"Good morning, Sheriff Stilinski!" I chirped gleefully as the door swung open. The Sheriff's eyes widened in surprise and he quickly stepped aside so I could come in. I bounced into the house, slipping past him.
"M-Morning, Bailey," He stumbled and I grinned brightly. "What do you have there?" He gazed down to the bag in my hand and I laughed. Of course, how could I have forgotten?
"Well, you see, since it is Sunday, I thought I could bring Stiles some breakfast!" I explained, holding up the "April's Bakery" bag and a cup with steaming hot chocolate. "It's a bit cold out so, I brought hot chocolate too!"
"Oh, I'm sure he'll appreciate that. He's in his room. I'm on my way out so..." Sheriff Stilinski paused and I smiled. Quickly, I placed the bag on the table by the door and leaned forward before wrapping him in a hug.
"Later, Sheriff!" I beamed, ignoring how he seemed to freeze in my grip before he relaxed and returned the gesture.
"Bye, Bailey," He replied and I pulled back, giving a wave. He headed out the door and I closed it behind him.
With that, I grinned before rushing up the stairs and to the room I had become familiar with. As I creaked open the door, a soft noise greeted me.
"Morning, Stilinski!" I exclaimed with my back to the bed as I placed the bag and cup on Stiles' desk. "I brought some food!"
"No, no, no! Don't let them in!" I spun around and gaped at the figure on the bed. Stiles thrashed around in a panic, crying out in what seemed like pain.
"Stiles?" I gasped, rushing over to his side and grabbing his wrist. He pushed me away and continued to scream out. I jumped back up and this time, grabbed both of his wrists and held his body slightly stiller than before.
"Stiles wake up! It's a nightmare! Wake up!" I pleaded as he repeatedly escaped my grip. Suddenly, his eyes fluttered open and he rammed his back into the wall.
"Stiles, it's me!" I cried out and his chestnut eyes quickly registered me as his friend. He slumped forward, gasps still escaping his lips as he tried to calm himself.
"It was a dream. It was a dream," He repeated, gazing down at his fingers that he counted slowly even though they shook. Eventually, his breaths grew normal and he looked up at me, tears threatening to erupt.
"Bailey, I'm scared," He admitted, his voice cracking. It wasn't hard for me to see. He trembled as if he had been attacked and his eyes were wide and dilated. He had wrapped his arms around his legs that he pulled up to his chest and his lower lip quivered.
"Hey, it's okay. You're okay," I reassured him, inched onto the bed. He moved over and I sat down next to him, cautiously placing a hand on his shoulder. He flinched and I winced at how much that hurt. If Scott was here, he probably wouldn't have flinched like that.
"What happened?" I asked softly and his eyes slowly made their way up to mine. I gasped at how broken they looked and he opened his mouth to speak before closing it.
"I-I think something's wrong," He stuttered and I knew that he was right.

"You don't understand. Something's happening to him," I protested. Here we were, in the living of Stiles' house. I had called everyone over to discuss what was happened.
"It's not just him," Scott murmured and all eyes darted up at him, "I've been having problems too."
"Me too," Allison nodded and my heart sank. All three of them and I hadn't realized it. I shut my eyes and concentrated on their emotions. Had I just not been paying attention?
In a wave, Scott's despair hit me, almost knocking me back. A tingling shock started in my chest and spread throughout my body. Flashes of images of seemed to be him losing control flickered across my mind and I began to draw in breaths quicker. Allison's emotion of confusion and distress followed. Scenes of her and Kate were revealed to me. My stomach dropped at how horrible these effects were on them.
I opened my eyes and gasped, greedily taking in air. Lydia glanced at me, cocking an eyebrow and I shook her off.
"How do we fix it?" I managed to ask and Scott sighed.
"I don't know," He mumbled and I rolled my eyes in annoyance.
"Great! How will we fix this now?" I growled, slamming my hand on the table. Damn it!
"Bailey, don't let the feelings get to you," Isaac reminded and I froze. Crap.
"Sorry," I muttered before slinking back to Stiles' side. He sat on the couch, still trembling. His hair was everywhere and the t-shirt he wore was crinkled from the thrashing. He looked up at me, giving a small smile before gazing back down at his hands. He was still counting.
"Look, Deaton told us that when we died, another door opened- In our minds. We just have to close it," Scott remarked and I snorted before clenching my hand. Control yourself!
"Okay, so, that's it?" Allison murmured, "We just close the door?"
"I guess," Scott replied and I breathed in sharply. Sure, that's the plan.
"I-I do-don't k-know h-how to c-close i-it," Stiles stuttered and I weakly put a hand on his shoulder.
"Just-Just find a way," Scott snapped and I felt the anger radiating off him. It was taking control.
"Scott, calm down," I lowered my voice and Scott looked up, his eyes flashing red.
"No! Stiles just needs to shut up and do it. I'm doing it and so is Allison. He needs to quit being a baby and stop acting like he's going crazy!" Scott roared, digging his claws into his hand. Stiles looked up, the hurt erupting from him and I gulped back my power.
"Look, Scott, get out," I growled, "All of you."
"You can't kick us out. It isn't your house," 'Scott' sneered.
"Yes, she can. Get out," Stiles spoke up, grabbing my hand. "Leave."
"Whatever," Scott stormed out, Allison following with a frown on her face. Isaac gave a sad wave before leaving. Lydia looked like she was going to say something but, she just gave a weak smile before following the group out.
"It's okay," I hugged Stiles as the sobs began and he shook with the racks of tears. "You'll be okay."
