Chapter Seventy
🎭 Status Asthmaticus 🎭

"Go home, guys. Stilinski isn't telling anyone where he put the bodies, and I'm pretty sure I'm not psychic." Parrish said as he sat against the bars of the cell, Lydia and Sawyer sitting against them as well outside the cell. Although Sawyer had her head down as she was doing her form of astral projection to talk to Scott and Stiles. Anakin was laying on Sawyer's legs.

"But you're drawn to death... Just like us." Lydia said and Parrish raised his eyebrows slightly. "Does that make me a kind of Banshee and Clairvoyant? You find bodies, Sawyer has visions of them, I find Chimeras..." He trailed off and Lydia nodded slightly. "Dead Chimeras." She said. "So, we're all harbingers of death." Parrish said and the girls nodded, making him sigh, "I should probably add that to my resume." He said and Lydia hummed.

"Hmm... It's on Sawyer and I's college applications." She said, making him chuckle before Sawyer lifted her head slightly, making them look at her. She didn't say anything, just had a slight distant look on her face, her eyes glossy as she took a couple deep breaths.

"Sawyer?" Lydia asked worried and Sawyer didn't look at them, just bit her lip slightly as she took a deep breath. "What would you do if I told you that I... killed someone...?" Sawyer asked, making Lydia and Parrish glance at each other before looking at Sawyer, "Did you?" Parrish asked and Sawyer nodded slightly, still not looking at anyone.

"Who?" Lydia asked and Sawyer took a deep breath, "Donovan..." She said in a slight whisper, making Parrish raise his eyebrows. "Donovan Donati? The guy who said he was going to kill your father? That Donovan?" Parrish asked and Sawyer nodded, "Yeah, that Donovan..." She said and Lydia gently grabbed her hand.

"What happened?" She asked, making Sawyer look down at their hand, "He was a chimera, a wendigo, and he attacked Stiles and I at the school while I was fixing the jeep. Stiles hit him with one of my wrenches and we ran to the library where he attacked us again... I- I don't know, I was on the second floor and Stiles was climbing the scaffolding and Donovan was following... He said he was going to eat Stiles." Sawyer explained while shaking her head slightly as she looked at them.

"I heard a voice telling me to pull a pin on the scaffolding so I did. A bunch of poles fell down and one went right through him..." Sawyer said and Parrish raised his eyebrows, "As a Deputy, that sounds like self defense." He said and Sawyer nodded, "Because it was." She said and Lydia furrowed her brows, "Then why didn't you tell anyone. We'd all understand." Lydia said and Sawyer slowly shook her head.

"Scott found out... I don't know how he found out, I don't know what he thinks he knows, I couldn't hear his thoughts... But I don't know if we're still friends..." Sawyer said as a tear fell down her cheek while she mindlessly petted Anakin. Lydia sighed softly before sitting up and wrapping her arms around Sawyer, leaning her chin on the top of Sawyer's head.

"Does it help, knowing? Knowing what you are?" He asked and Sawyer and Lydia glanced at each other, "It doesn't scare me as much- that, I know." Lydia said and Sawyer nodded slightly. "I mean- it's comforting to have a general idea of what I am, but I'm a new supernatural, I have no idea what else I'm capable of. But at least I don't have to be scared when I figure out a new ability." She said.

"Do we scare you?" Lydia asked, looking at Parrish and he shrugged slightly, "Once." He said and both girls raised their eyebrows. "Seriously?" Sawyer asked and he nodded, "It was the night I found that Werewolf, the one with the talons. I thought I was going to die that night." He said and Lydia furrowed her brows.

"How come?" She asked and he sighed softly, "Because I saw the two of you. I saw the Banshee and the Clairvoyant. But, I guess it was just a dream or a hallucination." He said and Sawyer cocked an eyebrow. "What were we doing?" She asked and he shrugged slightly, "Trying to keep me alive." He said and Sawyer and Lydia looked at each other for a moment.

"Well, sorry, but the Banshee was mostly trying to stay out of the rain." Lydia said and Sawyer nodded slightly, "And the Clairvoyant was being a third wheel to her brother and Malia while trying to get her phone to work so she can text her girlfriend." Sawyer said and Lydia chuckled. "That was the night of the storm, remember? The Wild Hunt..." She said and Parrish furrowed his brows.

"The what?" He asked, "Oh, it's something Kira was telling me. A myth about thunderstorms, Ghost Riders in the sky, and black dogs..." She trailed off as she and Sawyer looked at each other. "What is it?" Parrish asked and Lydia shook her head slightly, "I need to check on something. I'll be right back." She said before walking out the cell room.

"I'm gonna go with her." Sawyer said before pointing at Parrish, "Don't go anywhere." She said. He just raised his eyebrows and gave her a look making her smile, "Come on, you should've expected me to say that at some point." She said before grabbing Anakin's leash and walking out, catching up to Lydia.

"What are you going to do?" Sawyer asked and Lydia stopped and turned to her, "I think I have an idea what Parrish is and I want to look at the Bestiary to make sure." She said and Sawyer nodded. "Want me to come with you?" Sawyer asked and Lydia shook her head slightly, "No, you stay here and keep an eye on Parrish. If he leaves, follow him. But be careful." Lydia said and Sawyer raised her eyebrows.

"Are you sure? The Dread Doctors are still out there, so are any more unknown Chimera." Sawyer said and Lydia nodded, "Yeah, I'll be fine." She said before quickly kissing her. "Call me when you figure it out or if something happens." Sawyer said and Lydia nodded before patting Anakin then walking away. Sawyer watched her walk out before going to walk back to the cell room but stopped when she noticed Stiles sitting in their father's office.

"Hey." She said as she walked into the office making him look up, "What are you doing here?" She asked and he sighed and shook his head slightly. "Waiting for dad. Are you still here with Parrish?" He asked and nodded, "Yeah, he locked himself in a cell." She said before sitting down next to him.

They were quiet as Anakin rested his head on Stiles' knees, making Stiles pet him. "So we're going to tell him?" Sawyer asked after a moment and Stiles sighed and nodded, "Yeah, we probably should." He said and she nodded. "I told Lydia and Parrish." She said, making him look at her, "How did they react?" He asked and she sighed.

"Better than Scott..." She said, making Stiles glance down at the ground while Sawyer leaned her head on his shoulder. All of the sudden the fire alarm started going off making them look at each other confused before running out the office. Instantly they noticed Parrish walking through the station smoking slightly.

"Wait, wait, wait!" Sawyer yelled when she saw the other deputies point their guns at Parrish. "Don't shoot! Stay back! Stay out of his way." Stiles yelled. Parrish just walked past everyone and out the door. Stiles and Sawyer glanced at each other before they and Anakin quickly followed Parrish.

🎭

Parrish, whose clothes have been burned away, except his pants, which have been burned into shorts, broke open a locked chain-link gate and walked toward a nearby van. Apparently unaware that Stiles, Sawyer and Anakin had been following him ever since they left the Sheriff's station and were currently ducked behind a row of cars to watch what he does next.

Parrish, in a trance, opens the back of the van to find a large plastic container that holds the dead body of Corey. Satisfied, he closed the doors before getting into the driver's seat of the van and started to drive away.

Stiles pulled his phone out and started texting someone. "What are you doing?" Sawyer asked, "Texting Theo." He said making her look at him weird. "Seriously? You wanna trust him with this? Something tells me he's behind Scott finding out." She asked and he sighed.

"I know, but Lydia's not answering you, Malia isn't answering either of us, Liam's busy with Hayden and Scott hates us right now. I hate it but Theo's our best shot." He said and she sighed and nodded, "I hate that he has to be our last resort.. " She mumbled and he nodded in agreement.

A few minutes later, a truck pulled into the lot, making them look over. "Sorry, I got here as fast as I could." Theo said as he got out of his truck, "We gotta go. Now. Parrish has the bodies-" Stiles said as he walked over to the truck with Sawyer and Anakin following. "Okay, wait up. Stiles, wait-"

"Parrish is out, and he's got the bodies. We've got to find Scott, and we've got to tell him-" Sawyer said as she opened the door, "Guys!" Theo yelled, making the twins stop and Sawyer shut the door. "I don't think Scott wants to talk to you guys right now." Theo said, making Stiles sigh, "Yeah, thanks, we're aware of that. It doesn't matter. He needs to know about this."

"Guys... Scott doesn't want to talk to you." He said, making Sawyer squint her eyes at him. "But I think your dad does." He said, holding up Stiles's school ID card making their eyes widen, "Your dad was looking for you two. He found me instead."

"Where is he?" Sawyer asked as tried to keep calm, "I covered for you. This was taken care of. If Melissa didn't find it at the hospital. I guess even the son of a cop can make mistakes." Theo said and the twins raised their eyebrows.

"Did you hurt him?"

"I never lied about why I came to Beacon Hills- I'm here for a pack. I came for the Werecoyote, the one whose first instinct is to kill. I came for the Banshee, the girl surrounded by death. I came for the Clairvoyant, the girl who created a whole new supernatural creature." Theo said, glancing over at Sawyer who clenched her fist slightly.

"I came for the dark Kitsune... The Beta with anger issues... I came for Void Stiles! That's the pack I want. Unfortunately, it doesn't include Scott." He said and Sawyer took a deep breath, "Your heartbeat's rising. It's not because you guys are afraid. The Nogitsune is gone, but you've both still got more blood on your hands than any of us." Theo said and Sawyer nodded slightly. "Yeah and I'm about to get more."

"I'll tell you where your dad is... if you promise not to help Scott." Theo said and Stiles just squinted at him for a moment before punching him in the face, making Theo stumble a bit. He started laughing before turning back to Stiles, "There he is! That's Void Stiles! It felt good, didn't it?" Theo asked and Stiles punched him again.

"We won't tell Scott... 'Cause you can't lose your best friend, right? Even though we both know you both never needed him." Theo said and Sawyer suddenly shot forward, grabbing Theo's shirt, pushing him up against his truck, making him chuckle. "You hate me now, but you'll get it eventually. This is the hard part... 'Cause you can't help Scott and save your dad's life. You've still got time, guys. You've still got time." Theo said.

Sawyer's eyes clouded over, before Theo groaned in pain when he heard countless whispers, which opened his mind for Sawyer to hear. After a moment, Sawyer let him go and started to take a step back as her eyes went back to normal. Theo took a deep breath as the whispers stopped but before he could do anything else, Sawyer punched him, making him groan.

"Let's go." Sawyer said, pulling her keys out before walking towards her car with her brother and Anakin following.

A little while later they ran into the basement of the house where they found Liam and Hayden to see Stilinski on the ground all bloody. "Dad!" Stiles and Sawyer yelled as they ran over to him, they instantly dropped down next to him and grabbed his hands.
