"Alex, I need to control my powers," I said. "I mean, how is it that you can?"

"Cause I started training how to," he answered. "With some little practice along the years, it became easier."

"You actually had a guide," I muttered. "Whereas Mom was making me focus on thoughts at the time. I need to learn how to shut it off. Mom could do it and when I look into people's memories, I want to be able to pull myself out of it."

"Don't you?" he questioned.

"I told you, it's some scream." At that moment, I heard it again, loud and clear except this scream had emotions of fear. "Did you hear that?"

"No... " he trailed off.

My phone rang. I picked it up. "Olivia?"

"Hey, kid, I'm at the hospital," she said. "Your friend's gone missing."

"Lydia?" I questioned.

"Yeah," she nodded. "Just thought you should know. We're gonna do what we can to find her."

"Olivia, how long was she missing?" I asked.

"Maybe ten minutes ago?" she responded.

I hung up and started out the door, Alex following me curiously.

"Alex, stay here," I told him. "If Olivia comes back home and I'm not there... stall her."

"What is it?" he asked.

"Lydia went missing," I explained. "So I gotta find her."

"I should- "

I cut him off. "Stay here. Post on social media and see if anyone's seen her."

As I got outside, my phone rang again. Allison. After what happened at the Hale house, a lot of confusion went around. I was glad Allison accepted her werewolf boyfriend and when I told her about me, she was actually pretty impressed and remembered instances where I could detect her emotions.

"Hey," Allison began. "Did you hear- "

"About Lydia?" I interrupted. "Yeah, Olivia's at the hospital."

"Well, we need to find her so I'm picking you up," Allison said.

At that moment, her car appeared next to me. I quickly got in and Allison drove us to the hospital. One: since this was where she was last seen. And two: because we both knew Stiles was there and that meant Scott would most likely be there, too.

We got out of the car and I saw Stiles's beat-up jeep. We jogged up to it and his headlights went on. I ran to the back of the jeep, opened the door, and hopped in. Stiles, who watched me, let out a breath, unable to stop me.

"What are you doing here?" Scott asked. "Someone's gonna see us."

"I don't care," Allison said. "She is my best friend and we need to find her before they do."

"I can find her before the cops can," Scott said.

"How about before my father does?" she asked with a knowing look.
