Theo groaned, gripping his head he slowly sat up. Where am I? He squinted his eyes confused, slowly looking around at his surroundings before realising he was at beacon hills hospital.

Why the fuck am I here?

Feeling a slight movement besides him he jolted, fuck. In his daze Theo completely forgot he dragged Scott's precious little beta down with him. Wait with me... how is the hospital down here? Why is it down here?

"Get up-" Theo snapped kicking the beta, Liam jolted and immediately sat up right. "Get up!" Theo said through gritted teeth.

"What did you do!" Liam roared, immediately lunging for Theo's throat.

"You need me alive!" Theo yelled gripping at Liam's hand.

"Says who?!" Liam snapped tightening his grip. He heard Theo gasp, but that didn't stop him. "I'm going to kill you," Liam hissed, his fingers dying to pry open Theo's throat. After everything the chimera did it was only fitting that Liam be the one to ultimately take him out.

Sensing Liam was in a fit of rage Theo let out a small breath as best he could. "Do it-" he said with a husky voice.

Liam frowned "what?" he snapped.

"Do it, kill me Liam. Make Scott proud," Theo taunted making Liam freeze up.

Scott...

Liam released his grip of Theo's neck, "you! This is all your fault!" Liam yelled.

Theo rubbed his neck before standing up "get over it," Theo said brushing himself off.

"Get over it?! You got us into this mess you prick!" Liam snapped.

"Yes, and your alpha will get us out of it," Theo said with a smirk.

"That's why you grabbed me isn't it? You knew nobody would save your pathetic ass so you dragged me down with you," Liam said crossing his arms.

"Wow, Liam finally gets one thing right. Congratulations," Theo said. I'm going to kill you. Liam bit his tongue to not say anything else that would draw any further attention to them. That was when Liam looked around.

"Why the fuck are we in the hospital?" Liam frowned.

"Beats me, I was thinking the exact same thing," Theo said. Liam took a few cautious steps forward, looking around he realised the hospital was abandoned.

"This can't be the real hospital," Liam said softly.

"Obviously," Theo said rolling his eyes.

"Do you want me to kill you?" Liam hissed.

"I don't think it'll make much difference but sure, little wolf. Kill me," Theo smirked. Before Liam could even react a soft voice began to talk.

"Theo.." the voice called out. It was soft and feminine. Theo's head whipped around before his widened eyes met Liam's.

"Did you hear that?" Theo asked in a hasty tone. Taking several steps back until he felt his back hit a table.

Liam looked around feeling the hairs on his body stick up and his throat close. Unable to speak he nodded, slowly stepping backwards until he found himself standing besides Theo. Although that wasn't exactly ideal, right now he'd rather be besides Theo then against him.

"Theo..." the voice said in a sing song tone, Theo's eyes widened upon seeing his sister. More importantly the way she began to crawl towards him.

"Theo," Liam said quickly. Theo felt himself freeze up, he shook his head unable to move anything else.

"Theo!" Liam yelled, when he didn't get a reaction Liam made the decision to grab the chimeras hand. Running to the back of the hospital with Theo besides him. "What was that!" Liam yelled.

"Tara.." Theo said avoiding eye contact with him.

"Why the fuck is your sister here!" Liam yelled, although he had yelled Theo wasn't sure he had heard him over the beating of his own heart... Tara's heart.

"I don't know," Theo snapped back, picking up the pace and running ahead of Liam.

"Theo..." Tara sang, now on her feet as she began to walk behind them. "Theo, you can't run," she taunted. Theo's heart beat rang in his head like a drum. All he could do was run, run far and fun fast. They found themselves at the hospital exit, Theo hitting the doors first.

Desperately trying to pry the door open. "It won't open!" Theo shouted, Liam's eyes widened as the pair began to slam their body's against it.

"Fuck!" Liam yelled shoving himself as hard as he could. He caught a quick glance of Tara stalking closer "Theo-" Liam said smacking his arm before pointing in Tara's direction. Theo gulped, looking at her up and down. Taking note of her white ripped and torn dress... but nothing had prepared him for the sight of her open chest.

Her rib cage ripped open and the spot where her heart once was, now open and bloody. "Theo," she said in a soft voice, the same voice that would once read him before time stories. It was now the same voice that was sure to break him.

Liam backed up against the door best he could as Tara approached them. "We can fight her," Liam stated.

Theo flashed him a look "we'll die," he snarled.

"We're going to die anyways," Liam replied. Giving Theo a nod Liam charged for her. Tara didn't even need to fight back.

It was as if an invisible barrier was protecting her from harm. "Theo," she said. Liam found himself on the ground watching as Tara approached Theo.

Liam had never seen him so terrified, "Tara wait!" Theo yelled holding his hands up defensively.

Tara didn't wait, In fact she did quite the opposite. Using her hand she plunged it deep into Theo's chest, not blinking when he gasped. His screams filled the air and she did nothing to indicate remorse. "Theo!" Liam yelled getting back to his feet.

Yes he wanted the chimera dead, but not like this. Not by her hands. Not right now. Tara's head whipped around, Theo's heart now in her hands as she approached Liam. "Tara wait! Stop!" Liam protested, stumbling backwards.

It was as if this wasn't really Theo's sister, but a copy of her. There was no reasoning with her, no conversation and no negotiation. This was it. This was Theo's own personal hell and Liam was just here for the ride. Right?

Standing face to face with Liam a small smile rose on her face which only sent shivers down Liam's spine. "Please," Liam found himself pleading, although it was no use. She dropped Theo's heart and using the same hand she did to Theo...

Plunged it deep inside of Liam, the beta gasped and tears welled in his eyes. Unable to speak his mouth gaped open as she pulled back. The last thing Liam saw was Tara standing above him, his heart now in her hand...
