Saving Stiles; 1

"Stiles," Aspen says, slowly standing up from the couch as she walks to the wall with the symbol 'self' on it. Stiles looks at her confusedly, but still stands up to follow her, only to see her looking at the wall with knit together eyebrows. She crouches down and slowly knocks on the wall, revealing a hollow sound on the other side while she turns her head to Stiles, her eyes showing just how she is as confused as he is. "Do you hear that?" she asks him, thinking of a way to open the wall up without making too much noise, as Stiles hears a knocking sound come out of it. He looks around for something he can use to open the wall, finding a small pole and grabbing it, only to be stopped by Aspen. He looks at her confused as she turns her gaze to the wall, flexing her fingers to retrieve a crimson colored ball which she moves around in her hands, before shooting it at the wall, leaving a hole in it. "Yeah- that works too," he says, amazed at what she can do, as she walks up to the wall and looks through the hole. As he follows to look, he drops the small pole, making Aspen look at him feeling the fear he gets from what's in front of them. "This is him," he tells her, as she looks at him questionably, "The nogitsune?" she asks him, not understanding how a dead person, bandaged up like this, can make him feel like he is loosing himself. She leans forward, towards the dead guy, and puts her hand in one of his pockets, pulling out a picture of supposedly the guy and his girlfriend. She hands it to Stiles, "Recognize them?" she asks him, as she turns back to look through the hole, searching for more things that he could, maybe, use. "One of them." he answers her, seeing a face one of his friends is getting quite close with, before getting hit in the back by electricity. As he falls to the ground, Aspen turns her head around, trying to make contact with the attackers brain only to find out she can't enter it. "You took Brunski's keys, I took his stun gun." Oliver explains as they both look at him with fear before he hits Aspen as well, making her slide down the wall, to the ground. "I also got his Haldol." he adds, holding up the syringe in his hand and injecting it in the girls' leg, making her fall asleep with ease, before turning to Stiles. "Like I was saying Stiles. I heard they used to do trepanation here." Oliver continues, turning around and slowly walking a few steps away from him. "Oliver-" Stiles weakly says, "What are you doing?" Oliver picks up something and turns back to look at him. "I'm going to let the evil spirits out." he tells him, holding onto the drill in his hand as he puts it on, with Stiles shaking in fear, not only of what was going to happen to him, but also about what he was going to do with the redheaded girl next to him.

Aspen can feel her head sobbing, hurting like it never had before, as she wakes up. She opens her eyes, confusion in them as she sees someone standing in front of her. "Stiles?" she asks as she sees him put down a drill on the table next to her, after feeling her hands are tied up she's wide awake. He turns around to look at her, smirking, making her see that the nogitsune took over again. She wants to infiltrate his mind, stop the nogitsune from leaving, but her head hurts too much for her to use her mental manipulation. After she sees him leaving, her hands show the crimson force, guiding it towards the cuffs to free herself with one move of her fingers. She stands up slowly and makes her way up the stairs, determined to help get Stiles back.

"You want to handcuff me?" Stiles asks as his father walks down into Derek's loft. "If my son is still here, if there's still a part of him standing here in front of me," the sheriff starts, walking towards his son, "then he'll put these on willingly and he'll come with me. Because he knows, I'm here to protect him." he adds as he looks at his son, who looks broken, trying to avoid his fathers eyes. "From himself and from others." the man continues as Stiles puts his hands up, glaring towards the elder man in front of him, trying to put cuffs on his son. He looks down at the cuffs and back up to the sheriff, giving him a look, mentally asking him if he really thinks it'll stop him. The man steps back, looking heartbroken, "You're not my son." he states, slightly shaking his head. Stiles copies his actions, before breaking the cuffs easily with an annoyed look on his face as the others walk in. The brunette tries to stun him, but the nogitsune grabs onto the wire, pulling her forward, while she gives him a terrified look before throwing the gun out of her hands. Derek charges at him, but Stiles grabs onto his arm easily, twisting it behind his back and slams his face into the nearest table, throwing him on the ground afterwards. The other man in the room draws his gun, pointing it straight at the boys face, who turns to look at him amused. "Argent, listen to me, don't do this." the sheriff says, knowing the man wasn't bluffing by pointing his gun at his son. "Why not? I've done it before." he tells the other man, "Werewolves, Berserkers, I can easily add a nogitsune to the list." he continues, before the sheriff draws his own gun, aiming at the head of Mr. Argent. "You're not going to shoot my son." the man tells him, giving him a death glare, "You said it yourself, sheriff. That is not your son." the Argent tells him, nodding towards the Nogitsune. "Put it down," the sheriff commands, determined to not let anything happen to his son on his watch. "Dad, he's going to shoot me." Stiles says, "He's going to kill me, dad." he continues, "Don't listen." the Argent tries. "Put it down!" the sheriff tells him again, tightening his grip on his own gun, still pointing it at the other man, "Now! Do it!" he adds. "Put it down!" he yells, not knowing about the girl who just waked into the building, a few floors below them, and hearing the screams of the sheriff. "Pull the trigger, come on." the nogitsune taunts the Argent, while the sheriff keeps trying to make him put down the gun and while the other girl makes her way up the stairs, trying to go to their floor. They keep screaming back and forth, making it even easier for the redhead to determine where she has to go, finally coming to the right floor and slowly, without anyone noticing, walks through the door. "But I'm glad you all got your guns out." the nogitsune says, turning to the window, "Because you're not here to kill me." he continues. Thinking he was going to finish his own sentence, everyone got startled when they hear a new, foreign voice finish for him. "You're all here to protect him." she says, letting the crimson force form around her hands as her eyes light up with the same color, "Just like I am." she finishes, throwing a ball of the force towards one of the oni, throwing him away.

After the fight, they notice not only that the oni are gone, but also that Stiles is gone with them. Catching their breaths in the middle of the loft, all the eyes turn to look at Aspen as she turns to the door, readying herself for attacking whoever enters. Everyone but Aspen sighs, relieved, as they notice the two people walking through the door, who Aspen can identify as Scott and Kira, by making a quick look in their brains. "What happened?" the True Alpha asks them, not noticing the redhead in the corner of the room, as he look from one person to another. No wonder he gets startled when he hears her speak up, instead of the others, "They disappeared." she tells him, looking at him from across the room. "They literally just vanished," Alison adds to that, looking sadly at Scott, knowing he's hurt because this he to happen to his best friend as Aspen finishes for them both, "And so did Stiles."

Lydia, Aiden and Aspen are sitting in Lydia's car, with Aspen not really paying any attention to what was happening when she hears Aiden speak up, "You, at least, going to tell us where we're going?" he asks, referring to himself and the redhead in the back. "I need to check on something." the Banshee answers, keeping both of her eyes on the road, "Who is, Malia Tate?" he then asks, pronouncing her name wrong and making Aspen roll her eyes. "You say it like this, Mah-Leah." she answers for the first time, making Aiden turn backwards to face her and Lydia looking at her through the mirror. "And you don't need to worry about it." Lydia finishes for her, taking the paper Aiden was holding out of his hands, "Well, I'm actually a little worried that we're lost." the werewolf tells her as she turns right, again. "Why would you think that?" she asks him, not understanding what he means, "Because, you just made your forth right. And, four rights make a circle." he tells her, gaining the attention from the other girl as well. "I did not!" Lydia says, looking overly annoyed, "Did I?" she adds, more to question herself than anyone else there. "It's a brand-new car," she excuses herself, "The GPS was fine before." she adds, making Aspen lean forward in between the two, "Maybe the GPS would work better if it was on." she suggests, Lydia looking at her through the mirror. "What?" she says, looking to the GPS, indeed seeing it's off and not on, making her freak out slowly, "Lydia, you okay?" both Aiden and Aspen ask her, seeing as how she keeps clicking on one single button the whole time. "I need to stop," she tells them "I need to pull over right now!" she continues as she pulls up on the parking lot next to the road, with Aiden who keeps calling her name. Aspen sees something on the ground, near their car and gasps, screaming and telling Lydia to stop, before getting out of the car and running towards something lying on the ground, or rather, someone; "Stiles?"
