Waking up the next morning, and of course,  I'm sick. My throat is scratchy and I have a runny nose and if Theo was here, he'd bitch at me for not dressing for the weather. Then, he'd try to make me feel better..but like excuse me I'm not a werewolf or a chimera-it's not 180° and rising over here(if no one gets that reference then you have failed this city)

Anyways, I get up, shower, and get some herbal tea to try to help me feel better. My phone goes off, but I ignore it. If it's important, they'll leave a message.

I decide to go get some food that's not pizza, so I go to my closet and look for something warm to wear. It's cold...it's been abnormally, and obnoxiously cold. No matter how many layers I put on, I'm still cold.

And I know why.

Anyways, as I'm looking, I see a box way in the back of my closet. It's my Ouija board that I haven't used since-since me and Cora tried to get Lydia to understand her powers better.

Then a freaking light bulb goes off in my head.

Maybe, just maybe, I can talk to Theo through this!

Okay, so just hear me out: I know how to use this thing. I know how shit goes down in horror movies, and I know no sane person would willingly use one of these, but I gonna embrace my moms side of the the family and do this.

Quickly getting dressed, I grab all my stuff and head out to the last place where I was with him.

*half hour later*

"Okay," I say, taking a deep breath. "Please please let this work." I light the candles, and get comfortable.

"Is there anyone here?" I call out. I wait a good 30 seconds, and the board piece moves to "yes."

"Can I-Can I speak to Theo?"

"Yes."

"Theo, are you there?"

"Yes."

I immediately start crying.

"Is this really him?"

"Yes."

See, I know how tricky talking to the dead can be, so if I actually want to believe this is him, I have to ask personal questions.

"What was I wearing on our first date?"

The board spells out the word, "plaid." Which is correct, I was wearing one of his flannels.

"What movies my favorite video game?"

"Assassins Creed: Revelations"

It is him ohmygod!

"Please, please tell you how to bring you back. I can't do this without you, Theo." I say as I break down crying.

The board spells out, "yes you can."

"No I can't!" I scream. "I need you! Nothing feels right without you, Theo! I love you, please please tell me how to bring you back!"

"I love you too."

"I have to go..."

"Goodbye."

"No, please do-" I get interrupted, again, by my phone going off. I get and see that it's a text from Scott:

"Hey, can you meet Lydia and I at Stilinski's house?"
