MADDIE COULD ONLY DESCRIBE THE WAY SHE WAS FEELING AS DISAPPOINTED BUT NOT SURPRISED. Maddie sighed, leaning against her bedroom door, one hand rubbing her forehead in distress while her other hand held her phone to her ear.

"So...she's working with Marcel to take down Klaus?" Maddie repeated and Isaac sighed over the phone. "Yup." The blonde werewolf nodded bluntly on the other side of the phone, earning a rough nudge in the side by Stiles.

"And Marcel was working with Tyler?" Maddie continued, and the boys nodded on the other line. "Yes." Scott answered and the Petrova woman nodded.

"But Rebekah snapped his neck so now they aren't working with Tyler anymore?" She questioned as she rubbed her forehead. "Exactly." Stiles nodded and Maddie sighed.

"But I didn't come up in the conversation at all?" She asked for confirmation and Scott sighed. "Not that we know of." He stated and Maddie then scoffed.

"Well, for a double agent, Rebekah is stupid. And Tyler's an idiot in general. I'm Klaus's biggest advantage and they're keeping me hush-hush." The Petrova woman stated as she took a sip of her apple juice.

"I think it was more about taking Klaus down." Isaac pointed out and Maddie rose an eyebrow. "Because I would let that happen?" She deadpanned and Isaac nodded slowly.

".... good point." He stated and Maddie sighed before shaking her head. "Okay, I'm going to go and make a plan. I think you three should come back here." The Petrova woman ordered and Scott nodded.

"On our way."

Malia hadn't said a word to Hayley since Elijah had gotten bitten, except for the occasional "move" when Elijah got a little too whiny, and Malia took some of his pain away. Maddie, however, had advised her to let him suffer and Malia never claimed to be a hero or a saint, so she did as told and let him suffer for the most part.

She was mostly there to ensure Elijah didn't hurt Hayley in his toxic-daydream induced state. Which sucked. Malia hated babysitting, but she couldn't lie that seeing Elijah suffer for the consequences of poor judgment wasn't the slightest bit satisfying.

Sometimes, she'd sneak a video and send it to Maddie, who called her a sadist and reclaimed her love for Malia. The werecoyote sighed, readjusting on the floor as she stretched out her legs with a huff.

Hayley was outside, sitting by the water for some peace and quiet. Malia jumped as Elijah arched off the bed and let out an exclamation of pain, gathering Hayley's attention as well as he spasmed, his hand knocking over a lamp causing it to smash on the floor.

Malia jumped up as Hayley ran inside, Malia holding his arms down as Hayley sat behind him, pulling his head into her lap as he breathed heavily. "Help him!" Hayley exclaimed to Malia who shook her head.
