Stiles slowly stepped in front of Scott.

"It knows we're here. It'll go for the first thing it sees"

"Stiles-"

"I know how to deal with it. You don't. You think I would come here without knowing how to deal with it"

Stiles was no longer whispering, not holding back on his voice.

"What even is it?!"

Stiles glanced at him as he said strangely hesitant "Uh, I'll tell you later"

Why did Scott decide he did not like that answer?!

Fingers came around the door and the melody started again, though it definitely sounded like singing, only the strangest thing was that the melody sounded far to guttural to be human.

The fingers scraped against the door. They were grey, almost ashen. The nails were also far to long to be human.

The sound stopped suddenly but then-

"Is anybody in there?"

Stiles and Scott stiffened at the same time.

That voice.

It sounded human but at the same time far to soft and a strange noise to it, like it was scraping its voice against a chalk board and its voice was the nails.

"I heard someone moving"

"I heard someone talking"

"Scott, stay still. Don't do anything unless I tell you too, okay?" Stiles said, eyes glued to the door.

Scott gulped, nodding.

"I heard everyone died in this town years ago, so why are there voices?"

The door slowly pushed itself open.

The fingers tapping on the door as it opened.

"So why is there breathing? I stopped this towns breath years ago"

Scott glanced at the boy sleeping, his chest going up and down.

No...

Just a memory. This kid had died years ago if the blood that spread from his bed was anything to go by, just like Stiles had said.

Then that strange melody began to start up again as the door fully opened, revealing finally what was behind.

The skin was ashen and crusted, hanging loosely of the body. It's eyes looked more like snake eyes and it's nose was just holes on its face.

It was hairless and it's toe nails where just as unnaturally long as it's nails.

Its mouth was full of sharp teeth, reminding Scott of the mouth of a shark.

It opened its mouth wide, the strange melody coming out of it.

"Cover your ears!" Stiles snapped.

Scott followed Stiles order without hesitation.

He couldn't take his eyes of the creature.

Then suddenly it's skin opened up under its mouth and then it talked, through the opened up skin? Scott realised with disgust that it seemed to have two mouths.

The melody still playing but now it could speak at the same time.

"I can see you, now I will see you join the people of this town"

"I don't think so" Stiles said, suddenly sounding more confident.

"You know..." Stiles added, he slowly unwrapped the vortex manipulator from his wrist then with a slight tug, easily opened it up.

The strange circuit that Scott couldn't make sense of, was easy to see.

"I always wondered what would happen if-"

He pointed to two odd looking wires on the alien circuit.

"-there two connect. You see one of them is responsable for making sure who ever owns this doesn't basically get killed while traveling through time, the other one I added, it's responsable for making sure whoever owns this doesn't get killed while traveling through space"

He said this so casually that Scott did not at all expect what Stiles did next. He connected the wires quickly, something like electricity spat into the air around the watch as Stiles literally through the vortex manipulator at it.

The creature screamed as odd electricity arched around him. If spasmed in agony then Scott watched as it hanging skin was torn apart, red blood spurted from the wounds. With a final scream it disappeared.

Almost like he'd been vaporised.

Scott...didn't know what to do or how to react or even what to think.

Stiles grinned slowly.

"It worked" He muttered.

Scott's eyes narrowed slightly at that...

"You didn't know if that would work?!"

Stiles walked over to the spot where the creature had been and bent down, picking something up that looked like metal as he replied "You don't want me to answer that"

Scott tried not to scream in frustration at that.

Instead...

"What even is that?!"

Stiles smiled but it was rather a dark smile, he held up the odd square metal object, holding it almost delicately.

"This is what made it so deadly. Attach this on to any thing and it'll kill them instantly, this is what I was after"

A uneasy feeling spread through Scott as he asked warily "And why where you after that?"

The answer like he thought, was not something he wanted to hear. He really wished he hadn't asked.

"Because" Stiles said "This can kill Time Lords"
