As we were driving back to the station, we all got a call from Melissa that she and Rafeal had found Stiles in the woods. More specifically in Malias coyote den. I was relieved at the news. Apparently when he called Scott he was still sleeping, Rafeal made the connection and I am very much glad he did. We all headed to the hospital to check up on him. Unfortunately we couldn't see him because we weren't family. However we all waited outside of his room for Stilinski to tell us more about his condition.

When Stilinski finally came back we all stood up eager to hear about Stiles' condition. "He's sleeping now... And he's just fine." I exhaled in relief, resting my forehead against Scott's shoulder. I have been basically crying into his shoulder for hours. "He doesn't remember much. It's a bit like a dream to him."

Stilinski looked at Rafael. "Thank you."

"It was that repellent we sprayed in the coyote den to keep other animals out." Rafeal began to explain how he had found Stiles. "I couldn't go near it without my eyes watering. it's just a good thing he mentioned it over the phone."

"No, it was more than that." Stilinski said. "Thank you."

"It was a lucky connection."

"McCall, can you shut up please and accept my sincerest gratitude?" Stilinski said, exasperated by the FBI agent. Rafeal smiles. "Accepted." The two shake hands, probably for the first time since Rafeal came back to town.

"All right, you three." Mom and Melissa turned to us. "You've got school in less than six hours. Go home." They both ordered. "Go to sleep."

I nodded. After all this I really need some sleep. Scott and I hugged our parents before turning down the hallway with Lydia. Thank god they had found him, I have no idea what I would have done if we hadn't found him. "I don't know what happened." Lydia muttered to herself. "I was so sure."

Scott nods. "Yeah, I wasn't much help, either." Neither was I. "You got it wrong," I shrugged at Lydia. "Big whoop. You are still learning." I tried to get her not to feel the tremendous guilt that was practically erraitaing off her. "It doesn't matter, if he's okay." Lydia didn't seem so sure by the way she trained her eyes to the ground.

Lydia then paused and began to look around the hallway like if she was hearing something. "Lydia, do you hear something?" Scott and I asked her.

Lydia shakes her head. "No. I didn't hear anything."

Trying to focus through the school day while Stiles was stuck in a hospital was surprisingly hard. I barely got any sleep at all. Even with the raven having left. Yeah, the stubborn Raven that was sitting on my window sill had left. As soon as I saw it was gone I locked the windows tight. I had no idea what had gotten into that raven, but I was very thankful it was gone. Yet despite the fact it was gone, I still couldn't sleep.

"You okay?" I asked Lydia as I shut my locker. She'd been acting a little strange all day today, she looked like she wanted to scream. I understood the feeling well but it looked to be more than that.

"Yeah." Lydia flinches when someone across the hallway shuts their locker. It was almost like she had heard it on max volume. "I'm just a little hypersensitive to loud sounds today."

I nodded, I guess that made sense considering she was a banshee. "They're doing tests on Stiles all afternoon." I told her as I pulled out my phone and asked Derek why he had shown up at the school. I hadn't seen him or his car but I smelled him. I know it wasn't to visit Mom because she doesn't like it when he shows up here unannounced. "Scott and I were going to go over at around six o'clock to visit. You want to come with us?"
