SCOTT AND HAZEL MADE THEIR WAY IN HIS ROOM SPOTTING STILES ON THE BED WITH THEIR MOTHER SITTING RIGHT NEXT TO HIM.
Stiles sat up when the two barged in. "Is she here?"
The last thing they had done was inform Kira's mother to help Stiles become himself convinced again.
"Yeah." Scott answered.
"Okay, let's do this." Stiles said when the other three shared a silent and unsure look which Stiles noticed. "Guys, we have to do this."
They agreed and picked up Stiles to keep him steady from walking when they stepped out of the room and made their way downstairs.
When they arrived to the living room, Kira's mother stood there as she stared at Stiles. "Do you recognize me?"
But then, a door slammed as Kira rushed next to her mother. "Stop!"
But Stiles stepped forward to them. "It's okay. I'm the one who asked her to come."
"You're the one who's going to get stabbed with swords." Kira turned to her mother. "Mom, don't do this."
"It's already done." Her mother stated Not looking away from Stiles until a black shadow and figure appeared from behind.
The Oni.
Another appeared as Hazel took a step forward but Scott stopped her from going any further. That's when it gripped Stiles' head with the other behind him too.
A green light appeared as Stiles choked and fell down the ground. While the two Oni's disappeared, Yukimura turned to her daughter. "Look behind his ear."
Kira and the other three went down to Stiles and checked over him. Scott checked behind his ear to see nothing but a scar.
"It worked." Scott said.
"So, I'm actually me?" Stiles asked as he knelt up.
"More you than the Nogitsune." Yukimura said.
"Can the Oni find him?" Stiles asked her as hey all looked up to the elderly.
"Tomorrow night, it's too close to dawn now." She responded.
Stiles angered closed his eyes as he tried not to swore. "Can they kill him?"
"It depends on how strong he is." Hazel guessed that. No wonder.
"What about Lydia? Why would he take her?" Hazel asked her.
"He would only take her for an advantage." Yukimura answered.
"You mean her power?" Scott asked.
"The power of a Banshee." She stated.
âââââââ༺༻âââââââ
Scott, Hazel and Stiles arrived by Sheriff Stilinski's office. He needed to know that Stiles was back to himself.
He was completely stressed out and overwhelmed. "Ah, if I could just find my keys."
"In your coffee cup." Stiles answered for him as his father looked up to his son. "You always drop them in your empty cup."
Sheriff was unsure as he furrowed his brows but the siblings nodded as a sign of showing that it was a hundred percent sure.
His father ran up to him as they both were pulled in a tight hug. "Oh." Stiles chuckled at his father's tight embrace. "Hey dad." He whispered and chuckled again.
The other two walked in and past them as Hazel crossed her arms while turning to the other two.
"Is it over?" Sheriff Stilinski asked the two as Hazel slightly lifted the corner of her mouth up and looked over to Scott that was looking down at the coffee cup and pulled out the keys Stilinski was searching for.
"Not yet."
They shared a look and Scott turned to look at them all. They all needed to discuss it. That's all.
"Look, if we can figure out the why, then we'll figure out the where." Stiles said.
"Okay. What would a Nogitsune need with a Banshee?" Sheriff Stilinski questioned.
"I don't know. Lydia's pretty good at finding dead bodies." Stiles said. "Maybe he needs to find out a body?"
"Scott, you know more about this then all of us." Sheriff Stilinski turned to Scott.
"Me?"
"You said you got the whole story from Noshiko?" He confused said.
"Yeah, but that happened during World War II." Scott explained. "Like seventy years ago."
Stiles went in his thoughts after Scott said that. "Wait. What did you say?"
"Noshiko told me about the internment campâ"
"You said, 'The whole story'." Stiles told Scott.
"Yeah." Scott looked over to Stiles. "What is it?"
It was quiet when Stiles seemed in his thoughts before he began. "There's a girl at Echen House. Her name's Meredith." He looked up to them. "I think she might be able to help."
They called Parrish to inform about Meredith Walker in order to get her there. Hazel sighed and leaned against the desk as they all waited.
"Sheriff. Meredith Walker." Parrish stepped in.
"She's still alive?" The Sheriff asked.
"Yeah, but they moved her to the Closed Unit." Parrish answered.
"Why?" Stiles asked him.
"They said behavior issues."
"What issues?" Hazel, without hesitation, decided to ask.
It took Parrish a few seconds to respond. "She wouldn't stop screaming."
Slowly, Scott and Hazel turned their heads to Stiles that had the exact look on them. A knowing look.
âââââââ༺༻âââââââ
Hazel sighed in exhaustion as she sat down the dinning table right next to Scott that looked up at her.
"Did you get any sleep?" Scott asked her.
Hazel scoffed as she shook her head. "Just in the need of drinking something."
"Well, uh, water is right there." He pointed to the countertop making Hazel slowly grin at that.
"Believe me Scott, it's something other than water or any different drinks." Her brother seemed confused at first before his mouth went gaped along with his eyes widened.
"You want blood!?" He shout-whispered.
But she only shrugged in response until a gasp was heard as the two looked at each other and quickly stood up, rushing to the living room to see Stiles dizzy on his feet.
They went over and gripped onto him. "Hey! You okay?"
"What happened? How long was i out?" Stiles breathed.
"Just a couple of hours. You should sit down." Hazel reassured him.
"Where's my dad?"
"He's at Echen House, questioning everyone. Looking for Metedith. I promised him I wouldn't let you out of my spot." Scott explained.
"Okay, what about the others?" He nervously kept asking to which Hazel answered.
"Allison, Isaac, the Twins, they're all looking for Lydia." She said when Stikes heavily breathed.
"It's starting to feel like we're waiting for a ransom call." Stiles annoyed said.
"We'll find her." Scott reassured. Stiles turned and picked up his jacket, putting it on. "You alright?"
"Yeah. I don't know why. I just can't seem to get warm." Stiles heavily breathed, looking like he was getting a panic attack.
"Maybe you should sit down. Take it easy." Scott reached up to his hand as black veins appeared as he flinched his hand back. "You're in pain."
"It's not that bad." Stiles said. "Just more like a dull ache."
"Where?" Hazel asked.
"Sort of everywhere." He said.
Scott reached up to touch his hand again but Stiles pushed it away. "Dude, you're freezing." Stiles sat down as he seemed stressed out at that.
Scott noticed it and knelt down to him. "Tell me the truth." Stiles hesitated. "How much does it really hurt?"
Stiles stood quiet as he looked up to Scott, sounding like he was freezing until Scott's phone vibrated.
He pulled out his phone as he stared at it. "It's Kira." He answered right away. "Hey, what's up?"
What was it now?
Kira, what do we have going on now? Who's ready for the next part?
