Foresight

Chapter 24: 2-9

Lydia is dreaming. She's in the shower and hears someone say her name. She turns off the water. When she pulls back the shower curtain, we see the BHHS lacrosse field. The crowd in the stands is cheering for her. Some of them hold signs that say "We Love You Lydia." Lydia walks out onto the field and she is wearing her dress from Formality.

"I have a feeling this isn't a dream. Or rather a good one" Lydia mumbled to herself.

While most of the crowd is cheering wildly, one girl seems terrified. Peter Hale walks out onto the field and attacks Lydia, knocking her to the ground and pulling himself on top of her.

"Yep the pedo had to drop in" she sighed out loud earning a groan from said pedo.

She wakes up with her bed full of dirt. Hallucination Peter Hale is now reclining in bed next to her. He explains that he can't leave her alone yet and is not yet real.

"What plan?" Stiles asks the wolf who just shrugged.

He then explains that his plan is set for the full moon in March, also known as the "Worm Moon," called this because it is the last moon of winter and the worms literally crawl out of the earth as it thaws. The next full moon is on her birthday and is the night Peter's plan will come to fruition.

"No way!" Talia and Peter shouted then looked at each other. "You don't think" Peter started then stopped when he saw his sister nod. The siblings went dead quiet and watched, ignoring any and all questions.

He then shows her three visions of her birthday party. One in which everyone is dancing and having a good time followed by one where everyone is blood spattered and dead. The final vision of the party has all the guests standing still, just staring at her. The implication being that if she doesn't follow his plan, everyone will die. He then pontificates about Lydia's immunity and how her friends haven't let her in on the supernatural secrets. When she asks what it is she is immune to, he shows her a vision of himself as The Alpha Werewolf busting through her kitchen window.

"I don't know why the fuck you're after her you pedo. You're dead. Dead men can't do stuff to the living" Stiles said with a snort. Peter looked at the boy before looking back at the screen, looking a bit terrified.

Chris Argent is cleaning his wife's werewolf bites at home. He keeps reassuring her that they are not very deep. Gerard comes down the stairs into the basement. Chris tries to convince his father that the wounds are not that bad and that they can't know for sure that she is infected. Gerard isn't buying it. He says it is a bite from an Alpha and that she is already dead. He describes his daughter-in-law as a "thing" a "cocoon waiting to hatch". Chris protests, thinking of Allison's feelings and the fact that they just lost Kate but Gerard says he won't play "Poisoned King" to Chris' "Hamlet" meaning he won't be the one that forces him to do what he knows he must.

"How dare he!" Allison growled standing up. "How dare he insinuate that my mother is a monster? How dare he tells my father to kill his wife? HOW DARE HE TRY TO TEAR MY FAMILY!" she screamed the last part out, eyes full of tear yet flashing dangerously. Scott gets up and soothes her gently before sitting her down with him.

Derek and Scott conclude that they can't save Jackson. Derek points out that they can't seem to kill him either. Derek says he's never seen anything like the kanima and that every new moon will make him stronger. Scott suggests they leave Jackson to the Argents but Derek feels responsible for turning him and must therefore do it himself.
