The Lost Sister (D.H)

1.18 It's Erica

At school. Music room.

Derek and i were looking at Allison and Lydia's wrist. There were bruises on them. Apparently some girl had shown up and bruised them. 

Derek " I don't see anything."

I shook my head "nothing but a bruise"

Scott  "Look again."

Derek looked at him " How is a bruise gonna tell me where Boyd and Erica are?"

Scott " It's the same on both sides. Exactly the same."

Derek shook his head "It's nothing."

Lydia "Pareidolia. Seeing patterns that aren't there. It's a subset of apophenia."

Derek shot her a look and then looked back to Scott. 

Scott " They're trying to help."

Derek scoffed amused and then pointed at Lydia " These two. This one, who used me to resurrect my psychotic Uncle. Thank you."

He pointed at Allison " And this one, who shot about 30 arrows into me and my pack."

Stiles "Okay, all right, now, come on. No one died, all right? Look, there may have been a little maiming, okay, a little mangling, but no death. That's what I call an important distinction."

We shot him a look. 

Allison "My mother died."

I looked down. Yeah, right, the night at the rave, Victoria was trying to kill Scott. Derek bit her and she killed herself. 

Derek "Your family's little honor code killed your mother. Not me."

Allison " That girl was looking for Scott. I'm here to help him, not you."

Derek " You wanna help? Find something real."

he walked to the door. Scot and i followed him.

Me "D. wait"

Scott " Derek... Give her a chance. Okay, they're on our side now."

Derek looked at him "Well then maybe you should tell her what her mother was actually trying to do that night."

He looked at me and then left.

At the animal clinic.

Derek and Scott were filling a metal tube with ice cubes.

We were going to set Isaac in trance.

Deaton walked in with Isaac " Obviously, it's not going to be particularly... Comfortable. But if we can slow your heart rate down enough, you'll slip into a trance-like state."

Isaac "Like being hypnotized."

Deaton "Exactly. You'll be half transformed. It'll let us access your subconscious mind."

Scott " How slow does his heart rate need to be?"

Deaton " Very slow."

Derek " Okay, well, how slow is very slow?"

Deaton " Nearly dead."

Isaac kneeled down to the tube and put his hand in the water. He hissed at the coldness.

Isaac " It's safe, though, right?"

Deaton "Do you want me to answer honestly?"

Isaac " No. No, not really."

Suddenly we heard a noise and looked at Stiles. He ha put on one of the sleeve rubber gloves.

We looked at him annoyed.
