"Has anyone else been through here tonight?" Faline asks. "Any other bodies or even anybody missing?"
"No bodies," Melissa says. "But-"
"What?" Faline asks as Stiles watches his girlfriend in confusion.
"Two girls," Melissa says. "They brought the first one in, Caitlin, for a tox screen, and then I overheard that her girlfriend, Emily, just disappeared. I mean they were out in the woods and-"
"Nobody's found her yet?" Faline asks.
"I don't know"
"The first one," Faline says.
"Caitlin"
"Is she still here?"
"I think so"
"Where?"
"Wait," Melissa says.
"I need to talk to her"
"Why?" Stiles asks his girlfriend.
"I don't think these are murders," Faline says. "I just need to see her"
"Alright," Melissa says. "Stiles and I will keep watch"
Faline slips into the room.
"Who are you?"
"I'm Faline and I need to ask, why were you and Emily in the woods?"
"We weren't doing anything that bad" Caitlin says. "I mean, I've camped out there plenty of times"
"Why tonight?" Faline asks, keeping her voice soft.
"We wanted to be alone for one night," Caitlin says. "Emily lives with her mom and I have three roommates. Not exactly romantic settings, you know?"
"How long have you two been together?" Faline asks.
"Three months," Caitlin says.
"You wanted to make it romantic" Faline says.
"You know because-"
"Because it was her first time," Faline says.
"They're gonna find her right?" Caitlin asks. "Aren't they?"
"They're going to do their very best," Faline says, squeezing Caitlin's. "Now get some sleep"
Faline gently touches Caitlin's forehead and the girl falls asleep with a small smile on her face.
"What did you do?"
"Give her good dreams," Faline says. "All the good memories of her and Emily are playing in her head right now. Stiles get Scott on the phone. Now"
"Faline what is going on?"
"Just get Scott to meet us in the morgue"
"So Boyd and Cora didn't kill anyone?" Scott asks.
"You're gonna wish they did," Faline says.
"Why?"
"I'm not exactly sure yet," Faline says. "They're all virgins and they're all going to have the same three injuries. Strangled, throat slashed, head bashed in. It's called a threefold death. These aren't random"
"So if these aren't random killings, then what are they?" Scott asks and Faline looks up at Scott.
"Scott, these aren't murders, they're sacrifices. Human sacrifices"
Faline stands in front of her coven.
"As of today" Faline calls. "Three teenagers have been killed. Three innocent teenagers in the wrong place at the wrong time. Three virgins. They were strangled, had their throats cut, and had their head bashed in. As you all know this is the threefold death. These weren't the act of a serial killer which most will believe, just some loon that has some crazed fetish. No we all know, these are the acts of someone practicing dark magic. The darkest magic there is. This is a dark ritual and if I found out someone in this coven had something to do with it or is an accomplice to whoever is doing this-"
"What you'll tell the police?" A young witch Sofia asks, raising an eyebrow.
"Oh no, that'd be too kind," Faline says, smirking at Sofia. "I'll take your magic and then I'll throw you to the wolves. Now I may be young, but the truth is I know better than anyone what we're up against, and I can build peace, or I can burn our enemies to the ground. The question isn't whether or not I stay as your regent. That decision was made long ago. The question is what the hell would you do without me?"
