3rd PERSON POV
Scott and Ariadne rushed to Deaton's. " We don't have much time they're coming back" Deaton said as he rushed to clean the teenagers would. " What is that?" Scott asked as he watched Deaton drop some on some gauze. Deaton stopped and looked up at him, " rubbing alcohol, you don't want it to get infected do you?" He asked and put one on Scott and another on Ariadne. " We'll heal the same, not as quickly because of Derek" Ariadne said as she pulled her shirt down, taking a breath of relief. " How do you know all of this? Actually how do you know anything? Did Aria tell you?" Scott asked the veterinarian tending to his wounds. " It's a longer story, all I can tell you is that I know about your kind. Your kind I can help. This," Deaton said referring to the body on the table, " this is something different" he said turning back to the teens. " Do you know what did it?" Ariadne asked as she stared at the body. " No but the Argents might. They'll have some kind of book, it'll have histories, descriptions, notations of all kinds of things they've discovered over the years" Deaton said, trying to help to teens with a clue. " Uh, all the things? How many different things are there?" Scott asked as he looked toward Deaton in shock. Then everybody became quiet as they heard cars pull up, Scott and Ariadne hiding quickly.
" I'm starting to think in need a more prominent closed sign" Deaton said as he examined the body. " If you hadn't noticed, this body is one of ours" Chris Argent said as he pointed at the body. Then Gerard stepped into the room. " Hello, Allen. Last I heard you were retired" he said stepping into the room. Scott and Ariadne heard his voice and visibly tensed, trying to stay as quiet as possible.
" Last I heard, you followed a code of conduct" Deaton snapped back. " I noticed gunpowder residue on his finger tips. So don't assume I'll be swayed by your philosophy and answer a few questions" Deaton said to the hunters. " He was only 24" Argent reminded him. " Killer, come on all ages" Deaton said, directing the statement towards Gerard. " All ages, sizes, shapes. It's the last one that concerns us" Gerard said, adding on to the vet's statement. The two teens who hid in the back room payed very close attention to the conversation that was about to take place, knowing that there was a new monster running around.
" See this cut? Precise. Almost surgical, but this isn't the wound that killed him. This had a more interesting purpose"Deaton said, pointing to the cut on the back of his neck. "Relating to the spine?" Gerard asked as he got closer to take a look. " That's right. Whatever made this cut was laced with a paralytic toxin, potent enough to disable all motor functions. These are the cause of death" Deaton showed the hunters, pointing to the claw marks on the body. " Notice the patterns on each side? One for every finger" Deaton said, pointing to each side of the body. " For every claw" Gerard corrected him.
" As you can see it dug in, slashing in an upwards motion. Slicing through the lungs and rib cage" Deaton demonstrated what he meant. " Have you ever seen anything like this at all?" Argents asked, hoping to get some insight. Deaton shook his head. " Any idea at all?" Gerard asked, reframing the question. " All I can tell you it's remarkably fast, strong, and able to render it's victims completely powerless within seconds" Deaton said, just letting them know the dangers. " So are you saying we should be cautious? We get it" Argent said, understanding the danger or the situation. "I'm saying you should be afraid. Be very afraid. Predators in the natural world with paralytic toxins use it to catch and eat their prey. This prey wasn't eaten. That means whatever killed him, only wanted to kill him. In fact killing may be it's only purpose" Deaton said, reminding them that this is no ordinary creature.
Scott and Ariadne were in the car, it was silent. Both in their own thoughts about different things. " Do you wanna talk about it?" Scott asked, breaking the silence. Ariadne looked over at him, she did not feeling discussing her feeling with the boy she loved about another boy. " No, I don't. It's not a big deal" She said, still looking at the window. " I'm just saying I'm here if you want to talk. I know how you feel, breakups can be hard" Scott said, trying to get her to talk. Ariadne snapped her head his way. " Do you? Last time I checked you were still in a secret relationship with Allison Argent! So don't sit here and say you understand when you're probably gonna meet up with her later tonight!" She said, snapping at the McCall boy. She knew she shouldn't have taken her anger out on him, but he didn't truthfully know how he felt.
