Evelyn startled awake. "Evelyn Evelyn, look at me," Melissa said as she looked around, panicked. "You were shot, but you're in the hospital now. You're fine." 

"Scott," Evelyn croaked, realizing where the panic was coming from. "He's in trouble," she said. 

Melissa nodded. "The CDC put the school on quarantine." She said, "Scott, Stiles, Malia, and Kira were inside." 

"What?" Evelyn panicked, trying to get up. 

"Evelyn, don't," Derek said, gently pushing her down. 

"The virus," Evelyn said, struggling. "Someone must have released it."

 "What virus?" Derek asked. 

"What happened to the pack in the woods?" Melissa asked. 

"I told you they were poisoned," Derek said. 

"No," Evelyn told them, "it was a virus designed to kill werewolves. Didn't Braeden tell you this?"

 "Evelyn, I haven't seen Braeden in weeks," Derek said. 

"Dammit," Evelyn muttered, trying to get up again. 

"Evelyn, what happened," Melissa asked. 

"I don't know the whole story. When I got there, most of them were already dead. Satomi and a few others got away."

 "And Braeden was with you," Derek asked. 

"Yeah, it was her idea to go. She thought they might have information on Kate. You need to find Satomi," she told Melissa. Melissa looked down at her phone as it buzzed. 

"It's Deaton. He needs help." Evelyn nodded. Melissa turned, running out of the room.

"We need to help," Evelyn said. 

"No," Derek said, "you need to stay right here." 

"Derek, they could die," she said, sitting up. Derek opened his mouth to respond but closed it when there was a knock at the door. Melissa opened it. 

"Derek, she said I think there's someone here you've been trying to find." Satomi came around the corner, stepping into the room. 

"Satomi," Derek said, surprised. 

Satomi looked over at Evelyn. "Shadow, I see you made it out. What happened to the woman you were with?"

 "She left to look for more clues," Evelyn said, covering for Braeden. Satomi nodded. 

"We need Derek's help," Melissa said. 

"You're staying here," Derek said as Evelyn opened her mouth. 

"While we're working on this," Melissa said, "there's someone here who would like to see you." 

"Mommy," Lexie said, bouncing into the room. "Melissa said you were sick, and I should come cheer you up." 

"Well, you just being here cheers me up," Evelyn said as Derek lifted Lexie up, gently setting her on the bed. 

"Stay here," he whispered, "please." Evelyn nodded. 

"Derek," she called as he reached the door. 

"Yeah," he asked, turning around. 

"I—be careful," she said. Derek nodded as if he knew the thousand words she wanted to say but didn't have the courage to.

Evelyn tensed, panic building up inside of her. She knew Stiles was in danger. Suddenly, it was gone. Stiles was safe, but the others, she could tell, were close to dying. "Scott," she whispered, clutching Lexie tightly. 

"Mom, it's going to be OK," Lexie said, Hugging Evelyn tightly. They're all going to be OK." 

And she was right because seconds later, Evelyn felt they were "safe," she whispered.
