Chelsea's P.O.V.

I was with Stiles, Scott, and the Sheriff, in his office, talking about how the Benefactor was involved with the recent murders.

"So the Wolcott's were the first. At least the first that we know about. Four murders. Sean, his brother, and their parents. They were killed by a professional assassin called The Mute." Stiles fills his dad in.

"Weapon of choice a military tomahawk, but then the Mute was killed by Peter Hale after he tried to blow up Derek with a claymore mine." I help with details.

"Next was Demarco, he delivered a keg to the party at Lydia's lake house and he got decapitated outside his car." Stiles points at the picture of the very dead Demarco.

"And then last night twenty three year old Carrie Hudson." I say sadly.

"It's a dead pool." Scott interjects. "A hit list of supernatural creatures." 

I took out the paper from my pocket and showed the Sheriff. "This is only part of it. The rest still has to be decoded." 

Sheriff looked through the list, "Who found this list?"

"Lydia." Stiles answers.

"How?" Sheriff furrows his eyebrows confused as to how the strawberry blonde was capable of finding this.

"She wrote it. Actually, she transcribed it without realizing it." Stiles explains.

"Banshee?" Sheriff raises an eyebrow still trying to get used to the supernatural world.

"Banshee." Stiles nods.

"What are these number's next to the name and how come you're not on it Chelsea?" Sheriff points to the list.

"We are getting there." Stiles holds his hand up signaling his dad to slow down. "First, you need to know that the code was broken with a cipher key." 

"Wait a minute, like a key word?" Sheriff looks between all of us.

"It's actually a name." Stiles looks over at Scott and I.

"Allison." Scott and I say in unison.

"Her name broke a third of the list." I say sadly.

"And now we think there's two other cipher keys." Scott looks at the list with a blank expression. "And we believe Chelsea might be on either of the lists."

"Which will help give us the rest of the names." Sheriff nods understanding. "Okay, so how do we get the cipher keys?" 

"Same way we got the code." Stiles purses his lips.

"Lydia. She's been at the lake house all weekend trying to find the other two key words." Scott informs the Sheriff on Lydia's whereabouts. 

"You two didn't know about Demarco or Carrie, right?" Sheriff asks Scott and I. "Or what about these other two names on the list? Kayleen Bettcher and Elias Town. Are they werewolves too?" 

"We don't know, but Deaton said that the Nemeton would draw supernatural creatures here." 

"Here being Beacon Hills? Or Beacon County?" Sheriff squints. "Population of Beacon Hills is just under thirty thousand" 

"And dropping." Stiles adds bluntly.

I shook my head at Stiles, "Not helping."

"But if we're talking Beacon County, then you're looking at close to five hundred thousand." Sheriff sits down on his chair stressed out with the whole situation. "How many werewolves, banshee's, kitsune's, whatever the hell else is out there are we talking about? And what happens if the next cipher key uncovers not twelve names but a hundred."
