Lucas then waved his hand, making his wounds heal, and brought his clothes to the previous clean state.
He glanced at the ground one more time and disappeared from the cave.
When he appeared in front of the mansion, he saw the girls playing in the water.
Malia was the first to see him, then she immediately threw a splash of water towards his face.
"Splash!"
The water hit his face, and he raised an eyebrow at her. Allison and Lydia finally noticed him too, and laughed when they saw his wet face.
"Very well." Lucas smiled and waved his hand, then a wave of two meters appeared on the side.
"Gulp!" Malia swallowed the air and immediately started running through the water in the opposite direction.
The wave approached them closer and closer, and even Lydia and Allison weren’t spared.
"Let me tell you something!" Malia reached towards Lucas, but her body was then immediately submerged under water.

A few days passed, while Lucas was concentrating on the task of moving the sacred ground, Beacon Hills was nothing but peaceful.
"Did you reach him?" Scott asked as he walked around the room anxiously. Besides him, there was Stiles, who had the phone in hand, and Derek and Peter.
Stiles glanced at the phone in his hand and shook his head. "I’ve been trying for these past few days, but nothing."
Derek glanced at the anxious Scott, then turned toward Stiles. "We can’t just wait and do nothing. Kids are disappearing left and right, and when they reappear, they are homicidal killers."
"Well...we can just leave the town." Peter turned his head toward Derek and smiled.
"Shut up, Peter." X3 All three of them turned towards him and spoke at the same time.
Peter grumbled and turned his head away, not paying attention to them anymore.
"What about Deaton?" Derek gazed at Scott and asked.
"I’m here." Deaton’s voice was heard, and when they turned around, they saw him and his sister Marin behind him.
"Do you know something?" Stiles glanced at the two of them and asked curiously.
Deaton took a step back, giving Marin the stage. She glanced at each of them, then spoke, "They’re called the Dread Doctors, and now they are making chimeras in the hope of finding the perfect vessel."
"Vessel? For what? And how do you know this?" Stiles fired up one question after the other.
Marin raised an eyebrow at his questions. "Lucas told me before leaving, and the vessel is for the resurrection of the perfect killer, the Beast of Gévaudan."
All of them looked at each other in shock, then Derek caught something she said. "How did Lucas know they would come?"
"He caught their trail some time ago, and he knew they would make their move once he was out of town," Marin responded briefly.
"Wait, are you saying that they are afraid of him?" Stiles put his hand in front and glanced at her, waiting for an answer.
"I don’t know." Marin shook her head as she genuinely didn’t know. Lucas basically treated her like a horse, making her go from one place to another, searching for shapeshifters.
Now she got back in town to search for the nodes of energy that were distributed throughout Beacon Hills.
"You don’t know, or won’t you tell?" Peter stood back to back with the wall and grinned at her.
Marin smiled and didn’t pay much attention to him.
Seeing this, Peter frowned, and a fierce glint flashed in his eyes before disappearing, and looking innocent.
Scott ignored what Peter said and gave Marin a hopeful look. "Did he say when he’s coming back?"
He liked the peace he had this past few months, but now it was broken by a bunch of crazy scientists, and this made his mood even more anxious.
Marin shook her head, and the expressions of Stiles and Scott crumbled.
"But he did leave you a clue on how you can find the doctors." Marin’s next words brought the attention back to her.
She didn’t keep them waiting for the answer and told them, "He said you can guard the doctors’ next target, Hayden Romero."
"Romero?" Stiles frowned, and just as he was about to ask more, Marin walked away.
Scott glanced at him, then asked curiously, "Do you know the girl?"
Stiles shook his head, then nodded. "No, but there’s a deputy by that name in my father’s department, and I think she has a younger sister."
"Can you find more about her?" Scott asked.
"Yes." Stiles nodded thoughtfully as he tried to put together the pieces as to why she would be a target.
Hearing this, Scott nodded, then some hesitation appeared on his face. "Do you think we should ask him about the Dread Doctors?"
