Who
Is
Stiles?

DEREK PLACED AMELIA ON THE EXAMINATION TABLE AS DEATON LOOKED AT HER.
"Her last words were to get her here to you," Derek told the veterinarian as he looked at Amelia, who looked pretty dead. "And her heart is still beating. Slowly, but beating. Do you know something we don't?"
Deaton exhaled. "As a matter of fact, I do," he replied before looking at Scott and Stiles. "Prepare the ice tub while I explain what we're going to do."
Scott and Stiles were quick to follow while Deaton looked at the rest.
"Amelia prevented her mother's betrayal of her deal," talked Deaton as he examined the arrow stabbed in Amelia's chest. "She knew her mother possessed Allison's Verbena, so she knew what she was capable of. Little did Gabriella know that the Verbena is not lethal."
Derek raised his eyebrows. "An arrow is pretty lethal!"
Deaton looked up, chuckling. "Amelia said the same thing."
Malia scoffed. "Can't blame her."
Deaton smiled before looking at the girl. "Right now... the verbena prevented the arrow from killing Amelia, and it's also preventing her from healing. That's why I appreciate you didn't take out the arrow until I see her."
Isaac exhaled. "Because she'll bleed to death."
"Exactly," affirmed Deaton. "Right now, Amelia is in the bridge of life and death, the only bit of her power left from the effects of the Verbena making sure her heart keeps beating. In this world her mind has created, which we will find out soon enough, her conscious is trying its best to make her give up. Probably placed her in a world where everything she's ever dreamed of is true. I don't know."
Derek frowned. "So... you want to get into her subconscious."
"And pulled her out. Just like she asked me to. Help me take off her jacket."
Derek proceeded to take off Amelia's jacket, trying not to stare at the arrow cross her chest.
"We have done this before. It's just like how we did with Isaac," told Deaton as Stiles and Scott moved the bathtub to the center of the room.
Derek looked at Deaton. "What do we do now?"

Amelia was walking outside of class when someone stopped her.
Stiles.
"Can I help you?" She asked him. "Are you going to ask me something else about my summer?"
He shook her head. "I actually want to show you something."
He guided her to the gym, holding on tight to her hand.
They both entered and as soon as they walked in, Amelia looked down to see the dress she was now wearing.
