Kindred Spirits {Stiles Stilinski: Book Two}

Chapter 23

"That was definitely less awkward than I thought it would be." I admit. "Why did you think it would be awkward?" Stiles questions snuggling me closer. "We're two of the most awkward people I know, so it was kind of a given." I reply.

"I'm guessing having sex in the basement of a mental asylum wasn't your ideal romantic fantasy." Stiles says.

"Who need's rose petals and candles, when I've got you?" I ask. "I promise to give you the most romantic second time when this is all over." Stiles replies. "I'll be holding you to it Stilinski." I state. Stiles puts his head in the crook of my neck placing quick kisses there.

We were so in the moment it was like all of our problems had faded away. Of course they didn't, they were right in front of us. Ready to pull the carpet out any minute.

"Stiles wait, come here." I say. I walk over to the five on the wall and knock on it. The wall is hollow. Stiles grabs a pipe and starts knocking down the wall. Once enough is knocked down, we find a dead body.

"This is him." Stiles states. "This is the nogitsune? Now I know why he chose a body like yours." I mutter. "Now is not the time." Stiles says. I reach in and go through his pockets. There is a picture in his jacket pocket.

"Holy shit Stiles. This picture has to be at least 50 years old. Kira must have a doppelganger or something." I state. Stiles takes the picture from my hands. "We have to get this to Scott." Stiles says. I feel electricity pulsing through me and I fall to the ground.

Oliver then does the same to Stiles. "You took Brunski's keys. I took his stun gun. I also got his Haldol." Oliver says. He injects the Haldol into my leg and I black out.

I wake up strapped to a chair. "Stiles?" I question groggily. He turns around and smirks at me. "Not exactly." The nogitsune replies. Before I can get out of the restraints, Stiles is gone. Malia comes into the basement.

"I saw Stiles leave, but you never came out. What happened to you?" Malia asks untying the straps. "I'll explain on the way, you still want to learn how to change?" I question. "Yes." Malia answers. "Then come with me. I'm gonna get you out of here. I have to do a few things first, but I'll find you." I reply picking up the picture Stiles dropped on the floor.

"Where's Stiles?" Scott questions. "Trapped inside his mind. The nogitsune took over a little while ago." I state. "I'm so sorry." Scott replies. "There's something I need to show you." I say pulling out the picture.

Scott observes it with furrowed eyebrows. "Why do you have a picture of Kira?" Scott questions. "Stiles and I found it on the nogitsune's dead body. I don't think it is Kira. You should call her and ask about it." I answer.

"What are you going to do?" Scott asks. "I'm gonna go tell Stilinski that I lost his son, again." I reply. Scott nods and gives me a sad smile. "We're gonna find a way to get him back." Scott assures. "I sure hope so." I say.

I walk into the station to deliver the news. Stiles was supposed to be in Eichen for another day, so he probably has no idea. I knock on the door of his office. "Hey, can I come in?" I question. "Of course Lia. What is it?" Stilinski asks.

"Well, you've known me for awhile, and have probably gathered that I am extremely stubborn. That led to me breaking into Eichen House to keep an eye on Stiles. Despite the security of Eichen, Stiles, well not Stiles, the nogitsune got out and I don't know where he is." I confess.

Stilinski rubs his forehead, one of his stressful mannerisms. I see Chris, Derek, and Parrish in some kind of argument. "I should take care of that." Stilinski states. He comes back with Derek and Chris. "The specialist I saw in LA told me the things that every doctor says when he's trying to avoid a lawsuit. 'We can't say for sure.' And then I spoke to Melissa." Stilinski starts.
