Animagus

Chapter Forty-Eight: Insatiable

Scott called and told me everything that happened. I was angry that he didn't tell me earlier, so I could do something to help. But now that I think about my mother and my conversation from earlier, maybe giving up my powers would be a bad thing. I wouldn't be useful to my friends and that will be a problem. But I can do something now, and that's rescue Lydia, kill the Nogitsune and save Stiles because he isn't doing good.

~Scott's House~

Melissa passed a flashlight over Stiles' eyes as he laid in Scott's bed. He looked at her nervously, Melissa needed to take his pulse but was afraid to touch him, so Stiles offered his wrist to her.

"Well... Medically, you seem okay. You're definitely a real person..."

"Okay, so I'm real- but am I the real me?" Stiles asked but Melissa doesn't answer.

Scott walked in looking stressed, "Is she here?" Stiles asked.

"Yeah..." Scott said exchanging a look of distress with his mom.

"Guys we have to do this," Stiles said.

~Camp Oak Creek~

Lydia is sitting in the exact hallway where Noshiko exorcised the Nogitsune for the first time in the '40s. She began hearing the screams of the people who died.

"Can you hear them?" The Nogitsune asked. "It's louder than usual, isn't it? Well, that's because a lot of bad things happened down here," he smiled. "What are the voices telling you? Are they saying that Stiles is dying?" then in a sing-song voice he said, "He is, you know... He's dying."

Lydia shuffles down the long corridor, trying to get away from him. "Then what do you need me for? You think I can tell you something?" Lydia asked.

He laughed, "Oh, I know you can."

"I'm not telling you anything!"

The Nogitsune appeared behind her, "You won't have to- you'll be screaming." She took a breath and let out a scream.

~Argent's Apartment~

Derek goes to leave the apartment but grabs the elevator door before it closes. "You had a gun pointed at my head. You could've pulled the trigger. Why didn't you?"

Chris glances away, shaking his head before looking back up, "Because you're not my enemy anymore, Derek. And I'm not yours. Also, because you're important to someone who's important to me."

"How do you know Leia? Or any of the Moons?"

Chris smiled, "I met Leia when she was seven, she was outgoing, independent, fearless, and beautiful. When Peter stole her father's Alpha powers, she... she changed. She is more scared of what is going to happen than usual... but, when she is with you I see the little girl from back then. All I ask is you treat her right. She is like a daughter to me." Chris explained.

"I'd never hurt her. Did–did Kate and the others know about her?"

Chris shook his head, "No. Kate and Gerard would have killed her. The Moons are worth a lot of money if one is caught. Leia especially because she is the product of two mega Alphas, and now carrying her father's power along with her ice powers she is worth twice as much."

~Scotts House~

Stiles was lying on the couch, he began to have a panic attack. Scott ran over, "Hey! You okay?"
