chapter eighteen, SIGHT OF POWER

☾ ☾●☽ ☽

Noah Hall

I lay on my bed, hunched over my textbook with the faint light of my bedside lamp lighting the page in front of me.

I look down at the page and bite my bottom lip. I sit up and take a deep breath in. I groan in pain and rub both my temples in attempt to get rid of a headache I've had for a few days now.

Between arguing with Stiles and piles of work for school, I've had no time to relax. I've had no time to think.

I haven't spoken to Theo much the last few days, at least not since he caught Stiles, Liam and I stalking him.

I really should apologize to him, he's just lonely, he needs friends. I understand where he's coming from, though I've had Stiles and Scott my entire life, there are few times where I feel like it's them and then me.

He must feel so alone, I just wish Stiles would believe him, if not believe him, at least trust me.
Theo seems nice, he's smart, and a plus that I try not to think about too much is that he's so fucking hot.

I sit up and close my textbook. I need a break. With my friends busy as usual I can't really think of much I can do.
  I look down at my hands and sigh. I haven't really practiced much of my powers, only when the group has wanted me to.

I am curious of my full ability, but it also scares me, heavily. As of now, I know I can push people with air, or with my mind I'm not sure yet which it is, I can create a shield to protect myself or others, I can hover above the ground, I can pull things to my hand without even getting up.

Really, What the hell am I?

I think I might have had an easier time with this if my mother was here to help me.

I briefly close my eyes and take a deep breath in. I feel a surge of power flow through my body, just like have before and I open my eyes to see my hands glowing.

I laugh in surprise and move my hands around my face. I visualize how my hands looked the night in Mexico. With small lightning streaks flowing through my fingers, once I visualize it, the bright light from my palms turns into the same purple lightning.

I watch as it dances around my hand. I smile and push my hand into the air. The lightning flows into the air and spins around my room.

I watch in awe and I feel I burning sensation in my other hand. I step off my bed and gasp when I'm lifted in the air.

"What the hell-" I state and see my feet's hovering above my floor. "I didn't mean to do that." I groan.

Once the words leave my mouth I drop to the floor. I groan and grab my bottom and when I look up the purple light in gone from above me.

I sigh and stand up. I hear a knock behind me and turn. I look at my window and slightly jump when I see something hit my window.

I go towards my window and see Liam in my backyard. I furrow my brows and he waves with a bright smile once he sees me.

I shake my head and walk downstairs. I go towards the back door and open it. "Liam?" I exclaim.
"What are you doing here?" I ask. He walks towards me and smiles. "I was in the neighborhood" he says with a shrug and walks into my kitchen.

"Liam, you live five blocks away" I state and close the door behind him.

"I know, its just, we haven't hung out in a little, so, I decided to come here." He says.

This isn't the first time Liam's shown up at my door in the middle of the night. I sense he has a real fear of being alone at his house. Especially when his mom is gone for work and his dad is working late at the hospital.

That's the only explanation I can think of, of why he comes to me in the middle of the night.

"Don't worry, you can come here any time you want." I say and walk past him. "Are you hungry?" I ask him. He shakes his head.

"Was I interrupting anything?" He asks. I shake my head. "I was just trying to practice," I say and look at my hands.

"Need help?" He asks. I shrug "maybe, there's something I've actually been kind of eager to try" I state.

"What is it?" He asks.

"Remember the book said I could give my powers away temporarily or permanently" I state and go up my stairs, he follows.

We walk into my room and he closes the door behind him. He takes his shoes off and sits on the edge of my bed.

"I've been wanting to try. Would you be up to it?" I ask. He bites his bottom lip and nods.

"Will it hurt?" He asks. I shrug "I have no idea" I state.

"Do you know what you have to do?" He asks. I shake my head. "No idea," I state.

He stands up in front of me and I look at him. I look down at his hand and my arm moves forward like I have no control over it. Like my body just knows to grab his hand.

I hold his hand tightly and look into his eyes. We wait for a second but nothing happen. My hand starts to glow, then quickly stops.

I groan and let go. "Maybe we should start with something easier?" Liam suggests "you're right, I don't know what I was thinking" I state.

"What are you best at?" Liam asks.

"Shields." I state. He nods. "Show me" he instructs.

I nod and take a deep breath in, I hold both my hands out in front of me and a purple aura appears around us.

I've gotten great at that. It comes so naturally.

I close my hands and it disappears. He looks at me with a proud smile and I laugh. "What else?" He asks.

"I can throw you across the room" I shrug. He nods and holds his arms open. "In my room? Are you crazy?" I laugh.

He groans and grabs my hand, we go down stairs and he moves the coffee table towards the wall. "Hit me!" He jokes.

I sigh and hold my palm out towards him. I feel a burning sensation go down my arm and almost a cloud like gust of wind comes from my hand, then pushes into Liam, I watch in shock as he flies into the kitchen.

I drop my hand and I run towards him. "Liam, I'm so sorry" I state with a small laugh and help him up off the floor. "It's okay," he says and groans.

"What else?" He asks. I furrow my brows and laugh "you want to go again?"

He nods, "I'm prepared to be here all night until you've practiced enough so you can do that power share thing" he states proudly and places his hands on his hips.

I laugh and shake my head.

I step away from him and smirk, "what are you going to do?" He asks with a worried face.

I twist my hand towards him and his feet rise above the ground. He looks in awe as I stick my tongue out slightly in focus. "You're amazing" he whispers.
I look up at him and my mouth slightly opens.

He falls to the ground as my focus has left my hands and gone to his words.

I shake my head and laugh. "You want to see what I learned the other day in the shower?" I ask.
He furrows his brows and nods.

I walk past him and stand in front of my kitchen sink. He watches as I hold my hand out, pointing my finger at the faucet, water slowly starts to falling from the sink and float towards us in a line.

"Woah" he whispers. "Can you do that with fire, or wind?" He asks.

"I know I can do it with wind, I just through you across the room with it" I laugh, he rubs the back of his neck and laughs "you're right"

"I haven't tried fire," I state and walk past him again the water drops into the sink and I go towards the stove.

"Is this safe?" He asks and scratches his forehead. "I guess we'll find out" I shrug.

I point a finger towards the stove top and nothing happens. I do it again, and again, nothing. "Maybe I can't do it with fire." I state.

"But the book said you could use all elements" he states. I groan in annoyance and try again.
"Nothing." I whisper under my breath.

"Well, I'd say, practice was pretty great tonight" he states and places his hands on my shoulders.

I think he can tell my annoyance level is rising so I nod and walk out of the kitchen with him.

"What if I never get the hang of this Liam?" I ask with a worried tone. "I'm sure you will, don't doubt yourself." He states and steps towards me.

He places his hand on my shoulder and smiles at me, "I believe in you Noah." He whispers. I look into his eyes and give him a soft smile, "thank you Liam" I whisper I back.

☾ ☾●☽ ☽

I walk into the sheriffs office with Scott and we see him standing next to Stiles.

Stilinski is fixing his hair and he groans. "I should've gotten a hair cut" He mumbles. "Someone your age should be happy they even have hair to cut." Stiles says with a smile and pats his shoulders.

"I think you look great," Scott says. "Yes, your hair look amazing, sir" I say with a smile.

Stilinski looks at Scott and I with a firm gin and nods. "Thank you son and daughter I should've had" he says and glares at Stiles.

Stilinski looks at himself in the mirror once more and sighs. He pulls his tie and shakes his head, "what the hell am I doing, I can't do this." He says.

"Dad, it's one date," Stiles says and stops him from taking his tie off. "The town of Beacon Hills won't implode while you're out with one woman."

"Or man" Stiles slyly says with a wink.

Stilinski shakes his head and turns to his desk. "It's a woman Stiles." He corrects. "A very beautiful woman." He adds.

I raises my brows up at him and Scott lightly laughs. "What beautiful woman, by the way?" Stiles asks.

"None of your business." Stilinski says calmly.
    "Any of you." He adds and glares at Scott and I.
I raise my hands in surrender and Scott nods.

"I want to know..." Stiles whines and crosses his arms over his chest.

"Stilinski!" I hear loudly from outside his office.
   We all turn and look out the window to see a young man looking back at us. "Stilinski" he yells again.

Stilinski leaves his office and we follow.
   The man is handcuffed and being held by Parrish and another officer. "I'm going to kill you." The man yells.

"Donovan, if you think that shocks me, remember it was well documented in your anger expression inventory" Stilinski states. "Deputies, escort the prisoner out please."

"I'm not angry like I'm going to throw a brick through your window." Donavan yells. "I'm angry, like I'm going to find you, I'm going to get a knife, and I'm going to stab you with it until you're dead. And when you look at me and you ask me why, remember right now, because this is why." He glares.

I furrow my brows and look him up and down. What a psycho.

"Wow, that was awesome" Stiles laughs. "That was awesome, that was great. Can we do one more? Give us another." Stiles states. "More like Christopher Walken this time.?"

I shake my head and look back at Donavon who doesn't seem to find Stiles very funny.

"You know it's fine, you'll have plenty of time to work on it when you're in a tiny little jail cell, stuck there, forever." Stiles finishes with a happy grin.

Stilinski glares at Stiles and he shrugs with a smile.

Donavan laughs and then lunges towards us, both Scott and I stand in front of Stiles and Stilinski groans. "Get him out of here." He yells.

Parrish and the other officer take him out of the station and Scott and I step back. "What is Anger Expression Inventory?" Scott ask.

"It's a test you take when you're applying to become a deputy." Stiles answers. "That guy wanted to be a cop?" I asks. "At least now he's getting the full law enforcement experiences" Stiles jokes.

We walk towards Stiles Jeep and get in. As predicted his Jeep won't start. I hear him sigh and I look at Scott.

Stiles looks at us and shakes his head. "It's anxiety" he states.

I furrow my brows and I rolls his eyes. "I'm well aware how you all keep tabs on my emotions with your noses."

I slowly nod and sit back in my seat.

"It's been worse since last year, I promise I won't be possessed again anytime soon, so relax" Stiles spits.

Stiles slams his fist against the steering wheel and groans. Scott looks down at his hand then back at me. "Are you okay?" Scott asks.

I've always been worried about Stiles, always, but as of recently our friendship has had some loose wires, so I've been letting Scott handle him.

"Alright..." Stiles groans and reaches for his pocket. He pulls his phone out and shows Scott, "I got this from Braeden a couple hours ago" He says and looks back at me.

I furrow my brows and look at his phone. "That's the first bit of real information we've got on the desert wolf in months." Stiles explains.

"The desert wolf did that?" I ask in fear. "Yeah, and I'm the only one who's been pulling on this thread." Stiles states.

"Maybe you should stop." Scott warns. "It's not up to me." Stiles explains.

Stiles turns the key and the Jeep starts.

As we drive I feel a pulse of energy run through my hands. A weird sensation runs over my body and chill run up my arms. Something doesn't feel right.
  I feel my phone buzz in my pocket then it starts to ring.

I answer my phone and Lydia starts to talk "I'm sending you our location, get over here, there is so much blood" Lydia states frantically.

"Okay, okay calm down" I state.
   "there's bodies Noah." She adds. My eyes widen and I sit up.

"Stiles go downtown" I direct as I read her text. "We'll be there soon." I state to Lydia.

"Why? What's happening?" He asks. "Lydia found bodies." I state. Stiles eyes widen and Scott snaps his head back to me. "Bodies?" He exclaims.

I nod.

We go the location Lydia sent us and stop when we see multiple cop cars.
  We quickly get out and walk towards Lydia, Malia, and Kira.

We see a body being pulled past us and I freeze when I see all the blood. My stomach turns and I quickly look at Lydia.

"Boys," we hear from behind the girls. We all turn and see Stiles dad. Scott and Stiles walk towards him and I stay with the girls.

"What happened?" I ask. "I just knew to come here" Lydia states. "I felt something was wrong. I don't know how but I did" I explain.

"So does this mean you're like Lydia now?" Kira asks. I shake my head and cross my arms, "no, I think it's different, but something is definitely wrong, I've felt off for days now." I state.

"Something is happening and it doesn't feel right." I explain.

"You should talk to Deaton" Malia suggest. I nod in agreement.

Scott walks over to us and I furrow my brows. "What's up?" I ask. "I'm going to go find Donavan" he states. "Need help?" I ask.

"No, stay here with the others in case he or whatever the hell ripped those people apart come back." He explains. I nod and he runs off.

Scott has been gone for about ten minutes, my worrying has reached a level I didn't know it could get to.

Perish looks down at his walkie and we all walk towards him. "Scott is that you?" Parrish asks. "Yeah, I found Donavan, he's totally freaked out, he keeps saying a name..." Scot explains. "What name?" Stilinski asks.

"Theo..." I hear Stiles faintly whisper, I look over at him with a glare and listen to Scott, "he keeps saying Tracy,"

"Tracy who?" Stilinski asks. "Stewart." Lydia answers.

"Tracy Stewart." She adds.

☾ ☾●☽ ☽

I open my eyes but can't fully see. I sit up in hope to figure out where I am. I hear a faint dripping sound, like water falling into a puddle and I turn to it.

I smell sewage and chemicals but nothing familiar.

My heart starts to race as I fully realize, I really can't see. I feel around the ground and it's wet and cold, it must be cement.

I hear something beside me and I look up. I see a dark figure above me and a screech leaves my throat, I try and stand up but fall back to the ground when my legs start to shake.

"Where am I?" I scream.

I crawl backwards and a tear falls down my cheek as I feel something behind me. I turn around and see another dark figure above me.

"Who are you?" I say.

I remember Scott telling me to use my wolf sight if ever I'm blind normally. I take a deep breath in and out and my eyes become purple as they have been since I turned into a Phoenix.

I look up and see a a person with an old metal face mask on, just like the one I saw the other night, in my backyard.

"Is this a dream?" I mumble under my shaky breath. My entire body is shaking in fear as the two masked people come closer to me.

"No, Noah, you're awake" I hear. I turn around and see another person, this one is taller. He's holding a needle and walking right towards me.

"You're awake" they yell at me.

I jump up from my bed and gasp for air, I hold my chest and look around me frantically. I pull my legs into my chest and silently sob as air from my fan hits my face.

What the hell is happening to me?

☾ ☾●☽ ☽

"Tracy wasn't just have trouble sleeping, it was a real disorder, it was night terrors" Lydia explains.

"Yeah, well now she's the night terror" Stiles adds.

"Okay, look, I know we're all tired and miserable..." Scott starts but turns to Mason and he looks at us all in awe. "Accept for you" Scott laughs.

Mason snaps his head to Scott and stands up tall, "oh, I'm sorry. This is all just mind blowing" Mason explains.

I laugh and pat Liam on the back.

"You're a Kitsune" he says to Kira, then turns to me, "and you're a hybrid werewolf Phoenix" he states. I flatten my lips and nod. "I don't even know what either of those things are." He says with a laugh.

"We're both still learning" Kira says and looks at me with a small smile.

"Liam, we said you could tell him, not invite him into the inner circle" Stiles snaps. I hit his shoulder and he rolls his eyes.

"I'm- I'm in the inner circle?" Masons asks happily.

"No!" Liam and Stiles answer in unison.

"Guys- back to Tracy" Scott snaps and steps forward. "She's just one lone wolf."

"We can find her." Scott adds.

"One lone serial killing wolf" Malia adds. "Also, are we sure she's even a wolf?" I ask.
  They all furrow their brows and I shrug, "I mean with the amount we've dealt with I'm pretty sure it's safe to ask the question if she's even a werewolf." I state.

"Well, for right now all we know is she's something. And she's not really a serial killer either, she killed one person and the others were... seriously torn apart" Stiles says.

"Okay, what do we do when we catch her?" I ask.

"I say we put her down." Malia says genuinely. I snap my head to her and sigh.

We all stare at each other in silence and Mason nods. "Intense" He says with his mouth open in awe.

"Guys...let's concentrate on catching her first." Scott explains. "We'll figure out the rest later."

I nod in agreement and we all leave.

I walk off with Mason and Liam and we head towards the school. "So are meetings always like that?" Mason asks.

"Uh, sometimes." I say with a shrug.

"Mason, go to class" Liam says and shakes his head.
   I walk towards my locker but Liam grabs my wrist stopping me.

I turn to him and furrow my brows. "Noah are you okay?" He asks. I nod and we walk towards my locker. "Yeah why?" I ask.

His fear for me is making me concerned.

"You're text last night, you never got back to me." He explains. "What text?" I ask.

He grabs his phone and shows me his screen.

'I'm awake, I'm awake, I'm awake" a text from me reads. "I'm sorry, I don't remember sending that, I must have been half asleep or something" I laugh and turn to my locker.

"You're sure you're fine?" He asks. I nod. A girl walks past us and Liam stiffens. He glares at her and she turns towards the corner.

"Who was that?" I ask and watch as she looks at him before she disappears around the corner.

"Just some girl in my class." He spits. "Okay..." I say awkwardly.

"See you later" I state and walk into class.

I sit down next to Lydia and Mrs. Finch starts handing out the tests we took yesterday.

She hands me mine and I smile at the a- on the page.

"Good job Scott, since you're doing so well. Why don't you lead us in review" Mrs. Finch says as she hands Scott his paper.

My eyes widen and I look at Kira. "Uh sure" he says, I furrow my brows and look at him with surprise.

I turn my head when I see Liam at the door. I furrow my brows and he nods his head towards Scott. I turn my head and see Scott look up at Liam.

Liam waves his hand and points behind him.

"Scott?" Mrs. Finch asks. "Sorry just looking for the page." Scott says awkwardly.

I sigh and shake my head.

"Scott." She says firmly as he flips through his book. "Sorry" he says softly.

Scott points to his ear, so I listen as well.
   "She's here." Liam whispers from the hallway. "She's in history right now." Liam states. "Tracy"

My eyes widen and I snap my head to Lydia. "Tracy is here" I whisper to her.

Liam disappears down the hallway and the fire alarm goes off. We all get up quickly and walk out with our bags.

Scott, Kira, Lydia and I all walk out and go towards the history classroom.

I see a girl standing next to her and talking to her, it's the same girl I've seen with Liam.

Tracy slowly looks up and growls as she does. "Are you alright?" The girl asks.

She quickly grabs onto the girls arm and she winced in pain. My eyes widen and I step forward, Scott follows. "Tracy..." he says and holds his hands out.

I smell blood fall from the girls arm and I see Tracy's claws in her skin.

I make my way towards the girl and slowly pull Tracy's fingers from her flesh. I hold the girl in my arms and walk her towards the door.

Tracy looks up at us with fear and I furrow my brows. "They're coming" Tracy's whispers.

"They're coming for all of us"

Tracy falls to the ground and silver puss falls from her lips.

Scott lifts Tracy up and Kira's dad helps. We rush out of the room and I leave the girl with Liam. I follow them down the hallway and Stiles and Malia wave towards us and we go to them.

I open the doors for them and they leave. I turn back to Kira and Lydia and Liam walks towards us.

"They're taking her to the animal clinic" I state. "They're going to see if Deaton can figure out what's wrong with her" Liam states.

"What's wrong with her is that she killed two people" Lydia states. "Her father and according to Parrish, her psychiatrist." She explains.

"Isn't there anyone else we can talk to?" Kira asks. "Does she still have her mom? Any family?"

I shake my head and look at Lydia and Liam for answers. "Alpha." Lydia states. I furrow my brows and wait for her to continue.

"She's a werewolf right?" Lydia adds "She must have an Alpha"

"Anyone know of any knew alphas in town?" I ask. "No, but there's an old one." Kira states. "One of the oldest," she adds and turns to Liam.

"And we know her" I state

He groans and throws his head back, "and her pack..."

☾ ☾●☽ ☽

"And you're sure you're okay with this?" I ask Liam as we walk towards the field. "Because I can totally go talk to him for you" I state with a smile. "Yeah, I can help" Mason says knowingly.

Liam glares at us and crosses his arms over his chest. "It's best I do it." He says and stands tall. "Okay buddy," I say and pat his back.

I feel my phone buzz and I furrow my brows, I grab my phone and see Scott calling. I look up at Mason and nod, "keep an eye on him, I'll be one sec" I state and answer.

"Hey, what's up?" I say.

"Hey Noah, I'm with Deaton and the others," Scott says, "I need to ask you some questions, about your new abilities. Can you come to the clinic?" Deaton asks over the phone.

I furrow my brows and pause for a moment, "um sure, I'll be right there" I state and hang up.

I walk back to Mason and he looks at me, "I have to go, tell Liam I went to the clinic. Let me know what happens with him and Brett" I explain.

"Okay," Mason says and turns back to the field.

I quickly make my way to the student parking lot, and get in my car. As I drive, my headache starts to come back again, making me squint my eyes.

I groan in pain as I drive towards the animal clinic and calm my breathing as my anger rises.
   Control has been difficult for me lately, controlling myself as a normal wolf was one thing, this is completely different. It's like my body doesn't want control. It's like it fights me every time I try and keep calm.

I pull into the parking lot, and jump out. I walk inside and everyone turns to me. I look down at the table and see Tracy, passed out, with the same silver puss on her lips from earlier.

"What's going on?" I ask and move towards them.

"Over the summer, I went traveling as you know." Deaton states and I nod. "I had been curious of your...situation, as I'm not so familiar with Phoenix's." Deaton adds.

"What I learned from a small tribe in Brazil, was mostly the same from the book you had let me read. But I had also found something else out." He explains. "Much like Lydia, you have almost a sixth sense, you're able to tell when something's wrong, now unlike Lydia you cannot predict death, but you can detect when something unnatural, or something dangerous is happening within the supernatural" He says calmly and I listen closely.

"Scott had asked me a few days ago, if a beta could steal a true alphas power, and until now, I didn't think so. Seeing that man with the glowing claws is how I knew something unnatural is happening to the supernatural. I believe things are changing"

I furrow my brows and look at the others. "So what does this mean?" I state. I'm just a little confused on where he's going with this.

"I believe you know what's happening to the supernatural, the tribe I had spoken too, called the women in your family "Deorum tutelae", which means the protector of the gods. You have the ability to know when the lines between the supernatural and natural are crossing, and it appears that someone is changing the rules that make up your world. Your gift is called sight of power and I think you'll be able to help us understand what's happening" he states firmly.

I slowly nod and look down at my hands, "I've had this weird feeling, since the start of summer. I didn't know what it was, until the night that guy went after Scott. Since that night I've felt more power than I ever have before," I state.

"But," I start and they all watch me with intensely, "if I am some great protector who can do what you say I can, I don't think I'll be much help. I don't even understand half of what I can do, and I can't even do much of it properly. Without my mom, or Derek here to explain any of it to me, I don't know if I'll be much help" I say sadly.

"Look, I hate to change the subject, but I'm feeling very unsafe with Tracy just lying in front of us like this" Stiles says and stands closer to Malia.

"I say we take her out." Malia states. I furrow my brows and she shrugs, "I say we kill her. What's stopping her from killing us if she wakes up" She adds

"No," Stiles whispers to her, "She's right though, at some point I'm going to have to tell my dad she's here" Stiles explains.

Deaton nods and walks towards his desk. "Though I do not agree with euthanizing her, I do agree we need extra safety."

Deaton grabs a jar of mountain ash and throws it at the door. I look between the mountain ash and Tracy and furrow my brows. I have an itch just in my head, it's almost screaming at me, the answers to all this. But I just can't reach it.

Stiles looks at the mountain ash and sighs, Deaton pats his arm and nods, "Don't worry Stiles, Tracy can't cross a line of mountain ash" He states.

"Yeah, that's kinda what I'm afraid of" Stiles says and rubs the back of his neck. "Well, you and I will be able to get out of here no problem, you three. Not so much." Deaton says and looks between Scott, Malia and I.

Malia turns to the door and places her hand towards it. The mountain ash pushes her hand away and she jumps backwards. "Weird" she mumbles under her breath.

"Scott would you mind holding Tracy down?" Deaton says. "I'm going to be trying a few more invasive tests."

Scott places his hands on her arms and nods toward Deaton. Deaton takes his scalpel and places the sharp edge on Tracy's skin. He pushes down and a sharp scratching noise comes from it as he moves it down her arm. The noise is almost like a knife rubbing against a ceramic plate.

I squint in an uncomfortable manor and turn my head. I hate that noise, like nails against a chalkboard. Awful.

Tracy starts to move her head, and she starts to breathe heavily. I furrow my brows and look between Deaton and her.

I hear a small snap and turn to Deaton he lifts up the scalpel and it's broken into two. My eyes widen and I look back down at Tracy.

"I think you're going to need a bigger blade" Stiles says and scratches his head.

Deaton reaches for her head and turns it to the side. I watch as his face scrunches in disgust and I lean over her to look at what he's seeing.

The skin of her neck starts to move, as if something were inside. I jump back and slap my hand over my mouth. "What the fuck was that?" I exclaim.

Scott and Stiles step towards the door and look down at his phone.

Malia and I watch Deaton bring his fingers to her neck. Once his finger touch her skin, whatever is in her neck disappears.

"Noah. Help me turn her over" Deaton says. I nod and we turn her to her stomach. He lifts her shirt up to reveal her back and my eyes widen as something moving inside her.

"I think I know what she is" Stiles mumbles. "Care to enlighten the rest of us?" Deaton says and Stiles turns to us.

Scott and Stiles walk back towards us and they look down at her bare back.

"Why is it moving like that?" I whine as the thing in her skin moves back and forth. Deaton touches her back and the thing moves along with him.

In a split second, I watch as her back opens and I see her spine. My eyes widen and something sprays onto my face. I step back in shock and spit the substance out of my mouth, as some of it got past my lips.

I look up and see it's on Deaton, as well as Scott. I look back down and see Tracy's spine start to move up and down. I slightly gag and place my hand over my mouth.

Her spine jumps out and turns into a long slimy tail. Her tail whips towards us hitting Deaton and Stiles then towards me. I duck under it and so does Malia and Scott.

Tracy stands up on the table and glares at us. Her tail hits Malia in the face then me in the chest. I fall to the ground, half on top of Stiles and groan in pain.

Tracy jumps down from the table and leaves the room, spreading the mountain ash as she does. My eyes widen and my arms fall to the ground.

"What the fuck." I exclaim. I try and move any part of my body, but I seem to be frozen. "Get the hell off me" Stiles groans. "I can't" I state firmly.

"She wasn't a werewolf" Malia groans. "Kanima" Scott says.

"How did she get out?" I yell.
