"I COULDN'T LIVE WITH THAT."

"What are we doing here?"

"What are we doing here?"

Allison and Lily were being led into the morgue by Chris. He stared back at her and motioned for someone to open the door. He stayed silent as the three entered the room. Lily didn't move through the door. She stayed right outside of the room. Chris huffed and rose an eyebrow at her actions.

"I'm not stepping into that room until you tell me why the hell we are here." She announced. "I came willingly. I didn't have to. So either tell me why I'm here, or I will willingly leave."

Chris grinned at his daughter. She was most defiantly an Argent, but he could also see her mother in her. Lily was resilient. She wouldn't give up easy. When the girl found something or someone she cared about, she wouldn't give up on them.

Argent pointed to the body on the metal slab. His eyes landed on the name tab. He brushed his fingers past it as he walked by. "This one, Sean. He was killed by this thing Gerard says is a kind of shapeshifter." He explained. Lily followed him around the room with her eyes as she stayed just outside of the room. "It hasn't been around for centuries."

"The thing you shot outside the club the other night." Allison voiced. Her arms were crossed over her chest as the coldness in the room took over as the door shut with Lily finally entering. She kept her distance from the older man and remained near Allison. Her eyes would flicker from the young adult's body to Chris.

"South American Legend we know of calls it the Kanima."

Allison nodded, keeping the façade that this was all news to her. Lily didn't attempt to hide the fact she knew it because she doubted Chris would believe that. She hadn't stayed away Scott despite what he threatened to do. She had joined Derek's pack even though the Argents hated him. She wasn't going to start lying now to please him because she didn't gave a damn what he thought.

"This one, Jessica." Chris stated, pointing to the other body laid next to Sean on a metal slab. "She was smothered to death after giving birth. The police think it was done by someone else. We think it's whoever is controlling this other shapeshifter. That means two killers. One human, one not."

Lily let her eyes drop for a second, but quickly lifted them back up to meet Chris'. Allison, on the other hand, couldn't even look her father in the face. Lily nudged Allison discreetly. The brunette shifted her weight and changed the look on her face.

"The question I had after Gerard first told me about our family was "why us?" He quoted Winston Churchill, "the price of greatness is responsibility." Personally, I think it's more about knowledge."
