Chapter One-Hundred-Two: Condition Terminal Part Two

Donovan was taken by the Dread Doctors. He woke up, strapped down to a table. "His condition looks promising." One of them said.

"What does that mean?" Donovan asked.

One of the doctors grabbed a set of pliers and began ripping out his teeth. As she ripped out his teeth, a new set of teeth grew in. A set of Wendigo teeth.

~Beacon Hills Memorial Hospital~

Lydia is being taken into surgery, her mother by her side. "You're going to be okay, sweetheart," Natalie said comforting her.

"Mom... you can't say anything about what you saw. You cant..." Lydia begged.

"All I saw was some lunatic girl trying to kill everyone. You're going to be fine." Natalie replied in hesitation.

"You can't tell anyone. You just cant..." Lydia repeated before going into the surgery room.

~Waiting Area~

Malia, Stiles, Theo, Kira, Devana, and Allie were waiting to hear about Lydia. Allie and Devana fell asleep head to head. Moments later, Liam and Scott burst through the door waking the two of them up. When Allie saw Liam she jumped up and ran over, embracing him in a hug. "I missed you."

Liam hugged back, "I've missed you, too."

Melissa finally came out to tell them about Lydia's condition. She walked over to them, "Stiles..."

"How bad is it?" Stiles asked worriedly.

"Could have been worse. Theo, nice going on that tourniquet. You probably saved her life." Melissa commented. "Any other supernatural details I need to know about, or do we just stitch her up and hope for the best?" she whisperly asked.

Kira spoke up, "It was the tail."

"Yeah, Tracy cut her with her tail, if that makes a difference," Scott added.

"Okay." Melissa nodded.

"But it wasn't just Tracy. There were the others-the guys in the masks." Malia informed Melissa before she walked off.

Devana and Allie looked at one another, "You don't think she's talking about... them, do you?" Allie asked Devana quietly.

Devana turned to Allie, "Why would you ask me a question you already know the answer to?" she asked.

~McCall House~

Scott, Kira, and Deaton were in the living room. Deaton pulls out a bottle, "A Werewolf with the talons of an eagle-possibly a shapeshifter known in eastern mythology as a Garuda." he pulled out another bottle, "Tracy's claws. The unmistakable claws of a Werewolf. But, a Werewolf who also bears the venom and the scales of a Kanima." Deaton explained.

"What do you even call that?" Kira asked.

"Personally, I call it terrifying. But, at the moment, I'm more interested in how Tracy was able to get across the mountain ash."

"I thought nothing supernatural can do that," Kira said.

"As did I. So, if Tracy was able to cross the mountain ash and no supernatural can do that..." Deaton said.

"...Tracy's not supernatural." Scott interrupted.

"Exactly. If she wasn't born, and she wasn't bitten, she had to have been made." Deaton implied.

"Made?" Scott questioned.

"Someone is trying to make supernatural creatures with non-supernatural means. And, whoever they are, they're somehow managing to blur the lines between science and the supernatural." he theorized.

"But there's more. Liam said he found another hole out in the woods." Scott informed Deaton.

"Burying them could be part of their process- a kind of incubation," Deaton suggested.

"What are we supposed to do?" Kira asked.

"The same thing you've always done. Protect your friends. Protect each other," Deaton turned to Scott, "Protect your daughters."

Scott nodded, "So, what about someone like Tracy?"

"I wish I could tell you. Hopefully, I'll have more answers soon. I'll be gone for a few days." Deaton informed them as he picked up the bottles.

"You're leaving?" Scott asked.

"Just for a few days," he said heading towards the door.

"How scared should we be?" Kira asked quickly.

Deaton turned around, "I've lived in the world of the supernatural a long time... But I'm still a doctor. Still a man of science. Something like this happens? It rattles the foundation of everything you believe. Something like this shakes you to the core." Deaton explained.

"Something like what?" Scott asked.

Deaton sighed, "The rules... The rules have changed."

~Beacon Hills Memorial Hospital~

Lydia wakes up the following day from her surgery and sees Parrish sitting in the room. "What are you doing here?" she asked.

Parrish looked at her, "Officially, I'm here to gather eyewitness testimony. Unofficially, I'm trying to find something to watch... but the only thing that comes in is this Kung-Fu movie. You like Kung-Fu movies?"

Lydia looked at how they were fighting on the tv, "Do you know how to do that?" she asked.

"I know a little Ju-Jitsu. In the army, they taught us CQC-Close Quarters Combat." Parrish explained.

"Can you teach me?"

"You want to learn Ju-Jitsu? Hand-to-hand?" he asked shocked.

"I want to learn how to fight. Can you teach me?" she asked firmly.

Parrish agreed, "Yeah. I can teach you."
