"Scott" Stiles said over the phone. "Stiles someone's taking the bodies" Scott said and there was a moment of silence. "Stiles you there" Scott asked.

"Yeah, um where, what are you talking about" Stiles asked.

"I'm at the animal clinic with Kira, Bradley, and Melanie, Tracy's body is gone the lock on the door was broken from the outside and my mom just told me Lucas's body went missing from the morgue they've been searching the whole hospital for it someone's stealing the bodies" Scott said.

"The dread doctors by T.R Mccammon" Lydia said looking at the book. "Dread doctors what's next fairies" Bradley asked.

Melanie and Malia noticed Lydia's facial expression.

"What" Malia said. "I don't know there's something about it" Lydia said. "Has anyone actually read it yet" Lydia asked.

"Just me and I didn't understand any of it" Malia said. "We should probably all read it" Lydia said.

"Kira's working on that" Melanie said and they reached Malia's locker.

"Anything else we should know about the mystery dread doctors" Bradley asked. "Stiles says he can't find anything on the author he thinks it's a pen name" Malia said.

"In a small, New England town teenagers are taken in the night and buried alive days later they emerge transformed, wreaking havoc and spreading a terror commanded by an ancient order of parascientists known only as the dread doctors sounds vaguely familiar" Lydia said.

"How does it end" Lydia asked. "It doesn't" Malia said. "What do you mean it doesn't" Melanie asked.

"This is supposed to be volume one" Malia said. "Oh, let me guess there is no volume two" Lydia said. "I think we're living volume two" Malia said.

"Then maybe the real question is, is this a novel or someone's prediction" Lydia asked.

Malia and Melanie turned to Lydia who was reading the book in class, and they heard her heart beating fast. "Why is your heart beating so fast" Malia asked. 

"Are you okay Lydia" Melanie asked her concerned.

"Look at this, look at the acknowledgments page" Lydia said showing them. "For providing scientific perspective and invaluable insight" Malia said.

"This book is dedicated to Dr Gabriel Valack" Melanie said finishing for Malia.

"Promise me you'll be safe you're my sister I don't want to lose you" Malia told Melanie.

"Hey, I'll be fine I promise" Melanie said. "You better be" Malia said and Melanie smiled.

"I love you too sis" Melanie said. "See you soon" she added and left.

Lydia pushed the button on the intercom as they were all trying to get inside. "Hello anyone there" Lydia asked. "Are you going to be okay in there" Scott asked Stiles.

"Yeah" Stiles told Scott. "Why" Stiles asked. "You just seem a little off" Bradley said. "I think we're all a little off maybe some of us more than others" Stiles said.

"Wait what happened" Stiles asked seeing the look on Scott's face.

"When the other chimera Lucas when he came after us Kira said something in Japanese" Scott said.

"That doesn't sound too bad" Stiles said. "Except she doesn't know any Japanese" Melanie said. "Still not terrible" Stiles said.

"I stopped her from killing Lucas that's pretty bad" Scott said. "Okay wasn't he trying to kill you though" Bradley asked Scott. "I mean that just sounds like self-defense" Stiles said.
