Spencer's Pov:

We bring Baron to Everett's house after the plan when to shit, which I thought was a stupid idea with how strict they are."Careful, put him down. Put him down." Harlan has his arms under his armpits, dragging him to Ev's bed to lay him down. "Shit!" Harlan whispers. He sets him against the bed, "We need him up here." I exclaim, crouching next to Harlan. We're all in panic mode, not knowing what the fuck to do. Baron keeps groaning in pain with the silver in his bloodstream slowly killing him. Luna comes out of the bathroom with a towel to soak the blood, "Oh, god. Look out." She says. "What the fuck's happening to him?" Harlan exclaims, "How should I know?" I say trying to keep pressure on the wound. "Just hold him." Harlan says, standing up panting heavy. I look at him, he's having anxiety, I feel it. "Someone help me!" I hear Luna, "Oh, he's still bleeding! We need to do something to help him." Luna says with worry in her voice. "No, we're not! We're not taking him to a hospital." Harlan says, his anxiety getting worse. I walk over to him, "Harlan, you need to breath. Breath in to 7 and out to 11. It'll help, just focus on my voice and your breath." I suggest trying to help him control his anxiety.  "Fuck! I can't breathe!" I sigh, I see him turn his head to Everett. I lean against the wall trying to catch my own breath for a second. "Why can't I catch my breath?" "Why are you looking at me?" "Harlan, breathe." "Because, you're giving me a panic attack." He points at him, his hand shaking uncontrollably. "No. I'm not." Everett says now standing. "Why are my hands shaking?" "That's your anxiety, not mine." I grab his hand, "Focus on your breathing. Listen to my heartbeat, steady yours. You can do this, take deep breaths." He looks at me, closing his eyes and listening to my heart. My heart is steady as I calmed myself down moments ago so he can calm himself. "It's okay, ur doing great." I feel the others eyes on us, watching me calm him down. "Guys, you can literally see the silver in his blood. Oh, god." Blake says, breathing still shaky. "How do we know it's not silver that's keeping him from changing back?" "We don't! We don't know anything!" Luna says to Blake still panicking. Harlan is calmed down for the most part, i walk over to the rest of them with Harlan behind me, still holding my hand for comfort. I hear a phone buzzing, "Maybe he does." Everett says, holding his phone out for us to see. We all look at it to see, 'No Caller ID'. Everett answers it, "The bleeding won't stop until you get that silver out. You have to figure out how to do that first." "Is he dying?" Everett asks the man, "Slowly." "Then we should get him to a hospital.". Everett says, looking around at us, "Of course, if you want everyone to know his secrets- and yours." "Tell us what to do!" Luna says, walking over to Everett. "Find a way to get that silver out, or let him die and break the bond." "Ah fuck." I say, pacing and picking my fingers. Harlan starts pacing too with nervousness flushing through him. "What does that mean, 'break the bond'?" "Blake feels it already, don't you?" The man speaks, I look over at Blake with a confused expression, "Do you actually feel it?" I question, she looks at her hands. "They both do. You felt it as soon as the knife went in. Now you know why Baron was supposed to kill you the night of the full moon." I look at Baron, him moving around in pain. "My strength, her speed and her senses of emotion, it comes from him." Everett exclaimed, pointing us the three of us, "If Baron dies now, the bond fades. The power fades. You'll be ordinary again. But maybe that's what you want. Personally, I don't know why anyone would choose to be ordinary." "Not me, fuck being ordinary." I mumble, picking my skin. I look at Luna, her looking back at me. "Let him die." I put my hands on my head. Fucking A, Blake.

"We need to talk to Dad about everything." Luna says wanting to fill him in on everything, "How about first you make sure Austin keeps his mouth shut?" Harlan exclaimed. "I don't think we should tell Garrett yet. He'll probably take Baron to the cops like Cyrus." I explain, "So what are we gonna do with him? He's not getting any better." Blake questions, I just look at her and sigh. "His heartbeat still sounds the same." Harlan looks at Luna, "Luna, hows he smell?" "Obviously not good, but I don't think he's dying." She exclaims. "Then he can just stay here for now. My parents don't come home for an hour, I can lock the door." "I don't think that's a good idea, Ev. Your parents are strict and you'll get in trouble." I say giving my honest opinion. He looks at me, "it should be fine." "If you say so." "What do you think he can do?" Blake questions while tilting her head, looking at him. "You mean like us?" Everett says, "Your strong. I'm fast. All of us have one thing. So what do you think he can do?" Blake still questions. Everett moves to look at him, "We already know what he can do." Everyone looks at each other, "He can turn people into werewolves." I finish his sentence while looking at the ground.
