A Chance

Lydia slowly started to come to and she opened her eyes to see her friends crowded around her.

"Stiles, isn't Stiles, the nogitsune, the oni" Lydia rambled on

"Lydia calm down, sit up and start again..." Scott said helping her up

"Okay, when I touched Stiles, I relived what happened to him last night. He was attacked by the oni, they possessed him, they want a leader." Lydia stood up gesturing for some space "Where's Malia?!" Lydia started to panic

"Stiles took her, told us if we follow them, he'll kill her" Isaac was pacing "We need a plan to get her back and save Stiles!"

Everyone gathered their thoughts and started to work out what they were going to do. Everyone was worried about Malia and they were also wondering about what would happen to Stiles. Would they have to kill him? Is there a way to kill the spirit and save Stiles?

It had been a couple of hours since they had last seen their two friends and they werent any closer to figuring out what they were going to do.

"How do you kill a spirit anyway?" Aidan broke the silence "Does anyone know anything about a nogistune? Is that it?"

"Yeah, a nogistune is a trickster spirit, its a fox. It feeds on anger, chaos and sprife. It likes to play games." Allison informed the group "I read it in Gerrards Bestiary."

"I think we just need to trap him, theres 6 of us and 1 of him." Isaac added

"And we have Ethan and I, lets see Stiles take on two alphas!" Aidan growled

"No, you said the nogitsune is a fox right? You can't be a wolf...and a fox, can you?" Lydia thought out loud

"Change the host..." Allison whispered

"What? Would that work? Would that save my bestfriend?" Scott questioned

"Dad has this scroll and I read that you have to change the host, we can do that if we can get close enough." Allison said assertively

Void!Stiles POV

I took Malia to this cave by the cove, it was really quiet after I hit her over the head with a rock to get her to stop screaming and struggling. In all honesty I don't even know why I went through the effort to bring her with me, I could have easily got away by myself. Why did i drag her along? What am I supposed to do with her now?

In the silence I was left alone with the voices in my head;

"When is a door not a door?"

                                                         "Let me in Stiles!"

"What does everyone have but no one can lose it?"

                                                         "It'll be a darkness around your heart."

"LET ME OUT!"

The voices were mine and pathetic little Stiles', he's been trying to over power me and gain back control of his body but he's deluded if he thinks poor skinny defenseless Stiles can defeat me, the nogistune.

Malia POV

I started to wake up and my head was pounding, I reached to feel the back of it where the pain was and it was wet. I looked at my hand and it was covered in blood. I started to feel really scared again. I looked up to see Stiles pacing back and forth, he seemed very stressed and under pressure.
