There had been so many more bodies found.
The beast was killing them, and we didn't know how to stop it.
Dad was in the hospital, watching the bodies being wheeled away.
Scott, Stiles and I got out of the elevator, walking toward Dad, watching the bodies.
"Who found them?" Stiles asked.
"Argent," Dad answered. "And he said that the doctors were down there. He also said you guys might know what this thing is."
"We've got a theory," Scott told him.
"It's a slightly terrifying theory," I told him.
"Well, the ME said that victims were killed somewhere else and then dumped in those tunnels," Dad told us.
"Hey, what if the dread doctors are hiding the bodies?" Scott asked.
"Why would they do that?" I asked.
"Maybe they're covering for it," Stiles answered. "Protecting it like a parent would."
"Protecting what?" Dad asked.
"A werewolf," Scott answered.
"It's called the beast," I told him.
"We know," Stiles told him. "Horrifying."
"We better figure out what we're gonna call Parrish," Dad told us. "Because it looks like his dream is coming true."

The next day, we were at school.
I was walking through the hallway.
The PA came on. "By the order of the Sheriff, a country-wide curfew goes into effect tonight at sundown. All after-school activities are cancelled until further notice. Students should go directly home at the end of the school day."
Deputies were walking through the hall with shotguns.
People in the hallway watched them walk away.
I found Stiles in the hallway with a deputy named Strauss, walking toward them.
"You know, I think this is a bit much in terms of fire power for a high school," Stiles told him.
"Your dad's the one who issued us these things, and he wouldn't officially say why," Strauss told us.
"Did he say anything unofficially?" I asked.
"No," Strauss answered. "But everyone's got a theory."
"What's yours?" Stiles asked.
"I shouldn't be talking to you guys," Strauss told us. "Don't you have class?"
"Come on, Strauss," I told him. "What's your theory?"
"Do you guys believe in the supernatural?" Strauss asked.
Stiles and I exchanged a seriously? look.
Stiles used to be possessed by a homicidal fox.
I was used as an anchor to bring Scott, Stiles and Allison back from the dead, forging a bond between us that made me feel everything that they felt, and see all the hallucinations they had endured when the doors in our minds were open, including going through some hallucinations of my own, before Kate Argent killed me and Braeden brought be back from the dead, severing the bond.
Stiles's ex-girlfriend was a werecoyote. His old crush was a banshee. Our best friend was a true alpha werewolf, and our other friend was a beta werewolf with anger issues, and my ex-boyfriend died, came back to life and could literally turn himself into a full-blown wolf.
Did we believe in the supernatural?

Scott and Liam had gone to the tunnels to find out more about the doctors and what was going to happen. They found Chris and Gerard Argent looking at a painting on the wall, depicting a hellhound and the beast in a fight standing over a pile of bodies. Chris and Gerard then went ahead to talk to Parrish, the hellhound himself.
Malia and Braeden had found out that the desert wolf had kidnapped Deaton. Theo led them into a trap so that he could take Belasko's claws from Corrine (Malia's mother), and so she could try and kill Malia. But Malia was able to fight back against her with Braeden's help.
Stiles had gone to pay a visit to Lydia, finding out that they had saved a spot onto her head. So they could drill a hole into her head.
The beast had nearly killed Deaton. Malia had to let Corinne go so that she could save him.
We were pretty sure that the chimeras had already found Deucalion.
We still didn't know why they wanted him.
Stiles, Malia, Deaton and I were in the back of the clinic.
I was patching up Deaton's wounds.
Scott and Liam walked in.
We all looked at them.
Malia nodded to them.
Stiles smiled a small smile at the fact that we were almost complete again.
Scott saw Deaton, smiling, walking closer. Deaton and Scott hugged.
I smiled a small smile.

Scott, Stiles, Kira, Malia, Liam and I were meeting in Scott's house, standing around the table, looking at a map of Eichen House on the table in front of us. We all looked at each other, glad to be back together, smiling small smiles, nodding.
Liam put an Eichen Security Log on the table in front of us.
I nodded, looking over all of them. "Now we get Lydia."
