ALEX, LYDIA, SCOTT, and Isaac sat in the Sheriff's station, all three of them glancing at the ground as they were still trying to process Allison's death.
Scott's hand was tightly gripping onto Alex's, mostly for comfort and reassurance, Alex gripping his hand too.
"Can you remember anything else?" Parrish questioned, however, none of the teens responded. "Anything else? Isaac?"
"I'm sorry." Isaac whispered. "It just happened so fast."

"Stiles and Kira said it was the Nemeton that kept it trapped." Scott started as he glanced at Deaton, Alex crossing her arms.
"The problem is this isn't even a person you're fighting." Deaton responded. "It just looks like one. It's a spirit that's taken the shape of a human."
"The shape of our best friend." Alex scoffed, gesturing to herself and Scott.
"Someone caught it once." Lydia added. "Someone can do it again, right?"
"I don't know." Deaton replied truthfully. "This thing was trapped a long time ago, before the Nemeton was cut down, it doesn't have the same power anymore."
"Is there anything that does?" Scott asked.
"Possibly." Deaton replied.
"Possibly or yes?" Alex raised her eyebrows. "Because if so, we definitely need to use it."
"When the tree was whole, its wood was sometimes used to contain powerful objects. But those objects are very rare." Deaton explained.
"Wait a second." Lydia stopped him. "Powerful objects? Like an Alpha's claws?"
"Which Alpha?" Deaton frowned.
"Talia Hale." Lydia responded, Alex frowning in question. "Peter had them in this wooden box with a triskele carved on the lid. What if it was made from the Nemeton?"
"It was." Deaton answered with a sigh.
"How do you know?" Alex frowned.
"Because I made it." Deaton replied, glancing at Alex.

"Derek's got the triskele box. He's gonna meet us." Scott informed the group as he hung up the phone.
Deaton nodded, Lydia suddenly stumbling a little.
"What's wrong?" Alex frowned.
"Something's happening." Lydia responded, glancing between the group. "I had this sudden rushing feeling. Like we're running out of time."
"Yeah." Stiles spoke as Kira guided him into the room. "Yeah, I kinda got that feeling too."
