Jane and Isaac meet up with the pack and Mason behind the school, between the school buses. They discuss Donovan and Tracy Stewart.
"Tracy wasn't just having trouble sleeping. It was a real disorder. It was night terrors." Lydia tells them.
"Well, now she's the night terror. Especially since no one can find her." Stiles points out and Malia glances at her boyfriend.
"Okay, I know we're all tired and miserable..." Scott trails off and looks over at Mason. "Except for you."
Mason turns to Scott, speaking after a minute. "Oh, I'm sorry." He starts smiling enthusiastically. "This is all just mind-blowing. You're a kitsune. I don't even know what that is."
Kira lifts her shoulders slightly. "I'm still learning."
"Liam, we said you could tell him. Not invite him to the inner circle." Stiles tells the beta.
"Uh, I'm in the inner circle?" Mason questions.
"No." Liam, Stiles, and Isaac say in unison. Stiles and Isaac share a look. Jane smiles slightly, seeing how they grow to tolerate each other.
"Guys, look, back to Tracy. She's just one lone wolf. We can find her." Scott speaks.
"One lone serial-killing wolf." Malia corrects the alpha.
Jane furrows her eyebrows slightly. "How are we even sure she's a wolf? I mean, we've all had kanimas, kitsunes, a nogitsune, a pack of alphas, werecoyote, and werejaguar. And whatever reason why I was on the Deadpool. I mean, who knows what's next?"
Everyone glances at Jane. Scott frowns slightly, seeing Jane's point.
"Jane has a point but...Uh, Tracy only killed one person, you know. The other two were mauled. What do we do when we catch her?" Stiles questions.
Malia glances at Scott before looking over at her boyfriend. She lifts her shoulders slightly. "I say we put her down."
Malia and Lydia share a look and then Lydia shares a look with Kira. Mason looks between them before speaking.
"Intense," Mason comments with a small nod.
Stiles looks over at Scott, glancing slightly at Jane and Isaac as both of them look tired of this already. He rolls his eyes at the sassy duo.
"Guys, let's concentrate on catching her first. We'll figure out the rest later." Scott announces.
Isaac and Jane share a look before both look at Malia, who looks back. She sends them a small nod and they return the favor, agreeing on putting Tracy down when the time comes. Jane doesn't wanna be a killer but Tracy is unstable and a danger to Beacon Hills. It's one supernatural creature against a whole town filled with innocent humans, werewolves, kitsunes, and werecoyotes.

Mrs. Finch hands out the results from the test that showed whether they should take AP Biology or not.
Mrs. Finch places Scott's test result on his desk. "Nice to see where your priorities are, Scott. Since you have such a good grasp of the subject, how about you lead us in a review of last night's reading." Mrs. Finch gives him a nod.
Scott looks up at Mrs. Finch. "Uh...Sure." He opens his biology book, marked yellow by a highlight pen.
Suddenly Scott glances to the side, seeing Liam waving at them to come from the open door. Mrs. Finch takes back Scott's attention by calling out his name.
"Scott?" Mrs. Finch questions with crossed arms.
"Sorry, just looking for the page." Scott apologizes as he flips through pages in the biology book. Scott glances at Liam again, who keeps waving for him to come.
"Scott?" Mrs. Finch questions again.
"Yeah, one sec. Sorry." Scott apologizes quietly as he looks down at the book and flipping through the pages, trying to find the right page.
"Scott..." Mrs. Finch says.
Scott looks down at the book, tapping his ear and signaling for Liam to talk.
"She's here. She's in history class right now. Tracy. She's here." Liam whispers, unheard by Lydia and Jane, as they both have human senses.
Theo glances at the door, listening to Liam too.
"Tell me what he says and I'll not hold a grudge against you," Jane tells the hazel-eyed boy, half-threateningly.
"I didn't know you were holding a-" Theo begins, frowning confused.
"Stiles was my first friend in Beacon Hills and is currently my best friend and partner in crime. I don't care how much I really believe you or how much Scott believes you. I stand by my best friend. But I might give you a chance." Jane states.
Theo looks over at her. "Tracy's here. She's in history class. Which Liam shares with Tracy and Hayden Romero."
Jane purses her lips, nodding slightly.
"Wait a second- Were- Were you just playing me?" Theo questions.
Jane shrugs. "Perhaps. You can never be too guarded around a supernatural. I'm human. You're stronger and faster. You got claws and fangs."
Theo narrows his hazel-colored gaze at the auburn-haired Parrish girl, wondering what's so special about her and why he's grown attached. He never thought he would care this much about the human girl.
🐺🌕🦈
Scott and Mr. Yukimura carry Tracy out of the school as Liam and Hayden watch them. They carry her to Stiles' car to take her to the animal clinic.
Jane and Liam walk over to Kira, Isaac, and Lydia after Hayden walks away from Liam.
"They're taking her to the animal clinic?" Kira questions.
"Yeah, to see if Deaton can figure out what's wrong with her," Liam replies between heavy breaths after they have run towards the kitsune and banshee.
"What's wrong with her is that she killed two people," Lydia whispers. "Her father and, according to Parrish, her psychiatrist."
"Isn't there anyone else we can talk to?" Kira questions Liam and Jane. "Does she still have her mom? Any family?"
Lydia presses her lips together, looking down but a hint of realization crosses her face and she looks up at Kira. "Alpha." She states. "If she's a werewolf, she has an alpha, right?"
Kira nods slowly and slightly.
"Anyone knows if a new one's moved into Beacon Hills?" Lydia questions.
"No, but there is an old one. One of the oldest." Kira states and turns to Liam and Jane. "We know her."
"And her pack," Liam states with a slightly annoyed look, knowing he has to talk to Brett.
"You go over to her pack. I'm gonna go to the clinic and help. Be careful, J." Isaac states, before walking out of the school.
🐺🌕🦈
Mason, Liam, and Jane walk in from between the benches and look at Brett training with his teammates. Without a shirt, revealing his abs.
Mason has his mouth open slightly, admiring the werewolf. Brett spots them after making a shot, placing his lacrosse stick behind his neck.
Liam crosses his arms, looking at Brett. Mason glances over at Jane and Liam.
"So, he's a werewolf too?" Mason questions.
"Yup," Liam states simply.
"Most definitely. And not an ugly one. Although, I've never ever seen an ugly werewolf." Jane states bluntly. Liam sends her a look, before looking back at Brett with slight jealousy. Now he has two guys to worry about; Brett Talbot and Theo Raeken.
Mason scoffs quietly, shaking his head slowly with amazement. "This just gets better and better."
🐺🌕🦈
Liam holds his phone up in front of Brett with a photo of Tracy Stewart on it. Brett observes the photo.
"Cute. But never seen her." Brett tells them before putting his lacrosse gloves into his bag.
"Could Satomi have turned her without you knowing?" Liam questions.
Brett looks back at Liam. "After the Deadpool, Satomi's not exactly doing much recruiting."
"That's how it works? Alpha werewolves just go around biting people?" Mason questions.
Jane closes her eyes, failing to see how this is of importance right now. They should focus on Tracy instead of how you become a werewolf. What is this? Lycanthropy 101?
"Or you can be born, like me and my sister. Satomi took us in after our family died in a fire." Brett speaks as Liam closes closer at the photo of Tracy and zooms in on the photo.
"Guys, I think I just found something," Liam announces, looking at her necklace. The same one he found in the hole he fell into when he, Jane, and Stiles stalked Theo.
🐺🌕🦈
Liam, Brett, Mason, and Jane walk through the woods as Liam tries to re-find the hole he fell into.
"Sure you know where you're going?" Brett questions.
"I know where I am," Liam states.
Mason and Jane walk behind the two werewolves, and the humans share a look as they both sense a coming argument.
"So do I. Middle of nowhere." Brett comments.
Suddenly the werewolves hear a thudding behind them and turn around.
"Guys?" Mason calls out.
"I think we found your hole, Li." Jane states as the werewolves walk over and look down at the humans before sharing a look. Then they look back at Mason and Jane.
"See the necklace?" Liam questions.
Mason turns on the flashlight on his phone, walking around in a crouched-down position as he looks around the hole.
Mason then looks up at the werewolves. "No, I don't see it."
Brett stretches down his arm, dragging Mason up. Liam does the same with Jane but holds her by her waist after pulling her up and kisses her forehead firmly.
"Liam, I...I thought you said this was a sinkhole." Mason speaks, crouching down in front of the hole.
"It's a hole. What's the difference?" Liam questions, tightening his grip slightly around Jane's waist as his possessive side is showing.
Liam, Brett, and Jane crouch down too.
"I mean, look at all these handprints and look at all this dirt," Mason tells them.
"She didn't fall in here," Brett states and shares a look with Mason.
"She was buried." Liam realizes.
Mason breathes out slightly. "Intense." He repeats his earlier words.
🐺🌕🦈
Liam looks around the hole with the flashlight on his phone. He keeps searching with his hands and his eyes. He uses his right hand to try to feel the necklace.
"Why isn't it here?" Liam questions in a slightly raspy voice.
Jane stands beside Brett as the werewolf has his arms crossed.
"She probably came back for it," Brett tells him.
Liam exhales, standing up inside the hole before jumping up on the ground beside Mason. He turns around and looks down at the hole.
"I don't think this is the one," Liam states making Brett look at him.
"What do you mean?" Brett and Jane question in unison.
"It was closer to the bridge. Much closer. This is a different hole." Liam realizes.
"Then who crawled out of this one?" Mason questions.
Jane furrows her eyebrows. "I'm guessing it ain't a cute little squirrel named Joe."
🐺🌕🦈
Jane and Liam eventually end up in Liam's bedroom. They get under the sheet and cuddle the rest of the night.
"What if I'm not human at all?" Jane questions quietly.
Liam kisses her forehead. "Then I'll help you figure out what you are. And how to teach you how to control it. I mean, you're dating a werewolf with anger issues. Your brother is a hellhound and your brother figure, Isaac Lahey, is also a werewolf. Your friends are a kitsune, a banshee, and a werecoyote."
Jane chuckles lightly. "Yeah, our lives aren't definitely normal. But I kind of like it like this."
"Me too." Liam smiles softly down at her as he plays with her with his fingers between her strands of hair.
Jane lets out a soft sigh before snuggling closer into Liam's chest and her body going limp before she closes her eyes and falls asleep.

A/N:
I hope you enjoyed this chapter! Still trying to update as often as possible! Have a good Thursday!
The squirrel comment is a Damon Salvatore reference if you thought it was. I love The Vampire Diaries. I'm a big fan of the supernatural. Teen Wolf, Supernatural, The Vampire Diaries, The Originals, Legacies, Twilight.
Sorry for the short chapter! The next chapter will be longer! Who's excited to see when Jane becomes a chimera?
Any suggestion on when it should happen? At the same time as Corey, Josh, Hayden or at her own time? Please don't be silent readers, because I have no idea myself and could really use some advice.
