Chapter One-Hundred-Twenty Six: Lies of Omission

So, Scott's asthma is back. We're not quite sure how it came back, but he now has to carry his inhaler on him all the time. It's been five day's and we haven't seen any new Chimeras or any Dread Doctors. Lydia and Stiles found out Parrish was the one taking the bodies. No one told Stilinski because that would cause a problem. No one has heard from Kira or Deaton. Deaton is like family because he helped a lot while I was pregnant with Devana and Allie. I owe him my life.

-Animal Clinic-

"I know something's coming. And all I can think about is... How good am I going to be if I can't even breathe?" Scott asked.

"You sound like you're trying to apologize," Theo said.

"You came back looking for an Alpha. I guess I'm sorry that you found me."

"I'm not sorry."

"You still want to be part of the pack?" Scott asked, curiously.

"Scott, I'm with you— for better or worse."

"Trust me... There's gonna be worse." Scott assured.

Theo smirked. "I'm counting on it."

-Dread Doctors Operating Theater-

Theo goes to see the Dread Doctors. "I need more time." He asks them but they ignore him. So Theo yells, "Are you listening to me? I said I need more time."

The Surgeon turns to him, causing Theo to step back. "Perigee-syzygy. The supermoon. We'll know at the perigee-syzygy." The Surgeon said.

"But what about Hayden?"

"Failure."

"No, no, no— not to me." Theo disagrees.

"Failure compromises the experiment pool." The Surgeon explains.

"I kept Scott out of your way. I did everything you wanted. Now, I need Hayden alive." Theo demanded.

"Inconsequential."

"You promised me a pack."

"We promised you nothing."

"I need her alive!" Theo shouted at the Surgeon.

The Surgeon looked at him. "Only until the perigee-syzygy." The Surgeon decided to give Theo until the Supermoon.

-Beacon Hills Preserve-

Lydia and Stiles are searching for the Nemeton. "It's almost like this thing doesn't want to be found..." Stiles said, huffing and puffing.

"Maybe it knows we're late for class... Because we've been here twice." Lydia sarcastically said.

"Crap!"

"Can we talk to Parrish now?" Lydia asks.

"Hang on— if the Nemeton's covered in bodies, shouldn't you be able to find them?" Referring to her Banshee instincts.

"Me?"

"Yes, you. That's what you do! You're the Banshee. You find the bodies." Stiles said dumbfounded.

"Well, the Banshee's having an off day, so how about we talk to Parrish?"

"We can't."

"Why not?" Lydia questioned.

"Because of one of the bodies... One of them could be..."

"Could be what?"

"One of them could be a clue..." Stiles said.

Lydia furrowed her eyebrows. "I'm leaving now, Stiles. I'm going to talk to Parrish and tell him he's the one taking the bodies. It's always better when they know." Lydia started to walk away.

Stiles hollered after her. "Well, then, he should know... he owes me a Jeep!"

-Beacon Hills High School-
(Boys Locker Room)

Liam was in the locker room upset after seeing mercury pour from Hayden's nose earlier. Hayden warned him not to tell anyone. As well as the effects of the Supermoon. Scott approaches him, "Hey... What are you doing?"

"Nothing."

"Hey, Liam... just remember it's a full moon tomorrow. And you're probably already starting to feel it." Scott reminded.

"I know."

"It's a supermoon... Which means it's gonna be closer to the earth." Scott explains.

"Yeah, I-I know what it means."

"Okay. Well, just remember... I'm here for you."

"You gonna chain me to a tree again?" He asked Scott, referring to the night he and Stiles chained him to a tree.

Scott chuckled, "All I meant was... it might be a good idea if we stick together. So we can protect each other."

Liam shook his head slowly. "We can't protect anyone."

Scott sat next to Liam. "Liam, we might not be able to protect everyone. However, you protected someone very important to me." Referring to Leia. "I owe you."

Liam smiled at those three words. 'I owe you'
