Kindred Spirits {Stiles Stilinski: Book Two}

Chapter 19

You should go home. Get some real sleep. I'll survive one night without you." Stiles says. "Are you sure?" I question. "I'm positive. See you tomorrow." Stiles says "If you need anything, no matter how late, just call me." I state. "I will." Stiles replies.

"I love you." I say. "I love you too." Stiles responds. I give him a quick kiss on the lips and head to my house for some well deserved rest. I can't help but feel uneasy about this. I'm too tired to think about it anymore.

I was having the best sleep I've had in awhile until Scott starts yelling. "Isaac! Isaac get up. I need your help Isaac!" Isaac and I run into Stiles' room. "What's wrong?" Isaac questions. "You aren't supposed to be here." Scott says.

"Well, I am. What's wrong?" I ask. "It's Stiles." Scott says. "What's wrong with Stiles?" I question. "I don't know." Scott answers. I rush to put clothes on and go back to Scott. "What are you doing?" Scott asks.

"What do you think I'm doing? I'm going to look for my boyfriend." I state. "About that. Stiles made me promise not to tell you or his dad. He can't know you know." Scott says. "Why the hell would he do that?" I question. "He said you worry about him too much." Scott answers.

Scott's phone starts ringing. "Did you call him? Did you call my dad? Did you tell Lia?" Stiles questions. "No. Just Isaac. We're coming to find you. Can you figure out where you are? Try to find something to tell us where to look." Scott instructs.

"It's a basement. I think I'm in some kind of basement." Stiles states. "In a house?" Scott questions. "No. It looks bigger. I think there's a furnace, but it's cold. It's freezing down there. I gotta turn my phone off. It's going to die." Stiles says.

"Wait, wait, wait. What else is there? What do you see?" Scott asks. "The phones' dying. I can't talk. I have to go." Stiles replies. "Please Stiles, why are you whispering?" Scott questions. "Because I think there's someone in here with me." Stiles answers. The line then goes dead.

I hadn't realized that my hands were shaking until Scott grabs a hold of them. "We'll find him. I promise." Scott assures. I take a deep breath and push my emotions aside. "We need to go to his house." I state.

Once we step though his bedroom door, we see Lydia and Aiden. All of the strings on his investigation board are tied to a pair of scissors that are stabbed into his mattress. "How did you know? Did he call you too?" Scott questions.

"I heard it." Lydia answers. "Don't ask. It gets more confusing when you ask." Aiden says. "Not as confusing as this." Isaac states. "He uses red for unsolved cases. I swear his room wasn't like this a few hours ago." I say.

"Maybe he thinks he's part of an unsolved case." Aiden suggests. "Or is an unsolved case." Isaac says. "Hold on. Is he still out there? You don't know where he is?" Lydia questions. "He said he was in an industrial basement somewhere. We came here to get a better scent." Scott explains.

"What else did he say?" Lydia asks. "Something's wrong with his leg. It's bleeding." Scott answers. "And he's freezing." Isaac elaborates. "Tonight's the coldest night of the year. It's going to drop into the 20s." Aiden informs us.

"What did his dad say?" Lydia questions. "We kind of didn't tell him yet." Scott says. "Stiles is bleeding and freezing and you didn't call his dad?" Lydia asks. "He made me promise not to. We can find him by scent. If he was sleepwalking he couldn't have gotten far right?" Scott questions.
