Maylee was number one to arrive at the morgue, she sat down facing the doors just in time for them to open and let Lydia in. The others didn't keep the banshees waiting, since the rest of the pack showed up very shortly after.
"So, who's gonna go first?" Liam volunteered to be the conversation starter once everyone settled.
"Well, maybe we should go one by one, telling what happened to us tonight," Mason suggested.
"First things first, I'd like to get to the heart of this, and I think this banshee has the full story," Derek interjected, pointing at Maylee as he spoke.
"No, it's best if I go last," she said.
"Is there a reason for that?" Jackson, who'd been standing at one of the corners, decided to comment.
"If I may, I believe that she and Mason are right on this, it would be better for all of us to cite what we know for sure before proceeding to the origins," said Deaton.
"And besides, we're not complete yet, I am waiting for more people to arrive," said Maylee.
"There are more of you?" Liam spoke again.
Everyone seemed to think that the morgue was crowded enough as it was, Scott couldn't tell if they were impatient to hear more of the story or to just get it over with and finally leave that place. Although, if he could have been completely honest with himself, he wasn't delighted to be in that room either. That was why he opted to go first, "Okey, right around sundown yesterday, we were out of town, on a mission to rescue a group of supernaturals, and we decided to head back towards Beacon Hills when we found out that Monroe was on her way here,"
"As we were driving, I had a vision, during which I saw Maylee, and she informed me that we needed to go to the dread doctors' basement. In that vision she appeared to be injured and she asked me to let Parrish know about her in case he wasn't yet aware," Lydia's voice came after Scott's.
"I think that was around the time we were patrolling the preserve, Mason, Corey, Nolan and me. We heard a loud scream, and we ran towards it, but we were too late and all we found were a bunch of mutilated bodies and... Her," Chris pointed towards Rosalie as he finished his sentence.
She didn't wait for anyone to ask questions, she immediately began to tell her side, "We'd arrived in town only a few hours prior, me, Maylee, my son Hilldon and Isaac,"
"Isaac? Isaac Lahey?" Scott asked.
"Yes, him, but we were cornered by the hunters before the longtails showed up. I believe they were after Maylee, but the rest of us got in the way. We all split up, and I screamed only because she told me to. At the time I didn't understand why, but now I guess it was because she knew we weren't alone in the forest," Rosalie added.
"I heard that scream too, I was with Theo on the other side of the preserve. We were attacked by some creature I couldn't really catch sight of. Theo got hurt pretty badly and the animal clinic was the closest to us, so I took him there," Peter gave his piece of the puzzle.
"Speaking of Hilldon and Isaac, we met them earlier last night, but the story doesn't start there. A few days ago, Jackson received a weird text from a sender called the guardian angel, they gave us coordonates and a specific time for a meeting. Only when we showed up there, we were attacked by berserkers, and Hayden saved us because she has the ability to control them," said Ethan as he stood near Jackson.
"You can do that?" Liam was surprised by what he'd heard about Hayden.
"She can do more than that, but we'll get to that part later," Malia interfered to set the discussion back on track.
"I also received a message from the guardian angel, with coordinates and time for a meeting, but I got more than that, I was told who I was supposed to meet and what I was supposed to do. That was how I found out about my ability with the berserkers. And I was also told that once done, me, Jackson and Ethan were supposed to go to La Iglesia in Mexico,"said Hayden.
"I suppose you were sent an additional message, telling you to make a stop at Beacon Hills first?" Noshiko finally spoke.
"Yeah, I was supposed to go to the cemetery with Ethan, in order to... Dig a grave," Jackson paused for a moment, hesitant, ashamed perhaps. Although, his eyes betrayed him as they darted towards Allison when he spoke about the grave, but then he continued, "But Hayden was told to stop by a specific house,"
"That was my house, I also received a message from this guardian angel, I was to prepare Kira's sword for Hayden and then head to this hospital,"
"These longtails, the creatures that attacked Maylee and Theo, they came after us right as we entered the town. They're man-made creatures, with an extremely powerful scorpion venom, not to count their physical power and supernatural speed," said Alec.
"Yes, and from what I saw, they really wanted to get rid of Lydia. They almost got what they wanted, if it weren't for Braden," Scott finished that part.
"I got there in time thanks to a message from the guardian angel, I was supposed to be back up for Parrish but for some reason he wasn't there," said Braden.
"Fast forward until sometime later, I got a different vision about the dread doctors' basement, I think I saw Monroe's death, and upon waking up I joined Maylee in her room, by then Parrish had already found her like she asked," Lydia spoke again.
"That was when Braden received another message, telling her to go to that same basement with me," Scott added.
"And I overheard your conversation, that was how I found out that Jennifer Blake had something to do with Monroe's death, and I decided to go to the distillery. I knew she'd show up there if I did, and I thought I could take her down by myself but... She wasn't alone, she brought Anas and Kali with her," Derek shared his side.
"The first thing I did after waking up was go after Scott, and Peter came with me, but we were ambushed on the way... We were stuck in some sort of parallel world, an illusion, and Kate Argent was in control of it... I think," said Malia.
"I remained unconscious throughout all of this because I was being held back by the nogitsuné, I don't think I need to paint a picture for you to understand it wasn't a pleasant experience," Stiles chimed in.
"The nogitsuné brought the Oni with him, and we had to fight them off here in the real world as you were stuck with their leader, "Corey had finally decided to say something.
"I think we were all about to die... I saw everyone's death a few minutes before..." Lydia trailed off, scared by the thought of it alone.
"Before we showed up to save your asses," Erica seemed happy to be able to speak her mind at last.
"Right, you told us you'd explain it all once gathered with the rest. So, how are you back and... Alive? And who exactly is this guardian angel?" asked Liam, impatient to get the answers he truly wanted.
"That part is gonna have to wait," Maylee spoke up.
"Seriously?" everyone was irritated by Maylee's words, but Nolan was the one to voice their displeasure.
"Another story needs to be told before that one," she said.
"Which one?" Scott asked.
"His story," she said drawing attention towards the morgue doors that opened again, for Isaac and Hilldon to enter.
