Meilani stared up at the massive iron gates of Eichen house and frowned deeply, too many bad feelings swarming around in her stomach. Her hand was clutched into Stiles' pale one while the other hand gripped onto the strap of the tote bag that held her favorite pillow in it. She knew for a fact that both Noah and Stiles would have forgotten a pillow for Stiles to use while he was in Eichen House.

When Stiles had woken up the night prior after Deaton injected the needle into him, he was one hundred percent Stiles that time. She made Stiles punch her to make sure and he still had the weak hits that he had, unlike the strength that Void had when he gripped onto Meilani's shoulder. The serum apparently kept Void dormant and he couldn't break out and possess Stiles again. Explaining all that to Noah wasn't exactly the highlight of Meilani or Stiles' day, but they managed it.

Noah still wanted to drive down to Los Angeles in the morning to talk to a specialist since Stiles' brain looked exactly like Claudia's had when she was sick. Even with knowing about the Nogitsune, the Oni and Kitsune, he still wanted to go down and figure something out. Meilani wouldn't argue with him, though, because - much like his son - Noah was pretty stubborn. While Noah drove down, Stiles all but begged to be put in Eichen House for the seventy-two hours that Noah would be gone for.

"I really don't like this idea, Stiles," Meilani gulped audibly, the dark of the night only making Eichen that much more intimidating. She felt like she just stepped right into one of those psycho thriller films. 

Stiles stroked a thumb over his girlfriend's knuckles soothingly and he didn't even appear scared. She could still smell the guilt on him whenever he looked at her since he was awake the whole time Void did all the things he'd done the day before. Meilani had to all but pry Stiles off her when he really took her in and gripped onto for dear life. She lost count of how many times he'd said he was sorry through his tears. 

Sure, hurting everyone else around him was a huge weight on his chest that nearly suffocated him. However, the thing that placed that feather to officially make it feel like he was gasping for air was hurting his girlfriend. That was like having a limb torn off and enough to shatter his heart into a million pieces. He was the one person that wasn't supposed to hurt his girlfriend and here he was, trapped in his own mind, causing Meilani the most immense amount of pain she'd ever felt. He hated it.

"It's just seventy-two hours, baby," Stiles reminded, bringing her around so she was stood in front of him. "Just until my dad comes back from LA."

"I can't help you if you're in here, Sti. I mean . . . Deaton is working on stuff and even Chris is chipping in to help out. I can't get in there after we sign you in and that worries me," Meilani admitted, glancing up at Stiles through her eyelashes and she was just he couldn't hear how fast her heart was racing. "We can figure out a way to help you or if we can't . . . "

"If you can't, I need you to promise me something," Stiles whispered, tucking a piece of her hair behind her ear. His eyes scanned slowly along Meilani's face as if he were trying to commit it to memory, which he was. He needed to just think about her for the next three days while he was in Eichen to get him through it. "If you can't figure out how to help me, you have to make sure I never get out."

Meilani felt the world around her stop and her heart drop right to her feet, suddenly feeling extremely sick. Stiles wanted to stay locked up? He almost sounded like he didn't think they would find anything and would be stuck in this place for the rest of his life because he was possessed. She went to shake her head and argue with Stiles, but Noah had finally exited the car and told the two they needed to start heading in.

Stiles bent down and pressed a soft kiss to Meilani's forehead before he pulled her after him towards the taunting building. He squeezed her hand reassuringly when they stepped through the front doors.

Meilani felt a chill go down her spine as she remembered running through the massive space when they were looking for Stiles the first time. Only this time two other patients sat in the front area in their wheelchairs. Their heads were drooped down onto their chests and the looks in their eyes didn't necessarily make Meilani feel any better about her boyfriend being in here. She worried he'd be in trouble or danger if he stayed more than five minutes.

"Mr. Stilinski," a nurse greeted to their right. She was short, with dark skin and black hair. She had a warm and greeting smile on her face. Not that it made Meilani feel any better about leaving her boyfriend in here. "This way please."

The nurse lead them to her office which was decently sized with a brown desk in the corner and a couch against one wall that Meilani and Stiles sat on while Noah sat in the chairs before the nurse's desk. She passed Noah a clipboard with a form to fill out while she took the seat behind her desk, folding her hands together on top of it. "The first seventy-two hours there's no phone calls, no e-mails, no visitors. We will be taking you from here to a brief physical. In the morning you'll be assessed by a staff psychologist, speak to a social worker and attend group therapy. 

Noah scribbled his name at the end of the form and placed it on the desk, shaking his head as he looked lost in thought. "I feel like we're forgetting something."

The nurse placed a pair slippers that were an ugly shade of yellow on top of the form that Noah just filled out, motioning for Stiles to take them. "You will be wearing these, Stiles. No laces allowed. You don't have a belt, do you?" She asked and nodded softly when Stiles shook his head no. Belts were something that Stiles usually never wore because he said they made him feel uncomfortable and restrained.

How ironic now that he was checking himself into a psychiatric ward and would be two steps away from being restrained. Meilani wasn't bitter, not in the least bit.

Maybe.

"And please empty your pockets in here," the nurse instructed and Stiles instantly went to work removing his shoes and anything that rested in the pockets of his khakis which wasn't much.

"Your pillow. We forgot your pillow. How did we forget your pillow?"

Meilani smiled and held up the tote bag in her hand, shooting both of the Stilinski boys a look. She knew these two way too well sometimes and it scared her. "That's why I brought you one from my house when you picked me up. I swear, you'd both lose your heads without me."

Noah let out a snort at Meilani's comment and didn't make a move to argue with her because he knew she was right. He owed a lot to Meilani because she'd always been there for the two Stilinski boys, especially when Claudia had fallen sick. Meilani had been at the hospital with Stiles when she passed away and she held him in her tiny eight year old lap as he cried himself to sleep while they waited for Noah to arrive from work. All while dealing with her own pain of Rafe walking out.

Meilani McCall was a warrior and a treasure and Noah couldn't have been more grateful for her. He didn't think Stiles could have found a better best friend turned girlfriend than her. 

Meilani pulled out the small white pillow that had been a gift from Stiles. It was just big enough to be comfortable and had a pillow cover of a pink and purple unicorn head, Meilani's name printed below it in a pretty cursive in a purple and pink gradient to match the unicorn. It had been a gift from Stiles during her tenth birthday and kept it on her bed ever since. Inside the pillow case was a stick of photos from their first ever photo booth together on their first date three years ago. It was a pillow that Meilani never slept without, but she figured the pillow would bring Stiles comfort while he was inside this crazy house.

Stiles gingerly took the pillow from his girlfriend and smiled softly down at the pillow, running his fingers gently along her name. His heart swelled at the obvious thought Meilani always put in whenever it came to him. The pillow even still smelt like her and he knew for a fact that Meilani had slept it with the night before because the smell was still pretty strong. Almost like it was ingrained into the pillow for the rest of their lives.

As if the boy wasn't already immensely in love with her, she had to go and do stuff like this that made him love her just that much more. Man, he wished he got out of this because he'd be damned if he never got to marry this girl.

The sounds seemed to echo around Meilani as nurses kept swiping their key cards or closing doors shut. She could even pick up on the echoing sounds of the patient's screams and she tried to hard to ignore all of these. If she didn't, she'd haul Stiles up by the hood of his zip up hoodie and bring him right back home. 

Stiles slid his feet into his slippers and pushed himself up to his feet. He walked over to his dad first and hugged him tightly goodbye, the duo patting each other's backs as they gripped on to each other. It was obvious by the grimace on Noah's face that he didn't like leaving Stiles there as much as Meilani did. The two swayed side to side for a moment before they slowly pulled apart so Stiles could say goodbye to Meilani.

Meilani tried to small the best she could at him as he waddled over with her pillow clutched between his thighs. She knew he was doing it to make her feel better and get at least one laugh out of her, but it was hard when she knew what was about to happen. He removed the pillow from between his thighs and placed it gently on the chair next to him for a moment so he could properly say his goodbyes.

Stiles wrapped his arms around Meilani's waist and brought her flush against him, bringing one hand up to cup the side of her face. He broke the small space between them and pressed his lips to her. They stayed like that for a long minute, their lips moving against each other as they enjoyed their last moment together for the next few days. A whine had left Meilani's lips when Stiles slowly pulled away. He stared down at her with that same soft and loving look that made her heart swell so big she was surprised it didn't push out of her chest.

"Remember I love you, okay?" Stiles whispered to Meilani, his thumb stroking gently over the skin of her cheek. "You're the prettiest girl in the world and I love you."

Meilani giggled to herself and played with the hair at the nape of Stiles' neck. "You're not in trouble, babe. Why are you saying that?"

"Because it's the truth," was Stiles' instant response and he placed one more kiss on her lips before he reluctantly pulled himself away from the one girl that kept him sane. "Just remember that, okay?"

Meilani nodded and leant up to place a soft kiss to Stiles' cheek, trying to smile the best he could when he squeezed her side gently. She stepped next to Noah when the nurse gently told Stiles it was time to go and the two watched him walk away from them, prominent frowns on their faces.

⏤⏤⏤⏤╗❀╔⏤⏤⏤⏤

After Noah and Meilani had left Eichen House, he had dropped Meilani off at the animal clinic like she had asked so she could meet with Scott and Allison to talk to Deaton. He had more information and said he'd be calling Chris in a few minutes to discuss what they both had so far regarding Stiles and Void. He had hugged her extra tight before she got out of the car and thanked her over and over. Even tried to convince her that Stiles would be okay and he'd be out in a few days when he got back. 

When Meilani had stepped into the clinic, she could already hear Chris' voice through the speaker of Deaton's phone. Scott and Allison were stood before Deaton's desk with their arms rested on the top of the small counter that was connected to the front of the desk.

"Did you have any trouble with Ikeda?"

"Only minor. The white wolf was exactly where you said it would be, but we have two problems now. First, the lichen is not a cure. It will wear off in a matter of days," Deaton warned not only Chris, but the three teens stood before him. 

One look at Meilani's face and you could see the increasing fear and anxiety on her face. It didn't help that her main anchor was miles across town in a psychiatric ward and wasn't there to keep her emotions in check. She felt Scott's hand slide into hers and she could her control come back the slightest bit. At least she wouldn't be going full alpha on anyone tonight.

"While it does work, the Oni won't go after Stiles, right?"

"I hope. Eichen House has an unusual history," Deaton replied, folding his hands together on the desk and shooting Meilani an apologetic look. "It might not be all that safe for the Oni there as well."

A long sigh was heard on the other end and Meilani could just picture the Argent man massing the bridge of his nose out of stress. "What's the second problem, Deaton?"

"I checked with your contact in Japan. The Yakuza boss you saw killed by the Oni never found the scroll."

"What scroll?" Scott asked, running his thumb absentmindedly over Meilani's hand since it was an action that usually calmed Meilani down. He had done it so often that at one point, it just became like second nature to do it the second her hand was in his. He didn't even have to think about it anymore.

"A Shugendo Scroll. The Shugendo were the ascetic mystics of Japan."

"The scroll had information on how to exorcise a Nogitsune."

Meilani sighed and ran a hand through her hair, having a bad feeling that this scroll wouldn't exactly be the easiest thing in the world to find. She was also emotionally and mentally exhausted so she wasn't up to her usual alpha-ness ( as Stiles liked to call it ) and just needed about a year's worth of sleep. "So we need to find that scroll and then we can save Stiles?"

"Exactly and I did get the name of the man who last purchased it," Deaton answered, spurring some hope inside of Meilani's chest. She tried not to let it take over because she didn't want to get too hopeful and then the plan fall through. That tended to happen way too often now for her liking. "Kincaid."

Allison's eyes let up with recognition and she leant forward a bit more so her father could hear her properly. "He was with Katashi. He's the guy who met with Isaac to buy the gun."

"Sounds like Katashi wanted the scroll for himself," Deaton noted.

"But Stilinski already told me that nothing of the sort was found among his things. A paranoid Katashi would keep it close. Probably on him at all times."

Allison furrowed her eyebrows as she went into deep thought for a moment. "Dad, what does a Shugendo Scroll look like?"

Deaton pushed back from the desk an dug around in the small filing cabinet behind him for a moment. He pulled out a thick scroll that looked yellowed in age and a small rope tied around to keep it from unrolling. "Something like this."

Allison took the scroll from Deaton and inspected the item, her mind visibly racing now. "Deaton, do these come in different sizes?"

"Yeah, any size. Why?"

"Then I think I might know where it is."

The next morning, Meilani and Scott had arrived at the Argent's apartment with Ethan and Aiden in tow. The twins had been more excited when Meilani called them up to help out with their current situation. She wasn't going to tell them that it didn't mean they would be in her pack, but it was nice to have Ethan and Aiden on their side. Especially right now when Meilani needed all the supernatural help she could get.

The only reason Scott was even remotely allowed near any of this was because Stiles was his best friend, too. They had both slept in Scott's bed the night before since neither one could really sleep properly. In between their streams of unconsciousness, the twins just laid on their backs on Scott's bed and talked, distracting each other from the loudly ticking bomb that waved over their heads. The serum only lasted a few days before Void could try to take over Stiles and that meant that every second counted.

"My father said all of the Katashi evidence is being moved to a federal lockup by armored car tonight," Allison explained to the four, motioning for Aiden to the shut the apartment door behind him. "Probably within the next few hours."

Meilani grinned at the sight of Lydia, walking over and wrapping her arms around the strawberry blonde. Lydia smiled softly at the McCall girl and let her hold onto Lydia, wanting the comfort of someone who wasn't constantly around her.

"Wait, we're going to rob an armored car?" Ethan balked and his eyes snapped over to Allison in shock as Meilani and Lydia pulled away from each other.

Lydia lifted a shoulder in a half shrug and glanced around the small group in the small hallway of Argent's apartment. "Well, we are definitely going to try."

⏤⏤⏤⏤╗❀╔⏤⏤⏤⏤

"This is such a bad plan," Meilani whined, pressing her forehead to Allison's shoulder who stood with her behind Chris' desk. Lydia and Aiden stood to the side of the desk while Scott and Ethan had both slouched in the two seats before Chris' desk, heads in their hands as their heads throbbed. It was no secret that all the teens in the room were beyond stressed. 

"It's not that bad," Lydia countered.

"It's not that good either," Aiden argued, earning a look from the strawberry blonde.

"None of us know the route they are going to take. If Allison can get one of her dad's GPS trackers on the armored car, then we can follow it."

Allison pointed a road on the map that was opened up on the map with two black lines drawn on either side of it. "So when the car gets here . . ."

"We attack them?" Ethan finished, finally pulling his head out from his hands.

Lydia smiled mischievously and turned to Ethan behind her, leaning her hands on the desk. "No. Your bikes will be in the middle of the road, looking like you guys got into an accident. When the driver gets out to help . . ."

"We attack him."

"No!" Lydia yelled the same time as Allison, both girls sounding incredibly frustrated with him at that point. "You'll distract him and Meilani will break open the back door."

Meilani nodded and tilted her head from side to side, not knowing how well she could get a full sealed door off the back of the car. "I mean . . . I hope."

Lydia ignored her best friend and turned to Aiden with an innocent smile. "And you'll get Katashi's finger."

Aiden grimaced and crossed his arms across his chest, almost closing in on himself at the thought. "It's not his actual finger,  is it?"

"You are so out of our league."

"Why aren't we just going to Stilinski for help?" Aiden asked, turning to Meilani who looked like she would do anything before asking Noah to help with this. They couldn't drag him into this, not when he was Sheriff. Not when he was half way across the state in Los Angeles.

"Because if he gets caught, then it's the Sheriff tampering with federal evidence. Plus, he's not even here if we even wanted to go to him for help," Scott explained, but not not saying anything more since it wasn't any of Aiden's business where Noah had gone.

"Guys, this is going to work. We can do this," Allison piped up, trying to keep the air positive. They needed all the positivity and if they were going to really make this plan work. It was risky, but Stiles worth the risk to everyone in the room. Well, at least to the three girls and Scott . . . they weren't so sure about Aiden and Ethan. "We're losing Stiles. My dad and Derek are in jail for murder. We need to do this. For all of them."

⏤⏤⏤⏤╗❀╔⏤⏤⏤⏤

The group had all split up to go back to their respective homes until it was time to meet up to break into the car. They still had a few hours and Meilani was starting to feel the exhaustion, going so far as to pass out on the couch for two hours with her head in Scott's lap while he watched TV. Both Melissa and Rafe were at work so they didn't have to worry too much about having to make up an excuse on where they were going. 

Melissa knew about the supernatural but she would still yell at Scott and Meilani for breaking into an evidence car. As if that was the worst thing they had ever done. If anything, it was the least chaotic thing any of them had done since Meilani had turned.

As the twins were about to leave to meet up with the girls, Ethan and Aiden, they froze in the side door to see Kira stood there with a timid, almost nervous smile. 

"Kira, what are you doing here?" Scott asked, letting the girl into the dark house and closing the door back up for a minute so they could talk.

"I want to help."

"Kira, I don't think that's such a good idea," Meilani said, feeling bad for even having to say it. Her mother had been the ones to send the Oni to the animal clinic and Meilani knew it wasn't Kira's fault. However, she also didn't want her to get in trouble with what they were about to do or have her mom know what they were doing.

Kira chewed on her lower lip and turned to face the twins after stepping into the living room. "Because of my mom?"

Scott shook his head and Meilani knew he felt the same way as she did about the whole thing. He liked her a lot and he didn't want to see the girl get hurt, either. "No, we know that wasn't your fault."

"Yeah, but it still feels like it is. If I can help, shouldn't I do so?"

"People who usually help us tend to get hurt. Badly," Meilani informed, not wanting this poor girl to get in their never ending bad luck trap. 

"Okay, but I've been practicing," Kira grinned and removed her backpack from her back and began to dig through it. "I've been picking this up really fast. Like crazy fast." She withdrew the knife and Meilani had to dodge back so she wouldn't get sliced in the cheek, the unsheathing sound echoing through the empty house. 

"Do you mean nearly chopping alpha's heads off?" Meilani breathed, eyes blown wide as her heart raced in the chest. She didn't think she'd ever look at a sword the same way again after the other night. 

Kira laughed nervously and gave the McCall female a sheepish smile. "Sorry, Mei. Just watch, okay?"

Meilani and Scott's eyebrows rose impressed as they watched Kira swing and twirl the sword in her hand around effortlessly. Her raven, curly hair twirled around behind her as she spun around the living room and landed in a stance with her palm facing the twins and the hand that held sword held high behind her in a threatening way. 

"Okay, you're coming."

⏤⏤⏤⏤╗❀╔⏤⏤⏤⏤

Everyone was shocked to see Kira arrive with both Meilani and Scott and Meilani was just glad her alpha status gave her more stamina. It allowed her to run next to Scott's bike the whole way to the sheriff's station so this way Kira wouldn't wear herself out. After the McCall twins had explained everything to the group, they didn't even bat an eyelash and agreed to let Kira help. They really and truly needed any extra hands they could get.

Meilani stayed crouched between two squad cars with Scott and Allison while Kira ran up to the big car that held all of the evidence inside of it and placed the GPS tracker underneath the car. Though, much to their usual run with bad luck, Parrish had walked out just as Kira was about to run back over to the trio. Parrish must have seen something in the car because he instantly whipped out his gun and began to slowly scan the area for any enemies that lingered nearby.

Parrish stopped just before the backdoors to the car that lead all to the evidence when a dark figure hopped out of the back of it and knocked out Parrish by slamming something into the back of his head.

"Who the hell is that?" Meilani asked in horror, that being the last thing Meilani ever expected to happen. 

"Kincaid."

Meilani mumbled a slew of curses under her breath and pushed herself to her full height, walking over to Kincaid as he searched through the car and pulled out Katashi's silver finger. "We need that finger, you know."

Kincaid, a tan skinned and bald headed male, flickered his gaze over to Allison who held up her automatic crossbow up at him in warning. He laughed in amusement as if he found it funny a bunch of teenagers were trying to scare him. "Why should I give it to you?"

"There is a briefcase in there with a hundred and fifty thousand dollars in it," Allison informed.

"The scroll inside this prosthetic finger is worth three million," Kincaid countered, placing said finger inside the top pocket on his leather jacket.

Meilani took a threatening step closer to the man, her usual bright eyes now dark with warning. She wouldn't hesitate to go alpha on this man if it meant saving her boyfriend from his very rapidly approaching doom. "Give me the finger if you know what's good for you."

Kira had suddenly leapt down from the top of the car - none of the three teens ever seeing her climb up there in the first place - and landed on Kincaid's back, trying to fight him for the finger in his pocket. He effortlessly flipped Kira over onto her back on the puddle ridden parking lot below, still wet from the slight rain that had taken over Beacon Hills a few hours ago. He dropped down to one knee and his eyes flashed a bright blue, his werewolf canines growing out.

Great.

"I guess negotiations are over," Kincaid snapped at the teens, growling deeply in his throat at them.

Allison tried to shoot an arrow at Kincaid, but the man stood up and quickly caught the arrow before it could pierce through him and threw it to the ground. He grabbed Kira's fist that came for his face and grabbed her by throat with the other hand, growling in her face. He lifted her into the air and threw her into the brick wall next to them. He knocked Allison and Scott into the adjacent wall next and Meilani had officially lost her control.

Meilani let out a dark growl as her body instantly shifted, her red alpha eyes glowing dangerously. She rushed at Kincaid and swiped at his face with her claws before she sucker punched him in the stomach. When she went to throw punches at his face, Kincaid had caught both of Meilani's arms and pushed them down harshly, earning a small yelp from Meilani. Kincaid used the leverage to slam his head forward right into Meilani's

Meilani felt the space around her spin harshly as she stumbled back from the man. She closed her eyes and shook her head to try and rid the dizzy spell that took over her at the impact. She quickly recovered and rushed at Kincaid, swiping her arm again to punch him in the face. Kincaid sidestepped her and hit her back twice, causing her to fall to the pavement below. He grunted as he reared his foot back and kicked Meilani in the side, causing her to flip over onto her back.

Kincaid slowly lowered to squat before Meilani as she gasped and groaned at the hot pain in her side. "You have the eyes of an alpha, but where's the strength?"

"Up here!" Aiden called, earning Kincaid's attention as he and Ethan both bared their canines at him.

Meilani barely even saw the two boys leap down from where they were above as she rolled onto her stomach, trying to catch the breath that was knocked out of her. She could hear the fists being thrown and the bodies colliding with the pavement as her body slowly shifted back to normal. It wasn't until Kincaid was tossed to the ground next to her, that her eyes snapped open and heard the sound of Lydia yelling at the twins to stop. She must have arrived when the boys had.

"Ethan, Aiden . . . stop!" Meilani wheezed slightly, her breathing slowly coming back to normal.

"You want him to come after us?" Ethan snapped at Meilani who slowly pushed herself up to sit on her butt. "Meilani, we've seen guys like this. Trust us. He's dangerous."

"So are we," Meilani reminded them, shakily pushing herself to her feet and winced slightly at the bruise like feeling in her side that was slowly healing. "And he looks smart enough to remember that." She stepped forward and snatched the finger out of Kincaid's top pocket and shook out the finger to retrieve the tiny scroll that now rested in her palm. 

Meilani's eyes trailed around her friends and brother, smiling in triumph that they had actually done something right. Everyone shared the same relief filled smiles as they all looked to the tiny scroll in Meilani's hand. 

"We're here to save a life. Not end one."

⏤⏤⏤⏤╗❀╔⏤⏤⏤⏤

Meilani and Scott had headed off to the animal clinic with Allison promising she'd get Kira home safely after she dropped off Lydia. Scott didn't know how he felt about his ex-girlfriend driving the girl he now clearly liked, but he also knew how important getting this scroll back to Deaton was and didn't even argue it. The twins had been on the back of the bike and at the animal clinic in ten minutes flat and had all but rushed Deaton who was in the main examination room, having him read over the scroll.

Meilani had chewed her thumbnail the whole time Deaton's eyes scanned the tiny scroll and bounced nervously on the balls of her feet. She just wanted to get to Stiles before their time ran out and they'd have to face the Oni and possibly the Nogitsune.

"There's not much here," Deaton announced, his eyes still scanning the scroll.

"Does it say anything?" Meilani questioned, not being able to stop her nervous fidgeting. God, now she knew how Stiles felt on a daily basis.

"My Japanese isn't that great, but it appears to say that one method of expelling a Nogitsune is to change the body of the host. Which begs the question, how do we change Stiles' body?"

Meilani's arms fell limp at her side as her whole body filled with intense dread. She knew exactly what Deaton was hinting at and knew why he didn't want to say it. The McCall female didn't even want to say it out loud because that would mean putting it out into the universe. Something that Meilani never wanted to do to Scott or Stiles. Hell, she didn't want it happening to anyone ever because she knew how much this life sucked.

"By turning him into a werewolf."
