Metanoia ➳ Liam Dunbar

Perishable

Naomi met up with Stiles and Lydia at the police station. Lydia went to the lake house, trying to get in touch with Meredith. That's where she found out from a picture that Meredith had been there before.

She ran into her mom when she found out that Julia knew of Meredith herself. She explained how she knew her. She also gave Lydia some of her grandmother's stuff. One of them included a piece of paper with a code on it. Just like the Deadpool. It gets even more confusing when Lydia found out that her grandmother's ashes weren't actually ashes but mountain ash. Lydia thinks that there's a chance that their grandmother isn't dead.

"It's not just that she could still be alive." Stiles said. 

"It's that she would've had to fake her death." Lydia added.

The Sheriff looked at Lydia and Naomi. "Your grandmother, Lorraine Martin, faked her death?"

"Definitely."

"Maybe." Naomi corrected.

Stiles glared at her. "More than likely, yes."

"Oh, I'm guessing you got a story to back this up?" The Sheriff asked.

"She might be helping The Benefactor." Lydia explained.

"Or is The Benefactor." Stiles added.

The Sheriff nodded at them. "That sounds like a story worth hearing."

Naomi hears struggling and yelling causing her to look outside. The Sheriff opened the door right as a gun went off, shooting him in the shoulder. Naomi crouches beside Lydia as the two watch as a burned looking Parrish continually punches another deputy.

"What was that about?"

Lydia and Naomi brought Parrish to Derek's loft. Scott met them there.  They were hoping that he knew what Parrish was. Because last night, one of the deputies tries to set him on fire. They actually did, but somehow he survived.

"He covered you in gasoline?" Derek asked. 

"It's the hair and nails, isn't it? The parts of the body that are essentially dead." Lydia spoke up.

"Well, they should be gone." Derek responded.

"I was set on fire. All of me should be gone." Parrish said

"Not if you're like us." Scott told him. 

"Like you?" Parrish asked.

"I don't think he's like us." Derek responded.

"Then what is he?" Naomi asked.

"Sorry, but I have no idea." He answered.

"But you knew about Jackson and Kira." Scott spoke up. Derek looked at him.

"This is a little out of my experience. There might be something in the bestiary. Did you try Argent?"

"I don't know where he is." Scott answered.

"Okay, hold on. What's a bestiary?" Parrish said, majorly confused about everything. "Actually, that's not even my first question. Just... Just tell me one thing. Are all of you like Lydia? Are you all psychic?"

"Psychic?" Derek asked.

"Yeah. Not exactly." Scott answered. 

"Okay. Then what are you?"

"What's a Kanima?" Was the first question he asked after Scott had explained it to him.
