                  *STILES POV*

It's been three days and we haven't found anything. Scott has been stressed from school and Derek is angry that we haven't found anything. I don't know what the hell Isaac has been up to. I have been just alone mostly unless someone wants more research. Lydia and I have talked a little at school, but she is still hooking up with Aidan. I still get sketchy dreams most nights. So yeah thinks are great. 

Right now I'm in class just waiting for the bell to ring to signal the end of the school day. Danny and Ethan are flirting in the back of the room and honestly that is my only source of entertainment currently. I finally hear the bell ring so I quickly grab my stuff and head to my car. On my way there someone grabs my arms and pulls me into the supply closet. 

             "Hey what the hell-" I start, but then I see Scott and I let out a breath of relief.  

            "Stiles get to Derek's house as soon as possible, okay? We will explain when we all get there." He says vaguely then runs out of the closet, leaving me standing there. 

I quickly run back out and Scott is nowhere to be found. I run out to my jeep and start it then drive to Derek's as fast as I can. On my way there I nearly hit a dog, but was able to dodge barely. I almost ran into a tree so I quickly backed away from it then started back to the house. Once I got there I ran inside to see Isaac, Ethan, Aidan, Scott, Derek, Allison, and Peter already there. 

            "Took you long enough." Derek says not happy. I just roll my eyes.

            "Well I'm sorry that I almost hit a tree, now what is so important?" I ask, but you can tell Derek's eyes soften over the fact that I almost got into a wreck. 

            "We know where the kanima is" Peter informs me and I just get confused.

            "Why are you telling me this?" I ask. Now they all look confused except Peter, who just laughs. 

            "What do you mean?" Scott asks.

           "Well you guys always get mad at me for coming with you and you always call for research and nothing else." I say nonchalantly. The room falls into silence while I just stand there awkwardly.

           "We need your helps Stiles." Derek says and they all nod. I feel a burst of happiness surge through me and I nod.

           "Okay, when are we going after it?" I question. They exchange glances then Derek's eyes meet mine again.

          "Tonight, soon." He answers.

          "We finally figured out where it has been hiding all this time and we know that it in fact does not have a master." Isaac adds.

           "How did you guys figure all this out in three days?" I ask, confused. 

          "Your research doesn't count for nothing, Stiles" Allison says with a little smile. 

          "Okay then what are we waiting for?" I say determined. 

We all get the plan straight then start to head where we need to. Allison is in the car with me while the rest of the pack is running there. Once we pull up to the abandoned building outside of town, Allison and I get out quietly. We are supposed to put mountain ash around the building then wait out here with guns while the rest try to catch it inside. 

I get the text from Scott saying that they are inside so Allison and I start lining the building with mountain ash. We meet on the other side of the building then head back to the front. I can hear the commotion going on inside and also the screech of the kanima. Allison grabs her bow while I grab a gun. We just have to wait out here and this wasn't particularly the action I wanted to get tonight, but just being here is good enough for me.

Next thing I know one of the windows on the third floor shatters and two figures come flying out. I notice one of them is the kanima, but I can't tell who the other person is yet. Once they hit the ground the kanima easily gets up, but the other person doesn't move. I squint my eyes and notice that it is Derek unconscious on the ground. The kanima lifts its claws and is about to slash Dereks throat when I quickly run past the mountain ash line and head to Derek. 

"Stiles don't!" I hear Allison call out after, but I ignore her. 

"Hey! Over here!" I yell and the kanima looks to me before it slashes Derek. It shrieks then starts to run towards me. I start to shoot it with the gun, but that doesn't help any. 

I start to run back to the line and it's getting closer. I look back as I'm running and notice a few arrows being shot into it, but it keeps running. I feel one of its claws slice the back of my neck and I instantly fall to the ground paralyzed from the neck down. I try to look over as much as I can, and all I can see is the kanima moving closer. 

                      *DEREK'S POV*

I let out a groan as I start to come back to consciousness. I can't move anything below my neck so I know that the thing paralyzed me, but where is it? I hear it screech and I look over to see it heading to towards a not moving Stiles. NO! I try moving as much as I can, but it's not working. I don't know why, but I can not let him die. 

Next thing I know Scott, Isaac, and the twins appear and start to fight it. I let out a breath of relief and keep trying to move. I notice the Allison snuck in the line and pulled Stiles out, but accidentally broke the line while doing so and the kanima runs away quickly once it notices. No one runs after it, because we know the fight is over for tonight. 

Scott runs over to Stiles while Isaac runs over to me. He grabs my arms and drags me to the jeep. They push me into the back and suddenly Stiles is laid down next to me. Allison starts the car and she drives off to I'm assuming my place. 

              "So are you doing okay?" I hear Stiles ask and I look over at him. I notice that he is facing me too so when I turn my head our noses are touching. I can hear Stiles suck in a sharp breath and for some reason I don't turn my face away. 

              "I can heal so I'm fine, what about you?" I respond quietly. He bites his lip and my eyes can't help but stare at them.

              "I'll be okay." He answers and if I didn't have special abilities I wouldn't have noticed that we had moved a centimeter closer.

            "Why were you even inside the mountain ash in the first place?" I ask and his eyes dart down.

           "I was in there to- uh... save you" He says quietly and I just scan his amazing face with my eyes. I don't know why I feel like this or why I can't control it, but I know that I shouldn't be doing this. 

            "You could have gotten yourself killed" I said concerned.

           "Well you would have been killed if I didn't come." He answers in a duh tone and for some reason I laugh warmly instead of rolling my eyes. 

            "Thanks Stiles" I say, but it comes out as a whisper. I can feel his breath on my face as he moves his face closer. Our lips are just about to touch when I force myself to look away. I look away from him, but I know that he is hurt. 

We finally get to the loft and I'm starting to regain feeling in my hands and feet. I'm assuming they are all staying here tonight, but as I get into the loft I hear Stiles asking Allison if she could take him home. For some reason I get really sad at this, but what can I do? I hear agree then Stiles' jeep starts again and drives off. 

Isaac sets me down on the couch then Scott comes and sits next me. He has a look like he is thinking then he turns to me. 

"You need to talk to Deaton." Is all he says before getting up and leaving. What is that supposed to mean?
