When I arrived I get out the car. Leo and Cohen speed off. I stand in the parking lot. I take a few deep breaths in as I try my spell again.

As I stand there, calmly, I mumble the spell again under my breath. I shut my eyes as I continue the spell. I finally open my eyes to reveal a location that I was not really sure of.

I storm off into the station to see Melissa. Then Raf steps out.

"What are you doing here?" He looks at me then Melissa.

"My shift was over. I just wanted to see if I could help."

He turns towards me as Melissa acknowledged I was behind her. "I'm helping regardless." I let be known.

Scott's dad stands there. He nods as he motions for us to follow him. Melissa and I get into the car. Silence follows.

After a few short minutes of me spacing out I hear Melissa speak. "So, what are you saying?"

"I'm saying the real question might be. How do we know he's not still asleep?"

"You mean he's been asleep the whole time?"

"Well, people who sleepwalk can do crazy things. One guy goes down to the kitchen and cooks an entire meal. Another guy is found mowing his lawn naked."

I stare off having the most horrid look on my face. "Why does any of that matter?" I speak up.

"Remember that townhouse apartment we lived in?" Raf looks at Melissa. "There was that one night I came home drunk-"

Melissa cuts him off. "Oh, one night?" She says sarcastically.

I slump down in my seat trying to hide my laugh.

"Let me finish. So, I'm drunk, passed out on the bed. I get up to go to the bathroom. Then all of a sudden I hear you yelling 'what the hell are you doing?'"

"Because you were in the closet peeing into the laundry basket." Melissa laughs out.

"Yeah, I thought it was the bathroom."

"Oh, no, you were drunk off your ass."

"Yeah, but I was convinced it was the bathroom."

I look down at the map I was holding to see we were going in the same direction.

"So, how do we know, Stiles, isn't just convinced he's in some kind of basement? And isn't actually there."

"So, you think Stiles is crazy or something?" I spit out, glaring at Raf.

"I think when he called Scott, he was still asleep. And is still asleep right now."

"Then where is he?" Melissa questioned.

"I got an idea about that too."

It started to click in my head as we pulled to a stop. The coyote den. I look down at my map. It worked. My spell worked.

We get out of the car as I start to hear screaming. Stiles screaming. We all take off running in the direction it came from.

"Wait! Wait! Wait!" I hear a breaking voice scream as Raf pulls him out of the den. He tries to fight off Melissa and Raf.

I grabbed Stiles as I sit down trying to comfort him. I stroke his hair as I rub his back. "Sh, hey, it's okay. I'm here."

"Stiles, you're all right! Okay!" Melissa screams as Stiles is still screaming trying to fight us off.

Stiles turns around to see me as I smile softly. Tears streaming down my face. He looks forward to see Melissa as he starts to calm down.

"You're alright." Melissa repeats calmly. "Stiles you're alright."
