Derek and I head for the high school as Scott stayed with the sheriff and Isaac went to check on Allison. Lydia and Aiden were still at Stiles's house trying to figure out where he was.
"Did you get anything?" I asked Derek. I searched the boiler room as he ran down the halls.
"His scent is almost everywhere but nothing fresh enough for him to be here tonight." Derek says. I look around the room one more time.
"We'll find him." Derek says.
"Yeah. Let's check again but this time thoroughly. We don't want him to hide in the chemical closet like Barrow did." I mumbled. Derek nods his head as we walk up the stairs. I stop halfway up the stairs as there was a sharp pain at my temples. I shut my eyes and grab onto the wall.
We're trying to save you, Stiles. We're trying to save your life.
"Stiles?"
"Alexis?" I open my eyes and see Derek grabbing my hands off of the wall.
"Did you hear that?" I asked him. He looks at me concerned.
"Hear what?" I look around but it was just Derek and I.
"Its nothing. I think I'm just tired." I shake it off as we get to floor level. We check half of the classrooms before the pain in my temples return. I stop in the middle of the hall.
"Alexis." Derek looks at me. I could feel my eyes glowing. I look and see two green lights reflecting off of a classroom doors window.
"Everyone has it, but no one can lose it. What is it?" The words come out of my mouth easily. I stare at the green lights beam.
"Everyone has it, but no one can lose it. What is it, Stiles?" I repeat but louder. I turn my head and face Derek. He doesn't respond to the question as I wore an angry expression.
"Everyone has it, but no one can lose it." I yell. I collapse to the ground blacking out.
My eyes flutter open as I look around. I was laying down in Stiles's jeep. What the hell is going on?
"Alexis?" Derek opens the jeep door.
"What happened?" I asked as I sat up rubbing my head.
"Your green eyes were glowing. Speaking to me about a riddle. You sounded like you were talking to Stiles." I shake my head not remembering that. The last thing I remember was standing in the hallway. I look my hands unsure. What the hell is going on with me?
"Did they find Stiles?" I look up at him as he nods his head.
"Yeah, they found him a few minutes ago. He's inside the hospital." Derek nods back. I get out of the jeep and see Aiden standing next to the jeep. Derek pulls out the jumper cables. He was going to jump start the jeep.
"So, you think he was just sleepwalking? Or is there something more to it?" Aiden says.
"In this town there's always something more." Derek says.
"What if I told you I know something more? I kind of overheard Well, I listened in on Stiles talking to Scott and Lexy. How he thinks he was the one who wrote that message in the Chemistry room. The message telling Barrow to kill Kira."
"You think Stiles, skinny, defenseless, Stiles is the Nogitsune? A powerful, dark spirit?" Derek says with amusement.
"I'm not the only one thinking it. I'm just the only one saying it." Aiden says.
"This thing wants to possess someone and chooses Stiles? Why wouldn't it take someone bigger, stronger? Someone with a little more Power." Derek thinks for a minutes.
"Me." I look down at the ground. Derek shakes his head.
"Its not you. Why don't you go inside and check on Stiles." Derek says as I nod my head. He walks over to me and kisses my lips. I sat in the waiting room with Lydia and Scott. Mama McCall, the sheriff and Rafael stood there.
"He's sleeping now. And he's just fine. He doesn't remember much. It's a bit like a dream to him." The sheriff tells us as I sigh in relief.
"Thank you." the sheriff turns to Rafael. Wait, what? He found him?
"It was that repellent we sprayed in the coyote den to keep other animals out. I couldn't go near it without my eyes watering. It's just a good thing he mentioned it over the phone." Rafael says.
"No, it was more than that. Thank you." The sheriff thanks him again shaking his head.
"It was a lucky connection." Rafael says again. For god sakes man, just say you are welcome!
"McCall, can you shut up please and accept my sincerest gratitude." The sheriff says.
"Accepted." Rafael says as the two men shake hands.
"All right, you three. You've got school in less than six hours. Go home. Go to sleep." Mama McCall tells us.
"Okay." Scott says. For some reason I couldn't find myself moving to join Scott and Lydia to go home. Something was pulling me to Stiles. Something was telling me that I need to stay here.
"I'm staying." I say bluntly. Everyone looks at me.
"I need to stay. I can't sleep. Please." Mama McCall nods her head.
I sat back down in the waiting room. Derek came in for a little bit. He let me sleep on his shoulder for a few hours before he had to take care of business. He said he tell me about it once he was 100% sure about it. I trusted him. Once morning hit, more like daylight hit they started running tests on Stiles nonstop.
After a few hours the sheriff and Mama McCall stepped out of his room letting me see him. He was sound asleep as I held his hand. It was cold. I could see the veins clear through his white skin. I rub circles using my thumb on his hand as my eyes started tearing up. I knew what they were looking for. No one had to tell me. What Claudia Stilinski had. All the symptoms made sense. We just didn't want it to.
