"Parker!" Stiles helped me stand, his hands brushing my hair back from my face. "Are you okay? Are you hurt?"
"I'm okay." I nodded, looking over at my cousin as she stood. "Are you okay, Malia?"
"I don't know!" she answered in a panicked voice.
"What the hell happened to her?" Scott asked once he saw Tracy's dead body on the floor.
"There were these people...they had masks..." Malia answered, scratching her head, "Um, there...there were...three of them. I think there were three..."
"What-what are you talking about?" Stiles asked.
"They were strong, Stiles! They had a weapon. I didn't do this! Ask Parker." Malia said.
"She's telling the truth." I said as Scott and Stiles both looked at me.
Deaton kneeled down next to the body. "Okay...she's not changing back. We're going to need to get her out of here."
Noah stepped forward quickly, holding out his hand. "What? Hey! Absolutely not! This is a crime scene—we call the coroner."
Deaton looked up at the sheriff. "I think the coroner might be very confused by this girl's severed reptilian tail..."
"I don't care—"
"You should...unless you're prepared to hold a press conference announcing the presence of supernatural creatures in Beacon Hills."
Stiles looked at his father. "Dad, he's right."
"Maybe at the clinic, we can figure out how to change her back, then call the coroner?" I suggested.
Noah sighed, rubbing his forehead. "There's a line—there is a line that we have to draw."
"Dad, you've already crossed it, more than once."
"Sheriff, please. Let me help. I've dealt with things like this before." Deaton said.
"Just do it fast." Noah said.

"How bad is it?" I asked when Melissa walked into the hall where we were all waiting on news about Lydia.
"Could have been worse." Melissa answered, turning to Theo. "Theo, nice going on that tourniquet. You probably saved her life. All right. She's about to go into surgery, so it's going to be a while. Any other supernatural details that I need to know about, or do we just stitch her up and hope for the best?"
