The whole room is silent when there is a sudden movement in the pile. A hand shows itself from the top which causes everyone to jerk back. The arm extends until Stiles' hand shows, then his body. "Is that a clone of Stiles?" Allison asks.

"No, that is the real Stiles," Melissa replies and points to where Void once was, "That is Void!" He is gone. "Where is he?" Chris asks as he looks around but he is nowhere to be seen. Scott and Lydia turn their attention back to Stiles who is shuddering in fear and pure confusion unable to speak nor move. His dad comforts him, "It's all right son...you're safe now," he assures him.

"He might be, for now. Void is still out there and he could be tormenting someone else for all we know," Isaac says.

Brooklyn wakes up and she sits up, her mom telling her not to move for a while because of her injury. 

After making sure that Stiles is aware of his surroundings and knowing that he is awake, in the real reality, he takes a shower. She offers him some food before his dad drives him home to rest. The others leave with him as Scott's father arrives home. Melissa explains the situation to him when brooklyn limps into the room. "Brook, I told you not to move, you can barely work," Melissa tells her. She groans and clenches her stomach but asks, "Stiles, is-is he okay?"

"Yes, honey, you saved him." 

"I am going to go check on him."

"I don't think that's a good idea Brookl-," Scott says.

"Oh, I think it's a great idea!"

"He needs to be alone right now, and plus he is probably asleep," says Scott's father. She ties her sneakers and leaves through the front door ignoring them. She walks out right into the rain that looks like it is about to get way worse so she tries to move faster towards Stiles' house. She doesn't find his or his dad's car so she decides to check the sheriff station. She walks in to find his dad, she wants to talk to Stiles because she hadn't known what he had gone through before. "Hey, Mr Stilinski? Where is Stiles?"

"He just left from the back way."

She exits and calls out to him over the sound of the wind before he goes in his jeep. He shuts the door and turns around, "Brook? Why are you here, it's very late you shouldn't be here alone."

"I just wanted to make sure you are okay. I um, I saw your memories of us, and of when I was in my coma. You went through hell. Why didn't you tell me? A-are you able to sleep now or are you going back to that mental hospital?"

"Who told you about that?"

"Malia did. You can talk to me, you know that right?" She grabs his hand, "I can help yo-" but he lets go of her hand and sighs. "I wish you could. There is probably no way to stop all this unless I'm dead, maybe I should wait to get possessed then kill myself. I don't want to hurt anyone else, I nearly killed you twice!"

"But you didn't! Stiles, we can figure this out-"

"No, see this is exactly the problem... there is no 'we', not anymore."

She steps back, "What do you mean?"

She steps back, "What do you mean?"

"I should have said this a long time ago but I can't be with you anymore. You should avoid me completely."

"You're scared of putting me in danger, but I don't want to-"

"I'm sorry but you don't have a choice!" He shouts this and she gasps. He doesn't want to do this but it is the only way of keeping her as far as possible from Void's reach. So instead of asking her in a loving, calm way, he is telling her in a forceful and angry way. Releasing a side of him that she has never seen before. He had never raised his voice at her in a serious way before, and so she realised that he is very serious this time. 

Her mind races with thoughts and questions but her emotions take over, causing her eyes to wet. A tear falls down her face as she stares at Stiles, he tries not to make eye contact as he feels pity. He wants to hug her and apologize but knowing it would only make this harder, stops him.

"We are going to have to cut off all contact and we can't be seen with each other. By doing this, it will not make you a target for the Nogitsune. Since he can see who I spend time with and care about most-"

"Why are you acting like this?" Her heart shatters at the thought of him abandoning her right after she risked her life for him.

"Well you are going to have to get used to it, you need to learn to forget about me. I need you to go live your life without me ruining it."

"Then promise me."

"Promise you what?"

"Promise me that if I stay away, you will solve this and go back to your old happy self."

"I can't promise you anything," he looks down, not realising the bloodstain on her clothes "I think you should call your mom to pick you up." 

She looks up at him then turns around to walk away. It takes everything he has to not call her back or run after her. He sits in his jeep trying to start it but it won't turn on so he gets his toolbox from the trunk and tries to find the problem. 

He grabs his screwdriver but can't find anything wrong with it so he stops. Looking at the engine he realises that he has no idea what he is doing, and normally when his jeep shuts down, he would hear Liam laughing at him from the inside. But he isn't there. Noone is. Liam is gone, his best friend is gone, his mom is gone. His mental stability is gone. He lets his anger take over and gets overwhelmed causing him to throw the tool at the jeep. "Fuck!" He shouts.

 "Fuck!" He shouts
