^^Above^^

    About 5 minutes after Mason left the animal clinic the pack members started showing up one by one. Starting with Liam.

He greets Deaton and sits down in the waiting room.

"Hi Liam." Says the vet with confusion.

"Hey." Liam replies, not even looking up from his phone.

Then Scott walks in, setting his dirt bike helmet on the counter and sitting next to his beta.

"Hi Doc." Says Scott.

"What are you guys doing here? Did something happen?" Asks Deaton, folding his arms.

"Yeah, Stiles is missing." Explains Liam.

Scott nods, "He never came home from school. His dad is getting really worried." He adds.

"I see." Says Deaton, understanding that Stiles might not tell the pack about his new found abilities.

Just then Malia and Lydia come through the doors.

"Hi Deaton." Greets Lydia as she stands next to the chairs that the boys were in.

Deaton nods a greeting back to the two ladies and sits on the counter, fiddling with his fingers.

Scott looks around the room. "Does anyone know where Derek is?"

---

Once Derek and Stiles had figured out that they could hide the fox tail by simply putting it down one of Stiles' pant legs he drove him back to his house. Well, close to his house.

Once Derek's Camaro reached the street before Stiles' house Stiles put a hand on the steering wheel right next to Derek's.

Derek's spine tingled with pleasure and he tried to shake it off but it remained as a static in the back of his brain.

"I'm just going to walk from here." States Stiles, his voice low.

Derek slowly nods and puts the car in park as Stiles' hand is retracted back to his lap.

"Cause, you know my dad," the werefox chuckles slightly before continuing, "he would probably put a bullet through anyone he thought did something to me."

Derek chuckles, "Yeah."

The two sit in silence for a few moments longer before Stiles reaches for the car door and slowly gets out.

"Thanks again."

"Anytime." Says Derek, "Just next time don't make me spend 15 minutes trying to find you at night in the woods."

Stiles smirks, "I can't promise anything." And with that he shuts the door and takes off jogging in the general direction of his house.

Derek sighs and turns the car around, and heads to Deatons so that they could 'find Stiles'.

---

Scott is the first one to hear the Camaro's engine pull into the parking lot.

The werewolf walks into the clinic calmly and nods a greeting to Deaton, who returns it.

"Ok, where do we start?" Derek asks.

Lydia speaks up, "Guys, I just got a text."

Scott tilts his head, "Is it from-"

Derek cuts him off, "Stiles."

Lydia nods, "He says to meet him at his house in 10 minutes."

With that Scott's phone is illuminated with a text from Stiles, saying the same thing. "He sent one to me too."

Liam nods and shows his phone screen, "Me too."

Within 20 seconds each individual at the clinic had received a message from Stiles asking them to meet him at his house in 10 minutes.

"Let's go." Says Liam, standing up and heading towards the door.

The pack nods and they all follow the young beta out the door. That is, except Derek and Deaton.

"He better know what he's doing." Says Derek with a sigh.

"I wouldn't underestimate the young fox's mind." Deaton states, unfolding his arms and putting his weight on the counter behind him.

Derek nods and Deaton shoos him out the door.

Scott had the pack in a tight circle by his dirt bike as he addressed them all.

"When we get there we will ask him what's up." States Scott.

Lydia hums in agreement, "We won't kick him out. Agreed?"

The pack slowly nods.

"Ok let's go." Says Liam, standing on the balls of his feet, ready to run to the destination.

Derek rolls his eyes at the young wolf and heads to his Camaro.

"See you there." And with that they all took of To Stiles' house.

~About 30 minutes before at the Stilinski household

Stiles lightly jogs to the front of his house to see the parking space completely empty, aside from Roscoe.

Stiles concludes that his dad was at the Sheriffs Station worrying about him.

Stiles sighs and rubs his hands through his buzzed hair, pulling his phone out of his pocket and texting Lydia first. Telling her to meet him at his house in ten minutes.

He eventually texted everyone that was at the loft earlier that day.

Stiles sets his phone down on the counter and turns on the lights as he watches the sun slowly set.

By the time it is pitch black and the only light outside is the street lamps and moon, the pack shows up.

Stiles taps his fingers on the table and shoves his phone in his pocket.

There is a loud 'ding' that erupts through Stiles' brain as someone rings the doorbell.

He opens the door, double checking that his tail was still in his pant leg.

Lydia gives Stiles a small smile as she walks in.

"Hi Lydia." Says Stiles in a small voice.

Lydia sits on the small couch in the living room and says a quick "Hello." back.

Next thing you know the whole pack is sitting in Stiles' living room and he is starting to panic.

Scott speaks up, "Stiles, what's up man?"

Stiles takes a breath and looks at everyone. Well, mainly Derek.

"I don't know." He almost whispers, "I don't know what I did. I feel like you guys think I betrayed you." Which was true. He knew that they thought that.

"Well did you?" Asks Liam harshly.

Stiles let's the emotions get the best of him and the brims of his eyes start to swell up with tears.

"No, that's why I'm confused. Why do you guys hate me?" Asks the fox.

"Because you let it get to you." Spits out Malia.

"It?" Repeats Stiles in a confused tone.

"Void." Says Liam, more specifically. "I can practically smell it."

Stiles trembles.

Scott tilts his head as he takes in Stiles scent. It didn't smell like it usually did. It smelled like fear, panic, leaves. Mint? Scott's eyes widen.

"You were at Derek's loft." He says in realization, noticing that this was the scent that came off of the last unknown figure at the loft before the pack meeting.

Stiles' heart rate increases dramatically and he can feel his tail straighten. He has to clench his fists to keep his claws hidden.

Derek notices this and tries to calm the rage of the pack.

"Stop!" He shouts, standing up next to Stiles.

Stiles looks gratefully at the werewolf.

"He was at the loft. Before you guys got there." Derek points out.

"No, he was there the whole time." States Scott.

"Why were you there? What are you hiding?" Scott practically shouts

Stiles looks down, holding back a whimper. He unclenches his hands, which are bloody from where his claws cut into them.

Lydia looks at Stiles hands and gasps, "Stiles what happened to your hands?"

Both Stiles and Derek look at the boy's hands to see the fresh coat of blood lining his palms.

"I-I." Stiles gasps and basically falls onto Derek.

"Stiles what's wrong? What's happening?" Derek asks, fear shining in his evergreen eyes.

"I ca-can't b-breath." Stiles gasps again.

"He's having a panic attack." Says Lydia.

Scott scoffs, along with Liam and Malia.

"Probably just the Nogitsune trying to get to you." States Liam.

Stiles looks at Scott, his best friend, as he nods in agreement.

"I'm going to get Deaton, so he can help, again." Says Scott referring to the apparent 'Void'.

The True Alpha then walks out the door with Malia and Liam following close behind.

Derek then turns his attention to the boy struggling to breath on his lap.

"Stiles calm down, focus on something." Says Lydia, slightly panicking herself. "Focus on family, friends. Aghhh. Not friends I'm sorry."

Lydia looks at Derek, "Derek help!"

Derek takes in a breath of air, "um, ok. Stiles, you have to look at me."

Stiles looks Derek in the eye as he struggles to breath more and more.

"Stiles listen to my heart beat." He waits for Stiles to give him a signal that he has found it.

"How can he find your heartbeat if he can't hear like a werewolf?" Asks Lydia, regretting her choice to let Derek have a go at calming and possibly saving Stiles.

Suddenly Stiles eyes start to clear of the panic.

"Good, now try to match your heartbeat to mine." Says Derek, looking into Stiles' whiskey brown eyes.

Stiles nods and closes his eyes trying to match his quick heartbeat, to Derek's slow, and calm one.

Stiles takes a slow breath, "I got it." He says, his voice shaking slightly.

Lydia looks at Derek in surprise, "How did you calm him down like that?"

"When I was younger I got panic attacks before full moons." Derek breaths out.

Lydia nods and Stiles hugs Derek, not giving it much thought.

Derek is taken by surprise and his own heart jumps for a moment and the warm electric charge comes back to him.

A few seconds later Stiles pulls away, "Thanks." He pauses, "Both of you."

Lydia and Derek nod.

Stiles stands up and looks at Derek. "What are we going to do? They think I'm possessed."

Derek looks at Lydia, "Can you convince them he's not?"

"Why can't you?" Asks Lydia.

"Because they trust you more than they trust me." Derek explains.

"Please." Says Stiles.

Lydia looks at Stiles and she nods in agreement, "Fine. What do you want me to tell them?"

"To meet me here. After school tomorrow. Tonight I have to comfort my dad when he gets home." Says Stiles.

"And what are you going to tell them?" Asks Derek.

"Everything if I have to." States Stiles, causing him to get a confused look from Lydia.

"Look." Says Stiles as he casually pulls his tail out of his pant leg.

Lydia's eyes widen in both curiosity and worry, "What are you?"

"A werefox." Stiles says with a flash of his orange eyes.
