"Where's Lydia?" Kira asked as she, Scott, Malia, Stiles, Cassie and Ava stood around the high school waiting to go in for the PSATs.

"She took it her freshman year," Stiles said making Malia look over at him.  

"Does that mean I could have taken it some other time?" Malia asked scared about the exam.

"Mal, you studied harder for this than any of us," Ava said and Malia shook her head.

"Av, that doesn't mean I'm gonna do good," Malia said.

"Well." Stiles corrected making Malia look at him confused.

"Well, what?"

"It's 'do well' not 'do good'." 

"Oh, God?" Malia exclaimed.

"We're doing this because while we're trying not to die, we still need to live. If I survive high school, I'd like to go to college. A good college..." Scott said and Kira nodded.

"It's only three hours. We can survive three hours." Kira said making Ava look at her wide-eyed.

"Three Hours!" Ava said surprised.

"Cell phone in the envelope, Scott," Natalie, Lydia's mum said, holding up an envelope after Scott did his thumb and grabbed a couple of pencils and a test. "You'll get it back after the test."

"Please do not open the test booklet until you are instructed to do so. This test is two hours and ten minutes. There will be two twenty-five minute critical reading sections, two twenty-five maths sections, and an essay writing portion that will last thirty minutes. There are supposed to be two teachers monitoring this exam..." The PSATs examiner said, looking over at Natalie.

"I know. It's Coach. He's not exactly punctual. Um, let me just try him again." Natalie said and walked out of the room to find him. "I can't find him, but Mr. Yukimura is upstairs grading papers. Do you want me to try him?"

"We have to start. We can ask for his assistance during the first break. You may now open your test booklets and begin." 

Everyone was doing their test, when a girl named Sydney suddenly fell to the ground making everyone stop and turn to her. "Sydney!" Natalie said running over to her. "Are you alright?" Natalie asked as she helped Sydney up. 

"I'm okay...I just got kind of dizzy..." Sydney said, chuckling.

"Sydney, how long have you had this?" Natalie asked looking at a red mark on Sydney's arm.

"I don't know." Sydney said confused.

"Mrs. Martin, do I need to stop the test?" 

Natalie shook her head. "...Um, it's fine. Everybody stay in your seats. I'll, um, be back in a minute. Nobody leaves the room." Natalie said before walking out of the class room.

"Get back! No! Do not come in here! Get back outside!" Natalie yelled at some students walking into the school, making everyone run out the classroom to see her locking the double doors. "Back to your seats! Now. Please." The students walked back, inside Scott colsed the door behind him.

"I need the number of the CDC." Ava heard Natalie say over the phone. "Yes, the Center for Disease Control."

🔥🔥

"Bet they're thinking Smallpox." Stiles said to Malia, Ava and Kira.

"Not likely." The PSATs examiner said. "Smallpox was eradicated worldwide in 1979. We've only managed to completely eradicate two viruses in history. The other was rinderpest-it killed cows."

"So, we should be comforted by that, right?" Stiles asked as Ava crossed her arms staring at the examiner.

"You know, that doesn't make us calm, right?" Ava sassed.

"Unless it something worse..."

"Whatever it is, they're taking it pretty seriously. There are a lot of cars and trucks out there." Malia said.

"Your dad's with them." Ava said and Stiles nodded and stood up.

"I should probably call him." He said before walking to the box containing the phone.

"Don't bother...They would have shut off any access to all outside communication by now. No cell service, no Wi-Fi, no one starting a panic. Looks like we're all just going to have to wait here and see what happens." The examiner said making Ava stare and squint and him.

"Aren't you suppose to calm us? Well you're terrible at it." Cassie said and Ava hummed in agreement.

🔥🔥

Malia, Ava, Cassie and Kira stood in line waiting for blood to drawn. "Kira, do you ever get the feeling that Scott and Stiles aren't telling you everything?" Malia asked as Kira stood open mouth trying to look for an answer.

"What do you mean?"

"Like they hide stuff." Ava said as her and Malia smiled.

"I think if they did, they probably have a pretty good reason." Kira said and Malia huffed as her plan didn't work.

"Do you know what they're hiding in the bag under Scott's bed?" Cassie asked.

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

"Kira Yukimura."

 As a woman in a hazamat suit pushed the needle in Kira vein she got an electric shock which made a whole in her hazamat suit making her run to the entrence.

🔥🔥

A few minutes later they all stood around in the locker room as they watched Scott's eyes flicker red. "Still happening." Mr. Yukimura said and Malia and Ava sighed and held up their clawed hands.

"We can't make them go back." They said sulmitaniously.

"Obviously, the virius is affecting the three of you in a way it won't hit any human beings." He said.

"We have to stay out of sight then." Ava said and Stiles nodded.

"We have to quarantine you from the quarantine." He said.

"Yeah, but where? I mean, what if they get violent, like on a full moon?" Kira said and Scott said.

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

"Nothing in the school with hold us."

"What about the basement?"

"Too many ways out. We need to find something secure. Somewhere nobody can find us." Scott said and realisation hit Stiles.

"The vault. The Hale Vault."

"The hales always have an escape route, like their house. There has to be another way in." Ava said.

"I know where it is and I can get us in, mum changed it slightly as I have no claws." Cassie said.

Stiles hand Cassie a blueprint of the school and she rolled it out on Coach's desk. "Okay, the school sign is here and the basement entrance is here." Cassie said point to the west corridor.

Stiles started to fall making Ava and Malia grab onto him to steady him. "It's happening to you, too. You're getting sick. You all are." Mr. Yukimura said and Kira glanced at her dad.

"I don't feel sick."

"I think it's affecting you differently, neurologically. I found your test answers here in a pile with the others." He said pulling the sheet out to see Kira had putting dots next to the answers instead of in the bubbles.

They all run down the stairs to the vault where Cassie stopped at a wall with some shelving in front. Scott and Cassie moved the shaving out the way, Cassie was about the open the vault when Malia grabbed her wrist. "Cas'll open the door...But, first, tell us what you've been hiding from us." Malia said gesturing to her and Ava. 

"I know you think you're trying to protect us, but we can handle it." Ava said making them stop.

"We know we're on the list!" Cassie said making them let out a breath of relief.

"Yes..." Stiles said slowly making them nod.

"How much?" Ava asked.

"How much what?" Stiles asked.

"How much are we worth?" Cassie expanded.

"Cassie's 12 million, Ava's 9 and you're 4." Scott said making Malia look over at him before down.

"Are you okay?" Stiles asked.

"Yeah. Scott's worth twenty-five, Kira, six. They'll take you guys out way before us." Malia said before Cassie walked over to the door.

"That's progress. That's progress." Stiles muttered as Cassie opened the door with the flick of a wrist.

 After a while, Kira was looking at the stuff on the shelves, Scott sat on a metal box, Malia lied on Stiles lap and Cassie and Ava leant against the wall. "You know, this is where it all started. That's where the money was. One hundred and seventeen million in bearer bonds." Stiles said as he looked over to the safe.

"How do you even change bearer bonds into cash?" Kira asked.

"Bank." Ava said.

"You know bearer bonds are basically extinct?" Stiles asked making them look at him.

"Why dies it matter?" Kira asked and Stiles sighed.

"You know how many problems that money could solve?" Stiles aske making Ava raise her eyebrows.

"For you?"

"Me, my dad...The Eichen House and MRI bills are killing him." Stiles said sighing.

"My mom does this thing...she writes down all the items in our budget, and how much they cost, and then she adds them all up and figure out how long we have until...we lose the house." Scott explained.

🔥🔥

"Anything?" Stiles asked as he and Scott stood by the door.

"They're looking for us. Someone's going to have to go out there." Scott said. They looked over to Malia to see the twins holding each other for support and comfort. "We need to tell them the truth about Peter. They're going to see the rest of the dead pool eventually." He whispered.

"Try to remember that Peter is the one name missing on that list. Which either makes him incredibly lucky or the Benefactor. They find out about him, they're going to go to him. You know how they are. And then he's going to twist his way into their head, like he does with everyone, including us. We let him walk around like nothing ever happened, like her's on of the good guys..." Stiles said. "Scott, he's not one of the good guys. If they find out about him, they're gone. That's probably what he's waiting for! And if he wins, we lose." 

"We're already losing." Scott said shaking his head, lifting his hand to show black blood losing out his fingertips.

"Malia, I gotta leave for a few, okay?" Stiles asked as Malia and Ava sat up slightly.

"Where are you going?" Malia asked and he sighed.

"Whatever's happening...? It's worse for you guys. That means it's not just people getting sick...It's another assassin. Here." Stiles said before wrapping his jacket around Malia's shoulders.

"You're coming back right?" Malia asked and Stiles nodded.

"Yeah. Yeah, I'd never leave you behind." He said making Stiles kiss Malia on her forehead before Stiles stood up and walk out the vault.

🔥🔥

"I was wondering how that idiot got sick." Some said making Stiles jump and turn around to see the examiner holding a gun. "I'm also wondering where your friends are. Since in order to get paid by the Benefactor, I need to have proof that they're dead." He said as he messed with the gun.

"Visual confirmation..." Stiles said.

"Exactly." The examiner said before pointing the gun at him. "Really, people like Scott Mccall, Kira Yukimura, Lydia Martin and Malia Hale can live. I just want Ava Hale, she's a mated supernatural, they're expensive but Ava Hale and Jordan Parrish together are more than Scott Mccall."

🔥🔥

As the twins huddled together for warmth, Malia found a piece of paper that had the third list on it. Scott noticed this and tried to stand up and stop her. "Malia. Ava." The twins tried to read the paper when they were met with darkness. "Malia? Ava?"

"We can't see." They said. "We can't see anything?" 

Sooner or later everyone couldn't see. Stiles ran towards the vault when he found the cure. "Hey, Scott? Scotty? In the vault, in there with you...It's called Reishi Mushrooms. Scott? Scott, open the door! It's in there with you! It's in a jar, it's on one of the shelves. Scott! Scott, can you hear me?" Stiles yelled as he bangs on the door. 

All of a sudden the door opened making Stiles sigh in relief as they saw the twins standing there. "Hey, you alright? He asked but they didn't say anything. "Malia? Ava?" He asked again, grabbing their shoulders butthey grabbed his arm, before looking at him with glossy eyes. They removed his hands before standing up, dropping the paper as they walked out.

🔥🔥   

The twins walked out to be greeted by Agent Mccall and Stilinski. "Are they okay?"

"Go ask them yourselves!" She said angrily making Agent grab her arm.

"Hey!"

"No, I'm pissed at them, go ask them yourselves." Ava shouted walking before being stopped by Lydia.

"Your feeling better right?" Lydia asked grabbing her hands.

"Physically yeah! Emotionally, like I just got ran over by a bus!" Ava said snappily. "How long have you've known?"

"What do you mean?"

"You cracked the list so you saw my name but I wanna know if you new before." Ava said and Lydia nodded slowly, tears falling.

"A year and a half." Lydia whispered slowly.

"A year and a half!" Ava shouted gaining a specific deputies attention. "Everyone knew apart from me. For a year and a half."

"Please, let me explain!" Lydia said upset.

"I don't want anymore of your lies, Lydia." Jordan came up behind her and placed a hand on her shoulder. The rest of the pack ran up to the small group. "I've never once lied and you all lied to me about my family."

Cassie came up to Ava and placed an arm around her shoulder.

"Let's get out of here okay?" Cassie said softly as Ava nodded. "You guys, are utter twats!"

As Cassie led Ava away from the group, Jordan followed. "Deputy Hottie is following, do you want to talk to him or let Mal deal with him?"

"I will!" Malia shouted obviously listening in to the conversation.

"No! I want to talk to him."

"How are you?" Jordan said softly and Ava started to cry.

"I feel like shit." Ava said and her voice started to break. Jordan pulled her into a hug. Ava wrapped her arms around his torso still crying, fist filled with his shirt.

I cried writing this and I was watching Void! Stiles which didn't help.
