"Amara?"

"We just came from his place. Half of his stuff was gone. You can't let him leave." Amara said the second Stilinski answered the phone both while Lydia drove. "It's okay. I got a call from dispatch- he's headed for the highway." Stilinski said and Lydia sighed, "Can you stop him?"

"Stopping him is one thing. Getting him to turn around...?" He said and Amara and Lydia looked at each other, "Leave that to us." Lydia said.

Parrish, who is speeding down the road until suddenly, he runs over a spike strip making him stop. He gets out of his car to inspect his tires and sighed in frustration just before police sirens are heard from up on the overpass. Just then, Stilinski walks down the hill toward Parrish, who only gets more frustrated.

"I don't remember giving you any vacation time." Stilinski said and Parrish groaned, "Those were new tires!" He said and Stilinski shrugged. "Well, they're scrap rubber now. How about I call a tow for you?" Stilinski suggested and Parrish
sighed and rolled his eyes as he turns back to his car to grab his phone.

"I'll call one myself." He said but before he could do anything Lydia pulled up making him groan as she and Amara climbed out the car. "You're all out of your minds! You know that?" He asked and Amara shrugged, "You can't leave." She said making him look at her.

"I can't stay! I'm a Hellhound. I have the word "Hell" in my name! Hell!" He said and Stilinski gives him a hard look, "You're also one of my best deputies." He said and Parrish shook his head. "You guys don't get it! The bodies I see in my dream are because of me. And there's gonna be more- a lot more." Parrish said and Lydia shrugged.

"I've been predicting death longer than you. The things I've seen and felt? They don't always happen." She said and Amara nodded in agreement, "And I dont know if you remember but... I have the same dreams except I'm burning them." Amara said.

"What if those people die because you didn't stay?" Stilinski asked and Amara nodded, "Because you weren't there to help me protect them." She said. Parrish sighed once again, but it's clear that he's affected by what they were saying.

"You said you were drawn to Beacon Hills. I think you're here for a reason." Lydia said and Amara nodded in agreement, "Get your ass in the car, Jordan. Before I drag you by your hair." Amara said before walking over to the passenger side of her car, Lydia walking over to the driver side.

"Hey-" Stilinski said making Parrish look at him before he tossed something. Parrish catches the object and holds it up, revealing that it's his Deputy Sheriff badge making him sigh.

"My dad's got an APB out." Stiles said as he, Amara, Malia, Kira, Lydia and Liam stood around the kitchen table. "For a 5'8" sixteen-year-old?" Amara asked and Stiles nodded slightly, "I recommended nine-foot-tall rampaging werewolf..." Stiles trailed off slightly.

"It still might not be him..." Liam said and they all look over at him sympathetically making him sigh softly, "...But, Hayden's at the school looking." He said. "I can keep checking the woods." Malia suggested and before anyone could say anything Scott walked into the kitchen.

"My mom can check all the hospitals in the county." Scott said making everyone turn to face him, looking surprised and relieved that he's healed and seemingly fine after what happened at the school last night. "We can find him." He said as he walked up to the table, "What happens then?" Liam asked. "We figure out a way to save him." Scott said making Liam smile softly and nod.

"Okay. Where else could we look?" Lydia asked and Amara shrugged slightly, "I have an idea." She said making them look over at her with raised eyebrows. "Let's just ask Corey." She suggested and looked over towards a bookshelf making Scott reach out and grab Corey by the shirt making him become visible.

"Wait! Wait! It's not my fault! They took him, and I couldn't do anything. They took him!" Corey said frantically making Scott furrow his brows, "Who?" He asked and Corey sighed.

"The Dread Doctors."

Parrish and Amara climb out of Parrish's car at the preserve, where they walk over to the Nemeton. He hesitantly reaches out his hand to touch the top of the stump before looking at Amara who gave him a reassuring nod. "You can still save them. You can save them all." She said as she went stepped onto the Nemeton.

The second her foot touched the Nemeton it seemed to trigger something within the two of them and the Nemeton, as they both suddenly struck by a vision of Parrish walking toward the stump with a body at some point during the night. He stepped onto the Nemeton and laid the body down in front of Amara's feet. They both look down at the body Parrish had just set down to see Lydia with her throat clawed out.

They both snap back to the present and look at each other with wide eyes before looking back at the Nemeton. The rings of the Nemeton's stump start to glow orange, the same color as Parrish's Hellhound eyes.

"Still nothing from Scott and Liam." Stiles says as he walked into Stilinski's office where Stilinski, Amara and Lydia stood. "Are we really sure this is a good idea?" Lydia asked and Amara shook her head, "Nobody thinks this is a good idea." She said and Stiles nodded in agreement.

"But you're trusting Theo anyway?" Stilinski asked and Amara rabidly shook her head, "We're not trusting him. We're using him." She said and Lydia raised her eyebrows. "What if he's using us?" She asked and Stiles pursed his lips, "That's probably a given. But look- we're just trying to cover every place Mason could show up." He said.

"Malia and Braeden are at Scott's house."

"Melissa's got the hospital."

"Hayden and Corey are at the school."

"Somebody's got to find them." Stilinski said and Amara sighed slightly, "Let's hope they find Mason and not the Beast..." She said making them all look at each other with a worried look.

A little while later Stiles hung up his call with Melissa and looked over at Amara who had just got off the phone with her mom. "My mom's with Argent, following Parrish. We should probably go see if Lydia found anything yet." She said and he nodded. Amara walked over to the door and Stiles followed as he looks down at his phone only to end up accidentally running into the wall before looking at the wall in offense as Amara started laughing.

"He'll be fine." Lydia said into the phone as she rolled her eyes at the two before walking off.

Amara and Lydia walked back into Stilinski's office from the bullpen to find Stiles sprawled out asleep on his couch, his left leg propped up on the back of the couch in a way that causes his foot to smash the mini-blinds covering the windows.

Lydia looks at him in exasperation and Amara chuckled for a moment before poking him in the forehead with her index finger. Stiles awakens with a gasp and reflexively scrambles into a seated position, still disoriented from being awakened so quickly. "Mmm, what? What happened? Who's dead?" Stiles asked and Lydia rolled her eyes, "No one."

"Well, not yet at least." Amara said as she sat down next to Stiles and Lydia sat next to her. They all check their phones only to sigh when they see they haven't gotten any updates from anyone yet. "You guys okay?" Lydia asked and Stiles and Amara glanced at each other and nodded slightly.

"Yeah. I'm still thinking. Still trying to figure out... Why Mason? I mean, he wasn't even on the genetic chimera list." Stiles said and then Melissa walked into the office, "He is now." She said making them look over at her as she walked over and set a folder down on the desk.

"Mason was born with twin embolization syndrome." Melissa said as the three teenagers walked over. "You mean fetal resorption?" Lydia asked and Melissa nodded making Amara raise her eyebrows, "He had a vanishing twin in utero?" She asked making Melissa look over at her.

"Which accounts for two sets of DNA." Melissa said making Amara and Lydia look at each other while Stiles looks at them both with an exasperated and impatient look for a moment before he interjects.

"Can someone please say it with words that have less than three syllables?" He asked and Amara sighed, "He ate his twin." She said making Stiles look repulsed. "But did it help?" Lydia asked and Melissa shrugged, "I don't know. But it's just bizarre enough to sound like it might be important, right?"

"It has to help. There has to be something."

Scott and Liam flies across the room, one after the other, and they land tangled up in a pile just as the Beast rips out the Geneticist's throat, leaving her twitching and bleeding out on the ground before she dies. Theo watches in horror as the Beast lifts the Pathologist up in the air in a choke-hold before literally ripping his head off and allowing it to roll across the room until it lands at the boys' feet.

As the Beast backhands Theo so hard he's thrown backward into the staircase the Beast corners the Surgeon, who makes his final observation, "Success." The Beast roars and shoves his hand in the Surgeon's abdomen before dragging him outside, causing the overwhelmed Scott and Liam to follow after them.

The boys make it outside just in time to see the Beast drop the Surgeon on the ground before Parrish, who is on fire and in full Hellhound-mode, leaps forward and punches the Beast in the chest. Immediately afterward, gunshots are heard as Gerard and Argent appear, the former shooting with a shotgun and the latter using a handgun as they pump the Beast full of bullets.

The gunfire eventually causes the Beast to turn back into a human, but everyone in the vicinity is shocked and horrified when they see that the human is not Mason, but Sebastien, the original Beast. "La Bรชte du Gรฉvaudan!" Gerard said making Sebastien turn back and sneers at Gerard, who looks smug, "I know your name. Do you remember mine?"

Sebastien's already unimpressed expression turns to that of absolute loathing. "Argent." Sebastien sneers before running away as fast as he can, and Scott and Liam, who have no idea what is going on, look at Argent with incredulous expressions. "Who the hell was that?" Scott asked and Gerard smirked slightly, "You've seen the Beast of Gรฉvaudan. That was the Man."

"Sebastien Valet."
