Once Theo left they all turned to me. Scott walked over and looked between Allie and Devana. "Are..."

"Yes." I cut him off. "I wanted to tell you but you never came by."

Scott didn't say another word he just hugged the girls tightly. "Dad, Lydia's waiting," Allie said.

"How does she know?" Kira asked.

"Don't— just don't." Stiles sighed.

Malia and I chuckled, the two of us both knew they had a Banshee connection. We just didn't know how deep the connection was. The girls wanted to stay with their father but I wasn't so sure being around hundreds of people after a fight was the right choice. Also, I wanted to enroll them in school so they needed their rest. The three of us head home as the rest of them headed to the school.

"We haven't seen this kid in years— you don't find that highly suspicious?" Stiles asked.

"I'm kind of more concerned about the guy who tried to kill me," Scott said referring to Belasko.

"I'm in! I passed. I'm officially a senior." Malia said with joy. Stiles ran up to her and hugged her.

Lydia finds them all standing in the hallway, "Thank God! Where have you guys been? The whole senior class is here! Are we doing this or not?"

They all head to the library, where people are emptying books off the bookshelves, revealing several hundred different initials on the shelf over the past years. Stiles goes to write his initials and sees the initials D.H. He looks at the initials for a moment before signing his.

Lydia signs hers next, and Kira goes to write hers but stops

Lydia signs hers next, and Kira goes to write hers but stops.

"This isn't vandalism, is it?"

"... Not technically," Lydia replied.

Malia goes to sign hers but stops at  last initial, unsure whether to sign H or T. She smiles and signs it M.T. Scott puts his initials down and Leia's but pauses for a moment. He then signs for Allison.

"She would have been with us," Stiles said

"She would have been with us," Stiles said.

Scott put his arm around Kira, "Yeah..."

"She still is..." Lydia added. They all leave the library together.

~Dread Doctors Operating Theater~

Belasko entered the rundown medical facility. "Give me another chance... A little more power... I could do it with a little more..." Three people approach, dressed in long coats and steam gear. They have masks and one has a sword. "No, no! Wait! Wait! Wait!" Belasko begged.

One of the doctors looked at him, "Your condition worsens."

"I'm okay. I'm okay, just— just give me another chance!"

"You were supposed to remove the obstacles. Our time is limited."

"Whatever you're here to do, I can help," Belasko said.

"No second chances."

The second doctor repeated, "No second chances."

The third doctor repeated, "No second chances."

The doctor who held the sword stabbed Belasko through the chest, killing him instantly. He fell as ravens clawed their way out of his dead body.

~Present Day~

"No one saw him again, did they?" Aiden asked.

"No..." Lydia said strapped to a gurney, crying.

"But that was the start, wasn't it? The beginning of the senior year. What happened after that, Lydia?"

"Oh... you're not Aiden... you're not real..." Aiden's face became Valack's although he didn't have a third eye. "Tell me Lydia— tell me what happened to them. What happened to your friends?"

"I... I don't remember..."

"It started after you began the senior year. What happened?" he asked.

"I don't remember..."

"What happened? Tell me about Parrish. And Malia. What happened when the Desert Wolf finally found her? What happened to Stiles?" he asked.

"I can't remember..." Lydia sobbed.

"That's all right, Lydia. There are other ways to get details." Valack showed her a device. "This is a special device designed for trephination— the medical art of drilling into the human skull. Let me show you how it works." Valack powered up the drill and started towards her skull.
