( Scott's (2) keeps his veterinary knowledge very specific and not involving lamprey. And even though they dealt with this in high school, it has been over ten years since.
Stiles' (14) remembers at least the term.
"Like the fish?" Scott looks to Stiles. "What, it's jawless. And also a fish.")
Yeah. They're shifters and they can generate mouths like that on their hands. It's incredibly creepy. Peter used to tell us horror stories about them when we were getting on his nerves.
( Stiles gets a (12) to follow the trail in at least the right direction, while Scott doesn't do much better either (11), trying to focus more on the Lamprey's trail, then the blood. )
[Cora picks up the slack, following the scent like a bloodhound (16). The sooner they find this lamprey or lampreys, the sooner they can go back to a normal night.
[Cora hears Stiles go down, so she misses it too (9). Her eyes turn towards the sound, faltering because she cares, and Scott just barely manages to catch the flash of movement as a body comes flying out of the trees, tackling Cora to the ground (4 vs. 11).
( Who was ready to roll for initiative? Not I! Scott gets an (8) and Stiles gets a (20). Cora being tackled is a call to action, apparently. That's Stiles for you, one second, he's dropping, the next, he's here to play.
With a vampire quickness, he rushes over and tries to grapple whatever has tackled Cora for a (6). )
[Twin #1 just manages to shove Stiles off (6), but because he's distracted, Cora's able to swoop in and shove a kick to the gut to force him back further, away from her (19 vs. 11).
The Twin stumbles backwards, rolling towards the trees, before looking up, eyes glowing and hands gnashing. He turns and charges for Stiles, trying to get a grip on him himself (16).]
( Stiles doesn't react quickly enough (14), so whatever twin #1's intentions are when charging, he succeeds.
"Stiles!"
Scott locks eyes with twin #2, he spends his turn going full wolf and tries an alpha roar to shut. it. down. or, if anything, to scare the shit out of her (18).
And it's Stiles turn to try and sink his teeth into twin #1's neck (18) and if it succeeds, he'll start to drink to get the twin to LET GO )
[Yeah, that works. She stumbles backwards, eyes flashing in response to an actual, honest to God alpha attempting to subdue her (11). She glances back to her brother, before holding up her hands, teeth gnashing.
She watches as her brother manages to get the upper hand on Stiles (20) slipping out of the way and putting some distance between him and the vampire and the werewolf.
Buffered by the move, she turns back on Scott and tries to charge him (12), teeth going for his throat.]
( Scott gets a (9), crying out when her hand makes contact with Scott's neck.
Nails out, he tries striking her with his nails, sinking them into her arm. But, from the angle he's at and the pain he didn't anticipate, he drops one knee down. (3) )
[Cora glances between Scott and Stiles, unsure who to help, her alpha or her potential something. But despite Twin 1 dodging him, they seem to be on more even ground, so Cora chooses Scott. She swings towards Twin 2, claws out and ready to strike (16).
Twin 2 swipes around, dodging Cora's strike (20), before drawing more on Scott. She looks up at Cora, eyes glowing and grins. "You really want to do this? Because he may be able to heal, but eventually I'm going to outpace that."
Cora snarls, but it's not her turn anymore.
Twin 1, on the other hand, stays focused on Stiles. Now that he knows what he's dealing with, he reaches up, breaking a branch off one of the trees and flipping it around in his hand. "Eat shit, Fang Boy." And then he'll charge forward and attempt to stab him with his stick (16).]
( Stiles, distracted by Scott's plight and slighted by the sudden insult is stabbed (5) but, not in the heart because of that (16?). But, seeing as it is Stiles turn, he tries to play through the pain to break Twin 1's arm: (4) to grab on. But, for a new vampire, pain during combat is exponentially worse, coupling it with worry for his best friend.
Scott is not doing much better, trying to claw and swipe at Twin 2 across the torso (16).
Scott gets a (10) to do anything with a text message he can't answer and Stiles a (17) for a bonus phone-related action - but WHY - so, he most certainly notices the vibration of a text, but will not be doing anything about it. )
[Twin one just barely manages to dodge that grasp, annoyed that he missed the heart (6). He pulls back to try and charge in again (11), but as he does, Cora tips her head back and howls, and he falters at the sound.
Is it the most productive way to call for help? Maybe not. But Lydia will know what it means, and that's the best they can hope for. And after that, Cora's going to turn and dig in to the one attacking Stiles (15 vs. 6) and the Twin 1 cries out in pain.
Twin 2 also cries out as Scott's claws dig in, twisting away from the alpha's claws (4). She almost loses her grip, but attempts to swing back at him again (14).]
[Twin 1 loses his stake, but he recovers enough to backhand the vampire as a result (20). Cora comes at him again, but he's ready for her, shoving her backwards and sending her flying into a nearby tree (1).
Twin 2 stumbles backwards, dirt in her face and swings blindly (3), completely missing Scott.
And is wide open for a certain vampire to take a shot if he wants.]
( Stiles vamps over, trying to sweep twin 2's feet out from under her (12). He hasn't gone to the Mystic Falls vampire school of combat so he doesn't think about outright murdering her, twisting her neck or, anything like that.
Scott falls back, putting some distance between him and twin 2 as he focuses on healing. )
[She winces as she pushes up, but she's clearly still winded. Twin 1 goes down, but he reaches over to grab at Stiles' ankles, trying to yank him down (20).
Twin 2 starts to charge in, claws lashing out to try and keep Scott on the defensive (19).]
( Twin 1 succeeds (19), halting all of Stiles momentum as he hits the ground.
Twin 2 keeps Scott on the defensive as he brings his arms up (13). Blood sprays from the scratches.
Stiles forcefully tries to shake his leg free before trying to kick twin 1 in the head (10) and Scott attempts to parkour over twin 2 but, she's far too inside his personal space (2) and he takes her with him, the both of them falling forward (him)/backward (her). )
[Twin 1 takes the kick in the head and loses his grip on Stiles' ankle (2). He's dazed and tries to shake it off, before pushing himself up and charging towards both the vampire and the werewolf he seems to want to protect. He slashes down on Cora (18 vs. 6) and draws blood.
Cora comes up snarling and does her best to slash back (15 vs. 3). Blood sprays from his face and he stumbles back with a scream.
Twin 2 goes down, but she just barely manages to roll out from under him and stay clear (8). Then she tries to slash at Scott again (11), trying to stay on top of him and not give him room to breathe.]
Stiles runs, attempting to swipe the stake up in his hand (10), before rearing it back and trying to stab Twin 1 in the back (6).
Damon arrives, focusing on Twin 2 ontop of Scott, (11) to break her neck, and as Damon has in the past, he jumps right to murder. She goes limp ontop of Scott.
Bloody arm in front of him, Scott tries to pull himself out from under her. (17). )
[Twin 1 hears the snap of his sister's neck, and he turns to face Damon with an angry snarl. He starts to charge towards the vampire, but Stiles stab catches him in the ribs (5), and he cries out in pain instead, his attack diverted to the younger vampire as a result (4).
Cora again seizes an opportunity and slashes down into the lamprey's back (14 vs. 10). The second blow is too much and the creature drops to his knees, having taken too many shots in a quick succession.]

Is it - do they eat that way, or are they just killing? ( And one thing occurs to him. ) The lampreys could be anyone.
