Third person POV

Scott, Mason and Malia ran into the concrete building, trying to find the way to underground as they reached the stairs.

"Liam? Thea?" Maila called out as they entered an underground tunnel system, pipes covering every surface but the floor.

"There's too many chemicals, I can't find a sent." Scott groaned in frustration.

"Then this might take a while." Mason sighed.

The werewolf and chimera watch as Zach was dragged from the cage screaming, Mercury replacing the blood that gushed from him.

Liam made an attempt to help him but was pulled back from the pain of his own injuries,
Leaving him and Hayden in a room of deafening silence for at least an hour.

"There coming back." Hayden whimpered, knowing what's about to happen to her.

Liam pulled her from the ground gently, griping her hand tight as they lent on the wall for support.

"Liam? Hayden?." A familiar voice calls out.

"Theo! Wait!"

Theo grabs onto the fence his grip not being able to loosen as the electricity flows through him until his vision blurs to blackness.

"Theo, Theo! Are you alright?" Liam's voice echoed through Theo's pounding head as he pulled himself off the ground.

"Yeah." He groaned, grabbing his head after hitting it hard when he fell.

"You think you can get help?" Liam asked, staring at Theo with eyes full of hope.

"I am the help." Theo chuckled, trying to make the statement less sound devastating.

He grabbed onto the fence again, but this time he didn't fall, he stood strong, roaring as electricity flashed around the room, the gate pulling open thanks to Theo.

"Where's Thea? We need to leave now!" Theo yelled at the two, exhausted after being electrocuted twice.

"We don't know, she was dragged out of here when we were still unconscious." Liam groaned as he stumbled over to Theo with Hayden by his side.

"Shit!" Theo cursed.

"Do you have any idea where she could be? Any!" He shouted in a panic, starting to pace around the room thinking of where she be, if she wasn't already dead.

The two just started at him, feeling guilty over the thought they shared.

"Theo we need to leave, Hayden is going to die if we don't get help." Liam mumbled, wishing those words didn't have to come out of his mouth.

"Yeah, after we find Thea, we'll leave." Theo stated making his way down the hall.

Liam let out a regretful sigh.
"No Theo, now. Everyone who left the cage is dead, I hate to say it but the chances of Thea being alive are-"

"Don't." Theo cut him off, raising his hand to make the message clearer.
"Thea needs me to get her out more than you do, so don't think a second that I'd won't leave you, I already saved the you both, Im not going to leave her, I'm not as selfish as you."

"Me! Your the selfish one! We know Hayden is alive and it's almost certain that Thea is dead, your the one who's putting your feelings for Thea over Hayden's and my life." Liam growled putting himself in front of Theo to stop him from walking further down the tunnel.

Those words hit Theo like bricks.

"Fine." A whisper left his mouth, he couldn't bare to look either of the two in the eyes, knowing that if Thea is alive right now, they're the reason he can't save her.

"Looking at Liam and Hayden laying together on the lounge in Scott's living room made me sick, every second he sat here doing nothing was a second more he was causing Thea pain, maybe even death." Theo thought to himself.
"The dread doctors shouldn't have gone after Thea, she's human, and was never a chimera at any point in her life. It didn't make sense, she should been with Liam, I mean, he's not a chimera either so why did they take her somewhere where I couldn't find her."

Soon enough the rest of the pack, other than stiles, entered the living room.
All of them were so happy that the two were saved it was almost like they forgot about Thea.

Until Malia pulled away from the thank you hug she gave Theo.

"Where's Thea?" She asked in a confused tone.

He couldn't look her in the eyes, just stared at the floor as tears burned his eyes. He looked over at Liam, More like glared.

"It was Hayden or Thea, we couldn't find Thea but I found Hayden, if we went looking for Thea even though the chance of her being alive was... almost impossible, and Hayden would likely die. So we had to leave her behind." He mumbled, fighting back tears that he still couldn't understand.

"She's missing! Why is no one listening to me, no one has seen my 15 year old daughter in over 24 hours!" Lauren wailed to the lady at the front desk of the police station.

"I'm sorry ma'am but like I said before all of our officers are at the morgue because people are stealing bodies." The little old lady sighed.

"So a rotting corpse is more important than my daughters life! I swear if you don't-"

"What's going on here?" Sheriff Stilinski asked as him, Parrish and Stiles entered the station.

"My daughter is missing! And no one is listening to me." She cried.

"Wait Thea's missing?" The older Stilinski looked at his son as if he knew what this was about, he wasn't wrong but it was a confusing sight for others to see.

"Yes! Everyone I've called hasn't heard from her in nearly two days!"
Parrish guided shaking Lauren into the sheriffs office, ready to file a missing persons.

"Stiles what the hell is going on?" His father asked.

"The dread doctors took her, Liam and Hayden." He explained.

"Okay Lauren, we put an out a missing person alert, but we need you to go home." Parrish said bluntly, practically pushing her out the door.

Before she could protest Alex walked her outside, giving stiles a death glare.

"What was that all about?" The sheriff asked.

"I don't know." Stiles shrugged with a little bit of fear in his voice as they watched Alex walk out.
