Amara's outfit:

Chapter Seventy-One
🌒 The Last Chimera 🌘

Amara sat in the back seat, leaning forward between the front seats while Makena sat in the passenger seat of Parrish's car as he calls Deputy Clark, whose at the Sheriff's station. "What are you talking about?" Clark asked and Parrish glanced at Makena and Amara, "I can't say how I know, but Lydia Martin is missing." He said.

"Parrish, you're missing. And some people here are really confused by your behavior, me included..." Clark said and Parrish sighed, "I know, and I'm going to try to explain it... But I need you to find whoever's available-" Parrish said but Clark cuts him off.

"Parrish, no one's available! Do you have any idea what's going on? The high school sign somehow ended up in one of the hallways; the library is completely wrecked; there might be a prehistoric animal running around the streets, and I am starting to seriously consider a transfer." Clark stressed and Parrish sighed, momentarily glancing at Makena and Amara again.

"Okay, listen- I promise, I'm gonna explain what I can later. But right now, I've got to find Lydia." Parrish said as he pulled into the woods, "Parrish-" Clark went to say but Parrish cut her off this time, "I have to find her." He said and hung up.

"We dont need anyone else." Amara said making Parrish glance at her confused, "What do you mean?" He asked and she shook her head slightly. "We're three supernatural creatures, we can find her. I'll turn into a wolf if I have too." She said as he stopped the car.

They all looked at each other for a moment before nodding. Amara handed her mom a  duffel bag before the three of them climbed out the car. After a while of searching they stopped for a moment when Parrish's flashlight goes out making Amara and Makena sigh before realization slowly crossed over Makena's features.

"Deputy, do you have a flare?" She asked and Parrish nodded, "Yeah." He said before pulling out a flare and handing it to her. "What are you doing?" Amara asked as Makena ignited the flare, "Testing something." She said. Without warning,
Makena held the flare up to Parrish's face making Parrish back up slightly.

All of the sudden Parrish went into a trance like state as he eyes started glowing a fiery-orange. He started walking in some random direction making Amara and Makena glance at each other before following him.

When they finally find the clearing near the Nemeton, Parrish's trance broke. Amara glanced around before noticing Lydia laying motionless on the ground making her quickly run over to her.

"Lydia?" Amara asked as she gently grabbed Lydia's face, trying to wake her off. "Guys..." Parrish said making Amara and Makena look over at him as he held up Lydia's hand where her index and middle fingernails have been broken off.

🌘

"Scott, wake up. Scott-" Amara said as she lightly shook Scott who was laying on the floor in the hallway. He woke up and Amara helps him onto his hands and knees so he can sit up. His chest wound has already bled through the new bandage Scott put on it, causing a red stain to bloom on his white shirt making her furrow her brows.

"Are you okay?" She asked and he nodded, "Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine." Scott and she just raised her eyebrows, looking at the growing stain on Scott's shirt. "You're bleeding, you should be healed by now." She said making him look down before covering the spot with his jacket, "It's not that bad." He said and that's when he notices Parrish and Makena crouched down next to her and the slightly panicked look on Amara's face.

"Why are you guys here? What's wrong?" Scott asks and Parrish, Makena and Amara glance at each other, "We need your help." Parrish said making Scott look at them confused. "With what?"

"With her." Amara says and stands up and steps aside to reveal the catatonic Lydia, who is standing at the top of the staircase. Her head is lolling on her shoulder as she stares blankly ahead, and its obvious by the sight of her that her body is only working on "autopilot" at this point. Scott, horrified by her condition, begins to worry about Lydia's well-being as he turns back to the grim-looking Parrish, Makena and Amara.

"We found her out in the woods. She was practically hypothermic." Makena said and Parrish nodded, "That wasn't even the worse part." Parrish said and Amara held up Lydia's hand to show he finger nails were all bloody. "She had carved something with her fingers into a rock." Amara said, "It's a badge. It's a Sheriff's badge, one that belongs to the Sheriff whose in the hospital."

"...It's a warning."

🌒

Scott and Amara frantically push open the double doors at the entrance to the hospital's emergency room, holding them open for Parrish, who is holding Lydia's now-unconscious body in his arms with Makena following.. "I need someone to help us! Quick! We've got an eighteen-year-old female, potentially hypothermic." Makena said as some nurses rush over with a gurney and Parrish sets Lydia down on it.

Scott runs over to the elevator while Amara and Makena stood by Parrish and Lydia. Amara looked up briefly and connects eyes with Scott and nodded slightly making him nod back as the doors of the elevator closes.

Scott walked into a hall and see Stiles talking to Melissa and Dr. Geyer through a door, "What do you mean, "You don't know?" Two hours ago, he was fine! Now it looks like somebody took a baseball bat to his neck." Stiles stressed. "There could've been some minor internal-" Dr. Geyer tried to explain but Stiles cut him off.

"Did you say "minor internal?" Since when is anything internal minor?"

"Stiles-"

"I need to know what's going on with him, okay? Dr. Geyer, somebody needs to tell me what's happening. Somebody needs to tell me what's happening to him!"

"We don't know..."

Just as Stiles is prepared to argue with the doctor further, the elevator at the end of the hall dings, and he looks up to see that Scott has just stepped out and was looking through the window of Stilinski's door. Stiles immediately forgets all about his argument with Dr. Geyer in favor of lunging toward Scott and yelling at him as he grabs him by the front of the shirt and slams him against the wall.

Scott does nothing to defend himself and allows Stiles to tackle him onto the ground without interference. Stiles slams Scott's back against the linoleum floor and pins him down, "Where were you!? You trusted him? You believed him? Right? Huh? So, WHERE WERE YOU?"

Melissa and Dr. Geyer waste no time rushing over to the two, with Dr. Geyer yanking Stiles off of Scott while Melissa helps her son to his feet.

Stiles struggles against Dr. Geyer's hold and attempts to lunge for Scott again, still yelling, "Where the hell were you???"

"Stop it!"

The second Stiles, realizing he's making a scene, stops attempting to break free from Dr. Geyer's grip, though he's still furious. Scott looks at Stiles with an apologetic expression, visibly hurt by Stiles' anger as well as feeling guilty for what happened to Sheriff Stilinski. "Your dad's not the only one who got hurt-" Scott said and Stiles scoff, "Oh, you'll heal!"

"I'm not talking about me." Scott said making Stiles look at him for a moment.

A second later Stiles runs out of the elevator to see Natalie trying to push Amara out a room. "I know who did this! You! All of you! Get out!" Natalie yelled as Amara looked up at her, shocked. "You know about all of this... Dont you?" Amara asked and Natalie took a deep breath and didn't say anything making Amara scoff.

"You know about everything but you still want to blame us? You really thing I'd do something like this to her? To her of all people?" Amara asked as she grabbed onto the door way, not caring if people were looking.

"All I know is that the second she started hanging out with you and your friends, she's constantly getting hurt! No more, Amara." Natalie said and a Amara looked at her with glossy eyes as Stiles slowly walked up to the room. "Why wont you just listen to me? She would." Amara said and Natalie just grabbed Amara's hands making her let go of the door way, "Just go."

"Just- look at the back of her neck!" Amara said as Natalie finally managed to push her fully out of the room before slamming the door shut.

Stiles instantly walked over to her as she turned around and he quickly grabbed her arm. "I don't want lose her too." She said in a slight whisper and he nodded, "I know." He said before pulling her into a hug.

🌘

"It could be a side effect of shock." Parrish said as him, Amara, Stiles, Scott, Makena and Melissa stood around in the morgue. "No, she's catatonic. It was Theo digging his way through her mind." Amara said, "Why would he do that? What is he looking for?" Melissa asked.

"The same thing he's always looking for- an advantage." Scott said, "So what did he gain by trying to kill Stilinski?" Makena asked and Scott sighed. "It left me alone with Liam. Theo wanted to make sure no one would be there to stop him from... killing me." He said and Stiles scoffed.

"Okay, so he gutted my dad as a distraction?" He asked and Amara sighed and gently grabbed his shoulder. "We need to find this kid." Parrish said and Amara nodded, "Yes please, I'd like to show him that I'm my father's daughter."

"Isn't that a little dangerous? Especially since he almost killed my kid?" Melissa asked and Stiles sighed slightly, "Yeah, but he said he didn't want my dad to die." Stiles said and Makena raised her eyebrows. "And you believe him?"

"He was going to tell me where to find him... So, maybe he also knows how to save him." Stiles said shrugging, "What do you want to do? Talk to him?" Melissa asked. "If it saves my dad, then yeah." Stiles said and Scott nodded slightly, "I'll come with you. He doesn't know that I'm alive- maybe that gives us an advantage."

"He'll know you're there. I just need to talk to him, not fight him." Stiles said and went to walk away but Amara grabbed the back of his shirt making him stop. "Stiles, you can't go alone." Amara said shaking her head, "Does anyone even know how to find him?" Parrish asked. "We don't have to find him- he'll come to me." Stiles said before walking out.

A few minutes later Amara and Parrish stood in the elevator. "Have you told your mom yet?" Parrish asked making her look at him with a cocked eyebrow, "Told her what?" She asked. "About how you're gonna try to be a PI." He said and she sighed softly, "Not yet, there's kind of been a lot going on lately." She said and he nodded slightly before the doors opened.

"Just two signatures, Ms. Martin." Dr. Fenris says quickly when he heard the elevator ding and Parrish call out to Natalie. "I promise I'll look after her personally." He said and Natalie nodded as she sighed the papers. "She'll be safe there." He said and the second she sighed the last thing he walked off.

"What did you just sign?" Amara asked as she and Parrish walked up to Natalie, "She'll be safe there." Natalie said slightly dazed making Amara look at Parrish alarmed. "Natalie... What the hell did you just do?" Amara asked and Natalie gave Amara and Parrish a hard look, "I did what I had to do." She said making Amara's eyes widen.

"You signed her into Eichen house? Hold on- Let me get this straight. You signed your daughter into the place, where an orderly killed your mother-in-law? For gods sake, I'm pretty sure the guy who runs the front desk is fucking sex offender!" Amara yelled, ignoring the strange looks people sent her way.

"Amara." Parrish said trying to get her to calm down but she just stared at Natalie who wouldn't look at her. "She's catatonic. She needs doctors, not a fucking mental asylum." Amara said making Natalie look at her, "This was the best option for her, Amara." She said before walking into Lydia's room.

Amara stared at the door as tears threated to fall while Parrish sighed softly and grabbed her shoulder and turned to him before bringing her into a hug.

🌒

"You gotta get up now. Stiles. Stiles." Scott said as he gently shook Stiles who got knocked out after Theo pushed him down into the stairs. A second later Stiles jerks awake, and Scott, relieved, holds out his hand to help Stiles up.

"Are you okay? Are you hurt?" Scott asked worriedly and Stiles sits up and swats Scott's proffered hand away in annoyance, "I'm fine." He said before getting up himself. "You blacked out..." Scott said and Stiles sighed in annoyance, "I'm okay. Did you get anything from him?" He asked and Scott sighed and shook his head. "Nothing. He was calm the entire time."

"What about his heart?" Stiles asked and Scott nodded slightly, "I heard it jump, but only once, and only for a second." Scott said. "That doesn't mean he was lying." Stiles said and Scott shook his head, "Not really. The rest of the time it was steady." He said.

"When did it jump? What was I talking about?" Stiles asked and Scott thought for a moment, "It was when you said that your dad was poisoned." He said and Stiles glanced at him. "That could be something. A jump could mean surprise, right?" He asked and Scott nodded, "Yeah. Yeah, I think so."

"So, why would he be surprised that my dad's still dying?" He asked and Scott  thought for a second, "He didn't say that he was the one who attacked your dad, did he?" He asked and Stiles shook his head, "No, then this means it was probably someone else..." Stiles said.

"Another Chimera." Scott said before Amara walked in and leaned against the door frame. "Where's Theo?" She asked and Stiles raised his eyebrows, "Why?" He asked and she shrugged slightly. "I want to burn him alive." Amara said and Scott furrowed his brows, "Whar happened?" He asked and Amara sighed softly.

"Natalie put Lydia into Eichen House." She said making Scott and Stiles glance at each other for a moment.

A few minutes later Amara and Stiles climb into a car as Scott runs over and try's to open the door but it's locked. "Stiles-" Scott goes to say but Stiles cuts him off, "We can do the rest ourselves." He says and Scott is clearly hurt by Stiles' dismissive behavior. Amara just glanced between the two of them, feeling like she was a kid having to watch her parents get divorced.

"You don't even know where to start. All we know is that it's another Chimera. Do you even know where you're headed?" Scott asked and Stiles just starts the car, "Come on, let me help. I can find the clues that you can't." Scott says. Stiles just rolls his eyes slightly and goes to move forward but Scott jumps in front of the car making Amara's eyes widen.

"Hey! If you're dumbass gets ran over, I feel it too!"

"You can't do this alone, okay? You need me. You need all of us." Scott says and Amara looked over at Stiles who wouldn't look at Scott, "I can get more help. I can text Liam." Scott said making Stiles squint at him. "Liam just tried to kill you." Stiles said and Scott sighed, "Okay, then at least let me help."

Stiles look at Scott with an expression of betrayal, "You believed him?" Stiles asked and Scott gives him a half apologetic, and half-knowing look. "You trusted him, too. Theo got to all of us." Scott said making Amara scoff and look at him like he was stupid, "I didn't!"

"You know, you don't even know the real story." Stiles muttered, "I don't need to. All that matters right now is your dad." Scott said and Stiles didn't say anything, just looked over at Amara who just shrugged slightly. "Come on, Stiles. We survived an Alpha Pack, a Dark Druid, professional assassins... We can survive Dread Doctors and Chimeras, too." Scott said and then realization crossed over Stiles's features.

"We're not looking for a missing Chimera... We're looking for a missing teenager." He says and then the sound the doors unlocking made him look over at Amara who shrugged. "I was feeling very awkward having to watch my best friends divorce." She said as Scott quickly ran over and opened the back door before Stiles could lock it again.

🌒

"There was a call a few hours ago about a sophomore from Beacon Hill High who never came home last night." Stiles said as they stood around his crime board. "What's his name?" Amara asked, looking over at him, "Noah Patrick." He said and then they looked at the list of genetic chimeras that the Sheriff's Department created to see "Noah Patrick" second on the list.

A few minutes later the three of them walk into the school and went straight over to Noah's locker. Amara grabbed the lock and broke it off before opening the locker and pulled out a jacket. "Now we can catch his scent." Scott said before Amara turned around, tossing the jacket to Malia who walked up to them.

"You called her?" Stiles asked, awkwardly glancing at Malia while Amara nodded. "We need all the help that we can get. I should be calling everyone." She said and Malia nodded slightly, "And I know what this kid looks like." She said and Stiles awkwardly looked away from them.

🌒

They ran into the railway depot and Stiles and Amara hung back a bit while Scott and Malia talked. After a moment Malia suddenly stopped as there was a gush of wind."I got it. I got his scent!" Malia said and Scott, Amara and Stiles share a look before they follow Malia as she rushes through the tunnels.

"This is Noah's. He was here. I think he's close." Malia said after they found some blood on a pipe. "Guys..." Scott said making them all look over at him as he look down another hall of the tunnels, "I think we've been down tunnels like this before. Like, when we were trying to find Liam and Hayden." Scott said. "Okay, so what?" Stiles asked as they walked over to Scott.

"Maybe it means we're closer than we think. Maybe there's something else down here- something that we haven't found yet." Scott said and Stiles looked at him slightly crazy, "Yeah, nothing that helps my dad. Look, we can't just be standing around here waiting for something to-"

Suddenly, before Stiles can finish his statement, a shadowy figure lunges at Stiles, shoving him so hard that he flies backward and hits his head on the far wall, which once again knocks him slightly unconscious. Amara shot forward grabbing the person who hit Stiles by the back of their shirt before slamming them into the wall with her forearm presses to their throat.

"Try anything and I'll burn you." Amara warned making the guy freeze slightly. Malia steps up behind Amara with her fangs out, growling. Noah looked back and forth between the two girls terrified. "Let me go, please! Please! They're coming!" Noah begged.

Amara looked over at Scott and a now awake Stiles just as the skittering, clicking noise of the Dread Doctors can be heard in the adjacent halls, indicating that they are getting closer and closer to where they are. Amara sighed before letting the kid go and he instantly took off. But then Stiles aggressively grabs him by the front of the shirt and pins Noah to the nearby wall by putting his
