"Dreamcatchers"

Beatrice and Scott were both quickly racing after the scent and Scott held a walkie-talkie securely in hand.
Meanwhile, right back at the site of the transport crash, Casey was with help from Parrish, interviewing witnesses like Kira, Lydia and Malia.
Just because Lydia could understand her, doesn't mean, that they all could unfortunately. "Casey?" Lydia asked as Casey turned around in a slow circle, absolutely sure that she had felt eyes on her. Casey spotted a shadow against the wall, but the shadow moved and disappeared before she could do really anything about it. "Are you all right?" Lydia asked and Casey realized that she had been instinctively reaching for her gun at her hip.
"I'm okay. Just thought... But, never mind." Casey signed and she let her hand fall away from her gun. "Was this a Banshee fugue state?" Casey asked and Lydia, she nodded. "Then we need to find a reasonable way to explain this. How you found the body, what were you doing before this?"
Beatrice and Scott had come back with Donovan in tow, still handcuffed and clearly terrified, still stunned by whatever the hell had happened in front of him.
After handing Donovan over to Sheriff Stilinski and Parrish again, Beatrice looked over at Casey, who was still uneasy and now, she was looking around. "What's wrong?" She asked and Casey glanced swiftly over to look at her. "You smell like anxiety and paranoia." Beatrice admitted and Casey sighed.
"Can you take a look around the scene and up on the walls by the parking lots, and just see, if you can catch any other scents? I just, I could have sworn that I saw someone else up there." Casey said and Beatrice nodded. "Just don't let anyone else see you." She reminded her.
"Don't worry, Case. I know how to keep a low profile, you taught me how to." Beatrice reminded her with a very small smile before she was backing up until she was able to disappear at werewolf speed into the darkness all around them.
Beatrice walked back into the crime scene and she looked over at Casey, as she raised her eyebrows. Casey excused herself as she walked over to Beatrice. "Got anything?" Casey asked and Beatrice nodded.
"I got another scent. From the direction that you indicated, there was someone else standing there. The scent pooled, so... I mean, he must have been standing there for at least a few minutes or so." Beatrice said very quietly and real quick, Casey quickly looked around at the area.
"Whose scent?" She asked.
"Theo Raeken." Beatrice muttered as Casey's eyes narrowed suspiciously at the name. "He must have heard the sirens or smelled blood, or something because he was standing right there."
"It must have been his shadow that I saw." Casey signed and she looked at Donovan, who was still freaked out at whatever had transpired. "Good job on finding him." She remarked.
"I had help. I've been feeling a little off, lately. I worked it out with Scott for it, but he did most of the work. I just carried the walkie-talkie, I mean, there is something going on with my senses." Beatrice murmured.
"Could you be evolving?" Casey asked and Beatrice shook her head. "Are you sure?"
"Yeah, I'm sure. Because I evolved after the fire. I went full-wolf form after the fire for nearly six months, before Satomi found me and forced me back to human form. I never told you?" Beatrice asked and Casey shook her head. "Well, now you know." She said.
"Wait... Let me see the wound from those talons." Casey said and Beatrice looked around. "When we get home. It doesn't have to be here." Casey said.

Tye was at the loft doing his homework for university, while it was Casey, who was at the Beacon Hills High school on her day off, just to try to help with what limited information that they had, on the whereabouts of Tracy Stewart.
"Tracy wasn't just having trouble sleeping. It was a real disorder. It was night terrors." Lydia explained to them all.
"I used to get those. After the fire." The group all looked at her. "The Hale Fire, not the one that burned my house down and scorched my vocal cords."
"I used to get nightmares and panic attacks, but not night terrors. If one of you could explain the difference, I'd like to know more." Beatrice admitted and Casey nodded.
"Explain later." Casey said and Beatrice nodded silently in agreement at the words.
"Well, now she's the night terror. And especially now, especially since no one can find her." Stiles remarked.
"The entire sheriff's department is on watch for her. Well, the ones that are on duty, anyways." Casey said and he looked at her. "It's my day off. I could be sleeping right now, Stiles, just try to remember that."
"Okay, I know we're all tired and miserable... Except for you." Scott amended his words after seeing that Mason was wide awake and, he was just absorbing everything that he could, in regards to information.
"Oh. I'm sorry. This is all just so mind-blowing." Mason replied and Casey shrugged a little. "Remind me what you are, again?" Mason asked.
"I'm a human being with both attitude and some seriously crispy and burned, vocal cords." Casey was completely serious and Beatrice sighed.
"She's a human who was raised to hunt us. Who also happens to be now engaged to my oldest living cousin, a werewolf like myself, Scott, Tye and Liam." Beatrice explained and Mason nodded.
"Wow." Mason said and Casey sighed.
"I'll let you know if I hear anything from Parrish. Until then, none of you do anything, is that clear?" Casey asked and they all nodded at the words and Casey was walking away.

"Still a show-off." Beatrice said and she was shaking her head and Brett was walking over to her, Liam and Mason. "You got a couple minutes?"
"What is going on now?" Brett asked and Beatrice rolled her eyes a little bit at the words.
"Liam, you find the picture yet?" She asked and Liam held out his phone to show Brett, the recent picture of Tracy in the yearbook.
"Cute. But never seen her." Brett said as he packed up his lacrosse gear into his pack.
"Could Satomi have turned her without you knowing?" Liam asked and Beatrice was shaking her head.
"Highly unlikely. Considering what happened after the dead pool, I doubt that any alphas in Beacon Hills would go out of their way to bite any more people." Beatrice remarked.
"Exactly. After the dead pool, Satomi's not exactly doing much, recruiting for the pack. Tye is looking around the states and outside of Beacon Hills for Betas, right?" Brett asked and Beatrice nodded, putting her hands into her pockets.
"Yup. He doesn't really want to have to bring anyone else into his pack, he would prefer to find werewolves or other supernaturals who are without packs, as opposed to just dragging a bunch of other innocent people into the warzone that our world is." She noted.
"That's how it works? Alpha werewolves, they just go around biting people?" Mason asked and he almost sounded excited, and Beatrice winced a little.
Her hand went up to the side of her head and they all looked at her, as she was shaking her head. "Beat?" Brett asked.
"I'm okay." Beatrice said as the momentary pang of pain was gone and she blinked. "Sorry, what were we talking about?" She asked.
"Or you can be born, like me and my sister. Or like most of Beatrice's family like she was. Satomi took us in after our family died in a fire. Similar to how we met Beatrice, actually." Brett said and Beatrice was looking down at the triskele tattoo that she had gotten done, on her right inner elbow and he shrugged. "You, Beat, are definitely running out of room on your arms for tattoos." He said and she nodded.
"No kidding." Beatrice replied as she rolled down the sleeves of her hoodie again, to cover them all.
"Guys? I think I just found something." Liam said and he was looking at his phone.
