EICHEN HOUSE; 30 MINUTES LATER
Stiles Stilinski

I park the car in front of Eichen, and I quickly jump out as Liam and Lydia follow from behind. I run towards the entrance of Eichen to find the building on fire from the inside and the loud sound of the alarms going off. What the hell happened.

I run inside seeing puddles of blood everywhere and bodies laid out on the floor. I see no sign of a wolf attack or any other evidence of that a creature would do it. It all just seems like someone just dropped them.

"He was here." Lydia enters through the front door almost fainting, and Liam grabs on to her before she completely falls. Lydia catches her balance thanks to Liam, and I get up knowing who she is exactly talking about. She turns around, facing the outside of the entrance looking out into the street. "Derek was here too."

"Can you tell where they went?" I ask and Lydia closes her eyes focusing hard and I can tell she's using all her power to do so. She struggles to find out and then opens her eyes quickly.

"They're heading to Lyn. We need to go now."

LYN'S HOUSE
Cy

I walk through the halls seeing the frozen teenagers holding alcoholic drinks in their hands in red plastic cups. I take a cup of vodka from one of their hands and chug it all down, throwing the empty cup to the floor as I walk outside sensing myself getting closer and closer to my brother.

"Hi Brother." I surprise him as I spot standing on the edge of a pool smelling the skin of his teenage victims. "Quite the unexpected reunion here?" I look around the house disappointed by his awful taste in furniture as Derek follows me from behind.

"Cy." He says shocked no expecting me to come here all alone. I chuckle and look at all the teenagers around us, sniffing out all the bad ones to prey on. "You know, I had a lot of time in the ocean... to think... and rot." I flick out my index finger, tracing my nail on one of the teenage boy's necks and then turn towards Lyn to see him thriving. "And I wondered... what happened to my dear poor Lyn. When you killed everyone, when was it? The 1700s?"

I hear the minds of Stiles, Liam and Lydia approach us and they stand back watching me and Lyn argue. "We had different agendas, you know that. The humans were never our friends. I blended in for centuries, destroying them from within."

"Blended in you did." I look at the image he's made himself and I am embarrassed by his effort to blend in. "I don't know what's more disappointing, that my own brother turned me into a cannibal or that he's hiding out as a damn high school swim team captain."

"I messed up, and I'll admit that. But this time we can make things right!" Lyn begins to walk towards me standing in front of me and I'm not armed with a blade to stab it through him like I desire to. "We can work together with Peter and Derek to take our revenge on the humans!"

"You want revenge for something you caused out of envy?" I deny his offer, seeing him for what he really is, a maniac.

"If you're not with me, then you're against me brother." Lyn says and quickly takes his blade out going to stab me. I quickly counter his attack by grabbing on to his hand and kicking him to the ground. Lyn falls to the ground and I grab on to his blade, but he quickly raises his hands commanding all the teens to do his bidding.

The teens all jump into the pool, and do no effort to swim out. I quickly look back down at the floor to see Lyn gone and Liam, Lydia, and Stiles race into the water attempting to rescue them all.

I focus hard on all their minds, trying to grab them all at once and use the rest of my energy to manipulate the water out of the pool. I command all the teens to stay relaxed, and I begin to manipulate the water, raising it out of the pool and their lungs. The teens become able to breathe normally, and Stiles, Lydia and Liam rescue them all as I struggle to keep control on the heavy amount of water in the air and control of the remaining teens.

Stiles and the pack stare at me, amazed by my true power. I grow weaker not being able to keep focus on the floating water, and I get nauseous and dizzy. Stiles and his friends save the teens in time and I drop all the water into the floor and attempt to stand my ground feeling weak. I look around trying to find Derek's conscious to control him to help me but I can't reach to him.

"Where's Derek?" Stiles shouts as he looks around almost reading my mind. I look around for Derek and realize that this was all part of Lyn's plan. Stiles walks towards me and I decide that he's an ally.

"Lyn took him." I respond and get nervous as I should've been smarter. Lyn will take the only thing left that I care about in this world. "I should've known!" I feel stupid and walk away not knowing what to do now, or even where to find them.

"We'll find him! Together!" Stiles says offering his help to me and if I wanted their help, I would manipulate them for it. I feel a sharp pain in my torso and see blood coming through my shirt. "You're hurt, let me take care of you." Stiles tries to touch the wound and I slap his hands away from me.

"-I'm immortal!" I snap at him knowing I'll be fine. I look at Stiles trying to control him but I have nothing, I'm out of charge. Stiles looks at me knowing what's happening. "Fine!" I shout frustratedly and roll my eyes.

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend right?" Stiles jokes with me and I sigh becoming frustrated.

"What about everyone else?" Liam asks and I know Lyn will make them forget this ever happened. Lyn isn't stupid enough to get this much attention from the humans.

"They'll be fine." I reassure them, and we all leave together.
