Lydia's pov:
Stiles carefully caresses his shoulder with one hand, wincing slightly at the pain while taking shallow breaths.
"Won't it feel like I'm freezing myself?" He asks.

"How would we know?" Scott says, folding his arms in front of his chest. With a bit of hesitation, frost spirals out of Stiles palm and onto his open wound. He gasps at first but after awhile gets used to it. This goes on for a few moments until he pulls back, the deep gash completely gone.
"That was easier than it sounded at first." He chuckles. "What's next?"

"Inner mind control." Allison states, flipping through the book. I sit criss crossed in my desk chair, Stiles standing while Allison and Scott sit on the window sill. The whole situation was frustrating like a new level of some game. Stiles had to be able to control a certain portion of his "gift" in order to obtain another until it was time to find the Yuki.

"What the hell does that mean?" Stiles furrows his brows.
"This." Scott steps forward and punches Stiles straight in the head. He falls to the floor, completely knocked out.
"Okay, now I'm confused..." I say. Allison passes the book to me and I read.

Inner mind control. Ability or strength to be able to protect oneself while still unconscious or weak.

"How are we gonna do that?" I ask, but Scott already has his claws out, inching closer to Stiles limp body. He drags one of the nails down the length of Stiles arm, not putting enough pressure to draw blood, just scratching the surface. Stiles twitches a little and Scott goes back up to his shoulder, this time dragging down two fingers.

I didn't really understand, Scott going on until he reached four fingers. He looks over his shoulder at me before digging one of the nails into Stiles arm and pulling out a little blood. Stiles face scrunched up and he twitches again. He digs the nail in deeper until it's completely embedded in the flesh and I want to throw up. Suddenly, Stiles other arm grips onto Scott, pushing him away while the boy still remained unconscious.

"That didn't take long." Allison mumbles. It took another hour for Stiles to wake up and when he did we immediately continued with the process. He'd learned how to make snow float in midair, make impenetrable ice (great for shields I guess) and some other stuff that I was out of the room for because I got a little bored.

They came downstairs a little while later as I played with my hands, leaning over the counter.
"Scared?" Stiles snakes behind me, wrapping us in a backwards hug. Scared of going to the Yuki or scared of him getting hurt? Both.
"No." I lie, turning to face him.

"You'll be fine. I'll protect you." He smirks and I roll my eyes.
"I'm scared for you. I don't care about me." I say.
"Yeah, but I do." He dips down, kissing me gently on the lips and I smile. I just don't want to lose him.
