Zelda wanted to keep focused on the task in front of her. She knew it was important, but she could smell Briella dying. It was so overwhelming. She even wondered if Lydia could feel it with her weird thing she has. But at the moment, even after Lydia talking to Peter and Derek about the Nemeton. She was not staring over at Derek. She could smell just how worried he was about Briella and she wasn't sure if that made her feel better or not.

Lydia broke Zelda's thought process, "You don't know where it is? But Stiles said you'd been there-"

"We have." Peter admits to her, letting his focus shift over to Zelda who seemed in and out of it, "But after a few memorable experiences there, Talia... Derek's mother and my older sister... decided that she didn't ever want us going back. She knew how dangerous it was and took the memory of its location from us."

Lydia's brows furrowed together and she sighed, "But then how are we supposed to find it?"

Zelda only shook her head, "Lydia, we just need to go. If they can't tell us where the Nemeton is then we're going to have to find it by ourselves."

As they were leaving, Derek got up and followed them to the door. He grabbed onto Zelda's arm before she could walk fully out, "I'm going to save her."

"You better." Zelda tells him slowly and softly, "Because if she dies... you get to live with it. And I lose a best friend."

Lydia listened to the two of them before she nodded for Zelda to follow, "I got a text from Stiles, he's with Deaton at the animal clinic."

"Okay."

Lydia jumped in the car before mumbling, "Briella's going to be okay."

"You don't know that." Zelda sank a little bit in her chair with a frown on her face, "Jennifer is killing Briella to prove a point. That-that she's strong and in control. We're going to lose her."

"I don't think so..."

"How do you know that?"

"I just-" Lydia tapped her hand on the wheel in silence before continuing, "I just do..."

"I really hope you're right."

Lydia exhales, "So do I."

Ronald leaned against the wall and ran his hand through his hair, "Okay, we don't know where it is, Stiles."

"It has to be on a telluric current-" He tells everyone, looking around at the entire group, "Or maybe even at the axis of two or where they all intersect. I just know it's where Derek took Paige to die."

Allison nodded her head, "My dad and Gerard were there once. But Gerard said it was years ago, and he couldn't remember where it was. And my dad obviously isn't here to tell us now."

"Yeah, mine either..."

Isaac only crossed his arms over his chest, "Then how do we find this place?"
