Forbidden Truth

Chapter 25

Chapter 25
It took me a while to calm down and make the crazy eyes go away but I did it without either Derek or Chris noticing. I didn't want to be questioned about even more bazaar things that were happening to me. We pulled up to the loft soon after Alison and Stilinski did. We all got out and gathered between the cars.
"Okay. The plan is the Sheriff goes in first and talks to him. If he confirms it's the Nogitsune the rest of us follow and we go from there." Alison told us. I have to admit, Alison is doing very well with her position as leader. I'll never forget when Chris told me that their sons are trained to be soldiers and the daughters to be leaders. I would have been a leader.
We all went into the building and up the stairs. We hid just beside the door to the loft. Sheriff looked over at us. I nodded to him for encouragement. I can't help but wonder what he's going through. His son is possessed by a trickster spirit. The innocent Stiles is possessed by an evil spirit.
Stilinski walked into the loft. The scent hit me. Stiles was here. But something in his scent suggested that something about him was off. Alison had been right. Stiles is here. But Chris was also right. It was a threat. I looked at Chris and Alison and nodded. Chris's expression tightened and Alison took a deep breath.
"Hi, Dad." I heard Stiles's voice say. But it's not Stiles. I have to keep reminding myself that. I heard metal clank together. "You want to handcuff me?" Stiles asked. I heard Stilinski slowly walked down the stairs. "If my son is still here, if there's still a part of him standing here in front of me, then he'll put these on willingly and he'll come with me, because he knows I'm here to protect him from himself and from others."
I closed my eyes and inhaled. I could smell tension and I could tell it wasn't from the Sheriff. I heard the handcuffs close twice. Then I felt satisfaction and realization. And not from the same person. "You're not my son." Sheriff said. The handcuffs snapped off. That was our cue.
Alison and Chris walked in followed my me and Derek. Stiles looked up and smirked at us. Alison walked over to him. She held the taser gun up and fired. Stiles caught it in his hand before it could hit his body. The impact had no effects on him. Alison looked shocked. Stiles threw the gun to the side.
I was scared he was going to hurt her. I felt a pull inside me and I didn't try to stop it. My teeth and nails came out. I roared and ran at him, my shoes coming off as I went. I acted like I was going to swing at him but last minute I spun around. My feet made contact with his abdomen. He barley moved from the impact. He grabbed my leg and threw me. I slammed against a pillar, I felt my ribs break, and fell to the ground, hitting my head against the floor. Pain spread through my chest and my head.
Derek roared at him, enraged. Just as Derek threw a punch Stiles put his arm up, blocking the hit. He pulled Derek's arm back. Bone cracked. Stiles pulled Derek across him and slammed his head against the desk. He then threw him against a pillar near me. Derek hit the ground and coughed.
I heard a gun cock. I looked up alarmed. Derek heard it too. Chris held a gun up at Stiles. Stiles tuned around. Stilinski put a hand up. I tried to get up but it just hurt me more. I was healing fast but not fast enough.
"Argent, listen to me. Don't do this." Sheriff said slowly. He was scared. Stiles is all he has now. The rest of his family was gone. He won't be able to lose him. "Why not? I've done it before." Chris insisted. Derek was up and was trying to help me without causing me too much pain. "Werewolves, berserkers. I can easily add a Nogitsune to the list." Chris said. Sheriff pulled a gun out and pointed it at Chris. I growled angrily. Stiles may be all he has, and I may have sworn that I would let myself be killed before Stiles was, but Chris is the closest thing I have to a father and I will not lose him.
Stiles raised an eyebrow. He wanted this and I wanted to tear his head off. Chris looked at Stilinski. "You're not going to shoot my son." Sheriff ordered. I kept my claws and my teeth out. Stilinski maybe human and he maybe innocent but I will attack him if he shoots that gun or even contemplates it.
"You said it yourself, Sheriff." Stiles looked at Chris. "That's not your son." Chris said. My body tensed up. "Put it down." Sheriff said. Chris didn't move. "Put it down." He repeated.
"Dad, he's going to shoot me." Stiles said. No. No. I growled. "He's going to kill me, Dad." Stiles said. I began to shake with anger. "Don't listen." Chris said. I felt like I was going to explode from the amount of rage I was keeping in. "Put it down." Sheriff repeated. Chris didn't move. "Now! Do it! Put it down!" Stilinski yelled.
"Pull the trigger. Come on." Stiles said. I held myself back from attacking Stiles. "Listen to me, you put the gun down!" Sheriff yelled. Anger was boiling in my blood. "Shoot me." Stiles said as Sheriff still yelled. My teeth and claws tingled."Put the gun down now!" Could Stilinski not hear the words coming out of Stiles's mouth?
Alison looked at her father. "Dad." She said trying to get his attention. "Shoot me!" Stiles yelled. I can't stay still much longer. "Put the gun down!" Stilinski yelled. "Shoot me!" Stiles yelled. I was about to explode. "Argent, you put it down!" Sheriff yelled. "Strife." Alison whispered. "Put it down! Put it down!" Sheriff yelled. The sun was almost gone. "Put it down!" Stilinski yelled. I couldn't contain the anger anymore. I had to release it or I was going to shred someone into tiny pieces. I roared. It was almost the loudest I've ever been and that was saying something.
"Stop. Stop it. This is exactly what he wants." Alison said. Everyone shut up. "Not exactly." Stiles said. We all looked at him. I growled. "I was kind of hoping Scott would be here. But I'm glad you all have your guns out. Because you're not here to kill me." Stiles said and turned around. Four oni appeared in front of us. "You're here to protect me."
The two men put their guns down and Stiles backup between them. The oni pulled their swords out. Chris pulls the trigger but the gun doesn't fire. He tried it again. I caught the look on Alison's face. Of course.
Sheriff fired his gun as Chris pulled another gun out. Shots fire but nothing happens. Derek, Alison and I get behind Stiles and face the two oni behind him. The oni runs at us.
