Season 4, episode 2
••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Me, Stiles, Scott, Lydia and Deaton stand around young Derek who's on the metal table in the clinic, "Wow" Deaton says.

"Wow?" Stiles questions, "Wow as in, I've seen this before and I know exactly what to do, kind of wow? Cause that's the kind of wow we were hoping for."

"I think you might be overestimating my abilities" Deaton states.

"He's cold" Lydia tells us, "Really cold."

"Do you think this is permanent?" I ask.

"I'm not sure a medical diagnosis is even adequate" Deaton responds, "This is well beyond my experience."

"So what do we do with him?" Stiles questions.

"Until he wakes up. Probably not much" Deaton shrugs, "It might be best to leave him with me. He'll be safe here."

"You mean from Kate?" Stiles asks.

"If she's alive and she is what you say she is, she won't be able to walk past that gate" Deaton tells us.

I start to walk away from the group as I remember I still have to clean up my wound from earlier, I go out into the foyer and grab a cloth from a cupboard.

I walk back into the room as I wipe the dried up blood from around my gash and place a bandage over it.

"Why would she want do this to him?" Lydia questions.

"Knowing Kate, it's probably for a reason that won't be any good for anyone but her" Deaton answers.

"And bad for everyone else" I scoff.

"You guys should probably go home" Deaton advises, "He doesn't look to be in any danger. So maybe the rest of you should get some sleep? It is a school night. And you all need to start taking care of your own lives again."

"Someone should stay with you" Scott suggests.

"I'll stay" Lydia volunteers, "My grades are fine. Despite missing a few classes."

"I'm so not okay with this" stiles argues.

"Guys, go" Lydia demands.

I hug Lydia, "see you tomorrow" I start to walk out and notice no one's following me, "you guys coming?"

"No" stiles refuses.

"Text us if anything happens" Scott says.

"Nope, still not okay with it" stiles states, "Not going anywhere" Scott starts to drag him out behind me, "All right, just cause you're stronger."

I walk into the house with Scott quickly following behind me, "Riley I'm sorry. Look at me please. I'm so sorry for what I did. Please talk to me."

I ignore him and hurry up the stairs, "Scott?" I hear my dad say.

Scott stops and looks at our father, I turn the corner of the staircase and sit watching over the two from where they can't see me but I can see them. "Hey, Dad" Scott sighs, he then notices the tools he's holding, "What's with the tools?"

"I was just getting started on a list of repairs you guys need done" dad tells him, "What time is it?"

"It's Midnight" Scott answers.

"We were supposed to have dinner" dad reminds him, "We had a deal. When your mom has a night shift, us and your sister have dinner."

"Sorry, I totally forgot about it" Scott says, "When we got back from the camping trip, I had to go straight to the animal clinic to finish up work."
