Burn Amongst Humanity [D. Hale ]

|LXXXII|

"I think the coroner might be very confused, by the sight, of this girl's severed reptilian tail." Deaton explained patiently.

"Not to mention, the claws that produce a paralyzing toxin and the fangs that look utterly, terrifying, to anybody who doesn't know, about the other creatures of the night that you do, Sheriff." Casey pointed out and a severe glare was on Sheriff Stilinski's face, but Casey had no problem rather easily countering it. "Dr. Deaton and I have dealt with things like this before."

"I don't care!" Sheriff Stilinski shouted at them and Casey flinched briefly at the tone.

"You should. Unless you are going to be prepared enough to be able to hold a press conference to announce the presence of the supernatural creatures in Beacon Hills." Deaton countered and then at the words, Casey found herself almost now subconsciously, holding the triskele amulet around her neck in one of her hands. "Which would put almost all of Casey's family at risk."

"I thought that Casey didn't actually have any family left in the world." Casey flinched noticeably, at the sharp tone.

"I meant the Hales. Her daughter Talia Hale Junior, Derek, Tye, who is working his hardest to avoid the exposure. Beatrice, who was willing to die upstairs to protect you. Casey considers them her family, far more than most of her biological relative family." Deaton's tone was cold as he defended Casey, whose eyes shone in pain.

"Dad, he's right." Stiles said.

"Maybe back at the clinic we can figure out how to change her back, then call the coroner?" Scott suggested.

"There is a line... There is a line that we have to draw." Stilinski said and Casey was shaking her head.

"I'm not letting the entire pack and what remains of the Hale Family, be exposed because you and your pride as Sheriff, couldn't take another wound. I will take the body by force, if I have to. If you expose the supernatural world, then everything will fall apart." Casey threatened as Sheriff Stilinski looked at her.

"If you take that body from this station, then-then, you can turn in your badge and gun. Right, right now." Sheriff Stilinski snapped and Casey looked at him, before she stood up and she pulled off her badge as she gave them to him.

"Good luck, Stilinski." Casey's eyes were cold as ice as she looked down at Scott and Deaton. "Let's go." She said and they helped her pick up the body and they were taking her out of the Sheriff's station, wrapped up in Casey's jacket and Deaton's as well.

||Hale Loft||

Casey walked into the loft and she found that Beatrice was shuddering on the couch, as she held a bucket in her hands and Brett was sitting on the couch next to her. "Where-Where is your gun and badge?" Beatrice asked weakly, before she had her head in the bucket and she retched.

"I left them at the station. Stilinski, he told me that I had a choice. I could take the body and leave the badge and gun... Or I could keep the badge and gun, but risk exposing you and everyone else in the supernatural world." Casey explained and then swiftly, she was crouching down next to Beatrice. "If there is something else going on, Beat, you have to tell me now." She said and Beatrice winced.

The bucket was filling up with whatever had come up, as Beatrice's mouth was coated in black blood and Casey's eyes widened. "Show me." She said and Beatrice winced, as she gave the bucket to Brett and she pulled up her hoodie and her shirt.

Casey's eyes widened to the size of a pair of small moons at the moment as it was, when she saw that the wounds from the talons, they still hadn't healed.

From the attacks, that was now... just quite a few days before. "That isn't... It should have healed days ago." Casey said as Beatrice looked at her, before she nodded. "Why the hell, didn't you tell me?" Casey asked.

"Didn't want to worry you. You already have enough to worry about with the extra two heartbeats that are currently growing in your stomach, at the moment." Casey's eyes widened at the words.

"There's two?" Casey asked and Beatrice, she nodded a little. "You could've told me." Casey pointed out and Beatrice scoffed.

"No." Beatrice muttered and in her pocket, Casey's phone beeped. "That's Derek." Beatrice said as Casey looked at her. "I memorized your ringtones, since I was bored." She muttered.

"You're weird." Casey admitted and she grabbed her phone quickly and swiftly, she went into the other room to check her phone.
