"Derek... I saw Boyd try to rip two little kids apart. Are they gonna do that to everyone they find?" I asked

"Everyone and anyone."

"I actually had fun tonight" I said to Aiden still sitting on the Nemeton.

"Don't sound so surprised, I'm fun" Aiden smirked.

"Hey, don't get cocky now. You're still on probation."

"I just showed you my spot" Aiden complained.

"You're gonna have to try harder than that"

"Girls don't normally make me work this hard"

"You should probably get used to it if you're going to be anywhere near me."

"You're different Maisy"

"Is that a good thing?" I asked looking at him.

"Definitely" he said leaning in before the sound of a feral growl freaked me out.

"What was that?" I asked looking around.

"Probably a mountain lion, we should head back its getting late." Aiden said cautiously eyeing around us as he grabbed my arm and gently pulled me up.

"That didn't sound like a mountain lion" I argued.

"Let's just get out of the woods, okay?"

"Fine by me" I said as we started walking.

"Oh, God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God, please don't be dead. Please don't be dead, please don't be dead, please don't be dead. Please don't be dead. Please don't be dead, please don't be dead. Oh, my God. Are you kidding me?" I said seeing the dead body at the pool.

"Are you sure?" I asked stiles over the phone

"Yep. Throat ripped out, blood everywhere. It's like the frickin' shining over here. Two little twin girls come out of the woods, start asking me to play with them forever and ever, I'm not gonna be surprised."

"This doesn't make any sense. The public pool is all the way on the other side of the woods. We haven't tracked them anywhere near there." Derek said.

"Are you sure? I can walk you"

"It's fine Aiden I can walk to the school by myself"

"I don't see why you can't just.. You know... Not"

"I told miss Blake I'd help her get the stuff set up. I'm already late"

"Okay. I'll see you at school tomorrow?"

"Yeah, goodnight Aiden"

"Goodnight Maisy"

"They're not gonna kill everything they see, are they?" Isaac asked

"No. But there is an important difference to recognize. Wolves hunt for food. At a certain point, they get full. But Boyd and Cora are hunting for the pleasure of the kill, for some primal apex predatory satisfaction that comes from the ripping of warm bodies to bloody shreds. And who knows when that need gets satiated?" Chris said.

"We can't kill them." I stated.

"What if we can't catch 'em?" Derek asked

"Then maybe we just need to contain them. There's no one in the school at night, is there?" Chris asked.

"You want to trap them inside?" Derek concluded.

"If there's somewhere with a strong enough door, no windows or access to the outside."
