~Stiles's bedroom.

Stiles is in his bedroom asleep. He tosses and turns and grips the sheets. He mumbles to himself. "No, no, no, no, don't let them in."

*Stiles's nightmare.*

Suddenly he finds himself, seemingly awake, trapped in a locker at school. As he stumbles into a classroom he sees the Nemeton growing out of the floor. As he reaches out to touch the Nemeton, thick vines shoot out of the stump and wrap around his hand.

He wakes, gasping for breath, back in his bedroom. "You okay? Stiles?" Sadie asks as she sits up next to him in bed. Stiles exhales," Yeah, I was just dreaming. It was weird. It was like a dream within a dream." He explains to her. She places a hand on his bicep and starts to rub his back to calm him down. "A nightmare?"Sadie asks. Stiles sighs,"Yeah"he says, he then looks over at Sadie. "Wait a second, Sadie. What are you doing here? I thought you weren't allowed to stay the night?"Stiles questioned. Stiles door creaks open, "Hang on."Stiles says and climbs out of bed. "Stiles, where are you going?"Sadie asks. "I'm just gonna close the door."He says to her. "Just come back to bed and sleep."She says. "No, no, I should close it."Stiles replies. "Don't worry about it."Sadie says as he reaches the door. "What if someone comes in? "He asks her. Sadie furrows her eyebrows, "Like who? Just come back to bed, Stiles."Sadie says. Stiles whispers, "No. But what if they get in?"He whispers. "What if who gets in? Stiles just leave it."She says as he reaches for the door. "Please. Stiles. Stiles come back to bed."Sadie says almost begging. Stiles ignores her and opens the door, "Stiles. Please. Don't, Stiles. Don't! Don't go in there, please, don't. Please, Stiles don't!"Sadie begs almost crying. Stiles enters anyway and finds himself outside and once again at the Nemeton. "It's a dream. This is just a dream."Stiles mutters to himself. "It's just a dream; get it out of your head, Stiles. You're dreaming, alright? So, wake up, Stiles."He says. "Wake up, Stiles. Wake up!"He screams...

He awakens in daylight in his room; his father sticks his head in the door," Hey, time to get up, kiddo. Get your butt to school."His dad says and then shuts his door.

"And you couldn't wake up?" Scott says to Stiles as they walk around school. "Nope, and it was beyond terrifying. You ever hear of sleep paralysis? "Stiles asks Scott. "Uh, no, do I want to? "He asks. "Have you ever had a dream where you feel like you're about to wake up but you can't move or talk? "Stiles questions. "Yeah. Yeah, I've had that."Scott says. "It happens because during REM sleep your body is basically paralyzed. It's called muscle atonia. That way if you start dreaming about running, you don't actually start running in your bed."Stiles informs him. "That makes sense."Scott says. "But sometimes your mind can wake up before your body does. So for this split second, you're actually aware that your body is paralyzed. And that's the terrifying part. It turns your dream into a nightmare. You can feel like you're falling, like you're being strangled, or, in my case, like you're at the center of a grove of magical trees where human sacrifices took place."Stiles says. "You think it means something?"Scott asks. " What if what we did that night, What if it's still affecting us?"Stiles asks Scott looking over at him. "Like Post-traumatic stress? Or something."Scott says. Stiles nods," But you want to know what scares me the most? I'm not even sure this is real."Stiles says...

*End of Stiles nightmare.*

Stiles wakes screaming in his bed. His dad rushes into his room,"Hey, hey, hey. It's okay. It's okay. You're okay."His dad says as he holds him and calms him down.

*Sadie's pov*

"But what if he hits me?"Isaac asked as I was slipping on my shoes. "You better hope all he does is hit you."I said to Isaac, he was worried that Scott was mad at him. Isaac sighed, "Listen Isaac, I know you have feelings for Allison, hell I bet a blind person could tell that. Scott's not going to like it but he will get over it. Now man up and go talk to him."I said to him as I grabbed my school back and ushered him out of my room. "Yeah, your right. Thanks Sadie."He said. "Oh, don't thank me yet."I muttered. "What?" he said. I smiled, "Nothing, good luck."I said and I patted his shoulder and headed downstairs to get away from the soon to be blood bath.
