"SO, WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?" Scott questioned once Stiles and Wren arrived at the hospital along with the sheriff. Apparently, two of the doctors were missing, and they had both been kidnapped in the same night. That meant that the human sacrifices were moving onto the Healers section.

Sheriff held up a hand to slow him down as he asked. "Hang on. Hang on. They were both in the car?"

"No, Dad, they're trying to tell you that it was two separate kidnappings, okay?" his son explained to him exasperatedly, trying to focus on the fact that there was no way that this was a coincidence. It just could not be. "Two doctors, both gone."

"So, whose car is this?" Stilinski quizzed, gesturing to the car next to them that had arrived at the hospital with no one in it. Scott and Ethan had found it which brought the police there to investigate.

Melissa piped into the conversation because she knew more about the victims than they did since she worked at the hospital and actually knew them, and she informed the man, "Dr. Hilyard, the on-call doctor. The ER attending is the one that never made it back in."

"Let me just focus on getting your story first, all right?" Noah told the McCall woman before turning back to the best friends that were standing in front of him, waiting for him to tell them to do something. "Boys and Wren, give us a second."

"Sure," the blonde girl told him as the boy nodded. They heard a siren in the distance approaching when they stepped over to the side of the conversation to talk.

Scott looked up at the sheriff's son with raised eyebrows as he questioned, "So, these are definitely sacrifices, right?" If they were not sacrifices, then that was one crazy coincidence.

"Yeah, it's one Deaton mentioned — healers," the Stilinski boy told them. Wren was still shocked that they went after two people in one night. Whoever was sacrificing these people must be on a clock. They were moving fast.

"What about Danny? He threw up mistletoe. That's not a coincidence, and if he hadn't been with Ethan, he probably would've died," Scott added, and the Carter girl recalled when he told them that Ethan had brought Danny to the hospital because he could not breathe, and Melissa saved his life. "Danny's not a healer."

Stiles just shrugged because he had no clue either. Then he froze when he saw his father talking to someone urgently on the phone. He looked to Scott and pointed to the man. "Can you hear that?"

"They found a body."

After the hospital, Scott drove Wren back to his house on his motorcycle because it was late, and he did not feel like driving all the way to her house even though she didn't even live that far away from him. He also somehow convinced her to sleep in Melissa's room with him to make sure that she wasn't the third sacrifice.

She was fine with it because she hadn't planned on getting much sleep anyway. She was really hyper and was glad to have something to do. Isaac would be there as well because Derek kicked him out. The three of them snuck into the woman's room after they were sure that she was asleep.

The Lahey boy fell asleep almost immediately, and Scott agreed to wake him up when it was his turn to be on watch. Wren and Scott sat side-by-side not saying anything. The blonde girl avoided eye contact by just staring straight ahead since everything that happened at the motel had not left her head. Scott, however, picked up on the fact that she had been acting weird around him, and he raised his eyebrows at her.

"Did something happen at the motel?" he asked her, and she tensed up at the mention of it. "You've been acting weird."

She shook her head, trying to play it as cool as she could. But her cheeks heated up at the memory of him pressed against her, his lips brushing against her ear and neck. She replied quickly, "No, I don't think so."

"I can hear your heartbeat, Wren," he reminded her, and she glared at him. They had made a pact when he first got his powers that he wouldn't do that to her, but he didn't take the pact very seriously, apparently.

She sighed, running a hand through her hair before giving in, as much as she didn't want to. "Okay, something did happen, but it's really not important."

"What is it? I remember almost nothing," he informed her, and he looked kind of nervous to hear what she was about to say. He had blacked out for a lot of it until he tried to kill himself.

She bit her lip and looked down, contemplating how to explain it properly without either of them freaking out. She paused for a long moment before admitting, "You just...tried to kiss me." His jaw dropped immediately, and he put his head in his hands. "But you were under whatever magic was happening at that place, so it's okay!"

"That is so embarrassing," he groaned.

Her nervous smile turned into an offended look as she hit him on the shoulder. That wasn't what he was supposed to say. Was it embarrassing to kiss her? "Hey!"

"I didn't mean it like that. I meant..." he started, but he paused after a moment. He sighed, "Never mind."

She shrugged because the Lahey boy sitting on the other side tried to do the exact same thing. He was a bit more straight-forward with it, though. "If it makes you feel any better, Isaac tried to kiss me too."

"I did what now?" Isaac's head shot up, his eyes wide and his face turning red as the information was revealed.

She furrowed her eyebrows and tilted her head at him in confusion, wondering it he had been listening that entire time. "I thought you were asleep."

"I was eavesdropping, I'm sorry."

《❀》

"GUYS!" Melissa yelled, causing all of the teenagers on the ground to jerk awake and scramble to their feet and stare at her like deer caught in headlights. Isaac's head that was resting on top of Wren's when he was asleep shot up as he twisted awkwardly. "What do you think you're doing?"

"Uh, we were watching over you." Isaac looked back and forth between both of the McCalls and the blonde standing next to him for help. She just shot a thumbs up at him, cheering him on silently.

Scott nodded along, confirming his story. They were just trying to protect his mother despite how weird it looked. He exclaimed, "We wanted to make sure you weren't the third sacrifice!"

"But all of you were asleep..." she pointed out, confused, and that was when Wren realized that no one had ever woken her up for her shift. Someone fell asleep during their watch before hers.

The McCall boy's eyes widened as he also realized what happened before he turned to the boy with the curly hair. He yelled at him, pointing the blame at him as well, "You were on watch last!"

"What are you talking about?" the Lahey boy questioned with furrowed eyebrows, trying to remember what happened the night before that did not have anything to do with the Carter girl. However, that was all he could remember. "You were on watch last."

"Isaac was on watch when I fell asleep," Wren told them, raising her hands in defense of herself as the boy shot her a playful look as if she had just betrayed him completely.

As she sent back an apologetic look, he reconsidered his claim when he remembered what had happened. He looked to Melissa sheepishly, "I might have been on watch last."

"My heroes," the woman replied with an amused expression as she smiled at her son and his friends. As weird as it was, it was cute that they wanted to watch over her. "Wait, didn't you say that they were all doctors? I mean, I haven't had an M.D. recently attached to the end of my name, so I think I'm in the clear."

"Yeah, but it could just come under any kind of healer, Mom, and you were definitely a healer last night," Scott reminded her about how she saved Danny's life.

Melissa sighed before gesturing for them to get to moving. "Yeah, well, I'm not gonna be anyone's human sacrifice today, so all of you get your butts to school."

Once they got to school, they had Mr. Harris's class. Both fortunately and unfortunately — mostly fortunately — the man was still missing, so Ms. Blake was their substitute for that day at least.

"Good morning! As you all know, Mr. Harris is still missing — I mean, sick," she told them once they all got settled into the class. "Anyway, I'm filling in while we all hope and pray for a more qualified substitute to take my place. Okay, so let's get started, shall we?"

"Hey, my dad said that the ER attending wasn't strangled but did die from asphyxiation — they just don't know how," Stiles whispered to his two friends as the woman began to write something on the board.

Scott nodded slowly. "Do you think the on-call doctor could still be alive?"

"I don't know, but Scott, there's got to be at least twenty other doctors in that hospital at least, you know?" the sheriff's son pointed out to them. "Any one of them could be next." Scott's phone buzzed, and he leaned over the desk to tell the person that he could not talk at that moment since they were in class.

Wren swung her feet for a bit, waiting for him to get off the phone so he could tell them what it was all about. Scott's face as he brought the phone away from his ear made her heart drop.. She asked, "Scott, what happened?"

"Deaton's been taken."
