Lydia, Scott, and Parrish went over to the loft to see if Derek or Hazel knew what Parrish was.

"He covered you in gasoline" Derek asked. "It's the hair and nails, isn't it the parts of body that are essentially dead" Lydia asked as Derek stopped examining Parrish. "Well, they should be gone" Derek said.

"I was set on fire all of me should be gone" Parrish said. "Sure, if you're human" Hazel said.

"Not if you're like us" Scott said. "Like you" Parrish asked. "I don't think he's like us" Derek said.

"Then what is he" Lydia asked. "Sorry but I have no idea" Derek said. "This is a little new to us" Hazel said.

"But you knew about Jackson and Kira" Scott said.  "That's different" Hazel said.

"This is a little out of our experience there might be something in the bestiary" Derek said. "Did you try Argent" Derek asked.

"I don't know where he is" Scott said. "Okay hold on what's a bestiary actually that's not even my first question just, just tell me one thing are all of you like Lydia are you all psychic" Parrish asked.

"Psychic" Derek asked. "That's what you think Lydia is a physic" Hazel asked.

Yeah, not exactly" Scott said to Parrish. "Okay then what are you" Parrish asked and Scott looked at Derek and Hazel and Derek gave him a nod.

"What you need my approval or something you're not a baby just have your moment" Hazel said. Scott closed his eyes then opened them glowing their alpha color.

"What's, a Kanima" Parrish asked. "We'll get back to that just know that everyone like us, everyone with some kind of supernatural ability is on the dead pool" Scott said.

"And wants to hunt us for money because they have no life pathetic if you ask me" Hazel said.

"But I don't even know what I am" Parrish said. "I'm pretty sure they don't care" Derek said.

"How many professional assassins are we talking about" Parrish asked. "We're starting to lose count" Lydia said. "But is it still just professionals" Scott asked.

"I don't think Haigh's ever tried anything like this I think he was taking a chance" Parrish said.

"That means anyone with the dead pool could take a chance" Derek said.

"Well knowing this town this won't be the last time we'll be in danger it's Beacon Hills there's always danger somewhere" Hazel said.

"But if Haigh had it then who else does how easy is it to get this thing now" Parrish asked. "If we knew we wouldn't be running for our lives" Hazel said.

"Meredith was only at my grandmother's lake house once but I think once was enough" Lydia said.

"How did your grandmother know her" Derek asked. "She didn't, she found her because of another woman named Maddy the woman she loved" Lydia told him.

"I never met her, but I saw her name everywhere she used to be part of a yacht racing team there were plaques and trophies it's in the lake house from all the regattas she'd won" Lydia said.

"How did she die" Parrish asked. "How's not the story it's what happened right before my grandmother Lorraine used to work in San Francisco for IBM she was there on a weekend catching up on work she started hearing this sound like rain but when she looked out the windows all she saw was blue sky" Lydia said.

"But she kept hearing the rain" Scott asked. "And it just kept getting louder rain and thunder cracking like gunshots in her head so loud she finally just screamed" Lydia said.
