Isaac, Allison, and Scott stand on the lookout overlooking the city.

"Cutting it a little close, aren't we, Scott?" Deucalion says as he walks up with Anna. The three turn to them.

"We got a little delayed. Where are the others?"

"Occupying themselves with other pursuits."

"So it's just you and me against her?"

"And my daughter, Anna." He says nodding to her, "I think you'll be surprised what a good team we make."

"Okay, get Stiles and Luisa." Scott says turning to Isaac "And then get to the root cellar, okay? We'll keep Jennifer away long enough for you to get them out of there."

"How are you gonna do that?"

"I have a plan."

______________________________________

Anna, Scott, and Deucalion walk up to an abandoned building. The wind rustling around them as they stop at the front.

"You said you had a plan." Deucalion says

"On the first day of class, Jennifer sent all of us a message. It was the last line from Joseph Conrad's heart of darkness. I got a message of my own to send her." Scott says

He pulls out his phone and leads the three of them to the wall that had a huge symbol clawed into it. He starts a video off by showing the symbol.

"You see this symbol? It's a symbol of revenge." He says. He then turns the camera to the three of them, "You talk about balance, about saving people. We know what you really want. And now you know where to find us."

He stops the video and sends it to Jennifer.

Anna stands next to her dad with her arms crossed over her chest. The stormed raged on outside as they waited for Jennifer to show up.

She sighs as she waits kicking the dirt under her feet. Deucalion's head tilts as Jennifer's silhouette shows up in the fog outside. Scott's eyes widen as another figure appears behind her.

Jennifer and Derek stand before them.

"What are you doing?" Scott says

"This might be hard to believe, but I'm actually trying to help you." Derek says

"Ooh, like brother against brother." Deucalion says, "How very American this is."

He picks up his stick and starts to fold it down, "Are you ready, Jennifer? Hmm? Did you gather your herbs, pray to your ancient gods and your oak trees, slit a baby's throat, perhaps?" He says as he takes off his jacket and tosses the items to the side.

"Should we show them why you needed to sacrifice nine innocent people just to face me?" He says as he approaches them. He morphs into his alpha form as he stops, "Or is it 12 now?"

Jennifer breathes heavily as she watches his eyes glow red. Deucalion growls before he lunges at her. Derek charges at him first. He swings, but Deucalion catches his arm. He swings his other arm, but Deucalion catches it and twists them both in.

Jennifer comes in and tries to use her powers to push Deucalion away, but falls short. Deucalion just looks over at her as she stares down at her hands in confusion. Just as she looks up, Deucalion grabs both of them by the throat raising them both off of their feet before throwing them to the ground.

Derek swings again, but Deucalion ducks and flings him across the room into a stack of old tires.

Jennifer runs at him again, but meets a backhand. Deucalion pushes her down and she groans as she hits the floor. He then grabs her and leads her to stand in front of Scott before she drops to her knees.

"Kill her." Deucalion growls, "Do it."

At Scott's hesitancy, Deucalion roars making Anna's eyes glow yellow. Scott drops to his knees as he unwillingly transforms into a wolf.

As he looks up at Deucalion, the man tilts his head, "Now kill her. Your parents are dying. That storm you hear, she's burying them alive. It's her connection to the telluric currents. Kill her, and it ends."

"It won't end. Not with me. He'll have you kill everyone you love. It's what he does." Jennifer says

"They're dying, Scott. Your mother and the parents of your best friends. Kill her now, and it's over. Become the alpha you're meant to be. Become a killer."

"They're not dead yet." Scott says

"And who's going to save them, your friends?"

Scott stands up, "My pack."

Ariane groans as she sits up. Her hand immediately goes to her forehead. Her fingertips come back red as she makes contact with blood. She sighs as she turns to her left.

Stiles laid there still unconscious along with Luisa. Ariane sits up and reaches back for her sister, "Luisa."

She gets no response before she turns to Stiles. She pushes at his shoulder as she calls his name repeatedly. The boy slowly comes to as he looks to the older girl.

"You okay?" She asks breathlessly. He doesn't answer as he sits up slowly. She reaches into the back again, "Luisa."

She turns back in her seat before opening the door. She stumbles out as she uses the door to hold herself up. She opens the back door and reaches for her sister. She pushes her hair out of her face, "Luisa."

Stiles stumbles out of the drivers side as he hears the continued calls come from Ariane.

As Stiles rounds the back of the car, Ariane pulls her sister out of the car. Stiles immediately helps carry her out as they set her on the ground.

"Luisa, come on." Ariane says as her heart starts to speed up. Ariane taps at her cheek before she brings her ear to her face.

"She's still breathing?" Stiles asks

"Yeah." Ariane says, "Luisa, come on, please."

Stiles stands there unsure of what to do. Ariane shakes her again as calls her name. Fortunately, Luisa gasps as she comes to. She coughs as Ariane and Stiles let out deep sighs. They help her sit up against the tire as she continues coughing.

"You're okay." Ariane reassures, "We're all okay."

Stiles nods as she looks up to him. Luisa continues to catch her breath. "We need to go find the nemeton."

"Are you sure you can even stand up?" Stiles asks

Luisa stays silent and just pushes herself up. Ariane keeps her hands out incase she falls forward. Luisa leans against the jeep.

"I'm okay." Luisa nods. She definitely had an immense headache and a few other injuries, but she couldn't worry about that right now. They needed to save the parents, "Come on."

They all stay close together as they continue on down the road in search of the nemeton.

Deucalion growls before he rushes to Scott. He grabs the back of his neck and keeps a tight grip on his arm.

"Maybe you just need a little guidance." He says as he leads him to Jennifer

"I forgot to tell you something." Scott strains, "Something that Gerard told me. "Deucalion... isn't always blind."

Anna looks down as Scott pulls something out of his pocket. She goes to snatch it from him, but is too late. He throws them onto the ground and she stumbles back at the bright light.

Derek and Scott cover their faces as Deucalion falls back. He swings his arms around as his sight vanishes.

As Anna's eyes finally open, the room is now brighter. More yellow than it was before, "The eclipse. It started."

"Oh, no." Scott mumbles

Jennifer was gone.
