That night when Scott came home, we made up. There was nothing more that I hated than fighting with my brother, especially at a time like this. 

We had learned that these so called "dread doctors" were targeting chimeras. We didn't know what they wanted them for, but hopefully the book would give us at least some answers. Apparently, according to Valack, the author of said book, it was more than just that, it was a tool meant to open our eyes...whatever that meant.

"My mom's book club usually has some more wine." Lydia acknowledged as the group of us stared down at the copies of The Dread Doctors. After many attempts I had finally managed to convince Scott to let me read the book.

"Yeah, well they probably also didn't read books that cause violent hallucinations." Stiles pointed out.

"That's why Malia's here." Scott replied, giving the girl who had already finished the book a small smile.

"So none of us go running into traffic." Kira explained.

"Or worse." Scott added. 

"Like what happened to Judy." Malia stated. We all looked over at her, confusion written on our features. "Chapter 14." She explained.

"Maybe I should let my mother read it." Lydia mumbled as she picked up a copy,  "She might remember a girl with a tail, leaping off the ceiling and attacking everyone." 

"If it works." Stiles added.

Lydia's eyes flickered down to the book, "It has to."

"What does that mean?" I wondered.

"I think I saw them, during my surgery." Lydia explained, he voice quiet, as if she didn't want anyone to hear her.

All of us looked over at her in concern, especially Stiles who had his brows knit together.

"When I look at the cover of the book, it's like..."

"A memory trying to surface." Theo finished her sentence for her.

"Yeah." she confirmed, giving a small nod. 

"Is that what Valack wanted when he wrote it?" Kira questioned which caused Malia to nod slowly in response.

"If they did something to me, I want to know what it is." Lydia announced.

I let out a shaky breath as I bent down to collect my copy off of the coffee table. Scott turned to look at me, quickly flashing a comforting smile.

An hour and a half later, I struggled to keep my eyes open, as I flipped yet another page of the book. I glanced around the room to see that everyone was doing the same. As I scanned over my friends, my eyes briefly met with Theo's. He was seated on the couch next to me, and had his eyes focused on me rather than the book. 

I sent him a smile as my brother spoke, "Anyone feeling anything yet?" Scott asked, breaking the silence.

"Tired." I mumbled, lifting my dropping eyes to meet with my brother's.

"Hungry." Lydia muttered.

"I think he meant the book." Theo pointed out.
