Beacon Hills Animal Clinic

A Few Minutes Later

"Derek's got the triskele box," Malia looked around at the group she had with her. "He's gonna meet us." She put her phone down, glad that Derek had answered her call.

Scott caught Lydia as she nearly fell over. Deaton frowned at her. "What's wrong?" he asked.

"Something's happening," Lydia explained. "I got this sudden rushing feeling, like we're running out of time."

"Yeah," Stiles' voice resounded through the building as he and Kira arrived at the front counter, Stiles' arm wrapped around Kira's shoulders. "Yeah, I kinda got that feeling, too."

The Argent House, the Armory

Meanwhile...

Argent looked at the arrowheads there. "Why would she make four of them?" he asked, staring at the four arrowheads resting there.

"She didn't," Isaac told him. "She made five. She made the first one, and then she figured it out. She used the first silver arrowhead to kill one of the Oni. We saw her do it."

"How?" asked Argent.

"The same way that you almost did," Isaac told Argent. "Do you remember, when you told us about one of your first gun deals, the Yukoza - "

"That meeting wasn't one of my first, it was my first," Argent corrected him.

"That bullet that you used to shoot the Oni - was that a silver bullet?" Isaac asked him, sounding like he already knew the answer.

"Yes," nodded Argent. "But it didn't kill him, it just broke his mask."

"Probably went straight through. What if silver is like a poison to them?" wondered Isaac. "What if it needs to stay in the body? What if that's what she was trying to tell me? What if that's what she was trying to tell you, that she'd figured it out?"

"The other four were still setting when she went off to meet Malia," Argent put the pieces together.

"We can stop them," Isaac said.

"No," Argent held up one of Allison's four remaining silver arrowheads. "We can kill them."

Beacon Hills High School, Inside the School

Fifteen Minutes Later

Malia drove Stiles' Jeep to the school, where they were meeting Derek, since Stiles was too weak to do so. Once they arrived, everyone approached the door: Malia, Scott, Stiles, Lydia, and Kira.

"Malia, wait," Stiles spoke up from where Lydia was supporting him. "I know what you're all thinking, that if this works it might kill me, too. But even if it does, you just - you have to go through with it. Just stick with the plan, okay?"

"The plan is to save you," Malia told him. "That's the plan I'm going with."

They opened the doors of the high school, only to find themselves in an unknown garden that was covered in snow.
