

"Can't they do anything to help him?" Josie asks.

"We can put him in a medically-induced coma. It's how we help burn victims deal with the pain." Sarah says.

"Let me see if I can help." Scott says as he starts to go in.

Josie follows him along with Melissa and Sarah.

The boy was screaming and groaning in pain, withering over the bed, pulling against the straps.

"Please, make it stop. Please make it stop." He begs.

Scott looks up at Josie, worry in her eyes. He was worried too, he wanted to take his pain, but Josie might feel it. She looks at him, seeing his worry. She sighs and nods, giving him an understanding smile. He sighs and reaches for the boys hand with both hands. He concentrates and takes the boy's pain.

Scott groans in agony. Black veins rapidly spread all over his body. God, so much pain! Josie whimpers as she could feel the pain. God, it was terrible.

"Scott. Let go. Let go of him." Melissa and Sarah both grab him, yanking him away from the boy.

Gasping, he collapses against he bed, feeling the pain go away. Josie sighs in relief as it fades and rushes to Scott.

The teenager finally calms down.

"I'm okay." Scott assures everyone. He turns to Josie, looking at her with guilt and pulls her into his arms. "I'm sorry." He whispers in her ear as they held on to each other for support.

She holds him tight, "We need to talk later, ok?" She whispers back.

He knew what she meant, he pulls back and nods, then turns to the kid, "Let me see it. Let me see his arm." He says.

Melissa takes the teenager's arm out of the strap and carefully peels off the bandage, exposing the wound. The flesh looked like it was eaten away and you could see the muscles.

"Holy..." Josie gasps, covering her mouth to prevent herself from throwing up.

"What is that?" Scott gasps.

"The lab says scorpion venom." Sarah says.

"Scorpion?" Scott frowns as he slowly lets go of Josie and moves to look closer.

"I know. But that's not the weirdest part. Because a sting this bad means that he should have been dead 10 hours ago, and the scorpion that stung him would have been 10 feet tall." Melissa says as she wraps the boy's arm.

"Please tell me that doesn't mean there's a giant scorpion running around Beacon Hills." Sarah says.

"Lucas..." The teenager mumbles. Scott listens in, "It was Lucas."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Back at Sinema, Liam felt something off while being there. Like he could sense another being. But, it felt weird. He lost it, then continues to look for it. He couldn't sense anything so he turns to Brett and see if he did.

"No, I didn't catch anything." Brett says.

"No one else in here's like us?" Liam asks as they both look around at the dancers and waitresses.

"I don't know, dude. Maybe. It's Beacon Hills. What's the difference?" Brett shakes his head and shrugs.

"It felt different." Liam says.

"What do you mean?"

"It felt off. It felt wrong." He explains, then moves to look around.

Mason comes up to Brett, "Hey, uh, do you see that guy? He keeps looking over here." He says to Brett, nodding to a guy who stood in the corner, looking over to them.

"Do you know him?" Mason asks.

"Yeah. That's Lucas." Brett says.

Mason smiles over at him.

From behind Lucas, he was gripping his hands behind his back tightly, as spikes start to slowly protrude from his arms.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Scott leans closer to the teenager in the hospital bed with Josie standing next to him.

"Hey, Corey. What Lucas did to you, he's gonna do it to someone else, and it's gonna be much worse."

"We need to know what happened." Josie says.

Corey slowly gets up to a sitting position, he was still feeling pain, but not as bad, "I don't really know. He's never been like that before."

"Like what?" Scott asks.

"Aggressive. We were taking it slow, but it wasn't me. He was the shy one. Then we're hanging out today and it's like he was a different person."

"Like, different how?" Josie asks.

"Like, super confident. We were just kissing and then I felt this sharp sting on my arm and And then I looked up at him and I swear his eyes turned black." Corey says.

"You mean totally black?" Josie asks.

"The whole eye." Corey nods. "But it was only for a second. And then he said sorry, that he'll see me at the club tonight and then he just left. And then a few minutes later, I'm in the worst pain of my life."

Josie scrunches her brows in confusion, "Hold on, you said club. What club?"

"Every Friday night. Sinema." Corey says.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Back at the club, Liam was moving through the club, being shoved and pushed in the crowd. He still couldn't let it go that something was here with them in the club. He wasn't looking at where he was going and before he knew it, he bumps into Hayden, making her spill the drinks she carried.

"Are you kidding me?" She exclaims angrily at Liam. "Those were $10 each."

"Sorry." He says.

"The bartender isn't just going to refill them for me." She bites out.

"Uh, okay, um, I've got money." He stutters, cleaning out his pockets. "I've got, um...Uh...$12 and...uh...Change."

She takes the money, "You still owe me $200." She growls out and throws the coins back at him.

Mason and Lucas go into a private spot of the club, when Mason turns around he sees Lucas looking at his shirt. He looks down and sees a movie being shined over his shirt.

He laughs, "Night of the Living Dead."

"What?" Lucas asks.

"The movie? Yeah, it's one of the first classic zombie movies. Have you never seen it?"

"Never. How does it end?" Lucas asks.

"The zombies pretty much win. All the good guys die." Mason says.

"So, I guess it's better to be one of the bad guys." Lucas smirks and walks closer to Mason.

"Maybe." Mason walks backwards till he reaches a wall. "Sometimes."

Lucas leans in closer and kisses Mason softly, without Mason realizing the spikes sticking out of Lucas's neck.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Josie, Scott, Kira, and Edward head to the back way of the club.

"A kid turning into a half-scorpion, half-werewolf? Is there even a myth for that?" Kira asks.

"Sumerian." "Sumerian." Josie and Scott says at the same time. Scott frowns at Josie, how did she know that?

"I remember something about it in the Bestiary." He says.

"I read about it in another book I have at home." She says. "You know how I like to read about myths."

The back door was locked so Scott uses his wolf strength to open the door, but it causes the alarms to go off.

Everyone looks at each other in panic till Kira gets out a throwing star and throws it at the alarm, making it explode and stop.

"God, I love you." Edward smirks.

Kira giggles.

Mason and Lucas were making out in the spot, Lucas's arm starts spouting spikes all over. Suddenly, Lucas was ripped away from Mason and thrown across the room. Mason looks and sees it was Brett, with his eyes glowing yellow and growling. Mason looks at him in confusion till he sees Lucas looking up at them, his eyes black as night. Soulless.

"Run." Brett growls out.

"You did it again. You did something that changed everything and you don't even realize you did it but you did." Kira says.

Josie and Scott looks at her in confusion.

"I did?" He asks.

Suddenly, he hears a loud roaring. No one else heard it, but him.

In the private area, Lucas and Brett fought. Brett growls at him, swiping his claws but Lucas seemed so strong. Lucas managed to grab Brett's neck and shove him against a bar. He tries several times to swipe his spikes at Brett, then finally gets him in the stomach. With Brett on the ground, clutching his wound, Lucas lifts his arm to strike again but Liam runs and tackles him to the floor. Lucas gets on top of Liam, but Liam holds his spikes away.

Kira, Scott, Edward and Josie come running into the area. Liam sees them and groans,

"You're a little late!"

Scott jumps and grabs Lucas and pushes him away. Lucas wins control and shoves Scott to the floor. Edward and Kira grabs their swords and fights Lucas.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Malia went back to Tracy's bedroom to find anything about what she saw. What could explain about Tracy. Everything. She gets up and looks at the drawings. Nothing. Till she sees a book on the dresser. A note attached to it.

'Here's the book you asked for. Cheesy stuff, but a fun, scary read.'

She removes the note and gasps at what she sees. It was them! The guys in masks. The book carried a title.

'The Dread Doctors.'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kira and Edward were occupid with Lucas. Scott gets up and Mason tends to Brett.

"What the hell is that thing?" He grits out.

Kira was beginning to lose and so was Edward. Lucas was so strong. Till Liam came out and slammed him to the floor.

Lucas shakes his head and starts to come back to his senses.

Kira suddenly feels the fox take over again. Yelling ancient Japanese she runs and brings her sword down at Lucas.

"Kira!" Josie yells.

Edward brings his sword out, blocking her strike. Kira snarls at him and his eyes glow at her in anger. Panting, she snaps out of the trance, pushing the fox away. Even the fox inside recognizes it's mate. Just as her eyes dimmed down, his did as well. She gives him an apologetic look. He still frowns at her, but pulls her face closer to his, resting his forehead against hers, kissing her softly.

"Is everyone okay?" Scott asks everyone. No one said anything, but they seemed ok.

"We need to get him out of here. Liam, give me a hand." Scott grabbed Lucas's arms, and Liam grabs his feet. They begin to pull him up but suddenly a spear is stabbed into Lucas' chest.

Everyone gasps in shock and looks up and sees the dread doctors standing on the second floor. Josie gasps and moves away.

"Why did you do that?" Scott shouts.

"His condition was terminal." The surgeon says.

"What does that mean?" Scott asks, but the doctors turn to leave till Scott shouts at them. "What does that mean?"

"Failure." The surgeon says. He turns and sees Josie again.

"Diana."

Scott frowns and sees that he was talking about Josie, and turns back to the doctors.

"Who the hell is Diana?" Josie shouts.

Sparks erupts from the the second floor and the doctors were gone.

Everyone was in shock, especially Josie. Why do they keep calling her Diana?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Melissa and Scott brought Lucas' body to the morgue, but how were they going to explain about the spikes and the long claws? Josie stood a few feet away from the body. She was tired of seeing bodies everywhere she went.

"I'm sure they'll come up with a reasonable explanation for the stingers in his arms. I guess it's better than trying to explain a tail." Melissa says.

"Better than the truth?" Scott asks.

"Maybe. This is the best that we can do for now." Melissa pushes the body into the freezer storage and shuts it.

Scott sighs and paces around, "I should've done better. I...I...I should've known that this was going to happen. I should've been able to stop it."

Josie walks towards him and wraps her arms around him, letting her powers wash over him.

He sighs and holds her tight.

"You know, your grandfather used to have a saying about the word should." Scott and Josie look over to Melissa. "You know what you're doing when you say should too often?" She asks. "You're should-ing all over yourself." Scott and Josie laugh. "I know that I can't be the mom that says 'I don't want you to do anything about this.' 'Cause you're always going to be involved, because not only do you have the power to do something, you care enough to do it. So all you really need is to ask yourself, 'What am I going to do?'"

Scott looks down at the floor then to Josie, and then to his mom, "I'm going to find out who did this. And I'm going to stop them."

Melissa nods.

"Not alone." Josie says as she brushes her hand over his cheek. The three of them walk out of the morgue and Melissa shuts off the lights.

Soon, the double swinging doors in the morgue open and a figure walks in towards the storage where Lucas' body was held. He opens the door and pulls out the body and carries it out of the hospital.

Caught in a trance, Parrish carries Lucas' body in the woods. Carrying it...to the nemeton. He carefully places it down as his body engulfs in the flames, passing them down to Lucas, watching his body burn.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Stuck in the parking lot of the school, Stiles struggles to fix his jeep as smoke pours out of the engine. Coughing at the steam and odor burning his nose. He takes off the hood and goes to the other side to start working on it.

"Ah." He sighs and uses his wrench to work on it.

Grabbing out the duck tape, he starts taping up the lines again. Without knowing, Donovan sneaks up behind him, lifting up his hand. His hand....had teeth. It opened its mouth wide, long, sharp teeth erupts from his hand.

He grabs Stiles roughly. Stiles could feel the teeth digging into his shoulder, through the cloth and into his skin. He lets out a loud, painful scream.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

(That part always made me wince for him...)
