^^Abigail's outfit^^
Third person
Stiles and Donovan are fighting. Stiles is struggling to reach the wrench on the Jeep. Stiles manages to headbutt Donovan, knocking him loose. He grabs the wrench and beats him across the face with it. Stiles runs into the school with Donovan close on his heels. He decides against running up to the second floor and heads back outside again. Donovan turns to look for him, and a second maw opens on the side of his neck. Stiles crosses the campus to the library and has to use his keycard to get in. The library is under construction. Stiles hides among the stacks. Donovan comes in and finds Stiles's phone on the floor. It's buzzing.
"You dropped your phone. It's Malia. Should I text her back?" he asks, and pockets the phone.
"You don't really know who I am, do you Stiles?" He asks him if he's heard about his father who used to be Sheriff Stilinkski's partner. A bullet shattered Donovan's father's T9 vertebra.
"You know what that means? It means everything below his waist is useless. And not just his legs." Donovan suggests that the Sheriff told Stiles some of it but he didn't say that he was sitting in the car calling for backup while Donovan's dad went in alone. Stiles gets angrier as he listens, but he stays quiet.
"Did he tell you that he was too scared? Too much of a frightened little bitch to go in after him? Or do scared little bitches not tell their little bitch sons about their failures?" Stiles watches Donovan walk up the stairs to the upper floor, then he waits, listening for footsteps that suddenly stop falling. Donovan attacks through a bookcase, pulling Stiles back through it. Stiles drops the wrench, and Donovan throws him up against the scaffolding. Stiles elbows Donovan in the face, knocking him down, and then scurries up the scaffold. Donovan grabs hold of him.
"Don't worry Stiles, I'm not going to kill you. I'm just going to eat your legs," he says, and his eyes glow white. Stilkes sees a pin in the scaffolding above him and struggles until he can reach it. He pulls the pin and pipes and construction materials fall. When the sound settles, Stiles looks down to see Donovan impaled on a pole. Donovan is still alive, though. Stiles puts his hands on the pole as if he's going to pull it out, but Donovan growls at him, and Stiles stops and watches him die. Silver fluid pours out into Donovan's wounds. From the library phone, Stiles dials 911, but he can't bring himself to say anything. The police will send a unit to investigate a 911 call either way, which is what he wants. Stiles starts to run away, but when he opens the door, he realizes that the cops will need a way to get in. He uses a book to prop the door, then hears his phone ring in Donovan's pocket. He carefully picks it from his pocket and then runs. Stiles fixes his Jeep but he doesn't pull out of hte parking lot. Instead he breathes like he's having a panic attack, until he hears the approaching sirens. Then he moves the Jeep slightly further away so he can watch. An officer heads into the library, and Stiles is overwrought with worry and anxiety. It's clear he has no idea how to feel. He turns on his police scanner.
"Dispatch, I'm 1097, and there's no one here. It's a 653." "Roger that. Prank call." Stiles can't believe what he's hearing. After the officer leaves, he goes back into the library. Donovan and the drop cloth that was on the floor under him are gone.

Scott's pov.
I wake up, hearing kira mumble in her sleep, and then I get a message on my phone that the alarm in Animal Clinic has been tripped.
"What's wrong?" Kira asked waking up.
"It's the alarm at the Animal Clinic. I think it's a break-in." I said. I get up and go to the clinic, I notice Lucas's body is gone.

Abigail's pov
Malia shows Lydia and I The Dread Doctors book she found. Looking at the cover I zoned out.
"What?" Malia asked seeing my face.
"I don't know. There's something about it. Has anyone actually read it yet?" I said still looking at the cover
"Just me. And I didn't understand any of it." Malia said
"We should probably all read it." Lydia said causing me to look up from the cover.
"Kira's working on that." Malia said
"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 terror, commanded by an ancient order of parascientists known only as the Dread Doctors." Sounds vaguely familiar. How does it end?" Lydia asked after reading the back of the book.
"It doesn't. 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." I said
"Then maybe the real question is... Is this a novel or someone's prediction?" Lydia said.
"You think a banshee wrote it?" I asked.
"I mean it's possible" Lydia said.
"Are you okay?" Malia asked me
"Yeah I just have a bit of a headache. I'm going to find liam" I said.
