Foresight

Chapter 55: 4-3

Before the next episode could begin, the screen fizzled and there was a flash of light as six people crashed into the room. They groaned in unison and slowly got up slowly looking around in confusion. "Scott?" one of them said with a bit of shock in his voice. Scott squinted at him for a moment before his eyes widened, "Theo!?"

The already present people helped the new comers out and filled them in oon where they were and what they here for. "So we are gonna see our future?" the only girl in the group asked. Lydia nodded, "yeah". The newcomers looked at each other before the room lit up again and Sky appeared, "Sorry I'm late. Those pesky Dragons kept breathing fire at me" he grumbled before smiling at them. "So your seniors already filled you in. Now introduce yourselves and get the show on the road" and with that he poofed again.

"Guess I'll go first. Theo Raeken" Theo introduced himself. "Mason Hewitt" the colored boy said. "Liam Dunbar" the boy scowling at the girl said. "Hayden Romero" the girl said glaring back. "Corey Bryant" the lean one said stealing glances at Mason who seemed more preoccupied with Liam and Hayden. "Jordan Parish" the oldest of the group said with a small smile. "Okay now that that's out of the way, let's start!" Stiles exclaimed and they took their seats.

A teen boy steps out of his house and calls for "Willow." There is no reply. He goes back inside and shouts to his mother that he can't find "her" (Willow). There is no reply inside the house.

"Feels so much like a horror movie" Mason mumbled. "You'll get used to it" Stiles waved him off.

He goes room to room downstairs. He turns out the lights in each before heading to the second floor and going to bed. As he is turning out his desk lamp he notices dirty paw prints on the carpet. He looks under the bed and sees his cat "Willow" peering back. He brings down the desk lamp to get a better look and sees the cat is covered in blood.

"Oh God" Hayden put a hand on her mouth.

Outside his bedroom door, he hears screams and shouts – walking out into the hall he sees a shadowy figure with a tomahawk, dripping with blood.

"I'm getting a 'Shinning" vibe of this" Jordan muttered. "Me too" Lydia mumbled.

He runs back inside and slams the door just as the tomahawk head slams through it. He dashes to the bathroom and rummages through drawers looking for a weapon. We hear the door from the hall to his bedroom give way and the vintage glass crystal doorknob turns.

"Oh God it is the Shinning" Stiles gasps. "Is he always like that?" Mason asked. "Unfortunately" Peter shrugged.

The shadowy assailant wears a small keyboard on his arm – he types on it and words issue from an unseen speaker. The computer voice addresses the boy as "Sean" and explains that his whole family is dead. He asks if Sean would like to die like them – begging for life – or to go out fighting. He then advises Sean to wrap his hand in a towel and break the mirror so that he can use one of the shards as a weapon.

"How nice of him?" Corey said with an unsure tone to his voice.

The attacker hears glass break within and kicks through the door – Sean has broken a window and can be seen running away from the house on the street below. The attacker steps into the light from outside and we can see he has no mouth, just smooth skin from his nose to his chin.

"What the fuck" Liam's jaws dropped. "Oh this isn't all there is" Scott chuckled.

It is now a week after Derek returned to Beacon Hills from Mexico. He and Peter are in the loft discussing hiring Braeden to track down Kate. They haggle over the price which Peter says is too high but Braeden points out that they are paying her to go against The Calaveras who have also paid her to find Kate. That level of danger, going against the hunters, comes at a much higher price. Derek stares at the reflection of his own eyes in a pair of sunglasses but speaks up to say they'll pay Braeden's ask to find Kate and the mercenary leaves.
