🎭 Strange Frequencies 🎭


"Do you know him?" Theo asked as they stood around the body in the animal clinic. "His name's Josh. He was a junior." Scott said and Toni sighed before pulling the sheep back over the body. "Which one did it? The one with the cane?" Scott asked making Stiles and Theo glance at each other for a moment, "Yeah." Theo said.

"What are we going to do with him? We can't just set the alarm and leave, that's how Tracy disappeared." Stiles asked and no one answered right away, "Someone's got to stay here with him." Toni said. "I'll do it." Theo said making them look over at him, "It's not like I had a big Saturday night planned." Theo said and then Scott's phone went off making them look at him as he pulled his phone out, "What is it?" Stiles asked.

"Another one. Another Chimera."

Parrish pulled up to the school and got out as Malia, Toni and Lydia walked over to them. "We're betting our lives on these?" Malia asked after grabbing one of the jammers, "I think we're betting Hayden's life on them." Lydia said as Toni handed her one. "Yeah, well, I'm glad I brought my gun." Parrish said before shutting the trunk door. Lydia, Toni and Parrish walked into the locker room and Parrish started setting one of the jammers up.

"Is it me, or is Liam not aware of the second part of the plan?" Lydia whispered as she and Toni walked up to Scott, "I'm still not sure if there's going to be a second part..." He said. "Or if it's going to work." Lydia said and Scott nodded while Toni sighed. "If he finds out he's probably going a be really angry." She said and Scott sighed, "I know..."

"Scott." Toni said as she and Lydia walked up to Scott while Liam and Hayden talked. "We were thinking... Since we can't use our phones, we can't check in on Stiles and Theo." Lydia said making realization cross over Scott's face, "I didn't even think about that." He said and Toni nodded.

"Me, neither. So, we're standing here, waiting for some guys in masks and breathing tubes to show up. But who- or what- are Stiles and my brother waiting for?" Toni said and Scott sighed and shook his head slightly.

A little while later Lydia and Toni sat on one of the benches together while Scott paced back and forth and Liam and  Hayden sat against some lockers. Hayden was falling asleep on Liam's shoulder as he glanced around before noticing Scott's duffel bag.

He slowly got up, being careful not to wake up Hayden before walking over to the bag and opening it. The sound of chains rattling made Scott, Toni and Lydia look over to see Liam pulling out some chains from the bag. "What were you going to do with these?" Liam asked as he looked back at Scott who shook his bead slightly, "Brought them just in case." He said and Liam furrowed his brows.

"In case of what?" He asked and Lydia turned to him, "In case we had a chance to catch one of them." She said making Liam look at them in shock. "If we can't make the school a fortress, then maybe we can make it a trap." Scott explained and Liam squinted at him.

"They're coming for her- doesn't that mean she's the bait?" Liam asked and Toni sighed and stood up, "Liam, we brought her here to protect her." She said and he nodded and slammed the chains down. "And now she's bait." He said and Hayden looked at them as she stood up, "Am I?" She asked.

"No, no one's bait. But we can't be bodyguards to everyone every night." Scott asked and Liam raided his eyebrows, "Then why aren't we talking to Stiles' dad? Why aren't we doing something better than hiding in a school?" He asked and Scott shook his head slightly.

"Because we still don't know anything about them or what they want, okay? They're winning, and we don't even know what the game is." Scott asked and Liam gestured to the jammer as he walked up to Scott. "What if they come in here and those things don't work? What if you have an asthma attack again? What are we gonna do?" Liam asked and Scott sighed softly, "I don't know."

"This plan sucks!" Liam yelled and Scott raised his eyebrows, "You got a better one? Kids are dying, and she's next! So, somebody has to do something. Somebody has to save everyone. So somebody's got to be the bait!" Scott said in frustration making Toni sigh softly.

"Scott... Promise me you'll do everything you can to save her. Scott- promise." Liam said in a slight whisper and Scott nodded, "I'll do everything I can. I promise." He said. "Guys..." Hayden said making them look over at her as she dug around her bag, "I think I might need a little help right now. I forgot my pills. I have a bottle in my locker. I can get them, but-" She said but Scott cut her off. "I'll get them. What's your combination?" Scott asked.

A few seconds later Scott, Lydia and Toni walked out to the hall, "Hurry. We'll keep watch. Be careful." Toni said and Scott nodded walking down the hall. Lydia and Toni stood out in the hall for a few minutes before hearing something down the hall. "What was that?" Lydia asked as Toni walked ahead slightly, "Scott?" She called out but got no response.

"Stay here." Toni said making Lydia's eyes widen, "What?" Lydia hissed as she grabbed Toni arm making Azalea stop. "What of it's the Dread Doctor's?" Lydia asked and Toni nodded, "That's what I wanna figure out. If you see something, scream." Toni said and Lydia sighed before nodding and letting her go.

"Scott?" Toni called out again but all she got in response was the sound of footsteps making her follow the sound until she turned another corner. She stopped and sighed when she saw the Dread Doctor's. "Where is Hayden?" One of them asked and she rolled her eyes, "Like you don't already know." She said before walking past them.

She turned the corner and jumped slightly when she almost ran into Mason. "Holy-" Mason said as he put his hand to his head and Toni sighed, "I think you might have a death wish for coming here but something's wrong and we need to find Scott." Toni said and Mason nodded.

They looked around for a moment before finding Scott in the biology class making them run in. Scott looked like he was choking making Toni glance around before finding a scaple. She ran over to him and dragged the scaple down his hand making him scream out in pain as his trance broke.

"Sorry! I'm sorry! That was the first thing I thought off!" Toni said and he glanced around alarmed for a moment. "What happened?" He asked before noticing Mason, "What are you doing here?" He asked. "I found another Chimera. His name's Corey." Mason said making Toni's eyes widen, "Wait a minute..." She trailed off as she looked at Scott who seemed to realize the same thing.

"Where's Liam and Hayden?"

Minutes later Scott, Toni and Mason suddenly ran into the locker room where Malia and Lydia stood. "They're gone... Hayden and Liam are gone."
