Chapter 11
Third POV
That night two teens were running in the rain. The girl who was in the lead stumbled gripping the fence next to her for support. She attempted to catch her breath when she heard more footsteps behind her. Her brother came into the light.

He helped stand up fully and shoved her a little, getting her to begin moving. "Come on Lori go" He screamed. She nodded back at him squeezing her eyes shut for a minute then taking off at full speed again. The boy screamed as one of the arrows that were zipping by hit their mark, right in his shoulder. He ripped the arrow out dodging another one.

He ran forward as a man, an amateur assassin looking for money, came out from behind a bus. The man tried to punch the boy down. He did manage to get the boy on his knees but not totally taking down. The boy stood tackling the man and knocking him out. He looked up his eyes glowing a bright yellow color. The boy stood back up watching his sister make a turn into the lacrosse field.

"LORI WAIT" He yelled, running as fast as he could after her. He made it into the bleachers leaning against them as his sister ran further into the field.

"LORI STOP" She followed her brother's instructions grabbing his arm when he stood in front of her.

"Brett, Brett what's happening?" Lori said.

"Close your eyes" he ordered. She nodded squeezing her eyes shut.

Arrows began flying towards the two siblings. The only thing running through his mind hoping that he could save his sister. A sword sliced down cutting an arrow. Kira appeared smiling at the two. She blocked another arrow with her sword yelling. "RUN!!!" she continued blocking protecting herself and the pair of siblings.

Minho POV
Malia and I ran into the maze. I showed her the way Thomas would go until she picked up the scent running faster. I picked up my speed following her. We found him lying on the ground. "Thomas!!" I said running forward. He looked up watching us approach.

"What happened?" Malia asked.

Thomas sighed before sitting up slowly.

"Woah hold on a minute shank is that blood," I said looking at the front of his shirt.
Thomas sighed but lifted his shirt showing us some claw marks right where he was shot before. His scar had opened up causing more blood to all than just from the scratch marks.

"There aren't just grievers in here this time, they're experimenting with wolves," He said.

"Come on let's get you outta here," Malia said, putting one of his arms over her shoulder standing slowly with him. He grunted and blood poured faster now.

"Minho I don't feel so..." He started but got cut off when he slumped against my shoulder, his lead lolling forwards.

"Shuck," I said, picking up the pace. "Come on, the doors will be open again in 10 minutes and we have to be ready to go through.

We made it to the doors in like 8 minutes. Thomas had left a trail of blood along the way.

"Come on shank just a few more minutes and then we can bandage you up then lock you in the shuck pit so nothing else happens" I mumbled. Before Malia could respond the doors rumbled open. The sliding of stone on stone caused Malia to drop Thomas's arm to grip her ears.

I stumbled a little under the extra weight. Even with the added weight, I darted forward into the glade. Malia helped Thomas once the doors had stopped making noise. Newt, Derek, and Aiden met us at the doors. Derek and Aiden took Thomas out of our arms carrying him into the homestead with ease.

Newt rushed ahead grabbing all the supplies that had been left behind by the medjacks. They had left cloth and somehow we had antibiotics. I helped remove his shirt revealing the claw marks. Blood dripped down his chest the marks had been worse than I assumed.

Derek and Aiden stiffened when the marks were revealed.

"Please tell me there are wolves out in the maze," Derek said looking closer at the marks. He placed his hand near the marks spreading out his fingers. They noticed the lines were close to the same width apart.

"That wasn't a wolf was it," I said. Aiden shook his head.

"No, it was a werewolf or at least a were-something. I don't know who or how they have them-" Aiden got cut off by the sound of the box coming back up. Thomas got startled and woke up from the noise. He sat up with the help of Newt while the rest of us went to check out the box. Inside we saw Frypan. It looked as if something or someone had been put in there with bim but then taken out.

"Where's Gally and Isaac," Malia asked.

"Gally escaped but Isaac tho they gave him the serum saying they were curing him but something we didn't know was going on. They added something I guess it made his wolf go nuts he freaked out so they put him in the maze" He explained.

"Isaac scratched him," I said mumbling to myself but of course with most of the group being wolves with advanced hearing heard it.

"Next time those doors open I'll find Isaac, I'm pack and his alpha he'll listen to me," Derek said nodding his head at me.

"I'll lead you through. I know the maze better than anyone except Thomas. I ran that thing for three shuck years well it felt like three years to us at least" I said. Derek agreed. The next time those doors opened we would be in there searching for Isaac.

Scott POV

My phone rang waking me up from a nap. I saw it was Deaton calling me.

"Hello," I answered.

"Yes Scott I'm going to need you to come in today we have an unexpected problem" He explained. I sighed getting up and grabbing my bike helmet.

I drove the dirt bike as fast as I could getting to the vet's office. Inside I found Satomi, and two of her betas Brett and Lori along with Kira. I ran over to Kira connecting our lips. She smiled but we had to separate when a cough sounded. I ran my hand over the back of my neck.

    "We need a place to go every time we try to leave. There is another assassin out for our heads," Satomi said. 

    I nodded "I know a place that might help us". I led them all outside and to the old warehouse with the name Argent written in bold letters. Kira hugged my torso as she rode on the back of the bike. This was where we had found Kate after she had killed Violet when Garrett kidnapped Liam. Ya long story no time for that now. 

    I smelled Argent walking in. I turned to warn everyone that he was here but he wasn't going to hurt them but Brett flashed his eyes and his teeth lengthened and he ran away. 

    I bolted off after him. When I found him Argent had his weapon out pointed at the boy. 

    "Argent no wait stop!" I yelled. 

    "Scott what are you doing here" 

    "Well, we thought this would be a good place to hide out but the assassins are coming after us" I explained. 

    "They're probably already here and they won't stop until you're dead" Argent sighed, moving and getting out more of his supplies. Braeden strutted in then. 

    "Where's Derek," she asked.

    "He left, we had some problems and people in the pack got taken, he's with the other half of the pack helping get them back," Kira explained.

Then the shots started raining in some of us ducked and hid while others ran into battle. I darted off taking down the assassins as I went. I wasn't killing them but making sure they wouldn't be getting up anytime soon.

    I lost Kira in the fray so I went looking for her. 

    Aris POV
{Flashback 5ish hours}
    I listened to the tape again trying to find anything. Lydia had gone into another room trying to keep her mind off the tape. I was in the hospital after being punched and Melissa managed to get me a tape player. 

    I was let out when I was about halfway through the tapes so I plugged in earbuds and continued listening. We went to the sheriff's station hearing they had taken Merideth Walker in for questioning. I had to stop listening when we got there. 

    We walked in greeting the sheriff and Parrish. They led us into the observation room as Parrish went into questioning her. 

    "Why Merideth" 

    'It wasn't my idea" She said "I heard it from someone, I heard it from Peter Hale"

    "Get Peter here now," The sheriff said. Lydia nodded, pulling out her phone and calling the dreaded number. Peter showed up within 5 minutes. They led him in to talk with the girl. When he was sitting in front of her she reached out touching his face and mumbling about how he had healed all the marks were gone. 

    "You know what, we don't have time for this," Peter said, waving his hands, causing his claws to come out. Then he stalked over to Meredith, putting them into her neck. Parrish was about to rip them apart when Lydia burst into the room. 

    "NO, you can't!! It will kill them both!!" She screamed. Parrish nodded reluctantly backing down from his spot. 

    Soon the two came out of the trance-like state. Meredith gasped and went into a shock-like state. The sheriff pulled out his gun, aiming it at the wolf. 

    Peter chuckled, "You really think that would keep me dead"

    "I doubt a shot between the eyes would heal that quickly but why don't we test that theory? '' The sheriff said as Parrish pulled out his gun aiming it at Peter. Peter chuckled. 

    "And how are you gonna explain this to the higher-ups. A girl listens to the ramblings of a comatose wolf" Peter said making the Sheriff falter. Peter then walked out of the room and when Meridith tried to follow she was stopped by Parrish. 

    "No, it's not finished" She screamed repeating herself. 

    The pair of siblings left when they were no longer needed. They were in the car on their way home, when Aris plugged in his earbuds and began listening to the tape again.

    "Lydia, this wasn't taped at Eichen. I can hear the sound of a record player," I said. 

    "The lake house," She said, making a sharp turn. I grabbed onto the panic handle of her car as she sped away. Man and I thought Jorge was a reckless driver. 

    We ran into the record room trying to see if we could find anything on the records. Lydia sighed in frustration so I turned off the player. Lydia furrowed her eyebrows.
    'I thought you turned it off, 'she said. I nodded telling her I did. 

    "I can still hear it," She said. We looked at each other then went closer to the player. I found a cord connecting to the wall so naturally, I pulled it. The cord ripped up the wall as it got pulled. There was a line big enough for our fingers to fit through so we tore out the wall. Behind it was an ancient-looking computer. I don't think I've seen anything like this and I used to work in WCKD with Thomas, Teresa, and ... Rachel. He looked closer and noticed there was no screen but there was a keyhole. 

    "It uses a key," He pointed out to his sister.

    'Okay, so the ashes weren't really ashes the record player wasn't a record player, then maybe..." She trailed off looking at the floor where the wine was spilled when Liam had his first shift. "Maybe the wine wasn't really wine" She darted out of the room running down to the kitchen with Aris on her heels. 

    They found the wine that had an old label and shook the bottle. "There's something in it," Lydia said looking for a corkscrew. Aris snatched the bottle off the counter smashing it on the marble stone. The glass shattered. Without any thought, Aris shifted through the glass finding a key and running off upstairs. 

    He skidded to a stop on the carpet thrusting the key into the designated slot. He turned it and the ancient computer began to shut down. Lydia watched him with a smile. When the computer was shut off they knew the dead pool was over and they could go search for their friends.

    Scott POV
I had run into Breaden and saved Brett and Lori before I found Kira and made sure she was fine. Then a man tried to fire at Kira from behind. I wasn't having that happen so I grabbed the man and slammed him onto one of the old desks. Before I could even register that I needed to stop I felt something change in me. The man gained a new terrified look as he gazed at my face. 

    For a good amount of time, I was going to kill him. The ringing of a text sounded in my ears. It knocked me out of the crazy feeling letting me gain some control of myself again. I reached into his pocket pulling out his phone. I looked at the man as I did. I saw blood on his face and dripping out of his mouth. 

    If I hadn't have stopped when I did he would be dead. I looked away from the man turning on the phone seeing a text from the benefactor. 

    'All assets terminated, ' I said, turning the phone around. I threw the phone at him and moved off him. I shifted back to my human form as I heard cheers ring through the Argent warehouse.
    Kira ran at me hugging me before she grabbed my face and kissed me. I smiled at her and knew we had won and we were going to be okay. I saw Liam off to the side looking tired but completely fine. He was standing with Brett and Lori. I smiled at them. 

    "Come on Liam now we gotta go find my best friend," I said walking out of the warehouse.
