"Where is she?" Stiles asks as they get out the car
"Over here." Lydia says
"Lydia?" He asks as they walk towards them

"It's the same thing-- same thing as the pool. I got into the car heading somewhere totally different, and ended up here. And you told me to call you if there's a dead body." She says
"You found a dead body?" Stiles asks
"Not yet..." She says.

"'Not yet?' What do you mean, 'not yet?' Lydia, you're supposed to call us after you find the dead body." He says
"Oh, no. I'm not doing that again. You find the dead body from now on." Lydia says
"How are we supposed to find the dead body? You're always the one finding the dead body!" Stiles says.

"Guys! I found the dead body." Scott shouts at they all look at the school sign where the body is and Rayne looks at it closely.

"Tara?"

🪐

"Idioms, analogies, metaphors, and similes. All tools the writer uses to tell their story." Miss Blake says and then stops at Lydia's desk
"Lydia, I wasn't aware you had so many hidden talents?" She says
"You and every guy I've ever dated." Lydia says and Rayne tries not to laugh.

"Oh. Um, well, that was an idiom, by the way. Idioms are something of a secret to the people who know the language or the culture. They're phrases that only make sense if you know key words. Saying 'jump the gun 'is meaningful only if you know about the starting gun in a race. Or, a phrase like, 'seeing the whole board...'" Miss Blake says looking at Stiles, Scott and Rayne.

"Like chess." Stiles says
'That's right, Stiles. Do you play?" She asks
"Uh, no. My father does." He replies
"Now, when does an idiom become a cliché?" She asks.

"I think I can get to Ethan. I'm pretty sure I can make him talk." Scott says quietly
"What do you want to do that for?" Stiles asks
"The Druids are Emissaries, right? So, what if the Darach was an Emissary to the Alphas?" He asks.
"Okay, first of all, I cannot believe we've gotten to the point where a sentence like, 'What if the Darach was an Emissary to the Alphas?" actually makes sense to me." Stiles says
"Second of all, we're gonna have a huge problem getting to Ethan." He says.

"What's that?" Scott asks
"Going through Aiden. Ever since he's been back at school, they're always together. How are we gonna separate them again?" Stiles asks and they both look at Rayne

"Oh, for fuck sake no. Absolutely no." Rayne says.

🪐

Rayne kisses Aiden and he sits down and he pulls away
"What?" She asks
"I'm just kinda surprised, you haven't talked to me since." He says.

"Would you rather me punch you instead because I will. Repeatedly." She says
"No, it's just that it was Kali."
"Oh, so your not taking responsibility on killing my best friend. Wow dick move." She says.

"Didn't he try and kill Lydia as well as Erica?" He asks and she slaps him across the face
"How the fuck do you know that?" She asks and before he could answer a spiral is drawn on the window
"Who the fuck could that be?"

"Derek."

🪐

"Derek?" Aiden says walking out of the room
"Aiden, stop. Please." Rayne says
"I'm right here, Derek!"

"Aiden stop being dick." She says
"You want a fight, Derek? Come and get me!" He says and Cora pins him against the wall and starts clawing at his chest.

Then he grabs her arm and throws her to the sinks
"Aiden. Stop!" She shouts and tries to pull his arm back but he accidentally flings her against the lockers as he walks to Cora and takes a weight and hits her across the face with it and tries to hit her again but Scott and Ethan catch his arms and he lets go of it.

"You can't do this!" Ethan shouts
"She came at me!" Aiden shouts back
"It doesn't matter! Kali gave Derek until the next full moon. You can't touch him or her. Especially her." Ethan says looking at Rayne and Aiden looks at her as Scott helps her.

Then Ethan takes Aiden by the shoulders and leaves and Rayne kneels down to Cora
"Hey, guys? I think she's pretty hurt." Stiles says looking at blood coming from Cora's head.

🪐

"You okay?" Stiles asks as Cora cleans off the blood from her head
"She doesn't look okay." Lydia says
"I'll heal." Cora says and stands back and nearly falls.

"Uh... Oh." Stiles says nearly catching her
"I said, I'm fine." She says
"Do you realize how suicidally crazy that was? What were you thinking, going after them?" Stiles says.

"I did it for Boyd! None of you were doing anything." Cora says
"We're trying." Scott says
"And you're failing. You're just a bunch of stupid teenagers, running around, thinking that you can stop people from getting killed. But all you do is show up late. All you really do is find the bodies." Cora says and walks out.

"She's definitely a Hale." Stiles says
"Mm, I'll make sure she gets home." He says
"I'm going too." Rayne says.

🪐

"Philosophers?" Stiles asks
"And guardians... Which, after last night, has to mean something, like, law enforcement, right?" Allison says over the phone on speaker
"Stiles, you have to tell your dad. Tell him whatever you need, but you have to get him to believe. Tell your dad. Warn him." She says.

"Okay, okay, okay. I know." Stiles says
"What are you gonna do?" Cora asks
"I'm gonna tell him the truth." He says.

"And I'm gonna need your help."

🪐

"Okay, okay, okay, okay. Yes! Okay. Nooo, oh..." Stiles mumbles
"Stiles." His father said impatiently
"Dad, I'm sorry, okay? I'm just... I'm trying to... I'm just trying to figure out how to start, here..." He says.

"Hey, I don't have this kind of time." He says
"You're really want gonna want to listen." Rayne says.

"Um... For the last year, you've had all these cases that you couldn't figure out, right? I mean, all the murders involving Kate Argent, and then Matt killing all the people that drowned him, and all these murders right now! It's like-It's like you've been playing a losing game."

"Stiles, the last thing I need right now is a job performance review from my own son." Their father says
"I know, okay? See, but that's... That's just it, Dad. The-the reason that you're losing the game is 'cause you've never been able to see the whole board!" Stiles says and then gets the chess board down.

"I need to show you the whole board."

🪐

"Scott and Derek are Werewolves?" Stilinski asks his children
"Yes!" They both say
"And Kate Argent was a Werewolf?" He says.

"Hunter. That's-- purple's 'Hunter.'" Stiles says
"Along with Allison and her father." Cora says
"Yeah." Stilinski says.

"And... and my friend Deaton, the veterinarian, is a Kanima?"
"Well, no. No, no, no, no. He's a Druid, okay?" Stiles says
"He's an emissary, well was. To Talia Hale." Rayne says.

"So, who's the Kanima?" He asks
"Jackson." Stiles says
"No, Jackson's a Werewolf." He says.

"Jackson was the Kanima first, and the Peter and Derek killed him, and he came back to life as a Werewolf. Now, he's in London." Rayne explains
"Who's the Darack?" Their father asks
"It's Darach." Stiles says.

"We don't know yet." Cora says
"We don't know yet." Stiles and Rayne say
"But he was killed by Werewolves?" Stilinski asks.

"Slashed up and left for dead." Stiles says
"We think." Cora says
"We think. Yeah." Stiles and Rayne repeat.

"Why was Jackson the Kanima?" Their father asks
"Cause sometimes, the shape that you take reflects the person that you are." Stiles says
"And what shape would an increasingly confused and angrier-by-the-second father take?" He asks.

"Uh, that would be more of an expression like the one you're currently wearing." Stiles says
"Yeah." He agrees and stands up
"Dad-- Dad, would you-" Stiles says standing in front of him.

"I can prove it, okay? Look, she's one of them. A Werewolf!" Stiles says looking at Cora.
"Stiles. Stiles! That's enough." He says
"Dad, can you please just hold on?" Stiles asks.

"You ready?" Rayne asks and Cora nods and stands up
"All right, Dad, just watch this, okay?" Stiles says and Cora faints
"Woah." Rayne says catching her.

"Call an ambulance."

🪐

"I am going to kill you! Actually kill you!" Rayne shouts at Aiden
"Cora is in the hospital because of you. The actual hospital a human one. Nice going. Some self fucking control you have!" She shouts.

"It was an accident." He says
"Oh! An accident!" She says
"What else was an accident?" She asks.

"Boyd? Erica? Isaac? Is there anything else that I have missed?" She asks
"Hurting you. I am so sorry for hurting you." He says
"I don't believe you anymore about anything. About you liking me. It was all bullshit." She says.

"Rayne-"
"I hate you. I really really do." She says
"I don't want to see you again. Ever." She says and walks away.

🪐

"Come on. Come on." Rayne says trying to open the cap to her medication and they all spill in her sink
"Fuck." She says and picks them up and puts them back into the bottle
"Rayne!" She hears Aiden shout and she tries to go as quick as possible and he goes to her room and into her bathroom.

"Rayne?" He asks
"You are breaking an entry. Get out!" She shouts
"What the fuck are you doing with all of those?" He asks.

"The cap was on too hard I was opening it and they came out." She says
"But you're a werewolf, you don't need it." He says and then it was like everything came together when he realised
"You don't actually need them, have you ever needed them?" He asks.

"Yes, I get my period. I'm not an addict. I've got a very sensitive stomach."
"Just don't tell anyone."
"I thought you weren't addicted."

"I'm not, I just... I just look at them, contemplate it, I don't take anything anymore." She says and he nods
"Now, get out before I call the police on your ass for breaking an entry of Sheriff's house." She says and he nods and leaves and she sighs in relief.

Unknowing of the events that will occur.
