Ariane's steps are quick as she walks into the hospital. Melissa looks up from her seat at the desk and quickly makes her way around to the girl, "You got the call from Deaton?"

"Yeah." She says walking alongside the woman down the hall

"Have you ever heard of anything like this?"

"It sounds like the wolves were infected with something rather than poisoned." Ariane says, "Hopefully Braeden saw something before she got hurt."

Melissa pushes the door open and walks past Derek who sat up in his seat, "What's that?"

"Naloxone. We need to wake her up." Melissa says injecting a liquid in Braeden's IV.

"I thought you said she needed to rest."

"That was before I found out the CDC just put the high school under quarantine with Scott, Stiles, and Luisa still in there."

Braeden gasps as she sits up in the bed. As she looks around, Melissa lowers her head in front of her, "Braeden, look at me. You were shot, but you're in the hospital now and you're fine. Do you understand?" Braeden nods, "Good. Okay. Last night you were in the woods and you came across another pack? Do you know what happened to them?"

"I told you, they were poisoned." Derek says

"No. No, they were infected. It was a virus designed to kill werewolves. It did. It killed them all."

"Kira, do you ever get the feeling that Scott and Stiles aren't telling you everything?" Malia asks

"What do you mean?"

"Like they hide stuff."

"I think if they did, they'd probably have a pretty good reason." Kira smiles as she looks towards Luisa. Malia turns to Luisa who smiles awkwardly before Malia turns back to Kira.

Malia sighs, "Do you know what they're hiding in the bag under Scott's bed?"

"What? No, I've never been under Scott's bed. Or in it. Just on it... Wearing clothes." Kira rambles

"Are you sure you wanna know what a teenage boy has under his bed?" Adrian grimaces

"Kira Yukimura." The doctor says as the girl steps up, "You feeling all right, Kira?" Kira nods with a tight smile, "I don't like needles either. I promise, it'll be fast."

As the woman brings the needle to Kira's skin, electricity crackles making the woman jump back. The others doctors rush over as Kira backs away.

"Kira." Luisa whispers grabbing the girls arm

"Kira!" Malia says louder as they pull the girl away with Adrian trailing behind them

"What the hell was that?" Adrian asks

"I don't know." Kira says as they turn the corner. The girls stop abruptly as Stiles appears in front of them.

"Oh, perfect. We need to go. Now." He says rushing down the hall

"What? Go where?" Luisa asks

"Scott can't stop his shifting." He says

"What?"

"Yeah. Which means it'll probably start happening to Malia."

"It's already started." Malia says

The teens turn to her as she holds up her hands showing her claws. Stiles raises his brows, "Great."

He pushes the door to the locker room open. The girls follow him toward the lockers. Scott looked up from his place on the bench. Mr. Yukimura sighs, "It's still happening."

"I can't make them go back." Malia says showing her hands again

"Obviously the virus is affecting the two of you in a way it won't hit any human being."

"You guys have to stay out of sight. We have to quarantine you from the quarantine." Stiles says

"Yeah, but where? I mean, what if they get violent? Like on a full moon." Kira asks

"We shouldn't stay in here. Not in the locker room." Scott says

"A classroom is not going to hold us." Malia says

"What about the basement?" Luisa suggests

"Too many ways out. We need something secure. Somewhere nobody can find us." Scott says shaking his head

"The vault." Stiles says, "The Hale vault."

"The Hales always have an escape route. Like their house. There has to be another way in." Scott says

•••

The teens surrounded Coach's desk as Mr. Yukimura rolled out the map of the school grounds. Stiles points, "This is where the school sign is, so the vault's got to be right about here."

"I suppose if there's a second entrance, it would probably be accessible from the basement." Mr. Yukimura says

"It's probably somewhere in this hallway. Or this corridor." Stiles mutters as he loses his step. Luisa quickly catches him, "Whoa."

He rolls up his sleeve showing off the rash growing on his wrist.

"It's happening to you too. You're getting sick. You all are." Mr. Yukimura says

"I feel fine." Luisa says

"Me too." Adrian nods

"For now." He says, "Unfortunately, it seems like it'll happen eventually."

"I don't feel sick." Kira says

"I think it's affecting you differently, neurologically. I found your test answers here in a pile with the others." He says pulling her paper out. All of her answers had been shaded in outside of the actual circle. The girl looks up toward everyone with wide eyes.

The teens rush down the steps to the basement. As Scott turns into the basement, he catches sight of Anna sitting up against a wall, "Anna?"

The girl looks up as the others pile in. Luisa's steps slow, "Did you know about the vault?"

"What vault?" She says standing up, "I came down here so I didn't wolf out on anybody."

"So it's happening to you too." Stiles says

Anna bares her teeth at them showing off her canines. She then lifts her hands showing her claws before her hands fall back down, "I feel like shit."

"Yeah, we're all going to." Scott says looking around, "Okay, just look for some sort of entrance. Anything out of the ordinary."

The teens quickly dispersed around the room. It had only been a few minutes before Stiles called out to them, "Hey, guys... Over here." He pushes the shelf out of the way before turning toward them, "Look at the cracks in the wall. It's like the entrance outside, it only opens with claws. Anyone's claws, right?"

Scott quickly catches on and looks to Malia, "Um... Malia, can you try?"

"Why me?"

"I don't have control." Scott says holding his hands up

Malia turns to Anna. The girl frowns, "You're closer."

"Okay. I'll do it. But first tell me what you've been hiding from me." Malia says. Luisa's eyes widen as she turns to Kira. Stiles immediately begins to stammer, "I know you think you're trying to protect me, but I can handle it."

Scott and Stiles look to each other as Malia shrugs, "I know I'm on the list."

Luisa sighs as Kira's shoulders fall. Stiles nods looking toward Scott, "Yes..."

Malia nods, "So how much?"

"How much what?"

"How much am I worth?"

"Four million." Scott says

Stiles steps up as Malia looks down, "Are you okay?"

"Yeah. Scott's worth 25, Anna, 10, Kira, six. They'll take you guys out way before me." Malia nods

Anna frowns as Stiles looks around, "That's progress. That's progress."

The boys step aside as Malia steps up to the wall. She sticks her claws into the cracks and twists before pushing. She steps back as the wall slides open revealing the vault. The teens take slow steps in before the door shuts behind them.
