Kindred Spirits {Stiles Stilinski: Book Two}

Chapter 15

Malia takes off again and we try our best to follow her. Since she's in full animal form, she is faster than us. We lose her. Stiles comes out of nowhere. We all scream.

"I think I found something." Stiles states. "So did we." Scott says. Stiles leads us to a small coyote den. "It's a coyote den." Stiles says. "Werecoyote." Scott corrects.

Stiles bends down and picks up a blue jacket. "You see this? This is Malia's. Remember, it's the same one she was wearing in the photo." Stiles states. "We shouldn't be in here." Scott says. "I didn't even think about that. Crap." I reply.

"What do you mean?" Stiles asks. "She's not going to come back now. We just invaded her home. Our scent's going to be everywhere." Scott explains. "If she's not going to come back here, where's she going to go?" Stiles questions.

"I don't know." Scott answers. "Can you track her now? You think you got her scent?" Stiles asks. "Maybe. But I'm better at this when I'm full wolf. And I'm still worried that if I do it, I won't be able to turn back." Scott admits.

"The door's still open." Stiles sighs. "I could get a lock on her scent." I state. "If I can't get to Derek, we're gonna have to find someone else to help. This is basically a crime scene right? I think it might be a little out of my boss' league." Scott says. "And more my dad's." Stiles states.

We call Stiles' dad and he sends a few officers with him to inspect the den. "You're sure it was her?" Stilinski asks. "I looked her right into the eyes, and they glowed just like mine." Scott states. "It makes sense dad." Stiles says.

"But it wasn't a girl. It was a four legged coyote right?" Stilinski questions. "See that's the point, we haven't exactly have figured out yet. Okay, but if it was a full moon and she did change while her mom was driving, then anything could have happened. Horrible things could have happened. Ripping, shredding, tearing things." Stiles explains.

"Which is probably what caused the accident." I elaborate. "Think about it dad alright. They're driving, Malia starts to change, she goes out of control, the mom crashes and everybody dies." Stiles states. "Except for Malia." Scott interjects.

"She blames herself, alright, goes off running into the woods and eventually becomes trapped inside the body of a coyote." Stiles finishes. "That makes sense. In Chinese folklore. This is insane." Stilinski says. "I could turn into a four legged wolf right in front of your face. A girl turning into a coyote isn't very far fetched for me." I argue.

"I need this to be kept quiet. The three of you, not a word. I don't want anyone hearing about this. I especially don't want Mr. Tate hearing about this." Stilinski states. Scott spaces out, probably hallucinating. "Scott!" I yell bringing him back to reality.

"What did you say?" Scott questions. Rafael McCall comes onto the scene accompanied by Mr. Tate. "Dad." Scott says getting his attention. "I'll talk to you in a minute. I wouldn't mind hearing how your mom's okay with you running around the woods this late." Rafael states.

After a lecture from Saint McCall, we went back home. Well not home, I went back to Stiles'. Melissa understands the situation and basically let's me live there. I refer to it as home sometimes.

I can tell that something is on Stiles' mind, he won't be able to sleep until he gets answers. "Okay, what is it? What's on your mind?" I ask. "I was just wondering about you, what even happened when you'd turn into a wolf? I know about the bones breaking, but you've never told me much else." Stiles answers.

"Well, after I transform, I blackout. I could be in that form for up to a few days and not have any control over it. When I turn back, I wake up not remembering anything. That's about it." I explain. "You don't remember anything at all?" Stiles questions.
