chapter 23 - Insatiable
Outfits in the external link
From 3.23 "Insatiable", in the boys' locker room, Allison was holding Kira's sword, swinging it back and forth between the lockers to keep the twins back.
Allison: (voice over) "Previously on Worlds Colliding (Teen Wolf)"
From 3.20 "Echo House", outside in the courtyard, Stiles, Stacie and Oliver were listening to Meredith on the phone when it was dead.
Meredith spoke into the dead line. "They're standing right behind me."
Stiles and Stacie looked at her in confusion, somehow knowing that she was talking about them.
Oliver: (voice over from 3.20 Eichen House) "That's Meredith. She's a little weird."
From 3.21 "Foxes and Wolves", in flashback in the field, Rinko!Nogitsune caught Hayes' hands, turning the gun back around on him to make him shoot himself in the chest and stomach repeatedly, killing him, letting him fall.
Angel: (voice over from 3.21 Foxes and Wolves) "So, where did the Nogitsunes come from?"
Rhys!Nogitsune ripped Merrick's head, letting both fall.
Noshiko: (voice over from 3.21 Foxes and Wolves) "They came from me."
From 3.21 "Foxes and Wolves", outside Oak Creek, the riot raged on.
Noshiko: (voice over from 3.21 Foxes and Wolves) "It was an internment camp in World War II."
From 3.21 "Foxes and Wolves", in the tunnels of Oak Creek, Young Noshiko wielded the katana against the Nogitsunes.
Noshiko: (voice over from 3.21 Foxes and Wolves) "In Oak Creek not too far from here."
From 3.22 "De-Void", in the basement of Eichen House, Void!Stiles walked toward Noshiko. "What happened to the woman who called out for chaos, strife and pain?"
"I don't want that anymore," Noshiko told him.
"We do," Void!Stiles told her.
From 3.22 "De-Void", in the boys' locker room, Ari, Adriana, Angel and Kira backed away from Natalie, Isaac, Ethan and Aiden and toward Allison.
Kira held Allison's bow and arrow, aiming at Ethan.
Allison was holding Kira's sword, aiming at Aiden.
Angel was holding her skateboard.
From 3.22 "De-Void", in the study of the Argent Apartment, Chris aimed his gun at Derek's head.
From 3.22 "De-Void", in the loft, A hand slowly reached above the cloth, wrapped in it. What looked like Rhys!Nogitsune pulled himself out of the cloth onto the floor, to his feet. He started to pull the cloth away from his face.
"The same thing happened to Stacie," Tara told them. "That's Stiles."
Scott, Stacie and Tara walked toward Stiles, taking the cloth off of his face.
"Stace?" Stiles asked.
Tara looked around. "Scott."
They saw that Void!Stacie, Void!Stiles and Lydia were gone.
"Where are they?" Stacie asked. No one answered. Stacie raised her voice. "Where are they?" Still no one answered. Stacie looked to the door. "Lydia!"
Stiles looked shocked and disconcerted, horrified.

Same Day - Day One
Night - Beacon Hills High School - Boys' Locker Room
Natalie was leaning against the wall. She had black blood covering her mouth and chin. She was already taken care of and cured, a little wet from a shower.
Kira, Angel, Allison, Adriana and Ari stood nearby.
Deaton was taking care of and curing Isaac, Ethan and Aiden.
Deaton looked at Ethan. "Hold still. Don't fight it. Hold still." The shower was running, Ethan's eyes glowed blue. "Almost there."
Finally, Deaton dropped the fly to the drain (slow motion).
Isaac's eyes glowed gold.
Deaton turned to him. "Isaac, you're next."
"I'm aware, all right?" Isaac asked.
Deaton pulled Isaac underneath the running water, putting his fingers in his mouth. "Don't fight it. Don't fight. Isaac, stay still. Got it."
Deaton pulled the fly out, letting it drop (slow motion).
Deaton turned the water off.
Isaac stood on the other side of Ari.
"Are they okay now?" Ari asked.
"I hope so," Deaton answered. "The part that's worrisome is that this was most likely just a distraction for what was happening to Stiles and Stacie."
"So, there's two Stiles and two Stacies now," Angel told them.
"Yes, Angel," Deaton answered.
"How is that even possible?" Angel asked.
"But how did the other ones just take Lydia?" Allison asked.
"So no one notices them just kidnapping her right out of the loft?" Adriana asked.
"Most of them were concentrated on the bizarre sight of a creature materializing from out of the floor, Adriana," Deaton replied.
"Hold on," Natalie told them. "Are we sure that this is the same thing that happened with Stacie? I mean, are they still themselves and not the Nogitsunes?"
"Natalie, they want proof solid enough there will be no reasonable doubt," Deaton told her.
"And how are they gonna do that?" Ari asked.
"That's what they're trying to figure out now, Ari," Deaton told her.
They looked at him in confusion.
¤°¤•¤°¤
Hale Loft - Living Room
Stiles and Stacie were sitting on the couch.
Macey was kneeling in front of them, shining a light through their eyes. "Well, medically, you seem okay. You're definitely real people."
"Okay, so we're real, but are we really us?" Stiles asked.
Scott and Tara walked in.
"Is she here?" Stacie asked.
"Yeah," Tara answered.
"Okay, let's do this," Stiles told them.
No one answered.
"Tara, we have to do this," Stacie told her. "Let her in."
Tara sighed, nodding, opening the door.
Noshiko walked inside. "Do you recognize me, hmm?"
Stiles and Stacie nodded, standing, walking closer.
Kira, Adriana and Ari walked in.
Kira stopped next to her mother. "Stop."
"It's okay," Stacie told them. "We're the ones that asked her to come."
Adriana and Ari walked closer to their friends and their mother.
"You're the ones that are going to get stabbed with swords," Adriana told them.
Macey pulled her daughters toward her. "Ari, Adriana, come here."
"Mom," Adriana told her.
"Adriana," Macey replied. "Adri..."
Ari looked at Noshiko. "Please, don't do this to them."
"It's already done," Noshiko told them. Two Oni appeared in front of Stiles and Stacie. They placed their hands on their heads, doing the ritualistic 'check' for the Nogitsunes inside their bodies. They finished, letting Stiles and Stacie fall to the floor, stepping away. "Look behind their ears."
Ari, Adriana, Macey, Scott and Tara knelt next to Stiles and Stacie, looking behind their ear for the symbol the rest of them had gotten.
"Ari, Adriana, it worked," Macey told them.
"So we're actually us?" Stiles asked.
"More you than the Nogitsunes," Noshiko answered.
"Can the Oni find them?" Stacie asked.
"Tomorrow night," Noshiko answered. "It's too close to dawn now."
"Can they kill them?" Stiles asked.
"It depends on how strong they are," Noshiko told them.
"What about Lydia?" Ari asked. "Why would they take her?"
"They would only take her for an advantage," Noshiko told them.
"You mean her power?" Tara asked.
Noshiko nodded. "The power of a Banshee."

Oak Creek - Tunnels
Lydia was sitting in the tunnels. She could hear the dying screams of the Japanese-American from 1943. She could hear it all. She stood, leaning against the wall. She was terrified.
Void!Stiles walked closer. "Can you hear them?" Lydia looked toward where Void!Stiles and Void!Stacie were standing down the tunnel. "Louder than usual, isn't it? Well, that's because a lot of bad things happened down here."
Lydia started to run away down the tunnel.
"What are the voices telling you?" Void!Stacie asked. "Are they saying that Stiles and Stacie are dying? They are, you know. They're dying."
Lydia ran around a corner of the tunnel. "Then what do you need me for? You think I can tell you something?"
Lydia found a gate, running toward it, trying to open it to no avail.
Void!Stacie laughed evilly. "Oh, we know you can."
"I'm not telling you anything!" Lydia told them angrily in fear.
Void!Stiles appeared right behind her. "You won't have to." Lydia turned to face him. "You'll be screaming."
Lydia prepared to scream.
¤•¤°¤•¤
Scott looked up. He blinked. When he opened his eyes, they were glowing red.
Scott levitated above the ground. Tyler Posey.
Allison was facing the side. She pulled up her bow, her face echoing, releasing the bow. Crystal Reed.
Hands reached up from the soil, reaching toward each other
Stiles stood next to his Jeep, walking forward. Dylan O'Brien
Stacie looked up, facing the right, a slow smile spreading across her face, in the track pose, her face echoing. She ran forward. Zoey Deutch
Ari and Adriana stood back to back. Ari looked to the left, holding her motorcycle helmet in her hands, the irises of her eyes glowing blue. Adriana looked to the right, tracing her double infinity tattoo on her wrist, her eyes glowing completely purple. There was water sprinkles everywhere as they both looked up. Katherine McNamara.
Tara stood with her back toward you, looking over her shoulder, black blood covering her skin, her body reflecting each other. Victoria Justice.
On the back of Tara's hand, a triskele appeared. The spirals were black. The tip of one spiral was Beta blue. The tip of one spiral was Beta gold. The tip of one spiral was Alpha red. The intersection point was purple.
A black wolf howled.
Derek looked up, shirtless, his eyes closed, shifted, roaring, dust falling off of his body. Tyler Hoechlin.
A triskele appeared on Derek's back.
Lydia's hair covered her face, her hands held in front of her. She tossed her head back to get it to fall behind her head. Holland Roden
A double infinity sign tattoo appeared on Adriana's wrist.
Lydia's reflecting heads turned away from each other, screaming.
Two bands appeared over Scott's arm, the top band thicker than the other.
An Oni's mask was covered in blood.
Tara's black blood covered body, her face hidden, reflected itself. She clawed a design into it across her stomach.
Scott stared ahead. His eyes glowed red. He tilted his head down toward his chest.

Yukimura House - Living Room
Kira and Noshiko walked in.
"How are we going to find them?" Kira asked. "And what are we supposed to do until then? Sit around and wait?"
Noshiko picked up a board game with pieces tucked away into two boxes. "Sit and learn."
Kira walked toward the couch, sitting down.
Noshiko knelt next to the coffee table in front of her, putting the game down.
"You want to teach me to play a board game?" Kira asked. "Now?"
"Tara said Stiles and his Nogitsune were playing the game of Go," Noshiko told her. "Stacie said that her Nogitsune used to play that game in her mind as well. That's a very important detail. Perhaps, even crucial. Play starts with an empty board." She opened one box to reveal black pieces inside. "Black is always placed first. Then white." She put down the black box, picking up the white box, taking the lid off, setting it down. "You place stones to create territories. And you capture your opponent's stones by completely surrounding them."
Kira stood. "This is life and death, Mom! It isn't a game."
Noshiko stood. "It is to them. And they're winning. You want to save your friends? You want them to survive? Learn to play."
Kira sighed, sitting down.

Sheriff's Station - Sheriff's Office
Sheriff was sitting at his desk, looking out of his window.
Jordan walked in. "Go home, Sheriff. If anything comes up about your children, you know I'd call you in a second."
"I'm not going anywhere," Sheriff told him.
"Well, neither am I since my shift doesn't end until dawn," Jordan told him. "You need a coffee?"
Sheriff shook his head. "Aw, you're a good guy, Parrish. That's what they all said at your previous station. Though no one could tell me exactly why you left."
"It's complicated," Jordan told him.
"It always is," Sheriff told him.
Jordan sighed. "My sister and her husband, they were caught in an accident, and they died. I had to take in my niece."
Sheriff nodded knowingly. "Angel."
"Yeah," Jordan answered. "After Angel's parents died, after my sister and brother-in-law... we both needed a change. We needed to get away."
Sheriff nodded in understanding. "But why Beacon Hills?"
"I don't really know," Jordan told him. "I guess... we kind of felt drawn here. And I knew there were openings."
"Do you know why there were openings?" Sheriff asked.
"The statistics don't worry me," Jordan told him.
"They worry me," Sheriff told him.
"Well, then maybe you need to get some sleep," Jordan told him. "Go home, Sheriff."
Angel skated closer on her roller blades, looking at Jordan. "I actually have a better idea." Sheriff and Jordan looked at her in confusion. Angel looked over her shoulder to where Scott, Stacie, Stiles and Ari walked closer. Sheriff looked at them in surprise, standing. Angel looked at Jordan. "We should give them a moment."
Jordan nodded.
Jordan and Angel walked away.
Scott, Stacie, Stiles and Ari walked into the office to join Sheriff.
Sheriff looked at them hopefully, walking closer, embracing both Stiles and Stacie.
Stacie chuckled. "Oh."
"Hey, Dad," Stiles told them.
Ari walked over to the desk.
Sheriff pulled away. "Is it over?"
Ari sighed. "Not yet."

Argent Apartment Building - Hallway
Derek was getting into the elevator, about to leave, stopping the elevator from closing, looking at Chris. "You had a gun pointed at my head. You could've pulled the trigger. Why didn't you?"
"Because you're not my enemy anymore, Derek," Chris answered. "And I'm not yours, or Tara's."
"The truth is that we should be out there, looking for them," Derek told him. "Right now. Especially if they can do something like this."
"I'm not sure that's actually going to be necessary," Chris told him.
"Why not?" Derek asked.
"Because is they can do something like this..." Chris trailed off.
"They're stronger than ever," Derek finished. "And she'll be pissed at us for keeping her paralyzed for so long."
"Which means they'll be coming for us," Chris told him.
Derek didn't like the sound of that, letting the elevator close.
¤•¤°¤•¤
Sheriff's Station - Sheriff's Office
Scott, Stiles, Ari and Stacie were waiting.
Sheriff and Angel walked in.
"Uncle Jordan's got an APB out on Lydia's car," Angel told them. "Every unit on the road is looking for her."
"Isn't there anything else that we could do?" Ari asked, worried about Lydia.
"At this hour?" Sheriff asked. "No, not really."
The sun hadn't even rose yet.
"They took her for a reason, Dad," Stacie told him. "Look, if we figure out the why, we can figure out the where."
"Okay," Sheriff told them. "What would two Nogitsunes need with a Banshee?"
"I don't know," Ari told them. "Lydia's pretty good at finding dead bodies. Maybe they need to find a body?"
"Angel, you know about this more than all of us," Sheriff told her.
Angel looked at them in surprise. "Me?"
"You said you and Kira got the whole story from Noshiko," Sheriff told her.
"Yeah, but that happened during World War II," Angel told them. "Like, 70 years ago."
"Wait," Stiles told them. "What did you just say?"
"Noshiko told Kira and me about the internment camp--" Angel started.
"No, Angel, before that," Stiles told her. He looked at Sheriff. "You said the whole story."
"Yeah," Scott told him, lost.
"What is it?" Ari asked.
Stiles and Stacie remembered hearing Meredith on the phone at Eichen House, looking at each other in realization.
"There's a girl," Stacie told them. "At Eichen House. Her name's Meredith. I think she might be able to help."
¤•¤°¤•¤
Later
Jordan hung up his phone, walking into the office to talk to Scott, Stiles, Stacie, Ari, Sheriff and Angel. "Angel. Meredith Walker."
"She's still there?" Sheriff asked.
"Yeah, but they moved her to the Closed Unit," Jordan answered.
"Why?" Angel asked.
"They said behavioral issues," Jordan answered.
"What issues?" Stacie asked.
"She wouldn't stop screaming," Jordan answered. He looked at Ari. "Ari, we got a hit on Lydia's car."
Ari looked relieved and hopeful that they could actually find Lydia so soon, but at the same time, she wasn't getting her hopes up because she knew that would be too easy.
¤•¤°¤•¤
Eichen House - Hallway
Brunski and Sheriff were about to head into the closed unit.
"Seems pretty quiet now," Sheriff told her.
"We had to send a guy down to sedate her," Brunski told him. "Trust me, this little nutjob would not stop screaming." They walked down the hallway. "But five mils of Haldol take her out like you wouldn't believe." Brunski chuckled. He looked into Meredith's room. "What the hell?" He opened the door. They saw that Meredith was gone and the guard was on the floor, unconscious with the sedative needle in his back. "She got his keys."
Meredith was in the hallway behind Sheriff, closing the gate quietly, sneaking away.

Day Two
Morning - Woods
Aiden and Ethan were running through the woods at top speed, coming to a stop.
"Anything?" Ethan asked.
Aiden shook his head. "No scent. No tracks. Nothing."
They heard the sound of a gun clicking.
"Did you hear that?" Ethan asked.
"It sounds like..." Aiden trailed off.
"A round being chambered," Ethan finished. Ethan and Aiden started to run. They were shot at repeatedly, getting hit, making them fall to the ground. Ethan was breathing heavily. "Wolfsbane." He looked toward his unconscious twin. "Aiden."
They continued to get shot at.
¤•¤°¤•¤
Parking Lot
Ari and Isaac stood outside the gate to the parking lot.
Ari pulled on the chains locking it until they broke, opening the fence.
They walked in.
Ari looked at the new blue car Lydia had gotten. "That's it. That's Lydia's car."
"Scent's strong of emotion," Isaac noted.
Ari nodded, smelling two emotions. "Fear."
"And anger," Isaac finished. "More that than anything, Ari."
"Yeah," Ari agreed. "Sounds like Lydia. Let's see what else we can find." She saw Isaac looking under the car, looking at him nervously. "Oh, just--just out of curiosity, do you remember the other night?"
Ari closed her eyes, knowing very well she sounded nervous and idiotic, not knowing if she wanted to know the answer.
Isaac looked up. "You mean the night before last night?"
"That night before the night you weren't you," Ari told him.
Isaac slowly stood, looking at Ari from over the top of the car. "Yeah. I remember."
They got into the car.
¤•¤°¤•¤
Lydia's Car
Ari got into the driver's seat.
Isaac got into the passenger seat.
"So that night, were you... you, or were you not you?" Ari asked.
"You mean, the night when we were us?" Isaac asked.
Ari nodded hesitantly. "Yeah. I just wanna know if... If it was actually you with me."
"Did you want it to be someone else?" Isaac asked teasingly.
"No," Ari answered, giving him a sarcastic look for the teasing question. "No. No, of course not."
Isaac smiled. "Good. Because it was me. And I do remember it. I really remember."
Ari nodded, pressing her lips together, looking down, knowing she had worried about nothing.
Isaac chuckled.
Ari looked at him. "What?"
"Just not used to seeing you... unsure, Ari," Isaac answered. "Not knowing. Out of control. Nervous."
"It only happens when I'm with you," Ari admitted.
"Is that a good thing or bad thing?" Isaac asked.
Ari smiled a small smile. "Good."
"Good," Isaac told her. Ari looked away to the window. "But I like seeing my strong hero leader too, Ari."
"I'm not always a strong hero leader," Ari told him. "I just act like it. Other people act like it too."
"Really?" Isaac asked. "Who?"
"Scott, Tara, Natalie, Adriana, Allison, now even Angel..." Ari trailed off, still looking at the window, remembering something Allison told her about. "Huh."
"What?" Isaac asked.
"Just a trick Allison told me about," Ari answered.
"Oh, Ari, you mean, your sorta step-sister taught you something instead of the other way around?" Isaac asked.
Ari tilted her head at him, looking at the window, exhaling on the glass.
And, in fact, yes, there was a message on the window.
DON'T FIND ME.
Ari looked at Isaac in confusion.

Beacon Hills High School - Coach's Classroom
Class was starting.
Coach was standing next to the blackboard and his desk, on the phone, pissed. "Ten thousand dollars? They pulled an arrow out of my stomach. What did they do? Fill it up with diamonds? All right, fine. What... Okay, just send me the bill. Fine!" He hung up. "Fine." He turned to face the class, including Danny and Angel. "Okay, listen up, kids. Today, we're... you know what? Today we're going to discuss the corrupt institution of health care."
"Um, Coach, we have an unexpected guest," Danny told him.
They looked toward where Meredith was sitting at a desk in the back of the room.
Meredith looked up.
Angel looked at her in realization.
¤•¤°¤•¤
Hale Loft - Living Room
Stacie was sleeping on the couch.
Stiles was sleeping in a chair.
They both seemed to be in pain, gasping awake, standing.
Scott ran closer. "Hey. You guys okay?"
"What happened?" Stiles asked. "How long were we out?"
"Just a couple hours," Scott answered. "You should sit down."
Stacie shook her head. "Where's our dad?"
"He's at Eichen House, questioning everyone," Scott answered. "Looking for Meredith. I promised him I wouldn't let you out of my sight."
"Okay, what about the others?" Stacie asked.
"Allison, Isaac, Ari, Natalie, Adriana, Tara, Derek, the twins, they're all out looking for Lydia," Scott answered.
"It's starting to feel like we're waiting for a ransom call," Stiles told them.
"We'll find her," Scott told them. Stacie pulled on her jacket. "You all right?"
Stacie nodded. "Yeah. I don't know why, I just can't seem to get warm."
"Maybe you should sit down," Scott told them. "Take it easy." Scott put a hand on either of their hands. Black veins trailed into his hands. "You're in pain."
"It's not that bad," Stiles told him. "Just more like a dull ache."
"Where?" Scott asked.
"Sort of everywhere," Stiles answered.
"You're freezing," Scott told them. He led them to the couch to get them to sit down. "Tell me the truth. How much does it really hurt?" Stacie and Stiles didn't answer. Scott's phone vibrated. He pulled it out. "It's Angel." He turned away. "Hey, Angel, what's up? Angel?"
¤•¤°¤•¤
Beacon Hills High School - Coach's Classroom
Angel was still in Coach's classroom, standing at the back of the room. "She's here. In Coach's class. And you need to get here now, too. Like, right now."
Angel looked toward where everyone was looking at Meredith.
Coach snapped his fingers. "Sweetheart. Sweetheart. Do you want to tell me which insane asylum you escaped from?"
"Coach, insane asylum isn't proper terminology anymore," Danny told him.
Coach looked from Danny to Meredith. "Okay. Sweetheart, what... what nuthouse did you escape from?"
"Eichen House," Meredith answered.
Everyone took a step back.
Meredith was ignoring them, watching Angel, seeming to know who she was.
Angel hung up her phone, turning to face them, watching in confusion. "Wanna tell me what you're doing so far from there?"
"Trying to help," Meredith answered. "I can hear them. They scream."
"That's got to be terrifying," Angel told her. "What, uh... why do they scream?"
"They scream when someone's about to die," Meredith answered.
Angel stepped closer, looking at her in concern. "Are they screaming right now?" Meredith nodded. "How many of them?"
Meredith looked up at Angel. "All of them, Angel."
¤°¤•¤°¤
¤°¤•¤°¤
Woods
Ethan and Aiden were running weakly through the woods after being shot with wolfsbane. They fell to the ground.
Derek and Tara ran toward them to help, grabbing each one of them, pulling their arms over their shoulders, running away through the woods.
"Tara, help me," Derek told her. "Run!"
The same ones shooting at the twins tried to shoot them down as they ran on.
¤°¤•¤°¤
Beacon Hills High School - Hallway
Angel was standing in the hallway.
Brunski and two orderlies walked in.
Angel turned away worriedly.
Coach walked out of his office, closing the door.
Angel walked up to him. "Coach, you can't let them take her back. It's hard to explain, but if you let her go back, then really, really bad things are going to happen to Lydia and Allison, to Scott and Stiles, to Ari and Stacie and Natalie and Tara and Adriana, and maybe everyone, including you. So please, don't let them take her."
"Who are you?" Coach asked.
"Um... I'm Angel," Angel answered. "I'm new."
Brunski and the two orderlies walked closer.
Coach sighed. "Oh, hell."
"Finstock," Brunski told him. "Coach Bobby Finstock. This is a delightful surprise. Hmm. What is that saying? Those who can't do, teach?"
"Yeah, that's funny," Coach told him sarcastically.
"Now, is it Professor Finstock when you're off the field?" Brunski asked. "I'm glad to see you made it pro something, Bobby."
"It's Coach," Coach told him. "Coach... you know... professors teach college."
"Oh, well, you let me know when you make higher education," Brunski told him. Angel raised her eyebrows. "Now, Coach, where's Meredith?"
"She's fine," Coach told him. "She's just sitting in my office."
Coach opened the door to his office to reveal that Meredith had gotten out in the backdoor.
Brunski looked at the two other orderlies. "Find her."
They walked away.
Angel smirked.

Argent Apartment Building - Basement
(Song:) The Greatest View - Flume feat. Isabella Manfredi
Allison was dismantling the sight on her large rifle in the weapons storage area/workshop of the apartment building.
Chris walked in. "I had a feeling you might be down here."
Allison managed a small smile. "I needed to do something. I hate waiting. Feeling useless."
Chris put a hand on Allison's to stop her from working on the rifle. "Leave it for now, huh? I have something else you can do." He knelt next to a safe. Allison turned to watch him in confusion. "Something we should've done a while ago." Chris took out a box, standing, turning to put the box on the table next to his daughter, opening it, taking out a bar of silver with a fleur-de-lis carved into it. "It's time for you to graduate."
Allison looked up, smiling a small smile.

Oak Creek - Tunnels
Lydia walked down the stairs to stand next to a gate door, trying to open it to no avail. She looked behind her toward the Nogitsunes. "They'll find me. My friends, my family, they are going to find me."
Void!Stiles walked down the stairs toward her.
Void!Stacie sat at the top of the stairs. "You think so? I, myself, was kind of wondering what they're doing right now."
¤•¤°¤•¤
Beacon Hills High School - Hallway
Scott, Stiles, Stacie and Ari pushed the doors open, walking into the school.(slow motion).
Void!Stacie: (voice over) "What useless lead they're chasing."
¤°¤•¤°¤
Woods
Derek and Tara were helping Ethan and Aiden through the woods.
Tara looked behind them to see if she could see the shooter or shooters, but she couldn't find anyone.
Void!Stacie: (voice over) "I wonder if maybe some of them have bigger problems to deal with right now."
Tara turned back forward, pulling Ethan along.
¤°¤•¤°¤
Elsewhere
Adriana was in the woods alone, trying to follow a scent or a lead, but the trail ended.
Void!Stacie: (voice over) "Are they really spending every minute looking for you?"
¤•¤°¤•¤
Oak Creek - Tunnels
Void!Stacie sat at the top of the stairs. "Or... are they waiting for nightfall?"
¤•¤°¤•¤
Argent Apartment Building - Basement
Chris was showing Allison how to melt the bar of silver to create a weapon.
Void!Stacie: (voice over) "Focused on some hopeless gesture to pass the time."
¤•¤°¤•¤
Oak Creek - Tunnels
Void!Stacie sat at the top of the stairs.
Void!Stiles walked down the stairs toward Lydia.
Lydia turned to face them, glaring, angry but afraid. "What do you want?"
"More," Void!Stiles answered.
"More what?" Lydia asked.
"The trickster stories are all about food, Lydia," Void!Stiles told her. "The Coyote, the Raven, the Fox. They're all hungry. We're the same. We just crave something a little different." Lydia turned away from him to the gate. "We eat what you feel." Void!Stiles stood directly behind Lydia, pulling her hair back, making her cringe and whimper, speaking into her ear. "And we are insatiable."
Lydia tried not to cry.
¤•¤°¤•¤
Beacon Hills High School - Music Room
Meredith had made her way to the dark music room, plucking the strings on the back of a piano board, leaning close to listen carefully.
She could hear whispering voices.
Brunski walked in from behind her.
Meredith nodded. "I can hear you. But I can't understand. Just a little louder, please."
Meredith plucked a few more strings.
Brunski walked closer with a stun gun.
¤•¤°¤•¤
¤•¤°¤•¤
Meredith continued to pluck the strings. She could hear the electricity flickering from the stun gun, turning to see Brunski behind her.
"Let's go, sweetheart," Brunski told her. "As you know, I'm not averse to using the tools of my trade." He let the stun gun glow with light, smirking. "As often as necessary."
"I just... I need another second, okay?" Meredith asked. "They're trying to tell me something."
Brunski walked closer. "Meredith."
"Please," Meredith told him. "They're trying to tell me something."
Brunski raised the stun gun to use it against her.
Coach caught his arm. "This school has a very strict no bullying policy." He pushed the stun gun into Brunski's chest, making him fall. He looked at Scott, Stiles, Stacie, Ari and Angel, gesturing to Meredith. "Well? Get her out of here!"
Angel grabbed Meredith by her arms, running out of the room with her.
Scott, Stiles, Stacie and Ari followed just as quickly.
Brunski looked at Coach angrily. "You little piece of--"
Coach tasered him again, making him groan in pain. "We also frown on cursing."
¤°¤•¤°¤
Outside
Scott, Stiles, Stacie, Angel and Meredith ran toward the Jeep, getting inside.
Ari ran closer, standing outside the Jeep. "I'll meet you at your house."
Scott nodded.
Ari ran toward her motorcycle, getting on, pulling on her helmet.
¤•¤°¤•¤
Stiles' Jeep
Stiles was in the driver's seat.
Scott was in the passenger seat.
Stacie, Meredith and Angel were in the backseat.
They turned to Meredith.
"Okay," Stacie told her. "Where's Lydia?"
"Who's Lydia?" Meredith asked.
Scott, Stiles, Stacie and Angel exchanged a look.

Argent Apartment Building - Basement
Chris and Allison were still forging a weapon out of silver.
"Remember, you can start over," Chris told her. "I was a bit of a perfectionist about it, myself. I always wanted the seal to look just right."
Chris showed her the silver bullet he had made.
"How many did you make?" Allison asked.
"Six," Chris answered. "But I used them all. Only at close range, though. Despite some other legends, silver's not really as accurate as lead."
"Dad, wait," Allison told him. "I think I should use my own mold."
"You have a bullet mold?" Chris asked.
"No, not a bullet," Allison answered. "An arrowhead. The bow is my weapon. So, I think I should make a silver arrowhead." Chris smiled proudly in agreement, kissing her on the head. "Dad... if something happens..."
"Hey, hey," Chris told her. "You don't need to worry about me."
"Well, I didn't get to say anything to Mom," Allison told him.
"You didn't need to say anything," Chris told her. "And I'm going to be around a long time. I promise."
"Well, then take it as a reminder," Allison told him. "Maybe you don't need to hear it, but I need to know that I said it." She took a deep breath. "I love you. I'm proud of you. I... I'm proud of us."
They smiled small smiles, embracing.
Chris kissed the top of her head, walking away.
Allison turned to make her silver arrowhead.
¤•¤°¤•¤
McCall House - Foyer
Isaac, Natalie and Raphael were waiting.
Scott, Stiles, Stacie, Ari, Angel and Meredith walked inside.
Scott looked at Raphael. "What are you doing here?"
"I could ask you the same thing," Raphael replied.
"Free period," Stacie told him. "We're doing group study."
Raphael looked at Meredith. "Who's she?"
Stiles put his arm around Meredith. "She's my girlfriend."
"You're not my type," Meredith told him.
"Well, obviously, we have a lot we need to talk about," Stiles told her. "We should maybe take this upstairs."
Meredith looked at Isaac. "He's my type."
Natalie smirked, looking from Ari to Isaac. "Uh-oh, Ari."
Isaac pressed his lips together over a smirk.
Ari had a blank but jealous-and-trying-to-hide-the-fact-that-she-was-jealous look. "He's taken."
Isaac smirked.
"But okay, Ari and Isaac can come too," Angel told them. "You too, Natalie."
"Me, Natalie?" Natalie repeated.
"Yes, you, Natalie, unless there's another Natalie somewhere," Angel answered.
Stiles, Stacie, Ari, Angel, Meredith, Natalie and Isaac walked upstairs.
Scott walked toward Raphael. "Hey, Dad, I'll explain all of this later."
"I don't care that you're not in school," Raphael told him. "I know your grades are fine. All I want to do is talk."
"Now's really not a good time," Scott told him.
"Scott," Raphael told him. "We need to talk."
¤•¤°¤•¤
Scott's Room
Meredith and Angel were sitting on the bed.
Stiles, Stacie, Natalie, Isaac and Ari stood in front of her.
"Lydia," Meredith told them. "You mean the red-haired girl." She looked at Ari. "Other than you, Ari."
"Yes," Stiles answered. "Yes! Good. Progress."
"Now, all you gotta do is tell us where she is," Ari told her.
"Okay," Meredith told them.
"Okay," Angel repeated.
"If she tells me," Meredith told them.
"If she tells you?" Isaac repeated.
"Can you ask her?" Natalie asked.
"I already did," Meredith told them.
"Perfect," Ari told her. "Perfect. What did she say?"
"She said..." Meredith trailed off. "She doesn't want to be found."
"That's good, too," Stacie told them
"Okay," Natalie told them, looking away.
Angel sighed. "Stacie, Natalie, really?"
¤°¤•¤°¤
Foyer
Scott was sitting down.
Raphael was working up the courage to tell him everything.
"Dad, can't we do this tomorrow?" Scott asked.
"That's actually something I've been saying for a long time," Raphael told him. "Come here." He led Scott toward a dent in the floor. "You see this? This indent in the floor?" He knelt next to the indent. "That was from your head. The night before I moved out, your mother and I were fighting." Scott knelt next to him. "You came out of your room. I grabbed you by the wrist. You pulled back. And you fell. We watched you tumble down those stairs. You were out for probably 20 seconds. When you came to, you didn't remember a thing. Your mom told me to be out by the morning. That was the last time I ever had a drink." Raphael looked at Scott sadly. "And that's why I left."
Scott looked down.
¤•¤°¤•¤
Coyote Den
Ethan and Aiden were unconscious on the floor of the coyote den.
Tara pushed Derek into the wall. "When are you going to stop telling Scott things about me I'm not planning on telling him?"
"When you start to realize those are things you should be telling him yourself because he deserves to know, Tara," Derek replied just as quietly. Tara opened her mouth to argue. "You leaving town without telling him in an attempt to protect him is something he deserves to know, Tara."
Tara exhaled, letting him go, turning away.
Ethan and Aiden gasped, returning to consciousness with panicked and pained breathing.
"Where are we?" Ethan asked.
"It's a coyote den," Derek answered, walking closer to them. "Stay quiet."
"Did you guys see the shooter?" Ethan asked. "You know who it is?"
Tara turned to face them. "No, we were a little busy. Who else did the two of you piss off?"
"We pissed off everyone, Tara," Aiden answered. "It was only a matter of time before someone caught up to us."
"Wait," Ethan told them. "Tara, if it's someone not just pissed at us, but at the whole Alpha Pack, then we're not the only ones they'll be targeting. Adriana. Tara, what if they kill Ari instead of Adriana?"
"Ari's with Scott, Angel, Stiles, Stacie, Natalie and Isaac, Adriana's not," Tara told them. "So Ari's safe. Adriana's not. I'll call Adriana."
"Well, the bullets have wolfsbane in them," Derek told them. Tara pulled out her phone. "So, if we don't get you out of here soon, the poison is going to spread. Stay quiet. I'll be back." Derek looked from the twins to his sister. "Don't say anything to piss Tara off. I already have."
"Thanks," Aiden told him sarcastically.
Tara gave them a sarcastic look, rolling her eyes.
Derek walked out, leaving.
¤•¤°¤•¤
Woods
Adriana was still trying to find a lead on where Lydia and the Nogitsunes might be. She was on the phone.
Ari's voice was on the other line. "Adriana, where are you?"
"Trying to find Lydia's scent so it can lead me to Lydia," Adriana answered.
"Any luck?" Ari asked.
"Nope," Adriana answered.
Ari was still in Scott's room, standing by the door, sighing. "Adriana, this girl says Lydia doesn't wanna be found, and so does the message on her car window."
"Well, too freaking bad," Adriana told her. She heard a twig snap, looking around. "She does realize she's with two homicidal foxes with demonic ninjas ready to kill anyone who stands in their way, right?"
"I don't know, Adri," Ari told her.
Adriana heard an electronic voice on her cell say, "Call waiting."
"Hang on, another call," Adriana told her, switching the call over, seeing that Tara was calling. "I'd never thought I'd see the day when Tara Hale would call me."
Tara was still in the coyote den. "Don't flatter yourself. The twins were shot down in the woods. We think it might be someone who's pissed at you all for being in the Alpha Pack, Adriana."
"I think you might be right, Tara," Adriana told her. She took a deep breath. "Tara, thanks for the warning." She switched over to Ari's call. "Ari, I gotta go."
"What?" Ari asked. "Adri, why? What's wrong?"
"Nothing," Adriana told her. "You worry too much. Catch you later. If you or Stace feel any pain, don't worry. I'm going to Allison's."
Ari was worried and alarmed. "Whoa, wait. Adri--"
Adriana hung up, putting her phone away. She could hear a round being chambered, looking around.
Gunshots were fired toward Adriana.
Adriana ran away. She was shot in the arm, groaning in pain, hiding against a tree, looking down at her wound, seeing purple smoke waft away from it, knowing that wolfsbane was laced in the bullet, groaning in frustrated annoyance.
The shooter had to reload.
Adriana ran away, leaving.
¤°¤•¤°¤
McCall House - Scott's Room
Angel and Meredith were still sitting on the bed.
Ari and Stacie were standing by the door. They both felt the pain that Adriana felt.
Stacie looked at Ari in confusion. "Adriana."
¤°¤•¤°¤
Woods - Adriana's Car
Adriana got to her car, opening the door, practically falling into the driver's seat, closing the door. She opened the glove compartment, grabbing a lighter from inside, lighting it, pressing it against the skin on her arm.
¤°¤•¤°¤
McCall House - Scott's Room
Ari and Stacie both felt the burn on their skin.
Natalie walked closer. "Stace, is Adriana okay?"
"Natalie, Adriana is okay now," Stacie answered.
"Adri is crazy, Stace," Natalie told her.
"You're just now figuring out that Adri is crazy, Natalie?" Stacie asked.
Isaac and Stiles were talking about Meredith.
"I'm just saying," Isaac whispered.
"Isaac, we're not going to torture her," Stiles told him.
"I'm pretty sure he meant scare her," Natalie told them.
"We're not going to psychologically torture her either, Natalie," Stacie told her.
They looked at Ari.
Ari shook her head.
Natalie sighed. "Fine."
Angel stood, walking closer. "Okay, how about this? When I was with her, she said that she heard voices and screams in her head when someone was about to die. Doesn't that mean she's like Lydia? A Banshee?"
The others realized that Angel was right. "Angel..."
Angel looked at them weirdly when they all said her name. "What? Natalie?"
"Angel, you're a genius," Stacie answered.
Natalie nodded in agreement. "That was like Ari-level genius, Angel."
Stacie nodded, pointing at Natalie. "What Natalie said."
Angel looked at Ari. "Really, Ari? About what Natalie said?"
Ari smiled, shrugging. "When Stacie and Natalie agree on something, Angel, you know it's true."
¤°¤•¤°¤
Foyer
Scott was showing other things to Raphael, pointing out all of the things that his father had missed when he had been growing up, thinking that leaving was a bigger crime than what he had done. "Okay, Dad, let me show you something. See the edge of this window sill? When I got my first skateboard, I slid right into it. Broke my collarbone. This used to be glass until I fell on top of it trying to catch a lacrosse ball from Stiles. I got three stitches in my cheek. This house is full of accidents. The stairs? Maybe it was an accident, maybe it was worse. But I healed. And I don't need your apology. So, see you at graduation. Or whenever you decide to show up again."
Raphael looked down guiltily.
¤•¤°¤•¤
Scott's Room
Ari and Isaac were standing at the door.
"I'm seeing new aspects of you every day," Isaac told her. "I didn't know you could get jealous."
"I wasn't jealous," Ari told him, shaking her head.
"Yes, you were, Ari," Isaac told her.
Ari tilted her head at him. "And, yes, you did, because you tried to get a reaction out of me when you asked Derek and Tara about Cora with me in the back seat."
"It worked, didn't it?" Isaac asked, unashamed. "And you just admitted you were jealous then and now."
Ari narrowed her eyes at his smile.
Stiles looked at Ari and Isaac. "You guys are adorable, really." He gestured to the others. "Can we get back on point here?"
Meredith and Angel were sitting on the bed.
Stacie and Natalie were kneeling on the floor in front of them, rolling their eyes, looking at Meredith. Stiles was behind them.
"Okay, just try to focus on the sounds around you, on what you're hearing," Stacie told her. "Just focus on the silence."
"Listen to the silence," Natalie corrected.
"Focusing on the silence," Stacie told them.
"Listening to the silence," Natalie told them.
"Stacie, Natalie, can you two please shut up before you confuse her?" Ari asked.
Ari and Isaac walked closer.
"Ari's right," Stiles told them. "As per usual."
"Yeah," Stacie agreed. She looked at Natalie. "Let me handle this, Natalie, please. I have more experience with Banshees."
"Yeah," Natalie agreed. "And mental patients. And being a mental patient."
Stacie turned her head to give Natalie a look. "Natalie."
Ari closed her eyes, putting a hand to her head.
Angel smirked.
"Isn't anyone going to get that?" Meredith asked.
"Get what?" Angel asked.
"The phone," Meredith answered.
"What phone?" Stiles asked.
"The phone," Isaac told them.
Meredith pointed at Angel's pocket. "Your phone, Angel."
Angel played along, pulling out her phone. "Oh, the phone. My phone. Yes." She pretended to answer. "Hello. Yes, she is, actually. She's sitting right here." She held the phone out to Meredith. "It's for you."
Meredith took the phone. As if hearing a real response, she hung up, handing it to Angel. "They say coup de foudre."
"Coup de what?" Stacie asked. They looked up at Ari, all of them knowing she'd know what it meant. "Ari?"
"Bolt of lightning," Ari answered, but confused at the same time.
"Is it Spanish?" Stiles asked.
Ari shook her head.
Angel sighed. "French." Everyone looked at her. Angel looked at them in realization, remembering the phrase from Noshiko's story. "It's French. I know where they are."
They looked at her in surprise.
¤•¤°¤•¤
Yukimura House - Living Room
The game of Go was still on the table.
Yukimura and Kira stood nearby, talking.
"I don't know where she is," Yukimura told her. "But I do know she's trying to keep you out of this for as long as possible."
"Well, she should've thought about that before she had me magically rebuild a samurai sword and told me to stay away from Angel," Kira told him.
"I know a lot of this is going to be very strange for you," Yukimura told her. "You're going to need to learn a lot very quickly, Kira."
"Yeah, like board games?" Kira asked.
"In Korea, we call it Baduk," Yukimura told her. "There are different styles of play. Aggressive. Passive. Orthodox."
They looked at the game board.
"Can you tell who's who?" Kira asked.
"I know you're black," Yukimura told her. "The novice player always goes first."
"The white's the Nogitsunes," Kira realized.
"But these stones are placed in your mother's style," Yukimura told her. "Aggressive."
"Yeah, but she put them down to represent the Nogitsunes," Kira told him.
"Are you sure about that?" Yukimura asked.
They both seemed concerned, realizing that the two styles were identical.

Argent Apartment Building - Basement
Allison was still working on making her silver arrowhead, comparing it to Chris' silver bullet. "What am I missing?" Her phone rang. She put down the arrowhead and the bullet, picking up her phone, answering. "Hello?"
Ari's voice was on the other line. "We know where Lydia is."

Night - Oak Creek - Outside
Noshiko walked up to the gates of Oak Creek. She broke the chains that were tying the doors together, pushing them open, walking in.
The Oni followed her closely behind.

Hale Loft - Living Room
Tara opened the loft door, leading the way into the dark living room.
Derek helped Aiden inside.
Chris helped Ethan inside.
Tara stopped a few feet away from the couch.
Derek and Chris put the twins on the couch, both backing away to stand on either side of Tara.
Derek showed them bullet shells from the woods. "I found these on the ground."
"You said that Adriana might be involved?" Chris asked.
"I called to warn Adriana, and Adriana said she thought she might be a target too," Tara told him.
"Neither of us have been able to contact Adriana since," Derek told him.
"This wasn't Araya, was it?" Chris asked, looking truly worried about Adriana.
"I don't know," Derek told them. "They don't look like her shells."
Chris took the shells, carefully looking over them, realizing who these belonged to, but in complete disbelief. "That's not possible." His phone vibrated, so he answered without explaining to Derek and Tara who he thought the shells belonged too. "Allison?"
"They found her," Allison told him. "They found her, Dad. They found Lydia. I'm on my way."
"Allison, hold on," Chris told her. "You have to wait."
"I can't, Dad," Allison told him.
"Allison, wait for me," Chris told her. "Adriana's not answering her phone. You have to wait."
"There's no time," Allison told him. "It's already night. Adriana's with me. Adriana lost her phone, but she's with me. There's no time, Dad."
Chris turned away. "Wait, Allison, wait!" Allison hung up. Chris turned to face Derek and Tara. "One of them is going to get hurt or worse."
Tara looked from Derek to the twins to Chris. "I'll help you."
Chris looked at Tara with a small amount of surprise.
Tara nodded.
Chris nodded in response. "Thank you, Tara."
Derek was proud of Tara. "Tara, go on. And thanks."
Tara and Chris waked out, leaving.
Derek turned to tend to Ethan and Aiden so they didn't die.

On the Road - Stiles' Jeep
Stiles was driving.
Stacie was in the passenger seat.
Scott and Natalie were in the backseat.
Stacie and Stiles were both in pain.
"Hey, you okay?" Scott asked.
Stiles sighed. "Yeah."
"Yeah, you don't have to worry about me," Stacie told them.
"All right, I'm gonna say it," Natalie told them. "You look like you're dying. You're pale, and you're thin, and you look like you're getting worse. And we're all sitting here thinking it. When we find the other yous, will they look like they're getting better?"
"Still as blunt but caring as ever, Natalie," Stacie told her.
Scott looked at Stacie and Stiles. "What happens if they get hurt?"
"You mean, if they die, do we die?" Stiles asked. "I don't care if I die. Just as long as no one else dies because of me."
"Me, too," Stacie told them. Scott and Natalie looked at them in surprise and hurt. "I remember everything I did, Natalie. I remember pushing that sword into Ari and Tara. I remember your brother getting electrocuted to protect you, Natalie. Natalie, that was because of us, too."
"I remember twisting the swords in you and Ari, Scott, just to feed the Nogitsune inside of Stacie," Stiles told him. "I remember taking Ari's power and laughing at her and your pain. I remember making Oliver torture Stacie in the basement at Eichen House not once, but twice."
"It wasn't you," Scott told them.
"Yeah, but we remember it," Stacie told them. She looked in the review mirror to look at Scott and Natalie. "You guys gotta promise us, Natalie. Natalie, you can't let anyone else get hurt because of us."
Scott and Natalie didn't answer, looking hurt and conflicted.

Oak Creek - Tunnels
Void!Stacie was standing at the top of the stairs, looking down at Lydia and Void!Stiles.
Void!Stiles was still standing close to Lydia.
Lydia glared at them, having been crying. "You're nervous. Aren't you? You know they're coming. You know they're going to kill both of you."
"Well, that's exactly why we're keeping you so close," Void!Stiles told her.
Void!Stacie smirked.
¤•¤°¤•¤
Outside
Ari and Isaac got off of Ari's motorcycle.
Scott, Natalie, Stacie and Stiles got out of the Jeep.
Angel, Adriana, Allison and Kira got out of Adriana's car.
They all looked at each other.
"We've done this before, guys," Scott told them. "A couple of weeks ago, we were standing around just like this, and we saved Malia, remember? That was a total stranger. This is Lydia."
"I'm here to save my best friend," Allison told them.
"I came to save mine," Scott agreed, looking at Stiles.
Ari looked at Stacie. "I came to save mine."
"You mean yours, mine and Adriana's," Natalie told her, gesturing from herself to Adriana.
Ari looked at Natalie and Adriana, nodding.
Adriana nodded. "Natalie's right." She looked at Ari. "And save our cousin."
Ari nodded in agreement.
Stacie looked at Stiles. "I'm here to save my brother."
"And save my sister," Stiles told her.
"I just didn't feel like doing any homework," Angel told them to lighten the mood.
Kira chuckled.
They walked through the gate.
Stiles, Stacie and Scott walked inside to find Lydia.
Ari, Isaac, Kira, Angel, Allison, Natalie and Adriana went to face Noshiko and the Oni.
"Kira, turn around and go home," Noshiko told her. "Take your friends with you."
"I can't," Kira told her. "When I looked at the game, I realized who I was actually playing. You."
¤°¤•¤°¤
Inside
Scott, Stiles and Stacie ran toward the tunnels.
Scott stopped, making Stacie and Stiles stop, inhaling deeply. "She's here. This way."
They ran in an attempt to find Lydia before it was too late.
¤°¤•¤°¤
Outside
Ari, Isaac, Kira, Angel, Allison, Natalie and Adriana faced off with Noshiko and the Oni.
Allison aimed her bow and arrow. "Call them off."
"You think you could take them alive?" Noshiko asked. "You think you can save them?"
"What if we can?" Ari asked.
"I tried something like that 70 years ago," Noshiko told them. "Your friends are gone."
"Are you sure?" Angel asked. "Or if Stiles and Stacie don't have to die, maybe Rhys and Rinko didn't have to die, either?"
The Oni each swung their swords, in a fighting stance.
Noshiko smiled a small smile. "I see I'm no longer the fox, now, Kira. You are. But the Nogitsunes are still my demons to bury."
All of the Oni disappeared.
¤°¤•¤°¤
Tunnels
Void!Stiles, Void!Stacie and Lydia stood in the tunnels behind the gate.
They looked around.
"They're here," Lydia told them. "And I don't need to scream to know that they're going to kill you."
"Good," Void!Stiles told her. "Because that's exactly why we brought you."
Void!Stacie pulled out Noshiko's last tail. "We needed to know when they would be close enough. When our own deaths were closing in." The five Oni appeared around them, surrounding them, drawing their swords. Lydia ran out of the way. "'Cause only when they're close, can I do this..."
The Oni ran toward Void!Stiles and Void!Stacie, about to impale them with their swords.
Void!Stacie broke the last tail/knife in her hands.
¤•¤°¤•¤
Outside
Ari, Isaac, Kira, Angel, Allison, Natalie and Adriana faced off with Noshiko.
Noshiko looked down at the firefly in her hand as it disappeared into shadow.
"Mom?" Kira asked.
"What is that?" Adriana asked. "What does it mean?"
They heard Void!Stacie's voice. "It means there's been a change in ownership." They turned to see Void!Stiles and Void!Stacie stood behind them. The Oni stood behind them, ready to bend at their will. "Now they belong to us."
The Oni held their swords ready.
Adriana, Natalie, Allison, Angel, Kira, Isaac and Ari stood ready for the fight that was to come.
¤°¤•¤°¤
¤°¤•¤°¤
An Oni slashed toward Kira. Kira raised her katana to block the move, spinning to slash toward another, clashing her swords with two Oni.
Void!Stacie was watching, smirking.
Noshiko was in hiding.
Natalie and Isaac were shifted, letting their eyes glow gold.
Natalie pinned an Oni to the ground, growling.
Isaac slashed into another Oni. The Oni swung his sword toward him. Isaac ducked.
An Oni tried to slash into Angel. Angel ducked, using her skateboard to hit the Oni in the face with enough force to make him back away, kicking him back into the wall.
Ari and Adriana both grabbed their two Onis by their black cloaks, turning to face each other to push the Onis against each other, using the extra strength they had together to throw the two Onis toward the gates of Oak Creek. (slow motion)
Another Oni kicked Isaac into the wall behind him.
Allison shot an arrow at an Oni. (slow motion)
The Oni used his sword to destroy the arrow.
¤°¤•¤°¤
Inside - Tunnels
Lydia was locked inside the tunnels alone. She heard someone coming, looking up. She ran toward the gate.
Scott, Stiles and Stacie ran down the stairs toward her.
"You all right?" Scott asked, starting to open the door.
"No," Lydia told them. "No, no, no, no. Why are you here?"
"Lydia, we're here for you," Stiles told her.
"You weren't supposed to be here," Lydia told them. "You didn't get my message?"
"Lydia, what's happening?" Stacie asked.
"Who else is here?" Lydia asked. She raised her voice. "Who came with you?" She lowered her voice again, desperate. "Who else is here?"
¤°¤•¤°¤
Outside
Isaac slashed toward an Oni. The Oni ducked, slashing his sword toward Isaac. Isaac ducked. The Oni pushed him in the chest, making him back away.
Another Oni pushed Adriana to the ground, swinging his sword down to kill her.
Angel stood next to them, raising her skateboard over her head and Adriana's head to use it to block the sword's blow, turning the skateboard to push the sword away, using it to hit the Oni in the face, making it spin in the air before it fell to the ground. (slow motion)
Adriana spun into a standing position, sensing an Oni behind them, linking her arm with Angel's, spinning her to where Angel was standing behind her and she was facing the Oni, letting Angel go, kicking the Oni to the ground. (slow motion)
Kira kicked an Oni back.
An Oni pushed Natalie into the wall, slashing its sword toward her neck, trying to kill her by decapitation. Natalie ducked, making the sword hit the wall, spinning out of the way, kicking the Oni into the wall, making it fall, backing away. (slow motion)
Kira used her sword to clash with another Oni, spinning to duck a move. (slow motion)
Isaac looked at Noshiko. "How do we stop them?"
"You can't!" Noshiko answered.

Natalie ran closer to try to help.
An Oni slashed a sword into Natalie's back, making her fall to the ground.
¤°¤•¤°¤
Inside - Tunnels
Scott, Stacie, Stiles and Lydia were running down the tunnels.
Stacie could feel Adriana's pain through Ari's pain, making her stop in front of Stiles and Lydia and cry out in pain. "Adri."
Lydia caught Stacie before she fell. "Adri? What's wrong with Adri?"
Stacie couldn't keep going. "Adri's hurt. Guys, I can't."
Stacie started to fall against the wall.
Stiles and Lydia helped Stacie sit down, sitting next to her worriedly.
Scott didn't notice that they had to stop, continuing to run down the tunnel.
Stacie was trying not to cry from the pain.
¤°¤•¤°¤
Outside

Adriana was kneeling on the ground, being slashed into by Oni on either side of her. (slow motion)
Ari was shifted, letting her eyes glow purple, growling.
Isaac was kneeling on the ground, being slashed into by Oni on either side of him.
Ari grabbed one Oni slashing into Isaac, pushing him into the other one slashing him, making both fall to the ground.
Adriana looked up with weak anger from her kneel on the ground as two slashed her, grabbing either of their swords, pulling them together, making them both hit each other with an enormous strength, making them fall (slow motion).
The last Oni appeared behind Ari. Ari turned around. The Oni ran the sword into Ari's stomach, making her gasp in pain and agony, pulling it out, letting her fall to her knees. (slow motion).
¤°¤•¤°¤
Tunnels
Stacie was sitting on the floor of the tunnels, in agony from all the pain that she could feel, putting a hand to her stomach. Her nose started to bleed heavily.
Lydia and Stiles knelt next to her worriedly.
"Stacie?" Stiles asked worriedly. "Stace? What's happening?"
"It's too much," Stacie told them.
Lydia held Stacie by the hand.
¤•¤°¤•¤

An Oni raised its sword above Ari's head to kill her.
Allison drew her silver arrowhead, lining up her shot, firing the arrow into his chest. (slow motion)
The Oni stopped in shock, looking to be in pain.
Allison watched in confusion.
The Oni dropped his sword, clutching his chest. He began to glow with yellow-green light of the firefly.
The ground started to shake, making all of the fighting stop.
The Oni evaporated into black smoke, darkness, dying.
Void!Stiles and Void!Stacie were surprised and angry that Allison had found a way to kill an Oni.
Allison was shocked and ecstatic, smiling.
Another Oni ran toward Allison, running his sword through her stomach, making her gasp in pain and shock. (slow motion)

Stacie was on the floor, gasping in pain. Blood was beading on her lips, trailing down the corner of her chin. She knew where this pain was coming from and why it felt so different than everything else she felt, in horrified, shocked denial, barely able to speak above a whisper. "Allison."
Stiles and Lydia were still kneeling next to her.
Stiles was confused.
Lydia knew what was happening, horrified, shocked and in denial, Banshee screaming her best friend's name. "Allison!"
The camera shot pulled further and further away from Stacie, Stiles and Lydia on the floor.

Outside
Scott ran outside, stopping at a gate.
The Oni pulled the sword out of Allison.
Scott watched in horror, opening the gate, running closer.
Void!Stiles and Void!Stacie walked away, leaving.
The remaining four Oni disappeared with them.
Allison started to fall.
Scott caught Allison in his arms, kneeling on the ground, holding her. (slow motion)
Ari was not completely healed, standing, running closer.
Adriana stopped next to Ari, stopping her.
"What are you doing?" Ari asked with a low, broken whisper. "We can give her power to help her heal--we can save her."
Adriana looked devastated. "It doesn't work for humans."
Ari was heartbroken by this response, forming tears in her eyes.
Kira ran to Angel's side. They were in shock.
Isaac knelt next to Natalie.
Natalie was in shock, denial.
"Allison," Scott told her.
"Did you find her?" Allison asked. "Is she okay? Is Lydia safe?"
"She's okay," Scott answered. "Yeah." He took Allison by the hand, trying to take her pain. Nothing happened. "I can't. I can't take your pain."
"It's because it doesn't hurt," Allison whispered.
Ari started to cry. "No."
Adriana had tears in her eyes, holding Ari.

Outside the Gate
Chris and Tara got to Oak Creek too late.
Tara could hear what was happening, slowing to a stop in shock, whispering. "Oh, no."
Chris stopped next to her. "Tara? What is it? What do you hear? Tara?"
Tara looked at him hesitantly, somber. "It's Allison."
Chris looked at her in confusion, not willing to accept anything until he saw it for himself.
Tara ran toward the gate. (slow motion)

Inside the Gate
Scott was holding Allison's dying body.
Ari and Adriana stood next to them.
Isaac and Natalie knelt to the ground behind them.
Angel and Kira stood next to each other, in shock, holding hands.
"It's okay," Allison told them.
"Allison," Scott whispered.
Ari let out a quiet sob.
Adriana started to cry, so devastated that she traced the double infinity sign tattoo on her wrist as a form of nostalgia and punishing herself for not being able to save both who she got the tattoo for, and for Allison.
Allison looked at all of them. "It's okay. It's okay. It's okay." Scott started to cry. Allison looked at Scott. "It's perfect. I'm in the arms of my first love. The first person I've ever loved. The person I'll always love. I love you. Scott. Scott McCall." She looked at Ari and Adriana. "I'm surrounded by my sisters."
Ari and Adriana looked at Allison in devastation, crying.
"Don't," Scott told her. "Please don't. Allison, please don't."
"Ari, you have to tell my dad," Allison told her. "You have to tell my dad, Adri. Tell him."
Ari and Adriana nodded.
"We promise," Adriana whispered.
Allison started to stutter, breathing heavily. She died in Scott's arms, closing her eyes.
"Oh, my God," Ari whispered, crying even more.
Adriana pulled Ari into her arms. "No!"
Allison's gloved hand fell to the ground (slow motion).

Stacie was on the floor.
Stiles and Lydia sat next to her.
They were crying.
Stacie looked as if a part of her died with Allison, as she had been her anchor.
Stacie and Lydia cried harder, sobbing.
Stiles let a few more tears fall, holding Stacie and Lydia close to him.
¤°¤•¤°¤
Outside
Scott was still holding Allison, crying.
Isaac and Natalie slowly stood.
Natalie was trying not to cry, but she was failing that fight, putting a hand to her mouth in shock.
Ari and Adriana pulled away from their embrace, still crying.
Isaac and Natalie stepped closer.
"Adri..." Natalie trailed off painfully.
Ari and Adriana walked toward them.
Isaac pulled Ari into his arms, holding her to his chest.
Ari looked as if the only thing that was keeping her standing was Isaac, crying into his chest.
Natalie and Adriana embraced, crying.
Angel and Kira were shocked and devastated, pained by their pain, tears in their eyes, because even if they hadn't known Allison for as long as the others, she had still been their friend.
Tara walked through the gate, looking over the scene.
Chris stopped outside the gate door, looking at his dead daughter in the love of her life's arms.
Ari and Adriana saw them, pulling away from Isaac and Natalie, looking even more devastated.
Chris dropped his gun to the ground, walking past Tara toward Ari and Adriana, pulling them closer into an embrace, looking as if he was trying to comfort them and trying to find comfort for himself, devastated and in denial.
Everyone had lost her that day.
No one would be able to move on until this was all over.
Allison the huntress, the warrior, was gone.
