'Hello, Anna' Garret said in a venomous tone. He was holding his lacrosse stick, a silver knife coming out of it. Anna looked at him in horror. Her heart in her throat. There was a possibility he didn't know she was on the deadpool, so she tried to act if nothing was wrong.
'What are you doing here?' Anna asked as unknowingly as possible.
'Come on, Anna,' Garret laughed. 'You know why I'm here.'
Anna's heart dropped, but she wasn't going to give up. 'Where's Liam?' she asked him, more confidence in her voice.
'Don't worry, you'll see him soon enough,' Garret told her and he walked towards her. Anna took a step backwards, and another one, and another one. Then she turned around and started running to the emergency exit. Unfortunately, Garret was faster than her. He swung his lacrosse stick and hit her at her leg with the knife. Anna fell on the ground and groaned in pain. Garret, who now stood next to her, looked a bit surprised.
'You're not a werewolf,' he said. 'Well, that doesn't matter, though. You're still on that list.'
With those words, he swung the stick once more. He hit Anna's head and her vision went black.
---
Anna woke up at the back of a car. She got up and saw that she was alone. She desperately tried to open the doors, but they were locked, of course. The only thing she could see as she looked out of the windows, were trees. Oh my god, he's gonna kill me here. I'm gonna die.
Anna wanted to grab her phone, but it was gone. Damn it. She peeked outside again and saw Garret approaching the car. He opened the car door grabbed the girl's arm, before dragging her out of the car.
'Let's go, Anna,' he sounded evil. He dragged her through the woods to some old well. It was covered with plants and a pallet was on top of it. Garret got loose of it and forced Anna to the edge. She peeked into the well, it was dark and very deep. She could barely see the bottom of it, but for a moment she thought she could see something move down there. Something, or someone.
'Garret, don't!' they heard a voice faintly yell.
Liam?
'Are you gonna jump, or do I have to push you in,' Garret said impatiently. Anna gave him a look full of hate and climbed on the edge. She knew he was faster and stronger than her, so running wasn't a good idea and fighting him would not end well. She looked down and hesitated. What if there was something sharp down there, or anything deadly?
'This is taking too long,' Garret stated and he pushed Anna forwards, causing her to fall. She screamed as she fell for a few seconds before she hit the water. She gasped for breath and she realised she was still alive, at the bottom of the old well. A sudden hand on her shoulder caused her to jump.
'Oh my god, Liam!'
'Anna,' Liam breathed. 'Are you okay? Did he hurt you?' he asked worried.
'He cut my leg,' Anna said and she looked up at him. Liam didn't say anything. He just opened his arms and pulled the girl into a hug. She immediately hugged him back, glad she had found him.
'Gosh, I was so worried,' Anna said.
'I'll get us out of here,' Liam said. 'I promise.'
Anna smiled and pulled back from the hug. Then she noticed a stab wound on his chest.
'What happened to you,' she asked pointing at it.
'Garret stabbed me,' Liam told her. 'He got to me on our run. First, he hit me with his car, then he stabbed me and brought me here.'
Anna narrowed her eyes as she inspected his wound. She yellow colour on the wound confirmed what she was worried about.
'He stabbed you with the same blade as Brett,' she told him. 'It was dipped in wolfsbane.'
Liam's eyes widened when he realised what she meant. Wolfsbane was extremely dangerous for werewolves. And since this was a very poisonous species, it could be fatal if he didn't get an antidote.
'But he did cut you too,' Liam said.
'I don't know if it will affect me, I'm not a werewolf.'
'But what if it does?' Liam asked. Anna honestly didn't want to think about that.
'We have to get you out of here,' she stated.

It was already lunchtime and Scott hadn't seen him since she went looking for Liam at the library. She hadn't replied to any of his texts and neither had Liam. Scott got the feeling that something was wrong, so he went looking for Mason, hoping she was with him. Mason was at his locker, but Anna wasn't with him. Scott was about to ask him if he had seen his sister when his phone buzzed. He hesitated for a second when she saw the caller ID. It said 'Anna'. Scott swiped the green button to the right and answered the call.
'Anna?'
'Sounds like you already know the answer to that, Scott.'
Garret. He had them. Scott paused for a second, looking around, but Garret wasn't there.
'Where are they?'
'Come on, like I'm actually gonna tell you that,' Garret said.
'I'll give you the money,' Scott told Garret. Scott was getting angry. If he did anything to his sister or Liam...
'Yeah, you will,' Garret replied. 'But that's not gonna get you Liam or Anna back. You're gonna have to put a little more effort than that.'
'What do you want?'
'I want the money and Violet, or you never see them again. Meet me at the busses in five minutes,' Garret told the alpha before he hung up the phone. Scott stared at his phone for a second. He felt like this was all his fault. If he just had gone with Anna, this never would have happened. He had to get the back, it was his responsibility.
'Okay,' Scott said when he stood in front of Garret. 'What do you want? You want me to go to Stilinski? I can do that. Or I can talk to my father, he's an FBI agent-'
'You think I want you talking to anyone with a batch?' Garret cut him off. 'I'm not getting help from a werewolf because I want him to talk to someone.'
'Then what am I suppose to do.'
'They're transferring Violet to a federal facility. You're not gonna let that happen,' Garret said, pointing at Scott with his lacrosse stick.
'How?'
'They're gonna put her in a car, we're gonna follow it. When we get ahead of it, you stop it.'
'You want me to attack a car, that's your plan?' Scott asked him in disbelieve. What was he thinking?
'You're an alpha. If you can't stop one little car, then one little beta and one little sister are going to die,' Garret said and he let the blade come out of the stick.
'I stabbed them with a blade dipped in wolfsbane. I don't know if it will affect your little sister, but it sure will affect Liam. And when it gets to the heart, bad things happen.'
---
'We're taking her now,' Scott's dad said when he walked out of his office.
'But dad, isn't that a little dangerous? Garret is still out there, maybe we should let someone else do it,' his son told him.
'I appreciate the concern,' his dad said. 'But after what happened with Katashi and losing evidence of an amour truck, I'm not letting this out of my sight. If you're still worried, you should know that we've got Beacon Hills finest coming with us,' he pointed at the sheriff, who was walking to the transfer car with Violet. Violet smirked at Scott when she passed them. She knew what was going on.
This is gonna be bad.
---
Scott opened the case Garret had given him. There was some sort of gun inside it. Scott was wondering what he was supposed to do with it. It's not like you can just shoot at an armoured police car.
'This is not going to work,' Scott tried, but Garret had other thoughts.
'All you have to do is stop the car,' he told me. 'I'll take care of the rest.'
Scott opened his mouth to say something back, but a black car passed them. It was the car with Violet in it. And Scott's dad. And the sheriff. Scott sighed and put on his hood, hoping they wouldn't recognise him. Garret started the car and followed them.
'There is a stop sign half a mile ahead,' Garret announced.
'So, I take out the tires with my claws?' Scott asked.
'Teeth, claws, heat-vision, whatever. Just stop them, you're ready?'
Heat-vision?
Scott saw the police car coming closer. He still hesitated, if he helped Garret, he would probably get away. But if he didn't, Liam and Anna would be in much more trouble. When they were almost at the police car, Scott noticed something was wrong. The car was on its side
'Stop. Stop the car!'
Garret stopped the car and Scott quickly got out. He saw sheriff Stilinski dragging Scott's dad away from the wrecked car. It was obvious Violet was gone.
'Dad!' Scott ran towards them. 'Dad!'
'Scott,' the sheriff breathed, stopping the boy.
Garret also got out of the car and he grabbed his lacrosse stick, the knives coming out if it.
'She's not in the car, Violet's gone!' Scott yelled, but Garret didn't seem to listen. He had a very angry expression on his face.
'Scott, listen to me, listen,' the sheriff grabbed his arm. 'They're still here. They're still here!'
Scott's eyes widened when he realised what the sheriff was talking about.
Berserkers
He saw the huge creature approaching the from his eye corners. Garret saw it too and swung with the lacrosse stick, 'You want me? Come on, come and get me!'
Clearly, Garret had no idea what he was dealing with. He had never seen or heard about these creatures. The berserker didn't move when Garret got closer to him, making some moves with the stick. 'Yeah, that's right. You're not so big,' Garret yelled. 'You're not so big!'
When he said that, another berserker came from behind him and stabbed him with a blade right towards his chest. He let go his stick and blood started coming from his mouth. The berserker dropped Garret on the ground, he was dead. Scott quickly stood up, ready to fight them, but the sheriff warned him.
'Scott!'
The boy turned around and the last thing he saw was a berserker before everything went black.

'Come one, Liam! You can do it!'
Liam was climbing the walls and Anna was still in the cold water at the bottom of the old well. It was built out of individual stones, so you could climb them with enough grip. Liam looked down over his shoulder and she sent him an encouraging smile. He kept climbing, but he began to lose his grip on the stones. He was halfway when he couldn't place his feet anywhere.
'Watch out!' Anna shouted, but it was too late. Liam's hands slipped off the stones.
'No, no, no!' he said and fell into the water.
'Come on!' he yelled and hit the wall with his bare fist.
'Ah!' he groaned in pain and Anna quickly grabbed his hand. There was blood, mixed with yellow wolfsbane on his knuckles. She looked in his eyes as he got calmer.
'We're stuck here,' Anna told him.
'No,' Liam stated. 'I promised I'd get us out of here.'
Anna gave him a small smile and let go of his hand. Liam took a deep breath and moved to the wall again. He was about to pull himself up when Anna felt a sudden pain in her stomach. It wasn't that bad, but it didn't feel right. She lifted my shirt to see what caused it, but there was nothing to see.
'What are you doing?' Liam asked confused, looking over his shoulder. Anna had no idea what she was doing. She looked at Liam with a slightly panicked expression. 'Something's happening,' she told him.
'What do you mean?' Liam asked as he moved from the wall, back to Anna. 'How do you know?'
'I just know,' Anna said.
'Is it a feeling?' Liam asked again and Anna nodded, 'Sort of.'
'Maybe it's like Lydia, maybe someone is going to die.'
'No, It's not like that. It's hard to explain-' Anna began, but then she stopped. A feeling. That's it.
'What?' Liam asked.
'Every time, when something happened to one of you guys, I got this feeling.'
'Like something bad happened?'
'Yes. Like that night when Scott bit you. From the moment I left the hospital, I had a weird feeling in my stomach, just like now,' Anna explained. 'And when Garret stabbed you, I felt it too.'
'So, you can feel danger or something like that,' Liam said.
'Yeah, I think so,' she nodded.
'That's a step closer to figuring out what you are,' Liam smiled. 'But first, we need to get out of here.'
Liam took a deep breath and started climbing the walls again.
---
Scott slowly opened his eyes. It took him a few seconds to realize where he was, the animal clinic.
'Hey there,' Deaton appeared in his sight. 'I was actually hoping you'd be out for a few more minutes,' he told Scoot.
The boy didn't understand what he meant until he saw the bone knife coming out of his stomach. It must have come from the berserkers. Scott looked at the thing as he saw Argent appear in his eye corner
'Scott,' he said. Deaton must have called him. 'This is gonna hurt.'
Argent grabbed the knife and looked at Scott as if he was waiting for his permission. He nodded quickly and Argent pulled the knife out of his stomach. Scott groaned in pain, but luckily, Argent managed to get loose of the knife and helped him stand up.
'Are you okay?' he asked.
Scott groaned in response. Deaton held a bandage to the wound to stop the bleeding. Then, Scott remembered what happened in the first place, 'Is my dad and the sheriff-'
'They're at the hospital. They're both doing fine,' Deaton cut him off. 'Hold this,' he handed Scott the bandage.
'It was Kate,' he told them when the pain started to faint. 'It was her and the berserkers.'
'We know,' Argent said. 'But they move fast and they don't leave much in the way of tracks.'
'We have to find her,' Scott stated. 'She's got Violet. I think Violet knows where Anna and Liam are.'
It was quiet for a moment, then Deaton held up the knife, 'As much as this hurts, it can probably also help,' he said. 'Can you get a scent?'
Scott grabbed the thing and inhaled the scent. When he had locked it, he looked up at Argent and Deaton.
'I got it.'
'Let's go then,' Argent said and they left the animal clinic. Scott climbed into Argent's car and lead the way to Kate and her berserkers.
