Long story short we eventually find ourselves (Stiles, Malia and I) in the basement after Malia helps break Stiles out and I get them down into the underground level through a series of secret separated units and hidden passage ways.

As we all skeptically look around the basement around us I watch as Stiles traces his fingers over
type of symbol engraved into the wall. Making my way over to him I squint my eyes trying to figure out what it stands for. "Self." Stiles reads out loud. "It's the Japanese symbol for 'self'." He repeats, now in more detail.

Hours pass as the three of us shift through papers and give into Malia's begs at telling her what's really going on. I mean she is helping us with this, the girl at least deserves an explanation.

As Malia is lost in the world of papers across the room from Stiles and I, Stiles speaks up, but just light enough for only me to hear. "I need to show you something..." He says shifting closer to me as I turn to see his back facing me as he lifts up the back of his shirt exposing his skin. At first I'm confused, until I see the marks. Marks as if he had been struck my lightning. "Stiles." I breath out tracing the fading marks with my fingers causing him to shiver at my touch. Facing back to me my eyes are sure to read concern as he looks into them, taking my cold hands into his own. Before I get the chance to ask him anything a loud thump is heard causing the both of us to jump slightly looking over to Malia. Seeing her punch into the wall next to the symbol once more I now pay more attention to the sound it makes.

An echo. Echo House. Everything echo's in here. As if it's... Hallow. The wall is hallow.

Fallowing Stiles up he begins to beat the wall with some sort of pipe. Each crash into the bricks brings down more and more of it, exposing what lies inside.

Swallowing deeply, sure not to show my fear as I face the mummy looking creature that lies dead inside. There has to be some sort of skeleton underneath all these bandages. Something. "That's it. That's the Nogitsune." I hear Stiles explain making my stomach drop even more. Malia then leans forwards taking a picture from the creatures pocket and handing it over to Stiles.

But that's the last thing I can remember... Before I forcefully was consumed by darkness once again.

Stile's P.O.V.

I sudden thud is heard not even seconds before I find myself catching Cassidy just before she crashes to the ground. Quickly facing behind us Oliver stands with a smirk and two tazers in his hands. One for me. One for Malia.

Within minutes Malia and I tie up to a beam back to back as I closely watch Oliver as he goes on about how some time ago doctors believed in drilling holes into peoples heads to relieve them
of mental illnesses such as depression. My breaths heavy as I desperately try breaking the rope that has me tied to the pole. He has Cassidy's unconscious body strapped down to some table that they use to perform injections and other treatments where the crazies are meant to stay still. But this isn't anything like that. "Oliver you don't need to do this." I try reasoning, somehow inside knowing that my attempt at kind words won't change a thing.

"Oh, but I do Stiles, you see I'm just gonna rid you guys of the evil." He explains turning on the drill and pacing the room a bit. Feeling Malia try and break loose, nothing works.

"Start with her..." I hear the chilling voice speak up. The Nogitsune. Following the voice with my eyes they land on the bandaged up creature that we had found in the wall... The same one that has been haunting my dreams. Oliver suddenly becomes alert to the commend making his way to Cassidy. "PLEASE, STOP-" I scream as it feels like the only thing I can hear is the sound of the drill getting closer to her head.

The muffled voice of the creature becomes evident. "Let me in, Stiles." It commands as my eyes squeeze shut and I wish that this is just another nightmare- But it's not. This is real. This is happening and right in front of me. "You'll be all better soon Cass." Oliver whispers to her, truly believing that what he's about to do needs to be done for some type of greater good.

The Nogitsune has somehow gotten into his head.

"LEAVE HER ALONE!" I scream to the best of my ability, voice cracking and body violently trembling. "LET ME IN!" The evil being's screams seem to shake everything around me as I watch the drill start to touch her hair.

Taking in a deep breath I see no other option other then giving up and giving in. So that's what I was left to do...

Let him in.
