"Hayden, Hayden, you gotta stay awake." Liam spoke in the back of the truck, holding Hayden while Theo drove through the rain.
"I'm so tired." Hayden said back, Eli looked back in worry.
"Yeah, I know, but you can't go to sleep." Liam spoke quickly, trying to prevent her from closing her eyes. "How do we help her? Why doesn't she have what Eli has?"
"I don't know." Theo said back, keeping his eyes on the road. "When it's wolfsbane poisoning, you burn it out. But I don't know anything about mercury. Only about what's healing Eli."
"It doesn't make any sense." Eli said with a shake of his head, reaching back to grab Hayden's leg. "Hayden, hey, stay awake. We're almost there."
"Is she gonna heal?" Liam panicked, voice breaking.
"The problem is she's not really like us, Liam." Theo answered him honestly. "None of them are. They're more like-like cheap knockoffs. She might not be as strong as we are."
"Or heal like we do." Liam agreed. "Eli healed."
"Because something weird about Eli." Theo agreed. "They did something to him, I don't know what."
His words alone had the poor boy in his passengers seat on the verge of loosing it.
"She's not a real werewolf." Theo spoke to Liam again.
"What if we turn her into one?" Liam suggested, catching his best friends attention again.
"Nice idea." Theo said with an eye roll. "Except the three of us can't do that."
"But Scott can." Liam pointed out. He looked to Eli. "Why is he a real werewolf? Why is he just like us but Hayden and the others aren't?"
"Liam, I don't know." Theo said back. "All I know is that the plates in his back are what's keeping him alive. I don't know why he heals like we do."
"I'm gonna die." Eli panicked with a shake of his head.
"You're not gonna die." Theo corrected him.
"There's a reason i'm different. There's a reason i'm like all of you and not the chimeras!" Eli rose his voice in a minor panic. "Do I smell like you guys?"
"No." Liam spoke up. "Not at all."
Theo watched Eli rub his chest in a panic, looking over. "Eli, trust me, you're not gonna die."
"How would you know that?" the Foxx boy looked over, the rain loud in his advanced ears.
But, he was ignored.
"Malias not answered." Eli spoke in a panic as he came back to the animal clinic, looking down at Hayden's dying body in Liams arms. "Where the hell is she?"
"She's fine. It's Malia." Theo said back. The sound of the door opening had them looking over, Scott walking in, dripping in the rain water.
"She's getting worse!" Liam called to Scott. "I think she's dying."
