From Demigods to Werewolves

Chapter 38: Atlantia

As much as I wanted to think like Derek and think of Stiles as someone who is not a dangerous person, I know when evil spirits can hide in plain sight. I remember times back when I fought alongside the demigods, evil spirits called Eidolons possessed many members of my family which led to me almost killing people I loved.

With that memory playing through my mind, I decided to follow my instincts which is why I felt uneasy a couple of days later when Stiles had to go to the hospital after going missing. He had apparently wandered off in some sleepwalking state with no memories of how he got there. It reminded me so much of those Eidolons and what had happened to my family so it was pushing me fully to believe that Stiles was the Nogitsune.

His father, on the other hand, was worried that it could be something non-supernatural as he didn't completely believe in the supernatural which is why Stiles was going to the hospital. It wasn't completely unplausible that Stiles could be acting weirdly because of a regular human illness as he is completely human and his history does point to this option. However, under the circumstances, I think the idea of him being possessed is entirely plausible.

Anyway, I have been at my house since that day that Scott and Kira were attacked in his home by the Oni. I could have cared less about school at this point especially with something attacking everyone for some unknown reason. For the entire day that Stiles was missing, I did research that yielded absolutely nothing which led to me deciding the next day to meditate and try to see what was going on with Stiles. Don't ask me why this never occurred to me to do it sooner but I finally thought to use a power that is absolutely useful. 

Sitting in my living room, I let my eyes fall shut as I focus on shifting through the webs that were the many paths for the future, searching for that one door. To my surprise, the door leading to Stiles's future was split down the middle like someone was sharing his future. Pushing gently on the door, it swings open with a loud creek, and I stare into a hospital's crowded hallway. Doctors, and nurses alike were rushing around like an emergency just happened.

Confused, I step through the door and look around the hallway as medical personnel run by and through me as I technically wasn't there. Something attracts my attention from one of the patient's rooms so I make my way over there. To my horror, I see Isaac laying in the bed unconscious. I gasp in shock and wanted to rush toward him but something from outside pulled me toward the window. Looking outside, I saw people running for their lives away from the hospital.

"You are different than the others." A deep gruff voice says from behind me. I turn quickly and see some man wrapped like a deranged mummy standing there. "The powers you control..." He eyes me but it feels like he was looking at more than my physical form, "...are beautiful. The pain they inflict on others, is just beautiful."

"I don't cause others pain because I enjoy it." I say looking at the Nogistune, "I do it to protect those I love."

"And do you enjoy inflicting pain on those that deserve it?" The Nogistune asks me. I don't give him the joy of hearing my response but that alone was a response and he knew that. 

Just then something dawned on me. I turned toward the Nogistune, "Why can you see me in this vision? I am walking in the future as a viewer. No one should be able to see me."

"Perhaps this is not the future. Perhaps this is a meeting place." He replied making me look out the window again. It shocked me when I didn't even see the hospital parking lot but instead it looked like some sort of prison camp. It was then that I realized that I was being tricked.

Turning slowly around to face this monster, I was surprised to see him right in front of me. I leaned against the window to try to put some distance between us but obviously it didn't do much.
