the other Argent (Teen Wolf x oc)

Strife

Evelyn walked into the sheriff's station. She had heard that her father and Derek were getting out. "You know he's left people severely injured," Argent said as she entered the office. 

"And others severely dead," Derek added. 

"That's why I need you two. I need someone who knows what they're doing, someone to help me stop him," Stlinski said. 

"And by stop him, you mean catch him," Argent said. Stlinski handed him the taser, holding it until he agreed. 

"I'll meet you guys at the apartment. I've got to pick something up," Evelyn said. All three men turned to look at her Argent nodded. Evelyn looked at Derek. He smiled softly. Evelyn turned around, heading back out the door.

Evelyn walked into the Argent apartment as Allison and Stlinski walked out. "We're going to Eichen house," Derek said, grabbing her hand and blocking Argent from view. He didn't want her to know that Argent was planning to try to kill the nogitsune and Stiles along with it. 

"You don't have to try and hide it. I know how he thinks," Evelyn said, walking around Derek to stand in front of her father. "You may not believe this, but we can still save Stiles. I need you to give us a chance, a chance to save him," Evelyn pleaded. Argent nodded. Evelyn knew that he would still try to kill the nogitsune. It was in his nature as a hunter, something that you never truly lost, something that even after six years apart from the Argent family, she still had that instinct, but more than that, she had the instinct to protect, and something told her that if Argent tried to shoot Stiles, she'd take the bullet for him, but if things went wrong if she stopped believing Stiles could be saved Evelyn also knew she would be the one to pull the trigger to kill the Nogitsune so that no one else had to live with that decision. Evelyn turned to find Derek still at the door, staring at them. The three of them loaded into Argent's SUV, heading for Eichen house. 

"We can do this," Derek whispered as Evelyn fiddled with her fingers in her lap. 

"I hope so," Evelyn said, her voice barely audible as Argent's phone started to ring. 

"It's the sheriff," he said. "Hello," Argent said as he answered. 

"He's at my house," Stlinski said. 

"We're on our way," Evelyn told him.

"What's all this?" Argent asked, looking down at the chess board in Stiles's room. 

"It's what Stiles used to explain all this," Stlinski said. 

"Is there any reason why my name is on the King?" Derek asked. 

"It could be a message from Stiles, the real Stiles," Allison said. 

"I guess the alarming thing is that you're one move away from checkmate," Stlinski said to Derek. 

"This isn't a message from Stiles. It's a threat from the nogitsune," Argent said. 

"He's at the loft. That's what he wants us to know. He wants us there." Evelyn said

 "Then we better be careful," Argent said. 

"Wait," Stlinski shouted. 

"What," Argent asked, frustrated. 

"Our enemy isn't a killer," he said. 

"I think you might be slightly biased on that," Argent said. 

"No, I mean he's a trickster. The killing is just a byproduct," the sheriff said. "He wants a joke we just have to change the punch line."

 "The sun is setting, sheriff. What did you have in mind?" Argent asked.

Evelyn stayed back with Argent, Derek, and Allison as Stlinski went in to talk to Stiles. "Do you think this is going to work?" Derek asked. 

"Derek, we can't even talk Stiles out of things, much less a psychotic fox spirit possessing him," Evelyn said. 

"You're worried," Argent asked. 

"Something feels off," Evelyn said, stepping closer to the door, "and I can't quite place it."

 "This isn't going to end well, is it?" Derek asked. 

"Stlinski's had his time," Argent said. "It's time for us to go in." The four walked into the loft. Allison pulled out her taser, shooting it at the nogitsune, but he caught it, tearing it out of her hands. Derek lunged forward, but Stiles caught him, twisting his arm behind his back and throwing him to the ground. Evelyn surged forward, but Argent moved before she could get there, pulling out his gun.

 "Argent, don't do this," Stlinski begged. 

"Why not?" The hunter asked. "I've done it before, werewolves berserker. Why not add a nogitsune to the list?"

 "You're not going to shoot my son," Stlinski said, pulling out his own gun and pointing it at Argent. The two began shouting at each other, the nogitsune egging them on. 

"Stop, Dad, please," Evelyn begged, throwing herself between Stiles and her father. Argent lowered the gun slightly, not willing to lose his daughter again. 

"This is what he wants." Allison said, "Exactly what he wants."

 "Well, not exactly. I kinda hoped Scott would be here," the nogitsune said, "and the fae is more intelligent than I thought and even more willing to protect the boy than the rest of you. I wonder how much pain it will cause her to lose him," the Nogitsune asked. "I'm glad you brought your guns, though, because you're not here to kill me. You're here to protect me." He slipped back, everyone surrounding him as the sun went down and the Oni appeared.
