Through better and worse, I'll still love you. (3rd book to HIABY?)

Chapter 18- Riddled

^Here's another chapter!! <3^


Sadie's phone is vibrating. She wakes up and seeing that it is Stiles, she answers immediately. "Hey, Babe, what's up? Stiles?"Sadie questions as she sits up in bed, she can hear him breathing nervously. "Stiles, you there?"She questions. There's static on the line but then Stiles' voice comes through in a whisper. "Sadie?"Stiles whispers. "Hey, I'm here. Are you okay? Can you hear me?"Sadie asks him. "Sadie, I don't- I don't know where I am. I don't know how I got here, I think was sleepwalking."Stiles says over the phone. "Okay, um, can you see anything? Just tell me what you see."Sadie says to her boyfriend as she starts to slip on some real clothes. "Ah, it's dark. It's hard to see. I think there's something wrong with my-"The call dropped. Increasingly agitated and worried, Sadie calls back twice but gets voice mail both times. Then her phone buzzes again. "Stiles?"Sadie answered quickly. "Sadie, I don't think I can get out of here. I can't move."He said. "Where are you?"Sadie asked as she tied up her sneakers. "I don't know. I don't know, it's too dark. I can't see much and something's wrong with my leg. It's stuck on something and it's - I think it's bleeding."Stiles said. "How bad? Stiles, how bad is it?"She asked worried and when he didn't answer she asked, "Stiles, are you there? Can you hear me? "Sadie asked worried."Ah, there's some kind of smell down here. Something smells terrible. It's brutal. My eyes are watering."Stiles explained. "Okay, listen. I'm calling your dad."Sadie said. "No, no, no, no, don't."He said. "But your dad-"Sadie started but Stiles cut her off. "Don't, Just please don't call him. Promise you won't. He already worries about me too much. Sadie, please."Stiles begged. "But what if I can't find you? Stiles, I can't make a promise like that."Sadie said tears coming to her eyes at just the thought of her not finding him. "No, no, no, just please.*Sniffling*Please, don't call him. Come find me, you can do it. He doesn't have to know. Sadie, you can find me. I know you can."Stiles said. "I don't know if I can do this."She said, Stiles sniffled,"Oh, I gotta call you back. I have to turn the phone off."Stiles said. "What? No, hey, wait-"Sadie started but Stiles cut her off again. "I'm gonna call you back."He says. "Hold on, Stiles wait- Hold on, babe."She said but it was too late, he already hung up. Sadie ran into her brother/Isaac's room. "Isaac, Scott, get up! I need your guys help!"Sadie shouted and she turned on the light. "Isaac, Scott!"She said again. "Why? What's wrong?"Scott said tiredly. "It's Stiles. Get dressed."Sadie said to them. "What's wrong with Stiles?"Isaac asked. "I don't know."Sadie whispered with tears threatening to spill.

~Beacon Hills high school; Art classroom.
Lydia is sketching Aiden in the Beacon Hills High School Arts Classroom after hours. "I said hold still."Lydia said to a shirtless Aiden. "Are we even allowed to be here this late? What if security catches us?"Aiden asked worried. "There is no security. The number of homicides in this school has seen to it that no sane person will ever take a night job here again."Lydia said. "So we're all alone?"Aiden asked with a small smile. "You're losing the pose again."Lydia said. "You know, when you said you wanted me to model for you, this wasn't what I thought you had in mind."Aiden said with a smirk now. "Oh, really? If you're thinking nude modeling, it's usually done without the pants."Lydia said. Aiden promptly removes his pants but before he can remove his underwear, Lydia hears voices coming out of her music speaker. Aiden still hears music playing but Lydia hears Stiles' voice saying "Come find me, Sadie."

~McCall Residence.
Sadie's phone vibrated and she immediately picked it up when she saw her boyfriend's name. "Hey, Stiles."Sadie said causing Isaac and Scott to look at her. "Did you call him? Did you call my dad?"Stiles asked. "No, Just Isaac and Scott. We're coming to find you. Can you figure out where you are? Try to find something and tell us where to look."Sadie said and she put the phone on speaker. "It's a basement. I think- I think I'm in some kind of basement."Stiles said. "In a house?"Isaac asked. "No. It looks bigger. Like industrial. I think there's a furnace. But it's cold. It's freezing down here. I gotta turn the- I gotta turn the phone off. It's going to die."Stiles said. "Wait, wait, what else is there? What do you see?"Scott asked. "The phones dying. I can't talk. I have to go."Stiles whispered. "Please Stiles "Sadie begged and then asked, "Why are you whispering?"She asked. "Because I think there's someone in here with me."Stiles whispered and then he hung up the phone.

~Kira's bedroom.
Kira is on her bed studying. She reaches to turn on a table lamp but the bulb is out. She calls to her mother that the lamp is "dead." She then removes the shade and reaches to remove the burned out bulb but as her fingers brush the glass of the incandescent bulb it relights briefly. She jerks her hand back but then tries it again more slowly. Small bolts of electricity come from each of her fingers and the bulb lights fully before exploding. Mrs. Yukimura enters and seems angry wanting to know what Kira did to break the bulb. She then barks that Kira should be asleep. As her mom screws in a new light bulb Kira notices that her mom's fingers also briefly glow with electricity.

~Stiles bedroom.
Isaac, Scott, and Sadie come into his room only to find Lydia and Aiden already there. "How did you know? Did he call you too?"Scott asked. Lydia shook her head, "I heard it. He was asking Sadie to find him."Lydia said and she looked at Sadie who was looking at what Stiles did. Pictures and articles cover almost all the walls and the red threads (unsolved cases) stretch away from the walls and are all tied to the handles of a pair of scissors which is stabbed into the center of Stiles' mattress. The overall impression is that of a spider's web radiating out from the center of Stiles' bed. "Don't ask, it gets more confusing when you ask."Aiden says. "Okay. Not as confusing as this, he uses red for unsolved cases."Sadie says. "Maybe he thinks he's part of an unsolved case?"Aiden asks. "Or is an unsolved case."Isaac says. "Hold on. Is he still out there? You don't know where he is?"Lydia asked. "He said he was in an industrial basement somewhere. We came here to get a better scent."Isaac said. "What else did he say?"Aiden asked. "Something's wrong with his leg. It's bleeding and he's freezing."Scott said. "Tonight's the coldest night of the year. It's going to drop into the 20s."Aiden informed. "What did his dad say?"Lydia asked. "We kind of -We didn't tell him yet."Scott said. "Stiles is bleeding and freezing and you didn't call his dad?"Lydia asked and she looked at Sadie who was still looking at what Stiles did; trying to figure out his thinking. "He made Sadie promise not to. We can find him by scent. If he was sleepwalking he couldn't have gotten far, right?"Isaac asked. "You didn't notice his Jeep is gone, did you?"Aiden asked. "Sadie promised she wouldn't call his dad."Scott said. "I didn't."Lydia said and went to call Stiles dad. "Wait, Lydia, hold on. I can get more help. I can call Derek, Allison- Everyone except for the cops."Scott said. "Great idea. You guys remember she gets these feelings when someone's about to die, right?"Aiden said and before anyone could speak up Sadie did."You don't have to call his dad. Its five minutes to the station, he should hear about this in person."Sadie said quietly and she, Isaac, Aiden, and Scott started to walk out. Lydia grabbed Aiden's arm, "We'll catch up."Lydia said. "What? Why?"Scott asked. "Because there's something here."Lydia said. "Yeah. Evidence of total insanity. We can figure out what's wrong with him after we find a way - to keep him from freezing to death."Isaac said. "Just go. We'll be right behind you."Lydia said and they left.

~Where ever Stiles is.
On a concrete floor, Stiles is shivering and fumbling with his phone. He turns on the flashlight app and shines it down toward his foot. He is wearing pajama bottoms and his left foot appears to be caught in the jaws of a large trap. His leg is bleeding from the calf where the metal jaws of the trap connect with his leg. He cries out in pain. Stiles hears someone else in the room and speaks to them aloud. He gets no response. As he shines the light around the room we see there are metal beams supporting the roof and on the opposite wall sits a large industrial boiler. Behind this we see what appears to be man in a leather bomber jacket squatting with his back to Stiles. There is a scraping sound and the man, with heavily bandaged fingers, drops a piece of chalk which rolls along the concrete floor. Stiles follows the chalk with the light and when he raises it again, the figure is gone. On the wall is a chalk-drawn backwards number 5. It is the Japanese Kanji for "self" which Stiles recognizes after hearing about the events at the McCall house. As Stiles speaks the word "self" aloud, a breeze flows through the room, rustling the leaves on the floor and turning the backwards five into a cloud of chalk dust that vanishes as if it was never there at all.

~Sheriff's Station.
"If his Jeep is gone, that's where we start." Sheriff Stilinski said to everyone in the station. "Parrish, let's get an APB out on a blue 1980 CJ-5 Jeep."He said to a deputy and he nodded, "Cordova, I want a list of any kind of industrial basement or sub-level of any building that he could've gotten into while sleepwalking."He said to another deputy. "It's the coldest night of the year so far. So if he's out their barefoot in just a T-shirt, he could already be hypothermic. Let's move fast. Let's think fast."He said. He then looked to Isaac, Scott, and Sadie."The three of you, come with me."He said and they followed him into his office. "Okay. Is there anything you need to tell me that I can't tell anyone out there?"Mr. Stilinski said. "Lydia knew he was missing. She somehow heard him call out to Sadie."Scott said. "Can she help find him?"Mr. Stilinski asked. "Well, she's working on it."Sadie said. "Anything else?"Mr. Stilinski asked. "I called Derek and Allison for help."Scott said. "Can you find him by scent?"Mr. Stilinski asked and before anyone could answer there was a knock on the door and it opened. "We got it, sir. We found the Jeep."Deputy Parrish said.

~Beacon Hills hospital.
"It's dead. He must have left the lights on."Mr. Stilinski said. "Why would he come here?"A deputy asked. "Let's find out."Mr. Stilinski said and they headed inside. Scott looks and sees his sister staring at the roof,"Hey, Sadie. What's up?"Scott said as he and Isaac walked over to her. "The roof, I need to get to the roof."She said and they walked inside.
Inside, Melissa McCall has security guards searching every floor. The Sheriff and Melissa head for the basement.

*Sadie's pov*
Isaac, Scott and I walked onto the roof to find Derek already there. I could feel something and I knew it wasn't good. "He's not here. Not anymore."Derek said. "You mean the whole building?"Scott asked. "Gone."Derek said. "Go tell Stilinski and see if you can find Allison. She's not answering her phone."Scott said to Isaac and he left. "Notice how strong the scent is up here?"Derek asked Scott and he nodded. "Ever hear of chemo signals? Their Chemical signals that communicate emotion and just our sweat can give off anger, fear or disgust."Derek said. "Is that what I can feel right now?"I asked Derek and he nodded. "Both of you take a deep breath and tell me what you feel."Derek said. "Stress."I said, "And anxiety."Scott added. "What was he doing up here?"Scott asked. "I don't know but there was definitely some kind of struggle."Derek said. "With who?"Scott asked and before Derek could say, I did, "Himself."I said and Derek nodded.

~Sheriff's Station.
At the Sheriff's Station, Agent McCall is wondering where everyone went. He asks Deputy Parish if maybe there's been a break in the case of the sword wielding maniac that stabbed him through the shoulder. Parrish indicates two "Wanted" posters, one depicting a cartoon samurai and the other showing a cartoon Zorro and says "we've got posters up all over town of your guy." McCall doesn't take kindly to the joke saying the cartoons are not exactly how he described his assailant to the sketch artist. Parish retorts that McCall isn't their highest priority of the night. Genuinely curious, McCall wants to know what the high priority might be.

~Stiles bedroom.
"Wow, he must really love Sadie."Aiden says, he had been looking for clues and stumbled upon a promise ring. Lydia not seeing what he had because she was looking somewhere else, "Are you kidding me? Those two have been in love with each other since the second they met. It just took them a while to admit it."Lydia said. "Yeah, but look what I found."Aiden said and Lydia turned around and walked over to him. "Is it an engagement ring?"Aiden asked, Lydia looked at him like he was stupid, "No, it's a promise ring."She said. "Is there a difference?"He asked and she just rolled her eyes. "We have to find him like now, so put that back and get searching."She said and Aiden listened. Lydia gets a text from Scott updating her on their search of the hospital. Derek is heading off to the School, Isaac went to find Allison and he says Sadie, Mr.Stilinski and him are going to try something Deaton mentioned once.

~McCall Residence.
"Okay, now with everything I told Deaton, he said that Stiles and I are connected; remember how Stiles and I were both in that dream about Peter?"Sadie asked and Scott nodded. "Now with what I can do I should be able to get into Stiles mind and see what he is seeing."Sadie said. "Okay, how do you do that?"Scott asked. "Wait, this isn't going to hurt you is it?"Mr. Stilinski asked. Sadie shook her head, "Not at all, it didn't hurt before."Sadie said and Mr. Stilinski nodded. "So how do you do it?"Scott asked. "Well I have to lie down."Sadie said and she layed down on the couch. "Okay, now I close my eyes and think about Stiles. Think about finding him and saving him. Because we are connected I'll be allowed inside his head."Sadie said and they nodded. She took a deep breath and she closed her eyes and did as Deaton had informed her awhile ago. She first thought of past memories and then she thought of rescuing him and what he said about being in a basement. She could feel herself connecting to him...

~Where ever Stiles is.
Stiles struggles with the metal trap that pins his left leg. He sees a shadow move across his field of vision. "Who's there? Who are you!?"Stiles asks. A raspy male voice begins speaking in Japanese. "I don't- I don't understand."Stiles says. He catches a glimpse of the figure. It is wearing a brown bomber jacket with what appear to be military patches on the sleeves. Its head is fully covered in bandages as are its hands."Not who are you, Stiles. Who are we?"The voice says in English. "It's getting colder, Stiles. Did you notice that we've stopped shivering? Do you know why that's a bad sign?"The bandage man asks. "It's the body trying to conserve energy. It was my fifth grade science report, Hypothermia."Stiles says. "Our speech is starting to thicken, then comes fatigue, Confusion. We're going to die if we don't get out of here."The bandaged man says. "Stop saying that. Stop saying we."Stiles says.

~Stiles bedroom
Aiden idly plucks at one of the red strings connected to Stiles' scissor-stabbed bed. As the string twangs with tension, Lydia hears whispering voices. She repeats the process and says the voices are saying something about a house. They find a picture attached to the red thread of a mental health center called Eichen House. This was the facility where William Barrow was committed after his attack on the school bus. Lydia is convinced that they will find Stiles there

*Sadie's pov*
I could hear talking and soon I was outside a door and I opened it. There was a set of stairs that led to a basement. "Our speech is starting to thicken, then comes fatigue, Confusion. We're going to die if we don't get out of here."Someone says. "Stop saying that. Stop saying we."Stiles says. "Stiles?"I called out as I started to go down the stairs. "How are you doing that!? Stop it!"Stiles shouted. "We're just trying to keep you from freezing to death. You better get up, Stiles."Someone said and I hit the bottom and I saw someone behind something. "How? There's a freaking steel-jawed trap on my leg!"Stiles said and I looked and saw Stiles lying on the floor with Steel-jawed trap on his left leg. "Is there?"The man said as Stiles sobbed, "Notice something different? It was on your right leg before, wasn't it?"The man said and I looked in his direction to see he was wrapped in bandages. Stiles looked down, "No."He said. "Are you sure?"The bandaged man asked. I furrowed my eyebrows as the trap switches to Stiles right leg, "This wasn't right, this didn't make any since."I thought. "Stiles, this isn't real. This is all in your head, you need to wake up."I said to him. He looked at me, "How are you-"He started but then he looked towards the bandaged man. "How are you doing that!? What is this? What are you doing?"Stiles shouted towards the bandaged man. "Stiles, listen to me. This isn't real, I'm really here."I said to him, he had tears in his eyes. "Stiles, she's not here. You're just imagining what you want to."The bandaged man said. "Stiles, don't listen to him. I'm here, I'm here and I'm not going anywhere."I said to him. Stiles looked at me and then to the bandaged man, "She's not real. We're trying to save you, Stiles. We're trying to save your life."He said...

~As Sadie is trying to save Stiles.
The Sheriff, Lydia and Aiden arrive at Eichen House and demand access to the basement. Lydia is sure she feels Stiles there. Indeed the basement looks almost exactly like the one where Stiles and now Sadie seems to be captive but they are nowhere to be found. None of them notice a backwards five scratched on the wall in the Eichen House basement.

*Sadie's pov*
I gasped and I sat up on the couch. "Sadie, are you okay?"Scott asked as he rushed up to me. I nodded and I looked around and only saw Scott, "Where's Mr. Stilinski?"I asked confused. "Lydia called 10 minutes ago, she knows where Stiles is."Scott said. "What, how?"I asked. "She says he's in the mental health center called Eichen House. They have a basement."Scott said. I shook my head and I got off the couch, "He's not gonna be there. The basement, it was all in his head."I said and Scott looked at me confused, "How? But he called you."Scott said. "I don't know."I said. Scott's phone went off and he answered it, "Hello...he wasn't there?...Yeah, she just woke up...She says it's in his head...No, okay...Yeah...Alright, bye."Scott said and then he looked at me, "You were right, he wasn't there. So, where is he?"Scott asked...

~Sheriff's station.
Agent McCall has been reading the transcript of Sadie's phone conversation with Stiles. He's focused on the bit about the smell making Stiles' eyes water. Melissa shows up saying she just finished her shift and wanted to help.
Melissa and her Ex Agent McCall get into his car and start heading somewhere. "So what are you saying?" Melissa asked. "I'm saying the real question might be, how do we know he's not still asleep?" Agent McCall said. "You mean he's been asleep the whole time?"Melissa asks. "Well, people who sleepwalk can do crazy things. One guy goes down to the kitchen and cooks an entire meal. Another guy is found mowing his lawn naked."Agent McCall says. "Why's any of that matter?"Melissa questions. "Remember that townhouse apartment we lived in? There was that one night I came home drunk-"Agent McCall said before Melissa cut him off,"Oh, one night?"She asks. He glanced at her, "Let me finish."He says and she nods. "So I'm drunk, passed out on the bed. I get up to go to the bathroom. Then all of a sudden I hear you yelling "What the hell are you doing?""He said. "Because you were in the closet peeing into the laundry basket."Melissa said. "Yeah, I thought it was the bathroom."He said. "Oh, no, you were drunk off your ass."Melissa said. "Yeah, But I was convinced it was the bathroom."Agent McCall said. "Yeah, so?"Melissa said. "So how do we know he isn't just convinced he's in some kind of basement? And isn't actually there. I think when he called Sadie, he was still asleep. And is still asleep right now."Agent McCall said. "Then where is he?"Melissa asked. "I got an idea about that too."He says.

~Inside Stiles head.
Stiles is deteriorating fast. He is almost convulsing with the shakes and can barely keep his eyes open. "What happened to Sadie?"Stiles asked. "I told you she was just in your head."The Nogitsune says to him. The Nogitsune is drawing another backwards five on the wall."You don't understand, do you? It's a riddle. Do you know any riddles, Stiles?"The Nogitsune asks him. "A few."Stiles says tiredly. "What gets bigger the more you take away?"The Nogitsune asks. "A hole."Stiles says. "What gets wetter the more it dries?"The Nogitsune asks. "A towel."Stiles says and then sniffles. "When is a door not a door?"The Nogitsune says. "When it's ajar."Stiles replies. "Everyone has it, but no one can lose it. What is it?"The Nogitsune asks. "I don't –"Stiles starts and then exhales. "Everyone has it, but no one can lose it. What is it, Stiles?"The Nogitsune says. "I don't- I don't know."Stiles says. "Everyone has it, but no one can lose it!!" The Nogitsune gets more and more agitated until it is screaming in Stiles face. It then grabs the trap attached to Stiles leg and begins to drag him across the floor. He screams and screams,"No! No! No! No!"Stiles says. "No, wait! Wait! Wait!"Stiles yells. "Stiles."Someone says. "Wait! No, Wait!"Stiles screams. "Stiles!"Someone yells. "Wait!"Stiles screams and suddenly he is in Melissa McCall's arms outside the cave where Malia Tate lived as a coyote for eight years."Stiles, you're alright! Okay! You're alright. Stiles, you're alright."Melissa says.

~Argent's apartment.
Isaac is pounding on Allison's door. She has just woken up when she answers it and surprised that everyone was looking for her since she didn't get a call or text. Then she finds her phone was off. She claims she never turns her phone off. As the device starts up, a rush of texts from Scott show up on screen and there are also a bunch of voice mails from "Unknown Number." The recordings are in Japanese.

~Hospital parking lot.
Derek and Aiden give Stiles' Jeep a jump start. "So, you think he was just sleepwalking? Or is there something more to it?"Aiden asks Derek. "In this town there's always something more."Derek replies. "What if I told you I know something more?"Aiden said and Derek looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "I kind of overheard- Well, I listened in on Stiles talking to Scott. How he thinks he was the one who wrote that message in the Chemistry room. The message telling Barrow to kill Kira."Aiden admits. "You think Stiles, skinny, defenseless, Stiles is the Nogitsune? A powerful, dark spirit?"Derek asks in disbelief. "I'm not the only one thinking it. I'm just the only one saying it."Aiden says. "This thing wants to possess someone and chooses Stiles? Why wouldn't it take someone bigger, stronger? Someone with a little more power."Derek said.

~Inside the hospital.
"He's sleeping now and he's just fine. He doesn't remember much. It's a bit like a dream to him."Agent McCall says to Mr. Stilinski. "Thank you."Mr. Stilinski says. "It was that repellent we sprayed in the coyote den to keep other animals out. I couldn't go near it without my eyes watering. It's just a good thing he mentioned it over the phone."Agent McCall said. "No, it was more than that. Thank you."Mr. Stilinski said. "It was a lucky connection."Agent McCall replies. "McCall, can you shut up please and accept my sincerest gratitude."Mr. Stilinski says. Agent McCall smiles, "Accepted."He said.

*Sadie's pov*
Mr. Stilinski walked over and told Scott, Lydia, my mom, and I what my dad had told him and then he looked at Lydia, Scott, and me. "Alright, you three. You've got school in less than six hours. Go home. Go to sleep."Mr. Stilinski said. "Okay."Scott said and He and Lydia and my mom started to walk away. I looked down the hall where I saw my dad talking to someone on the hospital staff.

~Lydia and Scott's conversation.
Lydia is disappointed that her Banshee abilities didn't help find Stiles. She says she was so sure about the Mental Health Clinic. A loud clanging noise begins but only Lydia can hear it. She tells Scott she doesn't hear anything and walks away. Scott looked back at his sister.

*Sadie's pov*
"Sadie, you coming?" Scott asked me and I looked at him. "Yeah, I just got to go do something real quick." I said, from the look on his face he knew what and he nodded, "I'll wait for you here."He said, I took a deep breath and I turned and headed towards our father. He looked up when he heard my foot steps and he said something to who he was talking to and they nodded and walked away. "Sadie, hey."He said. "I just wanted to thank you for finding him."I said. "It's the part of my job that doesn't suck."He said and I smiled a little. I looked down knowing the tears were going to come, "Sadie, Sadie, are you okay?"He asked. I looked up at him and his face dropped a little when he saw I had tears in my eyes, "Did I do-"He started but he stopped when I hugged him. He quickly wrapped his arms around my shoulders and gave me a tight squeeze. I let go, "Thanks dad."I whispered and I turned around and quickly walked down the hall to my brother. I wiped my tears and Scott wrapped his arm around my shoulder and pulled me to him and we headed to his motor bike, I was to tired to fight riding on the death trap.

~Later at school; locker room.
Scott is in the locker room texting Deaton. His message: "Anything yet?" Deaton's reply: "Still working on it."

~School hallway; a bit later.
Scott is preoccupied in the school hallway and seems not to notice when Kira calls out to him. "He's a little preoccupied but I can help you."Derek says. "Why would you want to help me?"Kira asks him. "Because I want you to tell me everything that happened at the power station with William Barrow. Actually, I want you to show me."Derek says.

~Beacon Hills hospital.
The Sheriff and Melissa are discussing Stiles symptoms. They've both come to the same conclusion –Stiles may be suffering from the same disease that killed his mother. The list of symptoms shown: Impulsive, Hallucinations, Insomnia, Night Terrors, Dissociative, and Confusion. The Sheriff concludes that they need to do some tests.

~Power Station.
Kira shows Derek the scene of her kidnapping. There is an aluminum bat (Stiles' bat) magnetized to one of the metal equipment cases. Derek says he needs to know everything Kira does about foxfire (her ability to produce and absorb electricity).

~At school; Mr. Yukimura's classroom.
Allison and Isaac play the Japanese voicemails for Mr. Yukimura. He says the voice is giving instructions to Japanese-Americans as they arrive at internment camps during World War II but he says the recording must be a fake because the camp mentioned in the message, Camp Oak Creek, didn't actually exist in California.
Lydia is hearing all the sounds, locker doors slamming, doors opening, and feet walking amplified to 10+. Scott and Sadie invite her to come see Stiles at the hospital but she decides to go home instead.

~Beacon Hills hospital.
*Sadie's pov*
"I'm not sure I know how to pronounce this or if it's not actually a misspelling."The doctor says talking about Stiles first name. "Just call him Stiles."Mr. Stilinski says. "Okay. Stiles, just to warn you, you're going to hear a lot of noise during the MRI. It's due to pulses of electricity going through metal coils inside the machine. Uh, if you want we can get you earplugs or headphones."The doctor said to him. "Oh, no, no, I don't need anything."Stiles said and the doctor nodded. "Hey, we're just on the other side of that window, Okay?"Mr. Stilinski said to his son talking about the window that sees into this room with the machine. "Okay."Stiles said and the doctor, Scott's and my mom, and Mr. Stilinski went into the other room. Stiles looked at us, he was sitting on the little bed thing in a hospital gown, "You know what they're looking for, right? It's called frontotemporal dementia. Areas of your brain start to shrink. It's what my mother had. It's the only form of dementia that can hit teenagers and there's no cure."Stiles said and my eyes started to water. "Stiles, if you have it, we'll do something."Scott said gesturing to us and I nodded. "Or I'll do something."He said referring to giving him the bite. They hugged each other for a minute before they let go, Scott walked into where our mom, the doctor, and Mr. Stilinski went. Stiles looked at me and saw my eyes watering. He grabbed my hands and pulled me into a hug and a few tears fell from my face. "I can't lose you "I said my voice cracking at the end. He pulled away and looked me in the eyes, "You won't, not if I have anything to say about it."He said and he reached up and wiped my eyes. He leaned forward and connected our lips, I immediately kissed him back and after a minute or two I pulled away. He looked me in the eyes, "I love you so much."He whispered. "I love you too and nothing is going to change that. Not even you having those terrifying nightmare."I said. "You- you were actually there."He asked me surprised and I nodded, "Of course, you were missing. Like I said, I can't lose you."I said, he smiled and pecked my lips really quick. "I should probably leave so the doctor can test you."I said and Stiles laughed, causing me to smile. "Yeah, you probably should."He said and I nodded. I gave him another quick kiss before I pulled away, "I love you."I said as I started to back up out of the room. "I love you too."He said and I smiled and I turned around and walked through the door.

~Outside the hospital
"I don't know if I should go in. You're going to tell Scott and Sadie that Barrow might have used foxfire created by me to jump start the Nogitsune's power inside Stiles."Kira said to Derek. "Yeah and?"Derek asked. "Basically that I helped a dark spirit take control of his best friend, her boyfriend; the boy she's in love with."Kira said. "You should probably wait here."Derek agreed and he walked into the hospital.

~Inside the hospital
Stiles slides into the machine. The noise is makes the same as Lydia heard the night before.

~Lydia's car
Lydia is sitting in her car and can hear the same noise again. She turns up her car radio to try to drown it out.

~Hospital hallway.
"You know the stuff you we're telling me about chemo signals earlier? It reminded me of the time you we're teaching me to use anger to control the shift."Scott said and Derek cut him off, "I think you ended up teaching me more about that."Derek said. "Are you teaching me again?"Scott asked. "Think of it more like sharing a few trade secrets. You know, I took Cora back to South America, right? It's where she spent most of her time after the fire but that's not the only reason I left. I needed to talk to my mother."Derek said. "Your dead mother?"Sadie asked confused. Derek nodded, "She told me something that changed my perspective on a lot of things. She said that my family didn't just live in Beacon Hills. They protected it. This town needs some people to protect it, somebody like you two."Derek said looking at the McCall twins. "And someone like you to teach us a few trade secrets."Scott said and Derek nodded. This connected something in Sadie's mind. "He was trying to protect us."Sadie whispered. "What?"Derek and Scott asked. "He was trying to protect us. Stiles was protecting us, from himself."Sadie said and she ran to get to the roof and Scott and Derek followed her.

~The hospital roof; a few moments later.
"What are we looking for?"Scott asked his sister. "I'm not sure but I think Stiles wasn't just up here struggling with himself. I think he was struggling not to do something."She said and they look and find a bag of tools. Just above them, Scott, Sadie, and Derek see a large gauge electrical wire that has been partially cut. A few sparks fly from it.

~Lydia's car
The noise of Stiles' MRI becomes so loud in Lydia's ears that she lets out a Banshee scream.

~The examination room.
The images of Stiles' brain show atrophy (deterioration) in a couple of different areas. The doctor points to the frontal and parietal lobes.

~Inside the machine.
The noise continues and Stiles looks near to panic. Suddenly the noise is gone and he is standing up. The MRI room is all fuzzy and out of focus. The Nogitsune is there too. "Have you figured out my riddle yet? If you answer correctly, we might consider letting them go."He says. "Letting who go?"Stiles asks. "Your friends, Girlfriend, and Family. Everyone who ever meant something to you. We're going to destroy all of them, Stiles. One-by-one."The Nogitsune says. "Why?"Stiles asks. "Everyone has it, but no one can lose it. What is it?"The Nogitsune says repeating his riddle from earlier and starts to unwrap the bandage on his head. "I don't know."Stiles says. "Everyone has it, but no one can lose it. What is it?"The Nogitsune repeats. "I don't know."Stiles says. "Everyone has it, but no one can lose it. What is it? What is it?"The Nogitsune screams over and over. "I don't know. A shadow!"Stiles says just as the Nogitsune removes the last of the bandages revealing that he now has Stiles face.
Stiles awakes in the MRI machine but he is no longer himself. A power surge dims the lights briefly. Stiles leaves the room in the darkness.

~The roof.
The cut power cable on the roof explodes knocking out power to the hospital.

~Inside the hospital.
Stiles calmly ties his shoes and makes his way down the hall to where Mrs. Yukimura is waiting in the elevator.
"What was that?"Mr. Stilinski says. "It sounded like a power surge."The doctor said and Mr. Stilinski runs into the room that Stiles was in, "Where's my son?"He says and a woman over the PA system says,"Dr. Bender to the mental ward please."

~Hospital hallway.
"You know me."Mrs. Yukimura said and Nogitsune Stiles nods. "Then you remember that I won't be deterred by your choice of host. Even if it's an innocent boy."She says. "Are you threatening us?"Nogitsune Stiles asks calmly. Two Oni's appear flanking Mrs. Yukimura,"Now I'm threatening you."She says. "We're not really afraid of your little fireflies."Nogitsune Stiles replies. "If the Oni's can't defeat you, I know someone who will."She said and Nogitsune Stiles smiles at this.

~Outside the hospital.
Kira watches as the severed power line whips around and off the roof flying straight at her face.
