CHAPTER FORTY:

"i knew the nogitsune was too chaotic to play this game on his own. he needed me to help him win. all i had to do was give him my pain. thanks to you and scott mccall, i have plenty." harris said.

"we all have pain." jackson said.

"but marcie's pain is particularly appealing to a thousand-year-old demon." harris said looking at her.

"you don't know what you're talking about." marcie replied.

on the contrary, losing the love of your life is a veritable delicacy to the nogitsune. so give him a taste, marcie. tell us where stiles is. give us your pain, or the next time, i shoot lydia in the head." harris said shoving marcie out of his way and pointing his gun at lydia.

"marcie, don't do it." lydia said with tears building in her eyes.

lydia knew that marcie couldn't survive if stiles died. she couldn't let her best friend choose between them.

"last chance, where is he marcie? where is stiles?" harris asked again.

"right here, motherfucker." she heard someone said as they pointed their gun at harris's head.

she looked up and she saw stiles. as much as she wanted to be angry at him, she knew he was there to save them.

"you think you can kill me stilinski?" harris asked with a grin.

"i know i can't. but i think my friends can kill the nogitsune. you know why? because mountain ash do and work on banshees." stiles said looking at lydia.

"allison is alive. your best friend is alive, and she's out there fighting for her life. don't lose her again. she'll hear you. lydia, she'll hear you." jackson told her.

through the illusion they could see allison and scott fighting the oni. they knew scott got her back but she still needed to remember what she was fighting for.

"lydia, scream." marcie said to her.

"allison!" lydia said loudly making scott and allison cover their eyes.

allison finally remembered everything. but all marcie, stiles, lydia and jackson could do was watch.

"i remember. i remember everything." allison said.

"we're not done yet. the game is mine." the nogitsune said putting his hand around elias' neck.

"take me. let the others go." scott said.

"all the lives here belong to me." the nogitsune replied.

"all you need is me." scott told him.

"scott, don't do this." derek said.

"allison kills me, i die in her arms, the same way that she died in mine. that's the move that wins the game, isn't it?" scott said.

"i've already won." the nogitsune said.

"you lose! until i'm off the board! and i'm still standing. and I'm still the alpha." scott replied.

"an arrow to the heart to save everyone else? all the other players go free." the nogitsune said.

"no. no, i can't. i... i can't... i cannot... no. no." allison said.

"kill him, allison, and i win the game." the nogitsune said.

"allison, please. don't make me watch my friends and my family die." scott said to her.

"game is mine! kill him!" the nogitsune said.
