"HOW'S SCOTT?" LILITH asked Stiles through the phone

"HOW'S SCOTT?" LILITH asked Stiles through the phone. Just the night before, they had a rough run in with the alpha pack. In the process, Scott got seriously hurt and Derek ended up disappearing. Everyone thought he was dead except for Lilith who just had a feeling. She was on her way to the place it had happened, hoping for some form of clue.

"Not good. He's not healing and we can't figure out why," the boy explained, sounding panicked.

"How bad is it?"

"Pretty bad. But, don't worry, I'm gonna call Allison and Lydia to pull over and see if they can help," he promised her, the girl nodding before realising he couldn't see her.

"Alright. Just keep me updated." She hung up, walking towards where Derek and Ennis had fallen. Just at the end of the escalator, she had run into Cora whose back was turned to her. "Hey. What are you doing here?"

"Jesus Christ!" She shouted, jumping up and turning quickly. "You're really good at sneaking up on people."

"I get that a lot," she shrugged, the wolf rolling her eyes with a small smile.

"I came to see if I could find Derek. I tried following his scent, but I found nothing. I'm starting to think he might actually be dead," Cora muttered, her head hanging low.

"He's not," Lily answered honestly, the wolf giving her a questioning glance. "Oh, right, we didn't actually talk about what happened that night. I'm a Malefica, or a witch. That's how I threw a ton of shit at you the night of the full moon. One of my abilities is intuition, I guess. I know when things are wrong. Something is wrong with Derek, but he's not dead. Yet, anyways. I'm here because we need to find him."

"Exactly why I'm here as well. Great minds think alike," they heard a voice, both looking up at him, Lilith getting ready to throw something, Cora bringing out her claws. "Calm down, it's just me, your uncle."

"Yeah, well, you're not my uncle and you nearly murdered me, so I'm gonna stay ready," Lilith snapped, the man rolling his eyes as if she was being childish.

"Oh, my God. That was six months ago. Get over it!" He yelled at her, only getting a glare in return.

"And you did kill my sister, you know, Laura?" Cora reminded him, angry yet hurt. Lilith couldn't blame the poor girl for being upset. She had lost everything and the little bit of family she had left was dysfunctional at best.

"Neither of those were my finest hour. But I'm hardly the only dysfunctional family member. Did Derek mention he killed me too?" Peter defended himself, Lilith wanting to punch him in the face. He was trying to pull the victim and manipulate his own niece. She wasn't about to let that happen. "Slashed my throat ear to ear."

"So that means I should trust you?"

"Actually, I'm wondering if I can trust either of you," he told them, despite not having any reason not to. Obviously Lilith hated his guts, but Cora didn't really talk with him much.
