Secrets

I'm with Isaac, Scott, Liam, mason and Theo in the animal clinic. "Hey, it's me again. I, uh, don't know why you can't seem to call me back. Maybe it's because you think you're punishing me. But this is too long. It's too much. And it's not about us. Somethings happening in beacon hills, to the people here. I just...I just, I need to know everyone there with you is okay, so can you just, please, call me, please? One call, that's all I'm asking for, and if you can't call me back, then...I'm going to get my answer, anyway. That means I'm coming up there myself. If I don't get a call from you, I'm coming up there. So just try, try to remember, it's my pack, too." A woman's voice says over a voicemail.

"You pulled this off one of the bodies in the woods?" Theo asks by the door.

"Malia did." Liam says looking at him.

As far as I know, Liam likes Theo but he refuses to act on it still holding a grudge for the way Theo made him almost kill Scott.

"Yeah, there were six dead bodies, and one of them had no face." Scott says.

"Okay, so the one with no face, you think that's the woman on the phone?" Isaac asks.

"Maybe." Scott says.

"It's the same thing that happened to Aaron. It took over his body, basically stole his face and his DNA." Mason says getting up and walking up next to Theo.

"So that means whoever this woman is, she could be the other half of the Anuk-Ite." I say making everybody look at me and nod.

"Which means she's just half of the problem. The other half we already know about, Aaron." Theo says.

"We don't know where he is, though." Liam argues.

"Okay, hold on. Aren't we supposed to keep both halves apart?" Theo says.

"Well, we know about one half." I frown looking at him.

"Let's just go for that one, that's Aaron." Theo says.

"I'm not agreeing with Theo, but I do think it'd be easier to track down Aaron over a voice on a phone." Mason says.

Liam looks at mason. "That's agreeing with Theo." He says clearly not okay with it.

"Yeah. But I thought I'd try to soften the blow a bit." Mason says.

Theo looks at him with a confused frown. "Is everyone completely shocked that I might be right?" Theo asks.

"No, we just don't like it." Liam says with his jaws clenched.

"Maybe we're all right, maybe we should be looking for both, Aaron and the woman on the phone." Scott says.

"I'll help look for Aaron." I say.

"Great, you can go with Theo and mason. Since they agree." Scott says.

"Me..." mason asks.

"And him?" Theo asks.

"Yeah. Me, Liam and Isaac will try to find the woman on the phone." Scott says.

"If we find the other half..." Liam says.

"Maybe we don't have to fight at all." Isaac says.

"Stop the anuk-ite..." Liam says.

"...we stop the war." Scott says.

I look at everybody and nod. "Well, standing around isn't gonna get us anywhere." I smile.

I go to the tunnels with mason and Theo. I go down first and Theo follows with mason following after him.

"That's a pretty egotistical thing to say, don't you think?" Mason asks Theo. "'You'd never be able to find Aaron on your own, you're not smart enough.'"
