inside the stilinski's household, scott mccall walked into stiles stilinski's room with isaac lahey and then walked in lydia martin with aiden steiner.

scott and isaac looked over at the two. "what, did he call you too?" scott looks at lydia.

lydia shook her head, eyes so distant as she looked around the room. "no, i heard it."

isaac was painted with confusion, aiden noticing that he was about to say something but stopped him with a sigh. "don't ask, it gets more confusing when you ask."

isaac grunts, reluctantly nodding. "okay..." but still seemed confused.

lydia's body then moved towards stiles' crime board. "not as confusing as this." lydia's fingers trailed across the strings that were hooked around the thumbtacks. "he uses red for unsolved cases."

"maybe, he thinks he's part of an unsolved case...?" aiden shrugs.

"or is an unsolved case." isaac mumbles.

lydia shook her head at both wolves. "hold on, is he still out there?"

"he said he was in an industrial basement somewhere." scott hesitantly says.

"we came here to get a better scent." isaac adds.

lydia looks in between them. "what else did he say?"

scott looks at isaac anxiously, while lydia waited on an answer, rather impatiently. "something's wrong with his leg, it's bleeding..."

isaac adds with blunt words. "and he's freezing."

"tonight's the coldest night of the year,  it's going to drop into the twenties." aiden states.

"what did his dad say?" lydia calmly asks.

scott shifted awkwardly on his feet, looking down at his sneakers then back at the impatient martin. "...we, uh–––kind of didn't...tell him...?"

lydia's eyes squinted at him in disbelief. "stiles is bleeding and freezing and you did tell his father?!"

"he made me promise!" scott defensively says.

lydia scoffs at him, shooting an angered glare in his direction.

scott then sighs out. "we can find him by scent, if he was sleepwalking, he couldn't have gotten far, right?"

"are you asleep?"

aviva sat on knees on the rug that covered the hard covered ground, her looking down at nikolai's sleeping form.

"no."

aviva saw his eyes opening, showing his dark orbs that reflected of darkness but within seconds it soon disappeared and was replaced by his soft and bright ones.

"i can't sleep." nikolai whispers.

"and why is that?" aviva's head tilted at him, a piece of her light brown hair falling on her face.

"junsui-sa wa yami o hikiyoseru jishakuda."

aviva pulled back slightly, confusion painted over her features, not understanding what he's saying, but she knew it wasn't a language she's familiar with.

"did you just talk in japanese? since when did you speak japanese?" aviva confusingly whispers.

nikolai's eyes lit up in fright. "i-i don't know, but i don't want to be with the darkness."
