Chapter Sixty-Seven
🎭 Stange Frequencies 🎭

"Do you know him?" Theo asked as they stood around the body in the animal clinic. "His name's Josh. He was a junior." Scott said and Wren sighed softly before pulling the sheep back over the body. "Which one did it? The one with the cane?" Scott asked making Stiles and Theo glance at each other for a moment, "Yeah." Theo said.

"What are we going to do with him? We can't just set the alarm and leave, that's how Tracy disappeared." Stiles asked and no one answered right away, "Someone's got to stay here with him." Wren said and Stiles nodded in agreement. 

"I'll do it." Theo said making them look over at him, "It's not like I had a big Saturday night planned." Theo said and then Wren's phone went off making her pull it out to see a text from Liam. "What is it?" Stiles asked and she looked up, "I texted Liam earlier to test to see if Hayden is a chimera. Whatever Lydia and I heard was right. We got another Chimera."

🎭

"Hayden...? It's Scott. I know that you're scared, but we just... We want to help." Scott asked after knocking on his bathroom door, "I can hear her heart beating- she's really freaked out. What happened?" Scott asked turning to Liam. "She was okay when we got here. I went to text you for two seconds and she locked herself in."

"Why?" Stiles asked and Liam shrugged, "I don't know." He said. "She's definitely a Chimera?" Scott asked and Liam nodded, "She said she heard a voice saying Your condition improves." Liam said making them all glance at each other and sigh.

"Okay, that's unsettling..." Stiles said before stepping up to the door, "Hayden? This is Stiles. Your sister works for my dad down at the station? Look, just open the door. You can trust us." Stiles said but Hayden didn't say anything or open the door making him step back.

"We just need to tell you the truth, Hayden... And that kind of thing is usually better face-to-face." Scott said but yet again Hayden didn't do anything making them sigh. "Let me try." Wren said before stepping up to the door.

"Hayden, it's Wren. If you just come out we'll explain everything to you. It's okay if you don't want to talk right now, or if you're not ready to believe us. But we gotta know that you're okay in there." Wren said and then looked back at the guys. A second later the door unlocks and opens a bit.

Wren slowly pushed it open to reveal Hayden standing there. But her eyes were glowing a bright yellow, her teeth and turned into canines and her hands where now sporting a set if claws.

"I believe you..."

🎭

"We're back to telluric currents?" Stiles asked as he, Scott and Wren stood around a map on the table in the school library. "If the Dread Doctors didn't like coming into Eichen House because of them, maybe we can use them to protect Hayden." Scott said and Wren nodded.

"Okay, so besides Eichen, where's the strongest convergence?" Stiles asked and Scott pointing at the map, "We're standing on it." Scott said making Wren raise her eyebrows at him. "You want to hide her in the high school? For how long?" She asked and he looked up at her, "If we have to... All night."

"Liam convinced Hayden not to say anything to her sister yet. She's working a double tonight, and she thinks Hayden's staying at a friend's." Scott said and Stiles squinted his eyes slightly, "But it's just a school, though, you know? It's not exactly a fortress."

"Lydia's got an idea for that. Remember how Valack quoted Tesla?" Scott asked and Wren nodded, "Frequency and vibration." She said making him look at her and nod. "She thinks he wasn't just saying that to sound smart- she thinks maybe it was a clue." Scott said.

"To do what?" Stiles asked and realization crossed over Wren's features, "To disrupt their frequency." She said and Scott nodded. "Parrish took three cell phone jammers from the station. He thinks they can broaden their range of frequency. It's a long shot, but it's the best we've got right now."

🎭

"What's going on?" Theo asked as Stiles and Wren walked into the animal clinic and Stiles walked right past him. "Whoever's stealing the bodies probably isn't going to do it while we're standing guard over one of them." Stiles said and Theo furrowed his brows, "So you've got a better idea?" He asked and Stiles glanced around for a second.

He pulled his phone out before leaning it against something on the shelf, the camera pointing directly at the body.

"What happens now?" Theo asked as the three if them sat in the jeep and Stiles hung his watch, that showed the camera from his phone, on the rearview mirror, "We wait." Stiles said. "You want to take shifts watching?" Theo asked and Stiles glanced back at him, "No... No, I want to spend some quality time with you." He said sarcastically and Theo nodded.

"Sounds good to me." He said making Stiles and Wren slowly look at each other.

🎭

"You still wondering why I haven't said anything to Scott?" Theo asked and Stiles shrugged slightly, "Maybe." He said not taking his eyes off the camera. "You think I have some kind of ulterior motive?" Theo asked and Wren sighed, leaning her head back on the back if Stiles' head rest, "More than likely." Stiles answered.

"Would you believe me if I said all I want- all I've ever wanted- is for you guys to trust me?" Theo asked and Stiles shook his head, "Nope." He said making Theo raise his eyebrows. "So, you guys are here because you're never going to trust me." He said and Stiles nodded and glanced back at him, "Yep. Glad we had this talk." Stiles said.

"You know who you both remind me of?" He asked making Stiles and Wren sigh, "Theo, nobody cares." Wren said. "My sister." Theo said making Stiles and Wren look at each other, "Being told we remind you of a dead person isn't much of a compliment."

"She was smarter than everyone, too. And a pain in the ass like you. But she always looked out for me- the same way you guys look out for Scott. You know, I was the one that found her body. She'd fallen into a creek, broken her leg... They told us she would've been okay if it wasn't one of the coldest nights of the year... If it wasn't for the hypothermia. And when I found her, all I could think was that I should've known. That I should've been looking out for her."

"Why are you telling us this?"

"I'm telling you because even if you don't trust me, and even if you don't like me, I'm still going to be looking out for you... The way I should have been looking out for her." Theo said and Wren made a face and shook her head slightly. "Sorry but, you failed to look out the first time. Not trusting you a second time." She said as she shrugged slightly before sitting back.

🎭

"You know, I saw his teeth. Donovan. He was a, uh, Wendigo, wasn't he?" Theo said making Stiles look at Wren through the rearview mirror to see she was sitting back against the seat with ear buds in and writing. She normally listened to music loud enough to not hear anyone so he didn't have yo worry.

"The cannibal one?" Theo asked and Stiles nodded, "Native American. The myth says that if you ate human flesh, your punishment was to turn into a creature that constantly craved it." Stiles explained, "That's a pretty judgmental myth."

"Well, I didn't make it up."

"What if it was the only way to survive? I mean, you ever hear of the Donner Party? I'm pretty sure they didn't turn into Wendigos..." Theo said and Stiles glanced at him, "Well, they didn't live in Beacon Hills." He said making Theo nod.

"Good point. So, what's the punishment for killing a Chimera?" Theo asked, "You spend five hours in the car with Theo Raeken." He said making Theo chuckle. "Like, I know what my punishment is." Stiles said as he looked down, "I'm gonna lose my best friend. I'm gonna lose Scott. I might even lose her." He said, glancing at his Wren through the rearview mirror.

Neither if them noticed that Wren had been looking at them before Stiles looked at her.

"I highly doubt Wren is that shallow to leave you for something like that. And if Scott really gave up on you for some piece of crap like Donovan, then he wouldn't be a True Alpha, would he?" Theo asked and Stiles squinted his eyes, "Or maybe that's the definition of one- someone who doesn't put up with murder."

"It sounds like you guys need to look up "justifiable homicide." Theo said making Stiles raise his eyebrows at him, "Did you seriously just say that to the son of a cop?" He asked. "A Werewolf's eyes are supposed to change color when you take an innocent life." Theo said before flashing his yellow eyes, "Do these look blue to you? It was self-defense. For me and for you."

"Or maybe you just don't feel all that bad about it. You can't say one life is objectively less innocent than another one. What if they turn blue 'cause you feel guilty?"

"So it's up to interpretation?"

"Yeah, maybe..."

"Okay. Then here's my interpretation of what happened with you and Donovan- not guilty." Theo said and Stiles looked away from him, "Did you feel bad about it?" He asked making Stiles look at him like he was stupid. "Not now- I mean right then. Right when it happened. What were you thinking the moment you knew he was dead and there was no saving him?"

"One word... Good." Stiles said.

All of the sudden Wren sat up, ripping her head phones out as she looked around, her notebook falling to the ground of the jeep. "What? What is it?" Stiles asked as she glanced around slightly, "Something coming." She said in a sight dazed tone while Theo glanced around, "Why does it smell like something's burning?"

All of the sudden a fist covered in fire punched Theo in the face making blood splatter onto Stiles. Then the door opened and Theo was ripped out of the car. Wren quickly climbed into the front seat as Stiles went to open his door when the jeep started rising. Stiles grabbed Wren's right before the jeep got flipped over.

🎭

Wren slowly woke up coughing as she inhaled some smoke before glancing around to see parts of the jeep was on fire. That's also when she noticed her sweater on her side was on fire making her quickly pat it out before noticing how both her and Stiles where still partly in the jeep. She quickly crawled out and saw Theo laying a few feet away and shook him awake.

She helped him up and he glanced around before looking at her, his eyes widening as he noticed a burn on her aide, "You're hurt!" He said and she slightly shook her head. "You need go get a fire extinguisher!" She said anold he nodded and ran into the clinic. Wren ran around the other side of the jeep and pulled Stiles out right as Theo ran back out.

He fire extinguisher on the fire as Wren sat on the ground with Stiles's back against her chest as he coughed awake. Before looking up at Wren and Theo.

"The body... The body's gone."
