Foresight

Chapter 94: 6-7

Theo wakes up inside one of the cadaver drawers in the Beacon Hills Hospital Morgue. He batters the door until it opens. He seems confused as a voice from the hallway outside whispers his name. He heads toward the voice and finds his sister Tara Raeken on the ground crawling toward him.

"Anyone else get the whole ring girl vibe here? Just me? Ok" Mason said out loud then mumbled the last part to himself.

There is a gaping bloody hole in her chest where her heart was removed.

Theo winced. This was one of the choices he was beginning to regret right now.

She reaches into his chest and rips out his heart. He flashes back to when he let her die so that the Dread Doctors could take her heart and place it in his body to make him a chimera. He dies. Theo wakes up inside one of the cadaver drawers in the Beacon Hills Hospital Morgue. He batters the door until it opens. A voice calls his name. His sister catches him and rips out his heart. Theo relives this over and over again until finally he no longer runs from his sister and says she doesn't have to stop.

"You gave up" Stiles said a little wide eyed. Theo shrugged, "one person can only run for so long" he muttered.

Malia sits on Theo's chest and pounds his face again and again. Theo says she doesn't have to stop, but once she flicks out her claws, Liam steps in and stops her. He and Scott pull her off. Scott assures her Theo is going back in the ground. Liam objects explaining that Theo could help them because he remembers Stiles and he knows about the Wild Hunt from his time with the Dread Doctors. Scott is unconvinced. Malia just wants to kill him. Liam points out that Noshiko Yukimura gave him the sword and Theo is his responsibility. Theo picks this tense moment to make a joke, "It's so awkward when mom and dad fight." They all yell for him to shut up.

"You really need to work on your delivery" Mason sighed. Stiles perked up at the last words and looked at Lydia who seemed to be humming to herself.

Hayden tries to back up Liam but Scott is adamant that Theo goes back to the Skinwalkers. Scott and Liam go to talk privately. Malia wants to kill Theo but Hayden blocks her. Theo admits there are mixed feelings about him but says he may be their only option to stop the Wild Hunt. Liam and Scott both agree they can't trust Theo. Liam says they can still use him. Scott reminds him that Theo tricked Liam into trying to kill Scott and then finished the job himself when Liam failed. He also points out that he killed the other chimera and his sister.

"All good points" Lydia said.

Liam argues that Theo might be their only chance to get Stiles back from the Ghost Riders. Liam admits that using Theo might be a mistake but points out that Scott also made mistakes when he was "learning to be an Alpha." Scott eventually acquiesces because he says they have to do whatever it takes to save Stiles.

"Just admit you lost the argument" Stiles snorts in amusement. Scott rolled his eyes but did not grace Stiles with any reply.

Liam holds the sword and threatens that he can put Theo "back in the ground" anytime. Theo counters that they also need a generator that can handle five billion joules of electricity in order to catch a Ghost Rider and Theo knows where to find one and can show them how it works. He says he'll help them if Malia promises not to kill him. Liam says she promises. Malia says she doesn't. She's not on board with the plan and decides to leave them to try an idea of her own.
