Scott came into the bathroom to see that Beatrice, she was repeatedly now slamming Violet's head into the wall.

"BEATRICE!" Scott roared and Beatrice looked over at him, dropping Violet and the girl was knocked out at best and then bloodied, nearly dead at the worst.

Beatrice went back to crouching down next to Brett, who was barely awake and he looked dazed. "Come on, Talbot, let's just get you out of here right now, just so that we can help get the wolfsbane and the poison out of you." Beatrice said softly and he nodded and Beatrice was helping him back up onto his feet again.

Casey raced into the locker room as she saw the state of things. Casey took Brett's other arm across her shoulders and the two of them half-carried and they swiftly half-dragged him just out of the boys' locker room, right before Rafael McCall right along with the rest of the Sheriff's department.

"Hold him!" Doctor Deaton said as Beatrice ran back into the room and her eyes glowed golden yellow, as she ran over to where Brett was now insistently struggling against both Derek and Stiles, who were trying to hold him down.

"What the hell is happening to this kid?" Stiles asked as Beatrice was now adding her werewolf strength to their combined strength, as she focused on holding Brett, who snarled loudly and she sighed.

"Come on, Brett, just work with me here." She pleaded as she was staring at him and Brett roared. Beatrice let out a roar of her own and for a brief moment, he stopped fighting them.

"He's been poisoned by a rare wolfsbane. I need to make a precise incision and you three need to hold him down, as still as possible." The doctor said and Beatrice was pushing Brett back down onto the table and he was roaring, spitting up yellow foam from the wolfsbane as Beatrice's eyes flashed.

"Hey, Derek, how about a little werewolf strength?" Stiles asked and Casey glared at him, and she walked swiftly into the room.

"Yeah, well, I am not the only one here with werewolf strength." Derek shot back and Casey walked forward to help restrain the frantic Beta, who didn't understand, that he was being helped.

"If you cannot hold him still, then this incision might kill him." Deaton spoke up.

"Derek, he's slipping. I don't really think that I can hold him." As soon as Stiles spoke up about it, Brett roared and he pushed hard.

Beatrice hit the wall and Stiles went into the counter, while Derek and the ever-quiet Casey had both stumbled and Beatrice's eyes glowed.

"Brett, it's me. We are all, each of us only just trying to help you!" She said urgently, but he was riled up by the wolfsbane and he lunged for the door only for someone's fist, to knock him out with a hard cross to the jaw.

Beatrice dropped down next to Brett and she looked up quickly in a state of real panic. "Doctor Deaton, he isn't breathing." She said and Deaton came running over, crouching down and he made the incision, as Brett coughed as he took a sharp inhale. "Oh thank god." She whispered and Deaton was smiling a little bit.

"He's saying something. Beatrice, do you know what he's saying?" Beatrice looked at Stiles and she nodded a little bit.

"Three things that cannot long be hidden." Beatrice murmured softly and she silently took Brett's hand and she focused, as she took his pain away from him.

"The sun... The moon... The truth..."

"It's Buddhist." Deaton realized and Beatrice sighed, as she nodded and she looked up at her father, Peter and her cousin, Derek who both realized in unison, who her Alpha was.

"Satomi. Satomi, she is your Alpha?" Peter asked and Beatrice nodded, as she looked back down at Brett, whose eyes opened a little and they closed again.

"Mine, Brett's, his sister's. Satomi has built a pack of Buddhists. I would say that about 85 percent of the deadpool... are members of her pack along with Brett and I." Beatrice said and Casey knocked on the wall as she looked at Beatrice.

"How much are you worth?" Casey asked and Beatrice smiled a little bit at the words.

"2 million." Beatrice admitted and Derek's eyes shot wider. "I don't know why I'm worth so much I mean, hell, I don't even fight." She said and Deaton scoffed.

"Your family name, it already automatically makes you a big target. Even if you don't choose to fight, you are still a fighter. I know that you can fight, I know that you refused to accept the Buddhist way until Satomi taught you to fight. If she hadn't, then you would've gone to Casey to teach you." Deaton said and Beatrice nodded.

"I am staying here." Beatrice's tone left no room for argument and Derek raised his eyebrows. "He is a member of my pack, Derek, I am not leaving."

"Where could they be?" Derek muttered and Casey tossed a small rock at him and he looked quickly over at her. "You got something?"

"I'm a hunter. They are hiding somewhere, they are clearly hiding in the East. Do you know where else, we could look?" Casey asked.

"The Look-out Point." Derek realized and Casey, she swiftly nodded. Casey stood up and they drove out toward the Look-out point.

Casey ran after Derek to get to Braeden, whose hand was bloody as Casey looked her over for any visible wounds and when she noticed the biggest one, she put her weapons away and she put pressure on the nearest one. "Just hang on." Derek said as they picked her up and they were driving to get her to the hospital.

"I was wondering when you were gonna wake up." Beatrice was slowly blinking, waking herself up at Doctor Deaton's voice.

"Whe-Where's Brett?" Beatrice asked at once as soon as she was awake and Deaton smiled at her. "Tell me he's okay." She said and he looked over her shoulder.

"You didn't seriously stay up all night again, just trying to protect me, did you?" Beatrice turned around and she was staring up at Brett, who was up and walking around again.

"Maybe." Beatrice muttered very quietly to him and Brett nodded at the words. "Thank you, Dr. Deaton." She said and Deaton smiled.

"Get out of here, you two. You should probably just get home and get some rest." Deaton reminded the duo and Beatrice nodded.

"Brett, you're driving." Beatrice muttered and Brett took the car keys from her, and, she walked out of the Animal Clinic.
