An arm was around my waist and my arm was draped over Void's shoulder. He was supporting me, keeping me up beside him. My balance was off due to the wound in the middle of my torso, I hadn't been out of surgery very long, only a few hours. So if I were to sit or stand up, I needed support. I was sat on the steps beside the dark kitsune, two Oni's stood behind us. The former Alphas were prepared to fight the Oni...Derek, Aiden, and Ethan...

"Come on, they're busy." Void carefully pulled me to my feet before guiding me up the steps toward the school, his arm still around my waist and mine still over his shoulders.

"What was that?" I heard Aiden''s voice.

"Silver." Void's eyes widened and he was quick to swipe his other arm under my legs. I let out a small yelp.

"Void-"

"Shut it." I did so, staying quiet as he carried me into the school building.

Scott was thrown against some lockers and I kept myself up on some. The group of four turned around, finding Void Stiles. I sucked in a breath when he did the same to Kira.

"Void, you said you wouldn't-"

"I said I wouldn't kill him." He pointed to his look-a-like, to Stiles. Stiles' eyes fell onto me and my bloodied clothes. Void came back over to me with a deep breath, a smirk on his lips. His arm wrapped around my waist again, fully pulling me to my feet. At the sight of the Nogitsune, Lydia and Stiles took steps back. "This, this was my game." Void looked to the conscious pair. "Think you can beat me at my game?" He began taking steps towards them, gently tugging me with him.

"Void-"

"Divine move." He shook his head. "Divine move. You think you have any moves at all? You can kill the Oni. But me? Me?" He seemed angry, but in his next few words, he sounded full on pissed, his voice, identical to Stiles', dropped and grumbled as he shouted. "I'm a thousand years old! You can't kill me!!"

"But we can change you!" Lydia announced. Void looking to me, confused, and then back to Lydia once I had shrugged.

"What?"

"You forgot about the scroll." It was unnatural to see two Stiles', hear his voice from two different directions, in two different tones...

"The Shugendo scroll." Lydia explained. There was a moment of silence as Void realised.

"Change the host."

"You can't be a fox and a wolf." I shared a look with Void, still not quite aware as to what was going to happen. A hand gripped Void's shoulder, the one to which was connected to the arm around me.

"Get off my sister." Void's arm fell from my waist, causing me to bump against the wall as Scott sank his teeth into the fox's arm. The Nogitsune screamed, then being pierced by Kira's sword. He fell to his knees, a fly emerging from his mouth before being trapped in a wooden box, the one Derek had brought. I watched as he crumbled into a literal pile of smoke and dust.
In the dark corridor, I sank to the floor as Stiles collapsed to the floor.

After a few minutes, I was still sat against the wall, everyone surrounding Stiles. I smiled weakly when I heard his voice.

"Oh, god, I fainted, didn't I?" Everyone let out breathy laughs. "We're alive. We all alive?" There was silence.

"Yeah. We're okay." Scott spoke and I let my smile fall ever so slightly.

I felt my body fade an rematerialize a little further down the corridor.

"Aiden...?" I muttered, keeping myself up using the doorframe. I felt more blood seep into my clothes. It seems to be that whenever I use a ghost power, I bleed even more. I stumbled out of the building and over to a set of stairs, the one Void and I had been sat on. I stumbled again, almost taking tumble down them. "A-Aiden..?" He, Ethan, Derek, and Chris, looked over to me, the four now gathered together. I tried to run over, stumbling again a few time before sliding onto the floor beside the Omega. Ethan was rubbing his back as his brother cried, Derek keeping Aiden sat up straight. "Hey, Aide..." I felt tears fill my eyes, a black liquid spilling from his lips. His eyes travelled to me,

"Are you okay...? Y-you look hurt..." I shook my head with a smile, resting my forehead against the side of his head.

"I'll be fine, I promise." He nodded, forcing a smile for me. I whimpered, pressing a kiss to his temple. Ethan sobbed, knowing he was losing his only brother.

"Lydia never believed I was one of the god guys anyway...but you two always knew." Ethan and I shared a look, tears streaming down our cheeks. We nodded with forced smiles, Ethan chuckling.

"You guys brought me home and took care of me...You were always one of the good guys, okay?" He nodded, more black liquid spilling from his lips.

"We'll look out for each other." Aiden nodded as I quietly cried beside him, Ethan resting his head against his brother's, trying to calm Aiden with quiet shushes.

"Y-yeah...we'll be okay, Aide..." He nodded again, gently taking my hand in his as best as he could given how weak he was. I gripped his hand to let him know I was still here. "We're always going to be here." I felt Aiden's grip loosen ever so slightly, his breathing becoming quieter and calmer...until it just stopped...
Ethan began to cry harder, his brother's hand falling from mine as I began to cry harder too, sobs wracking through both of our bodies. The, now, remaining twin, lowered his brother's body to the floor to lay flat. My hands clutched Aiden's shirt in my fists. Every time I sobbed, I felt more blood pool from my wound, but I didn't care, not any more. Derek stood up beside me, a hand gently set on my head as a sort of comfort, gradually slipping from my head as I cried out, pain coursing through my body both emotionally and physically. I was loud, I knew I was, I had practically screamed, curling into myself, my head lightly touching Aiden's body.
