Foresight

Chapter 92: 6-5

"Stiles take a breath" Scott said slowly getting up. "Calm down? You want me to calm down!? Well too fuckin bad cause I can't! The more time that passes I'm being forgotten. Grandpa remembered me for like a moment and that too went up. My jeep was in the lot from like the night I disappeared and no one is able to se it. And soon you guys would forget me and everything would settle down and I'd be lost forever!" Stiles screamed, panting hard. "Stiles" Lydia whispered and pulled him back down, his parents at a loss at what to say to their son, "we will do everything we can and then more to get you back. We will never forget you. I will never forget you" she whispered and hugged the boy tightly as he slumped against her. "I don't want to be forgotten" he said in a broken voice, "I don't want to lose everyone. I don't want to lose you" he said in a whisper.

After Stiles had calmed down considerably, and everyone sat back down the show resumed.

Stiles Stilinski sits with dozens of other people in what appears to be a rundown train station. The people are silent and seem distracted. Stiles realizes that the keys to his Jeep are in his hand. He speaks to Doctor Sandra Hugo. He says, "Where are we?" She says they're at train station 137 but doesn't seem to remember how long she's been there or much anything else including why she's still wearing her scrubs from work. A businessman sitting next to her reading a paper says they've been there for at least six hours.

"That is where all the souls they take end up in?" Peter raised an eyebrow. "Apparently" Talia mumbled.

Stiles gets up and walks to the ticket booth. The sign says "Back in 5 Minutes" but the dust on the counter is thick. Stiles turns to ask if anyone works at the station when a voice comes over the intercom. "The following stops have been canceled: Hollatine, Baddon, Bay Burry, Deer Ridge, Red Oak, Trenton, Anderson, King Springs." All the people get up from their seats and head for the tunnel marked "To Trains." Stiles follows asking them if they know which train is coming. Wind sweeps through the tunnel bringing with it rustling leaves and the sound of the Ghost Riders on horseback. The people in the waiting area panic and flee, taking refuge behind the rows of pews as the Riders enter and dump a tied man onto the floor. The man's bonds disappear in a puff of green smoke. The riders tear through the station knocking people down as they ride. Someone grabs Stiles and thrusts him behind a column. It's Peter Hale.

"Huh. They took me too" Peter blinked. "You don't seem to be panicking" Mason pointed out. Peter shrugged, "well I don't really have anyone at that point to return to so" he shrugs again. Talia looked at her brother with a sad look.

The riders return through the tunnel and everyone in the station, save Stiles, immediately returns to their seats and their formerly docile questions Peter who explains that he's there to catch a train. When pushed on how he got there, he says he probably took a cab. He appears to have forgotten about the Ghost Riders already. Stiles seems to the only person to remember as the others are as docile as before including the guy the riders just dumped. Peter asks Stiles to move because he's "blocking the board."

"It's weird seeing you so calm and docile" Laura said honestly. "I know" Peter agreed with a nod and snort.

The board is a list of arrivals and departures. The towns of Beacon Hills, Bodie, Boneville, Pripyat, Bannack, Skido, Canaan, Garnet, Harappa, and Red Bird are listed under the heading Arrivals. With each listed as "arrived" except Beacon Hills which is listed as "on time." The Departures board shows all towns are "delayed." They include Springville, Batten, Red Oak, Trenton, Anderson, King Springs, Cannon Creek, Hollatine, Bay Burry, and Deer Ridge.

"More targets" Allison muttered wide eyed.

Stiles reminds Peter that the last time anyone saw him, he was being locked away in Eichen House and the memories start flooding back. Peter remembers screaming as he is locked in a cell with Dr. Valack. Peter remembers carving The Spiral pattern signifying revenge on the floor of his cell. The power went out and his door opened. He left his cell and beat down a guard that tried to stop him. Then he ran from Eichen. At some later time, as he is getting into his car, he hears thunder and the Ghost Riders appear and shoot him.
