Inside the mind of paranoia

What to do?

A/N: I'll try to post every Wednesday and sorry for the short chapter!

    First it was his hand and then his foot. His fingers twitching along with his toes. He still wasn't able to fully move which bought them some time but they were unsure how much. His head slowly began to rise from the ledge of the couch and leveled with the rest of his body. He glanced around at everybody's anticipating stares. Scott sighed and finally went over to him. He made an unsettling eye contact with Stiles but still decided to rip the tape off his mouth. As the tape was pulled off painfully, he inhaled and took a deep breath. But was it really Stiles? Everybody anticipated some snarky comment to be said by now. The silence continued for even longer than normal, so it was obvious he wasn't in a chatty mood and that it wasn't Stiles. Scott took a deep breath and looked at Deaton. "What do we do? We've already been inside his head, what else can we do?" Scott sounded desperate for answers, he tried to remain calm for Stiles. It's hard to remain calm when the same person you're trying for is staring at you like a madman. He looked at the ground in shame for how he's been acting. Lydia took notice but ultimately didn't say anything.

    Scott's head jerked up as he heard Deaton's calm voice. "Maybe we should go to the kitchen so then he doesn't hear us. Can the rest of you watch Stiles?" Deaton looked at Lydia,Kira, and Melissa as the ask nodded in unison. Scott had also nodded as he followed Deaton into the kitchen. Deaton leaned against the table in an almost carefree manner. While Scott stood close to the table but never making contact, he was clearly not as calm at Deaton was.

    Scott shrugged his shoulders as he began to speak clearly annoyed yet still keeping his composure. "So what do we do now? We don't have any sort of plan." Scott just wanted his brother back. He couldn't stand thinking about his memories and how he could've prevented some of the pain he had felt. Scott placed his hand on his stomach feeling to stop the sickening feeling of guilt.

Deaton looked at Scott and remained calm. He spoke softly, "Well, that was our best shot. Unless we wait and try it again I see no other way." Deaton looked over at Stiles then at the table trying to think of something.

Meanwhile Scott looked at him in disbelief. "So we just let them become one being?" His voice cracking slightly from the spike in anger he feels.

Deaton looks at Scott and yet his calm expression doesn't waver he just keeps talking smoothly, "Like I was saying, we either don't have a plan or we do what we did today when The Nogitsune seems to be more at bay." His voice was a little sharper than usual as he seemed to glare at Scott.

    "We can't just wait around and let that happen we have to-!" Scott was abruptly cut off from his yelling.

"Scott!" Deaton raised his voice which surprised Scott. Scott took a step back and looked at Deatons serious and slightly annoyed expression.

Scott looked down at his hands and sighed. "Sorry..." He muttered looking at the floor instead of Deaton. Scott couldn't take it anymore. He didn't want this...monster and Stiles to become one. He wanted Stiles back...for good.

" We just can't be sure... but we definitely need to keep an eye on him. He's beginning to get bold." Deaton points out, him and Scott both noticing his more snarky nature. "We have to remember The Nogitsune is a being who only wants to see chaos, pain, and strife. he'll always do something chaotic but now... his actions will most likely put Stiles on the line, whether physically or mentally." Deaton could feel Scott's shocked wide eyed glare.

   He needed to listen to Deaton, no matter how much he wanted to get this over with. "Okay so basically the plan is wait it out until he's more vulnerable?" Scott said as he sighed and looked up at Deaton. The anger and annoyance he had previously felt now replaced by a sense of urgency to help his friend.

    Deaton slightly smiled as he looked at Stiles quickly then back to Scott. "Yes, I'm just not sure whe-" Suddenly there were yells and a bunch of mangled voices but one stood out to Scott the most...It was Stiles.
