"Is he okay?" Kara asked as she followed me outside. I needed to be outside where it was cool. Laying next to Stiles in that room, worrying about him, it was difficult. I needed to clear my head. If it would've been anyone else following me outside I would've told them to go away, but Kara was different for some reason. She reminded me of my sister, in a way. 

"No," I replied with a sigh, leaning against the cool brick wall. Kara stood beside me, her lips pressed firmly together as if she had something to say, but didn't want to say it. "I know we need to find Scott and Malia. I know they're in danger because of me, because I'm the one those people really want. But Stiles is in danger too, and I think that if Scott was here, he'd tell me to help Stiles first. So we really need a plan, and soon."

Kara jumped on the balls of her feet at this, hands flying to my leather jacket and gripping the material. "I almost forgot! We figured out a plan! I mean, it's not the safest, smartest, or best plan ever, but it's a plan. It might work!" She smiled big as I carefully pried her hands from my jacket with a small chuckle. "Sorry," she murmured.  

"What's the plan, Kara?" I asked, turning to face her. 

She nodded quickly, taking a breath. "Okay, so I don't have the power to reverse the spell on Stiles. Not yet, anyways. I do, however, have the power to disguise myself as whoever I want for a full 24 hours. So if I can turn myself into Stiles and accidentally get caught, then I can find Marcus' spell book and his power source. I know where he keeps it all, I just need time."

"What do the rest of us do?" I replied, drawing my eyebrows together. It wasn't the worst plan ever, but there had to be something I could do to help. Kara couldn't do this all on her own. 

"Right, I almost forgot about that part," she mumbled, shaking her head. "You, Will, and Liam are going to cause a. . . distraction, I guess you could call it. Cause a lot of trouble in the opposite side of the building, draw out as much of the coven as possible. I can take care of the rest, I think. As soon as I get everything and get out, I'll do a spell that will let you guys know I'm out." She raised an eyebrow, waiting for me to tell her what I thought. In all honesty, I wouldn't have been able to think of a better plan. "Oh, and Charlie will stay here with Stiles and Scott," she added. "He's the weakest out of you three, but he can handle Stiles, as long as Stiles stays asleep. I can do something about that too. A spell that will keep him under for a day, same amount of time my disguise spell will last."

I nodded slowly in understanding. "I like it. I think it could work, but no one tells Stiles about this. He'll want to help and he's in no shape for fighting."

"Deal," Kara responded with a half smile. "And we're leaving soon, so I'll have to cast the spell in about an hour, or two. If you want to spend some time with him before we leave. . ."

"I should do it now," I finished with a sharp exhale. "Alright. Do the others know what's going on?" Kara nodded, grabbing a fistful of my sleeve and pulling me towards the door. "Okay, okay," I muttered, trying not to laugh at her. "I'm going."
