You Snooze, You Lose (Discontinued)

Chapter 16: Stiles P.O.V.

I just get down the stairs seeing the black screen of the TV and Scott still staring at it. To be honest it's creeping me out. 

I walk up to Scott and step in front of the TV and bend down to look him in the eyes and he's not even fazed. I brought a secret weapon to snap him out of it and if plan A doesn't work, I have a plan B that's full proof. 

I put the air horn right up against Scott's left ear and I speak to Scott "I'm gon. . . ." He shushes me immediately and goes back to his weird looking at the black screen even though I'm right here blocking it. 

I say one thing before pressing down activating the horn "Not Sorry Scotty!!" I plug my other ear with my free hand and when I open my eyes they go wide as Scott didn't even flinch and I go to plan B, then Plan C, and up till I got to Plan M for Melissa, Scott's mom. 

I call her and luckily for me she picks up. Melissa: 《hello? Stiles what is it?》I explain using the short version. 

Stiles: 《umm well as usual you know Scott spent the night and we watched a movie but now Scott's stuck in some weird trance and I won't be surprised if you get a call from the school telling you Scott was missing from class, speaking of, my dad is going to kill me this time. Anyway, so I'm thinking you might be able to get him unstuck and bring him back to reality. 》

It's quiet on the other line when. Melissa: 《I'll be right there. Is the anything I should know before I get there? 》

I realize I should mention the plans A-L that failed. Stiles: 《umm well I tried multiple different things to snap him out of it and none of them worked. I tried plan A-L before Plan M and you are Plan M, m for Melissa or mom aka Scott's mom. So, I think I should've had Deaton for Plan D, so I might call him for Plan N as in the last letter in his name. 》

I was about to hang up when. Melissa: 《call Deaton now we might as well have him in case the methods I try don't work and it seems you've tried almost everything so maybe an extra set of eyes, ears, hands and mind could help. See you soon Stiles in the meantime call Deaton. 

I was about to say something, but she hung up, so I called Deaton, and he says he'll be right there. So now instead of one plan in motion it's 2 at once. Let's hope this works.

It's been almost an hour since the calls. Deaton and Melissa show up ruffly the same time. I let them into the house and Melissa puts her hand up to her mouth in surprise and slight horror at seeing Scott and I unconsciously feed upon her feelings of worry, shock, and fear. 

Deaton on the other hand is as cool as a cucumber. I feel uneasy around Deaton so instead I give a sarcastic statement "So what are we going to do about Scott the true alpha vegetable?" 

Melissa turns around on her heel quickly and stares daggers into me. I look down stating "sorry, I'm just uncomfortable." I can feel Melissa's instant regret and how awful she feels. 

I'm having a hard time repressing the smirk trying to emerge, but I manage it. I'm enjoying every second of Melissa's fear, hurt and more, giving me even more power. 

No one knowing anything . . not even Scott. None of them know it's me who did this to Scott. I made him a cocoon illusion, where he is the only one affected by it and nothing can fix it other than me who can lift the illusion. But as if I'm doing that.

~~STILES~~

It's been a few hours since Melissa tried to snap Scott out of the trance, but no luck. It's now Deaton's turn to give it a go. 

He's tried a few things and now he speaks for the first time since they got here "Stiles help me with this." I know he's not asking so I ask "Umm alright. How do I help?" 

He motions me over and I'm a little hesitant, but I don't show it and I go over crouching near Deaton just to the side and slightly in front of him facing Deaton on the floor to the left of Scott when I suddenly get a tingling sensation and the hairs on the back of my neck and arms bristle straight up getting goosebumps. 

I instinctively put my hand up grabbing Deaton's arm as he has a needle which just barely falls short of piercing the skin and I ask him with a mock curious tone "Um, Deaton. Do you want to tell me why I have a Nee . . . . Needle at my throat?" 

Deaton unblinking tells me with a straight face "Because I was going to jab you with it." I look him directly in the eyes and I ask him "Why is that?" 

He continues to look at me and states, "I think you know" I pretend I don't and ask "What? Your serious?" 

He just nods and I show him that I'm offended by him even thinking that I then tell him "You have got to be kidding me, if I knew why you were going to jab me then why did I

 1: stop you and 2: ask why. Now answer that smart guy" still unblinking he answers "because you didn't want me to jab a needle full of Letharia Vulpina into you and you asked to drift suspicion off yourself. Now if you'll kindly remove your hand from my arm."

I don't move a muscle and I drop the act staring daggers into Deaton and I give him a warning full of hate and poison "Deaton, Deaton, Deaton. You know I can't do that. 

Now if you and Melissa do exactly as I tell you, I might consider letting Scott go or not and Scott dies from lack of food, exhaustion, thirst, or anything else that might happen while he sits there doing nothing but looking ahead at nothing but a black screen. It's your choice." 

I smirk at getting them right where I want them having them wrapped around my finger. It'll be helpful to have Melissa at my mercy, she'll be able to give me access to the critical patients so I can feed. Deaton on the other head is just a bonus.

As I wait for their response, I decide to have some fun and mess with Scott a little as I get hungry when I'm bored. As I begin to cause Scott to become distressed and uncomfortable Melissa tells me.
