We all split up, trying to find the Nemeton but it seems impossible since none of us knew exactly what it looked like or where to look first. Deucalion was with Kali, the twins were with each other, leaving Scott and me to search through the woods.

After an hour of searching, we still haven't found anything that may lead us to the Nemeton. Not even a clue, until Stiles called. He told us that Deaton may have found a way for us to locate the Nemeton so we told them to meet us at the entrance of the Preserve and that's where we're going right now.

We walked over to the entrance where we saw Deaton and Stiles leaning on his jeep.

"How'd you guys find out?" Scott asked them.

"Lydia. You?" Stiles replied.

"Morrell." I answered.

Stiles looked at me. "You sure you don't know where it is? Not even a glimpse of what it looks like?"

I sighed and shook my head in reply. "My memory's been completely wiped."

Scott glanced at me before looking at them. "None of the other Alphas know where it is either."

"So if this works, are you two gonna tell them?"

Scott and I exchanged looks before he responded. "We can't stop Jennifer without them."

Deaton spoke up. "How about we concentrate on finding your parents first?"

He nodded. "What's the plan?"

"Essentially, you, Allison, and Stiles need to be surrogate sacrifices for your parents." Deaton informed us. Scott raised his eyebrows and turned to look at Stiles. "We die for them?"

"But he can bring us back." He assured him before looking at Deaton nervously. "You can... You can bring us back, right?"

 You can bring us back, right?"

He looked at him. "You remember the part where I said it was dangerous? If it goes right, the three of you will be dead for a few seconds, but there's something else you need to think about." Deaton spoke, making me look at him. "This is a dangerous thing for more reasons than one. You'll be giving power back to the Nemeton, a place that hasn't had power for a long time. This kind of power is like a magnet. It attracts the supernatural, the kind of things that a family like the Argents can fill the pages of a bestiary with. It will draw them here, like a beacon."

I glanced at them uneasily. "That sounds like a pain in the ass."

"Yeah, but it doesn't sound any worse than anything we've already seen." Stiles spoke.

Deaton turned to him. "You'd be surprised at what you have yet to see."

"Is that it?" Scott questioned.

"No," Deaton replied. "It'll also have an effect on the three of you. You won't be able to see it, but you'll feel it every day for the rest of your lives. It'll be a kind of a darkness around your heart, and permanent, like a scar.
