The forest was silent. It felt wrong that it was this silent Stiles thought. He felt unsettled. He knew Kyle was just as unsettled as he was.
Malia was looking at them, frowning. She noticed the fox's were tenser than normal. She was a little nervous but not as nervous as they looked.
"You okay? You both reek of nerves" She asked them.
Stiles wiped away sweat from his forehead. His hands were shaking.
"I don't know" Stiles said shaking his head, he'd never felt like this before going up against a creature "I don't know why I feel so-"
Kyle answered simply but with frustration "It's because we're going to face our supernatural predator. The Kikiyaon is basically for killing Kitsune. We have supernatural predators that really affect us and natural predators that our instincts will warn us away from but isn't that strong"
"What's our natural predator?" Stiles wondered.
Kyle smirked as he glanced at Malia and he said "Coyote and Wolves, though competition not prey"
His grin became wider as Stiles turned pink at his words.
"I don't think your fox sees me like that" Malia said, looking amused.
He turned more serious as they got deeper into the woods and asked her "What about you?"
She looked sad as she said simply "Humans"
Stiles startled and said quickly "You didn't see me as-?"
"No, never you" She told him honestly, looking into his eyes.
Kyle rolled his eyes and mimed throwing up.
Stiles chuckled, elbowing him in response. Kyle cringed but took it well.
But he quickly stopped, his eyes wide. He held out his hand out, stopping Malia and Stiles in their tracks before they could react he shushed them quickly. He looked even more pale.
Stiles with-held a gasp as a giant shape moved up above them. The shape was so huge it blocked out any light through the trees. Its wings span so big that every time the wings hit the air Kyle, Malia and Stiles could feel the wind ruffling their hair.
It flow ahead of them.
They watched it with eyes wide. Kyle and Stiles felt terror race through their veins without their control.
After disappearing they all looked at each other.
"It didn't see us?" Stiles hissed.
"Maybe..." Kyle said but his tone was strange, Stiles and Malia couldn't pinpoint why.
They went in the direction the owl flow. After a couple of minutes of walking, Kyle and Malia were both dragged suddenly behind a tree by Stiles. Kyle stumbled a little bit not expecting Stiles strength. Though he tensed as he saw why Stiles had pulled them behind the tree. Almost right in front of them a huge oak tree stood before them, proud and strong despite its age but that wasn't the surprising part.
The surprising part was there was thousands of roots interlocking and intertwining, creating a cave underneath. A huge shadow going into the cave.
They glanced at each other at the same time.
Kyle took a deep breath in and stepped in front, leading the way.
"Okay, lets go"
