The redhead and her sister followed each other into the McCall's living room behind Aiden and Scott who had Stiles' limp body in their grasp. Sabrina came to the girl's side, placing a reassuring hand on her shoulder, knowing it was hard seeing him like this. Hurt and in pain. "The couch, put him on the couch." Aiden did as he said, placing him down without a sweat.

Lexie swallowed the lump in her throat as she squinted her eyes and stared at the unrecognisable boy before her. Then, Melissa announced her concerns, since it was her house and she definitely didn't feel comfortable with the situation, "Guys, this is crazy. He needs to be in the hospital."

"Mom, remember what happened last time he went to the hospital?" Scott reminded his mom, announcing the time he set one of the electrical wires loose, causing chaos to reign in the car park. Killing people and injuring Isaac. No one could forget it, just like the events at the Sheriff Station. 

Courageously, Deaton stepped forward, crouching in front of the boy and examining the slash in his shirt. "It doesn't look like he's bleeding. I think he might even be healing."

"You mean healing like we heal?" Sabrina questioned, wondering how the hell a fox spirit - or Stiles - would be able to heal rapidly and as efficiently as them.  

"That's good, right?" Lexie asked with some relief on her face, knowing that Stiles wasn't gonna be hurt for too long. But then she remembered he wasn't Stiles, he was Void now. And if the Nogitsune was still alive, it meant that chaos would continue in Beacon Hills.

"For him, yes. Us? I'm not so sure."

After a wild discussion about whether or not they were going to kill him - Aiden's idea - Lexie was the first to shut the possibility of it down. If they wanted to kill him, they would've done that already. "Well, if we're not going to kill him, why aren't we at least tying him down with really big chains?" he questioned, looking between all the worried faces, 

"I might have something more effective." Deaton opened up his briefcase, the sound of various bottles clinking together inside of it. He reached in and picked one out, raising it in the air to show us before nodding towards Stiles. Scott and Aiden volunteered to hold him down and the others watched warily as Deaton squeezed droplets of the liquid into Stiles' held-open mouth. 

Seconds after the liquid seeped into his throat, his eyes flung open and he gripped onto both Aiden's hand and his throat. Both of them choking each other as the rest watched in bewilderment. "Get him off me! Get him off me!" the werewolf yelled as Stiles just laughed, Sabrina managed to reach forward and pry the boy's hand off. Once Aiden flung backwards, falling into Lydia, they spotted Stiles' hand start to shake. 

Lexie already recognised what was going on, she remembered Stiles' body having the same effect in the mechanic's garage when he was paralyzed by Jackson. "Kanima venom. Nice touch." suddenly a deafening roar filled the air and they all turned to Aiden to see him flaunting his pearly white fangs, threatening the now paralyzed boy. "You know how they say that twins get a feeling when the other one's in pain? Scott and Sabrina have it. You didn't lose that talent, too, did you? Oh, I hope not. You're going to need it."

Aiden had been shut up by that little threat, even Scott and Sabrina felt tense at the mention of their names. The three werewolves shared a confused glance before Stiles sighed and slumped further against the couch, mainly because he no longer had a control over his body. "Okay, I'll give a little hint. Ethan's at the school."

Great, what else could possibly go wrong? Sabrina asked herself before turning to the worried twin, "Go." and like an obedient beta he listened and rushed off to the sound of an amused cackle escaping Stiles' lips, the fox inside of him feeding off of the strife and conflict in the air. "Oh, I hope he gets there in time. I like the twins. Short tempers. Homicidal compulsions." then he turned to Scott and Sabrina, eyeing the two of them before smirking at Sabrina. "Just like you."
