Book 1
Not all love stories have happy endings.
"It's me, it's me Stiles...your best friend." Brooklyn's stepbrother Scott returns to live with them and from then, her whole world turns upside down. Her life is suddenly filled with werewolves and th...
Suddenly he stops struggling and opens his eyes as I gasp, "What just happened? Are you alright?"
"I'm fine."
He smiles as if nothing just happened but I don't believe him, I continue to scroll through the web. I catch his reflection on the laptop, he is staring at me so I look at him and I see this look on his face that I don't seem familiar with. He has this certain look in his eyes, somewhat appearing wicked and darker and he has never looked at me this way.
I don't know what to do, it's like his behaviour has suddenly changed. I'm so confused and I can't make sense of it. I stare at him in confusion, I feel like I don't know him anymore. He looks back at me and he has a slight smirk on his face. All I can think of is what's wrong with him? What has changed? I can't help but feel a bit scared now, I don't know what's going on. I feel a sudden chill in the air and I am particularly uneasy, my heart beats faster as my mind races with thoughts. I question myself why is he looking at me this way? I quickly break the gaze and continue to scroll through the web again. I turn around and look at him once again but this time his face is blank, like as if he never looked at me that way before. He smiles again but this time I can feel that it does not reach his eyes. I close the laptop and decide to go to bed, trying to push away the thought of what just happened. I get ready for bed and as I am about to turn off the lights I catch a glimpse of him, still sitting in the same position with that certain look in his eyes.
"Stiles?" He just smirks and tilts his head, "Stop it, you're creeping me out," I tell him backing away. He clutches my wrist and as I try to pull him off, he holds it tighter until I groan.
"Stiles what are you doing? This isn't funny let go."
He sees me in pain but has an innocent look on his face, he seems to be getting pleasure from this. I shove him off and run towards the door, reaching for the handle when he pulls me back. I fall to the ground before standing up and the lights start to flicker, he stands in front of the door and scoffs.
"Chaos has come again," he says with a deeper voice.
"What the fuck?"

I try and get past him but he is too strong so he grabs my arms and squeezes them tightly, his nails getting deeper into my skin. My arms are starting mt bleed and I scream, "Stop!" He covers my mouth while gripping my hair from the back.
"Brook?" I hear Allison call, walking towards the door, "Is everything alright, is Stiles in there with you?" I try and shout back but only muffled noises come out. The door slowly opens and Allison is there, "What's going on?"
I kick Stiles in the stomach and yell, "Scott!"
I know he would have heard me with his supernatural hearing abilities. Stiles pushes me forward and I nearly make it out of the door when he grabs my legs, pulling me back.
I hear the front door open, "Brooklyn?" Scott calls. He spots Allison, "Scott, here," she says. He rushes in and his eyes widen, "Stiles!"
Isaac and Liam are right behind him and he quickly pulls Stiles off of me, but he starts to fight back. Hitting him hard in his chest, Scott looks surprised since Stiles has never hurt him like that. He is normally weak but somehow he has gained strength.
Scott groans and shifts, tackling him to the ground but Stiles ends up on top of him. Isaac shifts and helps him, eventually Stiles stops moving and looks at me then at Scott. He sits on the couch still shaking while Malia and Liam check to see if I'm alright.
"Can someone explain what just happened?" Lydia asks.
"Did he have a panic attack and go crazy?" Scott asks.
"N-no he had no reason to have an attack, we were just on the laptop when his head started to hurt. He said he was fine after that then he grabbed me-" I start to sob, "I don't know what it was but, that wasn't the Stiles we know."
Stiles gets up and grabs my hand, "Are you ok?"
"Don't touch me!"
"W-what happened? Scott? Look, guys, I don't know what happened, but I swear I didn't mean to hurt her."

"Just stay away from me."
I back away and everyone takes a seat in the living room, Liam sits on Stiles' left and no one sits on his right. Probably because I normally do, Scott looks at me before going to do so. We all sit in silence as Stiles bites his nails while staring at the ground.
"He is right," says Kira, "It wasn't his fault... that person that just attacked Brook, that was Void Stiles."
I glance over at him and he was already looking at me but he quickly faces Scott,
"Is there something you're not telling me?" Scott asks, "Did you see the Nogitsune again?"
"Yeah, last night. I- I felt him go into me and... and I think he is in full control now." His eyes tear up.
"I'm sure we will find a way to end this," Isaac states.
"I think the best thing to do is to stay away from me since you won't know if it's the real me. To make sure you are all safe until we figure this out... if we figure it out," Stiles says.
"That's a good idea because see Stiles right there? That isn't our innocent friend anymore, that there is a demon," Kira says. Do I have to stay away from my best friend? For how long? I don't think I can avoid him for that long, I can't. I wonder how long he has been dealing with all this stress, has he been having trouble sleeping since I was in the hospital?
He doesn't deserve all these panic attacks and nightmares, none of us does. I look into his eyes, bloodshot red with eyebags, the fear building up inside of him. I'm used to seeing a bright boy that never fails to brighten the day with his jokes. I can't handle seeing him like this so I abruptly leave to another part of the apartment where I can't hear Stiles' whimpers.

Allison follows me, "Hey, are you ok?"
"No, I can't stand watching Stiles slowly lose himself and plus, I don't need anyone seeing me cry. I want to hug him but I just can't...I'm scared."
She hugs me and lifts up my arms, "Oh my god that's deep, I'll see if I can find a bandaid." She comes back shortly after and wipes the cuts with a wet cloth and places a bandaid on each. I thank her.
