As the night came, the team was forced to pull into a motel for the night. The reason for why was clear but Nova still didn't have a good feeling about it and she wasn't the only one. Something about the night felt eerie but maybe it was just the paranoia she had. She wasn't sure but she knew that whatever she felt, wasn't good.

People paired up and grabbed a key. Nova unfortunately was left without a partner but she didn't mind, she could use some peace and quiet for a while.  When she made it to her room, she set her stuff down and picked up her English book she'd gotten from her teacher before their trip. She thought that reading would relax her and maybe make her fall asleep.

For half an hour it was doing the trick. She definitely felt something but at the ring of her phone she was snapped out of it. She got a text from Stiles calling her to her room. She walked the few steps to the room he shared with Scott and walked in.

"Good you're here." He laid down on the bed, "All right, so I have four." Scott copied his actions.

Nova quickly caught on to what he was talking about and went to lay next to Stiles, "Four? You have four suspects?"

"Yeah, it was originally ten." Stiles shrugged, "Well, nine, technically, I guess– I had Derek on there twice." Nova narrowed her eyes at Stiles making him throw his hands up in surrender.

"So, who's number one? Harris?"

Tiles nodded, "Just because he's missing, doesn't mean he's dead."

"So, if he's not dead, our chemistry teacher is out secretly committing human sacrifices...?" Scott reamkred confused.

"Yeah, I guess that just sounded way better in my head."

"Well, what if it's someone else from school? Like, you remember Matt? We didn't know that he was killing people..." He suggested then noticed the deep frown on Nova's face, "Sorry." He apologized.

Stiles sat up appalled, "Excuse me? I'm sorry, what? I– Yes, we did! I called that from day one, actually." He pointed out then turned to Nova, "Sorry." He apologized.

"Yeah, but we never really thought that it was Matt..."

Nova tilted her head a bit and sat up on the bed, "Technically Stiles did predict it." She agreed.

"Exactly! Thank you Noves." He smiled triumphantly at the girl before glaring at Scott, "I was serious! I was quite serious, actually! Deadly serious! No one listened to me!"

Scott ignored his words, "Who were the other three?"

"Derek's sister, Cora– no one knows anything about her, and she's Derek's sister." Stiles explained.
