Sheriff Stilinski and Derek arrives at the high school, slowly sneaking in. Sheriff draws out his gun and flashlight and follows Derek into the hallway.

"You know, just because this guy connected to the school's WiFi, doesn't mean he's still here." Derek says.

"True. But I've seen enough in this school to keep my gun in hand when walking in after dark." Sheriff says. They continue to walk down the hallway till Sheriff finds something. "Like blood."

He points his flashlight and finds a puddle of blood pooling through the crack of the door on the floor.

"That doesn't make sense." Derek says, confused.

"Yeah, no kidding."

"That's not what I mean." Derek looks around. "I should've caught the scent before we walked in." He walks over to the door and grips on to the handle but Sheriff grabs his arm to stop him.

"Hold on. You nervous makes me nervous." Sheriff gets his flashlight and looks through the small window on the door but couldn't see much. He carefully grabs the handle and starts to gently pull it till he feels something holding on to it on the other side. He shines his light and sees a wire.

"It's an explosive. A claymore." Derek says. Suddenly, he senses something not right, he looks over his shoulder.

"Get down!" He yells out and pulls the Sheriff out of the way before the tomahawk hits him. It misses and hits the wall next to them instead.

From the stairs, the no-mouth assassin jumps out of the shadows and over the ledge.

Scott and Josie ran through the woods, searching for Liam before he hurts someone. Scott was purposely running faster than Josie so he could reach Liam before he hurts her.

Growling, Liam tore through the woods, raging like an animal. Scott picks up the pace, following Liam's scent. He stops till he reaches a small clearing. He looks around, the scent led him there. With a loud growl, Liam jumps and surprises Scott, the two of them roll around the dirt and leaves. Rolling down a small hill. Liam jumps on top of Scott, swiping his claws at him, snarling in a rage. He presses Scott up against a tree.

"Liam Liam, wait." Scott shouts.

Liam snarls and tries to bite him.

"Stop." He tries again.

"What did you do to me?" Liam shouts.

"Liam..." That brought memories how he reacted the first time he changed.

"This is your fault. It's all your fault! This is your fault!" Liam yells repeatedly.

Scott blocks his swipes, then suddenly hears an arrow whooshing by. It hits the tree and a bright spark flashes. Scott covers his eyes and the light hurts Liam. Running him off.

Scott watches Liam run off and looks over to who shot the arrow. He couldn't believe who it was.

Chris Argent!

"How did you know?" Scott asks.

Chris walks up and helps him up, "I got your text." He says.

That surprises Scott in so many levels.

"Chris!" Josie calls out and runs towards him.

Chris turns and looks, he couldn't believe it.

"Josie? Josie!" He shouts happily and hugs her tight as she jumps to hug him. "Oh, my god, I've been worried sick about you since we left Tennessee!" He exclaims.

Scott growls lowly at him holding his mate, "Scott, shut up with the growling." Josie frowns when she sees his upper lip curl up. She lets go of Chris and faces Scott. "What the hell was that? You left me back there. Don't you remember what I said, 'I'm safer with you'." She says.

Scott sighs, "I didn't..." Chris cuts him off.

"You two...she's....he's...you, both." Chris stutters as he catches up.

"Basically, yeah, we're mates." Scott says.

Chris's brows shoots up in surprise, he looks at Josie and hugs her again but faces Scott, "You better keep her safe." He threatens.

Scott nods, "I'll guard her with my life."

"Good. Cause after what happened to her with..." Josie cuts Chris off with signing.

"What?" Chris asks.

"Scott doesn't know. I haven't told him yet. Please, let me be the one to tell him." She signs silently to him.

He nods, "Let's go get the wolf." Chris says and starts walking off.

Scott looks at her weirdly, "What was he talking about?" He asks.

"Scott, I promise I will tell you soon. But, now is not the time and I'm not ready yet. Please." She begs.

Scott sighs, "Ok." He takes her hand and together they run with Chris.

At the school, the no-mouth man throws Sheriff Stilinski against the lockers. Sheriff lands on the floor with a loud, painful grunt.

Derek fights him off, dodging off his tomahawks. Pretty soon, he had his arms locked behind him and Sheriff gets up pointing his gun at him.

"You have the right to remain silent." Sheriff Stilinski pants out. No mouth frowns at him, "Anything you say, can and will be used against you in the court of law. You've the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford one..."

As Sheriff reads him his rights, Peter walks out of corridor and starts pacing towards them.

Derek sees him running with his claws out, "No, Peter, no!" He shoves the Sheriff out of the way as Peter jumps on no-mouth.

Peter practically rips the no-mouth man apart, slicing him with his claws, grunting loudly at every swipe. When he was done, he was covered in blood, smirking in satisfaction with his eyes glowing blue and his sharp teeth sprouting from his mouth. Derek and the Sheriff watch as Peter rips out the man's throat, holding a piece of him and his eyes turn back to normal. They both get up as Peter does, Sheriff Stilinski points his gun at him. Peter simply takes out a small handkerchief out from his pocket and wipes the blood of his hands and claws. Sheriff cocks his gun, Peter looks at him and slowly shakes his head. Peter turns to leave.

"We've learned a better way." Derek says.

"I'm a creature of habit." Peter says with no emotion as he walks off.

"There's a clearing just north of here. All you have to do is corral him there. The rest is taken care of." Chris says.

Scott nods, holding on to Josie's hand as they walk, "What are you going to do?" He asks.

"He's your Beta, Scott. The better question is what are you going to do?" Chris asks.

Scott shakes his head, "He won't listen to me."

"He will if you start using your own words." He says.

They both look up as they hear Liam screaming in the distance, Josie squeezes Scott's hand and looks at him with worry.

Chris reaches in his pocket and gives him a remote, "Here. Go."

Scott and Josie runs towards Liam's screams as Chris stays behind, but Josie turns to look at Chris and watches his mouth, "I'll see you again." He says. She gives him a quick wave and runs with Scott.

They find Liam in a hunter's trap, covering his ears, screaming in pain. Scott takes the remote and shuts off the trap.

Liam lowers his hands, panting, he slowly looks up at both of them, fear in his eyes, "What's happening to me?"

"The same thing that happened to me." Scott says.

Back at the party, Kira searches endlessly for Lydia but couldn't find her.

"Lydia? Has anyone seen Lydia?" She looks at the stairs and suggests to herself that she might be upstairs. She finally finds her in the room where Lydia found the soundproof room.

"Hey. Lydia? Are you okay?" She finds Lydia looking at the wall as the record player continues to play the strange sound. "What do you hear?"

"The key. The key to break the code."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Back at the clearing, Josie and Scott try to help Liam. Chris walks up and hides in the shadows.

"They can't know about this." Liam says looking down. Scott keels in front of him with Josie next to him as she tries to read his lips.

"My mom, my stepdad, I can't do this to them again." He sniffles.

"What do you mean again?" Josie asks.

"I got kicked out of school and I deserved it. The way they looked at me when they saw what I did to that car."

"Liam, it's okay." Scott says.

"They can't see me like this." Liam starts to sob.

"Like a monster?" Scott asks.

Liam nods.

Josie sighs and places a hand on his shoulder, he looks over to her as he starts to feel better just from her touch.

"You're not a monster." She says, shaking her head.

Scott agrees and stands up, "You're a werewolf."

Liam and Josie look up at him.

"Like me." Scott's eyes shined blood red. Liam's eyes widen at the sight and he sits up.

Back at the house, Lydia and Kira both look over the code on Lydia's laptop as Lydia types in the code and the command for the key.

Finally, the laptop beeps and asks for the keyword. Lydia hesitantly types in the key slowly,

'A-L-L-I-S-O-N'

The codes started to change into names and numbers, not just any names. Everyone's names. Scott, Lydia, Kira, Derek, and even Josie.

"What is this?" Kira asks.

"It's a list of supernaturals in Beacon Hills." Lydia says.

"It's a dead pool. And we're all on it."
