I let out a grunt as Theo and I flip over the jeep. Theo had managed to put the fire in the jeep out. How that happened, I have no idea. I take a few steps back from the jeep as it flips back over on it's wheels. I walk over to Stiles whose sitting on the ground not to far away. He hasn't moved much since we pulled him out of the jeep. He also hasn't said to much.
"Are you sure I don't need to bring you to the hospital? You took in a lot of smoke." I say bending down to meet his eyes.
"I'm fine." He says as he stands up. I let out a puff of air but sand up and follow him. Stiles starts to walk toward the jeep but stops when a voice comes through the police scanner.
Suspect in 1-8-7 is in custody and in route to station. Suspect's name is Yukimura, Kira.
Theo walks up behind me, "What's a 1-8-7?"
Stiles looks back at us. "Homicide."

Liam and Hayden were taken last night by the Dread Doctors. The plan Scott had didn't work. They somehow made all of them hallucinate that they were dying while they took them. We are all at my house trying to figure out a plan. Stiles, Malia, and Theo are downstairs. I chose to come up here not only to shower and change, but to get away from Theo. I have had enough of him for one night. Lydia, Mason, and I are upstairs with Corey. He's a Chimera.
Last night my mom and the Sheriff figured out what a Chimera is actually. They all have something in common that makes them a candidate for the Dread Doctors experimentations. Tracy, Donovan, Hayden, and Josh all have another person's DNA in them all from procedures they went through. According to my mom, there are a few different ways for that to happen. Think of a skin graft or an organ transplant.
When my mom got home from the station, there was a body of a young girl with Kira's sword in her chest. Scott's at the station with Kira to see what happened.
My head snaps up when I hear the door downstairs open. "Scott's here."
Corey looked up from the Dread Doctor book we gave him, Sorry, I'm only on chapter two. I'm kind of a slow reader."
"That's okay, Corey." Mason assured him. I listen out in the hallway where I here Scott making his way up here. And fast.
Scott walked in, "He's right. We don't have time for that anyway."
I seen Scott going for Corey's neck, "No, Scott! Don't!"
Scott's claws pierce through Corey's skin. He's trying to access the memories of where the Dread Doctors are. Corey mentioned something about being there, but he can't remember where it is. Or what they did to him for that matter. I hear three sets of footsteps enter the room. I feel Stiles walk up next to me and place his hand on the small of my back.
"Don't get too close." Lydia warns.
"What is he doing?" Theo asks.
"Tapping into Corey's memories. It's usually something only Alphas do." Lydia answers.
Theo walked to the side to get a better look, "Is it as dangerous as it looks?"
"Probably more." Stiles says.
"Does anyone know if it's working?" Mason asks.
All of a sudden, Scott let's out a gasp. He takes his claws out from Corey's neck and falls backwards. Stiles, Theo, and I rush to catch him. Lydia and Mason help Corey who had stood up as well. He gripped the back of his neck. When he took them away, I could notice the red staining his finger tips. He looked at Scott with a glare.
"What the hell did you do to me?" Corey yelled at Scott from across the room.
"You'll be alright." Scott answered not really caring about the Chimera.
He scoffed. "There's blood."
"You'll heal." Scott said.
"Scott..." I say. That was too risky. He could have seriously hurt Corey.
"He'll be fine!" Scott yelled at us. "Listen, I think it worked. I saw something. There were tunnels. Pipes along the walls." As he was saying this, he was drawing it. "There were these huge blue pipes at the entrance. Two on both sides."
"Wait a second. I know this." Stiles says looking at the picture. "I've seen this before."
I walk to the other side of Scott and look at the picture.
"That's one of the tunnels I used to skateboard in." Stiles says looking at us. "Remember my dad caught me one time and told me to never go back."
"It's the water treatment plant." I say.
"That's where they are." Scott says looking at the picture again, "That's where we'll find Liam and Hayden."
Scott rushed out of the room. All of us followed after him. Mason wanted to go with Scott, and Stiles was trying to convince him not to let him go.
"Scott... Scott, slow down. Just think for a second, okay?" Stiles said. Scott turned around to look at Stiles, "Mason shouldn't be going."
Mason walked around Stiles be and toward Scott and Malia, "Liam's my best friend. I'm going."
"Oh, did you suddenly get super wolf powers? I wasn't aware of that development." Stiles said.
"Well, if you're not going, I could use the help."Scott told him.
"No, I'm coming just as soon as I talk to my dad." Stiles explained. "They're moving the body and he wants to make sure that this time no one steals it."
"How's he gonna do that?" Malia asked.
Stiles shrugged, "I don't know. But whoever took the last one was strong enough to flip my Jeep."
"We can bring Theo." Malia pointed to him. Oh great. Now everyone's trusting him.
"Maybe I better stay here. You know, in case the Doctors decide to make a house call for Corey." Theo said.
"Scott, Stiles is right. We need to slow down and think." I tell him.
"I am thinking... about how Liam and Hayden could already be dead." Scott said.
"You could've hurt him, Scott." Lydia said from beside me, "Really hurt him."
"I have to find Liam." Scott said. Him, Mason, and Malia all walked out of the house leaving all of us to stand there and figure out what to do.

"Stiles, your legs are so much longer that mine. Slow down."
We are at the hospital because that's where the police are protecting the body. The Sheriff basically has every single deputy in this hospital. Most of the are on the floor where the morgue is. Stiles is on the phone with the mechanic and is walking way to fast for me. I mean, I'm like 5'4''. I barely reach his shoulders.
"You tell me, man. You're the mechanic. If the gas tank didn't rupture and nothing electrical was burned, then how did the fire start? Spontaneously combusted? That's your answer?" Stiles rambled on the phone. I saw his dad walk up to the two of us. This isn't going to be good. "Are you kidding?"
"What are you doing here?" His dad asked as he took the phone away from Stiles' ear.
"Dad, you gotta leave the body, okay? Leave it and let whoever wants to take it just take it. Trust me." Stiles tells him.
"I'm doing my job, Stiles." His dad started walking away.
Stiles started following after him, "Yeah, you've been real busy. Arresting people you know are innocent."
"Go home. Both of you. Now. This is not up for debate." His dad walked into the elevator. Stiles grabbed my hand before stepping into the elevator as well.
"Well, then, we're not leaving." Stiles said. When the does closed his dad looked at the two of us.
"You know, Clark mentioned something about, uh, key cards for the library. Do you all have after-hours access?" He asked us. I looked at him confused. Then it dawned on me. That night at the library.
"Yeah. Yeah, we do." Stiles told him, "I'd show you mine, but I lost it a couple of weeks ago."
Stiles' dad looked away from us. I looked up at Stiles. He squeezed my hand. He gave me a weak smile before kissing my forehead.
***
I walked into the bathroom. I looked at myself in the mirror. I look at the girl who is looking back at me. I see the same broken girl from my past. Ever since that hallucination, I can't shake the feeling of me being terrified. And not just a little frightened. I mean I feel like I want to run and hide, but I can't do that. I have to be strong for everyone else. I feel my eyes start to water.
"What is happening to us?"
We are all falling apart. I can feel the guilt Stiles has every time I am near him. I've tried to help, but I don't know how. I can see Scott falling apart as an alpha. He doesn't know what to do anymore. Which make all of us not know what to do anymore. We're all lost. We are drifting apart from each other.
I shake my head. I splash some cold water on my face to call my nerves. I dry my face before walking out of the bathroom. I walk down the hallway towards where Stiles is, passing a few nurses as I walked. As soon as I turned the corner, I stopped for a moment. Stiles was sitting in a chair in the corner, holding his library card. I watched him look at it for a minute. He threw it into the garbage can next to him.
I sigh and walk up to him. I see his head snap up and look at me. He stands up as I walk closer to him. I can feel him itching to say something but nothing comes out. I lay my head on his chest as my arms wrap around him. He wraps his arms around my and places his head on top of mine.
"I'm sorry I've been terrible at comforting you." I mumble into his chest. "It's just... I'm horrible at words and never know what to say to make you feel better."
"Baby," Stiles says as he pulls away slightly. He places his hands on my cheeks as he looks at me, "You just being here with me is comforting me in ways you can't imagine. I would probably go crazy by now if I didn't have you by my side through all of this."
"I love you, Stiles Stilinski." I smile at him.
He smiles back at me, "I love you, Autumn McCall."
He pulls me into a kiss. I pull him closer to my as I deepen it. It ended with pulling away when I heard a huge bang. I look up at the ceiling at where it came from.
"What is it?" Stiles asked. "What do you hear?"
"I heard a loud noise. A few floors up where the body is." I answer looking at him.
"Well, what are we waiting for?" Stiles grabs my hand, "Let's go."
We walk toward the elevator. I push the button that brings the elevator down. We walk in when it opens and Stiles pushes the button of the floor the bodies on. As we get closer, I hear screaming.
"There's yelling." I tell him.
"Can't this thing go any faster." Stiles groaned. When the doors opened, smoke filled the elevator. The lights were dim as we walked out. "Dad? Dad!"
"Go get your son, Sheriff." I hear someone say. It sounded like Parrish.
"This way." I pull him in the direction of the voice.
When Stiles' dad came into view, Stiles ran up to him, "Dad! Dad, the body."
Stiles and I followed behind the Sheriff as we walked toward the morgue. He had his gun drawn. When we walk in, the first thing we noticed was an empty table where the body was supposed to be. I run my hands through my hair and his dad looked back at us. I walk toward the table when I seen something on the ground. I bent down to pick it up. It was a badge.
"It's Parrish. He's taking the bodies." I tell them showing them the badge.
Stiles took the badge from my hand. "Well, that would explain my Jeep magically catching on fire."
***
As soon as Lydia walked into the room, Stiles showed her the badge. Her and Parrish have some kind of connection. I can feel it when I'm around them. I think it's has something to do with the supernatural creatures they are. If only we can figure out what Parrish is.
"It's him. He's the one taking the bodies." Stiles said as Lydia examined the badge.
She looked at the two of us before speaking, "Then I think I know where he's taking them."
