Cruel || The Banshee and the Beta ➼ TEEN WOLF

Chapter 43 - Oak Creek

"Hold still!" Sabrina whined as she stuck her claws down Isaac's throat. He was gagging from the water as she tried to locate the pesky fly that had been controlling him for the past however many hours. An hour or so ago, just when she was fighting off the three wild werewolves, and letting them slash her to bits, they just collapsed. Black blood oozing from their noses. 

After a quick call to everyone's favorite veterinarian, he was able to determine what was wrong and try help them. She had watched him rid one of the twins of the possessive fly first before she decided to help. Right now, in the locker room, they were becoming soaked by the ongoing showers, Isaac struggling under his grasp as she tried her best not to hurt him. "Isaac! Stop moving!" he groaned as a response until she dug her claws further and was able to latch onto something small. 

Pulling it out of his throat and dropping it to the floor, she turned her nose up in disgust before squishing the creature underneath her shoe and turning back to her best friend, who was choking and gasping for air. "You okay?" she asked with a smile, mainly because she hadn't had a proper conversation with him since just before he was hospitalised. Isaac coughed one last time before collapsing into the girl and pulling her into an embrace. 

Chuckling slightly, the girl squeezed him back before pulling him away from the showers so he could dry off. The sound of another werewolf choking behind them signalled that they were all finally themselves, no longer being controlled by the Nogitsune. Deaton turned the water off before stepping away so that everyone was huddled around, still slightly confused about recent events. 

Stiles was back. Lexie was gone. Yet again. 

"Are they okay now?" Allison asked placing a comforting hand on Isaac's shoulder, 

"I hope so. The part that's worrisome, is that this was most likely just a distraction for what was happening to Stiles."

Sabrina shook her head in bewilderment. How did this keep happening?  Beside her, the Kitsune rose a curious brow, "There's really two of them now? How's that even possible?" 

"And how did the other one just take Lexie?" Sabrina added, trying to understand how no one saw that happening. 

"We turned around and they were gone. So was Lydia's car."

The Alpha's brow furrowed, "Why Lydia's car?"

"Guess it was the closest thing to transportation he could get." the group all let out a collective sigh, it felt like the Nogitsune was repeating itself. It first tried to kill Lexie at the hospital, then it abducted her from Eichen House, and now...now he had taken her again.

Aiden cleared his throat, his brother still choking and gasping for air, "So no one notices him just kidnapping her right out of the house?"

"Most of us were concentrated on the bizarre sight of a creature, materializing from out of the floor." Deaton sassed back with a stubborn face, clearly he wasn't one to question. He was too wise to ever be wrong. 

"Hold on. How are you so sure which Stiles is which?"

"That's what they're trying to figure out now." the veterinarian cleared up, causing Kira to swallow the lump in her throat and turn to the Alpha who just rolled her eyes. 

"And I'm sure that's gonna end well."

"We have to stop them." she whispered, referencing the fact that her mom was probably going to use the Oni to see if Stiles was actually Stiles or not. But that could end very badly. The only thing she could picture was the sight of Stiles being stepped by dozens of katanas.

"I'm with you on that one, let's go." 

So with that, the Alpha took the lead, the worried kitsune following closely behind before they made their way back to the McCall household. The girls burst through the back door,immediately spotting Kira's mom dressed in her usual leather jacket, "Stop." the girl told her mother,
