"Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god." Stiles spoke, him and Hayden struggling to hold an extremely bloody Eli and Liam. After Liam went after the beast, and Eli trying to save him, they both got it pretty bad. And right now, Eli was bleeding all over Stiles. People began to scream, running through the hallway.

"My mom." Eli winced, looking to Stiles. "My mom."

"She's with my dad, she's okay." Stiles promised, him and Hayden bringing the two into one of the empty classrooms. Stiles helped Eli onto one of the tables. "Okay, Eli, you're such an idiot."

"Liam is the idiot." he squeezed his eyes shot, trying to heal himself. "Who runs after The Beast? You aren't Belle."

"Who follows him?" Stiles asked in disbelief.

"Belles dad." Eli breathed out, clutching his chest as blood poured from it. "Gaston."

"Liam." Hayden looked down at him in a panic as he continued to cry out, having it worse then Eli had.

"I'm okay." he managed to get out. Stiles went to the table, the two tearing his shirt off as Hayden placed a hand over her mouth, Stiles gagging loudly. "What? Is it bad?"

"No!" Hayden tried to reassure him.

"Very." Stiles shook his head, heading back to Eli to do the same to him. "Nope, nu-uh."

Hayden looked, cringing slightly. "Why do you bleed so much?"

"I think I bleed a normal amount." Eli squeezed his eyes shout, tightening his jaw.

"No, not at all." Hayden disagreed.

"Hayden, I can't talk when I feel like i'm dying." Eli put a hand on his forehead.

"Okay, okay. What do you guys usually do when this happens?" Hayden asked Stiles in a quick panic.

"Oh, I usually pass out." Stiles looked over at her, throwing a thumb back at Eli. "And he usually starts ranting hard core."

"Stiles!" Hayden yelled as he went a little limb.

"Okay, okay. Scott did this with pain. He could trigger it. Pain makes you human." he looked at her quickly.

"They're already in pain." Hayden pointed out, looking over to Eli on the other table.

"Right, okay, but maybe adding a little more can help take away the pain." Stiles pointed out, holding Eli's bloody hand.

Liam cried out in pain, sitting up quickly. Stiles gapped as Hayden leaned in to kiss him, her cheek forming black streaks for a second before Liam fell back onto the table with a sigh of relief. "Okay, next time, i'll kiss him."

Eli gave a sudden whimper, grabbing his neck where a gash was. "It's like fire."

"Eli, I love you, but we aren't about to kiss." Stiles said as he squeezed his hand tighter.

"I can try." Hayden gripped his hand, but nothing was happening. "Okay Eli, I could-"

"Please don't kiss me." he squeezed his eyes shut. "You're with my best friend."

Eli breathed out raggedly, looking up at Stiles. "What? What is it? What do I do?"

Eli gripped his hand, his jaw tightening in pain. "Where's Malia? She took my pain once."

"What did you do to him?" Malia busted through the door not too long later, hurrying to Eli's side. "Jesus, why do you bleed so much?"

"So i've been told." Eli squeezed his eyes shut. "I was chasing Belle."

Malia looked over at a weak Liam. She grabbed his hand, both of them, with a tight squeeze. Her veins turned black, Eli's eyes widening before falling back on the table with multi sighs of relief, nodding his head. "Thanks, Malia."

She grinned, rubbing a hand through his hair. "I heard what you did."

"Going after the Beast?" Eli asked, his eyes shut from the internal weakness he was facing.

"No, on the field." she said, raising an eyebrow. "You're moving up on the team, huh?"

Eli gave a small smile. "I still miss my camera and my bench."

Malia gave a little chuckle, nodding her head as her finger ran across his forehead. "Don't worry, i'm sure you'll see it again."

"I can go find Scott." Liam sat up slowly, Hayden helped him off the table. "Is he gonna be okay?"

"He's fine." Malia nodded, Eli looked in Liams direction. "Just needs a second."

"I'm sorry for getting you into that." Liam looked down at Eli. "You don't have to always come save me, though."

Eli laughed slightly, but it hurt to do so. "Yeah, I do."

"This is insane. In-freaking-sane." Eli said in disbelief, crowded together in the kitchen. "There's no way it's Mason. No way."

"I agree." Liam nodded his head.

"My dads gotta AP out, Adeline is paroling everywhere he could have taken off too." Stiles nodded his head.

"On a 5'8 sixteen year old?" Kira asked.

"I recommended nine foot tall, rampaging werewolf." Stiles corrected her with a shrug.

"Didn't go so well." Eli shook his head. "Then again, most sixteen year olds in Beacon Hills are 5'8, so I don't know which one is worse."

"It still might not be him." Liam pointed out with a sigh. Everyone looked his way as Liam sighed. "But, Hayden's at the school looking."

"I can keep checking the woods." Malia pointed out, looking around.

"My mom can check all the hospitals in the county." Scott came around the corner.

"Though I smelt you." Eli rose his eyebrows his way.

"We can find him." Scott said confidently.

"What happens then?" Liam asked.

"We figure out a way to save him." Scott gave him a reassuring look.

"Okay. Where else could we look?" Lydia blinked, nodding his head.

"You said Corey took off with him?" Eli looked at Scott, getting a nod. The Foxx boy tilted his head knowingly.

"No. Absolutely not." Malia said in disbelief.

"What?" Lydia looked over.

"If anyone knows where Corey would be, it's gonna be him." Eli pointed out as he faced Malia again. "I can get through to him too."

"Yeah, because he wants to kill you for your power." she looked in disbelief. "You've lost your mind."

"I'm just saying, if we can find Mason-" Eli began, being cut off.

"You aren't going anywhere near Theo unless you wanna die." Malia gave a shrug. "Do you wanna die?"

"No!" Eli shot back.

"Good, because even if you did, it wouldn't be with Theo." she said back confidently. "I would eat you if you wanted to die."

Eli nodded with a tight lipped smile, patting her back. "That's refreshing. Thank you, Malia."

"We don't need Theo to find Corey." Scott met Elis eye, his arm outreaching as he grasped onto thin air, Corey emerging from it in a panic.

"Oh, you little creep!" Eli shouted at him in disbelief.

"Wait. Wait. It's not my fault!" Corey called out quickly with a panicked look. "They took him and I couldn't do anything. They took him-"

"Who?" Scott cut him off with a serious look.

Corey stared. "The Dread Doctors."

"Ah, yes." Eli tossed his hands up, pacing the kitchen as he bite at his fingers. "My old pals. We go way back."

Lydia reached over to grab his arm. Scott looked over at him as Eli rose an eyebrow. "Now do you want to take my advice?"

"I still vote no." Malia spoke.

"Before you try to murder me-" Eli held a finger up to Theo as him, Scott, and Liam walked into the locker room to meet Theo and Tracy. "- just, don't."

Theo exhaled. "Just, don't. Woah, that's your best threat yet."

"Yeah, been working on it." he said in return, looking weary, still standing behind Scott and Liam.

"I told you we'd end up on the same side." Theo said in rerun, rocking on his heels.

"How about I punch you in the balls to remind you that we're not, considering you wanna kill Eli." Liam smiled his way.

Theo laughed. "I love this kid."

"I don't." Tracy stared his way.

"He doesn't love you either, Tracy." Eli shot her way with an eyeroll.

"We know you're not on our side, Theo." Scott cut in with an exhale. "You said you wanted to help Lydia. But, you left Eichen with something else, didn't you?"

"You mean the mask?" Theo held his head up a little higher. "Are you worried about that?"

"Did you put it on?" Scott questioned. They both were silence. "Who did you see?"

"Not Mason." Theo shook his head.

"What's that mean?" Eli questioned.

"It's not him?" Liam asked by his side.

"It probably means he's a lost cause." Tracy mocked.

"Kinda like you?" Eli hummed in her direction. "Or do you need a recap?"

"We all want the same thing." Theo stopped the pairs bickering. "We want Mason back."

"Okay, but the difference is we want him back alive." Scott glared in his direction.

"Well, i'm willing to comprise." Theo smiled, stepping forward, looking toward Eli.

"Okay, well, you're not killing Eli." Scott said back in a matter of fact tone.

"I'd sure hope not." the Foxx boy hummed.

"I don't wanna kill Eli, I just want his power." Theo rolled his eyes. "You still got the map with telluric currents on it? Bring it to the operating theater in two hours."
