"We can still catch him." Malia said making Scott snap out of his trance and he turns to the girls with a confused look, "Catch who?" He asked making Amara raise her eyebrows and look at him confused. "The killer. What were you thinking about?" She asked and Scott glanced down at the bullet casing he held, "Getting the bullet to Argent." He said and she raided her eyebrows.
"Even if he's the one who fired it?" Amara asked looking back up and Scott nodded, "Especially if he's the one." He said and then turned to start walking but froze. "Do you hear that?" He asked and Malia and Amara listened for a moment, "Heartbeats." They said at the same time.
"A lot of them. They're here." He said as he started glancing around, "Who?" Lydia asked. "Hunters. Run!" Scott said before taking off, the girls glanced at each other wide eyed before following him, "Scott, wait. Scott!"
They try to keep up with him but he runs off a head making them stop for a moment, "What the hell is happening?" Amara asked and Malia and Lydia just sighed and Amara grabbed Lydia's hand before they all ran after Scott again.
They finally catch up with Scott where he stood with Stilinski, Makena, Parrish and other deputies, panting in exhaustion from attempting to catch up with Scott. "Why am I friends with you?" Amara asked as she gave Scott a dirty look and Scott gives his friends a melancholy and remorseful look.
A few minutes later, Scott, Amara, Lydia and Malia lead Stilinski, Makena, Parrish and the other deputies to the place they found the body and while the other deputies search the area. "I'm really sorry." Scott apologized to Stilinski, apparently he had kinda attacked him, "You don't think they saw anything, do you?" He asked.
Parrish, who is crouched down examining the body, stands up and looks over at Scott, "No more than they're used to." He said. "You wanna tell us what happened here." Makena asked, "He's a Hellhound." Parrish and pointing down to the body.
"A dead Hellhound." Malia said making Stilinski raise his eyebrows and nod, "Yep, got that." He said. "Well, I don't get it. I didn't think you could kill a Hellhound." Parrish said and Makena nodded, "It's supposed to be pretty damn hard." She said and Malia shrugged slightly. "Looks a lot easier than we thought."
Its was quite for a moment until Stilinski spoke up, "You got anything you wanna add?" He asked and the girls glanced at Scott. "Yeah... I don't think it was just any bullet." Scott said and Parrish crouches down and looks at the body with a worrisome frown.
"I hope not."

Malia, Lydia, Amara and Scott pull up to the house and Scott take off his seat belt to leave when Lydia spoke up. "Why didn't you say anything?" She asked making Scott's eyes widen for a moment, "Why didn't you say anything?" He said and Malia turned to them..
"Wait, was I supposed to say something?" She asked and Amara sighed slightly and shook her head. "None of us said anything because of Argent, who is also my mom's boyfriend. And none of us are going to say anything until we talk to him." Amara said and Scott nodded, "Everybody good with that?" He asked and the girls glanced at each other before nodding.
"As long as we talk to Argent soon." Lydia said and Amara nodded in agreement, "Premonition?" Amara asked and they nodded. "Yeah. The one with the screaming, and people killing each other."
"First we find Argent."

Parrish slides his card on a cell's lock glancing over at Lydia and Amara. They had came to the station cause Lydia needed help at recognizing a sound she heard in her premonition. "Is that it? The sound you heard?" Parrish asked and Lydia sighed and shook her head, "No, it's something else."
They walk into the bullpen Parrish sits on his desk as the girls stood in front of him, "It could be any kind of public facility. hospital, a fire station, or..." Parrish suggested and realization slowly crossed over Lydia's features.
"Or a mental institution." Lydia said and Amara groaned, "Don't say it." She said. "Eichen House." Lydia said making Amara cringe, "Ah- you said it." She mumbled while Parrish furrowed his brows.
"The card readers on the doors?" He asked and Lydia nodded, "It's the Closed Unit." She said and Amara shook her head. "You are not going back to that place, and you're definitely not going anywhere near the Closed Unit ever again." Amara said making Lydia sigh softly, "What if there's a connection to the... dead Hellhound?" She whispered and Amara and Parrish glanced at each other.
"What if you go there again and someone tries to kill you? Which happens literally every time we go in there!" Amara said and Lydia just rolled her eyes, "It's our only lead." She said and Amara shrugged. "I'm not letting my girlfriend go back into the place that almost killed her. Twice." She said and Lydia sighed, "Then you come with me."
"Or I could just go alone." Amara said and Parrish shook his head, "No." He said making her look at him offended. "You are you? My mom?" Amara asked and Parrish gave her a look. "I'll go." He said as he grabbed his jacket and she was about to say something but he spoke up first.
"No, you can't go." He said before grabbing his jacket and walking off making Amara pout.
â
Lydia and Amara sat next to each other, waiting for Parrish to come back. Lydia's phone goes, with a message saying "Last day to register for MIT Today, 6:00 PM" and Amara sighed softly. "We'll be able to go to college soon." She said making Lydia sigh and lean back against Amara's chest.
"At this rate?" She mumbled as Amara wrapped her arms around Lydia. Florence grabbed Lydia's hand, and kissed the size of Lydia's head. Amara was about to say something but stopped when both Lydia sat up slightly when she started hearing radio feedback. Amara raised her eyebrows in confused as Lydia glanced around to see a deputy is putting her walkie-talkie up to charge.
She leaves as the station's phone rings and Lydia instantly walked toward the charging walkie-talkie, pulling Amara will her. Lydia picks up the walkie-talkie and it produces even more static until she raises the volume but nothing more than louder static just comes out.
Lydia glanced at Amara before looking at the other deputies but they don't seem to notice them so she keys the mic and nervously speaks. "Hello? Lydia asked and a second later a voice echoed through the radio.
"Even you can freeze solid, Deputy Parrish. We should be killing them."
"Wait!"
Amara raised her eyebrows when Lydia's eyes widened, "What is it?" Amara asked. "We need to go get Parrish. He's in troubled." Lydia said and Amara nodded before gently grabbing Lydia's arm, "Are you sure you want to go there? I can go there on my own." She said and Lydia took a deep breath and shook her head. "I can go." She said and Amara raised her eyebrows, "Are you 100% sure?" She asked and Lydia nodded.
"Let's go."
â
Lydia and Amara pull up to Eichen and get out the car. Lydia hesitates for a moment as she looked up at the gate but Amara grabbed her hand and gave her an encouraging smile before they walk through.
They managed to sneak into the closed unit where they find the gate wide opened. They slowly walked over to it and Amara pushes it open wide, "Hello?" Lydia called out but no body answered making them glance at each other as they walked into the hall.
Suddenly, a clanging sound making them both jump and turn, they looks back and sees the gate closed by itself. Lydia grabbed Amara's arm before they started walking again. Lydia jumps again slightly making Amara look over at her to see her looking completely terrified about being back in Eichen. "J-Jordan?" Lydia called out and Amara squeezed her hand.
All of the sudden Lydia, panics and runs back to the gate and tries to open it but it seems locked as her heartbeat rate rises. "Hello? Hello?" She yelled as Amara ran up to her. "Lydia." Amara said calmly as she gently grabbed her girlfriend's arms making her turn to her, "Hey, Lydia. Breathe." She said and Lydia took a deep breath.
"I not gonna let anything happen to you. You know that. We're going to find Parrish and out of here, and you'll never have to come back here again." Amara said as she moved a piece of hair out of Lydia's face and Lydia nodded slightly as she focused on her breathing. Lydia calms down for a second before she suddenly flinched slightly.
"It's here."
"We should be killing them."
"Wait!"
A gunshot is heard right after and Lydia's eyes widen in realization as she look back to the hall. "Did you hear something?" Amara asked and Lydia nodded, "We need to get Parrish." Lydia said and Amara nodded slightly. "You ready?" Amara asked, holding her hand out and Lydia and nodded, looking more confident and determined then before she she grabbed Amara's hand, intertwining their fingers.
"I can't be afraid anymore." They heard Dr. Fenris say as they walked up to a room to see him pointing a gun at a semi frozen Parrish. Lydia thrusts her hands forward and lets out a loud scream making Dr. Fenris go flying back toward the wall he falls to the ground, knocked out. Amara glanced around before noticing the thermostat and turned it up making warm air flow through the vents.
The girls quickly ran over to Parrish and helped him up and out the door before Amara turned back and shut the door. She turned the lock enough until she her a small snap before breaking off the door handle. "Why did you just do that?" Lydia asked and Amara looked at her and shrugged slightly.
"He's in time out." She said and shrugged slightly before wrapping Parrish's arm around her shoulders.
â
Scott, Malia, Amara and Lydia gather around in the kitchen, where Lydia had just explained every Dr. Fenris did at Eichen. "He killed every supernatural in the Closed Unit? All of them?" Scott asked and they nodded, "He said he couldn't see it any other way." Lydia said.
"Well, I've got another way. You don't kill everyone." Malia said sarcastically making Amara look at her sister and shook her head, "He was terrified. I could smell it." She said and Scott turned around to face them. "The wolves, the rats. It keeps coming back to the same thing, fear." He said and Malia frowned in confusion, "But what is everyone afraid of?"
Scott thinks for a moment until he sets the bullet's slug on the kitchen table, "Us. We don't know what fear would do to somebody. I mean, it can change them. They'll look at us differently. They'll do things that they've never done before." Scott said. "People can be so stupid." Malia said and Amara sighed and shook her head, "They're not stupid, they're scared. I've killed out of fear induced panic before." She said and Scott nodded.
"And scared people will do things that you wouldn't believe."
