Have you ever woken up DEAD? Well I did... when I was eight years old I woke up in my bed covered in blood. I found my mother, father, and baby sister all dead in their sleep. Soaked in blood. From then on I felt like death. Everyone around me dies...

STILES STRUGGLES TO KEEP DEREK ABOVE THE SURFACE OF THE WATER WHILE GLANCING ABOUT FOR THE CREATURE.
"Get me out of here before I drown."
Stiles scoffs, "You're worried about drowning? Did you notice the thing out there with multiple rows of razor-sharp teeth?"
With rising fury, Derek glares intensely at Stiles, "Did you notice I'm paralyzed from the neck down in eight feet of water?"
"Okay, okay, I don't see it."
Kicking out, Stiles draws Derek toward the pool's edge when Derek yells out a stop. Stiles splashes to a halt. Both of them spot the glowing eyes at the other side of the pool.
"What's it waiting for?"
But Derek doesn't respond, watching that perfectly still pair of eyes as if trying to find the answer in them.

Luna sighs sitting in her Aunt's car as she stares waiting by Stiles' jeep. She feels her welcoming sense of danger run up her spine as she sits in the warm space.
Looking in her hand at her phone, she asks, "You said he went inside the school?"
Lydia sighs on the other end of the cell phone, "Yep he told me he was coming back then he just left me there. So rude."
"I'm sure he just got caught up with something. I know he's super sorry."
"Yeah yeah..."
"Sorry I only saw you for a second today, but I saw you were wearing gloves. What happened?"
"I-"
"The truth Lyds."
"I broke a mirror... with my hands. I don't even remember doing it. I must be sleepwalking or something. My mom woke me up and I had blood all over my sheets."
Luna bites her lip trying to figure out what was going on with her best friend, "I'm sorry Lyds. We'll figure out what's happening."
"Just tell me I'm crazy and need help."
"You're not crazy. Believe me. Weird things happen in Beacon Hills but you're not crazy."
...
From the center of the pool, Stiles and Derek watch the creature approach the edge. But then, oddly, it retreats back.
"You see that? I don't think it can swim."
Derek meets Stiles's eyes. They turn back to the creature which hisses, slashing at the water. It darts forward only to back away a moment later.
Energy waning, a breathless Stiles adjusts his grip on Derek, "I don't know how much longer I can do this."
